[flexcoders] Drawing a Grid
Does anyway happen to know the best way to draw a grid inside of Sprite that uses the least amount of mem/processing? I have a sprite that can be up to 40,000 pixels wides by 40,000 pixels high and I need to draw a grid in the background of the sprite, similar to Visio. The issue is when I just try drawing the lines in the sprite it takes up a huge amount of memory. I was wondering if maybe I only draw the lines 2x the width and height of the screen and then if the user scrolls the swf then redraw the lines based on position? Anyone ever tried this or have any suggestions or examples?
[flexcoders] Re: Text stuck on screen BUG in FP10 or IE7????
Alex, wanted to update you that the issue is with FP10. I tried the bitmap snapshot of the swf and it did not show the ghosting/artifacts and I test the app on several machines and several browsers on those machines and we the ghosting was still there. Ghosting has started to hit other areas of my app almost making it unusable, keep in mind it is a pretty mem/processor intensive app. I uninstalled FP10 and installed FP10.1 beta 2 and the ghosting is gone and the app now performs anywhere from 25% to 50% better.

[flexcoders] Can a canvas be scrollable without the scrollbars?
Anyone know of a way to set the horizontalScrollPolicy and verticalScrollPolicy both to false so that the scrollbars don't show, but still have the canvas scroll? I have content that inside the canvas that will always be larger than the canvas so I want to be able to scroll without showing any scrollbars. This is like the little zoom panel/control in the bottom right-hand corner of Google maps. thx, j
[flexcoders] CPU Freezing up! Any Tips???
So I have a Flex 4 app that is very processor intensive around 1000 objects each with their own embedded swf's coupled with drawing api and can't use cacheAsBitmap as things are moving and morphing. Anyway, I had a couple of ideas but didn't know if they would help much or make things worse. #1. Would it make a difference to set StageQuality = LOW when things are moving and the set StageQuality = HIGH when things stop moving/transition? #2. The other idea is that about 500 of the 1000 items on the stage are not shown all the time (user has zoomed in; think Google Maps), so would it help out to remove the embedded swf's, on the 500 of the visible stage area, and then re-embed when they are visible on stage? If so I was thinking adding an eventlistener to each of the 1000 items to recognize when off stage or have some control that recognizes the zoom or drag and then starts embedding the swf's in the 1000 items if they are with in the viewable stage are. But then I think wouldn't this make things worse since items would be embedded and re-embedded over and over? Or would it make things better as leaving them embedded and redrawing them when dragged or transitioned on every frame exit? Probably lost you. TIA, Jason
[flexcoders] when is concatenatedMatrix set?
Can anyone tell me when concatenatedMatrix is set during instantiation? Or point me to an article would be great. Or the entire transform object for that matter? Thanks, Jason
[flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back
Alex, first thanks for spending so much time helping me with this.
How do I handle all the rest? Flex specific classes? Should I monkey patch?
See error below my custom object needs to have all this serialized and
dematerialized as well.:
ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on flash.geom::Transform().
Expected 1, got 0.

[flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back
I don't think so. Its just that it isn't just a generic simple Object or Array
but rather a large Class file which contains other large class files.
So imagine saving something like your entire displaylist, but not the visual
just the data behind it.
The object I am saving cotains over 100 over objects and these 100 objects
contains a handful of objects.

[flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back
Alex, what else can I try? I have tried implementing IExternalizable in every
class and it doesn't seem to work, I think I might be close as one class is
causing me issue "Datalist". When I implement IExternalizable and flex starts
decoding the bytearray it throws an error on "Datalist" constructor. It
expecting one arguement in the constructor Datalist(name:String) and I guess
Flex isn't passing it the arguement.

[flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back
This is what I have assuming I use the lib directory structure and not my app
structure?
[RemoteClass(alias="flare.vis.data.DataList")]
public class DataList extends Proxy implements IEventDispatcher
The actual directory structure is(notice src):
[RemoteClass(alias="src.flare.vis.data.DataList")]
public class DataList extends Proxy implements IEventDispatcher
This didn't work. I tried going in and creating getters and setters for all
protected and private properties which got some of the data back, but not all
of it.

[flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back
I can't seem to get this to work saving to a SQLite3 database. The code works
writing (Data object contains 101 objects), but when reading the bytearray the
Data object ends up with 0 objects inside it. Its like it just returns a new
Data object. FYI, the Data object I am converting to a bytearray is holder for
other objects.
Writing code:
public function shouldPrepareDatasetAsByteArrayAndSaveToDB( data:Data ) : String
{
registerClassAlias("flare.vis.data.Data", Data);
var d:Data = data;
var byteArray:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
byteArray.writeObject(d);
byteArray.position = 0;
var base64Enc:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
var str:String = '';
base64Enc.encodeBytes( byteArray );
str = base64Enc.toString();
return str;
}
Reading code:
private function shouldPrepareDatasUnWindByteArray( str:* ) : Data
{
var base64Dec:Base64Decoder = new Base64Decoder();
base64Dec.decode( str );
var byteArray:ByteArray = base64Dec.toByteArray();
byteArray.position = 0;
registerClassAlias("flare.vis.data.Data", Data);
var data:Data = byteArray.readObject();
return data;
}

[flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back
Not sure how that works and would I need it if I am not saving the file to a SharedObject? I am trying to save a CustomData class to a sqlite database. So I am trying to convert to a bytearray and then string. So that if the user opens the app say a week later they can pull the object from the db and the app will work.

So I am using var myArray:Array = [someObjectOfTypeObject, someOtherObjectOfTypeObject ]; bytearray.writeObject(myArray); var blah:Array = bytearray.readObject(); Blah comes back with two Objects but not someObjectOfTypeObject they come back with generic "Objects" and no data inside?

[flexcoders] undo a matrix transformation
So in my app I am using the senocular transformtool so that a user can rotate, scale, skew a sprite object by applying a matrix transformation to it. I need to allow the user to undo this. How would I go about undoing this? I tried to just invert() the altered matrix that gets applied to the sprite object, but when I do that sprite ends up off screen in some other location and the none of he rotation or scaled stuff is undone. I also tried to invert() and the concate the inverted matrix with the the current matrix of the sprite, but that didn't work either? Any suggestions? J

[flexcoders] Scaling issues.
I am using a library that has a built in scaling so you create an object from the library and when you scale everything in the object will scale. Think Google maps. So the issue I am having is that I am using a TransformTool Senocular's that is. So when a transform tool is in side the framework object it gets scaled as well ending up with a giant transformtool. How can I keep the Transformtool from scaling? Or counter it. Something like transformtool.scaleX = 1 - frameworkObject.scaleX; transformtool.scaleY = 1 - frameworkObject.scaleY; Thanks, J

[flexcoders] Question for Math guys/girls
I have a line which can be horizontal or diagnol, and the user can make it longer or short by dragging an end. If the user should click anywhere on the line I need to keep track of this and place a marker or callout over this clicked spot on the line at all times. So if the user clicks say 1/4, say 100 pixels from the bottom of the line) the way down from the top left of a diagonal line I need to put a marker there. Then if the user drags the line to make it twice as long I still need that marker to be in the same spot. How would I do this math wise? And no I don't want it to be a percentage of the length of the line. Meaning I always want the spot to be 100 pixels from bottom of the line. TIA, J

[flexcoders] Re: Drawing a line that follows the mouse.
Ok, so I think the issue is that the Sprite I am drawing in "canvas" is inside
its parent (vis.marks), which has another 100 sprites. Each of the 100 sprites
has a function in library I am using that says on mouseover bring the sprite to
the top of the display list. I think this is overtaking my mouse position thus
the mouse events get lost or hijacked or something.
So I tried taking canvas out of vis.marks layer and making it a child of vis
where marks is located but one level up, so on top of marks.
This still didn't fix the issue. The only to way to fix it is to put all this
on the main stage (aka Application.application). I would prefer not to put this
on the stage unless I have to. Does any one else have any suggestions?

