Re: [flexcoders] Embedding/visualizing special characters issue

2009-03-20 Thread Christian Giordano
Funnily enough it was just the font missing the characters. What was
driving me crazy is that Flash IDE when putting the textfield in the
field was generously embedding another font to render the missing
characters. So the textfield created in the IDE was magically
embedding two fonts and was able to render all the characters.

Cheers, chr

 Hey Christian,

 Make sure there are no null chars 0x00 in the String as the display of such 
 Strings are truncated at the first null char.

 What version of Flex are you using?

 Are you using an @font-face to embed your font? If so, can you post a snippet 
 showing the complete @font-face rule?

 Can you provide the fontsmanagers section of your Flex SDK 
 /frameworks/flex-config.xml?

 Also, you could try adding -Dtrace.font as JVM args to get the compiler to 
 print out more debug information about embedding fonts while compiling. If 
 you're using mxmlc.exe, you can add these to the java.args property in the 
 /bin/jvm.config file of your Flex SDK.

 Pete

 Subject: [flexcoders] Embedding/visualizing special characters issue

 Hi guys, this is getting a bit mad, can anyone manage to embed and
 visualize characters like: ř (U+0159) ?

 I'm trying to embed an OpenType font (AvantGarde) to be able to show
 Chek chars, like: ůěČžíýř
 And regardless the unicodeRange, there is no way to make it see it :S

 Also other chars of the string are not visible. I tried from Flash IDE
 too, without success unless they are typed on the instance itself, for
 this reason I'm considering it can be a problem of string handling
 more than font embedding. Any idea how I could sort this?

 Cheers, chr

I tried to add the parameter to the java compiling but doesn't seem to
work. I'm using Ant and I'm on a mac.

 As I understand  from my reading, the W3C specs state that POST methods do
 not cache.  There are  posts on this list about it, and I am sure you could
 look into the specs themselves.  I have just always used POST, and never had
 any problems.  Aspx is nice because Request(myParm) handles both post and
 get parameters.

 Use the POST method instead of get.

 I'm using the httpservice to make a call to an aspx page which runs a
 query and returns the results. This is fine, but if I try to run the
 same call again, the service is not actually going out to make the call,
 but rather just returning the results from the previous call. I know
 this because the aspx page logs each call made to it. I always see the
 first call, but no subsequent calls come through if I post the same
 data. If I send a different set of data, the call works fine, but then
 will not post that data again. Any ideas on why it doesn't want to
 actually make the call? Below are the relevant pieces of code:
 script ... 
 public function lblClickHandler(event:Event):void{
 tgtdata = event.currentTarget.data.toString();
 customer_id = event.currentTarget.data;
 useHttpService();
 }

 public function useHttpService():void {
 userReq.url = dstURL; //set in another part of the code
 userReq.method = GET;

 var Obj:Object = new Object();
 Obj.w = wispid; //wispid is just a number that is set
 elsewhere
 Obj.i = tgtdata;
 userReq.send(Obj);
 }
 ...
 /script
 mx:HTTPService id=userReq result=gethttpResult(event)
 fault=handleFault(event) useProxy=false method=GET
 resultFormat=object /

[flexcoders] Autoresize of a Tile container

2008-05-11 Thread Christian Giordano
I've a Tile inside a VBox with height 100%. the VBox contains another
VBox with height 100%. I don't specify the height of the Tile and when
I first populate it it resize properly. After I play with the size of
the container (in this care resizing the window of the AIR
application), the items in the Tile do redistribute correctly but the
Tile doesn't resize accordingly. This means that if the Tile gets too
small in width, a vertical scollbar will appear and if it gets too
wide an empty space will remain in the Tile after the items. I tried
to force invalidation size, autolayout but nothing.

It strange because in this example it seems to work fine:

Any ideas?


Thanks, chr
