Enterprise RIA Development with Macromedia FlexHas anyone figured out a decent way to load google adwords (preferably google image ads) into a flex app? Thanks, Jamie
[flexcoders] can i store a dynamically loaded image?
I am grabbing images from an http service at runtime and displaying them in flex: myPic.load(url); Works great, the picture loads in. But after I load it in once, I'd like to store it so I don't need to query the http again if I need the image. (I'm making a buddy list type component that shows the buddys picture, the pic has to be loaded at runtime but ideally I'd like to only grab it once and then store it in flex) I'd like to be able to do something like this: BuddyObject.pic = pic(url); and then whenever I needed it: myPic.load(BuddyObject.pic); as opposed to myPic.load(url); Any ideas? Thanks!
[flexcoders] tightening between multiple lines in a mx:text object
I'm using an embedded font in an mx:text object. When the text goes into multiple lines, there's a large amount of space between each line. Almost looks like it's double or triple spaced. Anyway I can tighten this up? Or is it a function of my embedded font? Please help! Thanks! -Jamie

[flexcoders] can you unload an swf file from an mx:image control?
I've been loading flash movies into an mx:image control for display just fine. Problem comes when the user quits during playback. He heads out to a new state but the flash swf file and it's sound keep on playing until they're done. I've tried removeChild, .enabled = false, and other stuff, but I can't get the movie to quit midway. Will I have to load into an swfLoader instead of an mx:image control in order to kill it midway through playing?

[flexcoders] reconnecting an mx:producer component
With a mx:consumer component, I can unsubscribe() when I don't need it anymore, and subscribe() when I want it turned back on. With a mx:producer component it looks like I can use disconnect() when I don't need it anymore, but I don't see any sort of connect() function to turn it back on like I can with a consumer. Any help?

[flexcoders] Re: overriding Button's style sheet
Hey Jester,
So I came across your blog entry at http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2006/07/flex_chronicles_22.html
about buttons being defaulted to Bold and how that
messes up embedded fonts and I'm having that exact problem.
Thanks so much for bloggin about it, but I'm not
sure where I can access the Button's style attributes so I can overwrite
them.
When I put the
Button{ embedFonts: true; fontWeight:
normal; fontFamily: oldSkool;}
in the mx:Style section of my component I
get a compiler warning that says, "CSS type selectors are not supported in
components." and it still doesn't work.
So my question is where can I find the Button's
style attributes in a file so I can overwrite them.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate all you do
for the flex community.
Jamie

[flexcoders] background discoloration when using embedded fonts
When I create a text field and use an embedded font I get a discoloration in the text field. Instead of being transparent outside of the text, it's discolored and looks bad. Often I can click on it in the Flash Player and it will go away, often times it won't. Any advice? It really looks bad. Thanks!

[flexcoders] getting the height of a text object
I have my mx:Text component, myText. It has a fixed width and the height varies depending on the length of the string i load it up with. I'm trying to capture myText.height right after I load a string into it, in order to add "\n" characters to the front of shorter strings so they are centered top to bottom. Problem is the myText.height property doesn't seem to update for a while after loading in a new string. Everytime I capture it I end up getting the height of the previous string loaded in instead of the current one. I've tried validatenow() and all the other validate functions to update that .height value immediately, with no luck. Any ideas how I can capture that value? or better ways to go about centering a string of random length top to bottom?

[flexcoders] idiotic flex fires 2 event handlers for buttons of a substate !!!
Say I have Button 1 in my base state with click handler = "doJob1()" If I make a new state "state 2" based on the base state, and change Button 1's click handler property to "doJob2()"... all is well. Now I make a new state, "state 3" based on "state 2". I change Button 1's click handler property to "doJob3()". Now when I click the button, both doJob3() AND doJob2() get fired off!! Obviously this causes a mess that in a particular instance tonight was very difficult to debug especially considering I'd changed the click handler between states from base state to state 2 with no problems. What the heck is that crap? Thanks for wasting 3 hours of my time Flex!! __._,_.___ -- 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 Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Firefox incompatible with ExternalInterface?
I want to load a website from within my Flex application to a new browser
window. When I use:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(request,_blank);
It works perfectly in both IE and Firefox. Problem is I need the window to
pop up behind the flex app, so the flex user isn't disturbed by it. So now
I'm using an ExternalInterface class to call some javascript I have in my
html wrapper.
In my flex:
---
var f:String = goNewWin;
ExternalInterface.call(f,url);
In my Javascript:
--
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript
function goNewWin(url) {
var
TheNewWin=window.open(url,'TheNewpop','toolbar=1,location=1,directories=1,st
atus=1,menubar=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');
TheNewWin.blur(); //this function sends the new window to the background
}
/SCRIPT
---
This works perfectly in IE for all links. Unfortunately, in Firefox there
are problems. Some webpages pop up and stay in the background, others pop
up in front. All of them cause my Flex App to pseudo-crash, my backend can
still hear messages from it, but the client-side loses all ability to
receive messages back, as well as most intra-component event listening. In
short, the externalInterface call crashes my App when its running in
Firefox.
Any ideas? Thanks so much.

[flexcoders] how can i display a background image in Eclipse Flex Builder?
I embedded an swf file to be used as my background image. It works just fine. But it doesn't show up when I'm designing in Eclipse Flex Builder. A solid blue background shows up instead This is making things difficult. It used to show up, but since I changed the image it won't anymore. I really need to see it while designing. Any suggestions? It'd be nice if I could see other embedded images in the Eclipse design software as well.

Re: [flexcoders] Very few sound files import properly
Title: Enterprise RIA Development with Macromedia Flex
Has anyone had an issue with very few sound files
importing properly into flex/flash player?
20kbps, 11khz wav files (though they say they are
mp3s under properties) seem to work. A few higher quality mp3s seem to
work. But 95% of other files either cut off, distort, or in most cases
don't play at all. I can't find any settings in Windows Sound Recorder
that work for re-encoding them.
I'm importing them in this fashion:
mx:SoundEffect
id="loudtickSound"
target="{this}"
complete="handleSoundLoaded()" source=http://myurl.com/honk_x.wav autoLoad="true"
useDuration="false"/
and then playing them:
loudtickSound.play();
Thanks for any help.

[flexcoders] Re: Very few sound files import properly
Ok so I'm first using Windows Sound Recorder to convert all files to a high quality PCM (something AudioCatalyst can handle) and then using AudioCatalyst to convert into mp3s of various quality rates that Flex seems to be able to handle. Acceptable... but I'm still confused why flex can't handle native PCM wav files. __._,_.___ -- 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] disable I-beam in textArea, this should be an EASY ONE!
I have textAreas that I don't want to be selectable/display an I-beam on mouseOver. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get rid of the i-beam on the mouseover over a textArea. textArea doesn't have a 'selectable' attribute the way text does. Any quick help? Thanks so much.
