Comparing that to what the decompiler found for those same files might help you figure out what modifications need to go into whatever versions of the source you currently have. How do you turn on -keep-generated-actionscript using ant? I think that would help me a lot in debugging my output -- once I get it to compile, that is.
[flexcoders] Accessing an XML attribute using AS3 in Flex builder 4
Hi.
I'm having a little trouble getting the value of an attribute in an XML
string. I am trying to get the value of 'url' out of the following XML:
media:thumbnail width=66 height=49
url=http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46491000/jpg/_46491622_mcarthur_pa.jpg
/
I am using a HTTPService request to get the feed as follows:
s:HTTPService id=feedStream
url=http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/uk/rss.xml;
result=feedStream_resultHandler(event) /
I am then querying the returned XML as follows:
protected function feedStream_resultHandler(e:ResultEvent):void
{
var myX:String =
e.result.rss.channel.item[0].media_thumbna...@url;
trace(myX);
//dpac = e.result.feed.entry as ArrayCollection;
dpac = e.result.rss.channel.item as ArrayCollection;
trace(dpac[0].title); // returns the title
}
I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

Re: [flexcoders] ActionScript Project in AIR
Hi John. Im sure there are other ways of doing this but a simple solution would be to download the Flash Builder 4 beta import your project and then right click on the project in the lib and select change project to - and select desktop project. Worked for me. barry.

[flexcoders] Capturing URL Requests in AIR application (HTML/HTMLLoader/HTMLHost)
Hi, This post is quite lengthy, but I really need to explain in detail what it is I'm trying to achieve here. I am developing an AIR application that has an mx.controls.HTML component as the only child; in essence the application is a custom web browser in AIR. I have created a custom HTMLHost component that extends the flash.html.HTMLHost class per the Adobe documentation, so that my application can intercept particular JavaScript calls; i.e. (AS)createWindow() - (JS)window.open(). The main HTML component has its htmlHost property set to an instance of this CustomHTMLHost class, and every new window that is created via the createWindow() method also has its htmlHost set to an instance of the CustomHTMLHost class. In my CustomHTMLHost class, I also override the updateLocation(locationURL:String) method, enabling me to inspect the new URL that is being set on either the main HTML component, or any popup windows that are created. The web application I am loading into the main HTML component allows users to export reports in a number of formats (HTML, PDF, XLS, CSV, TXT) which can either be opened or downloaded when using a conventional browser (IE/FF/Safari). When the user exports a report, a popup window is displayed (which works fine with my application because of the overridden createWindow() method in the CutsomHTMLHost class). After the user clicks the final Export button on a PDF/HTML/TXT export, everything works fine and the report results are displayed as the AIR runtime can handle these files. However when the user exports to XLS/CSV nothing happens, which is expected because the AIR runtime does not support those file types. I intend to create a file download manager to handle this so that the user can just save the files to their local file system, and this is where I'm hitting a brick wall. I am able to capture the URL that is being requested to get these latter export types from the overridden updateLocation(locationURL:String) method in the CustomHTMLHost class, but the URL alone is not enough information for the AIR application to send to the web application that provides the report exporting functionality. I need to get access to the rest of the header information (such as POST variables, and also the cookie information) that is sent in the HTTP request when the final Export button is clicked by the user to ensure I am getting a valid response from the web application. So, to finally get to my main question... is there any way to intercept the URLRequests that are created and invoked from a HTML/HTMLHost component? What I really want to be able to do is to inspect the HTTP responses, so that I can determine content of the HTTP response i.e. Content-Disposition: filename*=Report.xls; Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=UnicodeLittle With this information I can let my AIR application display a save file dialog or something along those lines. Sorry for the long post, and any help would be appreciated as this is a critical part of my AIR application, and I REALLY need to figure this out. I understand that the approach I am proposing may not even be possible, as I have been doing a number of things to try and solve it. One of which was extending the HTMLLoader class and overriding the load(urlRequestToLoad:URLRequest) method to I could intercept all URLRequests, but I couldn't even get the HTML component that used this class as its htmlLoader property to load any HTML content.

