Re: [flexcoders] You are the product
I really don't want to take a step back when I was in fact hoping to be getting a new version of action script that moved the main language even further forward. I feel the same way. I just dislike JS and going from ActionScript to JavaScript is a step back.. a big one. If you know Java, you're in luck 'cos with GWT you can just write Java apps and they get compiled to JS (with html/css) and you still get to use Maven/Spring/Hibernate and do all the OOP stuff and whatnot. You don't have to look at javascript at all, let alone write a single line of it ! As I mentioned earlier, if FlashBuilder would do something similar, I'd be all over it.

Re: [flexcoders] You are the product
My sense is that Adobe has realized that it close to impossible to port Flash to the staggering proliferation of tablets, smart phones, and other devices. That's why they have AIR. The move away from Flash by Adobe may (and I'm really guessing here) have to do with Windows 8 and its metro style. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_%28design_language%29 In Windows 8 the start screen (desktop) will look like a smart device (with apps). Those are run in a slim (lightweight) browser that does not support plugins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Windows_8_Developer_Preview_Start_Screen.png When you head off on the internet from one of those apps, you'll be using the metro browser to surf the internet, meaning: no plugins. If you have the time, check out the Win8 videos: http://www.buildwindows.com/ Not sure which one has the browser explanation in it.. sorry. I hope Adobe doesn't give up on FlashBuilder (and AS3/MXML) and hope that moving forward we'll be able to use the same tool to create JS/HTML apps, much like you can do now with Java, GWT and SmartGWT.

Re: [flexcoders] Using Flex with server that does authentication
Hello I feel your pain. Just recently we struggled through the same issues. One needs to get very creative to get some real HTTP support out of Flex and/or the browser plugins. There is no way to talk to some generic http/rest server with Flex (perhaps 4 is better, have not tried) The nice thing is that writing this Tomcat filter will proof to be peanuts once you start with it and it does make a lot possible without having to change your application logic. To conclude...you are not missing something obvious as far as I know...that just the way Flex has been working for as long as it exists Peter On 04 Jun 2010, at 16:38, alwayslearningnewstuff wrote: Hi all, I'm building a Flex client for a fully-authenticated server with a REST-like API. All communication with the server will be over SSL/TLS. All requests must be authenticated. What I've discovered, by Googling around and by trying my own code, is that Flex makes things very, very difficult for such a client. The problems all center around the fact that my Basic Auth headers get removed. The only way I've found to get my headers over to the server is by: * Switching from using HTTPService to URLLoader (the former seems to strip all headers, no matter what) * Changing all my GET's to POST's (because headers are always stripped from GET requests) * Adding a dummy body to my POST's so that they don't get turned back into GET's (why, for God's sake?) and have their headers stripped. I also need to upload files --with authentication. Headers are stripped from FileReference.upload() calls also. I'm aware of this bug: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1044 It appears that a fix is in the works, which is encouraging, but it completely baffles me that this issue has been ignored for so very long. I also need to display images in my client that are served by my server --with authentication. I have have mx:Image elements with source properties bound to URL's that point to my server. I know of no way to turn these implicit GET requests into POSTs and to then somehow insert my authentication header into them. At this point I'm really feeling beaten down by how difficult this all is. Does nobody else write clients for authenticated servers? This seems so basic. I've been a fan of Flex for years, but this is causing me to question whether it's ready for real-world RIA's. I'm now considering something desperate like trying to write a Tomcat filter that looks for credentials in a URL parameter and manufactures an Authentication header. I don't know Tomcat well, so I'm not sure whether filters can run before authentication is done. If that works, though, I can go back to using my GET requests and solve my problems with upload and image rendering. The fact that we use SSL/TLS would save us here, since the URL parameters containing the credentials would be encrypted along with everything else. Somebody please tell me that I'm missing something obvious. Thanks much

This works well from the command line, but I wanted to make the process easier by creating a web-interface to do this. I have not been able to get the mxmlc compiler to work. After searching on the Web and on this site, I believe that using fcsh (instead of mxmlc) may be the way to go. Using fcsh would certainly compile the .mxml file faster (after the first run), and I think that fcsh can be launched as a service that might be able to be called from PHP. On the other hand, maybe I am approaching this the wrong way. Would it be better to write a Flex application that calls fcsh/mxmlc and avoid using PHP? Thanks Kanu kukrejA

