RE: [flexcoders] Event overloads and the Flex framework
All of those button click - server requests are queued up till the end of the frame. The Flex/Flash will send them out. I'm not sure about simple http. But, If you are using the Blaze/LCDS servers, flex actually sends them all as a set. Basically the servlet will get an Array of requests. It will then treat them all as individual requests and then return them as a set. Doing this helps with the connection limits and behaves as if you send a lot of individual request.. But this also means if you have 3 calls you make one after the other, and 2 are really quick and 1 is really slow. The 2 quick ones will wait for the slow one so they can all return together. But again that is only if they all get triggered in the same frame. There is also a concurrency (I think that is the name) attribute on the RemoteObject, where you can set it to ignore duplicate responses and just keep the last one. However the server does get hit for all of them.

One question that has been posed to me that I don't know how to answer is this: how does Flex handle someone clicking madly on a button that invokes a remote service? For example, is there a 1:1 ratio in the sense that for each call made there will be a response...eventually, or is there some threshold where Flex will queue the calls or cancel all pending calls and only return the last one? Just trying to wrap my head around this. If anyone has some experience with this I'd love to hear. Thank you, Fumeng.
RE: [flexcoders] Re: One custom component referring to another
Be careful here. There is a possible performance problem with a
application level central model. If you push all of your data through a
central model, then whenever you change ANY property in the model a
propertyChangeEvent is thrown from the model class. So every UI element
in your application which is bound to any property in the central model
will invalidate their display and re-render itself.. even if it's not
on screen.
I'm with mike on this, bubble the data you need up as needed, but, keep
things as local as possible. You might need to go to a global central
model for some data, every app has a little global data (logged in user,
etc). But in practice, most of the data I've ever referenced is usually
pretty specific to a component or two. So I let the child tell the
parent with an event and the parent can decide which other children need
to know. Children can't tell each other what to do. Or in other words,
let the parent component be the model for sub-components under it.
Hope that helps,
---nimer

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: One custom component referring to another
My vote would be for changes in A to affect a central model. B would
watch the model change and reflect those changes. Everything B needs
from A would be reflected in the model. That's pretty much what Mike
said, except I'm not a fan of throwing events up if that means
bubbling. A should dispatch events that the app listens to in order
to change the central model.
However, I would think that there is some syntax that should have got
this past the compiler. If you use the MXMLC -keep option you can see
what it generated and maybe figure out why it didn't work.

Jason,
In an ideal world, component A would throw events up. Those events
would be caught in the application (in this case) and call
corresponding methods in component B.
You really, really don't want to start coupling these components
together by calling the internals of one from the other in this way.
Especially when they really are peers in your application.
Just my 2 cents,
Mike

the two components to be separated because they are two different

There is an outstanding bug/ER to add support for super cfc properties. I remember trying to get to it before we shipped CF702, however it didnt make the cut. Right now your best option is to define a CFPROPERTY tag for all of the properties (from the super classe) in the main cfc you are calling.

I tried to use an init method in which i would automatically check the super components for properties and add them to the property array of the current component. This however was (for me) a bit difficult because of my lack in good java skills: the properties array is not a normal array on which you can use the arrayAppend method. I submitted it as a bug and hope they will give me the source code of the 2 responsible methods in the flashremoting-update.jar so that i can override the methods in order to use a modified version of the ASToCFSerializer.

Re: [flexcoders] Using Auth.cfc from CF Wizard
Returning true/false to flex, like you are doing, tells Flash that the authentication was successful and to do what ever you want to do next at the client. However, with the code you have youhaven't told CF the user is authenticated. So if you made some other call that requires roles based security in CF it would fail.
What you want to do is add a CFLOGIN tag to the method.

