Re: [flexcoders] Re: how to get the name of a video file after upload
What you need to do is create some xml in your file upload cfm page
cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace=true
cftry
cffile action=upload result=newimg fileField=filedata
destination=#expandPath('/yourPath')# nameconflict=overwrite
cfxml
variable=statusresultstatusOK/statusmessagecfoutput#expandPath('/yourPath')#/cfoutput//message/result/cfxml
cfcatch
cfxml
variable=statusresultstatusError/statusmessagecfoutput#cfcatch.Message#/cfoutput/message/result/cfxml
/cfcatch
/cftry
cfoutput#status#/cfoutput
/cfprocessingdirective
, and then in your flex code you need to listen for the
DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA event and then you can parse that xml for the
file name.
public function uploadDataComplete(event:DataEvent):void
{
var result:XML = new XML(event.data);
/* status_txt.text += 'Upload Data Complete';
status_txt.text += 'RESULT: ' + result.toString() + ''
status_txt.text += 'STATUS: ' + result.status + '\n';
status_txt.text += 'MESSAGE: '+ result.message + '\n';
status_txt.text += result.message + fileName; */
//newimg.source = ../../images/ + fileName;
}

Subject: [flexcoders] how to get the name of a video file after upload
hi guys, i have built a video uploader in flex with a coldfusion backend.
what i do is allow the user to upload a video file (using cffile) and use
ffmpeg to convert the file into .flv format(this is because flex videoplayer
only plays .flv files) which is then stored(file. flv) on the server. this
all works perfectly, but i want to get the name of the flv file on the
server into the textinput and store it in the database. how do i do that?
here is the code, in this case the textinput is filled with the original
file name(something like file.mov or file.mp4 etc and i want to fill it with
the name of the converted file eg file.flv)
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf- 8?

I've read loads of blog posts, forum posts and the responses go from its really simple to its a nightmare to set up. So I'm going to post how we currently have Flex and CF setup and see if anyone can shed some light on why its not working. What we are finding is that when we try to access the Flex2gateway via the URL we get a 404 error message, and when we try and run a test app that uses CF and Flex we get this error message: errorID = 0 faultCode = Client.Error.MessageSend faultDetail = Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed: url: 'http://aacoldfusiondev/flex2gateway/' faultString = Send failed message = faultCode:Client.Error.MessageSend faultString:'Send failed' faultDetail:'Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed: url: 'http://aacoldfusiondev/flex2gateway/'' name = Error rootCause = (Object)#1 code = NetConnection.Call.Failed description = HTTP: Failed details = http://aacoldfusiondev/flex2gateway/; level = error So our setup is we have a dev server running IIS and windows server 2003. We have install CF Enterprise 7.0.2 on this server, and set the Enable Flash Remoting support. The JVM that CF is using is version 1.4.2_09 We put our Flex applications under the wwwroot folder of Inetpub and not the wwwroot folder under C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\. One question though in the wwwroot of CFusion, the web-inf folder is there, but it isn't under C:\inetpub\wwwroot should it. Should we move the web-inf folder from CFusion to inetpub or copy it there. If so how does Flex know when web-inf folder to read from? I've seen that some people with a similar problem have made changes to their service-config.xml file, by setting the IP address and port number of the server. Is this a way to solve this problem? Any changes we have made to the service-config.xml file do not seem to have helped, even after we have restart the CF server. We've been stuck setting this up for a while now, I always though that CF and Flex we designed to work together smoothly with hardly any setup problems, but that does seem to be. Any help would be great. Thanks Stephen

[flexcoders] AddChild problem
I am not sure this as much a problem as I am probably doing something
wrong. I am adding child components at runtime to a vbox. These new
components can be dragged to a new position. This all works. The
'problem' is that when anytime a new child is added, all the child
components move the top left corner of the container they are added
to.
Code Below:
public function creatObj(what:String):void{
var obj:UIComponent;
switch(what){
case rssFirstName:
obj = new textComponent;
//container_vb.addChild(obj);
break;
case rssLastName:
obj = new textComponent;
//container_vb.addChild(obj);
break;
case rssEmail:
break;
case text:
obj = new textComponent;
//container_vb.addChild(obj);
break;
case textArea:
obj = new textAreaComponent;
//container_vb.addChild(obj);
break;
case checkBox:
obj = new checkboxComponent;
//container_vb.addChild(obj);
break;
default:
break;
}
container_vb.addChild(obj);
}

Re: [flexcoders] Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?
IMO, web services should be the last option to use as a data transport. All the added soap 'tags' make it quite slow when large sets of data are passed back and forth. In all honesty, Adobe cant do anything about this since its the soap protocol that makes it slow. Since remoting and FDS both use a binary format(very small foot print), it should be what Adobe pushes since its the most efficient mode of data transport. The IDE could be better, but it is already much better than what we had in the 1.0 1.5 days. I agree, the documention could be better. The use of shared objects is perfect what you are asking.

I'm using them now and it's ok, but figuring it out wasn't nearly as easy as the Flex Data Services.

99% of what you want to do can be accomplished, the only thing that i see is
the blur effect that you want. I am sure it can be done, but it will not be
an easy task.
If most of what the user has to do is entering data into forms you can use
the built in validators to 'highlight' invalid entries.

that I can call from anywhere and it will grey out and

passed in.
Am I hoping for too much?

Set the parent containers of the other 'components'

attribute to a
bindable var or even a state, and then when that
specific button is
clicked,
set the var to false or in the case of using states,
just change
the state.
Either way, that should accomplish what you are
describing.

Basically I want a popup that's not a popup, but

Thoughts on the best way to acheive this?

