[flexcoders] SQLite - Importing file
Is it possible for a Flex app to import a CSV file into the SQLite database? I know I could read the file with AS3, parse it as a CSV and insert the data ... but I see the sqlite3 has an import command and I just wondered if there was any other way for Flex to handle the importing of large text files on the client. -- Rick Root New Brian Vander Ark Album, songs in the music player and cool behind the scenes video at www.myspace.com/brianvanderark
Re: [flexcoders] SQLite - Importing file
Sadly that won't be an option in this case... I'm writing a desktop app that will parse locally generated text files and shoot the changes up to the server... since 80% or more of the data won't be changing on a daily basis. I still haven't decided if this is the best way to do it... rather than just shooting the whole data file up to the server and having the server do the parsing and updating.

[flexcoders] Type Coercion Issue with custom event
tryign to debug this line of code:
systemManager.dispatchEvent(new AuthEvent(AuthEvent.AUTHSUCCESS,
false, false, e));
You can view the entire function that line of code resides in here:
http://cfm.pastebin.com/d3fcd26de
steps into the systemManager object, then I step return and we're fine.
Then step into the AuthEvent class.. also fine... I step over each
until it returns to the above line.
Here is the AuthEvent.as
package ads.events
{
import flash.events.Event;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
public class AuthEvent extends Event
{
public static const AUTHSUCCESS:String = 'authsuccess';
public static const AUTHFAILURE:String = 'authfailure';
public var authResult:ResultEvent = null;
public function AuthEvent(type:String,
bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false,
authResult:ResultEvent=null)
{
this.authResult = authResult;
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
override public function clone():Event
{
return new AuthEvent(type, false, false, authResult);
}
}
}
At this point, the debugger shows this line still highlighted:
systemManager.dispatchEvent(new AuthEvent(AuthEvent.AUTHSUCCESS,
false, false, e));
And I do step into again... generates the following error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
ads.events::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent.
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at
ads::LoginWindow/authByUsernameResult()[C:\src\flexProjects\Components\ads\LoginWindow.mxml:83]
so my question is - what's causing this problem? dispatchEvent()
expects an Event, which it gets... so exactly why is anything being
converted from ads.events.AuthEvent to mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent?
Many thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: List Filter Problem driving me crazy!
(Sorry for quoting the whole freaking thing here... gmail won't let me edit
the quoted part :( )
Alex,
I am currently compiling using Flex Builder 3 and compiling my application
with Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 SDK.
Under this scenario, the items do sometimes remain selected - but sometimes
not.
If I compile versus Flex 3 M3 (beta 2) SDK, I see that the items do not
remain selected.
so apparently, I was taking advantage of a bug in the Flex 2 SDK with the
selectedIndices, eh? Bummer.
so if I want these items to remain selected I need to store the list of
selected items separately (as someone else mentioned on another list)
But I still want them to appear selected in the list, after the a filter is
removed or changed... is there a an event that fires off after a filter
operation is completed?
Also, I'm not sure how I can copy the item being selected to my temporary
storage area... or more importantly, how to remove the item being
deselected. The change() event on the list itself doesn't specific the item
being clicked and whether its being selected or deselected...
Any suggestions?

[flexcoders] flex problem with coldfusion 8
I posted this problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED] a week or so ago but I
haven't gotten a solution yet. So I'm trying flexcoders and
cf-talk
I have an application that doesn't seem to be working properly.
Basically, I've got a query (in coldfusion 8) that returns a few
columns directly to flex via a remoteobject call.
Some of the columns are DECIMAL(10,2).
Flex is interpreting the results as strings instead of numbers, so
sorting data in my datagrid is failing to work properly.
Here's my query (in cf):
select
DISTINCT
GIFTAB1.ENTITY_ID,
'J. Q. Public' AS PREFERRED_NAME,
GIFTAB1.CREDTDAT,
CAST(GIFTAB1.LEGCRAMT AS money) AS LEGCRAMT,
GIFTAB1.SOFTAMT
FROM ...
Note that I'm casing LEGCRAMT to money, while I'm leaving SOFTAMT as
the regular type DECIMAL(10,2).
My response handler in the Flex app:
private function getMatchingGivingResult2(e:ResultEvent):void
{
var data = ArrayCollection(e.result);
dgGivingHistory.dataProvider=data;
refreshDataProvider();
}
If I put a break in there, I see the contents of data, and both
SOFTAMT and LEGCRAMT are strings. CREDTDAT is a date, as it should
be.
What's going on here? I need flex to understand that LEGCRAMT and
SOFTAMT are numbers, not strings, so that when those numbers are
sorted in the datagrid, they are sorted correctly.
Thanks.