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 4 RichEditableText component ignores multipe space
I have a use case where we have two Flex 4 RichEditableText components. (Using
the latest public Flash Builder 4; Flex 4 SDK version: 4.0.0.14159).
One of the component is bound to the other's 'text' property through
TextConverter.importToFlow.
The problem is, after hitting the space key on the keyboard more than once, the
whitespace is shown only once on the other RichEditableText component. It
seems, the TextConverter.importToFlow stops updating and ignores the second and
all subsequent space on the other text component. When we trace the
TextConverter.importToFlow(editor.text, TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT)
value, we can see multiple break tags as html, but the component displays only
one of them.
What are we doing wrong? Is this even possible using the Spark components?
Please note that this is not a simple matter of changing to a simple 2-way
binding between these two components. Our use case dictates that we use
TextConverter.importToFlow as we're working with a server-side model.
How to reproduce:
1. Place the cursor between Test Test and hit Backspace on your keyboard.
2. See how the two components now both display TestTest.
3. Place the cursor between TestTest and hit the space key on your keyboard
once, hit it twice Now see how the other component stops updating to show
the space between Test Test after only the first space.
Result:
Test Test
Expected result (after hitting the space key twice):
Test Test on both text fields.
Code:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

downSkin: Embed(source=assets/images/close_button_over.png);

Now, I've tried to do the same thing in a Flex 4 button skin and there
is S much code and all of it is FXG. I've read it and understand
it but when I've created my own and stripped all the FXG out there are
issues with resizing, issues with positioning (on mouse over) and
more.
Will someone please create an example equivalent to what the Flex 3
code above is doing?

RE: [flexcoders] Creating a Flex 4 button skin - need examples
The Spark BitmapImage component only supports embedded images in Flex 4.0.
You could use mx:Image instead if you want to use dynamically loaded images, or
you could check out Steven Shongrunden's blog post,
http://flexponential.com/2010/03/17/using-non-embedded-images-in-a-spark-bitmapimage/
and see if that helps.

Thanks Peter. That worked as is but when I removed the embed directive it

Re: [flexcoders] Encoding XML Character Entity References *properly*

My question is basically this: How do I create an XML node with a toXMLString() value of: valuea lt;foogt;stringlt;/foogt;/amp;/value from a value of var value:String = a foostring/foo/; Is this really something one is expected to code by hand using RegExp or splitjoin? Isn't this something everybody who needs to send / recieve XML needs to be safe? I just can't find it anywhere. Also, I wrote: P.S.: Please don't tell me about escape() because it URL-encodes, which is not the same thing. (For ab I want aamp;b, not a%26b). Sorry if this offended anyone.

RE: [flexcoders] flex 4 and descendant CSS selectors
If those nested List components consider the mySitesList to be an ancestor in
their style chain then it will apply because of the use of a descendant

nested List instances to find your mySitesList List.

I have a series of checkboxes that will be used to narrow down the recommended product based on a formula. Actually there is more than one formula and the checkboxes are broken up into sections. It seems like I need to parse the XML, then apply filters based on some of the initial checkboxes which is not a problem so far, but then I need to be able to apply more filters to resulting the XML data.

Steve, Thanks for the lead.
As I found out, it seems to be the issue when I targeting Flash Player 10. The
code:
myTextInput.text = ;
//myTextInput.setFocus();// no need to call this.
works exactly as I expect (clearing the previous text entry, with TextInput
remaining in focus) for an mx:TextInput when compile against FP 9.
Once I target FP10, myTextInput.text = stops working (text not cleared out
after enter).
Any ideas??
RE: [flexcoders] HTTPService HTTPChannel 2032 Channel.Ping.Failed trying to do asimple form post
If you've setup a crossdomain.xml file correctly then there's no need to set
useProxy=true for your scenario (you could just leave it as the default,
which is false).
The HTTPService url property does not appear to be marked with [Bindable]
metadata. You can programmatically change its in ActionScript:
connectPG.url = urlInput.text;
Note: The 'proxy' in useProxy refers to a BlazeDS ProxyService - if you were to
use BlazeDS then you'd either need to setup your own ChannelSet
programmatically and assign it to your HTTPService instance, or point the
compiler to the BlazeDS web application's /WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml
file using the -services option.

