[flexcoders] Odd behaviour with scaleX/scaleY when only minWidth/minHeight is set
Consider this VBox: mx:VBox id=mybox borderStyle=solid minWidth=400 minHeight=300/ There's no explicit width or height, only the minimums are set. When the app runs, we get a 400x300 box. All good. However, if we try to scale this box: mybox.scaleX = mybox.scaleY = 0.5; I would think that we would get a box that's 200x150. Instead, I got a box that's 100x75. The scaling had been set to 0.25. I've tried this for different values and it appears that the value is being squared, eg. 0.5*0.5 = 0.25. If I try 0.6, I get 0.36, etc. If I set explicit dimensions of 400x300, then the scaling works fine. Am I missing something? I assume that this is not intended behaviour? Anybody else experience this?
Re: [flexcoders] Runtime CSS problem with SWFLoader
Yes, I had originally thought that you meant to load the CSS swf into the
the current domain. However, StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations() does not
give the option of specifying a LoaderContext. It has a trustContent
argument, but setting that to true fails when loading a local SWF (I've not
tried from the network yet).
The thing is, I wonder if it really is about not being able to see classes.
For instance, my CSS file has a selector like this:
.chickButton
{
up-skin: Embed('assets/chicklet_button_up.png');
}
When the subswf loads this CSS at runtime, the button's upskin does not
update on-screen (as before). However, I can see the class in the subswf.
I trace this inside the subswf:
var decl: CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration
(.chickButton);
trace(decl.getStyle(upSkin));
and I get output like:
[class newstyles__embed_css_assets_chicklet_button_up_png_1372914861]
And as stated in my last post, if I force a refresh of styles, the upskin
does then update on-screen. It seems to me that the SystemManager of the
subswf is not being told to refresh its styles after the CSS file is loaded.
On 9/30/07, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Uh, sorry, I wasn't clear. You need to set the app domain in
loadStyleDeclaration, not in SWFLoader.
Every SWF has a copy of ModuleManager in it. That code is used to load
every module including CSS files. Since that code says to make a child
appdom of the ModuleManager's app dom, when your app is the main app, the
style classes are loaded into a child domain and share common class
definitions.
When you load your app from a shell app, the ModuleManager is in the
shell. Your sub-app gets a child app domain and so does the css file, which
means that your app and the css file have sibling appdoms, which means the
cannot share classes and that messes up your styling. By specifying the app
domain in loadStyleDecl, you are telling it not to load the css into a child
domain, but rather, to load it into the shell's appdom so it can be seen by
other appdoms like your app. You can also specify your sub-apps app-dom or
child of your sub-app's appdom, but they key is to load the CSS into a place
where its classes share classes with your app.

Thank you for your reply, Alex. I tried doing the following with the
SWFLoader:
var lctx: LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
lctx.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
loader.loaderContext = lctx;
loader.load(MyApp.swf);
However, when MyApp loads a runtime CSS SWF, its styles are still not
updating. Both the loading SWF and the MyApp SWF are local files in the
same directory.
I poked around in the StyleManager code and saw that it calls the
styleDeclarationsChanged() method after a CSS SWF has been loaded. It looks
like this:
public function styleDeclarationsChanged():void
{
var sms:Array /* of SystemManager */ =
SystemManagerGlobals.topLevelSystemManagers;
var n:int = sms.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i n; i++)
{
var sm:SystemManager = SystemManager(sms[i]);
sm.regenerateStyleCache(true);
sm.notifyStyleChangeInChildren(null, true);
}
}
When I stepped through this, I saw that the sms array contains only the
SystemManager for the main application. So I decided to have MyApp
explicitly update its own SystemManager after a CSS SWF is loaded:
systemManager.mx_internal::regenerateStyleCache(true);
systemManager.mx_internal::notifyStyleChangeInChildren (null, true);
This actually got all the styles to update on-screen. So what's not
working right here? Is it related to the application domain or is it
something else?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: remoting with public access modifier in cfc
I've been tinkering with the services-config.xml file in the wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/ directory, specifically the method-access-level switch. The thing is, it doesn't seem to do anything (yes, I did restart the CF server). Whether it is set to public or remote, any Flex app can access both public and remote functions (while older Flash apps can access only remote functions). This is true even if the Flex app is loaded from the local hard drive. What I'm trying to do is to prevent Flex apps from accessing public functions. It doesn't make sense to me that you can't create server-side only CFCs. ie. utility components meant only for other CFCs to use. These utility CFCs need to have their functions marked public, but as soon as you do that, any Flex app can then access them remotely? Am I missing something?

