Event.stopPropagation() or stopImmediatePropagation() (depending on whether
you want events on the current node to be executed before the event stops or
not:

Re: [flexcoders] click and doubleClick on the same button?

[Beau Scott]

The only way I've been able to accomplish this is to use a timer to filter
out a double click, and then ferry the original click event to an eventual
click handler. The downside to this is the hardcoded timer delay doesn't
reflect the user's system's double-click delay, and I'm not sure how to read
that in (I'm not even sure that Flex uses this anyway).

Example:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="horizontal" xmlns:local="*">










Hope that helps,

Re: [flexcoders] Manage a multi lingual application

Depends on your approach, really. If you're looking to release mutiple

feasible option when dealing with multi-directional language support), you
should start here:

Re: [flexcoders] Different Views | Same DataProvider

[Beau Scott]

The sorting is stored on the ListCollectionView dataProvider of each list
control. If you set the list controls to share the same ListCollectionView,
the sorting will be common. If you set the dataprovider to each control to
be a non-ListCollectionView object (an array for example, instead of an
ArrayCollection), the sorting will be unique between the two as different
ArrayCollection objects will be created to wrap the same source array, but
data will not be duplicated. There are some caveats: The ListCollectionView
also handles update events, so if you change the data in one list control,
it won't be shown in the other until you call other.dataProvider.refresh(),
and this can be a heavy operation as it has to reindex, sort and seek.
Here's an example:

=

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="horizontal" xmlns:local="*">


























=


Note that you can sort the datagrids independent of eachother. If you click
"add to right grid", a new line item will be added to the right grid only.
It has been added to the regionData Array, as well, but becase Array is not
an event dispatcher, the left grid is not automatically refreshed. If you
click the refresh button, the dataProvider for left is refreshed and the new
lines show up.


Hope this helps,

Beau

Re: [flexcoders] DatagridColumn dataField question

[Beau Scott]

dataField is a property belonging to the objects within the datagrid's
dataprovider. you don't access the array directly from your datagrid column,
rather you just name the field to access. So in the case you gave of an
array of strings, you'd only be able to display properties of the string
objects themselves (such as length):

 

You could use label function to just return the value of the object as well:

Re: [flexcoders] Create a directory

[Beau Scott]

Flex is a client side technology, so what you're trying to do can't be done
directly from Flex. Depending on your server technology, you can create a
script (like php, jsp, perl, asp, etc.) and call that script's url from the
Flex application and have it respond however you want.

Re: [Spam] RE: [Spam] [flexcoders] Question on Flex Script Execution + Alert.show

[Beau Scott]

All this said... there are hacky ways to visually emulate it... It's
effectively the same as using separate methods, but visually looks like what
you're after. There are some scope caveats to it ("this" references the
global scope rather than the current class, duplicate named variables are
overwritten to local scope), and potentially some memory clean up issues
(anonymous functions are tricky to GC).



http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute"
dragEnter="dragEntered(event)" dragDrop="dragDropped(event)">









So basically what you're doing here is using an inline anonymous function as
the close handler for the alert box. The trick as I tried to point out in
the code comment is referenced values that might change between the outer
procedure execution time and when the anonymous function is executed should
be initialized outside of the anonymous function. In this case, I need to
calculate the X/Y drop coords because by the time the close handler is
executed, my mouse position relative to the object I dropped will have
changed as I move to hit "YES", so I calculate the value at the time of the
drop and then reference that inside the closure.


Hope this helps.

Re: [Spam] RE: [Spam] [flexcoders] Question on Flex Script Execution + Alert.show

[Beau Scott]

You have to remember that flex renders according to the component lifecycle.
There's a global timer that runs independent of everything else (according
to the FPS the movie is playing) that more or less watches the objects in
the display list and with each timer tick will re-render the objects that
have been flagged as needing such. So when you say Alert.show(...), a new
display object is created and stuck into the display list, but it won't be
set up and shown until the next sweep of this global timer. Also, flash is
not multithreaded, so your current method must finish executing before the
rendering timer event method can be executed, so semaphores are not possible
(you can't stay in a loop waiting for another operation to complete, it will
never happen). Therefor you are forced you to rely on event listeners to
interact with this object.

Re: [flexcoders] why "disabledRanges" doesn't work

[Beau Scott]

Works fine for me. Are you thinking that new Date(2010,2,1) = Feb 1, 2010?
Remeber that months are 0 based, so 2 = March.