Subject: [flexcoders] HTTPService HTTPChannel 2032 Channel.Ping.Failed trying
to do asimple form post
I must be missing something since I'm trying to do something fairly basic. It
really can't be this difficult, can it? I'm trying to use the HTTPService to
post to a form. No web services. And I even put a crossdomain.xml policy file
on the server for good measure.
First I got the dreaded 2032 Stream error, and after some digging saw that the
FaultEvent was complaining that no channels were set. So I added a ChannelSet,
now I'm getting a ping failure?
Here is a sample of my service:
mx:HTTPService id=connectPG
result=resulthandler(event) fault=fault_handler(event)
resultFormat=text showBusyCursor=true
url=urlInput.text
useProxy=true method=POST
mx:channelSet
mx:ChannelSet id=pGChannelSet
mx:HTTPChannel id=pGChannel pollingEnabled=false
mx:url
{urlInput.text}
/mx:url
/mx:HTTPChannel
/mx:ChannelSet
/mx:channelSet
mx:request xmlns=
username{userName.text}/username
password{userPW.text}/password
/mx:request
/mx:HTTPService
And when I call the send() method, the fault_handler() reports :
[FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString=Send failed

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Eclipse Crashing
Ah - for the second part, go into each of the Flex Library projects' properties panels, look at the Flex Build Path section, then select the Library path tab. Expand the Flex 3 node and look at the *.swc files that are listed (which is effectively your library path for compilation). For example, a Flex project would need playerglobal.swc and framework.swc at a minimum, but other swcs may not be needed so you could try reducing the list to the bare minimum to save memory.

I don't think that the name you put in the fontFamily spot in the CSS has to
agree with anything in the font itself...I belive it's just a handle to allow
you to refer to it as you're applying it to components.
Try:

RE: [flexcoders] Re: AIR has different behaviour in XML.appendChild() vs Flex for String values?
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-19598
Not a perfect solution, but to help out with your issue of modifying generated
code - your generated Service stub should have a method called getWebService()
which retuns a subclass of mx.rpc.soap.AbstractWebService. You should be able
to set the xmlSpecialCharsFilter property on this web service instance, and
that'll trickle down to any Operation's and then to any SOAPEncoders used by
these Operations.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: AIR has different behaviour in XML.appendChild() vs
Flex for String values?
I'm glad you wrote this up because I thought I was going crazy.
In my case, I'm using the FlexBuilder-generated web services client code in
AIR. The SOAPEncoder and XMLEncoder classes actually end up double-escaping any
XML characters in strings that are being passed up to my web service so a
simple character becomes amp;lt;, which is decoded on the other end as
lt; instead of as .
I can see where it's happening. XMLEncoder.as, line 1784, looks like this:
currentChild.appendChild(xmlSpecialCharsFilter(Object(value)));
The xmlSpecialCharsFilter is doing the escaping, then appendChild (as your
note points out) escapes the string again.
Of course, since the problem is too much escaping, pre-escaping the string
won't help.
The only way around it in XMLEncoder is to replace the xmllSpecialCharsFilter.
But in my case, I'm using the FlexBuilder-generated web services code (from
Data - Import Web Services). So for now I'm editing that code. Of course that
means I have to re-edit the code each time my service changes and I regenerate
it. What a pain.
Here's what I did, in Baseservicename.call:
var enc:SOAPEncoder = new SOAPEncoder();
enc.xmlSpecialCharsFilter = function(value:Object):String {return
value.toString()}
var soap:Object = new Object;
That works, but only in AIR (I assume, not really trying it in Flex).
So there's a hacky workaround. But really this should be fixed. At the very
least, the FlexBuilder-generated code should be set up to work in either
environment. As it is, Import Web Services will err for an AIR app where
there is a or in any text property passed to the web service.
Is there a bug for this?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: AIR has different behaviour in XML.appendChild() vs Flex for String values?
You're right, I took a closer look into the generated stub code and in the
subclass of AbstractWebService - they've by-passed the usual RPC
service/operation behavior and implemented a custom private call() method (and
it's in there a new SOAPEncoder is constructed). This service stub really
should expose a delegate to the SOAPEncoder. So. I think it's still worth
logging a request in Flex Builder for this generated code to be updated in
general, but I agree that really SDK-19811 needs to be fixed.
(Note: It seems SDK-19598 has become SDK-19811).

Pete,
Thanks for the tip. I can set xmlSpecialCharsFilter on the service, but it
doesn't get passed into the encoder.
Looking around at the generated code and that in the 3.2 SDK (maybe it's
changed for 3.3?) I see that the FlexBuilder-generated code is using a class
called WSDLOperation, and doesn't seem to be using Operation at all -- and it's
in Operation (as you noted) that the xmlSpecialCharsFilter is passed down. Am I
missing something?