Re: [flexcoders] FlexPrintJob problem: application background colors showing in margins
Since there doesn't appear to be any follow-up to this topic, I'll provide
an example. I recently started working with printing (using 2.0.1) and

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2B2 - cut off any gui controls that appear outside of parent container
I'm not sure exactly what effect you want. Do you always want a part of button2 to be clipped off the right? If so, by how much?What's happening in my example is that the nested Canvas gives button2 only 25% of the available horizontal space. When the HBox was 300 pixels wide, that gave it 75 pixels. Since I set button2 to be 100 pixels wide, the right 25 pixels are cut off. But if you set the HBox's width to be 100%, then that 25% space could be a lot wider than 75 pixels. If it goes over 100 pixels, then of course all of button2 would be shown. You'll have to play with the numbers to get a specific effect.

button2 only 25% of the available horizontal space.When the HBox was 300pixels wide, that gave it 75 pixels.Since I set button2 to be 100 pixelswide, the right 25 pixels are cut off.
But if you set the HBox's width to be 100%, then that 25% spacecould be a lot wider than 75 pixels.If it goes over 100 pixels, then ofcourse all of button2 would be shown.You'll have to play with the numbers to
get a specific effect. On 6/20/06, bhaq1972 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi Jason How can I keep this effect if i modify your example to become

I didn't mean it doesn't use the negetive padding, just it doesn'tcalculate the 'measured width' right when laying out the mask for the
container using a negetive padding with a percentage. Ah, to hard to explain right.

For you to understand the problem you need to understandhow theHBox lays it's children out and uses viewMetrics.
The reason this is not working is because since youspecified75% width, the container will calc the .75 of the width minus
anything thatis static IE your button 2. When you say paddingRight = -15, this kind defines the
logic ofthe layout. For some reason, when you specify -15 for paddingLeft,the
content on both sides then get clipped. I am not Adobe, but I would venture to guess this cannot
be doneright now. Not saying this is a bug but, I don't think thelayoutalgorithmtakes negetives into account.
You could always subclass HBox
Re: [flexcoders] Re: TextInput and ESC key **bug**
This is actually caused by this bug I posted a few days ago:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/39749When you hit Escape, the TextInput control reverts to the previous value by assigning it to the htmlText property. Once it does that, the text property is no longer useable. You can still assign values to the htmlText property, but it changes the font.On 6/19/06, bobpardoe1959 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:I too have found this bug today. I thought I was going mad.

There appears to be a bug in Flex 2.0 B3 that if a user presses the ESC key while focused in a TextInput control (or Editable ComboBox) the control will revert to empty or the previous text value. The bug is that from that point on you cannot programatically set the value of the .text property of the control. This can be easily reproduced in the TextInput sample in the Flex Component Explorer. 1) Click the [Copy] button. 2) Focus in the lower TextInput box and press the ESC key on the keyboard... the text will disappear. 3) Click the [Copy] button again... nothing happens. - kelly Yahoo!

[flexcoders] F2B3: Editable DataGrid focus problem
With an editable DataGrid, select a row to give the grid focus. On the desktop, bring some other application to the foreground. Then go back and click on the Flex app that's running in the browser (click on the app, not on the browser window title bar). The grid will then put a cell into edit mode. The grid is acting like as if it was just given focus via tabbing. The grid does try to avoid this behaviour when focus is given via a mouse click (in focusInHandler()), but it doesn't appear it catches this mouse click since it comes from outside. __._,_.___ -- 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] Flex2B3: Bug when setting htmlText in TextInput
If you set the htmlText property of a TextInput control, any changes you make to the text property is ignored afterwards. This is a bug in the commitProperties() method. There's a block of code that looks like this:
if (htmlTextChanged) { textField.htmlText = _htmlText;--- textChanged = false; }The highlighted line should be htmlTextChanged = false. Otherwise, it just keeps recycling the value in _htmlText.

