Re: [flexcoders] windows 8 store app onscreen keyboard invoking
ah ok. I set up a test where I added accessibility properties to the
sprite. Doesn't invoke the keyboard in metro :(
I've also traced out Accessibility.active onto a textfield in metro and it
returns false.
Here's the added code:
private function init():void
{
drawSprite(); // Does not invoke Metro soft Keyboard
drawSpriteWithEventHandler(); // Does not invoke Metro soft Keyboard
drawTextField(); // Does not invoke Metro soft Keyboard
drawInputTextField(); // successfully invokes Metro soft Keyboard
setTimeout(updateAccessibility, 2000);
}
private function updateAccessibility():void {
console.text += "Accessibility.active: " + Accessibility.active+'\n';
if(Accessibility.active) {
Accessibility.updateProperties();
}
}
private function drawSpriteWithEventHandler():void
{
textInputEH = new Sprite();
textInputEH.x = 100;
textInputEH.y = 200;
var g:Graphics = textInputEH.graphics;
g.beginFill(0x22ff00, 1);
g.drawRect(0,0,200,80);
g.endFill();
addChild(textInputEH);
textInputEH.buttonMode = true;
textInputEH.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function
(event:MouseEvent):void
{
console.text += event.currentTarget+'\n';
} );
addEventListener(Event.ADDED, addedHandler);
var accessProps:AccessibilityProperties = new AccessibilityProperties();
accessibilityProperties = accessProps;
}
private function addedHandler(event:Event):void {
console.text += "addedHandler: " + name+'\n';
var accessProps:AccessibilityProperties = new AccessibilityProperties();
accessProps.name = 'spriteWithAccessability';
accessProps.description = 'textbox';
textInputEH.accessibilityProperties = accessProps;
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED, addedHandler);
}

Re: [flexcoders] windows 8 store app onscreen keyboard invoking
Hi Alex Yep, focus definitely does go to the sprite and the stage's focus is set. I also outputted all the events that the textinput received (I've excluded some overly chatty ones like enterframe) Accessibly is enabled for the project and I've added the following to the MXML textInput which seem to no difference: accessibilityEnabled="true" accessibilityName="textbox" accessibilityDescription="textbox" when I have a universal event listerner I get these events in both displayAsPassword enabled and disabled textInputs: preinitialize initialize resize creationComplete activate touchBegin touchRollOver touchOver removed focusIn touchMove removed touchMove touchEnd touchTap touchOut touchRollOut click On 19 September 2012 19:44, Alex Harui wrote: > stage.focus
Re: [flexcoders] windows 8 store app onscreen keyboard invoking
Hi Alex
I'm using Flex SDK 4.5A (problem also occurs on 4.6)
The flash player is version 11.3.372.94 on windows 8 64 bit and as far as I
know IE have gone the same route as flash and rolled their own version of
the flash player inside the browser.
Metro officially supports flash sites that comply with their conditions as
set out here (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/jj193557%28v=vs.85%29.aspx )
Microsoft's official policy on invoking the keyboard is that it must be
under the control of the user and can not be problematically invoked. The
way to invoke the keyboard is one of the following from this page (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465404.aspx ) :
Accessibility properties from UI Automation (UIA)
User tap
Focus changes
from their docs : *UI Automation is the mechanism through which developers
communicate whether or not a particular UI element can receive text input.
You must ensure that the appropriate accessibility properties are set in
your apps so that the touch keyboard will know to appear when focus lands
on a specific UI element.*
*
*
Their own windows provided controls do this automatically otherwise inside
of your html you need to add the following:
So that's how it works in html. I haven't found any documentation of help
on forums explaining how they decide when to bring up the keyboard in a
flash situation.
As you suggested I made an AS only site to see what works and what doesn't.
a normal sprite doesn't invoke the keyboard, neither does a sprite with a
mouse click listener. A normal textField doesn't invoke the keyboard but a
textfield with type set to TextFieldType.INPUT does invoke the keyboard
(which makes sense)
So somehow microsoft (I'm guessing) are inside of flash detecting what kind
of component recieved focus and if it's a editable textfield then it does
bring up the keyboard.
The intriguing thing is that for some reason when a spark textInput /
RichEditableText is set to displayAsPassword = true it DOES bring up the
keyboard so perhaps somewhere in the framework setting that flag causes the
component to somehow be perceived as a input component which quite strange
to me since I can't see why setting that condition would make any
difference.
Here's my test code:
package
{
import flash.display.Graphics;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageQuality;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;