RE: [flexcoders] swf file size changes from build to build?
I would have to agree with Maciek as on seeing the file size differences I was skeptical it would just be timestamps causing the difference (although the point that the consecutive compiles will not result in the exact same bytes is a valid one). Fotis, I'd be interested if you could investigate whether forcing a clean first before building results in the same file size, where as incremental compilations lead to the larger variants in file size that you're seeing? Have you tried running each differently sized SWF to see if they behave or look different? A guess at what may cause something like this would be a bug during prelink where perhaps a different set of style-mixins are getting linked in. If you could save the different sized SWFs you could use something like SWF Dump to look at the contents to see what was different.

RE: [flexcoders] OS-dependent mxmlc behavior for fonts?
Ah, 2 thing to mention here. 1. In your CSS, instead of using local() (this is only supported by the JREFontManager as it is the only FontManager implementation that has access to your native operating system font server. The reason I suggest not using JREFontManager is that there are issues with the JRE's reporting of font metrics that can lead to layout issues), try using url() and point to the .ttf file itself. Many developers keep fonts in an assets folder with their Flex source and do something like this: src: url(assets/SomeFontICanEmbed.ttf); 2. In order to use the AFEFontManager in /frameworks/flex-config.xml, check that you have the following jars in your Flex SDK's lib directory: /lib/afe.jar /lib/aglj32.jar /lib/rideau.jar If you do not see these files, you may have downloaded the MPL version of the Flex SDK 3.1 (in the column Open Source Flex SDK. If you can, try downloading the non-MPL version (in the column Adobe Flex SDK) to get the complete functionality of Flex SDK 3.1. http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+3 If you must use the MPL version, continue to use the url() syntax in your src: property of your CSS @font-face, rules but rely on the BatikFontManager in /frameworks/flex-config.xml. Pete P.S. Note you can leave the JREFontManager configured in /frameworks/flex-config.xml - you'd just leave it as the base (first) entry so that it can still handle any local() syntax in src: properties of @font-face CSS rules. Any FontManager entry following it will override its behavior for at least url() referenced fonts. For MPL SDK, try: managers manager-classflash.fonts.JREFontManager/manager-class manager-classflash.fonts.BatikFontManager/manager-class /managers For non-MPL, i.e. the full SDK, try: managers manager-classflash.fonts.JREFontManager/manager-class manager-classflash.fonts.AFEFontManager/manager-class /managers -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Peldi Guilizzoni, Balsamiq Studios Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 5:37 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] OS-dependent mxmlc behavior for fonts?

RE: [flexcoders] What are the chances Flex could be causing this?
I would have thought that if you were hitting the maximum connections per host limitation then your requests would just queue and take longer to respond. Out of curiosity, how many fail and how many return data? Does the number change? Are the 10 SWFs calling back to the same dev server hosting the SWFs, or are they hitting a different URL? If they are hitting a different URL, can you possibly host your swf on the remote URL and try again (ensuring that the URL used to load the SWF has exactly the same host name as the service being contacted)? You could try testing your theory by modifying the registry to allow IE to make more requests simultaneously, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282402 You could also try Firefox for comparison?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Where I can examples of how to use ByteArray
Although not FLV, I wrote a sample AMF 0/AMF 3 client based on
flash.utils.ByteArray and flash.net.URLLoader. See my blog entry
http://blogs.adobe.com/pfarland/2008/06/using_amf_with_flashneturlload.html
which mentions the ActionScript source which was submitted to BlazeDS as an
attachment to BLZ-209. See amf.zip at:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/BLZ-209
For FLV, the key is to understand the Type column for each field. I took a
quick look at the spec and it seems to use conventions similar to the SWF
format.
private function onComplete(e:Event):void
{
var ba:ByteArray = loader.data as ByteArray;
if (ba != null ba.length 9)
{
// Peek at the first 3 bytes to check for 'F' 'L' 'V'
if (ba.readUnsignedByte() == 0x46 ba.readUnsignedByte() == 0x4C
ba.readUnsignedByte() == 0x56)
{
ba.position = 0;
decodeFLV(ba);
}
}
}
i.e. For UI8, use readUnsignedByte() to get a uint
For UB[n], use readUnsignedByte() and then shift to find the relevant bit(s)
for each flag.
For UI32, use readUnsignedInt() to get a uint
For UI24, use 3 successive readUnsignedBytes() and shift values appropriately
to form a uint from the 24bits.
etc...