[flexcoders] F2B3: DataGrid bugs
1. When editing a cell, pressing the Esc key should close the editor and cancel the edit. Currently, the editor is closed but changes made by ther user is written back to the dataprovider.2. The verticalScrollPosition property is not bindable. If you try to bind to it, you get the compiler warning Data binding will not be able to detect assignments to verticalScrollPosition. Sure enough, at runtime, updates do not happen. Actually, this is most likely a bug with a super class.

[flexcoders] F2B3: Error when passing single object to CF function
I'm not sure if this is an entirely Flex problem, but I don't recall seeing this when using Flash Remoting. The problem arises when trying to do a RemoteObject call to a CF function that has one required argument that's a struct. eg: cffunction name=CallMe access=remote returntype=struct cfargument name=arg1 type=struct required=yesI try to pass an Object for arg1 and I get the error The parameter ARG1 to function CallMe is required but was not passed in. If I change the signature of CallMe so that it accepts a second dummy argument (of any type) and I pass a second dummy value, the call works fine. The call also works fine if the type of arg1 is changed to string. The problem arises only when there's a single required struct argument. The workaround is to simply use a dummy argument, but this should be fixed. __._,_.___ -- 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!

/mx:Application When compiling, I get the error Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.events:Event to a possibly unrelated type MyNewEvent. According to the docs, I should be able to declare onJump using the type MyNewEvent. If I change the type to Event, it compiles ok. At runtime, I can actually cast it to MyNewEvent and it works fine, so the right type is being passed. It just looks like the code generator is not using the right type when creating the listener.

I have a Canvas with a border and it contains a TextArea. The Canvas is intentionally made larger than the TextArea via layout constraints. I then apply a Move effect to the Canvas. While the Canvas is moving, the size of the Canvas gets reduced to the minimum size required to contain the TextArea. After the effect is complete, the Canvas is back to its original larger size. In Beta 2, the Canvas kept its size while it was being moved, which is the expected behaviour. The little app below demonstrates. Click the Button to move the Canvas.

Re: [flexcoders] Accessing methods/properties (Flash 8 movies in Loader component)
Ok, say the Flex side needs to call methods on the Flash side. We set up a LocalConnection so that the Flash side acts as a server and the Flex side connects to it. In Flash 8: lc = new LocalConnection();
lc.connect(MyFlashServer); //Give it a unique name//Define callable methods lc.sayHello = function(s: String): Void { trace(s); }
In Flex 2: import flash.net.LocalConnection; var lc: LocalConnection = new LocalConnection(); lc.send(MyFlashServer, sayHello, hello world); //Server name, method name, argument
That's the basic mechanism. Note that this is one-way communication. You can't return a value from sayHello() back to Flex. If you need two-way communication, you'll have to set up another LocalConnection but reverse the client and server.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Few issues
Please remember that your Flex application runs locally on the user's computer. Sure, the user is able to download the SWF via http://www.mydomain.com:8701
, but because the IP address is hard-coded into the SWF, it will try to access IP address 192.168.1.103 when it runs. That IP address will not resolve because it's local to
your LAN (or it might even resolve to a machine on his LAN, which will really confuse matters). Unless I'm missing something, I really think you should put
http://www.mydomain.com:8701/flex2gateway/ in your flex-enterprise-services.xml file. That way it'll resolve to your machine from anywhere.On 4/6/06,

Re: [flexcoders] Flex beta 2 - add, remove and moving DataGridColumn
I've noticed that you can't actually manipulate the columns property directly cause it looks like the grid returns a copy of its internal columns array. eg: trace(grid.columns == grid.columns); //outputs false So doing things like grid.columns.push(...) doesn't change anything, even if you call invalidateDisplayList(). I've had to assign back the property: var cols: Array = grid.columns; cols.push (...); grid.columns = col;Once you assign the property, the grid automatically redraws itself.On 4/3/06, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The columns are stored in an Array.

