[flexcoders] Re: Problems With my XML Created Array Collection

[valdhor]

I am a little late to this party but I would have to recommend using AMF to 
pass your data back and forth. this allows you to pass objects and arrays of 
objects both ways. No need to convert objects to XML and back to objects - they 
are all just objects.

When the data comes in you can use ArrayUtil.toArray on the result and create 
an ArrayCollection from this array. An empty result will have created a zero 
length array and you can trap on that.

I use WebORB for PHP (Community Edition which is free) as the PHP middleware 
and have never had a problem. I have posted many examples on this forum of how 
to pass data back and forth. If you need any further help, I am but a post away 
;-}

I started out in my Flex learning going the XML route but soon got very 
confused, especially with trying to send arrays of data TO the server. As soon 
as I figured out how to do it with AMF I converted everything and now will not 
go back.

Take a look at SuperTabNavigator which is part of FlexLib 
(http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/). From your description, it looks like it 
would do the trick.

You could try using your back end server to create the PDF. I have had 
excellent results with TCPDF 
(http://www.tecnick.com/public/code/cp_dpage.php?aiocp_dp=tcpdf) on my PHP 
server. One caveat - my server has 16 dual core processors and 32GB of RAM. 
YMMV.

First off, I would not use AMFPHP as it is deprecated in favor of ZendAMF (Part 
of Zend Framework). I found WebORB much easier to integrate than ZendAMF.

With WebORB you use Object Oriented PHP. You create data transfer classes in 
both Flex and PHP and map them to each other. then you use class hinting in PHP 
to receive data from Flex.

You can definitely send the arraycollection to PHP. It will arrive as an array 
of objects.

One thing I think you should look into is SharedObjects in Flex. This allows 
you to save data to the local machine (Kind of like cookies but you have 100K 
of space you can use) and is very useful to hold these kinds of preferences.

I have never tried to do anything like this but just thinking off the top of my 
head...

Try skinning components in Flex. 
http://www.davidflatley.com/2007/12/17/programmatic-button-skins-in-flex-3/ may 
be a good starting point.

Look at using DeGrafa (http://www.degrafa.org) and/or ScaleNine 
(http://www.scalenine.com) to skin components. 

Have multiple sizes of graphics available and check the width of the screen and 
the number of icons and pick an appropriate size to show.

 I also want them to have a glow effect as you can see there. In that last

Maybe a combination of Server based and locally saved preferences?

This is what I do. The user can set his/her own display preferences which are 
saved in SharedObjects and the data is retrieved from the server.

[flexcoders] Re: What is the Correct Type of Component For This?

[valdhor]

A...Why do you say repeater items can't be selected?

I built a custom component that responds to a mouse click and then repeat this 
component multiple times using a repeater from data that is returned from my 
server (Essentially this is a list of regions containing customers. Each user 
is only authorized to see specific regions/customers so the number of custom 
components repeated is set from this data).

The custom component is fully self contained and responds to mouse clicks. If 
the underlying application needs to know about the clicks, I dispatch a 
bubbling event which the app listens for.

So, in your case create a custom component with your different skins 
(greyscal/colored). The component should contain multiple sizes of images as 
well as a public var to set the size. The app should know the stage size as 
well as the number of items to display (From the server call). In your 
repeater, set the public var to the size you need. Each custom component can 
have its own overskin etc and respond appropriately as well as its own event 
listener for mouse clicks.

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, James garymoorcroft_...@... wrote:

 I originally considered using a repeater inside a h box to repeat all of the 
 items but the problem is a repeater doesn't allow items to be selected 
 otherwise it would be perfect. You see I have a filter function that has been 
 applied to my links based on what category item is selected.
 
 Overall what it needs to do is this:-
 
 - Have no blue theme boxes
 - Autoresize based on how many items are in it
 - On application complete all of the images in it are converted to greyscale 
 (as shown in my pic)
 - The text and image of each item in it must glow and convert to colour as 
 they are hovered over and convert back to greyscale and unglow as they are 
 unhoevered over (again this can be seen in my app)
 
 All of the above effects are simple with static components but they are 
 pretty much impossible to apply to a component that has the selcteditem/index 
 properties i.e. is populated via a dataprovider.
 
