[flexcoders] styles are ignored
This Flex app loads in a module, and an external stylesheet (no, I can't get into why). When I put my mx:Style source=defaults.css / in the app, they don't show up. If I trace out the CSSStyleDeclaration in creationComplete it's null. The code doesn't allow me to compile with -keep-generated-actionscript, so it's not easy for me to figure out why. So: 1. why the hell is it ignoring my syles; I have things like Selectors that are unique, yet aren't in StyleManager at all...? 2. If I load them in dynamically as a SWF, will that fix it?

[flexcoders] Flex Profiler Questions
1. Why doesn't he show assets (bitmaps, fonts, ... the things that take the most RAM)? Profiler reports 6 megs, but System.totalMemory reports 40 megs. No other SWF is open on the system beyond that one (so as not to pollute System.totalMemory accounting for multiple SWF's). 2. I had some XML accounting for 150 megs of 190 megs, yet the profiler didn't show it; said 21 megs. I ran garbage collection multiple times in the profiler, but it still stayed around. Why isn't it picking this massive chunk up? 3. What are Method Closure; event listeners? 4. Running code in Flash, I can confirm from both viewing memory via System.totalMemory + having a timer that traces out a message on every tick that a SWF is in fact unloaded from a Loader in Flash Player 10. Running this code in the profiler shows the Loader never unloading (yes, I'm compiling for 10 and yes I'm using unloadAndStop; remember, same code). The profiler claims Loader still has it's instance around and the timer doesn't die with his weak listener... but does running in Flash.
[flexcoders] Inconsistant linkage, 'isNaN' is marked as extern, but '__AS3__.vec:Vector$int' is not.
When trying to create a library project with AIR as an external library, I keep getting the above error. I've tried multiple SDK's, using Flex Builder, Eclipse plugin, and the ANT tasks; all result in the same error.
[flexcoders] Apple + O in AIR 1.5 on Mac

[flexcoders] Shape blocking mouse down
I'm drawing a horizontal timeline graph, my own component, not Flex charting. The horizontal bars are blocking the mouse down event from reaching a component in a lower depth. I'm confused because I've set the parent, the children, and everything near there's mouseChildren and mouseEnabled to false, yet the contents of the rows, little squares, block the mouse down event. Doing tests in Flash, I've proven those are the only 2 properties you need to set to false, even with nested containers, and cacheAsBitmap set to true. I have no events on this children; they are just a bunch of Shapes inside a Sprite, with his mouseChildren and mouseEnabled set to false as well. So, I'm confused. I know UIComponent sets your doubleClickEnabled to true, but tracing my components out, they seem to all say false for those values. What could possibly be causing those Shapes in a Sprite to be blocking the mouse down events?
[flexcoders] Image Data Caching
Anyone already built an image caching solution? What about data? I have the need to cache an immense amount of images and data locally. No, I cannot use AIR. Since I cannot depend on the browser cache, I'm currently using a modified version of Ely's SuperImage, and plan on saving the images as compressed ByteArray's in local SharedObjects. We have no qualms asking the user to up the settings the SharedObject settings panel, unlimited even. For data, we're doing the same thing. While I don't mind writing my own, this project is time intensive, so was curious if someone has already built a local caching engine for ActionScript data objects and images.
[flexcoders] Compressing BitmapData
How can you compress BitmapData in Flash to reduce the amount of RAM it uses? I need to scrub H264 video frame by frame. You cannot do this utilizing NetStream.seek because it seeks to the nearest keyframe. This would require the video to consist of nothing but keyframes. Naturally this is not an option for file size and playback performance reasons. So, what I did was record a 10 second section of the video using BitmapData.draw ( t3hV1d30 ), shove the captures in an Array, and playback in a simple Bitmap swapper. It works well, allowing me to scrub frame by frame... ... except for the RAM; it takes 30 to 40 megs for just 10 seconds of 640x480 captures. Someone mentioned ByteArray.deflate. Looking for any ideas on how to reduce the RAM cost here??? -- sorry for the x-post for those on Flash_Tiger --

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Chrome behind content?
Thanks Michael, I'll try your code. Paul, if you look in mx.containers.Container, you can see how they override and abstract the DisplayList API so that you have 2 types of children; raw and regular. This allows you to have those you put in Canvas and those that make Panel. For example, the title bar, close button, title, etc. are NOT something you want inside your Panel container to interact with your children. If you put a CheckBox control into a Panel, you would expect only 1 child to be in your container (numChildren, getChildAt(0), etc.). This allows you to build container components for others to use without knowing how your child setup works. On 3/11/07, Paul DeCoursey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not really sure what that is all about, Background isn't chrome it is background. Children need to be in front of background. I know at one point I was having trouble with a background rendering over some graphical elements that I had. So to fix that I did my graphical elements on a child item, that way the canvas background rendered behind my content. I'm not sure you have the same issue, but perhaps you could use that technique to solve your issue. Create a container with two children, one for display elements and one for chrome. Add the chrome first and the children second and your children will be above the chrome.