import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldType;
public class CleanAsProject extends Sprite
{
public function CleanAsProject()
{
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; //this stuff is required since
I'm working in flash builder and if you you don't put it in your graphics
scale is whack
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.quality = StageQuality.HIGH;
init();
}
private function init():void
{
drawSprite(); // Does not invoke Metro soft Keyboard
drawSpriteWithEventHandler(); // Does not invoke Metro soft Keyboard
drawTextField(); // Does not invoke Metro soft Keyboard
drawInputTextField(); // successfully invokes Metro soft Keyboard
}
private function drawTextField():void
{
var textField:TextField = new TextField;
addChild(textField);
textField.x = 100;
textField.y = 300;
textField.height = 50;
textField.text = 'click me';
}
private function drawInputTextField():void
{
var textField:TextField = new TextField;
addChild(textField);
textField.x = 100;
textField.y = 350;
textField.height = 50;
textField.text = 'input text into me';
textField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
textField.background = true;
}
private function drawSpriteWithEventHandler():void
{
var textInputEH:Sprite = new Sprite();
textInputEH.x = 100;
textInputEH.y = 200;
var g:Graphics = textInputEH.graphics;
g.beginFill(0x44ff00, 1);
g.drawRect(0,0,200,80);
g.endFill();

Re: [flexcoders] windows 8 store app onscreen keyboard invoking
Hi Alex The problem occurs with the spark RichEditableText therefore also textInput (not for MX:textInput). I set up a little test inside of windows 8 metro where traced out all the events for both a normal textInput and a textInput with displayAsPassword="true" and they are firing identical events. The one with displayAsPassword="true" invokes the keyboard perfectly everytime. I've also extended the RichEditableText class and overwritten some of the methods that are dependant on the displayAsPassword flag to see if that makes any difference but no luck.

[flexcoders] windows 8 store app onscreen keyboard invoking
Hi All I'm busy testing our application in the windows 8 store app browser and I've noticed that the keyboard automatically appears when you click on a flash text input but not when you click on a flex text input. I'm guessing that MS are doing some kind of event detection which invokes the onscreen keyboard but that they didn't do the same thing for flex text inputs. I've also checked it seems that one cannot invoke the keyboard manually with javascript. Has anyone run into this problem before and found a solution? I've also noticed that it DOES bring up the keyboard if you have set displayAsPassword="true" for some reason. Has anyone got any idea why this is happening and how I can work around/solve it? Thanks Wouter
Re: [flexcoders] Re: datagrid not rendering after dataprovider update
Thanks Alex
Your workaround works perfectly,
I've filed the bug here : http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-32172

Re: [flexcoders] datagrid not rendering after dataprovider update
Hi Alex
To replicate the problem.
- launch the app (it will populate the datagrid with values)
- choose a different date in the date picker on the top left
- the dataprovider will get updated but the datagrid doesn't update
properly, instead it just remains blank
- use the scroller on the right-hand side to scroll through the datagrid,
the datagrid will then render properly
Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] datagrid not rendering after dataprovider update
I thought that that may be the case, so I removed all my custom
itemrenderers but the problem remains, I've also noticed that the problem
only occurs after I have entered a date range, if I stick with the standard
date range then problem doesn't occur.

[flexcoders] datagrid not rendering after dataprovider update
Hi All
I've run into a rendering problem with the datagrid.
I have a datagrid that a user can search using a date range, furthermore
the user can also search using keywords. I do this by first looking at the
date range and applying a filter to the array of objects based on the
dates. Then I make of a copy of that arraycollection and assign the
arraycollection which binds to my datagrid to that collection.
The problem is that when the user selects a date range and I apply the
filter, the datagrid content disappears. The scrollbar on the side updates
though and if I scroll down then the content appears and renders correctly.
I've tried the following post refresh commands but none of them solve the
problem.
(datagrid.dataProvider as ArrayCollection).refresh();
datagrid .invalidateSkinState();
datagrid .invalidateDisplayList();
datagrid .validateNow();
Here's the code where I get the date range.
var dateFilteredArray:Array = _transactions.source.filter(
function (item:Transaction, index:int, array:Array):Boolean
{
if(Date.parse(item.displayDate) < dateRangeComponent.startDate.valueOf() ||
Date.parse(item.displayDate) > dateRangeComponent.endDate.valueOf())
return false
else
return true //item is inside date range
}
);
_dateFilteredCollection = new ArrayCollection(dateFilteredArray);
Anyone run into this before?

