Re: [flexcoders] Re: popup on screen certer? [1 Attachment]
Mark-
I don't know what you did to test this, but I was not guessing at my
answer. This is something I actually use (FB 4.6, btw, in case that
matters). As my gift to you, here is my simple Alert component that
extends s:SkinnablePopUpContainer (attached as a ZIP and also pasted
into the message, since I don't know which will work best on the list).
As you can see, it calls PopUpManager.centerPopUp(this) when it is first
added to the stage and also anytime it receives a Resize event while it
is open. Some of the component is borrowed from tutorials I've seen on
the web, but the code to handle resizing and centering was my own work.

For example, you cram a bunch of MXML in a mx:Module and load that in an mx:ModuleLoader and it just works. But it gets trickier when using popups. Usually you have to call PopUpManager from AS anyway and you can choose the moduleFactory to pass in. Is the Window and DataGrid in one MXML file? Maybe instead of calling new MyWindow() you can use moduleFactory.create(some.package.MyWindow) and that will get things going in the right direction. I suspect the DataGroups worked because they don't have skins or the skins were in the main app. The DataGrid's styles are probably in the same module SWF as the DataGrid. The problem is that if the DataGrid's moduleFactory is pointing at the main app, it won't find the styles in there.

[flexcoders] Error TooTips in Spark Forms
What I'm discovering about Spark Forms is that error messaging is inside the form item container and unless I make the form large enough to accommodate the error message I might see some unexpected layout issues such as the error text appearing over the form element, etc. Pretty darned ugly. What I'd prefer is to have the error tips appear over the form and not be constrained by the form dimensions.

RE: [flexcoders] flex2gateway error
It could very well be that your request response time is exceeding the default time out for Remote Objects, but I'm not sure about app not working *at all* after that. This can create the intermittent behavior you're seeing, depending on load or query response time from the app's database. In AIR this is a real problem because on windows, the request times out at 30 seconds no matter what you do. But you say you're running a Flex app so, you *should* be able to set the requestTimeout on your RemoteObject to a higher value and see a mitigation of the behavior. HTH.

Running on Windows on Apache. Everything seems to work fine but then randomly (as far as I can tell) I'll start getting those flex2gateway errors: [RPC Fault faultString=Send failed faultCode=Client.Error.MessageSend faultDetail=Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed: url: 'http://localhost/flex2gateway/'] Everything I've read on this list and elsewhere refers to this error appearing when the gateway isn't working...but it seems to be for me. When I manually call the URL above (http://localhost/flex2gateway/) I get the whitepage that is expected (I double-checked the headers and they do give me 200 response). Once this error appears I have a VERY hard time getting rid of it and getting my application to run again. I've tried restarting Apache, ColdFusion, even rebooting, I've tried rebuilding the project, I've tried manually setting the gateway in my remote object tags. Nothing seems to work, but invariably it *will* go away for a time, everything will run correctly...and then boom, it shows up again and I'm stuck again.

We are *supposed* to get licenses where I work for it, but they seem to be held up so I was able to at least install a license for Standard...which does not include the Network Monitor feature. I know I had it turned onand the error seems to suggest that it's still behaving as if it's turned on...but I can't actually access it due to not having a Premium license.

RE: [flexcoders] Vote For This Critiical RemoteObject bug
Kelly, valid point and I've already spent considerable time optimizing things to reduce the size and improve the response time of individual requests. Pagination is only one of the scenarios. There are situations such as during application start up where routine requests can take longer than you think they should. Bottom line, however, it is the decision of the developer to have longer requests or not, and this should not be pre-determined for them by the framework - that's why you have the requestTimeout parameter in the first place. It works as expected on the Mac, just not on Windows.

RE: [flexcoders] FocusManager Bug in Flex 4
Alex, I'm so far along with the workaround, I don't know if I'm going to see it again - hopefully not. My workaround is to display the popup and simply show/hide it without using PopUpManager to remove it. Somehow the removal of the popup combined with FocusManager is producing the behavior.

RE: [flexcoders] Detecting Browser Re-Size
Nick, Steve,
Thanks for your input. To provide a little background data - I'm using the
DrumbeatInsight HTML component, which works pretty well so long as you're
left-aligned. But when the Flex content is center aligned, the IFrame overlay
does not compensate. So I was thinking along the lines of what Steve was
saying - listen to window resize and use external interface to have Flex
re-position the html content. I was really hoping for a solution that was less
of a hack and I'm hoping that it works well with multiple IFrames open at once
(which is my use-case).

