Re: [flexcoders] Steve Jobs on Flash .......
I am also not sure if it is true or false. But if you ask me if this kind of statement is possible by Jobs then the answer is definitely. Please take a look at the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upzKj-1HaKw On Sat, Feb 6, 2010 at 7:37 AM, Tim Romano tim.rom...@aimsdata.com wrote: If the rumors about Bing are true, then this panning could also have something to do with Silverlight.

So it's no surprise to hear Jobs called out Flash during Apple's Town Hall, but his language this time sounds a little over the top. Jobs reportedly called Adobe a lazy company, and said that when a Mac crashes it's usually because of Flash. Whether or not that's true, it's clear that Jobs is not a fan of Adobe's multimedia platform. The iPhone is routinely criticized for its inability to render Flash-based Web pages, videos and games, and early criticisms about the iPad also decry the lack of Flash compatibility on Apple's latest device.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: apply style in newly created component

My guess is that the setStyle functionality bypasses some of the controls in the life cycle logic of the chart, whereas styleName will just set a flag somewhere and the logic will just wait until the appropriate moment to apply the styles to the objects, which will have been instantiated at that point. MPO is that if you use styleName you should not need to add an event listener for initialized or creationcomplete. Be aware that neither of these events will fire until the component has already been added to the Canvas and the Canvas has been added to the display list. HTH; Amy

Re: [flexcoders] rotate button
Thanks Tracy. I have tried both ways and they work as long as you are not resizing the parent canvas. But my requirement is that the parent canvas needs to be resizable.

Re: [flexcoders] Line chart with no axes
I guess you are adding an additional axis. As you know if you do not define your axis and put an id for it. The chart will add the default axis.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adobe's stimulus package!!!! FREE FLEX BUILDER!!!!
Well you can use it to learn Flex. You can use it to create a prototype of an application. Once you are an expert of Flex by using this trial version you can create your whole application using it. But when you are building it for deployment compile it with free SDK and only deploy the one that is complied with free SDK. This way you are taking the full advantage of using the Flex builder to develop your app But when the app is totally ready compile it with free SDK and deploy it I guess this way you will not violate the licence terms but still be able to use the FB 3 to develop the app. :-))) On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 9:52 PM, stinasius stinas...@yahoo.com wrote: let me get this straight, does that mean that i cannot deploy an app developed with this version of flex and if the answer is yes, then what am i supposed to do with the flex 3 free version?

You can enable it for a subset of fills by returning true/false based on the fillParameters argument. Above, I've enabled it for all fills. Next, you'll want to implement the paged-fill variant of the fill method: @Override public Collection fill(List fillParameters, int startIndex, int numberOfRows) { System.out.println(paged fill called with: + startIndex + , + numberOfRows); ArrayListPerson people = new ArrayListPerson(); Connection c = null; c = getConnection(); Statement s = c.createStatement(); // use the startIndex and numItems parameters to limit the result set // returned by your data source.

I am using MySQL in this sample and the line of interest above is ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(SELECT * FROM people LIMIT + startIndex + , + numberOfRows);. Here I am using the startIndex and numberOfRows parameters to limit the result set fetched by MySQL thus extending paging all the way to the datasource. The exact syntax here will depend on your specific datasource. When you use paged-fill, LCDS can no longer determine the size of the fill collection from the result of the first fill request because it only returns the first page of your collection. So it is required that the count method is implemented when paged-fill is used. Here is my method: @Override public int count(List countParameters) { // when fill paging is enabled, this method will be called // after the first fill request comes in because the size of // the collection is no longer known from the result of that // initial fill request. However, in the cases where a count // query is almost as expensive as a full fill query, you may // avoid it and return -1. In this case the client's notion of // the size will be incremented with each page request causing // UI components such as the DataGrid to adjust with each page request boolean countQueryExpensive = false; int count = -1; if (!countQueryExpensive) { Connection c = null; c = getConnection(); Statement s = c.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(SELECT COUNT(*) count FROM people); rs.next(); count = rs.getInt(count); } System.out.println(count returning: + count); return count; } (again, error handling is not included above, I'll include a full version of the assembler at the bottom). Note the comment at the top of the implementation, if count is expensive you may return -1 and LCDS will adjust the collection size dynamically. At this point you should be ready to go. You can configure this destination in data-management-config.xml just as you would any other: adapters adapter-definition class=flex.data.adapters.JavaAdapter id=java-dao/adapter-definition /adapters destination adapter=java-dao id=PagingDestination properties sourcepaging.PagingAssembler/source scopeapplication/scope network paging enabled=true pageSize=5/paging /network metadata identity property=id/identity /metadata /properties /destination As you would expect, to use server-to-data-source paging, client-to-server paging must also be enabled. Note above that I've set my page size to 5. You can now hit access your destination with a simple client: mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute applicationComplete=myDS.fill(myCollection) mx:DataService id=myDS destination=PagingDestination/ mx:ArrayCollection id=myCollection/ mx:DataGrid id=myDG dataProvider={myCollection}/ /mx:Application In your server output you should initially see: paged fill called with: 0, 6 count returning: 25 (or count returning: -1, depending on whether your count is implemented or you are using