[flexcoders] Flex Remoting over SSL - Coldfusion 8
Posted this to another list but haven't solved this problem yet... it
really bugs me that this is so poorly documented.
I have some Flex apps running that were running with a Coldfusion 7
backend using SSL. To do this, I merely modified the
services-config.xml to use https instead of http, and changed the
channel classes to the secure versions of those classes. All was
well.
Now that I've upgraded to Coldfusion 8, all my flex apps are sending
their gateway requests over https. This is normal, of course, because
I hadn't changed the config files yet.
So I looked at the config files and I see there is now a
services-config.xml and a remoting-config.xml. The
services-config.xml contains channel definitions for both ssl and
non-SSL (this is new)... the destinations are defined in
remoting-config.xml.
So I added a new destination called ColdFusionSSL - looks like this:
destination id=ColdFusionSSL
channels
channel ref=my-cfamf-secure/
/channels
properties
source*/source
!-- define the resolution rules and access level of the
cfc being invoked --
access
!-- Use the ColdFusion mappings to find CFCs, by
default only CFC files under your webroot can be found. --

!-- allow public and remote or just remote
methods to be invoked --

!-- Query column names --
force-query-lowercasefalse/force-query-lowercase
!-- struct keys --
force-struct-lowercasefalse/force-struct-lowercase
/property-case
/properties
/destination
It's just a copy of the ColdFusion destination, except it refers to
the secure channel. The secure channel is defined in the
services-config.xml and was not changed. This is the default from
CF8...
channel-definition id=my-cfamf-secure
class=mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel
endpoint
uri=https://{server.name}:{server.port}{context.root}/flex2gateway/cfamfsecure;
class=flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint/
properties
polling-enabledfalse/polling-enabled
serialization
instantiate-typesfalse/instantiate-types
/serialization
/properties
/channel-definition
I changed the destination of my mx:RemoteObject tags to refer to
this new destination, compiled, and ran.
No luck. I get the following error message:
Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed:

[flexcoders] Flex 2, CF8, Remoting and SSL

[flexcoders] Sorting content in a List component
I have two lists, with the ability to drag items from one to the other. works fine.. However, my users have asked that the data in the destination list be sorted alphabetically rather than just dropped in place. I can't get this to work though. By default, the list items are dragged in and placed in the array collection where they are dropped. So I've added the following code to my dragComplete vent handler: var target:List = List(cboSelectedFundcodes); var sort:Sort = new Sort(); sort.fields = [new SortField(LABEL, true)]; ArrayCollection(target.dataProvider).sort = sort; ArrayCollection(target.dataProvider).refresh(); However, this doesn't seem to have any affect.

So I'm using this CheckBoxList component that someone on this list created for me. I've got a problem though when filtering the list using the dataProvider's filterFunction property. SOMETIMES the list items remain selected when they disappear from view due to being filtered, and sometimes they don't. The problem is somewhat erratic as to WHEN it happens. A secondary problem, which I can't replicate in my test app, is that when I clear the list by setting the selectedIndex property to -1, *SOMETIMES* the actual checkboxes stay checked, even though the items aren't selected any more (the blue highlight goes away, but the checkbox stays). The MXML code CheckBoxListTest.mxml, along with the components (CheckBoxList.as and CheckBoxListItemRenderer.as) are linkable from the test application: http://www.it.dev.duke.edu/public/CheckBoxListTest.html I appreciate any inside folks can offer. -- Rick Root Check out CFMBB, BlogCFM, ImageCFC, ImapCFC, CFFM, and more at www.opensourcecf.com
[flexcoders] REPOST: Problem switching to Flex Builder Plugin from standalone
(sorry if this shows up twice, I first sent it yesterday morning and
it still hasn't shown up on this stupid list, I freakin HATE yahoo
groups)
I've been using a slightly modified version of this (as we discussed
on the flexcoders list) for a while now:
http://url.rickroot.com/u/18
I'm switching from the standalone flex builder to the flex builder
plugin, and I can't get the app I use this in to compile anymore
because of a strange error in this component:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property CHANGE through a reference
with static type
Class. EntityLookup/adsCheckBoxListItemRenderer.as
/EntityLookup/ads/CheckBoxListItemRenderer.as
Now, the line at which this error is occuring is in this method:
override public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void {
super.listData = value;
this.selected = (listData.owner as
ListBase).isItemSelected(listData.uid);
//all we need to do is add an event listener to get notified whenever
//there a change event dispatched by the main list control
(value.owner as ListBase).addEventListener(ListEvent.CHANGE,
listEventHandler);
}
I don't understand why it worked just fine before (when I was using
FlexBuilder standaloen version) and it does not work in the plugin
version
Got any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] Problem removing popup window
On 4/19/07, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think you just have to step into the removePopUp code and see what's up That seems reasonable - except it works fine when I put the breakpoint in. If I remove the breakpoint.. the popup doesn't get removed. That doesn't make any sense at all because the breakpoint should not affect how the code runs. Here's what I did. I set the breakpoint at this line: PopUpManager.removePopUp(this); Then I debug the app... it stops.. I step through all the stuff... and the popup is removed. So I debug the app again, this time I just continue after the breakpoint. Still, the popup is removed. So I remove the breakpoint, and debug again. This time, the popup is NOT removed. Rick