Can you expand a little on the page layout you ha.vehttp://ha.ve that needs
to change?.. You might be able to just use CSS to position some DIV tags in a
fluid layout and your SWF is in one DIV, your IFRAME in another and when the
browser resizes, the browser handles the moving using relative positioning.
So maybe forget that you've got an IFRAME and SWF, this fluid layout concept
will apply to any HTML objects such as two images.
Hope that helps somehow... (unless I've misread your problem?)

Cheers Jeff. I'm sure that'd work too. I've found a way around it and can now
allow users to upload without the browse. The problem is though I now want it
to upload the file without it having to save it on the user's machine first. At
the moment my code snapshots the html component, saves this as a bitmapdata,
resizes this bitmapdata, then a jpegencoder turns this bitmapdata into a jpg
file which is named after whatever the user has entered into a text input
component in my app. It then uploads this jpeg from the location it's saved to.
I'm wondering is there any way of me editing my code so it uploads the jpeg
straight away rather than storing it on the machine too? Here's my script code
containing the function which does all this:-
mx:Script

}
private function takeSnapshot(event:Event) :void{

var scale:Number = 0.50;
var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();

var smallbmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(bigbmd.width *

var ba:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(smallbmd);
var enteredimagename:String = titleentry.text;
var file:File =

var wr:File = new File(file.nativePath);
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();

And of course, as Adobe is fond of saying, Flash will push the envelope as to what is possible. It will remains to be seen how compelling a case Flash makes for itself, but I'm not going to drop kick Flash just Steve Jobs says I should. He ain't my pal.

Adobe could, I'm sure, alter their Flash development tools to output SVG+Javascript. In fact, I'd be surprised if they hadn't already experimented with this. If Adobe was as smart as they think they are, they'd RIGHT NOW fast-track SVG+Javascript export into Flex and Flash IDEs. This would let them become the premier tool for developing iPhone apps, standards-based web vector animations and would encourage adoption of open standards at such a rate that it'd hobble Silverlight into the bargain! Flash is here because standards sucks. When standards will be good enough, flash will disappear, bunt won't happen anytime soon. Of course that is just an idle dream, and instead they will keep pushing their proprietary solution and wait for the killer open-standards IDE that will allow developers to make full use of HTML 5 to pop up and change the market for them. Then we will see Flash become a thing of the past. eg check this out http://demo.sproutcore.com/sample_controls/ Look familiar? Look ma! NO plugins, just HTML 5! I don't know for others, but it reminds me of Flash 5 ten years old with extra crossbrowser issues. Let me think... hell no, don't want to go there :) Maybe in few years HTML will be like flash 8, and few more years it will be like flash 10. There will be flash 16 and AS4 by the time, another gap for HTML to reach. So, yeah, good luck with your HTML mate, I wish you good luck, really. Vale Flash, you have been good to us, but your time is drawing to a close. Steve Jobs has seen the future, and Flash ain't there. Guy The future where Apple dictates what you can install on your phone, what you can see on the web, what music you can listen ? Sound great, see you there :)
RE: [flexcoders] Re: With the latest eula agreement from Apple
Well put, Gregor. It does in fact seem that Apple is treated as more important than it really is, in terms of market share. Give that to their marketing and the support of fanatical fan boys and tech pundits. Just heard an ad last night for a Netbook touting that it's Flash Enabled - its possible that Apple's strategy of exclusion might backfire. It certainly seems silly on Apple's part to limit apps because of the source. That's like saying we only want e-books for our device that were written using a specific word processor.

[flexcoders] Re: Using an ArrayCollection to populate a Tree component
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the data descriptor is essentially a node visitor.
It will tell the tree how to render a given node. However, it has no way of
adding nodes to previous nodes (ie groups). Take this scenario:
[
{group:animal, item:cat},
{group:fruit, item:apple},
{group:animal, item:dog},
{group:fruit, item:orange}
]
Using the ITreeDataDescriptor, you'd end up with a tree structure like this:
-animal
--cat
-fruit
--apple
-animal
--dog
-fruit
--orange
when what you want is this:
-animal
--cat
--dog
-fruit
--apple
--orange
I just discovered ITreeDataDescriptor2. It looks like that might handle that
scenario?