Your app will probably perform better if you don't try to build the
whole tree at once.
But you might want to google on recursion. Essentially, the
principle is to use a function that works on an object in such a way
that if the object has children, the function will call itself again
for each child. That's not as difficult as it sounds, once you get
your head around it--you just have to trust the recursion to do its
thing and not force it. Probably someone has even posted some
recursive PHP examples.
Another way to approach it is to use the composite pattern and just
populate the first level of objects, then once each object is
instantiated it will start pulling down its own children and so on.
This is sort of how I handle it, but I didn't make it where that
always happens automatically so that if those resources are needed
for something else the process can be interrupted.
Oh, and one last thing...if your database technology isn't set in
stone, you might want to consider using SQL Server, because Shape
queries are made for this. AFAIK, other databases don't have
anything that does this quite so nicely.

Re: [flexcoders] application structure
Hi Tom. I am in exactly the same situation as yourself. I am farely new to flex and have now found myself at a stage where I want to begin developing larger apps that can scale. From the reading I have done around the topic and from what I have heard others saying then Pure MVC is a good option to take. My understanding is that Cairgorm is very flex specific where as Pure MVC is not ( please correct me if im wrong ) it woudl sound sensible to then go for the Cairgorm option. However I believe Cairgrom is much more difficult to get your head around so decided not to try and go straight for Pure MVC. Just another option for ya. Hope that helps. Barry. Jules Suggate wrote: Hi Tom, You've hit on one of the classic anti-patterns of Flex programming: Application.application.blah type stuff. While this is regrettably somewhat 'normal', that doesn't mean it's ok :) As you probably have guessed, it leads to code that is really hard to change later on as it is all tangled up with itself. The solution is to use one of the application patterns that have been studied by the GUI programming community in general (not just Flex programmers) ... such as MVC (Model-View-Controller). Martin Fowler is one of the canonical sources on this stuff: http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/uiArchs.html http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/uiArchs.html Mate, Parsley or Cairngorm are open-source Flex frameworks that implement the shell of one or more GUI patterns to save us all re-inventing the wheel. Realistically, most people learn the patterns by using one of these frameworks or their cousins (there are more, I'm just giving a few that are currently flavour of the month). Cairngorm has been getting a bad rap lately due to testability of the resulting application (or lack thereof), but it's deeply embedded in the Flash community (for better or worse). Martin Fowler et al will give you an academic understanding, introduce you to some code (Martin Fowler uses C# WinForms), explain the finer points and describe several variations that you may or may not find interesting. You've bitten off quite a large topic with that innocuous question ;-) Jules On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 23:56, tom s tcs2...@gmail.com mailto:tcs2201%40gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm writing my first flex app. So far it all works, but I'm getting to the point where I need to start structuring it, for ease of further development.

I'm not asking for *specific* structuring recomendations, as I know that would be imposisble w/o you knowing the specifics of what I'm doing.

[flexcoders] Re: ModuleLoader erratically loading modules
Can i ask if you are loading the same module into each 'stub'?
i.e. do you have a multi-purpose module that is loaded 4 times
(SubmissionModule.swf)?
I had a problem with loading a single multi-purpose module more than
once. I was dynamically loading n modules that contained a number of
hyperlinks.
The problem was that the 2nd module was being loaded before the 1st
one was ready, resulting in the 1st module being garbage collected,
and therefore never loading.
Let me know if this helps.

mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;

url
like:
mx:ModuleLoader id=module
url={'views/SubmissionModule.swf?uid='