Re: [flexcoders] Configuring RemoteObject destinations (Flex 2)
For our production environment, our SWFs are served from the same machine that our ColdFusion server resides on, so using {server.name} or {context.root} works fine when configuring destinations. During development, I compile and test SWFs locally. I don't run ColdFusion locally--we have a separate development server. So in this case, using {
server.name} or {context.root} doesn't work. I have to change the flex-services.xml file and put in the development server's IP address. It's just awkward to have to manually do this.
What I miss is the convenience of build profiles as seen in some other IDEs. I can have one for development and one for production, each having different compiler options (eg. so I can specify different flex-services.xml
files). At least that's one way to do it. Can I do something like this with the current Flex Builder? I haven't found a way.On 3/15/06, Peter Farland

Configuring RemoteObject destinations (Flex 2)
This came up cause I was configuring my Flex 2 app to communicate
with ColdFusion, but I suppose it applies to RemoteObject in general. In
order to tell your app the location of a web service destination, we're told to
add something like this to the compiler command line: --services=C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex\flex-enterprise-services.xml Now,
my first question is, since the file flex-enterprise-services.xml resides on the
server (be it ColdFusion or FES) and you typically don't do your client
development on the same machine as the production server, how would this work in
the general case? Anyway, so then I decided to copy the file to my
development machine and then manually changed localhost to the server's IP
address in the channel configuration. I compiled my app and it worked
fine. But now it appears that the server's address is compiled directly
into the swf. Are we unable to dynamically assign server addresses at
runtime?

[flexcoders] Flex 2 B2: Menu interfering with Alert popup
Ok, this is a pretty obscure bug, but the scenario isn't so weird. The following app creates a menu and has a button that causes it to be shown. When the menu item is clicked, it pops up an alert box: ?xml version=
1.0 encoding=utf-8? mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml xmlns=* layout=absolute creationComplete=init()
mx:Script ![CDATA[import mx.controls.Menu;import mx.controls.Alert;private var menu: Menu;
private function init(): void{ var dp: XML = item1 label=Item1/ menu = Menu.createMenu(null, dp);
menu.labelField = @label; menu.setStyle(openDuration, 0); menu.addEventListener(change, onChange);
}private function onChange(event: Event): void{ Alert.show(Testing, title,
Alert.YES);} ]] /mx:Scriptmx:Button x=10 y=10 label=Button click=menu.show()/
/mx:ApplicationThe problem is that when the menu item is clicked a second time, the alert popup does not appear but the whole screen still goes into a modal state. With no popup to dismiss, you can't get out of the modal state and your app is frozen out. Now, this happens only if the menu's openDuration is set to 0 and you specify some button flags for the alert window (eg.
Alert.YES) . I know, sort of obscure, but not an unreasonable scenario (heck, this happened in my app).

[flexcoders] Flex 2: height and width of Loader when loading SWF
When the Loader loads a Flash 7/8 SWF, its height and width properties are set to the SWF's stage height and width. The thing is, the SWF could size its content dynamically so that it's actually larger than specified. The larger SWF is displayed properly in the Flex app and the contentHeight and contentWidth properties appear to be set accordingly. But since the entirety of the SWF is displayed (and not clipped), doesn't it follow that the Loader's height and width should be larger as well? I bring this up cause a Flex container doesn't clip or scroll its content if it thinks all of its children fit inside. But a Loader doesn't necessarily report its full height and width (at least visually), so its content can spill outside the borders of its non-clipping container.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex2/ColdFusion connectivity : session scope problem
I hope someone is actually looking into this. Here's a log of the null pointer exception when trying to use J2EE sessions. It's not terribly useful as the stack trace is not shown, but it does show that the exception occurred when trying to access the ColdFusion service, most likely the adapter class,

[flexcoders] Configuring RemoteObject destinations (Flex 2)
This came up cause I was configuring my Flex 2 app to communicate with ColdFusion, but I suppose it applies to RemoteObject in general. In order to tell your app the location of a web service destination, we're told to add something like this to the compiler command line: --services=C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex\flex-enterprise-services.xml Now, my first question is, since the file flex-enterprise-services.xml resides on the server (be it ColdFusion or FES) and you typically don't do your client development on the same machine as the production server, how would this work in the general case? Anyway, so then I decided to copy the file to my development machine and then manually changed localhost to the server's IP address in the channel configuration. I compiled my app and it worked fine. But now it appears that the server's address is compiled directly into the swf. Are we unable to dynamically assign server addresses at runtime? -- 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!

Re: [flexcoders] Uncaught exceptions in Flex 2.0
I figured it had something to do with _root, but it's not my code trying to get at it. In my tests, I tried loading a Flash 8 swf that contained nothing but a Label component. I get the error:ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property reserved on _TestApp_mx_managers_SystemManager Interestingly, this error doesn't happen if I specify the swf in the MXML, eg:mx:Loader source=Test.swf/But if use load() or the source property in script, the exception happens. Unfortunately, I need to use the load() method. So is there any way to catch these exceptions?