 I wish the repeater component had a selected item property as I think that'd 
 work.

I also looked at TourDeFlex to get some ideas.

Here is a small example that I created that shows how to create a custom
component as well as do the Glow effect on an image. (I got the image
from downloading the file inside TourDeFlex under Glow):

Application:

 {text: Second, image: helmet},
 {text: Third, image: helmet},

 {text: Fifth, image: helmet}
 ];
 ]]
 /mx:Script
 mx:HBox
 mx:Repeater id=myImages dataProvider={dp}
 components:MyImageComponent
theItem={myImages.currentItem}/
 /mx:Repeater
 /mx:HBox
/mx:Application

MyImageComponent.mxml
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:VBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
horizontalAlign=center width=200 height=200
 creationComplete=onCreationComplete()

 ![CDATA[
 public var theItem:Object;
 [Bindable] private var imageLocation:String;

 private function onCreationComplete():void
 {
 thisText.text = theItem.text;
 thisImage.source = images/ + theItem.image + .png;
 }
 ]]
 /mx:Script
 mx:Image id=thisImage rollOverEffect={glowImage}
rollOutEffect={unglowImage}
 autoLoad=true/
 mx:Text id=thisText fontSize=24/
 mx:Glow id=glowImage duration=1000 alphaFrom=1.0
alphaTo=0.3 blurXFrom=0.0
 blurXTo=50.0 blurYFrom=0.0 blurYTo=50.0 color=0x22A050/
 mx:Glow id=unglowImage duration=1000 alphaFrom=0.3
alphaTo=1.0 blurXFrom=50.0
 blurXTo=0.0 blurYFrom=50.0 blurYTo=0.0 color=0x3380DD/
/mx:VBox


BTW. I only found one png image so I used it repeatedly. Also, I have
only one size. You should make multiple sizes and place them in the
images folder. You should also set the width and height inside the
custom component depending on the size you want (I have them hard coded
in my example). Then you would pass a size to the custom component by
exposing a public variable and use a switch statement to select the
correct size.

 I don't really have any simple examples.

 I did look at the documentation for the Button Class (http://livedocs.
adobe.com/ flex/3/langref/ flash/display/ InteractiveObjec t.html#event:
click) and noted the bubbles property is set to true so the button click
should bubble up to your parent component.

 So, add an event listener in the parent component to catch the event.
If you have multiple buttons, you will have to check the event.target
property to find out which button dispatched the event (hint: Add a
breakpoint in your handler and check the event.target and
event.currenttarget properties).

  Make sure the event is set to bubble. Once it has, the event should
bubble up the chain to the parent where an event listener should catch
it.

[flexcoders] Re: MXML Component Call Event in Parent

[valdhor]

By doing it with the click event on the child you are tight coupling the child 
to the parent.

By using the bubbling event you are loose coupling and free to use the 
component anywhere.

If you are comfortable with tight coupling, by all means use it. My own 
preference is to use loose coupling and respond to events as and when I need 
to. Sometimes it is useful to have multiple parent components in the chain 
respond to an event at different levels. I stop the propagation once the final 
component has handled the event.

 No. That's not how the system works, it outputs direct to ARM machine code.

 Hello there.
 
 I'm experiencing a bug with non-IE browsers (firefox, opera, chrome,

 Quick version: here is the example showing the problem
 http://devenirlibre.com/fullscreen/FS.html
 http://devenirlibre.com/fullscreen/FS.html  
 
 More detail:
 I have a fullscreen button. It's state is linked to the DisplayState

 I made a example to show you the problem. It's based on a flex example
 source :
 http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/07/creating-full-screen-flex-applic\

 I just changed moved the button to the top of the Application, give it
 an id (button) plus the following:
 
 private function fullScreenHandler(evt:FullScreenEvent):void {
 dispState = Application.application.stage.displayState +  (fullScreen=
 + evt.fullScreen.toString() + );
 if (evt.fullScreen) {
 /* Do something specific here if we switched to full screen mode. */