[flexcoders] Re: 2 strange issues for begginer in action script ref
You need to import the Button so
import mx.controls.Button
But I think your main issue is that you can't create a Sprite component and put
mx components inside of it. You need to use UIComponent as your base instead
of Sprite. I believe you can go lower down the inheritance chain to FlexSprite
(don't quote me on the name I don't have my Flex posters in front of me). But
even if you use FlexSprite you have to implement a lot of Classes and write a
lot of functions (override possibly) to make FlexSprite work so its just best
to go with UIComponent.

[flexcoders] Drawing a line that follows the mouse.
Wondering if anyone sees an issue with this code/approach? I am trying to draw
a line with the mouse and have the line follow the mouse, rather than a pen
tool. This code sort of works, but if you move the mouse to fast or once in a
while the line seems to get lost or detached.
private function drawFakeLine( ) : void
{
var canvas:Sprite = new Sprite();
vis.marks.addChildAt( canvas, 0 );
vis.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, draw_line);
vis.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
stop_drawing);
var startX:Number = vis.mouseX;
var startY:Number = vis.mouseY;
canvas.graphics.moveTo(vis.mouseX, vis.mouseY);
function stop_drawing(e:MouseEvent):void {
vis.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, draw_line) };
function draw_line(e:MouseEvent):void
{
canvas.graphics.clear();
canvas.graphics.moveTo( startX, startY );
canvas.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xFF6633);
canvas.graphics.lineTo(vis.mouseX, vis.mouseY);
e.updateAfterEvent();
}
}
[flexcoders] Re: Custom PopUp not resizing.
Thanks, Alex. The issue was setting width and height so my override measure
was never getting called. And I had a couple of component referencing/bound
{this.width} and {this.height} caused some kind of infinite loop or something?
Set all to minWidth and minHeight all works now.

Is there a way to get a Sprite class to resize? I am using the com.senocular.display.TransformTool. The issue is if I have the tool on/over a ballsprite, and while on the ballsprite I change the size of the ballsprite the transform doesn't change to match the new size of the ballsprite. Or if I click a ballsprite, it should put the TransformTool on the ballsprite, which works fine. But, if I apply the TransformTool through code, fake a click, the TransformTool doesn't size correctly? I am sure this could be a bug in TransformTool, so just wondering how you resize a Sprite since their isn't an invalidDisplayObject. TIA, J
[flexcoders] localToGlobal???
So my head is spinning? I have a popup that is popped on the mainstage. I want to that popup to follow a sprite that is down in the Display list about 4 levels. So if you a user drags the sprite say left 150 pixels and down 150 the popup needs to follow it. I am trying to do popup.move (somenum, someothernum ) but it doesn't work out correctly. I can't seem to get the coord correct or on the same playing field. The popup might be instantiated at the center of the stage, which is x240 and y240 but the sprite might be at x1500 and y 1600 on its level of the displaylist. TIA, J
[flexcoders] Re: xml E4X adding a child?
This works. var groupsNode:XML = xmlData.data.(@key == "groups")[0]; groupsNode.insertChildBefore(groupsNode.group[0], ); Also WATCHOUT. For some reason putting in a break point and then trying different xml expressions in the expressions window doesn't update all the time. Once time it shows that an E4X experession doesn't work then the next time it does work (even if you didn't touch it). Its like it isn't updating

Doesn't work.

This doesn't work either?

So if I have this XML:

How do I add another group? The following doesn't work?

[flexcoders] scrollRect ???
Wondering if anyone knows how to get the difference between the scrollRect x position relative to the components edges? I am building a pancontrol, similar to the ones found Google Maps or Yahoo Maps, for quick navigation. In order to setup my pancontrol I need to find out the following given this code: I need to find the distance or gap between the vis.scrollRect x&y position relative to the vis x&y position. My application width & height are 600 x 600. Vis width and height are 3000 x 900 so they extend off screen. I am using the scrollRect to limit what is viewable. But in order build my pancontrol I need to find the diff between the X & Y of the scrollRect in relation to the X&Y of the Vis. So how far off left, right, bottom, and top of the visible area does Vis extend. I need those numbers in pixels. TIA, J

[flexcoders] Graphics Layer
Is there a way in Flex 3 or Flex 4 to draw items to a sprite graphics layer without the manual lineTo and curveTo way. I know with mxml you can do this easily with I think its SVG, but can this be done with actionscript and the graphic draw methods? Is there a way to put in the SVG coord in actionscript? I have swf icons I am embedding into my project, but would be better if I could draw them in my sprites. TIA, J
[flexcoders] Re: SystemManager????
Shouldn't systemManager send out a MouseEvent.click on everything clicked in the application? It seems as though if the item clicked is a swf or embedded icon (even if included in a sprite) they don't seem to register with the systemManager? Or the systemManager doesn't send out a MouseEvent.click.