The ready event never fires when it doesn't work.
The only thing I can think of is that it is loading all of the
Modules
at once(once the main swf has loaded) even though the views that
contain them aren;t visible. Is there some reason that shouldn't
happen or would cause a problems?
[flexcoders] Adding a non-inline creationComplete event handler
Hi, i am having serious memory leak problems whilst using modules in flex. The module-based application i am currently developing currently over time kills the browser its loaded in. Even when i attempt to load the simplest of modules (a module with a few buttons/empty datagrids) my flex app will eventually make IE/Firefox fall over after consuming about 650-700MB of RAM. I have been reading Grant Skinner's posts on memory management and weak reference techniques with regards to Flex/Flash player but i am still having big problems. I am also attempting to figure out how to add a creationComplete event handler on a module via actionscript. If i use the inline mxml approach, a strong reference will be created, and i will never be able to destroy it, resulting in the module never being removed from memory! Any advice and/or comments would be most appreciated, as i am hitting brick walls here and i need to progress with haste. Thanks, Barry
[flexcoders] Re: ModuleLoader 'SWF is not a loadable module' Error
Oh that was a great bit of help there Alex, your a star!
I tackled the issue a little differently from you Mark (and possibly a
bit too in depth when i think about it)... i'll try and explain my
situation.
In my app I have a component (navBar) containing 3 Accordions, each with
a repeater that creates one or more custom components (navBarSection)
that extend the ModuleLoader class.
The problem i believe i was having was just what you suggested Alex,
that i attempt to start loading the same module (link.swf) more than
once at the same time.
I copied my links.swf module to another folder, loaded the first
instance (from the original url) into one navBarSection component, and
loaded the second instance (from the new url) into the other
navBarSection component, and the application did not fall over once!
So to get to my solution to the problem... i added a property to my
navBarsection custom component (moduleURL:String) that i used instead of
directly setting the url property (which would immediately load the
module!).
I then added a few custom events that dispatch:
1. when the moduleURL property was set
2. when the module has finished loading (the component's ready event)
When the first event dispatches, the parent component (navBar) will:
1. add the navBarSection to an ArrayCollection
2. search for another navBarSection component in the collection (other
than the one recently added) attempting to load a module from the same
url
3. if one is not found, the recently added navBarSection will proceed
to load the requested module
When the second event dispatches, the parent component will:
1. remove the navBarSection from the collection
2. search for another navBarSection attempting to load a module from
the same url as the recently removed module
3. if one is found, the navBarSection will proceed to load the
requested module (url = moduleURL)
This may be a bit rigorous, but it guarantees that no two
navBarSection's will be loading the same module at once.
I have been giving the app a serious hammering since implementing this,
using the same links.swf module url in more than one occassion, and it
has not fallen over yet; so it seems the problem is solved.
Thanks again for your feedback guys, i was really in a bad situation
without your posts.
Good luck,
Barry

So, the classic 'mistake' was to do this:
private function loadModule(url:String):void
{
var modInfo:IModuleInfo = ModuleManager.getModule(url);
modInfo.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, readyHandler)
modInfo.load();
}
This worked in 2.0.1 because there was a memory leak. We fixed the
leak
in Flex 3 and suddenly, this scenario could cause the module to kick
itself
out. The allocation for the ready event could force a garbage
collection
and nothing has a hard reference to the ModuleInfo or the Module so
it away
it goes. The addEventListener is not a hard reference to the
ModuleInfo,
the reference goes the other direction.
The answer here is to make sure you store your modInfo references on
the
instance and not in a local variable. Similarly, if I kept only one
reference, several calls to loadModule would overwrite the last
reference
and allow it to get kicked out. If you're loading several modules,
you'll
need an array of ModuleInfos tracking each module and administrate
their
clean up.
ModuleLoader keeps hard references so it should be ok, as there
should be
one ModuleLoader per url. But again if you ask it to load more than
one
module, the previous ones may be eligible for garbage collection.
If you're using 2.0.1, calls to unload() could cause the same sort
of
situation.

[flexcoders] Re: ModuleLoader 'SWF is not a loadable module' Error
Sorry, i forgot to say i'm using flex 2.0.1.
And as for a hard reference, i am creating a number of ModuleLoader
components within a repeater, so the url of the loaded module is
dynamic in nature.
What do you mean by a GC?
The weird thing in this situation is that i have another module which
displays links and is very close in nature to the one giving me
problems, however it never produces any errors.
I use the problematic module on more than one occassion i.e. when the
app loads up, the links module is loaded twice. Its only means of
consistently is that it fails both times it loads (in a single
application instance).
I am also passing data to the module (on the moduleReady event) using
a custom Interface, i wonder if this would have any affect?
I followed the Adode dev guide on how to pass data to the module, so
im not sure this is where the problem stems from, but i thought i
would mention this.
The only other issue that comes to mind is the sequence in which the
modules are loaded, but i havent had a chance to apply the
ModuleLoader's urls manually, and i dont even think this would be the
problem, just a thought.