Re: [flexcoders] Problem removing popup window

[flexcoders] Problem removing popup window
I have an application which uses PopUpManager to create a modal
progress window. I do this in several locations in the app.
The code in one component works... this one:
private function runQuery():void
{
// blah blah blah lots of stuff here to reate xml and whatnot
handleResponse = true;
roAdvanceER.runQuery(reportXML);
progressWindow =
ProgressWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,ProgressWindow,true));
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(progressWindow);
}
public function runQueryResult(e:ResultEvent):void
{
if (!handleResponse) {
return;
}
progressWindow.remove();
// blah blah blah lots of stuff here to handle result
}
I have what is essentially the EXACT same code in the other
component.. but it doesn't work there.
No errors are caused when I run it in debug mode.. it just doesn't
remove the popup.
I should mention... remove() is a public function of the
progressWindow component.. it looks like this:
public function remove():void
{
PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
}
Since debugging doesn't seem to be helping.. how can I determine WHY
the popup isn't being removed?
I put a breakpoint at the remotePopUp line above... and it executes..
but doesn't remove the popup in some cases.

[flexcoders] List Control with checkbox items
A while back, someone blogged about a custom component they'd built that rendered checkboxes in a select list. I can't find the blog entry, and I can't figure out how to do this myself. I tried using an item renderer, but the checkboxes didn't behave as I'd hoped. What I'm looking for is a way to a multi-select list control without the need for holding down the shift or control keys while selecting items.. Our users have this in an existing (VB) app right now and they like the extra visual feedback they get from the checkboxes along with not having to use extra key strokes to do the multiple selections. Any suggestions? rick -- CFMBB - Coldfusion Message Boards, Version 1.21 Now Available! http://www.cfmbb.org
Re: [flexcoders] List Control with checkbox items
(wow, gmail makes it difficult to quote emails from yahoo groups!)
That almost works here's my MXML:
mx:List allowMultipleSelection=true height=203 width=360
dataProvider={parentDocument.ro.getListData.lastResult.CONTROL_CODES}
labelField=TABLFLD id=lstControlCodes
rendererIsEditor=true itemRenderer=mx.controls.CheckBox
/mx:List
The problem here is that the checkboxes do not relate to the actual selected
status of the items. For example, if I click 3 different items without
holding down the control key, all 3 items have checkboxes, but only one (the
last) is highlighted in blue.. meaning it's the only one REALLY selected as
far as the list control is concerned.

On 3/27/07, Clint Tredway [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: here is a couple of ideas.

[flexcoders] Controlling item spacing in a vbox
I have a group of checkboxes that I'd like to put in a vbox. However, I need the spacing between the items in the box to be dramatically less than the standarding spacing because we have some real estate issues. I currently use absolute positioning on the checkboxes, and have them such that there is only about 1 px of space between each one. When I put them inside a vbox, they are automatically spaced in a way that I could only describe as double spacing... ie, there's room for another checkbox between each. I've tried setting the paddingTop and paddingBottom on the checkboxes and the vbox itself to no avail. Any suggestions?

