  QUESTION:
  Using MXML you can set width and height with percent values.
  How do I do this with ActionScript only?

  WHY:
  Because I'm dynamically generating a Form, filled with nested HBoxes and
  Vboxes containing InputFields, Buttons that I want to stretch as
  as the Form's container changes dimensions at times.

  Hope there is an elegant way.

Is this the response that we should all expect from someone asking

  My button renderer listens for the click event and then dispatches a
  custom event containing the row data and the renderer's configured
  action string. I guess there could be a cleaner way of doing this
  (overrinding the button's clickHandler method?) but I must admit that

  I understand what updateDisplayList does. I am simply confused as to
  why all the button renderers are being continually redrawn when their
  size, position and visual appearance haven't changed!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Funny appearance of TabNavigator icons

Can you be more specific.



Are you creating this in as/mxml?



Are the tabs being added at runtime?



Are the icons being assigned at runtime?



Etc..



Difficult to assist if we have no idea what might have led to this display?

  Objet : [flexcoders] Datagrid Button Renderer Performance


  Hi all,

  I have a simple button renderer (below) which I use in my datagrids.
  All seemed fine but I now have four of these button renderers in each
  row of my datagrid(s) and performance starts to suffer when there are
  many rows on display at once (my app can easily have a hundred or
  more rows on display in various datagrids).

  I've noticed that when a row's data changes, the updateDisplayList
  function is called on every button renderer in that row. Does anyone
  know why this is or how I can stop it happening? The row data does
  not affect the visual appearance of the button so there is no need to
  redraw it every time the row data changes. I'm thinking this
  constant redrawing of the buttons might be the cause of the
  performance issues as I could quite easily have, say, 400 button
  renderers on screen at once and the row data changes quite frequently.

  Any ideas?

  This is my button renderer:

  
  http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; initialize="init
  ();">
  
  
  
  

  Thanks,

  Nick.

Gordon,

True that their have been times I was required to use the stopPropagation's
as well but for the question at hand it did the job. I find it quite rare
that I need to use either, however sometimes you just can’t let the event
bubble or get through.

Sean,



Wow. That could put you in a pickle at a later date.

  I would like to chime in on this as well. I have practically re-written
the form classes to make them implement our "standard look and feel" all of
this should have been able to be done via sub-classing but SO MANY private
variables and functions prevented it, I basically copied and recreated all
the form classes for our application what w waist, can't wait to try to
update this stuff with the next version just updating them to have the hooks
for automation (Flex 2.0.1) has me concerned.

  Actually, preventDefault( ) does NOT prevent other listeners from
executing; this is what stopPropagation( ) and stopImmediatePropag ation()
do.

  preventDefault( ) simply sets the flag returned by isDefaultPrevented( )
to be true. However, some event-dispatching code in the Player or the
framework is written like this (and you can do the same thing in your apps):

  dispatchEvent( event);
  if (!event.isDefaultPr evented() )
  doSomethingByDefaul t();

  So calling preventDefault( ) prevents doSomethingByDefaul t() from being
executed. But doSomethingByDefaul t() is not a listener.

  Jason, this was an eye-opener!
  Till now I didn't realize that an event listener can cancel another

  exactly that.

  This is the way I should go with a PagableGrid.

As a follow up to the last response, take note of the

  Private methods and variables drive me nuts..

  For example, I'd like to make a simple DataGrid change: make headers

  (I need this behaviour because I'd like to have a paging DataGrid

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Are other developers hesitant to extend existing classes in Flex?

[Jason Hawryluk]

Danko,



See below extended datagrid and sample application to do what you want. I
realize it’s frustrating when you need to do things only to find yourself
blocked in the obvious way; but there is definitely more then one way to
skin a cat (so to speak).



I’m sure future versions of the flex framework will allow a more elegant
solutions for the day to day problems we are faced with. I too often find my
self perplexed at the reasoning to privatize certain functions and
properties; but more often then not, a work around can be found that does
not require one to rewrite the base components.



Frustration is part of the learning process. Things that seem obvious are
not always so.



Anyway, I hope the below code and sample set you on your way to
accomplishing your task.



cheers

  Private methods and variables drive me nuts..

  For example, I'd like to make a simple DataGrid change: make headers
  clickable without refreshing the grid (just toggle a sort icon).
  (I need this behaviour because I'd like to have a paging DataGrid
  which only propagates the sort column/direction info to a record-
  feching routine on a server)

  So, I try to remove a "collection.refresh();" line from
  the "sortByColumn()" function, but I can't - because it's private.

  Then, I try to make a new function called "sortByColumn2" (that's a
  copy of the first one, but without "refresh" stuff) and alter
  the "headerReleaseHandler" which calls it, but I can't - cause it's
  private.

  And finally, I am trying to add the following code to the
  constructor (yes, the constructor is public, huh.. :-))
  to "neutralize" the event listener:

  removeEventListener(DataGridEvent.HEADER_RELEASE,
  headerReleaseHandler,
  false, EventPriority.DEFAULT_HANDLER);

  ... but I can't cause "headerReleaseHandler" is private and can't be
  seen from a subclass!

  And then, I give up.. :-)

I think that if we could talk to a dll (Mac equivalent, Linux equivalent)
like via a local remote call type thing, then that would be the ultimate. I

d basically use any DB you like. Plus allot of other crazy stuff you could

  Objet : [flexcoders] disabling COPY in drag/drop operations


  Hi everybody,

  Here is an interesting issue. We have a datagrid where the user should
  be able to reorder items by dragging/dropping. everything is nice an
  easy, except when they hold "ctrl" it copies and messed up the whole
  list :(

  I have tried to add the dragover and etc event handlers and set
  "event.ctrlKey = false" in there, but it does nothing.

  Can somebody recommend something? this is one of those things that
  should be really easy but it is not. it is easy to disable move
  operation, but i want to do the opposite and force move while
  disabling copy. anybody?

  Thanks!



  

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Gordon Smith - Some Answers about the Datagrid

[Jason Hawryluk]

I think the community will play a large part in this as well as professional
component development companies. I’m sure as time goes on well have a RAD
set of components that you can drop in and run.



I’m working on a bunch of free stuff as well and would love to hear other
ideas for interesting components that make sense to the developer coming
from a VB/.net type background. Unfortunately I have limited time to
dedicate to it as my own work and family life take precedence.



I feel though it may be harder for developers coming from a VB background
that are used to having a plethora of ready available and affordable
components at their disposal; but are not up to speed on the object oriented
development methodologies nor have skill sets required to really rapidly
grasp the whole extend the framework type development.



I know of at least one professional developer about ready to release a very
interesting package for Flex. I’m not sure how the 3rd party eco system for
Flex is shaping up, but I’d have to imagine that things are being worked on.



In any case I think the best thing for Flex at this stage is for component
developers 3rd party and experts to concentrate on the meat and potatoes and
leave the gravy for later.



Flex is still very young, it took VB et all until version 3.0 to really get
a good eco system built up. Rome wasn’t built in a day.



Oh and to me, *extensibility* is key for Flex's future.

  As for copyrights vs. licenses

  If you own the code (which if you wrote it you probably do), then you own
the copyright.  A license is simply giving someone permission (limited or
otherwise) to use the copyrighted material.  If you give the copyright to
the public domain, then no one owns the copyright and thus there is no
reason why someone would have to license the copyrighted material.

  As far as practices and standards for people like us, we can talk the
issue into the ground on what we want, but the bottom line is that if
there's no licensing statement with the code, people aren't safe using it
(legally speaking).  If you want to be nice, include one.  If you're
paranoid, email the author.  Lastly, you don't need to be a lawyer to write
a license, especially if it's really simple.  For example, if you want to
let people use code as they see fit, simply state in plain English (or any
other language for that matter) something like "You can use this for
anything" or "I give this to the public domain."  If you're paranoid you
could include, "I am not responsible for any harm this code does to your
computer."  Done and done, no lawyer or standard needed.

