Subject: [flexcoders] Grab the Current State of a Button
Hello,
I have been trying to do something very simple here with Flex but have
hit a wall. I have several toggle buttons throughout the UI that when
one is activated others change their states depending on the states of
others. So, if button one is pressed button 1 looks at what other
buttons are pressed and makes a decision on what to do. Sometimes this
involves resetting another button's state to UP or DOWN. The problem is
that I can't find out how to query the state of any of these buttons. I
would think it would be a simple member of the Button class that one can
test like:
if(button.getState() == ButtonStates.DOWN) {...}
I looked into what Flex refers to as states, ButtonPhase (although there
doesn't seem to be any documentation on this), and a few other methods.
I would really hate to resort to creating over a dozen functions and
event handlers to get this very simple query to work. Does anyone have
any pointers or advice?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Microphone soundTransform and SPEEX codec bug
Hi All,
Can anyone else confirm the following bug? When using a SoundTransform
to set the Microphone volume to 0 (to avoid feedback), you get the
expected silent behavior with the default Nellymoser codec, while still
seeing microphone activity. If you switch the Microphone's codec to
SPEEX, the soundTransform volume setting of 0 is ignored. I tried sdks
3.2 and 3.3, and players 10.0.12.36 and 10.0.22.87. If there's already
a JIRA bug, I'd like to vote for it, otherwise I'll create one.

RE: [flexcoders] event passing when source/destination are on different parent bubbling chains?
In an app that has many parent and child components, how does one communicate across bubbling chains?

Can this be done in Flex, or do I create my own event subscription component where anybody from anywhere can subscribe with a self.reference? Sounds like you're describing the controller's function in MVC architecture. Usually an event is triggered by some sort of user interaction in hopes of changing the state of the application in some way. If you store the state in some sort of centralized model somewhere, the controller can react to user events, update the model's state properties accordingly, and let any part of the view that is bound to the model update itself on property change.

In Flex it's Application.scriptTimeLimit. If you're doing an AS3 only project, try checking out the -default-script-limits compiler argument to set a higher time.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Loader URLRequest and reuse
Yep - load the image with a loader, then dump it to a BitmapData object. Create 100 Bitmap objects that reference the single BitmapData object. From the docs: A Bitmap object can share its BitmapData reference among several Bitmap objects, independent of translation or rotation properties. Because you can create multiple Bitmap objects that reference the same BitmapData object, multiple display objects can use the same complex BitmapData object without incurring the memory overhead of a BitmapData object for each display object instance.

RE: [flexcoders] 3D flip effect
I believe so... the docs suggest you have to hack it since the registration point is always top left. Do a translation in the negative by half the component's width and height (this will get you centered), rotate it, then do the reverse translation to put it back in it's original spot. This was working fairly reasonably for me in an ENTER_FRAME handler with an image: img.transform.matrix3D.appendTranslation(-1 * img.width / 2, -1 * img.height / 2, 0); img.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(1, Vector3D.Y_AXIS); img.transform.matrix3D.appendTranslation(img.width / 2, img.height / 2, 0); That'll just rotate infinitely -- it would be up to you to turn this into a reusable effect...

If I'm right, the pageTitle property is set during compilation in the html

JavaScript for this. Override the resourcesChanged() method and call a
JavaScript function which will set the window's title. Here you will find an
example how to do it:

RE: [flexcoders] Memory consumption by the browser
Is this in all browsers? I know IE 6 (maybe even 7?) has issues with memory management. I consistently see memory leak-like behavior with IE 6, for example: Start debug session for basic app - IE reports 60+ MB memory usage with a value that steadily climbs as I use the app. Minimize the browser, then bring it back to view - IE memory usage drops to ~13 MB. Use the app for a few more minutes, memory footprint grows in size a few MB. Minimize, then restore - IE footprint back down to ~13 MB or so. I don't see the same behavior in FF, which is good.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Memory consumption by the browser
Hmm... at this point I suppose it depends on what you are doing with your popup component. We'd have to see some code to try and pinpoint memory-leaks. Are you creating a new popup everytime the user requests it, or do you create one instance and use the popup manager to show and hide that instance, setting data properties accordingly? Are you adding listeners to descendant components in the popup? If so are you using weak references?