You have 2 options. 1) You can use the flash FileReference class and upload the image to CF. Just point the url to a .cfm page that has a CFFILE action="" tag on it. 2) If you can upgrade to CF702, you can use one of the Binary encoders, which can convert a BitmapData class to a jpg or png. Then you can send the byte array(no need to base 64 it) as an argument in a Flash Remoting request. and then you can use CFFILE to write the bytearray to disk as an binary file. http://weblogs.macromedia.com/cantrell/archives/2006/08/actionscript_pn.cfm Honestly, using the FileReference object in flash will be the easiest.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2 patch timeline
Trust me Adobe is very anal when it comes to releasing bug free software. And the risk that 1 bug fix could introduce 2 more bugs is a big concern. When companies, hell whole industries,are betting their multi-million dollar businesses on your product you have to be overly cautious and careful. Personally I'm glad they over test. You wouldn't believe how big of deal quality is to the QA team there, trying to get them bend the rules a little is impossible. We should all buy them beer (Lot's and Lot's of Beer!) For instance it takes over 2 weeks to run all of the regressions on all ofthe supported platforms for Adobe to ship a release (alpha, beta, or final) of ColdFusion. Touch one line of code and the regressions have to start all over. And Flex has a growing regression suite it needs to run, I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't already surpassed 2 weeks for a full regression test. Especially considering that there are multiple products that are all intertwined. For example, a bug fix in the player has to be tested againstthe FDS server and Actionscript in theSDK to make sure nothing has been broken.Imagine the mess, if millions of people started updatingtheir flash players to the latest version andsites like You Tube or MySpace quit working. And if there is a new "bug fix" every few days, or even once a week,the regressions would never complete,and eventually un-tested buggy software would be released, and then we would stop trusting the hot fixes coughMicrosoft/cough. This is whyyou/they have to stop the fix and release cycle periodically, fixlotsof bugs, test test test, and then release an official point release. Otherwise there would be a mutiny in support and they would all give up and quit and there would be no one there to help us. It's a whole binge and purge cycle really.

[flexcoders] Custom server validation
So I recently came upon an interesting situation. I needed to validate a form entry against data on the server. For example, I wanted to query the db to make sure the quantity that the user typed in was a validamount with the stock on hand. My initial thought was that I could just extend the Validator class (so I get all of the validation triggers)and write a flash remoting server side call to validate the data. However, that doesn't seem possible because the doValidation() method, where I would make my Flash Remoting call, has to returnan array of ResultEvents. Which means you can't wait for the result handler to determine if something is valid or invalid. It seems like server side validation is a common enough thing. Has anyone else tried to do this? How did you get it to work? thanks, --nimer __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company YAHOO!

Seems like it could be a deeper error in the cfml, double check all of the CF logs and see if you can find a better error. Also you might want to try sending the object through the flash remoting adapter, to see if you can get either a better message or to confirm that CF doesn't have a problem translating the object type.

Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection
countries = event.result. countries as ArrayCollection;
In ColdFusion all queries are returned as a true ArrayCollection objects, so you don't need to create your own. So with this syntax you are just casting, or telling the compiler,the variable that you already know the datatype of (ArrayCollection) is an real ArrayCollection.
countries = new ArrayCollection(event.result.countries as Array);
Here you are telling the compiler the result is an Array, so you need to *create* a new ArrayCollection object based on this array.

