[flexcoders] Re: Line Chart, I have a X value, how can I find the Y value?

[napearson99]

*wshh*

That's the sound your post just made going by my noggin :).

I was hoping there was something built into flex for this.  Does anyone have a 
simple way of figuring this out?

Thanks for responding though mike, I appreciate even if I'm not smart enough to 
understand it :).

[flexcoders] Re: Line Chart, I have a X value, how can I find the Y value?

[napearson99]

I mean, you would think you could just give the line series the X value and it 
could tell you the current Y value.  Couldn't be that simple, right?

[flexcoders] Line Chart, I have a X value, how can I find the Y value?

[napearson99]

I have a line chart with time on the bottom and a linear axis for Y.

I have the user click on the graph and I get my X value, but I have to 
calculate the Y value since the user might click anywhere on the Y axis.

Any ideas how I could do this?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Can't get FlexUnit results to show up

[napearson99]

I have a flex 4 air project and I've set up a class with a simple method, a 
test class and a test suit class.

When I try to run my test cases nothing shows up in the FlexUnit results in the 
bottom.  I can get break points to hit in my test class, so I know it's hitting.

I also have an assert statement in my class.  

I've spent about 3 hours on this googling around.  I must be missing something 
simple.

Any ideas? Thanks!

[flexcoders] Adding objects to new air windows

[napearson99]

Hi,

I'm opening a new window in air and adding a child component to it in the same 
function.  My child component is a grey overlay of the window to show that it's 
loading.

While that's loading, I make a database call.  When that data comes back I 
remove the loading overlay.

Here's my problem, I can't get it to work when I add the loading overlay at the 
same time that I open a new window.  If the window is already open, it works 
fine.  I'm guessing there's something in the way that the component is built 
but i don't know.

Does anyone have any ideas?

thanks,

Nate

I asked this question before but I thought I'd rephrase because I had zero 
responses.

I want to do what's in this video 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWa89GWG_K8&feature=channel

I want to do what he does at 5:30, which is click and drag and select an area 
on a graph.

I'm thinking I could just draw some expanding rectangle then transfer my point 
to a data point.  Not sure though.

thanks!

[flexcoders] Select Region on Line Chart

[napearson99]

I have a line chart over time.  I want to select a region and get the data 
points under it (or at least the first and last).   I don't care about 
selection in the Y axis, just the x axis.

So if click the mouse and drag it right I want to select the area between 
x.mousestart to x.mouseend.

The selectionMode is kind of what I want to implement, but I want draw for the 
whole height of the chart.  Again, I don't care about selection in the Y axis, 
just the x axis.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Plotting lots of data on a line chart

[napearson99]

I have a dataset of about 10,000 points.  I want to plot the data in a line 
chart.  I don't need every single item to be plotted, i just need to shape of 
the data show up.

I thought I'd done something like this before...but when I hooked it up earlier 
today it went really slow.

Any thoughts?

[flexcoders] Re: Hot news! Adobe Opens iPhone to Flash Developers

[napearson99]

I hope someone from adobe can chime in here. 

Here's my take.  Flex is just a framework built on AS3.  This middleware 
compiler should be able to compile Flex AS3 code into native iPhone code no 
problem.

The new framework should also help reduce the weight of your app and make it 
run faster.

This is really great news.  Our skills just got a lot more valuable today.

[flexcoders] Re: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference

[napearson99]

What if the property.someValue does not exist?  How do I check if the
reference to dataprovider[i].someValue property is null?

my dataprovider is an arraycollection and holds different objects. 
Some objects have .someValue property and some do not.  When i try to
step through it it doesn't like it when it expects a property but it
is not there.

[flexcoders] Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference

[napearson99]

I often get this error and I "usually" know why.  Does anyone know how
to check for a null reference?

i.e.

if (dataprovider[i].someValue is null){
 dothis();
}

Where dataprovider[i] does not have a someValue property.  I bet this
is pretty simple and I just don't know the syntax.  Thanks in advance!

because the code below does not get created.

Any ideas?

[flexcoders] ArrayCollection Splice?

[napearson99]

I'm porting over one of Ely's component's data provider from accepting
an Array to accept an ArrayCollection.  He uses item.splice a lot
where item is typed as an array.  

I want the same functionality in an array collection.  Item[0].splice
works, but im not sure this is the right way to do it.  Should i use
item.list.addItemAt?

Thanks!

Ely, the tiles disappear when you rearrange inside the same data

[napearson99]

I think you just forgot the images in the img folder.  I put some in
named img1.jpg, img2.jpg ect and they came up, although these pictures
are at 1900x1680 so i might want to rescale them first to make sure it
works.

Nice, use me all you like.  I enjoy it and I think I'll learn a lot.

Now I get: "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035:

the page comes up but there aren't any tiles.

[flexcoders] Re: Animated Drag Tile

[napearson99]

When I right click to view source I get the error:

Routing Error

Recognition failed for "/DragTile/DragDropViewSource/index.html"

I'm going to try to adjust your drag tile so that the images get out
of the way in a vertical sense instead of horizontal like your demo
shows.  I'm also going to put just one item per line.  This will
create a sort of drag and drop list.  Do you think this will be hard
to do?

