RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex choking while converting less than 2 MB of data
Hey Matt- I would never even try 10,000 objects in a strongly typed result set because of the performance. But I think the bigger key factor here is how deeply nested your strongly typed objects are. In the example I gave in my reply, it was a very complex nested object...and I gotta think the actual delay is the deserialization and creation of the strongly typed objects in memory by the player instead of rendering time or something else.

RE: [flexcoders] Basic inheritance question
In general you always want to cast something like this - because
event.currentTarget is of type object and NOT UIComponent or Button. But since
objects are loosely typed as type Object, then you reference any property or
method you want at compile time. Often at runtime though you will hit errors
unless it is properly casted. Your sample application was done in Flex 2 right?
Definitely a best practice to be casting generic objects like this to the type
of object you want to be working with to avoid runtime errors

Subject: [flexcoders] Basic inheritance question
Hi,
I'm reading the Developer's Guide and in the section using Events, they say on
a paragraph that :
If you try to call another method on the currentTarget (for example, the
setStyle() method), Flex returns an error. The setStyle() method is defined on
UIComponent, a subclass of DisplayObject. Therefore, you must cast
currentTarget to UIComponent before calling the setStyle() method
for example:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.core.UIComponent;
private function myEventHandler(e:Event):void {
UIComponent(e.currentTarget).setStyle(color, red);
}
]]
/mx:Script
and e.currentTarget is of type Button. But Button extends UIComponent, so we
don't have to upcast the reference because setStyle method is public and is
available to Button object reference0. I tried the code without upcasting and
it works.
Is the writer wrong or Am I missing something on the concept.
Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] Re: setFocus - help needed
This problem is happening because your third textfield is the last control in
the tabOrder in your application. The problem only happens when you tab out of
the third box - because there are no more controls in the tab order, hitting
tab give the browser focus. So after the browser gets focus, giving focus to
your text field makes the Flash Player highlight the field like it has focus,
but the browser (keyboard) does not have focus.
A very simple way to workaround this for now is to add another control to your
page. Anything that can get focus from a tab event. Like a button, text input,
whatever. That way, when you hit tab out of the third control, another flex
control gets focus automatically when the tab event fires and focus stays in
the flash player and then your focusout event gives the textinput focus and all
is well.
Or you could play around with trapping the keyboard (tab) event and setting the
focus to your first textinput in that handler (and stopping propogation).

What part are you asking if it needs to be embedded? The javascript side that lives in the HTML definitely does not get embedded.

RE: [flexcoders] Access Flex components from browser
There are a few ways you can approach this. One is you can pass the variables in via the querystring and then take them from the querystring and send them to your flex application via flashvars. If you are using php/jsp/asp or some other server side processing, this is really easy to do - just do a response.write of the qs value into the flashvar in the embed tag where your swf is being embedded into the html file. If you are using straight client side HTML files, then you will have to write the javascript to extract the parameter values from the url of the page. If you don't want to use flashvars, you could also set a variable in the javascript in your hosting html file and then use something like the Flex Ajax Bridge to get the values of those variables.

RE: [flexcoders] FABridge aclarations...
At compile time, FlexBuilder generates your hosting HTML file based on the HTML template in html-template/index.template.html The easiest option right now is to take your generated html file and add in the javascript methods that you need, and save it off as a different html file. Then after you compile, just hit your new html file instead of the generated file (if you want, you can set FB to open to a specific HTML file so it always uses your other file). Does that make sense? The SWF will get regenerated with each compile and if you have added the FABridge component, it will always be in there - regardless of what HTML file hosts that swf.