Re: [flexcoders] How does Flex 2.0 handle ColdFusion Query results?
Your not doing the same thing this is casting the object categories = event.result as ArrayCollection; this is creating new objects categories = new ArrayCollection( event.result as Array); -or- categories = new ArrayCollection( event.result) Now why doesn't it work? The event.result variable is already an ArrayCollection. And if you look at the asdoc for the ArrayCollection constuctor, it takes an Array (An ArrayCollection object is NOT an Array ). Andwhen you do this "new ArrayCollection(event.result) " Your actually doing "new ArrayCollection( SomeArrayCollectionVariable)" And the ArrayCollection constructor doesn't support creating a new ArrayCollection from an existing ArrayCollection. So things that would work: Casting categories = event.result as ArrayCollection; categories = ArrayCollection(event.result); // notice the lack of the "new" keyword. Create new categories = new ArrayCollection( (event.result as ArrayCollection).souce ); // the .source property of the ArrayCollection is a proper Array. hope that made sense, ---nimer - Original Message From: Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 5:10:25 PMSubject: RE: [flexcoders] How does Flex 2.0 handle ColdFusion Query results? Hello Dave and All, I checked out the Article and it worked!! But I am confused why it worked... In some respects, I thought I was doing the same thing - but just in a different way. I was wondering if you could explain why one piece of code works, and the code I originallyused did NOT work. For the example code below,you can all assumethat I already declared a public variable called 'categories' , and cast it as an ArrayCollection. .. For starters, here is the code that works from the Article: categories = event.result as ArrayCollection; And for the code that does NOT work: categories = new ArrayCollection( event.result as Array); -or- categories = new ArrayCollection( event.result) ; If I understand your post correctly, you are saying that the "Event Object" performs some type of "smart conversions" - only when it'sbeingdirectly assignedto a variable? And if that's true, this conversion never getstriggered, when it's placed inside of a Constructor (for example an ArrayCollection) ? This would explain why my code did not work. I don't know - just thinking out loud here. I would love to know more about how this all works, especially since there were so MANY massive changes from Flex 1.0 Beta, all the way to the latest release version (not to mention Flash Remoting, which the earliest versions of Flex had a lot of similarities to). I am sure learning how this all works, will save me a LOT of headaches down the road - especially since I ONLY write Data-Driven applications (RIA's) which allmake massive amounts of database calls.

I just have a hard time with this - since this works fine with my Flash Remoting app, and that I am bringing back a native Query Object from ColdFusion. I must be missing something, or am not properly casting something. As far as I can tell, I am properly coding the Grid Columns - but maybe I am not... One last thing - I am running something similar to Flash's NetConnection Debugger - and I am for sure getting back a valid response from the CF Server - an Array of Objects, all properly formatted and casted. If you could shed further light, as to why no data shows up in my DataGrid when the app runs, I'd be very grateful :) Mike,A bit has changed between 1.5 and 2.0 with regard to Flex, and for the better (aka easier). To that end, yesterday I blogged a post on using Arrays vs. ArrayCollections in Flex and, at the bottom, there is a semi-complete MXML application that shows calling an HTTPService and handling the results for display in the DataGrid. In short, the new ResultEvent class should make its way into your code, as that class is the one that has the "smarts" to handle ColdFusion queries and cast it to an appropriate local data structure.

Re: [flexcoders] remote object mapping frustration
I have a hunch the compiler hasn't linked in your AS classes, so when a VO is passed in with flash remoting the flash player doesn't have the as class files in memory so it can't convert the VO into the right classes.
In your creationComplete function try this:
{
var foo1:user = new com.myco.project.user();
var foo2:address = new com.myco.project.adress();
var foo3:car = com.myco.project.car();
}
These are throw away vars but they will get the classes linked into the players memory. There are better ways to do this, however this is a quick way to see if this is the problem.
If this isn't it. Double check the [RemoteClass(Alias="")) property and the alias="" attribute of your CFC, make sure they match "EXACTLY".

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and CF
Joao,
Your right there isn't much information, and we need more. We'll work on that.
However, to answer you question now. To get this working so you can call FDS destinations of CF via Flash Remoting you would do it this way.
1) Configure CF on 1 instance/server
2) Configure FDS on 2nd instance/server
3) Point your project at the services-config.xml in the FDS instance.
Ok at this point you can easily call FDS destinations which use CF (or not). Now to also call Flash remoting.
4) Define the destination and channel with Actionscript, instead of letting the compiler do it when it is pointed at the CF version of the services-config.xml
To create you own ChannelSet the code would look something like this.
--
public var cSet:ChannelSet;
public function initApp()
{
cSet= new ChannelSet();
var customChannel:Channel = new AMFChannel("my-cfamf", http://localhost:8500/flex2gateway/); // Add the Channel to the ChannelSet. cSet.addChannel(customChannel); foo.channelSet = cSet;
}
mx:RemoteObject
id="foo"
destination="ColdFusion"
source="com.foo.component"/
---
Note: You can use this ChannelSet technique instead of the -services compiler flag too. And you can use it, if you want to use something like FlashVars to change the endpoint url.
hope that helps,