  Lastly, if you're employed by a company you might not have the right to
give the copyright or licenses because (usually) anything you write on
company time is owned by the company.  (Don't ask me to define "on company
time.")  This is sometimes also true for freelance work, but not usually.

  Personally, I'd say look for the licenses, state what you want your code
used for in layman's terms or use a standard, and email the author if you're
confused.

You can count the same for me. If I post it with source there is no
obligation unless specifically stated otherwise. That is at least in my
mind. However if some of you folks would like to see a more formal process
for this stuff I’m willing to adhere as long as it’s not to laborious.

  I'd be interested in what a more legal understanding is, but for anything
that I post that includes source code, it's my understanding that you can go
and do whatever you want with it. Include it in other products, yadda yadda.
Basically if I don't include licensing terms I'm giving you whatever terms
you want. If you went and sold my code I'd be pissed and I'd try to go
directly to whoever you sold it to and tell them that it's free. But if you
use my code in some commercial project, more power to you.

  This probably isn't the "correct" way of viewing it, and it's more likely
closer to the "if I don't include a license then it's still protected" model
in some way or another. But often I'm too lazy to include a licensing block,
or more accurately, I'm too lazy to go out and research what the right
license is for "give this code away".

  So for me personally, if there's no licensing information in my code that
means I don't care what you do. If I don't want you to use the source code I
won't release it.

RE: [flexcoders] Apollo features

[Jason Hawryluk]

"embedded database" is a type of database destined for real time systems.
They can also be embedded in a .net program for example. When I mentioned
"embedded database" I was referring to the type. Typically they don't have
any server requirements unlike common RDMS (SQL Server, Oracle etc..).

All you require is the dll (as is the case for sqlite on windows) and are
usually platform independent.

I had mentioned it as they are an ideal choice for offline/disconnected data
storage. Giving you the power of a database without all the baggage that
comes with typical databases.

Just wanted to clear that up for everyone. I have no idea of the inner
workings of the Apollo product with regards to data storage or formats. or
anything else about it for that matter. Hoping to get on beta though ;)

  It uses existing code for closeable and draggable tabs, and adds in
functionality for scrolling tabs if there are too many, and also displaying
the drop-down list on the right side. No source code yet, but that will come
in another day or two after I clean it up a bit.

RE: [flexcoders] Apollo features

[Jason Hawryluk]

I think all the speculation is based off of the fact that it's an exciting
product concept. Apollo will/could create a diverse set of new opportunities
for us all. The x features we request multiply those opportunities
significantly.



Many users are still disconnected. Nomad users are still common place. Most
sales people are getting out o the road in order to create opportunities as
opposed to staying in the office. Few rural areas are 100% covered by high
speed (wifi,gprs,gsm,3G) access. The concept of disconnected apps is
becoming more and more intriguing for business and the demands for such apps
more and more numerous.



The prospect of using an embedded db like sqlite(open source, cross platform
dll) to store data, Apollo being able to natively exploit that data directly
on the client when disconnected, and update the central data store when
connected; is one simple but enormous opportunity.



However if we can't talk to the dll from Apollo directly we need to create a
proxy exe to do it. This introduces more code to create, maintain, and
distribute.



I'm seriously hoping that Apollo is not just for partially disconnected
applications.

  It seems to me there is a lot of speculation about Apollo, based on
  very little actual knowledge. All this speculation of "Apollo must
  have x feature" seems premature.

  I don't Grok Apollo and don't expect to until there is an actual
  product available or some documentation to read. Why would I want to
  deploy a web app to the desktop?

  The concept of partially connected applications was intriguing 10+
  years ago, when you were only connected in the office. Lotus Notes
  already implemented the partially connected app thing
  wonderfully. These days the only time you aren't connected is on an
  airplane.

  Is Apollo = partially connected apps? I don't know, but that's my
  best interpretation to date.
  Is Apollo something beyond partially connected apps? I have no idea.

  All that said, maybe this thread should move over to the
  ApolloCoders list. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/apollocoders/

RE: [flexcoders] Apollo features

I quote "I think support for dll’s is important (com, managed, other)."

 

How does this equate to me saying it's useless? I meant the “other” as being 
mac and linux equivalents. I don’t disagree with the fact that cross platform 
is important. The advantage over sticking with VB/.net etc.. is user 
experience. The price of that change has to coincide with the previous 
investments made in the other tiers of existing applications.

 

You said "Just because 80% of business applications are built on a proprietary 
platform doesn't mean that it's the best idea to continue building on such a 
limiting platform."

 

Perhaps, perhaps not. Businesses don’t think this way. A business that has 
invested in a solution wants to get maximum return from that investment. For 
the most part they don’t care if it’s platform specific or proprietary, as long 
as the solution fits their specific requirements and environment. I would have 
an extremely difficult time convincing a business to use Apollo strictly 
because it’s cross platform. 

 

If these were the only bullets I had to defend a proposal, I would hesitate to 
get involved at all.

  You never said anything about this in your previous email. All you said in 
your previous email was, basically, that if you couldn't run dll's Apollo was 
useless. My response was targeted toward that.

  Even considering your new statements, I still stand by my original opinion 
that the value is being cross-platform. Just because 80% of business 
applications are built on a proprietary platform doesn't mean that it's the 
best idea to continue building on such a limiting platform. Don't get me 
wrong... Apollo is also a closed platform, but at least it will run on Windows, 
Mac and Linux. If a company isn't interested in investing in a project that has 
these potential long-term advantages, then Apollo might not be for them anyway.

  If a company is interested in sticking with Windows proprietary software, I 
don't see the advantages of Apollo over, say, VB... Or just sticking with the 
software they're currently using.

  To be honest... all this talk I've been hearing about Apollo being

RE: [flexcoders] Apollo features

[Jason Hawryluk]

Not sure but I hope your not implying I don't build tiered enterprise apps.
I'll assume not. What you’ve stated is why dll access is important. This was
the whole point, separation of the application tiers. Not every app lends it
self to be a service oriented architecture. All this depends on the type of
application your creating, and the infrastructure your user(s) can support.



Chat, IM, mail, photo retouch (insert a gazillion others), type apps quickly
become impossible. I don't think Apollo is meat to target only enterprise
level applications.



How does your app function in a disconnected fashion?

If your app is service based, what is the point of using Apollo as opposed
to Flex? Why break out of the browser?



“A number of people I know are thrilled with the fact that there is no data
access in flex, which forces people to at least try to adhere to a proper
structure.”



You’ve lost me with the above comment. Layering an application into
different tiers is an architectural design decision that implies separation.
It has nothing to do with the technology or tools used to build those tiers.



Your “proper structure” implies different tools. What is the benefit of
this? I can only see having to train people on multiple tools, maintaining
multiple code bases, updates, unit testing problems, performance problems..
the list goes on and on.

  Haven't replied too often, but this one struck a chord.

  In real enterprise-level applications, you are split up into tiers. you
have presentation layer (which apollo/flex/flash/etc fits very nicely in),
and you have your back-end with business logic and the storage). A number of
people I know are thrilled with the fact that there is no data access in
flex, which forces people to at least try to adhere to a proper structure.

  Now, in the situation at hand, you'd use apollo to make your pretty
applications which all they do serve as a frontend, and they'd just query
your services to get the actual data they're working with. This way, you can
have anything you want in the backend, the same dll's and the same business
logic which can be written in .net/java/vb or whatever else fancies you.
This way the businesses keep their existing investments, and get a much
better and more user-friendly (hopefully, if designed so) front-end which
runs as a desktop app instead of a browser.

