Subject: [flexcoders] Trademark Symbol
Hi yo all,
I am new to the Flex crusade (cf over sql background), so here goes
with
my first question.
How do I get the proper trademark (TM) symbol in Flex?
For example:
mx:Panel title=My ApplicationTM/mx:Panel
Using anything like:
mx:Panel title=My Applicationtrade;/mx:Panel
OR
mx:Panel title=My Application#8482/mx:Panel
Doesn't work, and besides this is this not the world of html anymore
:-)
The closest I have come is using escape (unicode) characters. For
example:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
function myTitle()
{
var myTitle:String;
myTitle=My Application\u00ae;
return myTitle;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Panel title={myTitle}/mx:Panel
But \u00ae is the registered trademark (R) symbol not (TM). I realize
that the TM symbol is not part of the ISO 8859-1 character set
supported
by the flash player.
Is there anyway to get the trademark symbol in flash? IE Unicode
characters higher than 256.
Many thanks in advance,
Malcolm

Re: [flexcoders] Need help with protecting FLVs
Okay, this is just a random idea and I can't offer code snippets because I haven't successfully pulled it off. I have however thought about this very issue the last couple weeks for one of my own projects. My idea was to put the FLVs in a directory with a .htaccess file that passes all requests through to a script. The script checks to see if the referrer is the flash movie that should be calling them then does a redirect to the file. It's a bit processor intensive as the script has to pipe the file through itself. Also, if someone really wants the files they can just spoof the referrer. Just my $0.02, hope it leads to something. Seth / Jeff Steiner wrote: Nutshell: I am working with a handful of FLVs for a tech demo that I am creating and want to prevent them from being downloaded. Does anyone have a good idea about how I can go about doing this? Longer version: I have encoded FLVs sitting in a web directory (because contentPath requires a location string), but that also means that a user can type in the name of the file and download the FLV directly (I get the download box when I type out the name of the FLV). I tried putting the files on a web server inside the firewall, thinking that the Flex server would somehow magically act as a proxy just for the Flex application. Worked fine as long as I was sitting inside the firewall ;) Any ideas would be great! Thanks, Jeff http://www.flexauthority.com Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Application flow best practices?
Kent,
The view member variable is passed in from the calling MXML file as a
parameter of the tag. In the case of IndexViewHelper you might call it as
as:IndexViewHelper name=indexView view={ this } /
assuming your name space for that tag is 'as'.

Now, this has been real handy for most stuff because all events passed only had one destination. Unfortunately, now my app is getting a bit more complicated and it has multiple things that need to know when something happens. The first solution to this was a Login Handler (which I'm going to release at some point... probably when I get the free time to package it up and document it properly.) which allows any class to register itself (either with calls to the static class or through a LoginHelper which is simply an MXML wrapper for those calls) and when the login managers triggerLogin function is called, it executes the loginTriggered function in all registered classes. The same goes for triggerLogout and logoutTriggered respectively. So, to recap. I need a better event handler. I want to register classes with a master event manager which calls back to all classes when any class triggers the specified event. Is this already in existence? Is it already in Cairngorm? If not...

Cairngorm maps a single command to a single event. It doesn't prescribe much about what to do when the event is done, but provides ViewLocator to find the views you might need to update. I think you're possibly looking to formalize a listener list to broadcast to for the onResult element of your command class. You could expose logic in the front controller to allow views and other classes to listen for command completion by command name, and then create a base command class, which contains the listen/broadcast functionality, to derive your commands from. I guess you could also include a broadcast for the execute, to allow for pre-execution logic.

I'm wondering if there is a way (and if there is, how would I go about doing it) I can create a change event for a custom MXML class based for a public property.
For example, I have an MXML file called MyClass and when the parent application changes myProperty (i.e MyClass.myProperty=5), I want my custom class to respond by calling the private function myProperty_Changed():

Re: [flexcoders] FlashComm video
Matt,
Yeah, I actually poked around that example too. Google didn't find it this time, but it was in the random assortment of Flex code on my desktop. The problem I found was 1) I had no idea what the class that extended MediaDisplay was doing and 2) It seemed like it was first publishing the webcam to the FCS server, then subscribing to it. Wouldn't that eat bandwidth that could be better spent on another user and I can connect to my camera locally.
Thank you for the quick reply though! The last two messages reaffirm why I've fallen in love with Flex. Great product and an even greater community.