Subject: [flexcoders] Where I can examples of how to use ByteArray
I have searched everywhere and I can't find useful examples of how to use the
ByteArray class and the Flex 3 documentation does not include much.
I want to read and FLV file with ByteArray, but I don't know how.
I tried:
private function init():void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(assets/street.flv);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
try {
loader.load(request);
} catch (error:ArgumentError) {
trace(An ArgumentError has occurred.);
} catch (error:SecurityError) {
trace(A SecurityError has occurred.);
}
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
}
private function onComplete(e:Event):void
{
var byteArr:ByteArray = new ByteArray ();
byteArr.readByte(); //
trace(byteArr +byteArr);
}
the ByteArray readByte method accept 0 parameters, so what should I do?

RE: [flexcoders] OS-dependent mxmlc behavior for fonts?
Peldi, by system font, do you mean device fonts (i.e. not embedded)? What version of Flex? Are you pointing to a .ttf file using an @font-face CSS rule with a url? If so, and if you're using Flex SDK 3, go into your /frameworks/flex-config.xml and comment out the BatikFontManager from the list of font managers, and try just leaving the AFEFontManager.

RE: [flexcoders] HttpService headers - age old problem
See: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security.html For POST requests, the confusion probably arises because it was possible to send Authorization headers in the past, but it was added to the list of restricted headers (I don't have the exact version handy, but it might have been 9.0.124). Even though the crossdomain policy format was expanded to include an allowed header list, I believe the restricted headers are still always ignored. See http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/net/URLRequestHeader.html for a list of restricted headers. For GET requests, headers not being sent is a different issue logged against URLLoader - I believe this is due to a limitation of the plugin APIs exposed to the player.

[flexcoders] Accordion component and drag?

Re: [flexcoders] AMF instead of XML over http?
ByteArray supports readObject() and writeObject() which read and write objects using AMF. The ByteArray can be written to disc as a file, or sent to a server as a variable (you may have to 7bit- or base64-encode it). Once you have this file, you can load it into your application using any means you like (HTTP/GET, Socket, FileReference,...).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Help Me for SharedObject and registerClassAlias method
I'm not sure what you mean about casting in this context. Also, I
guess you meant AMF3 when you said AMF2? (with AMF0/ AS2, you can use
Object.registerClass() for the same effect).
In AS3, registerClassAlias() is the way to make this work. But, as
Braam said, [RemoteClass] is the simplest way: it will insert the
registerClassAlias() code for you, so you don't have to worry about
where to put it, and will make sure it is ready when you need it.

Hi,
i've yet posted this question but i can't resolve this problem..
i've created a custom value object class..a simple class with private

public class WindowInfo
{

private var _module:String
private var _xpos:int;
private var _ypos:int;
private var _width:int;
private var _height:int;
public function WindowInfo(id:String, module:String, xpos:int,
ypos:int, width:int, height:int)
{
this._id = id;
this._module = module;
this._xpos = xpos;
this._ypos = ypos;
this._width = width;
this._height = height;
}
public function get id():String {
return _id;
}
public function get module():String {
return _module;
}
public function get xpos():int {
return _xpos;
}
public function get ypos():int {
return _ypos;
}
public function get width():int {
return _width;
}
public function get height():int {
return _height;
}
}
then i created an array collection where each item is an istance of
value object.
then i have a shared object manager that looks like this:
package util{
import flash.net.SharedObject;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
public class SharedObjectApplicationManager {
private var mySO:SharedObject;
private var ac:ArrayCollection;
private var lsoType:String;
public function SharedObjectApplicationManager(s:String) {
init(s);
}
private function init(s:String):void {
mySO = SharedObject.getLocal(s);
if (getf()) {
getf();
}
}
public function getf():ArrayCollection {
return mySO.data.arrayc;
}
private function adda(array:ArrayCollection):void {
mySO.data.arrayc = new ArrayCollection();
mySO.data.arrayc = array;
mySO.flush();
}
}
}
so when i try to get arraycollection with getf method i get an
arraycollection of generic objects…not with windowinfo objects..in
this manner i can't get value properties of value object class.
so i would use registerClassAlias(Info, WindowInfo) where WindowInfo
is the VO..but where?
the architecture of my app is:
-main application (verify the shared object, if full then call a
public function of canvas to create windows with specific parameters
saved in windowinfo class)
–canvas (contains one or more windows)
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