  ... am I missing anything?

[flexcoders] RE: ItemRenderer Problem

[Jason Hawryluk]

Your problem is in the data override you need to let the itemrenderer
retrieve the data, so in this override you require a super.data = oItem; 

  

I have not tested, and this is just by looking at the function.

  Objet : ItemRenderer Problem


  Hello, I'm a Flex newbie in need of some help.

  I'm grabbing an array of data from a Web service and displaying it in a
List component. On the Flex side I store the data in an ArrayCollection, the
name of which I set as the Data Provider for my list. I have a field called
"Display" which I set as the List's labelField. 

  Everything works fine, but then I wanted to get a little fancier and vary
the color of each line based on another field called "MemberStatus." To do
that I wrote an ItemRenderer component which contains a label that I use to
vary the text display.

  In the itemRenderer I override the "set data" function, expecting that I
can then use the supplied Object parameter to reference both the "Display"
field to set as the text of the label, and the "MemberStatus" field to
determine the text color I want for the label. Unfortunately, things don't
work as I think they should. If I override "set data" as follows:

  override public function set data(oItem:Object):void
  {
  displayItem.text = oItem.Display;
  (Followed by additional code using oItem.MemberStatus to determine the
color)
  }

  I get the following error:

  ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property Display not found on String and
there is no default value.
  at memberListRenderer/set data()
  at
mx.controls::List/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::setupRendererF

  at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply()
  at mx.core::UIComponent/::callLaterDispatcher2()
  at mx.core::UIComponent/::callLaterDispatcher()

  Here's a sample of the output of the web service:

   
  http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns="http://tempuri.org/";>
  
  414 
  Doe, Jane 
  O 
  
  
  109 
  Smith, John 
  C 
  
  

  If I just insert the above data exactly "as is" in a test program as type
mx:Model I have no problem; the oItem.Display and oItem.MemberStatus fields
are "legal" and yield the results I want. But when I use the web service I
get the error. 

  I can set the label in the itemRenderer to have a data provider of
{data.Display} and it works using the web service. But that doesn't do me
any good because I have no way to access the MemberStatus field and alter
the color. Obviously the problem has something to do with the oItem field in
"set data" not being what I think it is. Does anyone know what I'm doing
wrong?

  TIA,
  Robb

  Objet : [flexcoders] Help Extending TabNavigator/ButtonBar


  Hi All,

  I've posted this to the flex forums as well. I'd like help with ideas
  on how to extend TabNavigator to include a "more" button, for when
  there are too many tabs.

  I'm a bit in the dark when it comes to depthy depths of the Flex
  framework, and need to make some interesting changes to a TabNavigator
  component in an application under development.

  In this case it's a single TabNavigator, but with a *lot* of tabs.
  Enough for them to be truncated down to the minimum (30 pixels or so),
  and just fit on the screen. The problem is with the squishy truncation
  part. I don't want that to happen.

  I want the tabs to match the width of the text on their respective
  titles. In addition to this, the final tab needs to be a "more" tab,
  which should "scroll across" in effect, revealing the remaining tabs.
  The button is prepended and the same effect achieved in reverse when
  the user wants to return to the tabs at the start.

  I'm looking at the Source for the ButtonBar right now, but I'm not
  getting very far in terms of understanding where to look. I know it
  sources buttons from it's dataProvider.

  Is it possible to draw these buttons offscreen and have them slide into
view?

  That said, does anyone know a clever way of accomplishing this or know
  someplace I could look where it's already implemented?

  Any clues/hints/ideas would be much appreciated =)

  Best Regards,
  Ciarán

[flexcoders] Tree Multiple Drag and Drop (Sorting ?)

[Jason Hawryluk]

When dragging multiple items in the tree control the array is being sorted
or reversed (depends on it’s mood I suppose). I fully understand the reason
behind building the array in the order selected by the user when using ctrl,
but if I select top to bottom or bottom to top with shift; it's being
sorted...

This kind of makes it difficult to keep a backend version of the tree up to
date properly. I.e. sending updates as they happen as opposed to sending the
entire structure. I’m using a XMLListCollection here so that could be
related.

Any trick to turn this off/override it, without delving into the deepest
inner workings of the tree control?

There are several other problems I’m encountering with this control, which I
’ll post about when I’ve figured out a bit what is happening.

Has anyone managed to get this baby working flawlessly.

Thanks

  Setting the horizontal scroll policy to auto produces 2 scroll bars.
  My datagrid is in a vbox (width=100% to fill the panel).  My
  datagrid's width is 100% to fill the vbox.

  When you set horizontal scroll policy to auto it creates a huge
  datagrid that will no longer fit into the vbox.  So now I get a scroll
  bar on the vbox.  To use the vertical scroll bar on the datagrid I
  need to scroll the vbox horizontal scroll bar all the way to the right.

  Still no fix for this problem.  Any thoughts.


  This is an image with the VBOX width = 100%, with the datagrid inside
  with a width=100%; the horizontal scroll policy is set to auto on the
  datagrid.

No use getting bent out of shape over language constructs. It’s a tool, and

RE: [flexcoders] KeyBoardEvents

[Jason Hawryluk]

You need to make sure your container has the focus



//from the parent of the container

GroundPlan.setFocus();





//or try this after you have set the listeners.

setFocus();

RE: [flexcoders] Lexical scoping of variable declarations not working?

[Jason Hawryluk]

kind of like you can't do this



public function clearTargetData(x:string):void{}

public function clearTargetData():void{}



which most support also, but I give Adobe the benefit of the doubt this is a
completely new flex, built from the ground up, and they have done a bang up
job.

I can do with out these things, perhaps they'll implement this type of stuff
in a later version.

  Objet : [flexcoders] Lexical scoping of variable declarations not working?


  I'm seeing some odd behavior with the AS3 compiler. I say it's "odd"
  because it's at variance with the vast majority of C language
  derivatives (in fact, I'll go out on a limb and say ALL of them). The
  behavior I'm seeing is this:

  If I have

  package {
  public class badscope {

  public function dummy() : void {
  if (new Date() != null) {
  var foo : Number = 3;
  } else {
  var foo : Number = 4;
  }
  }

  }
  }

  the cmopiler is telling me that "foo" is a duplicate declaration. Um.
  Every other block structured language I'm familiar with scopes local
  variable declaration to the enclosing block, so the foo's do not exist
  in the same lexical scope and there is no conflict. To me, if this
  behavior of placing all variable declarations in the top level
  function's scope is in fact the desired behavior, it's a HUGE step
  backwards.

  Please help me to understand why I'm seeing the behavior I am, and why
  it's not breaking lexical scoping rules common to C derivatives.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Html in Flex?

[Jason Hawryluk]

It’s not an obvious solution. So no problem.

Google search “flex 2.0” + “iframe”

There are a couple of versions out there. The below has a good write up on
it.

http://www.deitte.com/archives/2006/05/update_to_embed.htm

try that; to have a look at the technique, I have my own version, but no use
uploading it to the group if it's available out there already.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: XML manipulation

[Jason Hawryluk]

Yes in that case you would, and before deleting the level 2 append level3 to
level 2's parent.



Kind of (not at all tested) like this..



for each (var item:XML in myxml..level2) {
item.parent.append(item..level3);

delete item;

}



you may actually need 2 loops one for the delete. If the above technique
doesn’t work try the copy()



item.parent.append(item..level3.copy());



sorry no time to actually test anything here.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: IFlexModule

[Jason Hawryluk]

Did you delete this

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2 Plug-in\

before the install of 2.01 ?

another thing to try just to see is add a reference to the module files in
your little clean test app that compiled.

import mx.modules.*;

see if it still chokes.

just trying to eliminate stuff.