[flexcoders] Determining the idle state of a flex application
Does anyone have any suggestions for monitoring idleness of a Flex application? The way my app works, pretty much any request to the server will renew a cookie for another 30 minutes.. so I could just have flex make a generic request every 10 minutes or so to avoid idling out, but I don't want to do that. What I'd like to do is perform that request - say every 5 minutes - if there has been any kind of activity in the flex app.. keyboard or mouse activity.. that way the server session stays active, and then if the user has been idle for more than 20 minutes (no keyboard or mouse activity) to actually blank the flex app window and pop up a login window, forcing the user to reauthenticate. I'm just not entirely sure of the best way to go about this. Rick -- I'm not certified, but I have been told that I'm certifiable... Visit http://www.opensourcecf.com today!

I realize this discussion is all related to Cairngorn, and I don't use Cairngorn or really know what it is... but here's a question. If a CFC method returns a QUERY, then Coldfusion uses code optimized (in theory by Adobe engineers) in the flex connector to convert the query object to an array collection. Why write your own, non-optimized code, to have Coldfusion return an array of objects. Why not just return the query and let CF do the conversion. I'd be interested to know the comparison of returning the QUERY versus the array of (manually created) objects or the array of (manually created) structs. Rick

[flexcoders] Launching a details window
In my app, I'm looking up information on users within our database. the search results are loaded into a datagrid in the main application. When you click on one of those results, I'm using a popup title window component to show details about that user. the init function (via the creationcomplete event) loads all of the details about that user into an object and populates the overview screen. There are also 20+ windows that will contain all kinds of detailed information about the user - for example, addresses. Since I've already got the data completely loaded into an object in the overview window... How to I reference that object in the subsequent popup window? The overview window declares a private variable eInfo like this: private var eInfo:Object = null; A user can have more than one open overview window .. but the details windows will be modal. I'm launching the Details window like this: dataWindow = PopUpManager.createPopUp(tnDetails, DataSummary, true); In the details window (another titlewindow component, named DataSummary), I don't know how to properly access the eInfo object from the calling overview window. How do I connect the two?

I've heard nothing about a bug fix release yet, but I'm not in the know :) I'm taking my cue from Coldfusion MX 6 on this which only really became viable with the release of 6.1. I have noticed a number of bug posts, but nothing critical which is great. That's really an invalid comparison. Coldfusion MX 6 was horrifically buggy from the start. It underwent a very limited beta, and it was a *MASSIVE* change in architecture in going from native C code to a java-based setup. Flex 2 - although it is a pretty significant update from Flex 1.5 - underwent a very in depth public beta, and aside from such minor bug reports as you may have seen, works quite well. I'm unfortunately being very pragmatic about this and am planning to begin serious development when I get the time (hard part) and ideally once there has been at least one 'patch' to Flex 2. Don't waste your time waiting. Even if there is a bug fix update to Flex 2, it won't be dramatic, because obviously Flex 2 already works really well.

mx:DataGridColumn width=80 headerText=Legal Credit
labelFunction=formatLegalCredit/
And here's my function:
public function formatLegalCredit(data, col):String {
var currency = new CurrencyFormatter();
currency.precision = 2;
currency.rounding = nearest;
return currency.format(data.LEGCRAMT);
}
But I'd have to build this function for every column with a number in
it. Bleagh. Gotta be a better way.
Can I build a datagridcolumn that automatically has a currencyFormatter
- or a dataFormatter - built into it?
Is there a better way?

[flexcoders] Filtering a Datagrid
Let's say I've got a datagrid containing a persons gifts to the University. Each item has a gift id, pledge id, legal and soft credit amounts, a fund code to which the gift is being credited, etc. By default, the grid loads all of a persons gifts. I'd like to be able to filter the data by fund - A simple way is to just use the sort functionality of the columns themselves, and then just havee them scroll down to find what they're looking for. But is there a simple way to filter the contents of a datagrid without going back to the server to re-retrieve the results? I could probably put the dataProvider into memory, then loop through it, creating a filtered dataprovider and assign it to the grid.. but I'm kind of hoping for a simpler solution :) rick -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Accordion initialization problem
I'm building an application with an accordion pane, and I'm having
problems accessing objects declared within a child panel.
For example, look at the code I've attached to the end of this email...
When you click any of the buttons, you get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
at testProject/::toggleAccordion()
at testProject/___Button1_click()
ONLY AFTER VIEWING the second accordion pane does this go away.
It's as if the children of the accordion pane aren't initialized until
they are displayed.
What's up with that?
Here's the sample code:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
private function toggleAccordion(idx:int)
{
acdMain.selectedIndex = idx-1;
Alert.show(foo.text, 'test', Alert.OK);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Accordion left=10 right=10 top=40 bottom=10 id=acdMain
mx:Canvas label=Pane 1 width=100% height=100%
/mx:Canvas
mx:Canvas label=Pane 2 width=100% height=100%
mx:Label id=foo text=foo/