because that's the main config setup with CF + Flex 1.5, but that's not necessary at all any longer with Flex 2 FDS. With Flex 2 and FDS, you absolutely do not need FDS installed into the CF app instance for things to work.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder 2 RDS Connection problems
Try connecting with Homesite or Dreamweaver, if you have them. If that works compare the configuration. ---nimer - Original Message From: Brian Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 2:56:41 PMSubject: [flexcoders] Flex Builder 2 RDS Connection problems Has anyone else had trouble connecting to RDS from Flex Builder 2other than localhost? I can definitely connect in Dreamweaver to a RDS server on our network but it doesn't even appear as if Flex Builder is even trying to access the network. I get an error message instantly saying "unable to contact the RDS server" no matter what I've tried. It's on port 80 no context root and the RDS password i'm using is correct. I've also tried using the ip address for the host name instead of the resolved name. One thing I was wondering is if running a desktop firewall would effect being able to connect to it.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: FDS on CFMX configuration problems
You are right, this is the tricky part. However, there is an easy way around it. Install CF and Flex separately (2 jvm instance, or 2 wars in the same instance). Then point you projects -services option to the flex2 services-config.xml. This will allow you to use the FDS and messaging stuff. And to use ColdFusions Flash Remoting you will create and configure the Channel via actionscript instead of letting FlexBuilder do it automatically. I don't have the exact syntax, but you want to create a ChannelSet object, and set the mx:RemoteObject channelset property to be the channel set instance you created. When you are creating the ChannelSet object, really the only important thing is the endpoint url to the CF FlashRemoting servlet "/flex2gateway/"hth, ---nimerJoão Fernandes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The only problem that I see running seperated instances of FDS CFMX is the fact that FDS doesn't ship with the remoting for CF so when you define CF remoting destinations(the "ColdFusion" one) it throws an error, so to be able to use a mix of remoting + data management you'll have to keep 2 xml files, one for FDS and one for compilation. If there is another way, I didn't find any documentation about it.I have it running CFMX7+ FDS and now without issues but more documentation about this would be nice.One of the issues about the technote is the fact that FDS and CFMX7 both uses a MessageBrokerServlet definition.

I emailed an insider at Adobe on the Coldfusion team I met at the CFObjective conference and learned that they aren't very happy with that technote and recommended that I run FDS and CFMX separately for now.I haven't tried that yet, but apparently you did and it was working, which is encouraging to me. I've spent three days trying to get FDS working with a fresh installation of CFMX 7 Multiserver(JRun4) option. The WEB-INF directory installs in the nested directories within the JRun4 folder, but the new CF/Flex Wizard expects the WEB-INF to be in the webroot.I've been having issues with the services-config.xml file. I found a copy of the file Ben Forta uses on the sys-con website which has worked so far.But if you manage to combine FDS and CFMX 7 and get them working, please share what you did.Thanks,Jim Pickering--- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com, "Tom Bray" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When I first started working with FDS, I used the standalone version with integrated JRun and had FB configured to launch FDS and direct its logging to the output pane in FB. I was happy. Now, I'm trying to configure FDS on top of CFMX and haven't had much success. I used the instructions below at this link: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=4f079a4dpss=rss_flex_4f079a4d. It would be very helpful if Adobe would expand upon those instructions with the steps for getting the sample apps up and running. Also, the instructions for setting up debugging ( http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Enterprise_Services:Debugging) need to be updated for the final release of FDS and I'd love to see a similar document for setting up debugging with FDS on CFMX. In the meantime, I'm having errors that I don't know how to get additional information on. I'm trying to get the notes sample app running, and I get this error: [RPC Fault faultString="Send failed" faultCode="Client.Error.MessageSend" faultDetail="Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 500"] Subscribing to the notes destination works, but sending a message doesn't. I obviously need more details to diagnose the problem, so an explanation of how to see that logging information would be awesome. Thanks, Tom Do you Yahoo!?
