In FP 10, bitmaps are no longer restricted to a max size of 2880x2800. Now
they can be 4096*4096 with a max of 8192 for any dimension.
Flash authoring has always, and still, restricts the stage size to 2880x2880.

UPDATE: Ok it looks like the stage runs out of display room. Does the
Flash player stage have a maximum size? My app is a diagram that can
go as large as 10,000 pixels wide. If I scale up to 1.75 while viewing
the right side of my diagram all is good, but when I go to the left
side of the diagram, thus placing it in center of the screen, and zoom
to 1.75 its like all graphics disappear and only textfields are shown.
If anyone knows of any screen capture software I can create a video
and post it.

RE: [flexcoders] Framework RSLs -- Any Reason Not To Use? Any Problems Related to Their Use?
True regarding not being able to monkey patch the cached framework rsl. It is always loaded first. -Kyle From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug McCune Sent: Monday, September 08, 2008 4:15 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Framework RSLs -- Any Reason Not To Use? Any Problems Related to Their Use? I think mainly you just need to be aware of the size implications (both good and bad). By using the framework RSL you are removing the framework from your SWF, which will reduce your SWF size by quite a bit. However, you are also requiring the loading of the full framework RSL. The full RSL includes all the framework classes, not just those used in your SWF, so this RSL is actually larger than the savings that you have gotten with your smaller swf. But this framework RSL can be cached and can even be cached from other people's apps. So if someone visits your app without ever having loaded the RSL (either from you or another person's app) then their initial load time will actually be longer than if you did not use the RSL. However,if they have viewed another Flex app that used the RSL, then your load time will be faster. The other thing that I've heard is that you can't monkey patch framework classes if using the RSL, since that gets loaded after your main app, the RSL framework classes take precedence.

I'm still fumbling my way through framiliarizing myself with callLater, but
from what I've been able to do with it, it works perfectly.
As I understand it, you can call a method if you don't have any parameters in
it like callLater( doSomething ); but if you can't do that you can throw an
inline function in there like this:
callLater ( Function () : void { doSomething( firstParameter, secondParameter,
thirdParam[i], whateverElseYouWantToUse ); } );
That may be considered ghetto, but it works for me.

I'm building a room layout application, and one of its features is
that you can create a PDF printout of your project. I'm using AlivePDF
to create the PDFs in the Flash player.
The app needs to create PDFs of many pages, and each page takes awhile
to create. what I just started seeing today is that it times out
before it can create all the pages.
My general routine is that I have a print view class that's a
container for the pages. Each room in the project gets a page, so for
each room, I set the print view to show that room, invalidate the view
with validateNow(), create the image, and pass it into the PDF.
I figure I can cut the createPrintout() method into a few different
methods, but for whichever method calls these smaller ones, how do I
keep it from timing out before all the pages are created? How can I
use callLater() to spread this work out so that this process (which by
its nature takes awhile) doesn't time out?
Many thanks for any advice you can offer,

Hi, I'm working on an application with Flex as front end. I need to interact with back end only with GMT+0 date times or with the same timezone which my server is set up on. But as I've found out, any datetime instance created in Actionscript is by default will have the time zone set to system's local time zone. Also when this date is recieved on server as a result of time zone offset the date may skip a day or lag a day to what user has specified. Similar problem happens when recieving the date also, that is, any GMT +0 time which is received is converted to local time before displaying on the screen :(. Since i'm using DateField to get user input, any date chosen from DateChooser popup will be set to local time zone. Also the parseFunction property which can be set on a DateField is invoked only when the date is changed by typing manually into the text box, so we have no control over what is set through the DateChooser popup. Let me explain exactly what problem I am dealing with - Suppose the the server timezone is MST (GMT - 7) and the client machine is set on IST (GMT + 5:30), so there is a time difference of 12:30 hrs between the client and server. Now if a Date object is created and sent to server from the client machine any time before 12:30 PM (IST, say 11:00 AM on 22 May), flex gatway performs the time conversions according to the timezones of client and server and subtract 12:30 hrs from the time passed from the client and therefore the time goes to the previous day and the date received on the server is 21 May, 10:30 PM, which is not the date client has sent. So to resolve this issue, I want to set the timezone of the Date objects to what is there on the back end, so that no conversions take place while passing on the Date objects to the server. I know the Date object has timezone information relative to GMT and we can set the time to GMT time using Date.UTC(), but it does not change the timezone to GMT which will not serve the purpose. What I wanted to know if there is a way we can change the timezone of the Date object and if anyone has been able to do it (either with Flex 1.5 or 3.0)? If yes, could you please be generous enough to share the solution you appllied... Thanks
RE: [flexcoders] Saving Typed Objects with AIR
Here is a good blog post regarding this topic: http://www.brooksandrus.com/blog/2008/03/25/flex-air-serialization-lesso ns-learned/ One thing it doesn't describe is how to deal with classes that have a constructor with args. The way to deal with that is to have default values for the args in the constructor. When an object is deserialized, the constructor is automatically invoked, but in the case of a constructor that has arguments, the constructor invocation during the deserialization process has no values to pass to the constructor. Having default values for constructor args alleviates this issue and avoids an error being thrown. In the readExternal method (implemented as part of the IExternalizable interface) you can carry out the operations that the constructor normally would with values read from the serialized object. This will result in a deserialized object that will look as it would if it had been created by calling it with constructor args.