Re: [flexcoders] Disappearing list items
so, I solved this problem. My data provider was a query returned by a remoting call created like this: cfquery name=qry2 dbtype=query SELECT TABLKEY, TABLFLD FROM application.udf.getalldropdowns WHERE TABLID = '010' ORDER BY TABLFLD /cfquery cfset queryaddrow(qry2,1) cfset querysetcell(qry2,TABLKEY,) cfset querysetcell(qry2,TABLFLD,) cfquery name=qry dbtype=query SELECT * FROM qry2 ORDER BY TABLFLD /cfquery cfset retval.COUNTRIES = qry I did it this way so I could always have a blank item in the dropdown The solution was to change the second querysetcell line to be the following: cfset querysetcell(qry2,TABLFLD,- not selected -) For some reason, the blank item caused every 5th label to disappear for no apparent reason. This seems like a bug. What's the address to report flex bugs to?

Aaron West wrote: Douglas, out of curiosity how come you prefer to not send queries from CF to Flex? Also, what do you do instead? You mentioned converting the query record-set to an Array of Objects or XML. What benefits do you get on the Flex end for doing this considering its more work for CF? I can't speak for Douglas, but I know that some people don't use coldfusion queries because they aren't portable objects.. ie, in the web service world, if you want your web service to be consumed by something other than flash player or coldfusion, you can't use queries as return types. Personally, since I know that the flash player is my recipient, I'd rather keep things simple and just return query objects.

[flexcoders] Flex academic/volune licensing
Back when Flex 1 was announced, it was really expensive, like $15k for a 2 CPU server license. But there was a nice discount through the old MVLP volume licencing program where it was only like $7500. And there were no connection limitations or anything then. It was still on the pricey side for us and so we didn't buy. Flex 2 was announced, and after about a week or so I was able to get a volumn licencing price for Flex Builder 2 (our cost was ridiculously low), but there was no discounted prices for Flex Data Services. I've just been told that there is STILL no discounted pricing whatsoever on Flex Data Services. What's up with that?so I'm stuck buying a 2 CPU license for up to 100 concurrent connections for $12,000, or $40k for unlimited connections. Have I been misinformed by the reseller that I spoke with? My department doesn't exactly have bulging pockets full of $40,000 bills. Adobe seems to think everyone who wants to use Flex Data Services must be rich.

[flexcoders] Disappearing list items
I have a flex app with several drop down select lists.
Some of the item labels are not appearing (ie, showing up blank) for no
discernable reason, and they do so in seemingly random fashion.
I've animated a gif to show you what's happening..
https://www.it.dev.duke.edu/public/flexbug1.gif
I don't have anything really strange in my mxml.. here's the tag:
mx:ComboBox id=cboRecordTypes
dataProvider={Application.application.ro.getListData.lastResult.RECORD_TYPES}
labelField=TABLFLD
change=RECTYPE.text=cboRecordTypes.selectedItem.TABLKEY;/mx:ComboBox
Can anyone figure out what's going on here?

[flexcoders] Problem with DataGrid itemFocusIn event
I have a flex 2 application with a datagrid.
I want to kick off a function when a row in the datagrid receives focus.
So I'm trying to use the itemFocusIn event, as described here:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/mx/controls/DataGrid.html#event:itemFocusIn
Here's my MXML:
mx:DataGrid width=500 left=10 top=40 bottom=10 id=dgMoves
dataProvider={ro.getMoves.lastResult} itemFocusIn=showDetails(event);
Here's my function:
public function showDetails(e:mx.events.DataGridEvent):void
{
var row:Object = dgMoves.dataProvider[e.rowIndex];
Alert.show(row.toString(),'row',Alert.OK);
}
No There are no compilation errors, but the showDetails() function
doesn't get called when items in the datagrid recevie focus.
A simple google search for flex itemFocusIn yields nothing useful (
http://www.google.com/search?q=flex+itemFocusIn )
Is there another event I should be using?