[flexcoders] Tactics for writing data to the DB?
Should we write a little a lot or a lot a little? The reason I ask is that in a normal html web form type of page After the user edited any fields, I would wait for the user click to submit/update before sending anything to the sever. However, taking the datagrid in Flex as an example, the user can edit the data and events are triggered thus the local dataprovider is updated automatically. I am wrestling with the problem of whether I should send the data as it is edited in the grid, or whether to use some kind of call later function to check whether the editing has been finished etc before sending the update request to the backend. It would be interesting to hear how people are dealing with taking to the database. Barry
[flexcoders] Combo as itemEditor
I am using a comboBox component as an itemEditor within a datagrid and
am dispatching an event on a change in the comboBox
dispatchEvent(new DataGridEvent(dgDataChange, true,false,col,field));
I can catch this and send it to a listener function no problem.
However, in the listener function I would like to access the selected
item of the ComboBox.
public function updateMe(event:DataGridEvent):void{
if(event.columnIndex ==0){
//Do something with the data from the comboBox
}else{
//Do Nothing
} }
Does anyone have an idea how to get that data? I see that I can
dispatch a reference to the itemRenderer
DataGridEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean
= false, columnIndex:int = -1, dataField:String = null, rowIndex:int =
-1, reason:String = null, itemRenderer:IListItemRenderer = null,
localX:Number)
But am unsure whether it is the way, or how to actually implement it.
Is it a class reference or a reference to a variable?? Hmm
Anyway, if
anyone can help me out, it might save my hair.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm -- Is this a case for a view helper?
I know view helpers are not currently recommended to use with
cairngorm, but am I going to use one here?
In one view I call this filter function whenever a textInput control
is changed.
model.companyObjectsFilter.filterFunction = doCompanyNameFilter;
model.companyObjectsFilter.refresh();}
private function doCompanyNameFilter(item:Object):Boolean{
var result:Boolean;
var companyName:String(item.CompanyName.toUpperCase());
if(companyName.indexOf(companyNameTI.text.toUpperCase()) != -1){
result = true;}
return result;}
This works great, however, say that in another view a comboBox bound
to the same arrayCollection was previously selected. Then if the
above filter does not return a true value the app crashes because the
combobox now has nothing to bind to.
Will I need to copy the arrayCollection from the model before my view
filters it? And if so is it best to use a viewHelper?
Any help much appreciated

robi, i just figured out that when you create the new project in flex builder 2.0, you need to make sure you choose the option 'Flex Data Services' when asked 'How will your Flex application access data?' in the 'Create a Flex Project' dialog.

[flexcoders] Re: FDS Messaging error
No it doesnt work in firefox either.
I guess there is some sort of configuration in the Project that
defines where the data comes from.
I found out that if you choose the option 'Flex Data
Services' when asked 'How will your Flex application access data?' in
the 'Create a Flex Project' dialog, the sample chat client is able to
talk to the messaging service 100%

Does it work in Firefox and just not in IE?
If so, we had a problem on IE making remote object calls to our
server when using https.
Adding the following:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.messaging.ChannelSet;
public var channelIDArray:Array = new Array(my-
amf, my-http, my-secure-amf,my-secure-http);
[Bindable]
public var servicesChannelSet:ChannelSet = new
ChannelSet(channelIDArray,false);
]]
/mx:Script
and setting:
channelSet={this.servicesChannelSet}
in the MX:RemoteObject tag fixed the problem.
otherwise post you configs and how you are compiling. Provided your
config is right the easiest way to get the client compiled correctly
is to have it compiled on the server where it will be served from.

[flexcoders] itemRenderer's dateField control - how to add validation+custom formatting?
hi I'm trying work out how to enhance the dateField control - when used as an itemRenderer for a dataGrid - to allow freeform entry (not using the date picker) to do two things: - format the date display from the picker (only) to DD/MM/ - if Text entry is used if (dataField.Text != ) // gets around Type Coercion failed: cannot convert to Date. if !IsDate(dateString) Alert.Show(Date Format Is Incorrect); else convert the date:String to date:Date for the control //(which is bound back to the dataGrid's data) the field can be null so any onfocus or clicking-into or clearing is perfectly OK I've had a look at the DateFormatter and DateValidator classes but can't see how to apply them to the dateField control (ie not a standard textbox, even if you do get the value with DateField(event.target).selectedDate.Text) if this means a custom control extending dateField then it will get used in many places (ie: no explicit references back to the parent) has anyone seen any working examples to get ideas from? thanx barry.b -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Centering a titleWindow when opener is DataGrid itemRenderer
Hi all I've been trying everything I can think of to get a modal titleWindow pop-up to centre on the screen: if the itemRenderer button that opens it is at the top of the browser, part of the titleWindow is out of reach, but is OK if it's opened from further down the (parent) datagrid. I'm after positioning to be exactly the center of the screen no matter which button called it. is this set by the title window's properties? or the opener (parent)? Also, I'm a bit surprised that the parent can set some styles of the titleWindow but not others, even though what I've read says it should... these work being set by the parent: helpWindow.title=Please Enter Login Information; helpWindow.setStyle(borderAlpha, 0.9); these don't // from http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2006/01/changing_the_mo.html helpWindow.setSize(320, 240); helpWindow.setActualSize(320, 480); helpWindow.setStyle(modalTransparency, 99); helpWindow.setStyle(modalTransparencyColor,0x66); any suggestions? thanx barry.b -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] sending user selections back from TitleWindow to itemRenderer (parent) - how?
I'm not sure how to do this:
I have an ItemRenderer that has a textbox and a look-up button to
open a modal TitleWindow for a full search.
This will do remote calls to get data, where the user selects what
they want (checkboxes) and the chosen loginName fields appended to
itemRenderers text box.
the thing that's doing my head in is the best way to get a reference
back to the parent to _append_ the selections
any suggestions?