RE: [flexcoders] Another 1034 - events and event types
Check out the docs for the activate event - it goes all the way up the chain to EventDispatcher/DisplayObject and is a broadcast event, which means: The DisplayObject class contains several broadcast events. Normally, the target of any particular event is a specific DisplayObject instance. For example, the target of an added event is the specific DisplayObject instance that was added to the display list. Having a single target restricts the placement of event listeners to that target and in some cases the target's ancestors on the display list. With broadcast events, however, the target is not a specific DisplayObject instance, but rather all DisplayObject instances, including those that are not on the display list. This means that you can add a listener to any DisplayObject instance to listen for broadcast events. In addition to the broadcast events listed in the DisplayObject class's Events table, the DisplayObject class also inherits two broadcast events from the EventDispatcher class: activate and deactivate . I'd take that to mean that you shouldn't use activate or deactivate (or any broadcast event names) for your custom events. I was able to replicate the 1034 using a custom activate event -- other names seemed safe though, depending on what component your DateRangePicker is being extended from.

RE: [flexcoders] XML walkdown Help
I just ran the code snippet below, and everything shows up in the Alert boxes as expected. The xml is a copy and paste from yesterday's posts. I noticed before you posted this you had a significantly different XML snippet. Perhaps the server is returning something different than what you think you're getting?

Sounds like you need to look into the flex component lifecycle. Usually children are created and addChild() is called for them during the createChildren() method. Then you move on to commitProperties(), measure(), etc. A pretty concise explanation can be found here: http://flexcomps.wordpress.com/2008/05/09/flex-component-life-cycle/ Beyond that, you can dig through the flex developer's guide at Adobe to get the finer details.

RE: [flexcoders] Playing Mp4 audio with Sound class?
I believe that is the case. You can only use extract on mp3 files with the Sound object and not on streams with Netstream - unfortunately this feature didn't make it into FP10 (hopefully FP11?). Depending on your setup, one option might be to use a tool like ffmpeg to convert the mp4 to an mp3 server-side, and then load that into a Sound object to do the extraction.

Ideally I just have a bindable variable in the model and then my

I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to get bitmapdata from a

however, when I try to get bitmapdata from the canvas, it does not
recognize the scaled size of the canvas container and as such when I
create a new bitmap using the data it is still at the original size.
Any ideas on how I can get bitmapdata that will match the width/height
of the scaled canvas would be greatly appreciated!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: getBitmapData from a scaled display object
Oh, I see... This seems like a bit of a hack, and could probably be
coded a bit cleaner, but maybe do the drawing from a parent container
and just set a clipping rectangle equal to the location and size of the
scaled object? If it works, I'd be curious to know. Here, the stage was
used:
bitmapdata.draw( Application.application.stage, null, null, null, new
Rectangle(displayObject2.x, displayObject2.y, displayObject2.width,

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: getBitmapData from a scaled display object
Hey Ryan,
Thanks for the thought; however, this doesn't solve my problem. The
problem is this: The children of the canvas that I want to scale up
are all vector (swf files). If I use a matrix or any other method to
scale up the graphics after they are in raster format (bitmapdata)
then the quality will be decreased severely. So what I am trying to
accomplish is to scale up canvas container, and all of its' children,
prior to getting the bitmapdata. This way the resulting bitmap will
not be pixelated or otherwise lose quality.
The issues that I am experiencing when using scalex/scaley on the
canvas container is that the scale of the container and its' children
is apparently ignored by getBitmapData as the resulting output is at
the original size of the canvas (prior to it being scaled up). The
example app that I pasted below should illustrate this issue.
Any other ideas appreciated.
Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: getBitmapData from a scaled display object
That's weird - the code I posted below looks like it produced the 400 x 400 PNG at near identical quality to the original. In theory, drawing the 400 x 400 pixel area of the stage that the child has been drawn at should produce the correct result. You sure you drew the application.stage object, and didn't just re-reference the displayObject2? Not that you would, but I would like to see if this technique actually works like it appears to over here.

Unfortunately, referencing the child from a parent did not seem to produce any better results. The issue still stands that the getBitmapData method (as well as bitmapdata produced by using the ImageSnapshot class) do not respect the current scale of the displayobject. So even though the displayObject appears at 400x400 on the stage (which is scaled up by 2 from 200x200 ), the bitmapdata copies it at it's original size of 200x200. I just can't figure out how to get it to respect the scaled size. I would think that there would be some sort of apply method, but I haven't found anything yet. THERE HAS TO BE AN ANSWER!!! haha..

Ryan I could kiss you right now (thankfully for my sake of my
masculinity the internet will prevent this from happening)! I kep
thinking on what you posted about grabbing the data by referencing the
parent, and then it hit me.. I placed the entire canvas inside of
another container, then called getBitmapData on the parent container
and VOILA!
THE ANSWER: It appears that in order to grab bitmapdata from a scaled
object and have the scaled size be respected, the object from which
you wish to get the bitmapdata must be the child of another container
object, and you must call getBitmapData on the parent (referencing the
parents width/height/etc in the getBitmapData method).
Many Thanks!