[flexcoders] All-In-One Flex/AIR SDK Mac/Win/Lin Package?

[Beau Scott]

We currently run a full spectrum of development and testing environments for
our software (Multi-Linux, Mac and Windows), and our automated build/test
server runs linux. In an effort to ensure all engineers and build servers
are using the same SDK versions, we have an SDK repository and externals
linked to our main project.

So this is my quandary: Combining the disparate packages of Flex and AIR
SDK's for each environment is extremely cumbersome:

   1. Flex
  1. Download Flex SDK
  2. Download Flex DVC SDK
  3. Download Flex Automation Libs (overlaying with files distributed
  with Flex Builder because it's incomplete)
  4. Extract in that order to new SDK dir (eg: 3.4.0/)
   2. AIR
   1. Download AIR SDK (windows)
  2. Download AIR SDK (mac)
  3. Download AIR SDK (linux)
  4. Check for any differences outside of the bin dir (src/swc files)
  5. Combine in to common directory
   3. Overlay combined AIR directory on top of directory created in 1.4

Anyone who's tried this knows there are some issues with it, like linked
resources in the Mac and Linux AIR player directories, that make it so you
have to complete a few of these steps on a Mac and/or Linux box... And there
are common-named files on each that conflict (for example: adl conflicts
between Mac and Linux, and there are jar file differences between the Linux
AIR SDK and the Windows AIR SDK).

There has to be an easier way to do this. Does anyone know of one? Or should
I file this as a request on bugs.adobe.com?

Re: [flexcoders] FileReference.load()

[Beau Scott]

Ah, I see what you're saying now. The answer is you're not going to be able
to do it unless you use 10, because the compiler looks at the compatible
player version and includes version-specific swcs at compile time (Flex
Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\libs\player\9\playerglobal.swc vs
Flex Builder 3
Plug-in\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\libs\player\10\playerglobal.swc). Therefore
"load" will never be available no matter what player is playing it if you're
specifiying 9 as the lowest compatible version. These libs don't exist in
the player itself, it's supplied by the swf.

Re: [flexcoders] Horizontal List - the Images don't appear - help?!

[Beau Scott]

Like most other "icon" attributes in flex, they're class references, not
string urls (see
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/HorizontalList.html#includeExamplesSummary
)

You have two options:
1: Embed the images and reference their respective variables through binding
(like in the above example)
2: Create your own renderer for use within the HorizontalList, making use of
an mx:Image that has it's source set to the icon property of the objects in
the given dataProvider. and an mx:Label that's bound to the label property.

Some semi-working code: (you'll probabaly want to make it extend UIComponent
and handle measuring, positioning, etc. Look @ TileListItemRenderer for
guidance).

package
{
import mx.containers.VBox;
import mx.controls.Image;
import mx.controls.Label;
import mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;
import mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer;
import mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer;
import mx.controls.listClasses.ListData;
import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
import mx.core.IFactory;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;

public class URLHListRenderer extends VBox implements IFactory,
IDropInListItemRenderer, IDataRenderer, IListItemRenderer
{
private var uiImage:Image;
private var uiLabel:Label;

public function URLHListRenderer()
{
super();
}

override protected function createChildren():void
{
super.createChildren();
uiImage = new Image();
addChild(uiImage);

uiLabel = new Label();
uiLabel.styleName = this;
addChild(uiLabel);
}

override protected function commitProperties():void
{
super.commitProperties();
uiImage.source = data && (data.icon || data.source) ? (data.icon
|| data.source) : null;
uiLabel.text = data ? data.label : null;
}


public function newInstance():*
{
var instance:URLHListRenderer = new URLHListRenderer();
instance.styleName = this;
instance.width = width;
instance.height = height;
return instance;
}

private var _listData:ListData;
[Bindable("dataChange")]
public function get listData():BaseListData
{
return null;
}
/**
 * @private
 */
public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
{
_listData = value as ListData;
dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));
invalidateProperties();
}

override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
super.data = value;
invalidateProperties();
}
}
}

Re: [flexcoders] Re: datefield issue

[Beau Scott]

Months are 0-based in ecmascript (JS, AS, etc.) Date objects. 0 = jan., 1 =
feb., etc.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/Date.html#month

Use a date formatter if you need to format this to a string and don't want
to manually convert the month offset. (probably a good idea to use the date
formatter anyway when you're dealing with locales.)