I'm assuming this is basically your desired tree structure:

{group:group2, items:[item,item,item]},

Then, you can use a dataDescriptor to tell the tree what properties of the
item object you want to display. The tree is packaged with a default
dataDescriptor, so your data either has to conform to its conventions to
display properly or you have to override it.
Implementing a very basic ITreeDataDescriptor and putting your debugger on it

One of the problems with the code sample below is that its going to fire off a

Some architectural pattern is going to be necessary if the app is of any size and has a team working on it. Otherwise, each developer will solve their problems in their own way and can lead to chaos. You can formulate the architectural pattern yourself or use a published framework. As you said, using a published framework in some ways might make it easier to bring developers on board. Frameworks are intended to be implementations of architectural patterns - the framework choice IMO is based upon what gives you the best balance of freedom to solve your problems as you choose, with ways of solving problems without having to reinvent the wheel all the time. I've used Cairngorm a lot in the past, but I've kind of soured on it - doesn't solve enough problems, IMO. It is NOT module-friendly; in particular the ModelLocator singleton does not lend itself to unloading modules. I'm liking the direction that Cairngorm 3 is taking - it is less a proscriptive framework than a collection of best practices and libraries you can choose to use or not. It does use the capabilities of Parsley for wiring the application together and so far in my projects, it works great. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of tntomek Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 5:29 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Framework Choice Thumbs up for just using Flex SDK as the framework.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Framework Choice
Even if you organize your code to some sort of internally formulated organization, you're already kind of using a framework - of your own creation. The disadvantage to that IMO, as soon as you start writing one you now become responsible for documenting your particular approach and communicating it to developers who might also work on your project. If your project needs to scale, using a published framework gives you the ability to find resources who also know the framework, and gets them up to speed more quickly. I've been on projects (otherwise known as nightmares) where the previous developer used no framework, and didn't document what they did. I remember one in particular where it was stated that it might take 6 months to get up to speed on the way the app was built. That's just a waste of time and money. All that said, I've used Cairngorm for years and the original version, while workable, is taking a back seat to IOC frameworks. I'm using Cairngorm 3 and Parsley and I really like the development model.

[flexcoders] BlazeDS collections help

If so, any insights, tips, tricks would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using the RemoteClass metadata tag but ArrayCollection is failing to convert back to a ListString java object. Thanks.
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 4....Large recordset...how much is too much?
Sounds like you need to decouple the scrollbar from the list control so that you can set the scroll bar min/max values based upon the size of the dataset, which would have to be returned as metadata, independently of the entire dataset. You move the scrollbar, an rpc call is made, and a section of the dataset is returned and rendered. This would eliminate the memory hit from bringing over a huge dataset of AS objects in one shot. The latency over the wire shouldn't be too bad, because at any given time you're only requesting a small portion of the total records. No point in returning more records that the user can practically interact with at any one time. See the VScrollBar control.

If you use up more than 500MB the Browser and Flash Player start getting creaky, but otherwise I would expect things to work.

[flexcoders] NetConnection.Call.Failed - Need to diagnose
I've built an AIR app using Cairngorm 2.x. My RemoteObjects are stored in the ServiceLocator singleton. Intermittently, users will get NetConnection.Call.Failed. Possibly this is a performance issue with the ColdFusion service layer where specific calls are timing out or possibly the RO's connection timing out on its own. One possible approach is simply to re-try on error but that kinda feels like a brute force approach. Any advice appreciated!

PCI Compliance is a nightmare. ;) I'm sure Amazon.com goes through the process of being PCI compliant; and has high level security for storing and encrypting credit cards. For example, I'm sure their credit card storage machines are in a secure building [with guards and limited access] on machines that are only accessible by sitting at the machine or via a secure VPN connection. And I'm sure routine audits are done by outside companies, although I don't know the frequency they need to occur. Additionally, every time they release new code; it needs to be reviewed by some party independent of the developer. Etc.. etc.. Putting together a PCI compliant environment is easily a $100K proposition if you aren't storing credit cards. I'm sure Amazon.com spends much more than that on a yearly basis. For the rest of us go to a company like Authorize.net [or similar] that provides subscription billing services.

The webservice is working, and the Flex HTTPService is pulling the JSON string down, but there doesn't seem to be anything analogous to the complete property that was available with the asynch data connection in the AIR app. Not so lovely. The result-handler specified in the HTTPService responder has two parameters, the ResultEvent and the AsyncToken. The ResultEvent exposes a statusCode property. The result-handler can be called more than once. The ResultEvent.statusCode = 200 each time the handler is called. How do you know when the remote data are complete?

Hello, I have a LineChart with selectionMode = multiple, living inside a container and finally a ViewStack. I'm getting this error: cannot convert mx.charts.events::chartitemev...@ea1e341 to mx.events.IndexChangedEvent. If I remove the selectionMode attribute, everything works fine, except I need the LineChart and its associated LineSeries to be selectable. Anyone encountered this?