 + evt.fullScreen.toString() + );
 if (evt.fullScreen) {
 button.selected = true;
 } else {
 button.selected = false;

 To see the bug, make sure that the place where the button is when
 fullscreen is outside the browser content window when normal. I hope it
 make sense.

 having them browse for it. So basically I need it set up so that when the 
 user clicks a button whatever name they type into the imagenameentry.text 
 will be the image that gets uploaded. For example they create an image which 
 they name yahooimage by typing yahooimage into the imagenameentry text input 
 component. Once a button is clicked this will save this image as 
 assets/images/yahooimage.jpg but I want to advance this button click further 
 so that this specific jpg is then set as the file for upload without browsing 
 for it. All the examples I've seen use the browse function though which is 
 not what I want.
 
  
 How can this be combined with the filereference method or some other way so 
 that the file to be uploaded can be entered into a textinput component as

[flexcoders] Re: Adding Drag/Drop with selected text within a TextArea

[valdhor]

I don't think you need to extend any classes.

You already know what the text is in the Text Input and you already know the 
text that the user is dragging so all you need to know is where the user has 
the mouse at the current moment and where they release the mouse button. The 
first is so you can place a vertical bar inside the text to show where the drop 
should happen. The second is where they let go of the mouse and the insert 
should happen. 
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=containers_intro_5.html 
should give you an idea of how to get the mouse position. Then all you need to 
do is grab both pieces of text, merge them at the mouse position and put the 
result back in the text input.

 not stopping the blinking I insertion thing from making Flex think it's

 My latest issue is that I'm trying to figure out how to allow the user to 
 insert the text at the exact drop point of the mouse cursor (previously I was 
 just replacing what was in there with the selected text).  Will I have to

[flexcoders] Re: Dataprovider and events

[valdhor]

How does the combobox get its data? If it is using remoting, you can wait for 
the resultevent to fire and then populate the listbox.

Also, you could populate the dataprovider with dummy blank data so it's not 
null and then update it when the data arrives.

 for the listbox is null and it throws an error: #1009: Cannot access a

[flexcoders] Re: Between the client and server....

[valdhor]

I think I would start out with WebORB for PHP and use their polling. This uses 
AMF to exchange binary data. Definitely stay away from XML - it's very portable

If the thing becomes wildly successful then I'd seriously look at data push

It may be a bug (Or a feature) in the SDK. I seem to recall Alex responding 
about when a pop-up closes, focus returns to the control that opened the pop-up.

You may like to search the archives.

One other thing to try would be adding an event listener for when the pop-up 
closes that prevents a new pop-up being opened until new text is placed in the 
text input.

 right; focus keeps going back to the first TextInput when the pop-up window 
 closes.
 
 Now, if I click somewhere else on the screen -- in other words, I don't click 
 or tab into the next TextInput -- the window pops up just the one time...  I 
 do not have any FocusIn or FocusOut parameters set in that second TextInput, 
 so I don't know why clicking or tabbing into that second TextInput would 
 cause the problem...
 
 Anything else I should try?  This is just ridiculous -- it *should* work, but

Not to sound facetious but the OP asked the question after I gave my

Anyway, my personal cost/benefit analysis on all the frameworks persuaded me to 
just not use any of them. The time to learn them outweighed any benefit I could 
foresee. We on-boarded a new developer that learned both Flex and our code

Arrays don't have event dispatchers so when you change the array no event is 
dispatched to let the bound variable know about it.

Change your array to an array collection...

userlist = new ArrayCollection(ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result));

 I searched the forum and Google unsuccessfully to see if someone else 
 reported this problem and I came up empty. A while back I posted about 
 questions with AsyncTokens and it was suggested I update my SDK within Flex, 
 I updated to 3.5 from the default Flex SDK version. Since that time, I've had 
 random issues with any app I've rebuilt/updated and pushed out with this new 
 SDK. 
 
