Maybe the ArrayCollections in catTreeLocalToFiltered are still referring to
the original ones in categoriesTree?  That might be why the object appears
to be equal to itself after the first pass.

 Hi,

 I am using ObjectUtil.copy to deep copy an object.

 The following code works: (note the call to new)

 var catTreeLocalToFiltered:CategoryTree = new CategoryTree() ;

 catTreeLocalToFiltered = ObjectUtil.copy(categoriesTree) as CategoryTree ;

 The problem is that the following code DOES NOT WORK:(note the absense
 of new)

 var catTreeLocalToFiltered:CategoryTree =
 ObjectUtil.copy(categoriesTree) as CategoryTree ;

 Actually it semi works. The first time catTreeLocalToFiltered is the
 same as categoriesTree.

 The second time catTreeLocalToFiltered does not become equal to
 categoriesTree but becomes equal to itself as it was after the first call.

 Are bytes cached for local variables if new is not explicitly used?

 Anybody from Adobe?

 PS: All this was checked/found out in the debugger stepping throught
 the code line by line...

 Thanks,
 Fotis

you can have additional methods on an object you are mapping, the methods
don't get serialized, only the public properties.

 Just for the record, this is now working, with the additional methods
 in place. I rechecked the alias and changed it to not extend

 So, yes, you can have additional methods on typed objects that need

 EventDispatcher.

If you are getting an array of untyped objects, that means that your class
mapping is not set up properly.  As already mentioned, make sure that you
have the $_explicitType variable set in your php VOs, and the RemoteClass
metadata included in your AS classes.  This might help:

  For example if an annual salary is 100K per year, then the hourly rate

[flexcoders] security question...testing locally while loading remote swfs

2008-05-22 Thread Rich Rodecker
I'm running into a little bit of a wierd situation while testing my project.
 When I debug the app, the main app swf loads in a swf from a remote URL.  I
know that the sandboxType is going to be different for the main app swf
(which would be local trusted) than the remote swf (which would be remote).
 The problem seems to be that you simply cannot set the security domain  in
a LoaderContext at all in a local swf...is there any way to do this, other
than testing everything remotely or everything locally?

[flexcoders] data modeling question : vo's in subclasses. should be pretty easy

2008-04-17 Thread Rich Rodecker
Just looking for pointers on how to handle this situation:
I have a BaseComponentClass, with several subclasses.  Each of these
subclasses also has a corresponding VO.

All the subclass components use a getter/setter dataProvider property which
expects a vo which matches their corresponding type.  So, I'm thinking
logically the dataProvider property is defined in the BaseComponentClass and
overridden in each subclass.

The problem I run into is that you can't change the method signature in an
override, so i can't reset the expected parameter type in the overridden
prop:

//  defined in BaseComponent:
public function get dataProvider ():BaseVO {
return _dataProvider;
}

public function set dataProvider (value: BaseVO):void {
_dataProvider = value;
dataProviderChanged = true;
invalidate();
}

//can't do this in subclass:
override public function get dataProvider ():SubclassVO {
return _dataProvider;
}

override public function set dataProvider (value:SubclassVO):void {
_dataProvider = value;
dataProviderChanged = true;
invalidate();
}


The way I'm seeing it, I can either just use the BaseClassVO for the type,
or create an interface for the vo, but either way it seems like I'm going to
have to cast it every time I try and access it in the subclasses.

Any suggestions?


Re: [flexcoders] data modeling question : vo's in subclasses. should be pretty easy

2008-04-17 Thread Rich Rodecker
ah, i think i see what i was doing wrong...I was also storing the reference
in the BaseClass:
protected var _dataProvider:BaseVO;

What was happening was that even though I was casting in the setter, in all
my subclass' methods that refer to the _dataProvider, I had to keep
recasting.  Seems like i need to not have that storage reference in the base
calss, and create a different one for each subclass.

  What do you mean by VO?

 VO means ValueObject (a.k.a. DTO (Data Transfer Object)) .. It's a
 simple object, with no logic, used to carry data around in typed
 bundles. Instead of using an anonymous object like
 { username: Castros, password :Bar, id:666 }, you have a typed
 UserVO object for which you can expect that you'll have a username
 :String, password :String, id:uint.

 Rich, I think you'll probably have to cast on the setter every time
 for subclasses. Of course, internally, you'll want to have a typed
 copy of your data.

 override public function set dataProvider(value :BaseVO) :void {
 _myTypedData = value as SubclassVO;
 //... invalidate.. etc.
 // 
 }

 I does make sense, though: outside classes that are expecting your
 particular interface don't really know that subclasses can use more
 sophisticated subclassed version of your object. You'll have to
 choose at what level of specificity you want to define your interface.

 If you find a cleaner solution, though, it'd be cool to know!

Re: [flexcoders] A Question about Cairngorm?

It's really just a few steps:

   1. Have your commands implement mx.rpc.IResponder, and define result
   and fault methods in the command.
   2. Call the service directly from the execute() method of the command.
   3. When you call the service, it returns an ASyncToken, and you can
   set the Command to act as the responder by setting token.addResponder(this).