[flexcoders] different handling of mouseWheelEvents in internet explorer and firefox/Chrome
Hi All
I've been having problems with the amount of scrolling that happens when
you use the mouse-wheel with VScrollBar. I came up with two possible
solutions(well actually my co-worked came up with the one and I came up
with the other), one is to prevent the default behaviour of the
mouseWheelChanging event. The other was to extend the vScrollbar class and
overwrite some functionality inside it. Both implementations are below. The
problem is that while both of these solutions work inside of firefox and
chrome, they don't seem to work in IE9, I'm guessing that IE9 is somehow
sending mouse-wheel events differently to the way it's done with the
flashplayer in the other browsers.
Has anyone encountered this before and know of a workaround?
Thanks
Wouter
like so:
---MXML-
--- AS
-
package za.co.briteblue.twentytwoseven.presentation.components
{
import mx.events.FlexMouseEvent;
import spark.components.VScrollBar;
public class MouseWheelInhibitor
{
public static function mouseWheelChangingHandler(event:FlexMouseEvent):void
{
// don't scroll by preventing default
event.preventDefault();
// est amount to scroll based on height of viewport.
var delta:Number = VScrollBar(event.target).viewport.height / 20;
if(event.delta < 0)
VScrollBar(event.target).viewport.verticalScrollPosition += delta;
else
VScrollBar(event.target).viewport.verticalScrollPosition -= delta;
}
}
}
--- other solution extending the vscrollbar
class -
package za.co.briteblue.twentytwoseven.presentation.components

public function TTSVScrollBar()
{

}
// @author: braam

scroll position update.
// when viewport is a datagrid, performance is terrible for mouse wheel
scrolling.
override mx_internal function mouseWheelHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
const vp:IViewport = viewport;
if (event.isDefaultPrevented() || !vp || !vp.visible || !visible)
return;
// Dispatch the "mouseWheelChanging" event. If preventDefault() is called
// on this event, the event will be cancelled. Otherwise if the delta
// is modified the new value will be used.
var changingEvent:FlexMouseEvent =
MouseEventUtil.createMouseWheelChangingEvent(event);
if (!dispatchEvent(changingEvent))
{
event.preventDefault();
return;
}
const delta:int = changingEvent.delta;
var nSteps:uint = Math.abs(delta);
var navigationUnit:uint;
var scrollPositionChanged:Boolean;
// Scroll delta "steps".
navigationUnit = (delta < 0) ? NavigationUnit.DOWN : NavigationUnit.UP;
for (var vStep:int = 0; vStep < nSteps; vStep++)
{
var vspDelta:Number = vp.getVerticalScrollPositionDelta(navigationUnit);

}
}

dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE));
event.preventDefault();
}
}
}
Re: [flexcoders] external debugger
well the kind of functionality I'm looking for is really for the back end programmers, occasionally they need to dip into the flex side of things and they have a lot of difficulty figuring out which class they need to work on(for instance you have your application, then a module, then a component which contains an itemrenderer which contains another itemrenderer and on of those has some custom component inside). If they can just hover their mouse over that element and it tells them what class it is it would help them alot. On 9 February 2012 07:17, Alex Harui wrote: > ** > > > FDB comes with the SDK.

[flexcoders] spark DataGrid
Hi All Does anyone know how I can get the actual number of visible rows for a spark datagrid similar to the mx datagrid which had the handy feature rowCount. Basically I want my last itemrenderer to do something different if it's the last itemrenderer. I thought I had this licked with the code: if(rowIndex == dataProvider.length) since I don't have a scrollbar and display all itemrenderers at once in the datagrid I thought that the dataprovider's length and the total number of rows would work, but this is not the case, sometimes there are 1 or 2 more itemrenderers than displayed?

[flexcoders] explicitly setting tabbing order on an itemrenderer in a datagrid
Hi All I've got two datagrids using the same itemrenderer class with two different dataproviders, When they are initially rendered the tabbing order works perfectly. However I've built in some functionality that if you insert a value into a textinput inside the itemrenderer it dispatches an event which updates the datamodels for the two dataproviders which can result in the "transfer" of one itemrenderer to another. That isn't really what's happening of course, just that the dataproviders for the two datagrids get updated and then they rerender to reflect that. The problem is that when I update the dataprovider it seems to mess up my tabbing order. On the datagrid from which I'm removing an item the tab order gets reversed. From the datagrid to which an item is added the tabbing order is seemingly random. Is there a way in which I can explicitly set the tabbing order or itemrenderer each time the data changes? Thanks Wouter
[flexcoders] access focusColor inside of custom focus skin
Hi All. I'm trying to create a custom focus skin for a textinput I have. However I'd like the color of the skin to be dynamically assigned at runtime. What I thought of doing is assigning the focusColor to a binding variable. However I don't know how to access the focusColour property from within my custom skin since my custom skin targets skinnable component and not textInput. Anyone have any ideas how to approach this? Thanks Wouter
[flexcoders] prevent flash builder from opening interfaces
Hi Guys/Gals When I ctrl-click on a robotlegs injected class that implements an interface like so: - context file - injector.mapSingletonOf(ITransactionService, TransactionService); - context file - - some mediator - [Inject] public var transactionService:ITransactionService; - some mediator - It opens the interface which I guess makes sense but isn't really very useful to me. Is there a way to configure flashbuilder the automatically open the actual class? Thanks Wouter
Re: [flexcoders] Re: code out of sync with flash builder
well I am running windows 7, but I sure as hell am not going back to XP :D Did you have to go through this process every time you debug? or only when encountering the problem and then it would solve it for a while?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: code out of sync with flash builder
Yeah... I'm aware of that setting. under window>preferences>run/debug>launching>Continue launch if project contains errors. I've set that to prompt but it's not the cause of the problem. I see there's another setting "Luanch operation" mine is set to "launch the selected resource or active editor. If not launchable: launch the associated project" instead of "launch the previously launched application" What is yours set to?