RE: [flexcoders] any possible way to use flash ocx without installing?

[Jason Hawryluk]

Yes, you can load a ocx without registering it, provided you give com the
required type information it needs. Basically you fake com into thinking the
ocx is registered. We have a very large product (not flex) that uses this
technique with a slew of custom ocx’s (100’s) all are not registered. That
is if you want to target all windows versions.

If your just targeting xp and above then a manifest file in the exe path
will provide this.

Objet : [flexcoders] any possible way to use flash ocx without installing?


Okay, this is only borderline Flex since it's a Flex app, but I hope you'll
indulge me.

Is there a way to use the flash ocx in a desktop application without having
flash installed on the machine?  Say I have just my application's exe and
Flash9.ocx.  Or am I stuck because the OCX has to be registered with
regsvr32 and there's just no way for a non-admin to do that?


It's probably a moot point, as further research says you aren't allowed to
redistribute Flash9.ocx anyway.  But I'm still curious if it's possible.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: IFlexModule

[Jason Hawryluk]

hmmm. I use the full version.

I'm not sure nor aware of any compatibility issues with regards to eclipse
3.2.

It may be a pain but could you try the full flex builder version not the
plug-in? If not well there has to be some file that is gorking(not a real
word) on your configuration.

Before flex 2.01 you hade flex 2.0 plug-in. Did you remove all flex related
files before install of the 2.01 version, from the eclipse plug-in location?

Did the 2.0 version work with eclipse 3.2 ?

Again grasping at straws here. Just throwing stuff out into the wind to see
if it fly’s.

Objet : [flexcoders] Html in Flex?


We have an existing application that has a feature enabling a user to
set content for and preview html newsletters. We are in the process
of researching Flex2 and determining whether the client-side of this
application (currently xul/html/js) should be converted.

Is there any way to render html in Flex2? The htmlText property on
Text won't cut it as it only supports a trivial subset of html.

I essentially need to embed Gecko or another appropriate rendering
engine so that the users can get a rough guess of what their content
looks like. The same pages allow the user to quickly send test
e-mails to whichever accounts they desire, but the quick-preview
feature provided by the current version of the application is heavily
used and cannot be cut.

Ideally Flex2 has something similar to the  component in xul.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: XML manipulation

[Jason Hawryluk]

Yes; basically

Grab level3 into an xmllist var

delete level 2 append level 3 to level 1.

var tempxml:XMLList = myxml..level3;
delete myxml.level2;
myxml.append(tempxml);

the above code is off the top of my head. May and may not work :)

Ben,

Thanks for your help. It works great!

I have another question that I'm not sure if you will be able to
answer or not. If I have 3 levels of hierarchy in my XML and I want
to remove level 2 (but not its children - level 3) how would you go
about doing that? Eliminate level 2 while promoting level 3.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: IFlexModule

[Jason Hawryluk]

I believe that flex builder installs eclipse 3.1 hence the question.

So to use flex all you need is flex builder the full version. Eclipse is not
required, rather Adobe took eclipse 3.1 and modified it for flex
builder==one in the same.

Hope I’m making sense, it's late here :)

There was an old version of the modules framework from the original creator
(it was just a thought) it's probably not the problem.

Ok so your pc.. On another post here i asked to take a look to make sure
that the module framework is indeed where it is supposed to be.

The fact you where able to create a new app with no module reference is a
direction. I'm not sure where apache comes into play here.

you should not have both eclipse and flex builder unless your using eclipse
for something else. Flex builder uses eclipse so there could be an
incompatibility between the version flex builder is installing and the
version 3.2.

If you wish to use flex with eclipse 3.2 you should install the plug-in not
flex builder.

Does this make sense or am i wrong in assuming this as your case. Do you
have both eclipse 3.2 and flex builder 2.01 installed?

If so; this is most likely the root of the problem. If not.. well we'll keep
witling it down.

[Jason Hawryluk]

Could you if verify that the files exist in your application directory (not
sure with mac)

Yourpath\Flex Builder 2\Flex SDK 2\frameworks\source\mx\core”

FlexModuleFactory.as
IFlexModuleFactory.as
IFlexModule.as

And are you both trying this with eclipse 3.2? I’m thinking that if you both
upgraded to the 3.2 even if you uninstall there may be the java files that
are not compatible with flex on mac just a guess of course.

I really have no idea here just throwing out thoughts as they come to me to
try and pin point a direction, please bear with me.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: IFlexModule

[Jason Hawryluk]

Judging from the error I would think that perhaps your using an older
version or the modules or your existing project before the update was
referencing the older modules framework. If this is the case there may have
been changes between the older version and the release version that are
causing you grief. The fact that your project is failing on IFlexModule
leads me to this.

Again excuse if off the mark.

Jason

RE: [flexcoders] Re: IFlexModule

[Jason Hawryluk]

Are you using an older version of the flash player per chance?

I’m assuming you’ve done a clean on the project(s)?

Could it be that there is a trace of the project(s) config?

If you close all projects, and create a brand new project with just the
application + a control; does the problem persist?


Have you already installed an older version of the modules framework before
this release? From the originators blog perhaps.


Excuse if I’m off the mark. I understand your frustration, and wish to try
and help…

RE: [flexcoders] Prevent DataGrid itemClick event from launching with header click

[Jason Hawryluk]

You could try an event.preventDefault(); you would have to be able to
identify the event to know if you want it to pass or not.

Objet : [flexcoders] Prevent DataGrid itemClick event from launching with
header click


I have a dataGrid that I have set an itemClick event to launch a popup
canvas as an editor for the line item clicked. The dataGrid is set to
"editable" but each column is set to noneditable to prevent the cell
from being edited directly.

Everything works well for the editing the line items however if I
click on a column header to sort it also launchs my itemClick event
(editor). How can I prevent this ??

Not having much luck trapping the event source since both header
clicks and line item clicks return the same event.target.

RE: [flexcoders] FileReference Upload Chunk The File into smaller chunks

[Jason Hawryluk]

I'm not sure about security implications, but I for one would love to see
some added functionality on the client side for the file reference classes
at least in flex if possible, though I'm sure it would mess up the flash
player more then anything.

A: A handle to the byte array before upload starts.

First thought benefits:
Compression
Possible to send in chunks (multipart upload)
Validation
Upload is not protocol specific (rpc possible [1])
Immediate access to data [2]

B: A binary type shared client object that can accept the file reference
(size = to size of file)

First thought benefits:
If upload is interrupted then restart at the same byte offset possible
Same for download

C: Multiple file download. [3]

[1]Not sure if this is already possible or not as I've been using soap for
file upload.

[2]If the user has committed to an upload why do the round trip in order to
manipulate it.Good for image resizing, manipulation, and any kind of file
pre processing.

[3]If access to the binary data was to be allowed then one could decompress
the file on the fly. The user would not require a decompression program. Or
if data is compressed a user could select particular files to download from
the compressed file. This should be just using a folder dialog, as apposed
to a file dialog.

That said I'm sure Adobe has a particular reasoning behind the decision not
to allow these things. These couple things would just make it more of a
feature rich part of the experience.

Hello all! Firstly let me start off by saying my knowledge of flex is
fairly limited - but my knowledge of flash and AS are as i would
describe as intermediate/advanced. Before i get into it - i just want
to make clear to everyone that, no - im not trying to phish for
someone to do this for me, i very much would like to learn for
myself, i just need direction! lol. So any thoughts, suggestions,
tactics! i would greatly appreciate it all!