Re: [flexcoders] sending user selections back from TitleWindow to itemRenderer (parent) - how?
thanx, Doug but that's the thing that's thrown me. in that example, the value is returned directly back to the parent's text box - nice and simple. but because my textbox is part of an itemRenderer, it's already bound to the dataGrid's datasource. so the itemRenderer can get data from two sources: bound to the ArrayCollection - and - from the titleWindow. The action is append. I suspect it's got to do with appending the titleWindows returrn value back to the dataGrid's dataProvider...but I'm not sure how wood for the trees stuff (and my newbie-ness) I suspect. thanx barry.b -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] RE:comboBoxes with dynamic data as datagrid itemRenderers?
thankfully, Brendan Meutzner example helps nicely

although doing something like this (closer to what I'm after)
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Type dataField=col3
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:ComboBox
dataProvider={colEvalType}/mx:ComboBox
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:DataGridColumn
I get Access of undefined property colEvalType which I think is a
scope thing since further down the mxml file it works fine
mx:ComboBox dataProvider={colEvalType} y=240/mx:ComboBox
should this work?

[flexcoders] comboBoxes with dynamic data as datagrid itemRenderers?
well, the origional post went down like a lead dirigeable I'll
back up a bit and try to explain better...
I have query data that I want to edit in a datagrid, mostly to utilise
the textbox-type features. However...
two columns are look-up data, best represented by ComboBox's. it looks
like I can use itemRenderers for the cells in these columns. What I'm
stuck on is the best way to bind the look-up data to the ComboBox's
when they're used as itemRenderers.
because I want to extend the ComboBox's anyway, I could (in theory)
have these as custom components and bind the dynamic data directly to
each within the custom control mxml - hard wired in. but If I want to
use the same control for both columns but with different data, I'm
stuck
is there any way of keeping the custom controls dumb and, from the
datagrid's level, tell the itemRenderers what look-up data model to
bind to?
something like this:
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Role
itemRenderer=custom_controls.ComboBox rendererDataProvider={colRole}/
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Type
itemRenderer=custom_controls.ComboBox rendereDataProvider={colEvalType}/
is (something like) this possible? is there a better way?
How can comboBoxes with dynamic data be integrated with DataGrids?
any suggestions most welcome.
thanx
barry.b
PS: I suspect that this is only half the battle. Getting the DataGrids
data model to store the ComboBox selection might be the other half...
datagrid's itemRenderer's dataProvider?

hi all
I've got a datagrid where I'll have columns of ComboBoxes, populated
with dynamic data (look-up tables really).
sure I can assign a DataGridColumn's itemRenderer to a custom control,
but if I want to re-use that control, how do I pass a different
dataProvider to it?
in other words:
having these controls
my:ComboBox dataProvider={colRole} y=100/my:ComboBox
my:ComboBox dataProvider={colEvalType} y=120/my:ComboBox
as itemRenderers
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Role itemRenderer=custom_controls.ComboBox/

ALSO: I'm lost as to why I need to do this:
I can define custom components with a namespace (OK so far)
mx:Application ...
xmlns:my=custom_controls.*
my:ComboBox dataProvider={colRole} y=100/my:ComboBox
but I can't use that namespace for a datagrid headerRenderer control.
- this works:
mx:DataGridColumn headerRenderer=custom_controls.NewLabel /
- this doesn't
mx:DataGridColumn headerRenderer=my.NewLabel /
can I ask why I can't use a namespace for all my custom stuff?