[flexcoders] Re: Creating Resize Handles
I should have done a debug and walked in through, but my issue has to do
something with the creation of the tool and when its created in the "marks"
layer of Flare.
I had to do the following:
tool = new TransformTool();
tool.moveEnabled = false;
tool.skewEnabled = false;
tool.registrationEnabled = false;
tool.constrainScale = true;
tool.maxScaleX = 2;
tool.maxScaleY = 2;
//tool.scaleWithRegistration = scale_registration.selected;
_vis.marks.addChild(tool);
tool.x = _targ.x;
tool.y = _targ.y;
tool.target = _targ;
My issue before was I was assigning the target of the tool then doing addChild.
Which even though I had a reference to targ to pass in I guess it makes sense
that the tool needs to be added the marks layer before assigning a target so as
to understand its boundaries and what not.
So problem solved. Thanks for your help, though.

[flexcoders] SystemManager????
I am building app that is something similar to photoshop or illustrator where you have several tools to choose. I want to use a State Object pattern, where selecting a tool changes the state of the app. I then want to have the mouse throw different events depending on, which tool is selected rather than have state objects in my listeners or having conditionals or table look up in my listeners. I am using custom mouse pointers for tools so what I am wondering is, is it possible for my custom systemmanager or cursormanager to tell when a click, doubleclick, or drag happens? If so then I was thinking the systemmanager or cursormanager could know what tool is selected, thus what mode/state the app is in, and send out different events for say mouse clicks. So: fingermouse's click = open thing clicked zoommouse's click = zoom in 25% mousepointer click = select to transform pointer with a + on it = add a new thing to stage ponter with a - on it = sub a new thing from stage TIA, J

[flexcoders] x and y localToGlobal
Can anyone tell me if any of these are correct? I am using Senocular TransformTool (e.g. http://www.sephiroth.it/weblog/archives/2007/07/transformtool_modification.php) I have a Flex that has the following layers: Flex Project Layers (top to bottom): -Application --main sprite ---visualization sprite holder layer - where TARG and TOOL are located. What I need is for TOOL's X & Y to be TARG's X & Y at all times. So if I drag TARG then TOOL needs to stay with it in the same spot (And no I can't put TOOL inside TARG). So I tried the following which doesn't work: tool.x = targ.x; (in debug it shows this before assignment tool.x=289 and targ.x=0) tool.y = targ.y; (in debug it shows this before assignment tool.y=200 and targ.y=0) So, I tried each of the following (substituting in each var), but none of which works. tool.x = gtlpt.x; tool.y = gtlpt.y; var gtlpt:Point = tool.globalToLocal( new Point( targ.x, targ.y ) ); var ltgpt:Point = tool.localToGlobal( new Point( targ.x, targ.y ) ); var toolgtlpt:Point = targ.globalToLocal( new Point( tool.x, tool.y ) ); var toolltgpt:Point = targ.localToGlobal( new Point( tool.x, tool.y ) ); var mgtlpt:Point = _vis.marks.globalToLocal( new Point( tool.x, tool.y ) ); var mltgpt:Point = _vis.marks.localToGlobal( new Point( tool.x, tool.y ) ); var mmgtlpt:Point = _vis.marks.globalToLocal( new Point( targ.x, targ.y ) ); var mmltgpt:Point = _vis.marks.localToGlobal( new Point( targ.x, targ.y ) );
[flexcoders] Re: Creating Resize Handles
Robert, have you used the transformtool in a flex app before? When I try to add it via tool.target = mySprite and myOtherSprite.addChild(tool).

Anyone ever create or see a tut/example on how to create resize/skew handles on Sprites or UIComponents?