I am trying to create an app for a community im involved with in
which we produce a monthly eZine. We have a team of some 20-30 people
working on different articles and content. What I am trying to
accomplish is build a very superficial CMS in essence. An online app
where firstly, the editor can specifiy the content for the upcomming
month (i.e what needs to be done) the team members may then submit
their articles and so forth for each section specified by the editor,
and finally where I (the publisher in this case) can view each piece
to finally compose a finished eZine. All this - each month!

Here is a little of my thought proccess.

Start with a Login screen. This is where i would split up the various
roles, allowing access to different parts of the app depending on
their role. The editor would be able to go the an admin section
where, each month, she may specifiy which sections are going to be
included this month. The team would be able login to see what needs
to be done each month, sign up for it, do it, then submit it. And
where the publisher can view what should basically be a summary of
the content submitted both thus far, and finally.

For the editor, I would have a list of all the possible sections that
could be included at any given time. Beside which would be a panel
with a list for what is to be included this month (i was thinking a
drag and drop from the list of possibles, over to the list of "to be
included") once she is satisfied with the content she has layed out,
she could hit save, and the list she dragged to ("to be included")
would be saved.

Team members would then see a list on the left with all the sections
needing to be done this month. Then some sort of system...be it color
coded, tick box, something to allow people to see what is being done,
whats completed, and what needs to yet be done, as well as what
has/has not been proofed by the checkers (explain about them later).
Perhaps when an item on the list is selected on the right it would
load up a few things: at the top a tick box reading "proof read"
(that only the checker role would be able to modify, but all could
see) if no one is yet signed up to do the selected item, there would
be a button they could sign up, which (based on their login name)
would assing them to that article and the article would then only
display who is doing it, not the button. and then a text box for
copy/pasting or typing in the article, and a field for uploading
images for the article. They could then save it. If the article has
no one assigned to it, the text box would be greyed out, and if
someone is viewing it that is not assigned to be doing it, they can
only read - not modify. (unless they are a checker).

Checkers would be able to modify all the articles, as well as sign
off on the article, by ticking the check box (perhaps adding their
name beside it so we know who proof read it, maybe not), as well as
apply to do articles themselves.

Publisher, would be able to login and have a summary button in which
all the content is compiled into one long document broken down by
headings so i know what is what, and can then bring into inDesign for
publishing.

Now, i know this is not a simple undertaking - and I have been
fiddling with ideas and what not. I was toying with text files, or
xml, all of which i have pretty much ruled out - not to mention the
fact i have had no luck with roles and such with a login, other than
by declairing simple "if" statements. Not ideal by any means. I have
managed to get a si

RE: [flexcoders] AddChild() Exceptions

[Jason Hawryluk]

I'm having the exact same type of problem swapping containers in a
TabNavigator using this type of command

main.setChildIndex(main.getChildAt(2),1);

The behind code seems to choke on the getChildAt of the container.


I had the some index problems on other things with this component and for
that one found that using callLater solved part of it. Perhaps you could
give that a try, failing that if you find a simple answer to your problem I’
d be interested in hearing about your solution. I’ll do likewise if I find a
solution to the current index problem.

Anyway Frustrating to say the least.

Hi All,

I'm having a slight problem building a custom component. The basic
idea is a combination of a primary image container, and a Tile()
container providing a selection of images. When selected, each image
would appear as a primary image.

This sounds tediously simple. I'm implementing it upon the principle
that a change event is broadcast when a setter is called, which has a
registered listener that updates the component. It attempts to replace
the at index 0.

The annoying thing is that if I implement this from a vanilla
perspective (blank text file), it works fine (making things much
harder to debug since I can't reproduce the behaviour) - however in
the context of the application I'm developing, it throws an exception:

RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.

This happens when the addChildAt() method gets called. Without

exception? I've been battling this for hours now and it won't yield.
If I'm not doing something incredibly stupid that would cause this,
please let me know.

Intuitively, it seems like the addChild() is triggering something at
the wrong moment in time, giving something similar to an "Array out
of bounds" as it looks for stuff to render. I understand most of the
trace atomically speaking, but on the whole I have no idea how to
remedy it.

Also, I have an annoying problem with Flexbuilder. Breakpoints dont
seem to work for me at all. I can't find any setting that implies this
might've been turned off, so I'm not sure what to do about it. Perhaps
find the checkbox that says "Don't work properly" and untick it.

Any clues would be much appreciated =)

Kind Regards,

Ciarán

Posting this mostly for reference in case anyone else spends 30
minutes uttering WTF over and over... Although the documentation for
the switch statement purports to accept "any expression", that is most
certainly not the case. See below.

// will always fall through to the default case.
switch ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

// will work as expected
var myVar:MyType = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
switch (myVar)

Is there a valid reason for this behavior?

  Hi 
  Tim,
  
  Well, my first 
  impression is that it’s pretty complex, at least a lot more complex than just 
  creating ASP.NET Web services and calling them from 
  flex.
  Apparently you need 
  to place all your remote methods in xml config files. Etc. The tutorials from 
  http://www.themidnightcoders.com/articles/datamanagement-part3.htm 
  help a lot, but it’s still a huge change, also in the way of thinking. (eg 
  updating data with the sync methods, changeobjects etc). Also you use a lot 
  more databinding, whereas with web services you just fill your datagrid or 
  treeview with the data you receive, and in the case of an update, you will 
  probably use a web service too to update the current row. Here you just omit 
  your changes to your dataService, and he handles all the 
  rest.
  
  I think the Flex + 
  .NET + WebORB community is pretty small at the moment though, so it would be 
  nice of some gurus from this list play a bit with it like I’m doing right 
  now.

RE: [flexcoders] viewstack design pattern issue

Ok, 
thanks for clearing that stuff up, makes sense.

  [flexcoders] viewstack design pattern issue
  
  
  Well, either way, thanks for bringing it to my 
  attention.  I dig the low level things, and this is pretty cool to know 
  that it's that common across all UIComponents, in both 1.5 and 2.
   
  The TextInput thing I mentioned, I didn't 
  build.  I was using TextInputs everywhere, and my team members were like, 
  "Dude, what are you doing?".  They said to use one they built.  It 
  had basically 3 things; a specific look the client liked, made 2 events into 
  1, and maxChar as a public property.  There were 2 other minor 
  things.  I think the reason it was built was because the most common use 
  case was needing both enter & focusOut to fire update events, and since 
  they were using this in forms everywhere, they reduced a ton of code by 
  refactoring it this way.
   
  In Flex 1.5, yes, this has a cost.  
  Inheritance in Flash Player 8 and below has a cost, mainly because of the 
  inheritance chain and method lookups.  If a method is invoked, and it's 
  not on "you", it asks its parent class.  This chain lookup is 
  expensive.  So gregarious extending does cause performance 
  impacts.
   
  This problem doesn't exist in Flex 2 because of 
  the new traits object (vs. prototype).  So, now, it's more of a decision 
  of "should we use inteheritance" with no need to worry about performance 
  impacts.
   
  As far as consolidition, I think the above 
  example is extremely helpful.  We have a common use case for the control, 
  and it has a specific design, so yeah man, extending it for that simple reason 
  has helped a lot.  It's easier to handle the look in Flex 2 because CSS 
  is soo much cooler now.
   
  Well, yeah, the change thing is an issue.  
  However, I'm usually the one digging around in base classes.  I have to 
  the balls to know if I do one thing wrong, I've broken like 200 uses of the 
  control... so it better not be wrong!  Seriously, though, we do some 
  refactoring, but I think my boss & the rest of the team's early decisions 
  were good ones with forethought, so I havent' run into that problem too 
  much.
   