Perhaps you could gather the attachments in flex, add a parameter to your webservice for them, base64 encode them for transfer via that parameter, then base64 decode them back to binary files on the server when sending the email? Note, base64 encoding binary data increases its size roughly 30% for the transfer to the server. Not sure if bandwidth is an issue in your scenario.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How do they do that (Flex video)
I have to second that this seems like a niche usage. Most SWFs provide an interactive experience through the event model, and are not just timeline animations designed to be played from start to finish with a set duration. Such a tool would have to ignore the user interactions, and on something like a flex app with a login (or any swf where a user has to interact with the movie by clicking a button or other UI element to continue), you would simply be left with an FLV of unknown length playing a shot of the login form.

No, indeed it is not OK if folks who are evidently at least dabbling with Flex and there they are suggesting third party screen capture tools.

inline that for each loop in your switch to apply specific processing to
each type of node you are expecting.

As a String? You *should* be able to use the top-level XMLList()
function to turn it into an XMLList (note, untested; should be close):
var foo:String = name color=ff size=16 /address
color=00 size=20 align=left /phone ... etc /;
var fooList:XMLList = new XMLList(foo);
Then just iterate over it. I would investigate the XML/XMLList API docs,
because your data will be much easier to work with as XML (since it is
XML) than using regular expressions, especially in terms of maintenance
and robustness.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: IFrame: open new browser window from
Whenever I've worked with mixing content like this, I find it helpful to point my Flex Builder project properties to put the output in a folder that is actually served by a local instance of a server. That way during debugging, you can get the page exactly as it would behave when in a similar production environment. Check out Project Properties Flex Build Path. You'll see a few options at the bottom of which 2 are important: Output folder - set this to the path of the folder that your local server is serving it's content from, e.g. in IIS something like [Root]:\inetpup\wwwroot\someappname Output folder URL - set this to the URL of the application on your server, e.g. http://localhost/someappname http://localhost/someappname When you debug from flex builder, it will place the build output in that first folder path, then when the browser launches it will actually serve the build contents from the local server, and not the file system.

RE: [flexcoders] E4X equivalent to SQL where 'like %' expression ?

If you need complex calculations within an e4x expression, you can call
out to a function of your own. The () just requires a boolean value, so
you can do something like below, where I wanted to a bit of string
manipulation within the expression:
xlFilteredItems =
_xmlData..item.(itemContains(attribute(item),sFilterString))
and the function:
private function itemContains(sItem:String, sMatch:String):Boolean {
sItem = sItem.toLowerCase();
sMatch = sMatch.toLowerCase();
return (sItem.indexOf(sMatch) != -1);
}//itemContains
Obviously you can do just about anything inside such a function
including traversing the xml, and looping etc.

RE: [flexcoders] E4X equivalent to SQL where 'like %' expression ?
That would be a great feature. Maybe in FB4? The addition of typed
collections through Vectors seems like it would allow this as well as:
*
the ability to have some good type code hinting while writing
loops that iterate Vectors
*
standard aggregate functions like sum, group, etc through an
interface named something like IEnumerable
Wait a minute, this is starting to sound a little too much like C#. :)
Would still be some awesome features though! I'm all for it.

RE: [flexcoders] Please explain the Tree to me!!!!! Before I die waiting!
Instead of going through the index, you could iterate the selectedItems
and use e4x syntax to get the attribute you're looking for. selectedItem
and selectedItems are a direct link to the object in the dataprovider,
in this case XML objects:
private function onItemClick(event:ListEvent):void
{
trace(**);
for each (var item in tree1.selectedItems)
{
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] );
}
}
For your sample XMLListCollection, selecting a single item (in this
example the 1st) will yield:
**
1
And selecting all will yield:
**
76
3
1

Hi,
I have a tree filled with an XMLListCollection, all nodes are named
node.
The structure is like this:
node locationid='1'
node locationid='3'
node locationid='76'/
/node
/node
but on a much greater scale.
Now I have set the Tree component to allowMultipleSelection=true so
that the user can select multiple nodes, that works no problem. I have
also set an itemClick function to trigger when the user selects the
item or items. By doing this I can work out if one item is selected
or multiple:
if(Tree(event.target).selectedItem){
dosomethingforoneselection; //this works ok
}else if(Tree(event.target).selectedIndicies){
for(var i:int = 0;iTree(event.target).selectedIndicies.length;i++){
var h:int = int(Tree(event.target).selectedIndicies[i];
}
}
Ok, now I have the index of each item selected on the Tree, so how do
I get the locationid from the index?
Completely mind boggled!
Thanks ever so much if you can help!