[flexcoders] File size and Embed( image.png )
Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to import png files and keep the file size down? I have an app that can have up to 1000 imported png images with alpha backgrounds in my app. These images are 1 of 40 icons we offer in our app. These images were created in illustrator (web 2.0 embossed style) and range in size from 2kb to 12kb each depending on the style. The images can be dragged around on the screen so lots of redrawing for flashplayer to do. So would it be better to save them all as art work (icons) in one big swf file and then give each symbol name and reference that way? Or is there another way that is better? TIA, J

Great a little closer. I noticed weird things were happening with "myF" and "myfile". So how do you say not this: ^medium$|^tiny$ <-- meaning if I do the following, it comes back as valid if I type in "medium" or "tiny", but I need it to come back invalid. So with the following if I type "sdkfldf" it shows as invalid as it doesn't match and if I type "tiny" is shows as valid as it matches.: I want to say
[flexcoders] Re: Regex: match a specific word.
So how do I catch the opposite of this \bBig2\b as with the following (see below) the only time I don't get a matchError is if I type in "Big2". I want the reverse. vResult = reservedNamesValidator.validate(); if (vResult.type==ValidationResultEvent.INVALID) return;
[flexcoders] Re: Regex: match a specific word.
I don't want to match just a word though. So in my app I have two standard objects that the user can use, which are named "Big" and "Small". The user can open "Big" make some changes to it then if they want to save those changes I don't want them saving it as "Big" or "Small", but they can save it as "Big2" or "new_Small". So if the user types in "Big" and tries to save it I want to catch this in validation and then use the regexvalidator to color the textinput border red. So if I just do a /Big/ or /Small/ then the user can't save it as "Big2" because the regex will see the "Big" part in "Big2" and warn them "you can't save it with this name". But "Big2" is valid not as it isn't just plain "Big" TIA,J

Anyone good at RegExpValidator's?

[flexcoders] Scale a Class file (png, gif, etc...)
I am trying to use a LinkButton in my app and assign an image to the icon variable, but I need to scale down or make sure the image isn't any larger than 15 x 15 pixels. Is there a way to scale a class file? I tried to load a png file then convert the png to Bitmap, tried BitmapData, and tried BitmapAsset and then scale the embedded image, but non of this worked. So to recap embed and image (which is 50x50 pixels) and shrink it down to (15x15 pixels) and assign it to a linkButtons icon. Anyone know of a solution?

[flexcoders] BitmapData and Matrix: teach a man to fish (aka matrix).
Apparently I don't quite get how to use a matrix yet. I thought I did.
So I have on stage of my Flex project a custom object that is 10,000 px wide by
6,000 px tall. I need to be able to print this so what I have done or tried to
do is cut up the custom object into chunks of bitmapdata 1000px by 1000px, via
a matrix object, that I then send to a pdf generator (alivepdf). All is fine,
but one minor issue that I had to hack my way around.
So as you will see in the code, I pass an displayobject and get its
measurements, which then I find out how many snapshots it will take to capture
the entire displayobject. I couldn't get this to work so what I had to do is
put in this little hack. Specifically the "+ 2.5" and the "+ 15.5" to add on
additional 2.5 pages to the height and 15.5 extra pages to width to be sure I
capture the entire displayObject passed in. If I don't then I don't end up
getting all of it, usually the lower right corner of the displayobject gets
cutoff in my bitmapdata/matrix capture function below.

