Re: [flexcoders] Bind ComboBox to returning XML (HOW TO)
Here is another alternative:
declare an HTTPService like this:
mx:HTTPService
id=listService
url=path/to/list.jsp
method=POST
showBusyCursor=true
fault=onFault(event);
result=onResult(event);
useProxy=false/
and an array collection
mx:ArrayCollection id=designerAC/
and in your actionscript you create the following handler:
private function onResult(event : ResultEvent) : void {
if (event.result.response.designers == null ||
event.result.response.designers.designer == null) {
designerAC = new ArrayCollection(); // empty array collection
} else if (event.result.response.designers.designer is ObjectProxy) {
designerAC = new
ArrayCollection([event.result.response.designers.designer]);
} else {
designerAC = event.result.response.designers.designer as ArrayCollection;
}
}
and your combo box would look like something like this:
mx:ComboBox dataProvider={designerAC} labelField=name/
That should give you an idea.
Hope that helped
Fidel.

[flexcoders] Barcode Scanners and Flex

Not trivial task, can be done though, but what's worse you will need to find a way of delivering scanned data into Flex interface. Even less trivial task.

The back end logic (in nascent stage) is written in java/spring/hibernate, but I want my GUI to be in FLEX/AIR. So far my understanding is FLEX cannot communicate with java without use of some web server. Since a POS appliance is very low ended I do not wish to use any server. Is there any way I can make FLEX communicate with POJO. I am very new to flex, so it would be helpful if you could provide some examples too. Hi Raj, You will have to create a server side in Java and then make Flex/AIR communicate with your server side. Since I have created a POS in Flex+Java, I would like to share my experience with you. First, the communication between Java and Flex should be just like any ordinary Flex+Java application. Where you will have troubles is when you need to print from a specific Computer that has it's own POS printer. That part was the trickier one. In order to solve that problem, I had to create a print server. Since I was using Java, I just created the print server in Java. This print server would have a mapping of printer port to ip. So, whenever a request is coming from a certain IP, the server knows which port to send the print command to. On the server side, I recommend you either use BlazeDS or the Hessian protocol. Since I have developed the application in Flex 2, I decided to use the Hessian protocol, which is relatively fast and easy to setup. I hope this information was useful. Fidel.

Hi Raj, If you are going to use Adobe AIR, then you don't need to create the java pojos. Use the database engine that comes with Adobe Flex 3/AIR. There is a POS application in adobe marketplace http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetailloc=en_usextid=1562518 This application was created using Adobe AIR, and it uses a standalone database. My POS is part of an ERP, and it uses Adobe Flex as opposed to AIR. You can also print from Flex, but it is a bit primitive and you have to select a printer everytime you call the print function. I don't really know how plex works, as I have not tried it. I also don't have much experience with Adobe AIR. I have worked on a document management system, but it did not involve any interfaces with hardware. My suggestion would be to contact the author of plex and ask him how he has done it. But, if what you want is a standalone POS then skip the Java part and develop everything using Adobe AIR. Fidel.

I think I will code everything using AIR, only thing I need to check is hardware interfacing and transaction management. Hum... I thought you wanted to develop a standalone application. If what you want is a multithreaded application, then you will have to implement the server side using Java. Then you can write a Flex application that runs on the browser if you so wish, or/and an AIR application to run on the desktop. But, that will have to communicate with a server that will handle all the transactions for you. Flash is meant to run on the client side. Fidel.

Therefore, I thought I'd ask the group to point me in the direction to solid documentation on the best methods on making a Flex app truly skinnable, from the fonts, (English to Hebrew) to colors, and images, etc. based upon manual user selection or auto based upon best guess of global location automatically, or both. Seems monumental, but someone's done it and it's written somewhere I assume. Any help is appreciated. Hi David, I don't know of any manual that tells you how to design a flex app, but I have read all the manuals on how to skin flex applications. All the rest came from experience in designing web applications and from checking skins created by other people. I studied every single skin I found on the net and then I just tried to create a desktop application in a browser. I think it will all came with experience. The more you practice, the more you learn how to use skins and where to use. My first Flex application has used quite a lot of images, and all the latest ones I use a few skins and css to decorate my applications. If I would have to redo every single application I have worked on, I would do it differently this time, cause I have learned quite a few tricks that improve efficiency and friendliness. Just start with the Flex manuals and I think the rest comes with experience. Maybe other people have something to add, but I don't really think there is a way of teaching how to design UIs. I think the best way is to study other people's work. Well, those are my 2 cents. Fidel.

How can I generate and send directely a rtf document with AIR ? Can I just send text, with font and font size, without canvas ? Hi Jean, That is not currently possible with Flex or AIR. I have had the same problem in the past. The way I solved it was as follows. I installed the POS printers on each point of sales, and made it shareable. On the server side, I created a servlet that would send the request to the correct printer. I mapped an ip address to a printer address in the database. So, whenever I point of sales requested a print job, the server would read the IP address of the machine making the request, and would retrieve the printer address so that it could send the print data to it. The print data is all ASCII, as I was using Parallel Port printers. The solution would be the same for a USB printer as well. So, my advise is just for you to give it a try. We have modified the application to use the Hessian protocol now, but you can also implement it using BlazeDS. Hope that info was helpful. All the best, Fidel.

