[flexcoders] Re: BETA 2: How to validate a form before actually submitting
Hi Oriol,
This *sounds* a lot better though I am getting these errors at
compile time.
1::Implicit coercion of a value of type 'String' to an unrelated
type 'mx.events:ValidationResultEvent (this error appears twice)
2::Comparison between a value with static
type 'mx.validators:StringValidator' and a possibly unrelated
type 'String' (this error appears twice)
3::Access of undefined property 'alert'
I'm not such of an actionscript guy, but I'll get there sooner or
later. Thanks again.

Hi Alexander,
Thanks to your observation I've came to a better solution:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.events.ValidationResultEvent;
private function checkValidators() : Boolean
{
stringvalidation = stringvalidator.validate().type;
stringvalidation2 = stringvalidator2.validate().type;
if ( (stringvalidator == ValidationResultEvent.VALID)
(stringvalidator2
== ValidationResultEvent.VALID) ) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
private function sendForm() : void
{
if(checkValidators()) {
//do whatever you have to do to send the form
} else {
alert.show(Form is not valid!,Alert);
}
}
private var stringvalidation : ValidationResultEvent;
private var stringvalidation2 : ValidationResultEvent;
]]
/mx:Script
mx:StringValidator id=stringvalidator source={inputText}
property=text minLength=3 maxLength=20
trigger={inputText} triggerEvent=change/
mx:StringValidator id=stringvalidator2 source={inputText}
property=text minLength=3 maxLength=20
trigger={inputText2} triggerEvent=change/
mx:Form
mx:FormItem label=Input some text required=true
direction=horizontal
fontWeight=bold textAlign=left
mx:TextInput id=inputText width=80 maxChars=20/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Input some other text required=true
direction=horizontal fontWeight=bold textAlign=left
mx:TextInput id=inputText2 width=80 maxChars=20/
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Form
mx:Button id=fromButton label=Send form click=sendForm()/
Some explanation and changes:
- Removed the valid/invalid properties of the validators.
- Added an id for each one.
- Instead of doing this: if ( (stringvalidator.validate ().type==
ValidationResultEvent.VALID) (stringvalidator2.validate().type==
ValidationResultEvent.VALID) ) which is also correct, I think it's
better to
do it with the variables, and then evaluating them, because you
validate all
the fields (and the tooltip errors are shown, like you wanted
Alexander),
the other way if the first fails the other fields won't be
validated.
Hope this helps,
Oriol

While this does the trick, what if I have 3 inputs? While one
passes the
validation the sendForm() will be executed while the other 2
inputs are
still unvalidated? I want to make sure all of them are validated
before
executing sendForm().
BTW, cool about the on change validation. One thing though... is
there a
way to make the error tooltip show up programatically instead of
having to
hover over my mouse pointer?
Thanks,

Hi,
What I do to validate a form, is somethig like this:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function handleValid(eventObj:ValidationResultEvent) :
void
{
if(eventObj.type==ValidationResultEvent.VALID ) {
formValid = true;
} else {
formValid = false;
}
}
private function sendForm() : void
{
if(formValid) {
//do whatever you have to do to send the form
} else {
alert.show(Form is not valid!,Alert);
}
}
private var formValid : Boolean = false;
]]
/mx:Script
mx:StringValidator source={inputText} property=text
minLength=3
maxLength=20
trigger={inputText} triggerEvent=change valid=handleValid
(event)
invalid=handleValid(event)/
mx:Form
mx:FormItem label=Input some text required=true
direction=horizontal fontWeight=bold textAlign=left
mx:TextInput id=inputText width=80 maxChars=20/
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Form
mx:Button id=fromButton label=Send form click=sendForm()/
When the user inputs some text in the textinput the validation
occurs
automatically ( trigger={inputText} triggerEvent=change) and
the
function handleValid is called. Then, when clicking the button
if the
variable formValid it's true we can send the form.
By the way, I have a question, what is the meaning of the models
with flex
2 and forms? Because they're declared in the examples but the
validators
don't use them.
Hope this helps,
Oriol

you can put the data be validated in a
model.like this:
mx:Model id=order
email{ email.text }

[flexcoders] BETA 2: Tough one... LOADER
Hi all, Situation: Assuming we have a TitleWindow which contains a TabNavigator with 5 tabs. Each tab is a custom canvas component ie: myComp:MyProfile (file is MyProfile.mxml). I do not want to load all 5 custom components when opening the TitleWindow. Instead I want to put a loader while changing tabs until the new tab (custom component) fully loads. Even as a nice effect, I would like to have the loader before loading the contentent.

The problem with Flex pricing isn't the price itself. The problem is it's model. Most development I have seen is only using Flex as a compiler, not a service. Most applications would actually perform better if developers simply compiled locally using mxmlc and then used non-Flex technologies like Remoting or openAMF on their production servers. More developers, able to develop in this architecture, need to bring this up with Macromedia. Macromedia needs to understand that we are willing to pay them for the CPUs that we compile on, but it is just ridiculous to expect us to pay for the servers serving those static swf files. Flash is a client-side technology. It has nothing to do with servers and therefore CPU pricing makes no sense. What if I were to build a desktop application compiled using Flex? Is Macromedia telling me that I need to pay for each one of my user's CPUs? I am holding my breath hoping that Zorn fixes this problem.