Re: [flexcoders] Automation updates with 3.3 SDK?

[Beau Scott]

Nevermind, I just pulled it from what came with Flex Builder 3.0.2 because I
couldn't find the dataviz package anywhere for 3.2. Even tried modifying the
url that is on the current dataviz link.

FYI, the links from the opensource sdk site,

http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+3 ,

to the 3.2 sdk zip goes to the main flex product download page rather than
to where it should:

[flexcoders] 3.3 SDK AIR debugging issues

[Beau Scott]

I just updated our code base to use Flex SDK 3.3 & AIR 1.5.1 (thanks to some
weird dependency issue that occured when updating the system's AIR runtime
to 1.5.1 and not the debugger... real nice), and am now having horrible
issues debugging on all platforms.
We primarily develop on Linux, and are used to the frequent/random debugger
disconnects that have always plagued it, but are now experiencing random
lockups of the application being debugged.
Thinking this was a Linux oversight, we booted up to Windows -- and
disappointingly found that there are as many issues in debugging in windows
now. For no apparent reason, when launch an application for debugging, about
20% of the time the application never starts. You can see the decompression
message in the debug output, but that's it. ADL is still running, not really
consuming more memory, and the debugger stays connected, but nothing
happens. Debugging on Windows also has the same random/frequent lockups that
Linux did after the SDK update.

I've updated all the runtimes, etc., following the instructions here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder_linux/releasenotes.html#airand
adapting them to fit all platforms (with regard to executables).

Anyone else see this?

I have been working on a form where I have 3 fields. Two fields are 
RadioButton controls, the third a CheckBox control. Now it is as 
below:






 






 
 


Looking at the checkbox enabled it shows: 
{(status.selectedValue)?((access.selectedValue)?true:false):false}

A simple {status.selectedValue && access.selectedValue} would be 
desired, but it causes an error in Flex. I tried using || rather 
than && (just for kicks) and it works. Flex is wanting the && to be 
an html entity... So I was wondering, is this just bad programming on 
my part and I need to do something different, or is it a bug in Flex?

RE: [flexcoders] Grr, HTTPService doesn't work when it should

[Beau Scott]

A little more information on the fault than “shuts down hard”  would be
helpful.

In any case, some webservers won’t let you POST to an XML document, try
changing the HTTPService method to “GET”.

This doesn’t seem right, and sure enough, Rails is throwing errors when it

I think at least you need to change:

 

checkJobs.lastResult.jobs.job

 

to:

 

checkJobs.lastResult.jobs

 

the DataGrid is expecting a list of jobs, not just a single job.

Without knowing your code details it would be hard to pinpoint exactly which
change is causing your issues, but you should read the change log as 9.0.124
was a security update and RPC/SOAP calls are often the targets of security

I've got a live Flex 3 site that uses SOAP web services. I've had a 
number of users over the weekend who updated to Flash Player 9.0.124.0 
and now they can't get past the login screen -- it's like the login web 
service is not being called at all.

The site works fine with version 9.0.115.0 (and older versions of Flash 
Player 9). 

Was there some type of change in 9.0.124.0 that would cause this type 
of issue?

called.  Very useful if it exists:

 

Anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut in the code editor for inserting
a variable or method name (FB2)?  I would imagine you could hit a key
combination and get a list of public and private variables in the class, as
well as names of public and private functions, which you could select from,
hit enter and FB would insert it at the cursor. I get tired of looking up at
the top of my class and trying to remember what I called something and then
either typing or copying and pasting - any way to do this?  Thanks.

I tried that too and it came up empty too. I tried it without the
klass node as I was miss reading the root, but that still didn't work.

when I printout courseList.depts.dept.(name == needle) it returns all
the name nodes like I expect but I want to get the klass node that is
parented two levels up.

Maybe it can't be done, most examples I've seen only return one parent
node up from what they are searching for.

be well,

RE: [flexcoders] Presenting at a user group meet regarding Flex + PHP...

Performance reasons alone are enough to put preference in the AMFPHP 1.9
plugin when dealing with flash/flex interfaces… though I will probably show
how to set up dual gateways (one SOAP one AMFPHP) so interoperability is not

Using PHP's SoapServer class to expose PHP classes to Flex. No need for
AMFPHP. And the resultant services communicate in a standard format and can 
be consumed by other environments aside from the Flash player.