[flexcoders] state problem
I'm trying to work with states and having some difficulty.
Here is my state code in the MXML:
mx:states
mx:State name=details
mx:SetStyle target={dgCorpMoveSummary} name=visible
value=0/
mx:SetStyle target={btnBack} name=enabled value=1/
/mx:State
/mx:states
I get no errors when compiling.
The following function is executed:
public function getMovesResult(e:ResultEvent):void
{
txtTitle.text = 'Moves against ' + e.result[0].PRMLNAME;
currentState = 'details';
Alert.show(currentState, 'Current State', Alert.OK);
}
The alert shows the current state is details but the datagrid is still
visible, and the button is dstill disabled.
Everything looks fine in flex builder's design mode when I switch
states, so I don't understand why it isn't working when I run the app.

[flexcoders] Calling functions from an itemRenderer
I've got an itemRenderer in a datagrid that's rendering a linkbutton
with a script.
The following doesn't work because it's not valid XML, with the
symbols in the click value...
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Entity ID width=100 dataField=ENTITYID
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:LinkButton label={data.ENTITYID}
click=navigateToURL(new
URLRequest(javascript:popup_ultraslim('/tools/entityLookup3/entity_details.cfm?ENTITYID=
+ this.label + ',750,550)), '_self');/
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:DataGridColumn
I originally had a function defined in the same file that did that and I
called like like this:
mx:LinkButton label={data.ENTITYID}
click=launchDetailsWindow(this.label);/
But it kept telling me that launchDetailsWindow was a possibly
undefined function, leading me to believe that I don't understand
scoping in itemrenders :)

I had also tried
Application.application.launchDetailsWindow(this.label); which also

so I just added mx.core. to the front of it and it's good now.

[flexcoders] help with Variable scoping, namespaces, etc
I'm working on an app with a mainPanel and a couple of popup windows
that do various things.. one of them allows a user to enter search
criteria, and then the grid on the main panel is populated with results.
The other popup allows a user to select options for dropping the data
to a file.
The main app contains the following actionscript code:
###
public var lookupPeopleCriteria:Object;
private function lookupPeople(criteria:Object):void
{
lookupPeopleCriteria = criteria;
ro.lookupPeople(criteria);
}
public function generateDrop(colNames:Array):void
{
Alert.show(colNames.toString(),'OK',Alert.OK);
Alert.show(lookupPeopleCriteria.toString(),'OK',Alert.OK);
}
###
lookupPeople() is called when the search criteria window is submitted
and closed.. the criteria is passed in, and then assigned to the
lookupPeopleCriteria variable. The remote service runs fine and the
grid is populated.
When I open my drop options window, and choose my options, and
submit/close that window, it callls the generateDrop() function and
passes in some column names in an array.
the first alert works fine, but the second does not, and generates the
following error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
at DropOptionsWindow/::generateDrop()
at DropOptionsWindow/__btnGenerateDrop_click()
I think the problem here is that I don't fully understand how scoping
works. I thought that declaring the lookupPeopleCriteria object outside
of the function as a public variable would cause it to be accessible and
to remain in memory even after the lookupPeople() function call is
completed, but apparently, that is not the case.

[flexcoders] accessing item data in an XMLList
So far, I've been unable to find examples of using a tree control and
sending its data to a web service, remote object, etc. Lots of example
code on using the tree control, enabling drag and drop, putting
different kidns of data INTO the tree control- but nothing about getting
the data out of it.
My tree control is driven by an XMLList object. What i'd like to do is
get an array of all the labels for each node, but I'm not having any luck.
Here are my sample XMLList objects:
mx:XMLList id=treeData1
node label=One item with subitem
node label=Subitem/
/node
/mx:XMLList
mx:XMLList id=treeData2
node label=One Item Only/
/mx:XMLList
and here is my function that shows me the items in the tree:
private function showList(list):void
{
var item:XML;
txtResults.text = '';
for each(item in list)
{
txtResults.text += item: + item.attribute('label') + '\n';
if (item.elements().length() 0)
{
showList(item.children());
}
}
}
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to return the label on the root node.
I've also tried adding the following line above the for loop to no avail:
txtResults += list.attribute('label');
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Re: [flexcoders] accessing item data in an XMLList
ping... 7 hours later I haven't come up with a solution.. anyone?
I suppose I could send the whole XMLList object to coldfusion as a
string and have Coldfusion parse it, but that seems like an unnecessary
use of network bandwidth when all I really want are the labels compiled
into an array and sent.