I seem to keep on banging my head against a wall on this issue. I've
been plugging away at this issue for several days now with little
progress.
I set the popup.owner property as recommended by Alex. This seemed to
have helped, but issues still persist.
I cheated and created an inPopup flag in the parent document to try
and thwart popup loops (see code snips below). I say cheated, because
I gathered from Alex's suggestion that I should not need to do that.
Regardless, that hack worked marginally well, but I'm having
additional issue, and I know it is because I am just not getting it.
My hunch is that these additional issues are side effects to my
improper implementation of the popup in the itemEditor.
These side effect issues I am seeing include:
- My itemRenderer is not being reliably updated. To be clear, the
data from the itemEditor is being properly trapped, and the
dataProvider updated. The itemRender is not being updated because it
appears that the dataChange event on the itemRenderer is not being
dispatched -- at least not reliably. It is being dispatched and the
itemRenderer updated when I edit a different column in the datagrid.
- If I click outside of my modal popup, focus is lost on the current
itemEditor cell resulting in the first row itemEditor being executed
immediately following the close of my initial popup. I've _covered_
my popup with focusEnabled = false statements which work great in the
popup. But outside popup clicks messes the focus.
For my first flex project, I've bitten off much more than I can chew
here. :) I've gone through the Flex 3 docs, flexcoders, and google
end-to-end, and I'm just not seeing a solution.
Any kind gurus out there that can offer some guidance? I've included

RE: [flexcoders] How can I get the Accordion headerRender instances
I don't see in the addChild event any info that can help determine what
index the child was inserted at. My case assumed you were declaratively
creating accordion children in mxml.
You could do something like below, since addChild calls addChildAt:
?xml version=1.0?
mx:Accordion xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
childAdd=onChildAdd(event)
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import
mx.events.ChildExistenceChangedEvent;
import
mx.containers.accordionClasses.AccordionHeader;
import mx.containers.Accordion;
private var _lastAddedIndex:int;
private function
onChildAdd(e:ChildExistenceChangedEvent):void{
var acc:Accordion =
e.target as Accordion;
var
header:AccordionHeader=acc.getHeaderAt(_lastAddedIndex) as
AccordionHeader;
header.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);
}
private function
onMouseOver(e:MouseEvent):void{
(e.target as
AccordionHeader).dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK));
}
override public function
addChildAt(child:DisplayObject,
index:int):DisplayObject{
_lastAddedIndex=index;
return
super.addChildAt(child,index);
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Accordion
There may be better ways, but this is what I came up with in my 10
minutes of poking around further :-)

@Kyle, thanks, that's what I was looking for. One question tho, I
noticed you always grab the last child. Accordion supports addChildAt()
so I'm assuming I'll have to get the index of the child another route to
always be sure. Thought I'd bring it up in case I'm completely wrong
about that.
@Doug, to answering your answering a question with a question, uh, er,
question. I don't know if I need access to the header renderer or not,
but I've tried children and some other various things that haven't
worked. And I thought about overriding the headerRenderer but since this
will be a base class chances are it will get overridden itself. I'm
extending mx components just for our test environment where we're doing
capturing / saving / translating labels, titles and phrases which will
get stored in a database, pushed out with our production app and then
loaded dynamically based on user's language so we don't have to deal
with .properties files and Resource Bundles and the like.
a quick example is at
http://www.mxmvc.com/translations/SweetTranslations.html
http://www.mxmvc.com/translations/SweetTranslations.html
but I'm just getting started at working out the kinks and that example
doesn't have the accordion yet, obviously.

