Re: [flexcoders] Charting Wildly Varying Numbers in Flex
I find that charts aren't always the best way to express information. Why not provide a table with property values, at risk values, and percentage of property values at risk instead? Great site, btw. On 5/14/07, charlie.szymanski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have an interesting issue with a mini charting application I am trying to create.

The problem is that the numbers are exceptionally varying in range. If you look at the bars on that Flex Chart you'll notice we are using the Logarithmic scale . The reason we had to do this is that the all data (or even the data within the different categories if the 'all' data is removed) is usually hugely different in value. This difference is exasperated by differences in property types. What happens is you end up with a chart where the bars are barely visible for a number of the property types (which are even less visible if the chart is not scaled logarithmically for the all category). If you mouse over the current chart values, you'll get the actual dollar value of each bar. It's easy to see (especially in the Residential type) just how misleading the chart could be. They look almost the same, but the blue bar is actually 5x greater than the red one. Has anyone run into this issue before and do you all have any good ideas of how to get around it? Right now I'm not really even looking for code, but more of any creative solutions to displaying that information in a way that isn't misleading (which the current scale may be -- you have to remember how many old people live in Florida).

Re: [flexcoders] Flex - ColdFusion data types
On 1/23/07, Steve Milburn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In short, the article states You cannot pass ColdFusion variables to Flex applications directly. You must encode them in XML first. Anyway, I am working with Remote Object (as you suggested), and I am having no problems doing what I need to do. I just thought it was odd that I came across 2 conflicting articles like that, and thought I was missing something. I believe that the confusion is resulting from the fact that the articles do not so much conflict as describe different approaches to getting data from ColdFusion to Flex. The reason that the article you mention talks about [encoding the variables] in XML first is that the data from ColdFusion is in this case being returned through the equivalent of a screen scrape (go to the web page x and put the displayed page into variable y). The easiest way to handle data so retrieved is to have page x simply be a page which displays XML. The ColdFusion variables in this case must be included in the XML displayed because, as with your web browser, no internal CF variable structure is returned when a page is displayed. In this case there is no ColdFusion-Flex connection, Flex is simply loading a web page which happens to be created through ColdFusion. Using remoting, on the other hand does allow ColdFusion and Flex to be truly connected and aware of each other. The remoting gateway provides a Flex-aware connection for accessing data through ColdFusion which allows for the conversion between types and a rich interaction not allowed by the HTTPService access style.

Example: Catalog.cfc has an attribute products of type Product.cfc array. cfproperty name=Products type=Product[]/ Catalog.as has an ArrayCollection of Product objects, i.e., public var Products:ArrayCollection. I'm confused about the syntax of the cfproperty tag you used above. I may be wrong, but my understanding is that you would specify that Products is an array like this: cfproperty name=Products type=array. IIRC CF isn't concerned about the type of an array's content. I would also echo João's advice to define Products as an Array in your AS class.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: 64-bit Integers
On 1/9/07, michael_ramirez44 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The 64-bit integer limitation is an Actionscript 3 limit not Flex. The Number data type uses the 64-bit double-precision format as specified by the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE-754). This standard dictates how floating point numbers are stored using the 64 available bits. One bit is used to designate whether the number is positive or negative. Eleven bits are used for the exponent, which is stored as base 2. The remaining 52 bits are used to store the significand (also called the mantissa), which is the number that is raised to the power indicated by the exponent. Michael, Thank you for providing that section of the manual for me to read. Although I had not read it before, I was familiar with the allocation of bits in the Number data type. My concern is that, in effect, what the Number data type provides for integers is a assurance of precision only up to the 52 bits provided for the significand (with a 53rd holding the sign).. As the manual states: When you store integer values with the Number data type, only the 52 bits of the significand are used. The Number data type uses these 52 bits and a special hidden bit to represent integers from -9,007,199,254,740,992 (-253) to 9,007,199,254,740,992 (253). Unfortunately, that leaves me a few bits short. It may be that internally AS handles these values in a way which renders my concern unnecessary, but I though I would ask.

Eternal gratitude is too good to pass up :) Please note that it's been 6 years since I did any EDI work, so company names may have changed, etc. Some suggestions: 1) See if Wal-Mart offers any kind of training for vendors on EDI. Sometimes the larger operations have vendor eduction programs available. 2) Get a good begginner's book for an EDI overview. I used Electronic commerce with EDI by Robert Sullivan, but I have no idea if the book is still in print (got it 7-8 years ago). 3) Chances are WM only requires you to use one EDI standard, (ASC) X12. You probably don't have to worry about others like UN/EDIFACT - Other places, or EIAJ - Japan unless you want to make a complete solution. 4) I don't know what your volume is like, so I'm not sure about which tools you might want. My experience was in a high-volume environment ($billions, 1000's of partners) and we had a set of customized and off-the-shelf solutions. I'm not familiar with Wal-Mart's setup, but I would expect that you will have to sign up with a VAN (Value Added Network) which essentially gives you mailbox-style connectivity with other VAN users. GXS is the one that comes to mind first, although I know we used another as well. WM may have a VAN you are required to join up with. Direct transmission of EDI data is also possible, so check with WM to be sure. You may also need/want to look into some mapping software, depending on your volume, source data formats, and desire to process incoming EDI data into another format. Mapping products basically provide format translation of data to/from EDI formats. I know that we used a couple, AI (Application Integrator) from GXS and a product called EDITRAN (which I would bet no longer sells). Hope that a little of this rambling helps.

Although we don't use much in the way of URL query variables, we do have a great deal of information (about users, what they're doing, portal features, etc.) that we keep in ColdFusion session, client, and application-scoped variables. It made sense to me to move the default Flex HTML template into a ColdFusion template and to modify it so that I can dynamically pass in a variety of information from the portal to the Flex applcation. Creating dynamic FlashVars seemed the easiest way to do this. You could easily pull in URL or Form variables the same way. I would assume it's just as easy to do this useing ASP or PHP to produce the dynamic FlashVars list.

I also have logic that uses request-scoped variables to determin which swf to load. I haven't finished this process yet, thus the lack of CF code. I'm setting many of the values manually in the template until I have time to autmoate more of the process.