 The problem is simple, I have a bindable variable defined as an Array, with 
 data being pushed into it:
 
 userlist = ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
 
 Within the MXML, the definition is pretty straight forward as well:
 
 mx:ComboBox id=userbox dataProvider={userlist} labelField=username 
 prompt= - Select User -  x=10 y=40/
 
 The problem is, the combobox is never updated with the data. I can throw in 
 debug or trace userlist, and the data is there. This isn't a problem if I 
 compile the application with the older version of the SDK. My only 
 workaround, that I've found, is to set the dataProvider directly, instead of 
 populating the bindable variable:
 
 userbox.dataProvider = ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
 
 Has anyone else seen this? Was I just doing it the wrong way the first 
 time, and it just happened to work?
 
 Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Re: FileReference.load() not found -- help please?

I get...

It looks like you are not calling the save method but are accessing save as a

this method. Also, is the data parameter non null?

You can get an XML feed at whatever frequency you desire.

Also, a lot of countries produce their own conversion tables on their

If you are using the one from http://hasseg.org/blog/?p=113, you can check if

 restore=fnHndlerForRestore
 
 My question is how can we determine whether its an minimize or restore

 In the case of datagrid we can specify addEventListener as 
 dg.addEventListener(DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGIN, checkFieldCanBeEdited);
 
 So in the ITEM_EDIT_BEGIN, it will call the function checkFieldCanBeEdited.
 
 How we can add minimize and restore events of CollapsiblePanel   like the

Before you go and buy a book, I recommend doing the Flex in a Week video

great start to learning Flex.

After that, all you should need is the Flex Documentation and, perhaps, a good 
ActionScript 3 reference. I frequently use Google and search for Flex 3.5 
Class-I-Want-To-Know-About. The Adobe help document is almost always the first

[flexcoders] Re: Reuse a LabelFunction

You could write the Item Renderer as an MXML component or an
ActionScript class.

I have created a sample of both types that do the same thing. Sometimes
it easier to do it in MXML; Sometimes AS is the best way. With this
trivial example, both are about the same. Pick whichever way you like
the best.

DateRendererAS.as
package ItemRenderers
{
 import mx.controls.*;
 import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
 import mx.formatters.DateFormatter;

 public class DateRendererAS extends Label
 {
 private var myDateFormatter:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();

 public function DateRendererAS()
 {
 super();
 myDateFormatter.formatString = DD/MMM/;
 }

 override public function set data(value:Object):void
 {
 if(value != null)
 {
 super.data = value;
 text =
myDateFormatter.format(value[DataGridListData(listData).dataField]);
 }
 }
 }
}

DateRendererMXML.mxml
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Label xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
 mx:Script
 ![CDATA[
 import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;

 override public function set data(value:Object):void
 {
 if(value != null)

 text =
myDateFormatter.format(value[DataGridListData(listData).dataField]);
 }
 }
 ]]
 /mx:Script
 mx:DateFormatter id=myDateFormatter formatString=DD/MMM//
/mx:Label


And here is an application to try them out with (Change the itemRenderer
to DateRendererAS to try the AS version)
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

[flexcoders] Re: Remove item from Array and loop messes up

[valdhor]

While that may work, I have found that anytime you are looping over an array 
like this, modifying/deleting items in the array while iterating over it is 
problematic at best.

I find the best way is to create a new array that holds the id's of the items 
you want to delete and iterating over this new array and deleting specific 
items in the original array is best.

  Hi - 
  
  I remove an item in an array using splice() and when there's one object

  another loop but I thought it should iterate over everything first before 
  it goes back to the outside loop. Here's my code:
  
  for( var i:int=0; idpLength; i++ ){
  var group:Object = model.groupingColl[i];
  var children:Array = group.children as Array;
  
  /* if there are 2 items in 'children', the

[flexcoders] Re: Automatically update ValueObjects...

[valdhor]

What I generally do is not use a Working Folder on the server. I use the 
Live folder for everything.

Is there any specific reason you need a Working Folder? If this is new code, 
don't you need new ValueObjects? If this is existing code and you need to add 
new properties to a ValueObject, (I don't know if ColdFusion does, but PHP 
does) you can subclass the existing ValueObject and add properties to the new 
class. Either way, there is a new ValueObject class that will not affect 
existing code.

