[flexcoders] DataGrid with content spanning several columns
Hi All,I need a DataGrid with the ability to have a row where some of the contents span across columns. It might sound a bit odd - here is maybe a bit more of a concrete example.The first column contains a zip code, 2nd column contains the name of a town, underneath both columns - i.e. spanning them - there is an address. So I still want the ability to e.g. sort on zip code etc, and all the nice things that the DataGrid gives me - drag and drop columns etc.Any ideas how to accomplish this? I have thought of maybe doing something in the drawRowBackgrounds() - but maybe there is a better or easier way.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex release version: XML attribute string too long
Hi,No nasty characters - just escaped ones.It turns out that it is not that the string is too long - it is because it contains some escape sequences - it just happens to be that these strings are extra long. Something like lt;ligt; makes it break - amp; works though. Also, something like #60; fails. If you have something like #13; in your XML the app cannot even compile. All of these are perfectly good XML!The above is using the mx:XML source.../ construct where the XML is sucked in at compile time and the AS structure is created.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex release version: XML attribute string too long
Loading a XML file via mx:XML... source= is pretty much the same as having it inline - it is converted into an AS structure at compile time and that is where things go wrong.It is easy to show that it fails. mx:XML id=test root test1 desc=this little piggy does work amp; / test2 desc=this little piggy does NOT work lt;ligt; for a list item at runtime / test3 desc=this little piggy does NOT even compile #13; / /root/mx:XMLIt works fine with loading the XML via HTTPService using the exact same XML - so I think it is a bug with the XML being converted at compile time.

Hi everyone,I know this question is a bit nebulous - but not as bad as how long is a piece of string.Has anyone had any experience of integrating e-forms with Flex?

Those nolabel ones should not show up in the Tree. I have tried looking at filter functions and label functions andacustom renderer - but I do not really get it working properly.

[flexcoders] Flash custom components in Flex 2
Hi everyone,In the Flex 1.5 docs there was a section on how to make a custom component in Flash and how to export it etc for use in Flex. I have noticed that this content is missing from the new Flex 2 docs.
Is this not encouraged anymore or have they just not been included?I have tried to make a swc component using the directions in the old docs. I am not very good with Flash at all - but here is what I did:
I am trying something simple - I create a graphic in Flash - in the library, I make the graphic to be a component called Navigator and I have an associated .as class file like this:class Navigator extends
mx.core.UIComponent { static var symbolName:String=Navigator; static var symbolOwner:Object=Navigator; var className:String=Navigator; function Navigator() {
} function init() { super.init(); invalidate(); }}I then export this as a swc and call it Navigator.swc. I place this swc file in the root of my app - the same place where the mxml files are. In my
main.mxml I then try and instantiate it as Navigator /The Flex Builder compiler then says 'Could not resolve Navigator to be a component implementation.Do I need to do anything else?
The end result needs (I guess once I have the basic thing above working) is to have a graphic with a bunch of objects of different shapes that are actually buttons - but they do not look like buttons - they have irregualr edges and I need to be able to disable/enable them from Flex and monitor in Flex when they get clicked etc.
Any idea as to where I am going wrong?ThanksJonathan