[flexcoders] Kiosk support in AIR?

[Beau Scott]

So the FAQ on the old labs site for AIR noted that kiosk support was
planned, but it gave no mention of which specific kiosk-bits of
functionality would be available. Anyone know if this made it in and if so
what/where? 

 

(http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/AIR:Developer_FAQ#Can_I_create_CD-ROM_
or_kiosk_applications_that_leverage_Adobe_AIR.3F)

 

I’m looking for a few specific settings like locking in full screen,
disabling program exit (hotkey) and application switching – but would be
curious also as to what else was put in. I imagine I could intercept some of
that and force it to behave similarly, but there would be some
platform-specific logic in there that would defeat the purpose of using a
platform independent vm/framework…

 

Thanks in advance,

You just have to include the charting SWC in your lib path (either the

Hi Matt,

since you said that the charting libraries only come with Flex 3 Pro,
is there a command-line only version of Flex 3 Pro available? And if
not, does this mean it will not be possible to compile any charting

add-on package similar to the way it was done in Flex 2, but didn't

RE: [flexcoders] Access MySQL directly from Flex client

[Beau Scott]

Providing direct access to your DB via a flex app over the web is extremely
insecure, even in “safe intranents” – you’d be surprised what bored
employees are capable of.

 

Best approach is to use a thing service layer, possibly something like
FlexCRUD(http://flexcrud.riaforge.org/blog/index.cfm/2007/5/5/Updated-to-ver
sion-03-in-SVN) , it’s a little out of date and I personally have no
experience with it, but have heard of some people using it with success.

 

Honestly, even if you go the route of AMFPHP or a simple SOAP webservice
layer (like PEAR’s Services_Webservice package), it’s really easy to create
a service for your specific needs.

 

AMFPHP is probably the easiest in the long term as it doesn’t require you to
do a lot of XML parsing to access your data. However it is a bit more work
up front. Setup is easy, but you have to create VO’s on both sides.

 

Services_Webservice is just a standard SOAP wrapper for PHP. A little more
involved to setup as it doesn’t have a default service broker (though it’s
not hard to make one) but doesn’t require VO’s, but like I said, you have to
parse through the XML in your client – not that it’s hard.

 

Both methods involve creating PHP classes with public methods as your
service interfaces. With AMFPHP you simply put these classes in the
amfphp/classes directory. Services_Webservice you extend the Webservice
class and load it through your broker.

 

 

Hope this helps,

 

Beau

Subject: [flexcoders] Access MySQL directly from Flex client

 

I need to quickly put together a dashboard where the data will come
from mysql. I would like to eliminate middile layer (if possible). The
only mysql connector 
article  I came across doesnt have any source code.

So I am concluding that this is not possible (yet). I am looking for 
next best options (thinest possible middle layer, possibly
Ruby/Groovy/perl/python?)

=>Security and scalability are not of concern (as its within our safe
intranet for a very small set of users).

Are you looking to build a 'code beautifier', or just something that can

Does it play nice with FlexBuilder? Seems like I tried the AIR part of it
last summer when it came out but didn’t like the way it messed around with
Flex Builders file associations. (I actually use Aptana  for all my AJAX

I’ll give it a shot again, thanks J

Hey Beau- ever thought about using Aptana- it has an adobe AIR plugin

RE: [flexcoders] SWF file size

[Beau Scott]

Flex framework

 

Flex 3 allows you to use a localy cached flex framework by specifying the
flex framework as a RSL.

HYPERLINK
"http://www.onflex.org/ted/2008/01/flex-3-framework-caching.php"http://www.o
nflex.org/ted/2008/01/flex-3-framework-caching.php

 

To enable this, go to your Flex project’s properties, select “Flex Build
Path”, then “Library Path”. Select the Flex 3 library, and change the
Framework Linkage option to RSL.

 

An empty application should be around 47k with this option enabled.

There are a few mailing lists (this one, flexcomponents, and OSFlash)

 

There are a few good ActionScript reference books out there:

 

ActionScript Design Patterns (O’Rielly)

ActionScript 3 Bible

 

I have yet to see a Flex-specific book that offers sound advice for
large-scale applications, like covering the dangers of data binding (argue
what you will… Buzzword agrees with me: Binding is evil in large apps),
overviews of good frameworks and architectures (Cairngorm vs. PureMVC, etc),
and best practices for memory management and application size.  I’m not
saying there AREN’T any out there, I just haven’t found any yet.