So your command class will look something like this:

import mx.rpc.AsyncToken;

import mx.rpc.IResponder;


 public class InitAppCommand implements ICommand, IResponder

{

public function InitAppCommand(event:CairngormEvent)

{

 }


 public function execute(event:CairngormEvent):void

{

 var service:* = ServiceLocator.getInstance().getRemoteObject( myService )
;

 var token:AsyncToken = service.someMethod();

token.addResponder(this);

 }

 public function result(data:Object):void

{

}

 public function fault(info:Object):void

{

}

[flexcoders] best way to update a display object's VO's x and y props?

2008-04-02 Thread Rich Rodecker
Hello,
I'm building a page layout-type app using cairngorm. I have an
arraycollection of value objects in the model that stores the data for each
item on the page.  Every item on the page is a custom component (a PageItem)
that is bound to one of the VOs as a dataprovider.  The VO contains the
entire state of the PageItem, x,y,rotation, content, etc).

each PageItem is draggable.  When I drag the PageItem to a new position, i
need to have the VO updated as well.  Currently I am just updating the vo
from within the component when the mouse is released, but since it's bound,
that triggers the property change event on the VO, which doesn't really do
anything but is pretty inefficient.

I feel like there's gotta be some way to just proxy the PageItem's values
like x and y to the VO directly and I'm just missing it.

In the past I have used Momentos to save and restore state, but I'm trying
to achieve a greater separation of the view and the model, so that when I go
to save the data, I just grab the collection of VO's from the model and save
that, rather than query the view for it's state.

Anyone have any pointers?

 It sounds as though you want the PageItem's position to initially be set

yes, that's exactly what I want.

 Why don't you *not* have the x/y in the VO bindable? Instead, just have
 them bound to the PageItem's x/y.

 There are at least two possible objections to this:

 a) How will the PageItem's x/y initially get set to the VO's x/y? Well,
 you'd have to figure out some other mechanism.

 b) But part of the definition of a VO is that all properties are
 bindable! Well, rules are made to be broken.  :)

 But I'm not sure that this is a good idea. Bi-directional binding doesn't
 sound bad to me. You say it's inefficient, but is it impacting performance?
 If not, I wouldn't worry about it.

 to index them they are going to have to work with Adobe to figure out a way
 to index dynamic content.

 ---
 The problem
 - Flex apps that have dynamic content are not searchable by search engines.
 Example, a Flex forum.

 The Scenario
 - Current search engines follow links, index content and keywords and rank
 based based on that and other criteria (trackback links etc)

 The Players
 - Developers, Clients, Adobe, Google, Yahoo, etc
 - Users

 The Solution:
 - Something developers could figure out.
 - Something Adobe, Google or both together could figure out -- best in my
 opinion ADOBE PULL RANK
 - Technically, it could be anything that works. Could be a completely new
 approach. Maybe Google can call public API's in the swf to get dynamic
 content. Whatever it is it, the ball needs to start moving in this
 direction.
 - All we need is something simple that works and doesn't interfere with our
 work

 In the mean time:
 - http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
 - [PLACE LINK TO GOOGLE WISH LIST HERE - no, i don't have it]
 - blog on it
 - continue to work through the issues in this thread.
 - send flowers to JD. come back JD we love you!!! you had us at hello?!?!?

  I would like to say that I feel strongly that jd has been poorly treated
 and wrongly insulted a number of times in this thread.
 
  I'd also like to suggest that allowing link spidering to dictate the
 future of content indexing may be shortsighted. It's convienient, but it
 gets worse every year as a way of finding information. Ten years ago Alta
 Vista was the stuff, today it's Google, but the nature of search engines is
 such that any year Google could find itself replaced by something else, rss
 being a perfect example for a specific kind of info.
 
  Also, as a side note, as advertisers and marketers optimize the hell out
 of their information, it gets harder to find real information on Google (and
 not have the first 5 pages of a simple query return only links to products).
 The natural progression is that that will continue until something else
 takes over the role.
 
  I realize that in many cases it makes sense to go with the flow for either
 marketing or technical reasons and that google is a useful tool, but it's
 far from the endgame on indexing information.
 
  I do agree that it would be in Adobe's interest to make publishing well
 tagged information easier with built in components, tools, examples and
 specs, but it's really going to be hard for them to do something like that
 by themselves. They are probably better off  waiting for developers to
 articulate the problems and  brainstorm solutions until it's clear what
 they could do to help.
 
  Just my thoughts, not to be taken to seriously, but my real purpose of
 commenting here is that I don't think jd was well treated and I wanted to
 mention that.

Re: [flexcoders] especial caracters on AMFPHP

look for this line in the gateway.php file: //Read above large note for explanation of charset handling
 //The main contributor (Patrick Mineault) is French,  //so don't be afraid if he forgot to turn off iconv by default! //$gateway-setCharsetHandler(utf8_decode, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-1);
 $gateway-setCharsetHandler( none, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-1 );as it says there, there are notes in there that talk about charset handling.