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Server Alternatives
It DOES affect the developer - few companies can afford the high prices and you are out of a job. I think at the moment pointless for any developer to learn Flex with the few limited opportunities. The place I am currently working is the only one in town that does this work. I think if you look on any of the job boards there will be next to nothing. To them Flex still means a working condition (i.e. flex hours!) Unless an open source/hosting environment can be established, I think it is doomed. So far Flex is far too niche to have any traction. The open source community/IBM seems to have chosen Laszlo. Microsoft and Sparkle is on its way. Macromedia has wasted the head-start they had. Once the Microsoft propaganda machine kicks into gear... Just having a superior product does not translate into a viable product. my 2c On 9/28/05, Tracy Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The issue of cost doesn't affect the developer since you can get the perpetual developer license for free.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: If I buy a flex license can I host other peoples apps on the license?
On a slightly different note. I can tell you that in our multibillion dollar organization Flex is most likely about to be thrown out. We were going to buy something like 8 or 14 additional licenses to the multitude we already have, and the pricing is just totally ridiculous for what we need it for. Management is ready to cut their losses and redevelop with something non-proprietary and we (the ones that really wanted Flex) have egg on our faces. I think we have come to the point where MM has priced Flex totally out of the market.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: If I buy a flex license can I host other peoples apps on the license?
Hi, If you have ever worked for a large corp, you will know that in the end, things are made up of small depts with maybe small pots of budgets. Only difference is that there are people that make decisionson how the pot of money is spent. And then there are committees that make decisions (e.g. corporate architecture) - unless you have buy-in from all of those, they will not go to bat for you. Each of those have a voice in the end. The people that negotiate pricing is one of those groups. If you end up with several groups against you, then you are in trouble. In our case, our app is considered important, but not critical by all means. It was however the first one to use Flex and would have been an example of what can be done. Since we started working on it, the corporate IT has taken a very different direction and large parts of work is being sourced out to outside vendors. We need many licenses because we have so many environments - we have clustered weblogic instances over many different geographic regions - for each of those, we have development, testing, staging and production systems - they very quickly add up. Unfortunately due to the nature of what we do, you cannot just share a bunch of systems on a single unix box or watever to save on licenses. The fact that MM has just been taken over by Adobe is also not helping the situation as it is creating more uncertainty. They are not sure if Flex is going to disappear or what the commitment is to it. In our case, other than selling us something, I do not believe anyone from MM has ever contacted us again to try and maintain an ongoing relationship (from what I know). So all these things start to add up. The fact that we can make changes very quickly and create a very good quality product is not necessarily the determining factor at the end of the day. I think a big part of the problem is that we have a 'I told you so' situation now. We went for something proprietary, and now that we need to expand, we are basically held to ransom. That kind of thing scares companies. Flex did not go through the same amout of scrutiny as other products to be officially approved and considered a strategic direction. We can sit here and postulate for hours and hours about how stupid all of this is and how this is a drop in the bucket - and I agree. Unfortunately we are not the ones writing the cheque at the end of the day. Apparantly the sales person we are dealing with now is new to us - maybe he will come up with something creative.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex on the Web
I can attest to this. Our app has been developent for well over a year, and in production for about 10 months, yet no-one on the outisde has ever seen it. Large companies have all kinds of business/competitive reasons for releasing (or not as in our case) stuff to the outside world. Also I can tell you that in our case, a typical (short) release cycle lasts about 3 months, at least two of which is spent testing and about 3 weeks for development. We connect to so many complex back-end systems that testing is very difficult. We have had about 4 releases with Flex. I think at any time we probably have 4 different environments with stuff on the go at different stages and versions with development, testing, staging, production. Everything is spread out over several different geographical regions. Load balancers, hardware encryption and tunneling, clusters for all of those. So obviously we have more than one Flex license ;) Freqequent changes in requirements is where Flex really shines. We can make major changes on the Flex side in hours/days, whereas the guys doing back-end systems often take days/weeks to do the equivalent thing or whatever is needed to keep up with us.

Re: [flexcoders] flex app re-packaged in a war and the flexbootstrap class path
Romain, We had/have the same problem - I did some research at the time. (I believe) the Flex server code uses a call with known compatibility issues e.g. ServletContext.getRealPath(WEB-INF)... this will work fine on an exploded directory, but not necessarily in a war file - depending on your app server. (Of course I am assuming here - since I have not seen their actual code). I have put in a bug request for this many months ago, I would suggest you do the same. For now our deployment guys have to unexplode our war files on multiple servers - and this is not acceptable in our clustered environment as it requires manual intervention and they do not like it and it makes Flex (an of course our app) look bad. WebLogic is one of the main enterprise platforms, so I would expect Flex to use internal server code that works properly on it. Maybe someone else has found a different workaround. Jonathan Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] XMLDecoder class
Matt, We tried to convert the XMLObjectOutput (even with the help of MM support) and we still ended up with something that was only about 97% compatible. You can always find cases of XML that it does not give the same results for. The danger is that if you guys change the internals of how HTTPService does the deserialization, the our code will be old and out of sync. I think it would be good if this code can be called externally (then we do not have to see your gnarly code!). Make it a public function.