Obviously, setChildIndex doesn't work at this point because the base class owns those methods as proxies now. The hack, for now, is to NOT have my chrome draw a background.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Chrome behind content?
Grr... works for everything but my Label. Keeps whining about antiAlias being null. Had this happen last night (this morning?) when the TextField isn't in the DisplayList, but gets measure called on 'em. Fuggit, everything else works; thanks a bunch Michael! On 3/11/07, Jesse Warden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Michael, I'll try your code. Paul, if you look in mx.containers.Container, you can see how they override and abstract the DisplayList API so that you have 2 types of children; raw and regular. This allows you to have those you put in Canvas and those that make Panel. For example, the title bar, close button, title, etc. are NOT something you want inside your Panel container to interact with your children. If you put a CheckBox control into a Panel, you would expect only 1 child to be in your container (numChildren, getChildAt(0), etc.). This allows you to build container components for others to use without knowing how your child setup works.

I know at one point I was having trouble with a background rendering over some graphical elements that I had. So to fix that I did my graphical elements on a child item, that way the canvas background rendered behind my content. I'm not sure you have the same issue, but perhaps you could use that technique to solve your issue. Create a container with two children, one for display elements and one for chrome. Add the chrome first and the children second and your children will be above the chrome.

Re: [flexcoders] Alternative to Repeater
Well, only problem with Composition is it's now a black box; that can be
good or bad. For example, if your class is the only one ever operating on
the custom Repeater, then sure, that's fine. However, if you ever want to
expose those methods, you have to write proxy methods for them all
including re-doing all the getters and setters.
So, using a List in a form via composition is fine; you have buttons in
that form that add/delete items from the list. From that point on,
however, no one else can ever interact with that lists data.
...unless you expose the dataProvider, or the dataProvider is public. If
it is, you can only operate on that dataProvider via the dataProvider API.
If that's ok with you, that's ok with me. IF, however, you are building
a re-usable View, then that isn't very eloquent. Just depends on how your
going to use it. List for example can be extended if you want. Most
people, however, use it via composition.
Thanks. That make it a lot clearer.
Although, am not sure I understand why you would use the mixin
approach here compared to using Composition.
Are there any benefits of doing it this way as opposed to say:
Embed a dataProvider inside Comp.mxml and have the comp listen for and
handle the modelChanged event of the DP ?
TIA

In a nutshell, DataSelector is a mixin. A mixin adds methods and
properties to a class at runtime. Since you cannot do multiple
inheritance
in ActionScript, using a mixin is a way around that. DataSelector adds
dataProvider powers to a class:
DataSelector.initialize(YourClass);
Any class that utilizes DataSelector gets a length property.
DataSelector
gives a class pretty much all the DataProvider methods (which are really
proxies to the dataProvider it contains a reference to), length being
one of
them. So:
yourComponent.length
is the same as:
yourComponent.dataProvider.length
Yes, modelChanged fires everytime you use a DataProvider method on a
dataProvider or dataProvider component.
a = [one, two, three];
yourComponent.dataProvider = a;
a.addItem(cow); // fires modelChanged
a.push(cheese); // does not fire modelChanged
yourComponent.addItem(moo); // fires modelChanged
ModelChanged actually has an object that is passed to it, the event
object, that has information about what changed. You can use a switch
statement to know what changed, and how, and more intelligently draw
your
component. A note; this is a fuoi$%(*)$% load of work. If you don't
believe me, go look in DataGrid.as.
So, to be lazy, I just ignore it and redraw everytime. Keep in mind,
even
if you use the code above, it'll only redraw once:
- modelChanged fired for setting the dataProvider
- modelChanged fired for adding cow to it
- modelChagned fired for addingmoo to it
Since I use a doLater, and only 1, it'll only redraw once per frame.

Thanks for the help.
Couple of question
1 .What do you mean by - utilize Data Selector on that class ?
2. In the redrawForm method what does the value length represent.
If it is the length of the dataProvider, am not clear how that was
established
3. Does modelChanged fire every time the dataProvider changes?
If so seems like it would redraw the entire form even if only one item
in
the array changed (say using addItem).
Thanks,

You basically do:
- create a new abstract base class for your component as ActionScript
- utilize DataSelector on that class
- extend that class in a new file
- have the new file do something like this
function modelChanged()
{
cancelAllDoLaters();
doLater(this, redrawForm);
}
function redrawForm()
{
canvas_mc.destroyAllChildren();
var i:Number = length;
while(i--)
{
var item:Object = getItemAt(i);
canvas_mc.createChild(SomeComponent);
}
}
What is happening here is whenever the dataProvider changes, the form
is
redrawn. It's only redrawn once per frame in case dataProvider has 50
billion changes.
If you see the createChild call for the canvas, basically you could
put
in logic, say, to create images, and then call load on them based on
the url
for the current item.
Then, you can finally use that AS component as MXML elsewhere. Make
sense?