Re: [flexcoders] Mare on inverted tabs
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Dirk,
That's basically what the tab skin looked like before I started
modifying it. What I'm trying to do is force a single instance of a
TabBar to have a different skin. According to the docs this is not
possible, but I figured what I'd ho instead is create a new class
(InvertedTabBar) which extends TabBar and try to create a skin for this
new class.
Is there a better way to do that?
Thanks,

Subject: [flexcoders] Mare on inverted tabs
Ladies and Gents,
So I've just picked up the inverted (upside down) tabs thing again and
began doing inspections of the TabBar object for possible leads. The
best I could find is a variable (probably private) called tabSkin which
was set to mx.skins.TabSkin. I created a new MXML file called
InvertedTabSkin.mxml and basically just made it a wrapper for mx:TabBar
with nothing but a script tag inside with the following code:
import InvertedTabSkin;
function doInit ( ) {
this.tabSkin = InvertedTabSkin;
}
The doInit() function is triggered by the initialize event in the root
element.
When I set this variable something happens to the TabBar created with
the InvertedTabBar class... all I get is the text of the tab and none
of
the skin. The skin file, InvertedTabSkin.as has a few modifications
from
a version that worked on all TabBars:
class InvertedTabSkin extends RectBorder {
static var symbolOwner:Object = InvertedTabSkin;
...
instead of
class InvertedTabSkin extends RectBorder {
static var symbolName:String = mx.skins.TabSkin;
...
and
static function classConstruct():Boolean
_global.skinRegistry[InvertedTabSkin] = true;
...
instead of
static function classConstruct():Boolean {
_global.skinRegistry[mx.skins.TabSkin] = true;
...
Any ideas on where to go from here, or am I on a completely wrong
track?
Thanks,
Seth

Re: [flexcoders] Menu events and panel status [was: Attempting to add a button to Panel titlebar]
I got it!
I was using a function named menuHandler() in menu change event handler in both the class extending panel and the instance of it in my test file. As soon as I changed the class functions name it worked, but the instance one didn't. Upon changing that one everything began working. I'm assuming that menuHandler is a reserved name or is in use in the backend somewhere.
Either way, that was all it needed. Thanks for the suggestions though, they got me trying different things which lead to this.
As far as the status went, I did make my own. Getter and setter functions for status and the following code in createChildren()
var status_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat ( );
status_fmt.font = Verdana;
status_fmt.size = 10;
this.createTextField ( status_tb, 20204, 0, 0, 100, 12 );
status_tb.autoSize = left;
status_tb.setNewTextFormat ( status_fmt );

To heck with status, make your own, or overwrrite the mug:

return _status;

public function set status(val:String):Void
{
if(val == null)
val = ;
_status = val;

Then, put a Label in your ControlBar instead of up top. Or, you could use a setStatus method instead:
function setStatus(str:String):Void
{
status_lbl.text = str;
}
As for capturing the exact label that the Panel has up top, sorry, don't know his instance name, and if you couldnt' find it with a for loop (assuming that's what the object inspector does) doubt I'll find him either.

Thanks, Jesse, Coenraet's article was exactly what I needed.
Okay, two more questions now that I have a couple buttons in the panel:
1) One of the buttons spawns a menu like so:
function handleMenuButton ( event ) {

winMenu.addEventListener ( change, Delegate.create ( this, menuHandler ));
var pos = getGlobalPosition ( event.target );
winMenu.show ( pos.x + event.target.width, pos.y );
}
}
and debug code tells me it's executing addEventListener() without warnings, however menuHandler() is never getting called. Any ideas?
2) I just found the status text feature in the panel and have a bunch of uses flowing through my mind for it... the problem is the buttons sit right on top of it. I'd like to be able to have my new panel extending class to intercept whatever creates that text object and move it to the left out of the way of each button. I tried using the Coenraet's object inspecting class to view everything attached to the panel hoping to find it and only came across the variables themselves ( _status : String and _statusChanged : Boolean ). No movieclips. Again, I'm lost here. Any ideas?