I agree with you with regards to Flex lending itself to application development. That is what I use it for. For web sites, since I use content management systems, I use Ajax or dynamically generated html from server pages. Even though you can create web sites with Flash or Flex, that doesn't mean you should create it all in Flash or Flex. You can do a mix of html and swf, though.

If you want the full HTTP verb set you've got to use a proxy. Flash Player only speaks GET and POST, due to legacy issues where browsers used to only speak GET and POST (and some still do as far as I know) and the Flash Player uses the browser's network stack. So, without a proxy, it's only GET and POST. With a proxy, it's whatever HTTP supports. Ok, thanks! I just wanted to test them with the restful webservices. I have decided to use BlazeDS. Thanks for the replies. Fidel.

Also, it's not just a matter of copying as some have said. We should always try to take whats best out there and give it our personal slant. As for licensing, well whats the problem? Yes, I prefer OSource or open spec products (PDF for example), but not every product benefits from this kind of use agreement. And at the end of the day it costs nothing to read the specs and see what can be gained. I have also thought about creating a take on the Ribbon, simply because its such an effective UI. More the principal than the exact implementation is whats important. IMO, if there's a 120 page document discussing the use and ideology behind this UI then I think everyone should read it, if nothing else just to get an insight into what is an effect piece of design. (that goes for all tech documents that we can gain insight and knowledge from) hope that didnt sound like a rant, I just think people should keep an open mind, especially where MS are concerned. It's just to easy to know them (ok, they are hateful agreed, but must get it right every now and then) I totally agree with you.

[flexcoders] Help with Skins with different sizes
Hi everyone, I have created a button skin for up, down and over. Each one has a different size. They were all created in Flash. When I import them over in Flex, they seem to be fixed to one single size. The size of the button was supposed to increase when the mouse is over the button, and decrease when the mouse is down. Is there a way to handle these three skins with different sizes? Are the skins meant to be the same size? Can't we do like in Flash, where we can use different sizes? How do I do this? Hope someone is able to help me. Thanks in advance. Fidel.

Re: [flexcoders] JRE included in Ubuntu 7.10 mxmlc uses 100% CPU and infinite RAM when compiling .MXML, but not .AS
On Feb 20, 2008 4:22 AM, David Barrett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi, this might already be well known, but it took me a long time to find
the answer so I'm posting this lesson to the list in the hope that it
helps others. The short of it is the JRE included by default in Ubuntu
7.10 needs to be upgraded to the JDK from Sun in order to compile MXML.
For a more detailed explanation, see below:
(I originally wrote this up as a bug report, but I discovered the fix
while writing it.)
I've been using MXMLC for a while now (http://bottomupflash.com) on
Windows and Mac, and I'm a huge fan. But now that I switch to Ubuntu
7.10, I'm unable to compile even the most basic .mxml files.
Specifically, if I run MXMLC from the command line with no parameters,
it works fine.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/flex2/bin$ ./mxmlc
Loading configuration file /home/dbarrett/flex2/frameworks/flex-config.xml
Error: a target file must be specified
Use 'mxmlc -help' for information about using the command line.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/flex2/bin$
Similarly, if I compile a basic .as file, it works fine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/flex2/bin$ cat Test.as
package {
public class Test { }
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/flex2/bin$ ./mxmlc Test.as
Loading configuration file /home/dbarrett/flex2/frameworks/flex-config.xml
/home/dbarrett/flex2/bin/Test.swf (462 bytes)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/flex2/bin$
But if I try to compile even the most basic .mxml file, it pegs the CPU
at 100% forever. Even worse, after about 30s it starts consuming
massive amounts of memory -- allocating hundreds of MB/s until all
physical and virtual RAM is exhausted.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/flex2/bin$ cat Test.mxml
?xml version=1.0?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; xmlns=*
/mx:Application
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/flex2/bin$ ./mxmlc Test.mxml
Loading configuration file
/home/dbarrett/flex2/frameworks/flex-config.xml
(hangs here forever at 100% CPU and all available RAM)
As for the Java version, I'm using gij 4.2.1:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/flex2/bin$ java -version
java version 1.5.0
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.2.1 (Ubuntu 4.2.1-5ubuntu5)
Aha, but now I realize if I install sun-java6-jdk it works just fine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/flex2/bin$ java -version
java version 1.6.0_03
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/flex2/bin$
Whew, problem solved. I hope this helps!
Hum the first thing I checked on Ubuntu was if it had the jdk from
sun installed. I never liked the other jdks. Don't know why.
But, it is interesting to know about that. That way, if someone one
happens to come across that same problem, then I know what the problem
is.

Whenever i refresh a page it goes back to the HOME page.Is there anything wrong in the coding... For example there is a user registration page...when i refresh the page it goes back to the HOME page.. Does anyone have any idea?? please post it.. Hi there, Flash movies work diferently than html pages. When you refresh a page, you are doing just that, refreshing it. A Flex application (or swf movie per se) works like an application embedded in the browser. If you refresh the page, it will restart the application. As an anology, it is similar to closing an application in windows and then reopening it. Instead of refreshing the page, you should add some functionality to your Flex application that would allow it to reset to a state you wanted to. You could have a refresh button that would clear a form, for example. Or would move the a different state. Hope that helped. All the best, Fidel.