(... for Java) there's a long story behind this question, involving struggling to keep CF as a platform here as well as trying to raise Flex 2.0 profile. thanx barry.b -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] will Flash (stand-alone) Remoting be upgraded for Flex 2.0? (ie not FDS)
If you're using Coldfusion MX7, just run the 7.0.2 updater and it will give you remoting built in. yes Nick, I know but that's not what I'm asking. I'm specifically asking about the stand-alone remoting product that is (was?) available for Java (and .NET) and whether it will be upgraded to AMF3 (or it stays at AMF0, is depricated and eventually phased out). I didn't want to spell it out in the origional post but, unless I can align Flex 2 to the strategic plan here and can then drag CF along with it, CF here will *never* be upgraded to 7. it will remain at 6.1 at best. There's a big push up high to move us to Java/JSP development and away from CF (for lots of reasons I won't mention here). note: OpenAMF: I'm deliberatly ignoring it at the moment (for reasons). same with AMFPHP thanx barry.b -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] will Flash (stand-alone) Remoting be upgraded for Flex 2.0? (ie not FDS)
If you dont mind spending $20,000 for flex in order to do something that used to cost 1k. which is kinda my point (well, related to). it's not a big server setup we have here but it's enough to push us into the enterprise level (or so it seems). it's not for one specific app but a bunch of piddley little stand-alone ones with NOT a high traffic count. it'd be good to get some official word (or at least a bunch of ppl who are good at guessing wat Adobe would do) saying the stand-alone product was at the end of it's line. It'll make my case of keeping CF and upgrading to 7.02 even stronger (if it gets considered, that is). hang on, (I don't really care but) does this mean the .NET version is gone too? if you're running .NET you have to go thru FDS as well? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] quick clarification pls on tree control and adding nodes
(I'm still getting my head around Flex so please forgive me asking but) I've been backwards and forwards trying to work out how to add functionality to a Tree control...stuck on Flex 1.5 examples that won't work in 2.0. i just want to confirm something. The key to adding/editing/deleting nodes is the fact that the data is [Bindable] to the tree? so all I have to do is find and load the node data into editing controls and the tree will automatically reflect those changes, yes? (it's a bit of a light-bulb moment - no more mucking around with explicitly creating tree nodes) I'm trying to do a similar thing as quasimotoca** with certain types of nodes loading into their own editing panel, depending on which is selected. but the trick is [Bindable] and just editing the trees' dataProvider, yes? thanx b ** http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders@yahoogroups.com/msg36600.html -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] third state of checkbox - flex 1.5
please forgive me for butting in but I'd argue that checkboxes don't have third states... by design. I mean, have you ever seen a MS Windows tri-state chrckbox (or radio button)? perhaps one within dreamweaver/Flexbuilder 1.0? There's one with focus, sure, but semi-on? my point is that users are expecting a common experiance with UI's. differ too much from what they are used to with Windows, OS-X or KDE and they won't recognise it has a third state ...which is the strength of the UI components in Flex - developed to conform to know user experiances.. just my 2c, nothing more.

[flexcoders] toggle Expand/Collapse Tree Nodes
hi all
I just need a quick help with how to pick up if a tree is expanded or
not. I've almost got it - it'll expand all but not collapse.
I don't think myTree.openItems != null is correct but I can't think
of what else
private function toggleExpandCollapseTree():void
{
myTree.selectedIndex = 0;
if (myTree.openItems != null){
myTree.expandChildrenOf(myTree.selectedItem , true);
btnExpandCollapseTree.label = Collapse All;
}else{
myTree.expandChildrenOf(myTree.selectedItem , false);
btnExpandCollapseTree.label = Expand All;
}
}
any suggestions? thanx.
PS: I have to cater for cases where only a root node exists

Re: [flexcoders] cairngorn vs FDS DataService
Tom, just to check... you're saying that, if you don't need syncronised data or being able to pust data or messages to clients, then the garden variety remoting would do just fine... yes? so the opposite is true? if you *have* to have data in sync/ only one copy of the record can be edited at any one time/ controlling data collision, etc then FDS is the way to go... IMHO, that in itself is, when the situation demands it (like my previous project, pre-FDS) , is worth every penny of FDS -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] [v2.0] ItemRenderer error:
I've finally upgraded from Beta3 to current version, and of course
some things broke.
I've traced the latest problem back to a LiveDocs example** I based my
code from which generates the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
at MyRenderers::MyTreeItemRenderer/set data()
// Override the set method for the data property
// to set the font color and style of each node.
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
super.data = value;
if(TreeListData(super.listData).hasChildren) {
setStyle(color, 0xff);
setStyle(fontWeight, 'bold');
}
else {
setStyle(color, 0x00);
setStyle(fontWeight, 'normal');
}
}
I just can't see what's wrong with it what it might be in the Flex 2
changes between Beta 3 and Release
(http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flexteam/archives/2006/06/flex_2_changes.cfm)
It's a bit of a show stopper at the moment...
any suggestions?