  Naw, thanks again for letting me know, 
  I had no clue that property existed.

  issue
  
  
  I didn't hear about 
  it, I just kind of came across it while working on a runtime xml double 
  binding solution for a future product. I tried various events but not worked 
  as well as that one. I only used  1.5 for about 2 months while I was 
  learning flex so can't comment on that one. Agreed that when you need 
  immediate updates it would not work, I guess everything has it's 
  limitations.
   
  Do you think (any 
  sorry for being off topic) that when you have the same events being used in 
  multiple controls of the same, type that it is better to refactor that into a 
  separate extended control? For example buttons on a menu. If they all use the 
  same style, height, language tags for tool tip, and text, and all call the 
  same command controller. I’ve been pondering this for a while, and though it 
  is easier to code, and cleaner to look at I thought it would bloat the final 
  product (I try not to go to far with regards to this stuff). What are your 
  experiences on this? 
  
  I’m thinking for 
  maintenance it has to be better, but if a little change is required on a 
  component that uses it, you can’t change that extended one, and would be 
  required to create another extended component, resulting in multiple extended 
  components all almost the same. I hope the question makes 
  sense.
  
  So to extend or not 
  to extend? :)

  I wasn’t questioning 
  your method here, just qualifying the way I do it, and found 
  myself questioning the methods I’d chosen after reading your

3 things.First, valueCommitted in Flex 1.5 does not always fire 
at the appropriate times. For example, it doesn't fire when you chang 
text in a TextInput field. Also, it doesn't fire when you hit the enter 
key. Sometimes, these are desirable events to set data. It only works 
for focusOut.So, using the default

Also one last thing 
about the Delayedtimer.as The original was flex 1.5. The 
idea, and credit for it goes to someone else (not sure who) I think it was

  Cool, can’t wait. 
  I’ve now gotten so far that I can drag items on every node, but the only 
  thing I need to force now is that if you drag an item on a node on the 
  last level, it needs to be open for flex to allow dropping on 
  it.
  For now I’ll just 
  open every node in my tree in the initial state. That way at least it’s 
  working.

RE: [flexcoders] viewstack design pattern issue

[Jason Hawryluk]

I didn't hear about it, 
I just kind of came across it while working on a runtime xml double binding 
solution for a future product. I tried various events but not worked as well as 
that one. I only used  1.5 for about 2 months while I was learning flex so 
can't comment on that one. Agreed that when you need immediate updates it would 
not work, I guess everything has it's limitations.
 
Do you think (any sorry 
for being off topic) that when you have the same events being used in multiple 
controls of the same, type that it is better to refactor that into a separate 
extended control? For example buttons on a menu. If they all use the same style, 
height, language tags for tool tip, and text, and all call the same command 
controller. I’ve been pondering this for a while, and though it is easier to 
code, and cleaner to look at I thought it would bloat the final product (I try 
not to go to far with regards to this stuff). What are your experiences on this? 

 
I’m thinking for 
maintenance it has to be better, but if a little change is required on a 
component that uses it, you can’t change that extended one, and would be 
required to create another extended component, resulting in multiple extended 
components all almost the same. I hope the question makes 
sense.
 
So to extend or not to 
extend? :)
 
back to 
topic:
 
I wasn’t questioning 
your method here, just qualifying the way I do it, and found 
myself questioning the methods I’d chosen after reading your 
post.

[flexcoders] viewstack design pattern issue

  
  3 things.First, valueCommitted in Flex 1.5 does not always fire at 
  the appropriate times. For example, it doesn't fire when you chang text in 
  a TextInput field. Also, it doesn't fire when you hit the enter key. 
  Sometimes, these are desirable events to set data. It only works for 
  focusOut.So, using the default components in Flex 1.5, I have to 
  do:function doCommit(){myVal = 
  my_ti.text;}vs. using an extended component that makes both events 
  into 1:See?Second, in Flex 2, 
  it doesn't fire until the focus goes to another control. Finally, neither 
  work with change. Change is a valid event because sometimes you need 
  immediate updates. ValueCommitted / ValueCommit is a boilerplate event. I 
  wasn't aware of it in either versions of Flex until you mentioned it. It 
  seems as long as you don't need specific events, it is a good catch all to 
  use. :: shrugs :: Where did you hear about?- Original Message

It has nothing to do with the change event.

:: shrugs :: Never used valueCommitted.  Using change for a TextInput for
example causes problems because sometimes updating every key stroke causes
updates to happen too fast.  focusOut ensures it only happens when the user
is "done" with the TextInput.  You can use enter, as well.

We have a component in our apps that extends TextInput, and conslidates both
enter & focusOut into a "valueComitted" event as it were.  Less coding
anyway.

JesterXL ? Focusout changes data on the textinput ? What if the user just
get focus into the textinput, and does not change it?

I'm using valueCommit on all components. Is focus out better for this ?

Hank: Are you opening the same data multiple times, and you require that
related screens are observed ?  I.e. update one, the other updates kind of
thing?

We use a dirty flag.  We set it to true whenever some data changes.  This
data change is detected by registering for control events that change data
(focusOut for TextInput, selectedDate != null for DateChooser, etc.).  These
events change the data if applicable, and set the dirty flag.

Other components can bind to the dirty flag and take appropriate actions,
whether via a getter / setter or the binding tag.

Subject: [flexcoders] viewstack design pattern issue


I have a viewstack (actually a tabnavigator) that has screens with data that
comes from a server.

I want to trigger the screen to go out and get new data only when:
   1. the user enters the specific viewstack sub screen, and
   2. when the data for that screen is dirty, based on some bound data that
has triggered a change

So as I see it, the screen needs to keep track of when the bound field has
changed which should cause a call to get fresh data. This means that the
screen must keep track of whether it is dirty.

This seems like it must be a common scenario, and I am curious about how
other people handle it. My first instinct was to create a base screen class
from which all my screens could inherit. But I am curious whether cairngorm
already handles this or whether this is even part of the scope of what it
tries to cover. I am not using cairngorm right now, but may in the future.
But understanding what is and isnt in its scope is important for me to start
to understand.

So anyway, this is a 2 part question.

1. how do people handle this situation
2. does cairngorm have some pre-packaged solution to this issue.

RE: [flexcoders] Pivot Tables

[Jason Hawryluk]

Let's discuss this further :) I agree it would be a killer component for
Flex.

A pivot table component is one thing, but first you need to start with a
spreadsheet type component (err maybe not, as the start data should not be
modifiable).

I guess any given itemrenderer would need to observe "all" other
itemrenderers in its parent. You would also have to have a special header
and row itemrenderers not to mention the specific ones for x and y axis
totals. You can then add the ability to drag and drop column headers (haven’
t figured this one out yet, as they seem glued to their axis). You need some
kind of formula parser, I guess regex could do it (once you define a formula
language). That language would most definitely need to be very similar to
excel, and map to action script through some sort of mapping/parsing process
(runtime).

As for a starting component I’m not sure extending the grid would be up to
the job. A pivot table usually requires allot of data (paging is not an
option). So support for multiple formats is required (xls, xml, csv, tab
separated etc..)

What am I missing here :)

Jason

If you'd used pivot tables much, you'd know why I chuckled at your comment.
:D

Pivot tables are a really cool Excel feature that allows you to graphically
fiddle with a set of data, with Excel converting your GUI actions into GROUP
BY and rollups and summaries.  To my boss, almost every problem looks like a
pivot table waiting to happen.

If someone would implement a robust, full-featured pivot table component in
Flex, they might be able to make a lot of money off it.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Using the XMLListCollection class bug

[Jason Hawryluk]

On another note, you're 
correct that flex does add the uids, and my solution was just to get the sample 
working so that the poster could see it properly.
 