You could manually update the TextInput fields' widths by capturing the

also be set on creationComplete to avoid this binding:

for (var i:int = 0; i DataGrid(event.target).columnCount; i++)

Subject: [flexcoders] Binding textinput width to datagrid column width?
I must be doing something dumb, but I can't understand why this isn't
working.
I have a datagrid with say, 2 columns. Under the datagrid, I have two
text input controls next to each other in an hbox.
I want the text input controls to match the width of the datagrid
columns directly above them. This means when the datagrid is drawn and
the column widths determined, the textinput controls should resize
themselves to match. This also should occur if the user resizes the
columns manually.
So, I assigned IDs to the datagridcolumn objects, and tried to bind
the width of the text input controls to them.
So first I tried
mx:TextInput width={colName.width}
and this didn't work.
So then I tried a bindproperty:
BindingUtils.bindProperty(txtiName,width,colName ,width);
and this didn't work either.
So then I used a bindsetter just for the purpose of setting a
breakpoint in the function to see if it was firing. It fires only on
init, and not when the columns are resized.
What am I doing wrong?

You could put a property on the model that the component can bind to, that way the command could just update the model after the delegate returns and databinding will take care of the rest for you.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Project Struture
That sounds like a good path to follow -- especially if you set up automated ANT builds for your flex library project, perhaps once or twice a day. That way, any apps consuming the library will always be referencing a current build. This could result in runtime errors for older projects though if you begin changing the interfaces for the components contained in the library. At that point you could try checking out the flex library project from the SVN, building, and then linking the flex library project to your main flex project. This should allow you to have a snapshot of the library that you know will work with the flex project at that point in time.

RE: [flexcoders] baselinePosition meaning?
The baselinePosition is basically the y position of the bottom of the first line of text in a text-displaying component. I find this property useful when drawing assets on screen at run time. The baselinePosition can also be interpreted as the line height for the block of text. For example, if displaying some sort of vector art next to a Text control at runtime, especially when using htmlText, you can size an image to the size of the first line of text when it is unknown at compile time. Useful for drawing bullet points or simple graphics in a quiz type application the consumes external content at runtime.

There should be no issues using a flex project with your given setup, but it may be worth noting that you may want to stay away from including any flex builder specific files in the SVN, as everyone has their own dev environment setup the way they like it as far as workspaces and such are concerned, and that leaves the project open to developers who may be using the sdk and command line to compile by reducing flex builder dependencies. Aside from that, I'd say it's good to keep all your view components and sealed classes for your model together (minimally), and any external or embedded assets in a separate folder defined as an additional source folder so they will still get copied to the bin when building.

RE: [flexcoders] baselinePosition meaning?
The baselinePosition and line heights in Flash are wrong, when compared to how it's handled by Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Ascent and descent are supposed to be used to calculate a proper baseline position, and Flash does not properly calculate ascent/descent metrics. I did an application for a card company and we had serious issues with the discrepancy between Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign when it came to proper rendering of text fields and line heights. The baseline position is measured differently between each of the applications (incorrectly in the case of Photoshop and Flash). In Flash, it's a major headache because the ascent and descent measurement from text metrics are wrong 90% of the time. Illustrator is the only app that renders the first baseline (using em size) correctly from a print standpoint. At least with Photoshop you can hack the file format to fix it. In general, be careful when you use any print-matching calculations with baselines or leading in Flash. Related ... Leading in Flash will only be correct on awkward point sizes. The leading is also not consistent from line-to-line if you try to manually override it (using some funky math to convert em size to flash's desired values). If you try to set a line height of, say, 40 points on 40 pt type, you actually get somthing like 46.8, which can't render because Flash can only do integer line heights. That's not considering that the line height Flash renders with the absolutely wrong value in the first place. All great information -- thanks Jon! This message is private and confidential.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Project Struture
Usually this is setup through the Project Properties. I add another top-level folder for anything the app needs to consume at runtime (like an etc folder) and perhaps another that the app needs to consume at compile time like embedded assets (like an includes folder -- it's up to you): Project Properties Flex Build Path Source Path Add Folder... To have files copied to the bin when building, don't forget to check: Project Properties Flex Compiler Copy non-embedded files to output folder Then you have the option of including these folders in SVN or leaving them local to the working copy... In my experience though, when another dev checks out the project, they have to set up these folder associations for their working copy in FB, so I might put a README.txt in the root of the project detailing the expected setup. This seems kinda clunky though -- if anyone knows what to do to persist these settings through the SVN, I'd love to know. I know ANT is always an option, but sometimes its nice to not have to muck with it.

I've tried various ways of setting up links etc and FB doesn't seem to like any of them.