Re: [flexcoders] Identifying tree item (right click)

it's useful for a project, work out what some of the limitations are.

it seems that the field label is used as the label of the treeview.

shortName to display as the label (eventually, label will NOT be a

[flexcoders] Re: Recommended technologies/frameworks for powering Flex 2.0 RIAs?
klumikaze, In regards to ColdFusion - is it still a commercial product licensed on a per-server basis? yes. although Adobe are going to good efforts with site-wide enterprise licences for bigger stuff and there's lots of commercial web hosts for smaller. I think we're looking for a way to do it with Java (possibly through a framework). Any past experiences with such frameworks, or any recommendations? are you *really* set on Java? ColdFusion integration with Flex by either remoting or webservices is very good and fast to develop**. In fact, developing remoting- or webservices-based applications in ColdFusion (as a RAD tool) may just save you more than enough development $$$ to pay for the licences. And there's heaps of CF frameworks to chose from, most inspired by Java ones (since CF compiles down ot Java) just my (biased) 2c barry.b ** one of the things I had to ensure before we even considered Flex.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex and courseware
(FYI, SarahB) Flex as a courseware presentation layer. we're evaluating Flex as a front end to the Blackboard LMS (alternative to the JSP templates), as well as custom interactive tools and other ColdFusion-powered systems here. Does any one know if any of the known open source CMS out there ( mooodle, claroline , etc )... we had a look at Moodle (I don't know of any other O/S ones). For us (a university) moodle is promising but not quite there yet. we're looking at Flex to integrate with Blackboard via webservices - they've made it pretty much a closed system. but what we want to use a Flash front end for, Blackboard will only be used for the dumb stuff anyway (class lists, save results, etc). there's just not that many hooks into the Blackboard guts (certainly not at the java value objects level). for our CF systems, it's a much better situation with the addition of remoting and gateways. ... feature a modular business layer that would allow me to use a flex front-end instead of an HTML one? again it comes down to integration. AFAICS, Flex applications ( mx:Application...) lend itself nicely to a module (of functionality) for a wide enterprise app - I wouldn't put too much business logic in there since it gets compiled into every SWF - just enough to do it's job and get it to talk effectively to the back end system. BTW, we're flying the Cairngorm flag one final point: this all still in evaluation. until the prices are finalised we're not going to go in boots'n'all (yet). Flex may be FREE but what about CF connectivity, FDS2.0, etc? and of course FlexBuilder 2.0... Feel free to answer in PVT to ... CC'd but also kept onlist...any other educators out there? pls speak up. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

RE: [flexcoders] CF, Flexmessaging and FDS2: Unknown destination 'ColdFusionGateway'
Where are you defining your ColdFusionGateway, in FDS flex-message-service.xml or in your ColdFusion flex-enterprise-services.xml ? only in the FDS flex-message-service.xml in C:\fds2\jrun4\servers\default\samples\WEB-INF\flex that's what the error means, yes? that Flex doesn't know where CF and the gateway are? I've no doubt that I've got some setting wrong, but which? - the MXML code sends the name of the gateway (Flex2CF) along to the flexgateway which, thanx to the IP address in flex-message-service.xml looks for the CF server with the gateway Flex2CF. that's the part that seems to have broken down. flex cant find the CF gateway. at the moment I just want to run the mxml file with out errors. passing data from CF thru the CF gateway to the flex message service then on to the mxml is step two. any ideas? thanx -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