To not answering your question and instead ask another one: Why do you
need access to the header renderer? If you want to alter the label, or
blank out the label, you can use a custom extension of Button and set
that as your header renderer (ie if you wanted header renderers that
always converted the labels to uppercase or something). Or if you just
want to get access to the labels, that's simply the label property of
each child, so looping over the children will get you what you need.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Modules at 360Flex conference
Actually Roger, our friend Paul made possible a fourth solution, which
seems pretty good, which is to use Runtime CSS, as suggested by the
previous email.
Runtime CSS generates the appropriate Font.registerFont calls for you
and you get to use CSS syntax, which is cool. It is basically
automation of (2). It does mean that all modules using a particular
font name must use that one shared font definition, so subsetting
characters would be a dangerous thing to do, but I think it'll work for
most people. I packaged up an example and posted it on my blog at
http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/presentations/
http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/presentations/
I think I'm actually supposed to be working on something else, so I
won't be taking on a best practice for binding in unloadable modules
right now.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Modules at 360Flex conference
There are basically three solutions right now.
Brute force hammer solutions:
1) Embed the font everywhere in all SWFs, so that there is never any
confusion about where to find the font, because its everywhere.
2) Use Font.registerFont to globally register a particular font name
across all SWF boundaries forever.
Complicated solution that I tried to automate but it was just too weird:
3) Guarantee that whenever you create a TextField using a font that the
code creating the TextField is located in the same SWF as the font.
You'd think that 3 sounds doable, until you mix in the fact that if it
is utility code, it cannot be code that is shared between a parent SWF
and a client SWF, because the parent's version of the code will get used
and it will look in the wrong SWF context.
Basically, after wrasslin' with 3 for a while (by replacing all
instances of new TextField() with a getter to a per-SWF-unique class
factory hooked off of CSS blobs that almost worked until I hit the
PopupManager case), my head asplode.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Modules at 360Flex conference
Regarding the embedded font issue:
We have following solution which seems to work well. It's also a
similar solution we have used on Flash 7 and 8.
Embed the fonts into a SWF (Flash 8 or 9) both work with Flex.
Basically put them in a clip on the stage in the Flash IDE. Lets call it
fonts.swf.
Then you create a CSS with following tags
@font-face {
src:url(../fonts/fonts.swf) ;
fontFamily: DIN Neuzeit Grotesk Std Bold Cn ;
}
.MainHeading {
fontFamily: DIN Neuzeit Grotesk Std Bold Cn ;
fontSize: 22px ;
color: #55852A ;
}
Now you use FlexBuilder and compile the CSS into a SWF.
Then use the StyleManager to reference and load the generated
css SWF
Then you could do [UIComponent].styleName = .MainHeading ;
Hope that helps, I might be behind you guys but this has worked
on a couple of tests we have done. I guess the font.swf will still be
loaded from each module using it but it will be returned from the
browser cache. Not sure if Adobe have some internal caching on these
loaders.
Cheers,
Jonas

Hilary,
This should work. I have created a very simple test and it works fine.
Here it is:
SimpleApp.mxml
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; xmlns=*
creationComplete=initFont()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.styles.StyleManager;
private function initFont():void
{
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(comicsans.swf);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Label fontWeight=bold text=Runtime CSS: Using Embedded fonts
fontSize=15 /
mx:Panel title=Music Survey
mx:CheckBox label=I buy music from iTunes. /
mx:CheckBox label=I buy CDs at an online store. /
mx:CheckBox label=I buy CDs at a music store. /
mx:CheckBox label=I download music illegally. /
mx:Label text=other /
mx:TextInput /
/mx:Panel
/mx:Application
comicsans.css
@font-face {
src: url(assets/comic.ttf);
fontWeight: normal;
fontFamily: ComicSans;
}
@font-face {
src: url(assets/comicbd.ttf);
fontWeight: bold;
fontFamily: ComicSans;
}
global {
fontFamily: ComicSans;
}
What is the difference with your application and this simple one? Did
you get any errors? How are you using they styles? Are they set
globally, using Type selectors or class selectors? If you can show me a
simple sample where it is not working, maybe I can help more.
Thanks,

No.

Foundsomething for you at Livedocs :)
It confirms my thought about using data.label, data.id,
data.productImage, ...
as the correct syntax to access these properties.
Basically your data object contains the data for the whole row,
which is a good thing, since you might want to combine data from
multiple columns into one cell using a renderer.