[flexcoders] Problems with Tree and XML.setChildren() (Flex 2)
I have a Tree with an XML dataprovider. I noticed a couple of problems when using the setChildren() method on the source XML object. First, if a branch has children and is open in the Tree, the player crashes if I call setChildren() and pass it an empty XMLList (to clear the children). Second, while I can successfully add children to an XML object using setChildren(), the call does not update the Tree. If I close and open the branch again, the new children show up, but any changes I make to these children don't get updated in the Tree either. Everything works fine if I use appendChild() instead.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Passing nested objects to ColdFusion via WebService
Thanks for your response. I know this is a pretty obscure problem.Unfortunately, I've turned on all the logging I can for the CF server. CF has no problems with nested objects and the like. I did these kind of calls all the time using remoting with Flash. Perhaps it isn't a Flex issue but a CF/SOAP problem. Like I said, I'd much rather be using the ColdFusion/Flex Connectivity thing. You say that I can simply copy over stuff to our Linux server after running the installer on Windows? Are there any instructions on how to do a Linux install? Thanks.

Our CF server is fronted by Apache. The Apache logs do show a 500 result for the request (but nothing else). However, the CF logs show nothing at all. It's like the call/error never happened.
I never had this kind of problem when I used Flash Remoting with Flash MX. Can anybody shed some light on this?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex2 Tree
I have noticed that the following two lines are not equivalent: dataProvider = classpaths label=Class
Paths/classpaths; dataProvider = XMLList(classpaths label=Class
Paths/classpaths);The first results in an ArrayCollection dataProvider while the second one results in an XMLListCollection. Strange things happen with an ArrayCollection. Using the second way, I didn't get the undefined error. Good luck.

Re: [flexcoders] embed a movieclip
I'm actually trying to do something similar. What I've found so far should be able to help you. You need to load the SWF via the Loader component and then use its content property:mx:Loader id=myloader source=
SimpleSWF.swf complete=onComplete()/private function onComplete(): void{ var swf: MovieClip = MovieClip(myloader.content); swf.gotoAndPlay(...);
}My problem is that I can't access additional methods/properties that are declared in the loaded swf. I've seen a Flex 1.5 example where you can just go ahead and call those methods on the MovieClip instance, but that doesn't seem to work in Flex 2. I've tried casting it to an Object to get around the compiler, but I just end up with a runtime error.

Re: [flexcoders] embed a movieclip
Ok, I found something interesting about this. You can actually access properties in the loaded swf but trying to call a function messes up. The function is actually there, but it isn't recognized as a function. For example, my Flash8 swf has a function named callMe. I load this into my Flex2 app and then trace
swf.callMe and I actually get [object Object]. But if try to call it via swf.callMe(), I get a runtime error: Call attempted on an object that is not a function.Ironically, you can actually access getter/setter functions. Since they're considered properties, I guess they're good to go. It's a useable workaround at this point.

Re: [flexcoders] embed a movieclip
Yes, I was able to successfully call a setter property. I put arbitrary code in the function and it worked out fine. The only gotcha is that the getter/setter must be attached to a MovieClip instance inside the SWF. So you have to associate a class with a library MC, place it on the stage and give it an instance name. Then in the Flex code:
var swf: MovieClip = MovieClip(myloader.content);var mc: MovieClip = MovieClip(swf.getChildByName(myMC));mc.myText = xxx; //setterI'm really hoping there's an easier way...or this gets fixed in the next release.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] embed a movieclip
Ok, I found something interesting about this. You can
actually access properties in the loaded swf but trying to call a function
messes up. The function is actually there, but it isn't recognized as a
function. For example, my Flash8 swf has a function named callMe.
I load this into my Flex2 app and then trace swf.callMe and I actually get
[object Object]. But if try to call it via swf.callMe(), I get a runtime
error: Call attempted on an object that is not a function.Ironically,
you can actually access getter/setter functions. Since they're considered
properties, I guess they're good to go. It's a useable workaround at this
point.

and then use its content property:mx:Loader id=myloader source=
SimpleSWF.swf complete=onComplete()/private function
onComplete(): void{ var swf: MovieClip =
MovieClip(myloader.content);
swf.gotoAndPlay(...);}My problem is that I can't access additional
methods/properties that are declared in the loaded swf. I've seen a Flex
1.5 example where you can just go ahead and call those methods on the
MovieClip instance, but that doesn't seem to work in Flex 2. I've tried
casting it to an Object to get around the compiler, but I just end up with a