[flexcoders] Cut DisplayObject into bitmapdata squares
So I am trying to cut a DisplayObject (DO) into bitmapdata chunks that are roughly 1000 by 1000 pixels. When I get the initial bounds of the DO I they are x=-396, y0, w=1110, h=1633. I think the x of -396 is throwing me off. Plus, I feel like I am fighting myself on the Matrix vs. Rectangle in the hugeBmp.draw(DO, mtrx, null, null, rec, false ); If I do this mtrx.translate( initRecX, initRecY ); all is fine it works. (the above is moving the DO to x=0 and y=0 when it grabs the bitmapdata). But I also need to scale via mtrx.scale( .5, .5), which is where things stop working. I need to slide over via translate then scale down the section of DO I am trying to grab a snapshot of. Any ideas or examples out there? J
[flexcoders] BitmapData and bytearray: find white area?
So, I have an app that creates a very large drawing of Sprites and randomly places them in a DisplayObject (mainHolder) on stage. I am trying to create a print option that will print the mainHolder by breaking it up into chunks of 1000 by 1000 pixels per page. I am able to do this and then put it into a multi-page PDF. THE PROBLEM: The issue is because the DisplayObject is larger than the area taken by Sprites I end up with blank white pages (4 extra pages of nothing). Is there a way to create a mask or something and then compare the mask to the bitmapdata underneath to see if any pixel data is any color but white? Or go over the entire page to see if any pixels are colored, pixel by pixel and if not then throw the page out? Jason
[flexcoders] Combobox emtpy inside of tabNavigator
So I have a tabNavigator with 3 tabs. I have set creationPolicy ="all" so that to the user it displays quickly. The issue that I have a combobox on tab#3 of the tabNav. and when I set creation="all" and tab#3 is selected the combobox is empty. If set the creationpolicy="auto" the data shows up in the combobox. I assume that what is happening is that tab#3 is getting created imeediately before the data arrives. FYI the data is requested the minute the entire tab is shown, which when creation is complete always shows tab #1. Thus I think the vbox and its children are getting created without the data. So I assume some how I need to invalideSize and invalidateProps on the combobox when tab#3 is clicked so it will pull in the data? TIA, J

Wondering if anyone has ever seen and example of a custom DataGrid component where you click a row in the DataGrid to edit it and instead of showing a combobox or textfield as an itemeditor you replace the entire row with a form.

[flexcoders] Modules and Memory usage.
So I have built a fairly large application that is an extreme memory usage due
to the graphics it contains (large quantity and high res).
Right now the app has a single view, but allows the user to switch between two
views. When the user switches views I wipe out the contents of the first view
(remove most of the items from memory, but a a few still hang around an wait
for the GC to remove them).
I am thinking about making the app be document based, so several views up at
the same time in a tab navigator.
My question is, if I use modules for each document view will the document views
not current displayed, not on the selected tab of a tab navigator use any
memory or any of the cpu if they are not being displayed and if nothing is
happening while they are not displayed?
Or would it be better to stick with the single document view I have now?
Also, somewhat related. I learned OOP via Adobe > Flash > Actionscript and have
recently started learning Obj-C for iPhone development. They say its best
practice to delete all your vars of object instance from within your functions
to remove them instead of letting GC remove them.
So something like this in AS3:
public function myASFunction() : void
{
private var house:Object;
private var str:String;
public var txt:TextField;
...do something with the above vars...
house = null;
str = null;
txt = null;
}
Not sure if this is the correct way to remove the vars, but the idea is clean
up after yourself in each function so the GC doesn't have to do it and then
that frees up the GC to handle the really important stuff?
TIA

[flexcoders] Text stuck on screen BUG in FP10 or IE7????
So I have an app that has upto 300 sprites on screen at once and inside each sprite is a textfield with embedded font (all Arial font). In IE7, when you move the main Sprite around the sprite/textfield text gets stuck on the screen then eventually disappears. Its like the browser isn't refreshing fast or something. The amount of time it takes for the sprite/textfields to all go away varies sometimes 5 seconds sometimes 30 seconds. Wondering if its because of the way FP10 handles text now or ??? TIA
[flexcoders] ZOOM PANEL: like google maps
Wondering if anyone knows of a tut or component or ??? that I can use to learn how to build a Zoom Panel like in google maps (see google maps lower right corner). I am assuming its would be implemented by taking a bitmap snapshot of whats on screen and then use a rectangle object in scroll rect or something? TIA
[flexcoders] Re: httpservice error #2032
Not sure what the issue is but if I try POST it always goes across as as a GET. So I went with GET and I return 'true' as render :xml and it comes back with a good result. And I stuck with the relative URL and it works like a champ now. Thanks for everyones help. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Tracy Spratt" wrote: > > I would suspect the URL as well.

[flexcoders] Re: httpservice error #2032
Not sure if it matters but my app is a rails app and I am doing a POST with the httpservice. I am not returning anything after the call would that appear as a fault to my httpservice? Should I send something back?