[flexcoders] cairngorm phone sample and new Stateless Commands mod
I'm using Benoit Hediard's cairngorm 2 version of the Phone sample and
the latest Caringorm2 framework which includes changes to the way
commands are called to make them stateless:
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/swebster/archives/2006/05/cairngorm_2_for_1.cfm
the change to the call in phones.ApplicationController.as was easy
enough (as per article) but I'm lost (all still very new to me) on
changes needed to the phones' commands
this affects both
public class PhoneGetCommand implements Command, Responder {...}
public class PhoneListGetCommand implements Command, Responder {...}
Interface method onResult in namespace
org.nevis.cairngorm.business:Responder is implemented with an
incompatible signature in class
com.mycompany.phones.controller:PhoneListGetCommand. (PhoneListGetCommand.as
line 17)
any suggestions?
thanx
PS:
I'm also getting a:
Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly
unrelated type Array. PhoneListGetCommand.as phones_cairngorm2/com/mycompany/phones/controller line
33
public function onResult(event:ResultEvent):void {
model.phones = new ArrayCollection(event.result); /** HERE **/
model.applicationState = ApplicationView.STATE_DEFAULT;
}
PPS: there's also an unneeded
//import org.nevis.cairngorm.samples.login.commands.LoginCommand;
in ApplicationController.as
but I'm nit-picking and grateful Benoit made this sample.

[flexcoders] Flexbuilder 2 and remoting config: quick question.
I'm trying to get Flexbuilder to build remoting projects on an IIS install of ColdFusion from http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders@yahoogroups.com/msg24818.html quote: If everything is setup correctly, Flex Builder will create a folder with the same name as the project on the CF server. For the above example the URL will be http://dev-machine:8500/CFTest. All generated output will be automatically uploaded to the remote server. this is NOT what I'm after I'm trying to get Flexbuilder to create a web folder with a *different* name to the project name (so when I build it ends up as http://localhost/project101/main.html not http://localhost/my%20project/main.html AND this is an IIS install of CF so the :8500 is irrelivant. no wonder it can't find the SWF I realise it's just me trying to get used to FB workflows but is there an *easy* way to do this without resorting to CF mappings everywhere? the problem seems to be that FB is expecting *flex-enterprise-services.xml* to be in the WEB-INF/flex folder (which it is) BUT that maps to the webroot (which it doesn't: http:// localhost - c:\inetpub\wwwroot) any suggestions? thanx -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

Select 'Flex Build Path'. At the bottom fill in the folder name for 'Output folder' (e.g. project101) Output Folder: project101 (in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot) (looks good so far...) Cannot create a link to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\project101 because it overlaps the location of the project that contains the linked resource. damn! linked resource? is this upset over C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex\flex-enterprise-services.xml or can I not have a project (and it's files) in the same web folder that it's to be compiled to (and run from)? thanx again b -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

[flexcoders] newbie Cairngorm 2.0 question
I have a large rambling app to build that's mostly just data maintainance and retrieval screens. I was thinking of breaking it down as each section of functionality (for the user) is a seperate application. the trouble there is with using various screens. Each screen will consist of a multi-tabbed form and each tab handles specific functionality - (basic details/extended details/associated details, etc) each tab is a seperate view in Cairngorm terminology, yes? the trick is that each of the contents of the tab can be reused in other parts of the same application or indeed in other applications (ie: other sections of the whole product) HOWEVER, when that happens, there can be different logic (both at a view and a model level) for that view/tab. It's based on context (where in the app) as well as workflow (are they editing or appending? different logic applies...). As far as the user sees, tab orders change, validation changes, different data is retrieved, and different business logic applies. I call it micro-logic. on the face of it, the easiest way to build it (but not maintain) is to just copy the MXML for each tab and write different processing logic depending where it is in the app(s)...but I'm wanting to reuse as much code as possible for future maintainance. Mostly the same user events, commands, VO's being passed around is this where viewHelpers...er...help? even though they're being replaced with the idea of binding the view to the ModelLocator? any suggestions? thanx -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

[flexcoders] quick Q's: ColdFusion/Flex 2.0 Connectivity...for a Mac
hi guys... I just want to check a couple of quick details about setting up Flex2.0 on a Mac. (1) Even tho I've got Eclipse (and the CFEclipse plugin) working OK on the Mac (10.4.5), there isn't FlexBuilder for Mac yet? not even as a plug-in? this means using ANT scripts or whatever to use the command line compiler? (BTW, is the Mac's XCode any help?) (2) I also noticed on the MACR Flex download site that the ColdFusion/Flex 2.0 Connectivity download is for windows only. is this still true (and no work-arounds)? I ask 'cos I wanted to see if I could - install Flex 2.0 server in one of the JRun instances (with CF being in another) - then have CF for the backend and use remoting to connect them these are baby steps for me trying to branch out from CF and ASP.NET development and I just need to get my little iBook set up and I'll be away. so any help is appreciated. thanx barry.b -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