Re: [flexcoders] Warning/Error Hints
I am going to assume that you are talking about an input form(although you may not be), you can use the built in validators to validate the form elements as the user navigates the form.

Re: [flexcoders] List Control with checkbox items
here is a couple of ideas. (I didnt test these, but either 'should work')
1. have a function tied to the click event of the checkbox that adds that
index to the selectedItems of the list control
2. when submitting the info, loop through the list and check to see if any
check boxes are checked.
option 1 would mean you would need to change how your itemRenderer is built,
but it should work.

dataProvider={parentDocument.ro.getListData.lastResult.CONTROL_CODES}
labelField=TABLFLD id=lstControlCodes
rendererIsEditor=true itemRenderer=mx.controls.CheckBox
/mx:List
The problem here is that the checkboxes do not relate to the actual
selected status of the items. For example, if I click 3 different items
without holding down the control key, all 3 items have checkboxes, but only
one (the last) is highlighted in blue.. meaning it's the only one REALLY
selected as far as the list control is concerned.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: flash remoting
Thats not how remoting works. By sending an object to the server, the
gateway translates it into a or many structures that is in the argument
scope of CF.
to pass a string to a CFC do this:
public function sendToCFC():void{
var cfObj:Object = {input:source.text};
myFlashRemote.echoString(cfObj);
}
Now what this does is send an AS object through the gateway that will inturn
translate this into a structure with input as an argument with the value of
the send textfield's text.
Now, when you return something from the CFC, its best to bind that to a
Bindable variable.
In this case I would create a bindable var called returnString:String and in
my result function do this.
public function setReturnString(event:ResultEvent):void{
returnString = event.result as String;
}
To get to the result of your CFC call, a result function needs to be
specified or else the app will not know what to do with the result.
Here is your code changed to show how it all works.

The XMLListCollection works fine when there is only 1 node of content
in my source XML. However, I need to process the XML to get
the data part of the ComboBox.

Re: [flexcoders] How to bind a SharedObject to a dataprovider

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Using data in an Array Collection
the item param is row data, what is in that row of the array collection and
the column is that column in the grid.
basically what happens in this particular labelFunction is that it looks at
a specific field in the array collection and determine its value, then it
sets a string to be returned and displayed in that column for that row. You
could return a number, boolean etc just by changing the return type of the
function.
make sense?

So, I have written this code like this:
mx:DataGrid id=DG dataProvider={myDataProvider} creationComplete=*
DG.rowCount=DG.dataProvider.length*
But it doesn't work: *DG.dataProvider.length* return 0.
I have tried with the callLater:
private function *resizeDG*():void {
var dataLength:String = DG.dataProvider.length;
*DG.rowCount = DG.dataProvider.length*;
}
mx:DataGrid id=DG dataProvider={myDataProvider}
creationComplete=callLater(*resizeDG*);
The problem remains...
I have placed the *resizeDG* function in the creationComplete of the main
component... and the problem remains...
*But*, if I create a button that calls the *resizeDG*, yes!, my dataGrid
grows to the correct number of lines !
Thus, my problem is: how to invoke my function when the dataGrid is
displayed ?
Why the creationComplete doesn't work ?...

Re: [flexcoders] FormItem adds extra space on the left . . .
Dont use the form or formItem tags, use a grid to layout your form. On 2/9/07, crumpelfungus [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: *Does anyone know how to control the space within a FormItem?* If I have a FormItem and then add a RadioButton (or any other control for that matter), I always get a bunch of extra space to the left of the control. That space cannot be influenced or manipulated with any of the available style settings for either the control or the FormItem. My problem is that I have to mimick an existing GUI, and for the purpose I would like to be able to figure this out. Any ideas how to get rid of that extra space? I've tried paddingLeft of the container (Form) and the FormItem and the control, but so far no luck. *[. . . code snippet . . .]* mx:Form width=100% paddingTop=0 paddingLeft=0 mx:RadioButton label=I agree width=175 paddingLeft=2/ mx:FormItem horizontalAlign=left labelWidth=0 paddingLeft=0 borderThickness=0 left=0 id=formitem2 mx:RadioButton label=I disagree width=175 paddingLeft=0 paddingBottom=0 paddingRight=0 paddingTop=0 left=0 id=radiobutton1/ /mx:FormItem mx:FormItem mx:LinkButton id=disagreeTextLink label=View the attached document fontWeight=normal width=175 paddingLeft=0/ /mx:FormItem /mx:Form -- http://indeegrumpee.spaces.live.com/
Re: [flexcoders] Re: FormItem adds extra space on the left . . .
If you need to have complete control over how the form is laid out, I wouldn't use the form container, I would use something else. I am not sure if you are aware of this, but you can use other containers inside a formItem tag, i.e. a HBox or VBox... etc.. but that will not solve your issue of taking the padding from the left side.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: filterFunction
if you want, I can post how I iterate through a collection which should get you started. On 2/9/07, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was just about to post the same question before I saw this and thought I'd ride this one out to see where it goes.

Re: [flexcoders] basic exception handling
there is a fault attribute of the HTTPService tag that you can set to a
function. that will catch any faults from the call.

All,
When I am catching exceptions the catch seems to be ignored and the
actionscript error window pops up. For example if I have a simple
service like this:
mx:HTTPService
id=simpleService
url=http://example.com/someservice/;
useProxy=false
method=GET
And I have a try catch block like this with one statement inside. If I
comment out this statement no errors...so I know this statement is
causing the error:
try {
simpleService.send();
}
catch(errObject:Error) {
trace(Error +errObject.message);
}
The scenarios that throw errors (for example TypeError: Error #1034)
opens the actionscript error window and the trace does not appear.
What do I need to be doing so the exception is consumed in the catch
and no error window? Thanks,
Dan