[flexcoders] XMLList with a single item as a dataprovder
Why can the XMLList object with a single node and no subitems be used as a dataprovider for a list driven item, such as a tree, but I can't dump it out using the inherited toString() method? For an example, please take a look at the following simple flex app. It contains two trees, each populated with data from an XMLList object. One of those has only a single node with no subitems, the other has a single node with one subitem. https://www.it.dev.duke.edu/temp/flex/bin/Test.html source: https://www.it.dev.duke.edu/temp/flex/Test.txt As you can see, in both cases, the data shows up in the tree items exactly as you would expect. But when I try to dump it to a textarea, the XMLList object with the single node and no subitems doesn't appear. I have read the documentation on XML on livedocs and looked at the XMLList documentation as well. Allegedly, the answer to my question is in there but I can't find it. rick -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

I still don't understand the following. When you drag one item over, it appears in the tree. The tree has a dataProvider. It contains that one item. dest.dataProvider.toString() absolutely should show something. I understand the whole root node thing, it still doesn't explain why I can't dump the dataProvider using the object's toString() method, because it STILL HAS DATA.

[flexcoders] UI Design Help

They have the ability to choose which fields to drop, if they want.. so I've got an HTML format that looks like this, a bunch of categorized checkboxes. https://www.it.dev.duke.edu/temp/dropfields_example.html I figure there has to be a better way to build this kind of form in Flex, but I really don't have enough knowledge about all the possibilities... I'd love to hear some suggestions. I was thinking about using some kind of tree component - but with checkboxes that can be selected, not selected, or partially selected (a node that was partially selected would have some children that were selected and some that were not selected). No idea how to do that though :) Thanks.

[flexcoders] Variable references
I've got an interesting issue which I'm sure real programmers understand
but I don't know quite how to describe.
Essentially, I've got a flex component that contains, among other
things, an XMLList component with some data in it.
I have assigned that as the data provider for a tree item, and I've
enabled drag and drop so I can drag items from one tree to the other.
I also have a reset button that I want to restore the source tree to
its original state.
So on my TitleWindow (the main component) I have
creationComplete=treeDataInitial=treeData;
And my reset button does this:
private function resetFieldLists():void
{
treeData = treeDataInit;
treeSelectedFields.dataProvider = [];
}
Unfortunately, treeDataInit seems to be linked to treeData, because it
always contains the same content as treeData
How to I avoid this? How do I make a copy of an object in Flex 2 so
that it creates an entirely new object, not just a refernce to the
original object?

John Chipps-Harding wrote: I am porting a game done in AS2 to FLEX/AS3. It has physics collision detection on an isometric playing board. The AS2 version used to slow down when you had maybe 10 objects moving at a time but in FLEX/AS3 there seems to be no slowing down even with over 100 objects on screen! Amazing! I've especially noticed the difference in my apps in the datagrid component. Throwing 5,000 rows into a datagrid now - no problem! In AS2 - ouch.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: selectedindex and change event
Doug Lowder wrote: If you need the entire event, I guess you could call dispatchEvent() with your own event object. What I usually do instead is have the event handler call a function that takes the object as input, e.g. change=onSelectionChanged(event.target), in which case I can always call onSelectionChanged(theListObject) anytime selectedIndex changes in script. I do that in javascript all the time. In one large form application I have that has a LOT of dynamic content, pretty much *EVERY* item in the form has onChange=change(this);, then perform actions based on the object's ID. I'd imagine the same strategy would work well in actionscript.

I won't paste it in because that kinda stuff never shows up well in mailing lists =) https://www.it.dev.duke.edu/temp/test.txt It's really a very simple app. When I put in the popup code, I get the following errors, both on the popUpParent = mainPanel; line: SeverityDescription ResourceIn Folder Location Creation Time Id 2 1120: Access of undefined property mainPanel.

[flexcoders] Flex, remoting, and dev/production environments
When building a flex app that uses remoting with coldfusion... if I'm building on my local machine and get it all working using my local coldfusion server, can I just copy the files to the production server, assuming the mappings and everything are set up the same? Or does remoting rely on the build process to know which server to go to? In that case I'd have to rebuild the swf with the production servers services-config.xml file, right? Thanks.