For you, and the original poster this is not best 
practice, be aware that the actual problem is that the items added to the bottom 
list were a reference 
to the item in the tree 
instead of a copy or new item, so the uid was not reset for the added item, this 
caused a double reference. A better solution for the sample would be 
changing
 
this line
listDP.addItem(prodTree.selectedItem);
 
to this
listDP.addItem(prodTree.selectedItem.copy());
 
I really did not think 
too much about it when I gave a quick solution. For the original poster Hal 
is correct in that you don't need to do this unless you need an "exact copy". It 
worked because you changed the item being added and flex did in that case change 
the uid. You should not add the uid yourself as an attribute unless 
you require it elsewhere.
 
The problem is not 
really a bug, the problem was references, 
and pointers getting out of wack and flex does not like that :)
 
Milan if you require a 
clearer explanation then feel free to ask. I hope this clears it up a bit better 
for you.
 
As for the sample I 
think it should be changed as it obviously can cause confusion for 
people.
 
Sorry for the 
confusion.
 
Jason

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Using the XMLListCollection class bug

[Jason Hawryluk]

Hal
 
In the example, even with your fix which 
does not help the problem, select the bananas, or some other item in the tree, 
and click "add to list" a few times (on the same item) then you will 
see the effect. Because the same item is being added over and over it throws it 
totally out of wack. Both the tree and the list are affected. Perhaps change the 
code to disallow duplicates.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 Icon in PopUpMenuButton

[Jason Hawryluk]

Thanks for your help, 
but no, it does not solve the problem. Perhaps 
Adobe or others could contribute to this for a better solution, or be aware of 
the bugs/items/work arounds. 
 
A couple of things with 
this control. After a little 
testing.
 
1: The lableFunction 
does not work at all. No matter what method chosen.
    

2: Icons 
are not working at all.
    2a: 
not with out 3a and/or 3b
 
3: There is no 
iconField like in the menu. there 
is in the popup menu component however can't get at it design time and it's set 
to icon (which = no icon for xml as I need to use @icon).
    3a: 
The solution to the above for an icon in the popup is on the creation complete 
event set it to @label like so "event.currentTarget.popUp.iconField = 
"@icon";"
    3b: 
or subclass the popupmenubutton, add the property, and do it there.
 
4: I think that 
checking or un-checking the menu check spot should not close the popup, but 
still dispatch item Click, or change event. 
 
5: The icon shows when 
bound to a object array only. As per the docs, specify xml possibilities as 
well.
    5a: 
See 3a and 3b for solution
 
6: When bound to and 
object array, and icon is showing. In the menu drop down portion with each click 
on the menu item in the drop down the icon becomes progressively muddy, seems 
it's not be cleared for each drop down. Or being redrawn over top 
of.
    6a: 
Solution is to use xml and 3a or 3b then the icon displays properly
 
7: When using a xml 
data source and icons working the icon will not show in the button itself until 
you select an item as the object method does.
    7a: 
3b may be able to fix this.
 
 
This 
is the code to demonstrate the behavior described above. Hopefully with all this 
others will not have the same problems I 
have.
 
Cheers,

  Hi Jason,
  Kelly Birr addressed this topic a week ago for a MenuBar.  The same 
  solution will work for a PopUpMenuButton.  They both use the Menu 
  class.
  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/41282?l=1 
  The icon string in your dataProvider has to be the same name as the class 
  variable that references the icon asset.

RE: [flexcoders] Please Adobe. Unanswered questions, and building the community

[Jason Hawryluk]

Thanks for responding, 
My initial worry was not that all my questions are not getting answered. It was 
more like if Adobe wants to get into the dev realm and be active in convincing 
existing MS dev people to make a switch to Flex from the upcoming WPF/e and WPF 
platforms, their community support and involvement needs to be greater then that 
of MS on a per dev basis. The product is only 20% of the work effort to see a 
real success, the other 80% is execution, and actions required to get a user 
base that makes future development worth while.
 
Convincing developers 
to change platforms will be much harder then convincing designers. MS has to 
convince the designers, and Adobe need to convince the developers. Adobes task 
is much greater.
 
I’m afraid that the 
post came off as someone whining cause his questions don’t get answered which 
was not at all the intent.
 
I frequent the MS 
channle9 and MS forums often as I use their products, there is no talk about 
Flex/Apollo only WPF/Ajax/WPFE. I’m an avid tech blog reader, tech magazine 
reader, all around anything tech, and see no mention or little thereof of Flex. 
I heard the first time of Flex 1.5 last June? How long has it been out? I’m a 
dev that’s always looking for new technology to solve problems, so how is this 
possible.
 
This worries me too the 
core about the future of Flex. It’s a viable platform, and very powerful, 
however Macromedia has/had a reputation in the Dev world (animations etc..) 
Adobe has a rep in the Dev world (it’s just for designers). So how can Adobe 
hope to unclench the Dev world that MS fights so much to protect? It takes much 
more then a superior product to make it happen. MS is a PR machine. Unless Adobe 
gets very involved (very being an understatement) how does Adobe hope to 
accomplish this? The only way is better execution combined with superior 
involvement/support, and then hope that the word of mouth becomes viral. 

 
To become viral you 
need the story which Flex has, and the people to spread that. The story of Flex 
is not getting out there enough. 
 
I believe that Flex has 
the potential to stop MS WPF/e in it’s tracks, but the buck starts here, not in 
6 months, and not in 2.
 
Anyway enough rambling, 
I’ll just continue to do my part where I can to ensure my investment pay’s 
off.
 
Again my apologies if 
it came off the wrong way.
 
Jason

  My understanding is that Adobe support engineers don't generally start 
  supporting products until they are released (and therefore the product is 
  stable). It's up to the development team to support alpha, beta, and GMC 
  releases and we do that to the best of our abilities as we have spare time. 
  We're currently helping to train the Flex support engineers to take over this 
  work since we are about to release.Also, some of us are paying a bit 
  more attention to the "official" adobe.com forums and a bit less to 
  flexcoders, but we try to monitor multiple places if possible.Finally, 
  we're also missing Matt Chotins's contribution... he got promoted to

Thank you! That worked. 
I would like to know however what the exact problem was, I did clean out

million other things i tried :)
 
Was it just a version

RE: [flexcoders] Select a Tree item on Right click

[Jason Hawryluk]

What do you all think 
about a double-click context menu, in stead of the right click context menu that 
flex provides. The problem with the flex one is that it confuses a user as to 
whether they are still in your app or some browser menu. Hence I see the oops 
syndrome.
 
Create a double click 
flex context menu using the mx:menu ? would it work. Another benefit is mac 
users only have 1 button so I avoid right click like the plague. Although I also 
try to avoid double click as, in all my years of software development on thing 
you can be guaranteed in a user that continuously double clicks everything or 
randomly clicks stuff.
 
Also 
basing things on the context menu when that is not common in a web app may place 
confusion. I might user test the double click idea though. It's not standard,but it could work 
and long as no vital actions are tied to it. An experianced user would soon 
discover it. 
 
Thoughts ?
 