[flexcoders] code out of sync with flash builder
Hi All I'm continually running into this problem. When I debug my code flash builder intermittently show's me the previous build. It's super frustrating because you make a complex logic change to your code and then it doesn't work and you never know if it's that the code is wrong or flash builder just screwed up and is showing you the previous version. Anyone else run into this and know of some concrete steps I can take to prevent it from happening? A friend of mine runs FDT and says he's also encountered it so I'm guessing it's an eclipse problem. Any help would be appreciated thanks Wouter

Re: [flexcoders] Re: exclude certain classes from debugging session
ok well basically say I'm trying to track the flow a certain command is taking, so for instance someone clicks a button in a view class, that dispatches an event to the view's mediator which then dispatches another event to robotlegs which then triggers a navigation event along with some requests to get data,etc , in this instance some of the navigation animations are being handled by tweener which is using an enterframe event to do it's animation. So if I hit F6 I keep getting pulled into tweeners' class like 60 times because it's using an onEnterframe, and then you could have some component that has a lot of invalidate calls as it renders itself. So basically I'd like to be able to say, hey I know all these classes are doing things but I don't care about them I want to skip over them automatically when I hit step over.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: exclude certain classes from debugging session
yes, I'm familiar with watch expressions but they don't really help me with this project, I'm working on a project with thousands of classes and want to monitor the activity taking place in a couple of the classes while excluding the rest.

[flexcoders] exclude certain classes from debugging session
Hi All When debugging some code and stepping through or stepping over some code, is it possible to configure flex to not include certain classes in the debugging session or at least to entirely skip those classes from begin included in the debugging session(but they still need to execute, just don't want to see it) The reason for this is that sometimes I'm stepping though some code and there are certain classes just dont' want to know about (for instance tweening classes or robotlegs) Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks Wouter
[flexcoders] state behaviours not working after overriding state styles
Hi All
I've run into a small problem I was wondering it any of you have run into.
I'm overriding some state style in my mxml document depending on when what
kind of data I'm receiving. here's the function:
protected function decideColour(event:FlexEvent, money:Money):void
{
if(money.debitOrCredit == "credit")
{
// do nothing
} else
{
// just setting it with normal setstlyle also because otherwise doesn't
redraw the itemrenderer and none of the invalidate functions seem to work
event.target.setStyle("color", colours.debtColour);
setStyleForState(event.target, "color", "normal", colours.debtColour);
setStyleForState(event.target, "color", "hovered",
colours.debtHoverColour);
setStyleForState(event.target, "color", "selected",
colours.debtSelectedColour);
}
}
private function setStyleForState(object:Object, style:String, state:String,
value:Object):void {
var editedState:State;
for each(var s:State in this.states) {
if(s.name == state) {
editedState = s;
break;
}
}
editedState.overrides = [ new SetStyle( object as IStyleClient, style,
value) ];
}
This works fun but the problem is that as soon as I do this none of my other
state related events trigger anymore. For instance I have this code here
which works fine before I use the setStyleForState fucntion.
I've managed to work around it manually by firing the stateChangeComplete
event and then making two seperate rectangles visible/invisible but it would
still be interesting to know why this is happening.
Anyone run into this before?
[flexcoders] consistent dynamic layout
Hi All
I've got a minor problem with doing an itemrenderer layout.
I've got an itemrenderer which renders master categories, each of these
master categories then renders a list. My problem comes in with the list and
more specifically it's titles, I'd like to to be dynamic in the sense that
I'd like the items in the list to take up the entire width of the browser.
In order for the layout to be dynamic I'm using the width percentage of the
containing movieclip to set the positioning (width = "{this.width * .2}")
The problem is that even though the list and it's parent movieclip are the
same size they don't seem to be getting the same value. And therefore my
list items aren't lining up with their title.
Each list has a bunch of titles/descriptors for each item in the list then
the actual item renderer, like this:
inside the code for the list item:
does anyone have an suggestion on how I can achieve this layout?
thanks