On a personal note I love love love your site.  I work at a fortune
500 company and upper management is really excited about the flex apps
with charting that I am making.  I've only been using Flex/AS for 20
days now and I have more than one functional app pulling data from SQL
Servers.  Management wants to use Flex as an enhanced GUI for SAP. 
Your blog greatly helped me make these cool apps.  Keep those posts
coming!

SO THANKS! :) 

oh yah, they think im a genius now and I'll probably get a raise ;).

[flexcoders] Animated Drag Tile

[napearson99]

Anyone know how to make an animated drag tile component?  I saw Ely's
posting at http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/DragTile/DragDrop.html and
I love it.  It won't let me download the code though so I can't figure
out how it's done.

[flexcoders] Custom Charting Questions from Ely's Blog

[napearson99]

Dear Charting Gurus/Awesome People,

I was reading Ely's blog on easy custom charting (which i think is
great!) and read some interesting questions in his comment section.  It
turns out I have the same questions as these guys.  They haven't been
answered yet, so I thought I would post them here and see if anyone
could answer them.  Here is a link to Ely's blog post.


1) Arthur  12.26.06 / 11am
Can you suggest a good flex sample site, other than adobe, with some 
good examples, thanks

2) Michael  12.11.06 / 11am
Ely,

Where do you think would be the best place to learn more about creating
custom charts? I find a lot of your samples greatly useful, but I am
having trouble understanding how to create my own chart types. I have
recently found some code you did for a radar chart and I love it, but I
am having a hard time modifying it to do what I want it to just because
I am not very familiar with creating custom charts. Any direction would
be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all you do for the flex
community!!

3)Kazi  1.1.07 / 5pm

Hi Ely!!! Great job!!! I did like all your examples. Very very
helpful!!! I have a question, how can I have multiple y axes but one x
axis. Multiple means much more than 2, at least 30!!! This way I will be
able to stack many charts and then
will be able to compare all those with respect x axis. My last question
is if my x axis is a date/time axis then how I can mark the back ground
with multiple color. As an example suppose my x axis starts from 1/1/07
and ends at 31/12/07. From 1/1/07 to 3/31/07 back ground will be blue
and from 4/1/07 to 9/30/07 will be green and 10/1/07 to 12/31/07 will be
yellow This is just the back ground. How can I do that?? Thanks for
your time and all your help!! By the way "Happy New Year" and
hope to see some more excellent examples from you in coming days.

(I'm assuming that Kazi is using a bar chart.  I don't even know how to
get dates in on the x linear series!  I was just going to convert he
dates to numbers...any help would be appreciated.)

4)Joe  1.31.07 / 11am
Hi,

Love your work on the charting components and the useful tips on this
site. I'm very interested at the moment in being able to highlight a
particular bar on a column chart after it is clicked (to show the
currently "selected" chart item). I will try to use this library
to achieve that effect, since it seems to be the easiest way at the
moment to do this. There was some info on the Flex charting helpfile on
how to overlay a colored rectangle on a chart, but it didn't seem
like it would work properly when the browser is resized without a lot
more work on the coordinates handling.

[flexcoders] Re: Gantt Chart

[napearson99]

Hey Clint, im having problems with the scheduler.  After reading up on
it some it seems that it can't handle large dates spans.  For example
I can't have an entry with a year between the start and end date.  I
guess this is because they used int where they should of used Number.  

Have you encountered this?  I'm thinking i might just do a find and
replace all through all the files

Im very desperate.

[flexcoders] Re: Gantt Chart

[napearson99]

Nice Doug.  What about dates?  In theory how would that part hook up?
 I would argue that a time line of dates might be the most important part.

I like what you did a lot.  If we could combine what you did with the
sliders with how the scheduler works I think we would have a really
useful Gantt chart.  I'm going to try it out.  I'm only on day 11 of
my Flex career though ;).  

If we do start building a Gantt chart as a community is there a place
where we can post and share code/examples?  Should I just post links
to this mailing list?  When we make something cool should we just send
it to Doug to put on his blog? ;)  I'm really a .NET developer and we
would use Codeplex if we wanted to do a project like this.  I was
wondering if flex had anything like that.

I'm going to start a feature list.  Please adjust/add/subtract to it
depending on what you want/need in a Gantt chart.

Features wish list:
  Bar chart type representation
  Time line of dates at the top and/or bottom
  Have a mechanism to adjust the length and position of the bar (like
Doug's example)
  Zoom feature to look at the dates by hour/day/month/quarter/year
(like the scheduler does)

Please add to this list! :)

[flexcoders] Re: Gantt Chart

[napearson99]

Clint, you're a genius.  I just downloaded the sample pack and tried
it out.  Functionally it looks like it could work!  I haven't look at
the code yet and I'm going home for the night.

Does anyone have any experience with the scheduler?  The executives at
my company are going to use this tool and I'm kind of scared to use an
.01 alpha version.  If anyone wants to dredge through it with me and
exchange code that would be great!

Thanks for the suggestion Clint.

Hmmm..so i guess that only got me 10% of the way there.

Is there a way to put dates on the linear access?  I also want custom
labels for those dates.  I.E.  10/1/2007 would equal Q1 2008.  

I also want the axis labels to appear at the top and bottom.

Doug - I'm interested in those click and drag style bars that Ely
described how to do.  I will build those with you if your interested.