[flexcoders] QTP Build Issue
Hi,
I am having difficulties building a QTP-enabled application via the Ant
mxmlc/compc tasks.
The structure of the project is a Library Project (Common.swc) and a Main Flex
Application (Main.swf), which links to the Library Project.
Building the application using Flex Builder (including the four automation/QTP
libraries) produces a SWF around 1.8MB is size, which is recognised by QTP.
Running the same build via an Ant script, produces a SWF around 1.1MB in size,
which is not recognised by QTP as a Flex Application (only a
MacromediaFlashPlayerActiveX object).
Below are the four different builds and their results:
Flex Builder (No Automation)
Common.swc - 1.5MB
Main.swf - 1.1MB

Have you considered pulling the auto suggest content in when the application starts and / or in the background? The only other option that comes to mind is have the server page generate an XML document and have that downloaded in to the users browser cache maybe and pull the data from there? Depending on how often that data changes you could have the server generate the XML document at intervals or when the application is loaded perhaps, I think a server should be able to handle the load depending on the amount of users at any given time.

[flexcoders] Flash Player 10 debug?
Hi Everyone, quick question that I've not found an answer to. Is it OK to install the debug version of Flash Player 10 and still work with Flex 3 and Flash CS3, any problems or anything with that? Or do we have to stick with Flash player 9 until the next Flex release for FP 10 compatibility?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Base64Encoder / Base64Decoder
What do you want to do with Base64? I might be able to point you at an example. I've also logged a bug for documentation to ask them to provide examples in these classes (note this, and commenting on the live docs, is a better way to get the doc team's attention). https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDOCS-509
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Base64Encoder / Base64Decoder
Just curious, where'd folks see the decoder docs talk about a toString()? Base64Decoder's primary use is to decode to a ByteArray so it has a toByteArray() method. If you wanted to construct a String from this ByteArray you'd need to know the charset encoding used in the bytes.

But it looks like that method simply got left out of the decoder class. Add it in just like in the encoder and things aren't as confusing (although I'd argue that using the toString() method to retrieve the result is an inherently confusing way to use the classes). Doug
Re: [flexcoders] Trying to refine inline itemrenderer prompt to state based image loading
Thanks Tracy.
I will take your take your advice. The result will be much cleaner than the
quick fix approach I was trying to use - even if I could have got it working.
I am not that clear on the item renderer lifecycle (I am pretty new to flex),
but will soon learn the specifics.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Trying to refine inline itemrenderer prompt to state
based image loading
If I am understanding correctly, I’d
say that is way too complex behavior to cram into an in-line renderer.
Perhaps someone else will be able to give you a simple solution, but…
Build a full renderer class that overrides
set data() and uses invalidation with commit Properties() and
updateDisplayList( ).
If you are an item renderer component lifecycle expert, you can start from
scratch, otherwise, *find an example*.
Any data that affects the row/item-level
state you will need to store in the dataProvider, or elsewhere. For
example, the start index of your image list. The set data function must
cause that index value to be retreived from wherever you stored it, and then
use invalidation to ensure that the “load next 11” functionality
gets called using that index.
All this is necessary because renderers
are recycled. This mean creationComplete only fires once, and anything
not set using the above data/invalidation mechanism will randomly display when
you scroll.

refine inline itemrenderer prompt to state based image loading
Hi,
Here is the component with the inline item renderer:
local:Component
local:itemRenderer
mx:Component local:imageRend
creationComplete= outerDocument. loadFirstEleven( event.currentTar get);
click=outerDocumen t.inView( event.currentTar get);/
/mx:Component
/local:itemRendere r
/local:Component
Here is the creationComplete triggered function:
var count55:int= 0
public function loadFirstEleven( targetObj: Object):void{
var target:imageRend = (targetObj as imageRend);
if( count55 Math.min(12, model.subscriptions .length ) ){
target.currentState = loading_thumbnail ;
count55++;
}
}
Which, as expected, changes the state in the first lot of target objects.
(Changing the state prompts imageRend to start retrieving related
images, and 'loaded' swaps out a placer image with the required one.)
So far so good, but what I really want to do is load up the first few
images, and then react to user clicks (hence the 'inView' reference)
to load up further images i.e. 13 onwards.
I have tried traversing, using the objects parent property, and then
getChildAt/getChild Index combinations, as a basis for finding the
current position + 12, but I am just guessing and its getting me nowhere.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Read the itemrenderer posts on my blog
