[flexcoders] Best option for implementing a growl like notification system ?
Hi all, I had a question regarding an AIR utility class that I am trying to finish. The class is pretty simple, it is basically an AIR implementation of the Mac Growl UI (notification windows that pop open on the right edge of the display). Most AIR applications seem to use some implementation of the functionality so I decided to write a generic one that I could open source and let everyone use it. My question is pretty simple. Like growl, I wanted to bring out a number of rectangular notification windows that fade out after some time. There are 3 ways I can see this being accomplished: 1) Open new NativeWindow for each notification 2) Open one transparent nativeWindow add children to it calculate its size based on the number of children being added (notifications), and then place the window appropriately on the screen's edge 3) Open one transparent nativeWindow to the size of the screen (resolution), and add notifications to its right edge. Is there one implementation over another that may have better performance ? #2 seems it may since it creates one native window of the exact size it needs, but its the most work. Any thoughts ?

[flexcoders] Menu direction: layout submenus to the left instead of right ?
I have a popup button on the right extreme of an AIR application. Its menu is a 2/3 submenu level deep. So right now when I rollover a menuitem, its submenu opens on top of it since there is no flash player canvas to the right of the menu. Is there a way to get the submenus to open to the left rather than right ? thanks -- Arpit Mathur Lead Software Engineer, Comcast Interactive Media --- post your flex tips on http://flextips.corank.com
Re: [flexcoders] Performance difference between ArrayCollection.removeAll() and ArrayCollection.source = []
Hi Alex,
Thanks for responding. Should this be tracked as a bug? I think there may be
a better way of handling this:
On removeAll() you can set a flag like removeEventListenersPending = true,
copy the old elements to a temporary new array and run through the it in
smaller sized increments (removing event listeners from say 40 objects every
enterframe using something like calllater). In the meanwhile if a property
change event is fired, you can see if the flag is set and if so make sure
the item is in the current source array and not the temp array. When all
objects in the temp have had their event listeners removed, set the
removeEventListenersPending = false.
I think the current implementation may be causing a lot of performace issues
since a lot of people may be using ArrayCollections for large data sets
(thats what Flex is great for :) ) and may not know of the penalty of the
removeAll().
thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Performance difference between ArrayCollection.removeAll() and ArrayCollection.source = []
Hmm, maybe I am missing something here? The only place I see
addEventListener being called is
protected function startTrackUpdates(item:Object):void
{
if (item && (item is IEventDispatcher))
{
IEventDispatcher(item).addEventListener(
PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE,
itemUpdateHandler, false, 0, true);
}
}
which has the weak-keys boolean flag turned on. Shouldnt that allow garbage
collection to run without explicitly calling removeEventListener ?

[flexcoders] Performance difference between ArrayCollection.removeAll() and ArrayCollection.source = []
I was trying to debug an issue with the LogBook application we released a couple of days back. If you take a look at the interface on the main page at http://cimlogbook.googlecode.com (or if you have installed the application), you will see a clear logs button. Clicking on that clears an ArrayCollection that holds a series of LogObjects by calling a removeAll() function. However we got a bug saying the application would almost hang if it tried to clear a lot of messages. A quick patch was to reset the source like so: arrayCollection.source = [] . The performance became lightning fast. Looking deeper into the removeAll function and following the hierarchy to the ArrayList class, I see that the removeAll loops through the entire array, looking at each member to see if its an event dispatcher and if so calling a function to remove the propertyChange listener. Why is this implemented this way ? Is there any reason I shouldnt just use source = [] to reset the array ?

[flexcoders] how do I trigger measure (while laying out UIComponents in actionscript)
I have tried this code for way too long and am ready to throw in the towel, so I am really hoping one of you can help me: I have a custom component based on Canvas that I want to accept a series of UIComponents as children based on an array of data sent in. So here is how my code is layed out: 1) I have a set dataProvider() function that accepts an array. If the array is new, it sets it as an internal variable ( _dataprovider ) and calls invalidateProperties() 2) In my commitProperties code, I loop through the array and for each member create an instance of the UIComponent that will represent the data. I also add them as children calling addChild(). I push all instances created into another array (called markers).I then call invalidateDisplaylist() 3) In my updateDisplaylist, I check position the instances held on the markers array. Here is the clincher: I cant see the instances created since their width and height is 0. I want to set their width and height based on their measuredWidth and height. But thats 0. Tracing their initialized status returns false. How do I trigger them to call their measure() function??? PLease dont say call invalidateSize() since I have done that and it doesnt work. I tried calling validateNow() but that seems to hang my computer. help ! -- Arpit Mathur Lead Software Engineer, Comcast Interactive Media --- post your flex tips on http://flextips.corank.com

Re: [flexcoders] Memory usage by flex
without knowing what you are doing, there may not be much that anyone can point to. One thing that does that is if you have drawing routines on the graphic object in some updateDisplaylist handler. I did that on two occasions and am much more sensitive to that now than before. Are you using any dynamic drawing like lineTo, fills, etc?

[flexcoders] addChildAction and creationCompleteEffect
I am using the states and transitions for the first time and have most of it nailed down. One thing I cant get working is addChildAction. When my application reaches a state that has a new component that needs adding, I use the addChildAction tag in my transition tag, but my Fade effect set as the creationCompleteEffect is not triggered.

Re: [flexcoders] Getting two tooltips on same label ?
Set your horizontalList's toolTip property to null (or "", I forget which). Then the only tips that should be seen will be the ones you explicitly create.

[flexcoders] Recovering from videodisplay errors?
We have an online video player application that uses the VideoDisplay component and plays a series of videos one after another. The videos could be coming from diverse rtmp or progressive download servers. Every once in a while the VideoDisplay goes into a disconnected state or a ConnectionError state. The player becomes unresponsive then and clicking on the next video doesnt play the next video either.

[flexcoders] mx:List: How do you get rid of the 1 pixel gap between item renderers?
This has been asked in the group before but I havent seen an answer. Does anyone know how to get rid of the 1 pixel gap between item renderers in a list ? I think Flex is trying to ensure the highlighting (or rollover or selected) works but I dont need the highlighting since the renderer itself has a highlight look.
Re: [flexcoders] f2 b3 Sound busted ?
Is it something I am doing wrong ? The sound class completely doesnt work for me anymore. I can see the sound loading but it doesnt play. The beta 3 sound example at http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex20beta3/langref//flash/media/Sound.html is not working for me.- Original Message From: Simeon Bateman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSent: Tuesday, May 9, 2006 10:33:41 AMSubject: Re: [flexcoders] cf flex intergration Hey John,I posted on my blog about how I use ANT to compile flex 2.0 scripts for my mac.