Jason

  Yes, I did this back in Flash.You have to write an event handler 
  for the itemRollOver (if the event is still called) that. Record the index 
  from the event. Then in your contextMenu handler have the first thing it does 
  set the selectedIndex of the tree. At this time you can also access the node 
  info, which is handy for populating the menu before it is 
  'rendered'.Peace, Mike

  Thanks Jason,I have only Unistalled Beta 3. But I have already run 
  the flash player uninstaller before installing the new debug version of 
  Flash 9.With Beta 2 it was working OK, When I have installed beta 
  3, IE stopped working and I have installed FireFox that worked for some 
  time. I remember that just before a debugging session The Windows 
  Firewall insformed that java was trying go out and asked me if I wanted to 
  block it, and I choose to continue blocking. Since then the debugger 
  stopped for FireFox too and I could not debug.I am sure this is a 
  security issue but I am not able to find it Thanks--- In

That 
sample is buggy
 
 
replace the below code
 
private function 
doTreeSelect():void    
{    if 
(prodTree.selectedItem)    
listDP.addItem(prodTree.selectedItem);    
}
 
with 
the below
 
    import 
mx.utils.UIDUtil;    private function 
doTreeSelect():void    
{    if 
(prodTree.selectedItem)    
 var newnode:Object = 
prodTree.selectedItem.copy();    
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] =

RE: [flexcoders] Using the XMLListCollection class bug

[Jason Hawryluk]

The 
situation you describe occurs when the xml nodes are the same 
i.e.
 



 
There 
needs to be a difference between the items in order for flex to react 
properly.
 
so the 
below would work
 




 
notice 
the @label here
 

 
hope 
this clears things up, if your still having problems after this then post 
back an example to show what it is doing.
 
Just 
remember nodes have to be unique, and it works like a charm. I ensure this with 
a guid.

Did 
you uninstall flex b3, and did you run Player_B3_Uninstaller_05-08.exe before 
installing the final version?
 
Also 
ensure that you have removed the older flash9.ocx from your

  Hi everybody,This is my last message about this problem. Flex is 
  fantastic, I am using it since alpha version.I have an application 
  ready to deploy that I have finished without a debug (the older will 
  remember old times when debugging was done with Alert boxes). I 
  hoped that with the release version I could debug again, but this is not 
  true. I cannot use a development tool that does not have a debugger and I 
  cannot reinstall my development workstation everytime a new nersion is 
  released.I have downloaded the new debug version of Flash player 9, 
  installed it and after that the version is still 16 (standard version), 
  not 15 (debug version).And  the browser is still 
  crashing.The problem is occuring since I have installed beta 3 (two 
  months ago). My problem is that the browser craches and Windows shows me a 
  message box telling that IE encountered a problem with an add-on and 
  needs to close. And the add-on is Fldbg9.ocx.This is the fourth 
  message and I beleive that Adobe should take care of it.Thanks in 
  advance

RE: [flexcoders] Read Local File

[Jason Hawryluk]

This 
is not possible due to browser security restrictions. You will have to ask the 
client to upload to the server, pass the data back to the client, modif, and 
send back to server. On the server side you will have to accept the down load, 
parse, and have the client the poll the server till the file is ready to get 
back to the client.
 
Hope 
this helps

  [flexcoders] Read Local File
  
  I would like to create a flex application (hosted on the internet) that 
  could read in a client's local file, parse that file and then display 
  in a datagrid for manipulation and eventually posting the data to my 
  server. My problem is on the reading of the local file piece. It seems 
  that the only way that I can do this is to have the swf running on the 
  client's machine. That is not an option so I have been in the search for 
  finding a solution that would allow me to sign my swf or something similar 
  so that it could be trusted on the client's machine and allow the user to 
  parse their local file.So what can I do to give my internet based 
  application read access on the client's machine?Thanks in 
  advance!-Torey

RE: [flexcoders] Scrollbar bug (with sample code)

[Jason Hawryluk]

I 
added this to your vscroll, it worked but not the best, you may want to 
play around with this a bit. Perhaps the binding is not getting called until 
hscroll is created they are not created at the same time, so if hscroll is not 
fully created the height would in fact be 0.
 
creationComplete="vscroll.y=hscroll.height;"

this helps

Basicly a new version of the debug player that matches that of the 
flash9.ocx version.
 
Did 
you still have problems even after this version ?

  [flexcoders] Jason Hawryluk: Flash debug player - a 
  workaround
  
  
  
  For Jason Hawryluk, and anyone else that'd been having issues getting the 
  debug player working, I've found a way, but it's not very 
  "nice"...!
   
  I 
  uninstalled/reinstalled anything with no joy, so I got the release player from 
  the Adobe site, and made sure I can run Flex projects in Run mode, but get the 
  error when trying in Debug mode.
   
  Then I renamed the 
  Flash9.ocx file, and duplicated the debug version, and named it that. Now it 
  loads the debug player in place of the release player all the time. Not ideal, 
  but it means I can debug! Since all other machines are fine, we can still run 
  it in the proper release player for testing elsewhere.
   
  It'll keep me 
  going for today, and if there's no real fix from Adobe, my machine will be 
  rebuilt next week.

I just tried the environment variables as a last hope and still nothing.
What the heck is different between the beta 3 and the final version of the
debug player? Win 2000 Pro does not like it, I have uninstalled even my
Norton 2006, flash 8.0, captivate, shockwave...

Re-installed beta 3 uninstalled again differently = not

2 day’s for this ? Can’t be that difficult. I don’t get it, I just don’t.

Why won't it register?

Jason

Hi, for me this did it...

# Deinstall FlexBuilder
# Download the FlashPlayer-Uninstaller from
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157
<http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157>
# …execute it…
# Best to close your browsers befor the deinstallation, otherwise it will
be done for you
# Reinstall FlexBuilder including the packaged Player (9.0.15)


cheers, thomas.

Ok I give up, someone 
wanna help us out here? Almost 
2 day's working on this stupid problem, and no forward movement what so 
ever.
Windows is not allowing 
me to register the ocx no matter what I have tried it just don't like it. The ocx is FlDbg9.ocx in the 
C:\WINNT\system32\Macromed\Flash.
 
There are no registry 
keys being entered like in the beta (that worked fine), so there must be some 
kind of conflict with either security (unlikely). Incompatibility (more 
likely).
 
I'm lost. 
 
It would certainly help 
if Adobe could chime in here, and propose an idea or 2 that we could try out. Or 
suggest something we should look for.
 
What are the exact 
dependencies of the Ocx? 
 
It's 
just not registering properly, and I don't get that. Never in all the ocx files 
I’ve developed have I seen one occurrence of such a 
problem.

So after installing 
beta 3 again i have debug for beta 3, and the ocx is correctly 
registered.

I will now 
uninstall and reinstall final.
This is 
weird

  I've got the same issues. I've got a file at 
  c:\DELETE_ME which was originall one of the beta flash plugins, but 
  although I can rename it, I can never delete it, even after reboots. I 
  suspect XP is being clever and realising I'm moving 
it!
   
  I've got other stuff to do now, so no Flex for a 
  while, but if I can't find a solution soon, it's going to have to be a 
  reinstall, and that really annoys me! :-

  I'm also still 
  having the same problem 1.5 day's getting frustrated here :)
  
  I did however 
  notice that the debug ocx is not getting registered and no matter what I 
  do I can't get it registered properly. I had a look on a machine where it 
  worked and it has all the necessary registry key's. After installing Flex 
  builder final. on my machine (and it seems I’m not alone) There is no keys 
  for the inproc/guid/classid's etc in the registry. I'm now convinced we 
  have entered dll/com Hell.
  
  I tried copying 
  the keys and importing to my machine but had no effect.
  
  The only thing I

  Player_B3_Uninstaller_05-08.exe on the working machine before flex final.

  excitement.
  
  After trying 
  about 15 different combinations, I’m now going to try to reinstall flex 
  beta 3 then uninstall and use the above exe, then reinstall flex final. 
  Short of that I’m looking at a format c:\ :(
  
  So I have 
  completely cleaned my registry of all flash related ocx keys. Unistalled 
  everything flex.
  
  I’ll try the beta 
  3, attempt to debug, uninstall, install final.