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm - design question, need suggestions-best practices
Unless I am misunderstanding your question, this does not really sound like a problem the MVC design pattern, but rather a typical client-server app problem. To ensure that all of your clients always have the most up to date info, you really only have a few options. Push updates from the server to the clients using something like FDS Poll the server constantly to see if any changes have occurred since your last poll and pull down the latest data if so Either solution, you would then just update your cairngorm model with the data received in the result event (in the pulling case via a service) and if your controls are bound to your model then they would update automatically after the data transfer completed. Of course there are tons of other considerations that come into play in this scenario like conflict resolution, which can be solved with a complex merge/purge based solution or a last in wins kind of thing. All problems that just about every client server app has to face when dealing with multiple clients modifying the same data. Just some things to think about.

RE: [flexcoders] How to save an ArrayCollection to php via HTTPService
To send an ArrayCollection over the wire via an HTTPService, you will have to
convert the array to some readable format for your php service. Usually this
would be xml. So you would need to convert your ArrayCollection to an XML
string (could do a foreach on the AC and add a child node to the xml of every

RE: [flexcoders] Replace an on screen component.
In your method that handles the adding and removing of the charts, instead of changing the state or changing the visibility of the chart, you can completely remove it using chartParent.removeChild(chartInstance); Then you can add your new one using chartParent.addChild(newChartInstance). chartParent could just be this depending on where you are adding and removing it in the component structure. Unless you pre-load the charts in memory there will be an instantiation hit when you add the component on the fly depending on how complex your chart is. Best to use a preloading image or something.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Is it possble to drag and drop a line chart ?
I am sure there are a lot of interesting ways to tackle this. I doubt there is any kind of native support for this functionality, but it is a pretty interesting and fun problem to tackle. I would start by doing something like laying a transparent canvas over top of the chart component, and listen on all mouse events. On mouse down, capture the x and y of the mouse and determine which item in the chart has been clicked (either by doing some math or hardcoding the positions to start with). Then create a drag proxy which contains a representation of the bar/line being dragged, so it gives them the feel of actually moving the line item while the drag. On mouse up, after some logic to verify they are dropping it in a good place (same logic in dragEnter as well), you determine what has been dragged from the drag source and then manipulate the dataProvider behind the chart to reflect what has been moved. And of course add some sexy effects so the line graph transitions nicely from the previous state to the new state! Hope that helps some.

since the XML.aspx file will have different results depending on the
time of day per user. Bummer we can't just reset the XML tag.
Thanks for the prompt reply. Off to go learn how to send in data to a
tree via HTTPService. Aaron --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com,

Aaron,Need to clarify
something:When you say : The XML is changes, do you
mean that the XML data retrieved from http://Path/To/XML.aspx changes or that
you change the XMl after loading at the
client?I don't want to answer the wrong question,
but the mx:XML tag includes data at compile time, not runtime. So,
the application is going to grab a copy of this data when it
compiles and build it in.
If you are looking to grab data at runtime, you need to look at
something like an HTTP service tag to go and grab the data on
command.Let me know if this answers your
question, --Mike

RE: [flexcoders] Text Area question
You probably can not turn on CAPS Lock from your flex app, probably a bit of a security risk. I doubt the flash player has access and/or allows flash apps to get access to do that (correct me if I am wrong). If you need to ensure that everything they type is in all CAPS, then just set the text value like this: item.text = item.text.toUpperCase(). Or another possible way is to listen on the keypress and convert it as they press. I guess you could also listen on the change event and convert it then, but it might be a bit laggy with fast typing.

RE: [flexcoders] Swf file size
That iss a question that needs to be determined by your target users, their avg connection speeds, etc combined how long you/they find it acceptable to wait for the initial load. If the initial download hit is too much, consider breaking it into multiple swf's and loading the child swfs in a master swf. For a general use site, 400k is a bit on the large side in my opinion.

RE: [flexcoders] Acceptance testing
I assume you mean automated testing tools to perform the functional and acceptance testing? There are only a few options for doing full UI automatedtesting on a flex app, because the test harness has to have access to hook into the flash player and manipulate the app running in it. Depending on budget, Mercury now has a product out that can do just that. This topic has come up a few times on flexcoders...but does that answer your question? You could always explore writing your own test harness and framework to manipulate your flex app, but it would have to run inside of a swf hosting your flex swf and might be a bit tricky.