I found that this creates a conflict for the parser required for the mxmlc compiler the compiler fails. If I exclude crimson.jar from the classpath during compile time, I am able to compile the swf. My question is, does anyone know if having crimson.jar live in the flex web app could create other conflicts with flex during runtime? I am able to run the application with no problems that I can see, but am not sure what is going on under the hood and if there are other gotchas that I should be aware of. thanks in advance for your help, Laura Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Flex with HitBox (HBX)
Thanks very much Steven - great link. Yes, we are looking at Cairngorm - however I am dealing with a one year old legacy Flex app - yes there is such a thing - so radical changes are not always easy. Jonathan On Wed, 30 Mar 2005 16:44:45 +0100, Steven Webster [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What you are actually asking about then is how to integrate with an analytics too; most analytics tools actually work by using Javascript or by exposing an XML over HTTP(s) or SOAP API. Rather than try and embed a hidden image (the common trick for analytics) you should look to see what integration technologies your particular analytics vendor supports (WebSideStory for instance, uses Cookies and JavaScript). There's an article on integrating with Omniture, which also uses a JavaScript and Cookie tracking mechanism, here: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/analytic_app_print.html That's probably the starting point you are looking for. We have just (about) completed a major Flex app that has analytics requirements, and a piece of advice is that you need to have your customer (marketing dept) think very carefully about what information they want OUT of the analytics engine.with an RIA we break free of the concept of page-impressions, and analytics allows us to gain much more powerful metrics, by tracking significant business events that convey much more meaning about how users are using and not using your application, than page impressions can signify (ie if someone refreshes a page several times on online banking application, is it because they made seven bill payments, or is it because they failed seven times to pay one bill ?). If you just want to churn lots of guff out into the logs however, and impress a marketing department that will never actually use the info, just ask for it, then you should look to extending the Cairngorm Controller class to log events + corresponding data for every user-gesture.

Re: [flexcoders] Performance testing Flash-J2EE applications
I used the (free) Microsoft web application stress tool - it can record AMF. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E2C0585A-062A-439E-A67D-75A89AA36495displaylang=en You are getting the error because flashproxy only allows binary communication - it is the servlet that is used to communicate with the Flex back-end. OpenSTA cannot record binary content (AFAIK).

Re: [flexcoders] random flexcoders notes
I have been trying to get aroud the search problem by using a gmail account and let everything just accumulate in there - then I can search them. After many months my account is up to 5% usage, so there is still a lot of space left. Of course this only helps if you have a long history of topics saved. Jonathan
getURL POST problems
Hi
all,
I have the
following problem. My Flex app gets to a point where its work is done, and
it needs to pass control to a legacy CGI application which needs to receive
several variables as a POST. Some of these variables exceed the limitthat
you can have in a GET, so it must be done with a POST.
I think that
getURL is the only way that I can pass control from a Flex app to a regularCGI
app. HTTPService seems like it would have been ideal, but the problemis
that the result that gets sent back cannot be used as HTML
display.
So I am
trying to get getURL to do a POST and send these variables, but it seems rather
unwilling. At best it seems it only wants to do a GET.
I have tried
a variety of methods such as getURL('SnoopServlet.jsp, "_self", "POST")
according the docs that I can find - but then how do I deal with the
parameters? If I add them to the url as in
getURL("SnoopServlet.jsp?aaa=bbb", "_self", "POST") then the compiler complains
that "There is no property with name 'GET'"...
Can someone
please give me a snippet of the proper way to do this or suggest a proper way to
achieve this?
Thank
you
Jonathan