 

As far as classes go, I have no idea :-P

Subject: [flexcoders] Dynamically Load Applications?

 

Hi guys,

One more question and I think my company can make our decision of 
whether or not to use Flex.

What we have is one large system that is composed and 100's of small 
programs. Under the current system we have a menu, and then once 
they choose a program from the menu it dynamically loads that program 
and then once they are finished with that program it completely 
closes it and opens the menu again.

Can I do this type of dynamic loading/unloading in Flex? This way 
the user doesn't have to wait on 20 programs to be opened, when they 
only need to access one of them?

I don't need an explanation of how at this moment, just if it's 
possible.

My next step will be finding some training on Flex/Actionscript 
whether it be actual classes or books, any recommendations on this?

Thanks,
-David

I purchased the upgrade to Flex Builder 3 Professional and after the
order went through instead of a serial number all that I got was a
message that said "Contact Customer Service." 

I just got off of a 15 minute phone call with Customer Service and was
told that it will take 24 to 48 hours before serial numbers are
available. Supposedly I will receive an email with the serial number,
but after many bad experiences with Adobe Customer Service, let's just
say I'll believe it when I see it ;-)

Anyway, just wanted to get the word out in case you buy Flex Builder 3
and expect to receive a serial number for the product at the time you
make the purchase.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3 and AIR 1 are now live!

[Beau Scott]

The “Try it now” link from the main Flex Builder product page was giving a
404 for about 10 minutes after the product page was updated (I’ve been
hitting F5 since for the last half hour waiting for it… J )

 

It’s working now however so no biggie.  Thanks again.

RE: [flexcoders] Where did the value go?

[Beau Scott]

>>> maybe try event.currentTarget.



True, your target could have changed, and using currentTarget will ensure
that you are referencing the DataGrid.

 

>>> and how are you calling selectSlide if it is private or is that a
mistake?

 

If it’s all in the same MXML, it’s accessible as private.

I have a datagrid that should send it's selectItem value to a detail form.



Placing a breakpoint on the change property and observing the
event.target. selectedItem value shows the event is carrying the
expected info. But when execution reaches the handler:

public var selectedSlide: Slide;
private function selectSlide( pSlide:Slide) :void
{
selectedSlide = pSlide ; // pSlide is now null.
dispatchEvent( new Event(SELECT, true));
}

the param is null. How do I go about figuring out where my error is? I
reason that if there's something wrong with how I've typed 'Slide' I'd
get a compile-time error.

RE: [flexcoders] Where did the value go?

[Beau Scott]

Your type cast might be failing, causing pSlide to be null.

 

Try typing pSlide to Object and remove the type cast in the change event
handler, this will at least give you an idea of what’s happening.

I’ve always wondered and have been too lazy to try, but if you don’t have
the debug version of the flash play installed, do you still get the

RE: [flexcoders] HTTP service, XML with namespaces

[Beau Scott]

Try this:

 

 

public namespace itunesNS = "http://www.itunes.com/";;

use namespace itunesNS;

 

Obviously you’d need to change what the itunes namespace value really is.

RE: [flexcoders] Error-" textDecoration"

Do you have a style declaration in your class called “textDecoration” at the
top?

[Style(name=”textDecoration” …

If so, the error is saying that this style declaration has already been made
in the parenting class UITextField

RE: [flexcoders] How do I navigate to an mxml file from a login file?

[Beau Scott]

Howdy J

You’re correct: states to manage this is probably a poor choice, as would
using a ViewStack. The compiled file would be really large and very
unmanageable.

I actually started a blog post on this a while ago, but lost motivation to
finish it until tonight. I cover the ups and downs of using
ViewStacks/states, SWFLoaders and Modules, and provides a working example of
how to use Modules.

ications-at-login/"http://www.beauscott.com/2008/02/20/using-flex-modules-to
-load-dynamic-applications-at-login/

 

It’s rough, and might be buggy, but it’s at least illustrates the approach.

I've created a login that will send users in 1 of 3 direction (i.e. 
administrator, teacher, or student). I want each type of user to link 
to a separate mxml file because, if I use States, my file will become 
quite large and I don't want to have to navigate through long files 
when I'm coding. 

My question: How do I link to an another mxml file from the main.mxml 
file?

Thanks!