 I have several ValueObjects in my app... When I work with them in my test
 website, everything's fine. But when I want to export a release build, the
 ValueObjects no longer work because the folder-name is different...
 
 All my VO's have the following type of declaration at the top:
 [RemoteClass(alias=MyWorkingFolder.cfcs.vo.MyValueObjectVO)]
 
 And on the ColdFusion9 side it's:
 cfcomponent output=false alias=MyWorkingFolder.cfcs.vo.MyValueObjectVO
 
 Thus, when I export the release-build from MyWorkingFolder to MyLiveFolder
 (for example) all of the VOs stop working -- they're still looking for
 MyWorkingFolder.
 
 How do I get FlexBuilder to change the names inside the VOs automatically to
 match the release-build destination? So far, I've been doing it manually,
 but what a pain that is -- my patience is wearing thin, having to manually
 update a bunch of damn VOs, then change them back, every time I want to
 export a release build... There has to be a better way that I'm just not
 aware of...

Yes, this requires a class. Try creating variables to hold your icons and then

[flexcoders] Re: Send a fax

[valdhor]

It depends.

If you are using AIR, you could use Merapi to connect with a Java application 
to send the fax.

If you are using a browser, you would have to send the data to a back end 
server which could send the fax. For example, using PHP, you could create a PDF 
with TCPDF (http://www.tecnick.com/public/code/cp_dpage.php?aiocp_dp=tcpdf) and 
then use a service like InterFax (http://www.interfax.net/en/dev/php) to send 
the fax.

Have you installed the Flash Debug Player? Did you run your application from

That is what is meant by a debug build.

CreationComplete will only fire once (When the component is first created).

[flexcoders] Re: range of values checked in a case (switch)

[valdhor]

Yes. You need to change the expression you are switching on...

switch(true)
{
 case age = 0  age = 4:
 ageGroup = 1;
 break;
}

The reason for this: Your case expression returns a true or false value.
This does not match the expression in the switch so change the
expression in the switch to reflect what will be returned in the case
expression.

person

 If I have more than one person/person pair in my XML file, then they get 
 returned as an ArrayCollection in event.result.people.person.  But with only 
 one person/person pair in my XML file, event.result.people.person is an 
 ObjectProxy -- which can't be converted to an ArrayCollection, apparently.
 
 If event.result.people had a length property, I could just loop over it for

 but I see no length property on the event.result...  So how do I get this to 
 work?  I won't know in advance how many person/person pairs are in the

 could be 100...
 
 Is there a way to programmatically tell whether or not

Just build different SWFs with the classes you need and use Loader to

Hi,
   
I was looking into flex's modular approach where you create one main
project and then say 5 smaller modules(projects) on which different
  people
work on different things. But when the main project is compiled all
  smaller
modules are compiled with it. Similarly, one module can use the class
  of
another module.
   
I found the adobe documentation for such a approach in flex. But I
  need
the same approach to work for AS3 , I'm using FlexBuilder.
   
Any Ideas?
   
Fahim.

[flexcoders] Re: Dumb Question - Transition after a module has loaded

[valdhor]

I don't think I would apply the effect to the module itself; I would add the 
effect to the main component that the module displays once loaded.

[flexcoders] Re: Context Menu

[valdhor]

According to the documentation at 
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=Menus_4.html - The 
primary drawback to using the context menu API is that it does not support 
submenus.

But, there are other ways to skin a cat. Check these links out...

http://code.google.com/p/custom-context-menu/
http://flexology.wordpress.com/2008/12/12/custom-right-click-contextmenu-in-flex/

I tried the code from the second link and it worked great.

 Hi FlexCoders,
 
 Has anyone implemented a right mouse click context menu which contains

 how to implement one which contains sub-menu.
 
 Any help/inputs would be appreciated. Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Logging in a Web Application

[valdhor]

In my case, I have created a logging class in Flex that sends the log data to a 
back end PHP server. The PHP, in turn, writes all the data to a MySQL database.

I'd post the code but I'm afraid I cannot as it is proprietory to my company. I 
will say that it is pretty trivial to do.