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Tree control in Flex 2 Beta 1
Michael,Thanks for your timely response. It does clear up a few things. My comment about the XML approach being more supported was an (admittedly) obscure reference to my own experiments with the ITreeDataDescriptor interface. It again goes back to visually updating the Tree. If the dataProvider is XML, I can edit the XML objects directly and the changes are reflected in the Tree. However, if the dataProvider is a nested Object (with children fields), how does the Tree get notified if the data is changed? Do we manually call the notifyItemUpdate() method?
Anyway, below is a simple MXML file that demonstrates the bugs I saw with the Tree. It opens the root node on startup. Click Add to root to add a child to the root node. An empty row will show up. Click Add to child to try to add a child to Child2. It crashes my browser.

[flexcoders] Bug with Tree disclosure icon

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2 addTreeNode
To answer your specific question about adding nodes... Since you have an XML dataProvider, the selectedNode property will return an XML object.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Tree control in Flex 2 Beta 1
I'm really at a lost as to how we're supposed to work with the hierarchical data that's used with the Tree component. The XML approach seems to be the most supported at the moment, so consider this simple XML: var rootNode: XML =
node label=Root node label=Child1/ node label=Child2/ /nodeThe dataProvider for the Tree then becomes an XMLListCollection. It displays fine. But now what's the expected way to modify the data so that the Tree updates? From the docs, I read:
You can use the ICollectionView interface with list-based or hierarchical
data. The following sections describe the basic ICollectionView operations using
a list-based collection, but can also apply to similar operations on a
hierarchical collection.How is ICollectionView used with hierarchical data? Michael Montagna gave a hint in the quoted code at the bottom, but it seems like XMLListCollection is no more hierarchy-aware than ArrayCollection. If I use a cursor with the above example, I find that the collection has just one item--the root node. I can add siblings to the root node via the cursor, but that's not very useful. How do I get to the children via the collection/cursor?
So then I tried modifying the XML objects directly. I tried doing this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] = Hello;And to my surprise, the Tree updated! So I thought this was the answer. Well, sort of. With the root node open in the Tree, I tried this:
rootNode.appendChild(node label=Child3/);The Tree does update itself with a new row, but it shows up empty (I can select it, though). If I collapse and expand the root, Child3 shows up ok. Now, if I try this:
rootNode.node[1].appendChild(node label=Child3/);The Flash Player crashes, taking the browser with it. Looks like converting a leaf to a branch while it's being displayed is a no-no. Works ok if the root node is collapsed.
Anyway, it looks like the Tree does get alerted for changes made directly to the XML. Is this an expected/acceptable way of doing things? And it just happens to be really buggy right now? Or are we supposed to go through the collection? If so, how?
Suggestions?On 2/1/06, Michael Montagna [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Here's a wordy example to add a leaf node:public function addTree() {var collection:ICollectionView = ICollectionView(myTree.dataProvider);var cursor:IViewCursor = collection.getCursor

[flexcoders] Passing nested objects to ColdFusion via WebService
I'm attempting to call a CFC from a Flex 2.0 app. I would prefer to use RemoteObject but our ColdFusion server is running on Linux so we've got no Flex Connectivity. So I'm still using the WebService object to make calls via SOAP. This works fine normally, but things mess up if I try to pass a nested object to the CFC. Here's a simple example CFC method I'm trying to call:
cffunction name=testMethod access=remote returntype=string cfargument name=data type=struct required=yes cfreturn
data.name/cffunctionIn my Flex app, I create a WebService object:mx:WebService id=service wsdl=... result=onResult(event) fault=onFault(event)/
If I call it the following way, everything works fine:var parm: Object = new Object();parm.name = XXX;
service.testMethod(parm);I can add as many scalar properties to parm as I want. However, as soon as I add an Object property, it messes up. eg:
parm.name = XXX;parm.stuff = {id:123};The service generates a fault and I get the generic HTTP request error. The fault detail isn't that helpful:
Error: [IOErrorEvent type=ioError bubbles=false cancelable=false text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://...]. URL: http://... The server logs aren't that helpful either. Our CF server is fronted by Apache. The Apache logs do show a 500 result for the request (but nothing else). However, the CF logs show nothing at all. It's like the call/error never happened.
I never had this kind of problem when I used Flash Remoting with Flash MX. Can anybody shed some light on this?