RE: [flexcoders] Chart multiple vertical axis
You may be able to accomplish what you want to do by overlaying multiple chart components on top of each other, with transparent backgrounds. Not sure I can exactly picture what you want the chart to look like, but it would be easy to align multiple charts on top of each other and then you can just set the dataproviders of each chart independently. You could be clever and create a custom component that could then generate X chart components within a canvas depending on properties set on your customer component. There would be some pretty clever ways to make it slick and very reusable. But I might be off base with what you are trying to do. If so, let me know. Karl Cynergy Systems, Inc.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 1.5 Maintaining tree node state after dataprovider refresh
Yah the tree nodes are obviously dynamically created so I don't know how
many nodes there will be at any given time.
Below sounds very similar to the way I originally tried it, I will have
to give it a try again and try a few different variations.
I am wondering if there is a way to just use two trees, and have them
mirror each other. Just make one completely hidden, never render it.
Initially you set the dataprovider of both trees to the same source.
Then as nodes are opened and closed, you mimic it in the hidden tree.
After you refresh the dp of the rendered tree, you walk the displayed
nodes of the hidden tree and mimic it back. Anyone tried that approach?
I think it would be pretty straightforward and inexpensive - but that
depends on the amount of nodes. Thoughts?
Thanks for your help everyone.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 1.5 Maintaining tree node state after
dataprovider refresh
If the trees are large, Karl might want to optimize his method for
efficiency.
One approach I have considered is this: on getting the tree data, build
an associative array that uses an id as a key and contains a reference
to the node. That way you would have random access to any node using
the id. You would take a performance hit up front building the
associative array, but thereafter retrieving a node would be much faster
from the hashed list than by recursing all nodes and comparing the id.
To record a tree's state when a node opens, you would start with the
just opened node and put it in the state array, and then climb up the
tree, one parent at a time. If any parent node exists in the state
array(use an associative array here too), remove it. This way, for any
path of open nodes, you will only have one recorded node, the last one
in the chain.
To restore a tree's state, you would do a for..in loop over the state
array, and for each recorded node id, find the actual node reference in
the random access array/map. Then climb the tree by parent, opening
nodes as you go.
I may try to do an example of this.

Maybe you can use this... store -- .attributes.isOpen every time a

the old structure as a lookup tree to reopen the nodes...

RE: [flexcoders] How do you advise clients about building for the future - how long before Flex2 is worth their time?
I definitely agree with your points regarding licensing, but the problem with adoption of flex 2.0 as the platform for consumer apps is the need for the adoption of the new player. I personally would not want to release a production flex 2.0 app to the world, on a public site, until the player has saturated the market (50% + or more). Now if you can somewhat control your target audience (i.e. intranet apps, or niche userbase, etc) then it is not a problem. But it will be a while before the yahoo's and amazon's would adopt flex 2.

RE: [flexcoders] How do you advise clients about building for the future - how long before Flex2 is worth their time?
No, sorry if I implied that. I don't think the upgrade will be hard in anyway. I am sure a lot of users will do it as soon as the player is available. Not a resistance on the user's part, my point is just that, like any browser upgrade or web control/addin upgrade, the casual internet users are not very quick to update. If adobe has plans of "pushing" the upgrade to all existing player users, then I am sure that will increase the adoption rate very rapidly. I must say I have not read anything about the upgrade plans, so I can't speak to that. But delivering an application that requires brand new software in order to be used is just always a risk - hopefully Adobe does enough to mitigate it that all of the early flex 2 adopters will not face problems with potential users not having the required player for the first few months after it's release.

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid cell edit and Row color problem
I assume you are not using Flex 2 as I am pretty sure setPropertiesAt is
no longer supported. But even in 1.5, setPropertiesAt can only be used
to set a very small amount of styles/properties. Color I know is not one
of them. You can set backgroundColor, icon and maybe one or two others.
Otherwise, probably best to use a customer cellRenderer that contains a
method which updates that cell's styles on edit, etc..
Hope that helps.

RE: [flexcoders] Amazon Web Services
If you are sure that you are properly providing all of the
parameters required and are still not having success...it probably means that a
dynamic value of one of your parameters is returned "undefined" as its value.
This will cause flex to say that it does not have all of the required params and
will not make the ws call. Does the service call work when you use a hardcoded
value instead of {searchString.text}? If so, then I would change the button to
call amazon.ItemSearch(accessKey, service, keywords, searchString.text,
operation); instead of just calling send with all of the predefind parameters.
Just a thought, it may not be the problem at all but is the first thing that
came to mind. Hope it helps.
Something I should have accessed first, is the error you
are getting coming from the amazon service or is a flex error that is thrown
prior to the service being called?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 Beta2 - Looping through dataGrid to bold cells
So you want all data in the grid to be bold? Then you should be able to just set the style on the grid instead of setting it on each row. As for cell renderers, yes yes and yes. It renders on a cell basis and can modify the display based on the data returned for that cell. And you can include pictures if you want to! You can create child objects of any type (I assume there are some objects that grid cells do not support though). The best way to start is to pull up the much used check cell renderer. It displays a checkbox for each cell and checks/unchecks based on a conditional of the data returned for that cell. Once you have the cell renderer class done, just set the cellRenderer property on your dataColumn to be your new class. | Karl Johnson Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Pieszak Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 10:42 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 Beta2 - Looping through dataGrid to bold cells Hey Karl, thanks for the quick response! Ideally, I'd like certain rows to be bold when the data is populated, but I don't know how to do that. So, I'd like to bold the cells as soon as the data is displayed. I never want the user to see the data in the dataGrid without the bold text. I'm really curious about this custom cell renderer. Can it go to the cell level, or just row? Can I include pictures??? Can all this be done on a conditional basis (the value of the cell)? I can't find a Beta2 link for it, everything is Beta1, except for this... http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex20beta2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/commo n/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=0123.html#142625 ...which is clearly no help. Any links would be greatly appreciated.

When do you need to set rows to bold? Does it always happen as soon as the dataprovider is set/the grid shows data? Then you should go the custom cell renderer rout. Then you can do anything you want to each cell, including display objects other than strings.

RE: [flexcoders] Removing Items from a list
Use the click event of the button to call list.removeAll() to remove all of the items or removeItemAt(int) to remove a specific list item. Is that what you are asking? If you want to remove the list item that is selected, you should be to just do list.removeItemAt(list.selectedIndex); in the click event handler for the button. | Karl Johnson Cynergy Systems http://www.cynergysystems.com -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of merrittwchapman Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 3:30 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Removing Items from a list Can someone provide me with an example of how to use actionscript to remove items from a list control by clicking a button?

RE: [flexcoders] gant chart
Yep I created one. It combines a tree control with a grid. The grid is a not actually a grid control because of performance problems, but is actually a big canvas. On the expand and collapse events of the tree, I redraw the gantt chart grid (using the drawing api) to have rows (color determined by criteria for each row) that match the amount of expanded tree nodes. The perf is pretty good, mostly instant drawing and no datagrid overhead etc. The control is pretty much modeled after the MS Project gantt chart. | Karl Johnson Cynergy Systems http://www.cynergysystems.com -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of juscodin Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 11:18 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] gant chart Has anyone worked on creating a gant chart capability with Flex? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] DragManager issues when running in swf inside a swf
No luck with this. I have tried about a million different solutions. Is there a documented work around for this in Macromedia support? Any other possible ways of gettings this to work?

The point is you need to make sure that the first application you load has the DragManager linked into it.