Re: [flexcoders] Closable Panel? (flex2)
I ran into a similar situation a while ago where I needed to add stuff to the panel's title bar. While it's possible to use a Canvas to lay stuff on top of a Panel, this doesn't work if you're trying to create a re-useable custom Panel because the resulting component is a subclass of Canvas, not Panel. If you try to use it in MXML, you'll be adding children to the enclosing Canvas, which is not what you want. What I ended up doing was subclassing Panel via AS only and then overriding the createChildren() and updateDisplayList() methods. It just so happened that the Panel's title bar object, titleBar, was declared public so I was able to accessi it and add children to it. I've no idea if this still works in the Beta as I've yet to try it.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Custom Tree Icons Flex 2.0
After playing with it for a while, I wasn't able to set the icon of a branch, but I was able for a leaf, though it's not that straightforward. [Embed('item_bullet.png')]private var ITEM_BULLET_ICON: Class;
mx:Tree iconField=icon / mx:dataProvider mx:XMLnode label=Node1 icon=Test2_ITEM_BULLET_ICON

I think the problem here is that the ListBase class (which Tree inherits from) requires a reference to the class when specifying the icon. When I used a List component, the only way I got the icon to show up was to put the following in the Array dataprovider:
mx:Object label=Item1 icon={ITEM_BULLET_ICON}You can't do something like that for an XML dataprovider cause that XML is just seen as raw data, so you have to specify the name of the class to get it to work.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2: Component inheritance?
No, there were no visual children in Base--just an empty canvas. I tried what you suggested and created Base using ActionScript only and that worked just fine. Thanks. However, it does bring up the question: Why doesn't the MXML approach work? Is it a bug?
On 12/30/05, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Did you put any visual children in Base?
If you did it's not going to work because you can't have declared
children in a parent component and subcomponent (though we may describe how to
simulate that in some of our docs with other features).
You can try rewriting Base.mxml to be
Base.as if there weren't visual children
Public class Base extends Canvas

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 2:
Component inheritance?
I'm relatively new to
Flex 2 and what I'm trying to do is to create a set of custom MXML components
that share the same AS base class. So I start with the base component, an
empty container to which I add properties/methods via AS. Call it Base.mxml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml
xmlns=*
mx:Script source=Base_inc.as/ !-- Declare
base properties/methods --
/mx:Canvas
Then I create a component based on Base. I add a Button and a
TextInput. Call it ComponentA.mxml :
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
Base xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml
xmlns=*
mx:Script
source=ComponentA_inc.as/ !--
Component-specific code --
mx:Button x=5 y=41
label=Button/
mx:TextInput x=2 y=12
text=hello id=MyText/
/Base
Then I add ComponentA to an application. Everything looks fine in the
design view. However, when the app is run, the controls added by
ComponentA do not show up. I put in a creationComplete handler for
ComponentA and traced the value of MyText and it came out null, so
it looks like it never got created.
Am I missing something? If this isn't how you do component inheritance,
then how can it be done while still taking advantage of the easy layout offered
by MXML?

[flexcoders] Flex 2: Component inheritance?
I'm relatively new to Flex 2 and what I'm trying to do is to create a set of custom MXML components that share the same AS base class. So I start with the base component, an empty container to which I add properties/methods via AS. Call it Base.mxml:?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml xmlns=* mx:Script source=Base_inc.as/ !-- Declare base properties/methods --/mx:CanvasThen I create a component based on Base. I add a Button and a TextInput. Call it ComponentA.mxml :?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?Base xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml xmlns=* mx:Script source=ComponentA_inc.as/ !-- Component-specific code -- mx:Button x=5 y=41 label=Button/ mx:TextInput x=2 y=12 text=hello id=MyText//BaseThen I add ComponentA to an application. Everything looks fine in the design view. However, when the app is run, the controls added by ComponentA do not show up. I put in a creationComplete handler for ComponentA and traced the value of MyText and it came out null, so it looks like it never got created. Am I missing something? If this isn't how you do component inheritance, then how can it be done while still taking advantage of the easy layout offered by MXML? -- 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!