Re: [flexcoders] crossdomain where is the server root?
Thanks Tracy. For proxying I do need to use BladeDS right? I guess this is also better as I did read that in one of the article. This way you can hide the source of HTTPService url from those users who can reverse engineer your code.

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm ServiceLocator
Hey Christophe, is it possible that you create some video tutorial of Prana? I guess that way developers will be able to adopt it faster. Just my 2 cents!!!

Due to the fact that it uses describeType to discover the services that have been added to it, and it is not a dynamic class/ does not have any way to dynamically add services at runtime...it makes it in my view impossible to add say for example services that youve loaded in an initialization file at runtime. If an accessor method to add service at runtime was added I think it would make this class a lot more dynamic.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm ModelLocator array filter...
Thanks for the email Douglas. The problem is it works :) here!!! Actually when you told me to send some code I wrote this small code mainly to show how I connected the filter. I was expecting this sample code will not work either. But it works as you have seen. So I guess my concept is right, I must have made some mistake in my main code and that was why it was not working. I will find that. By the way Douglas, I am having hard time to keep track of all these different event, command, component, factory modules. Is there any way I can draw a visual diagram from which I can visually see which event it tied with which command .. etc?

I personally (and the other guys on my team) we like to keep the models with absolutely no logic at all. The beauty of the command pattern is that all the logic is kept in small, discrete classes, all nicely tucked into their appropriate packages. If we need to setup sorts and filters or whatever on the data on the model, we do it from the commands that set that data initially. If you do need to keep changing that filter from time to time, I would further abstract it into another event + command pair. Once we did a search like that. We had a package of commands for processing search that would be in charge of taking the query and use it to build the custom filters and sorts for the catalog data.

Re: [flexcoders] Hi, there. Nice to meet you. I made somthing with FLEX
Looks very Attractive. But I was not able to see and content inside, just saw the interface. I do not know why I am not getting any content. May be you did not put any. Everything is good but I will suggest that when you resize the middle panel please use effect instead jumping to the resize state. For some reason I find gradual resizing is more attractive compared to instant resizing. But no doubt you got good stuff there!!! Good luck.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: rss feed not working
thanks. Yes you are right, my code is more complicated. But since I am using Cairngorm, this is the way that I need to do it. In Cairngorm architecture you put all you HTTPServices in one file in mxml tags like: mx:HTTPService url = --/ mx:HTTPService url = --/ You instantiate and send the http request from another file where you also add and declare the fault and result handler. So When you send the HTTP request you will dynamically add the result and fault handler during run time. That is what I was trying to do I guess my main problem is I am not processing the resultEvent proporly On Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 1:32 PM, Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think you're making it more complicated then it needs to be.

If you are using LED characters for the clock display then how do you make the : between the hour and minute characters blink to indicate that a second has passed?

Re: [flexcoders] GOLD color for a bad chart
Thanks for the link. I guess in this page they are just using one yellow color which is closest to gold color. I have seen Ely's code where he used color combination which is more close to gold color. Here is the link: http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/ChartSampler/app.html please click the style folder and click the Fills- as you can see the columns looks very much like 3D gold bard but not exactly like GOLD. I am sure someone with very good idea about color can combine colors to make it exactly look like gold BARS... The color combination that Ely used for the above example is: mx:LinearGradient mx:GradientEntry color=#A6A602 ratio=0 / mx:GradientEntry color=#DFDF97 ratio=.2 / mx:GradientEntry color=#A6A602 ratio=.4 / mx:GradientEntry color=#F5F655 ratio=.8 / mx:GradientEntry color=#A6A602 ratio=1 / /mx:LinearGradient regards On Feb 9, 2008 9:29 PM, Sherif Abdou [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: look all the way down, it might help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_(colorhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_%28color ) - Original Message From: hworke [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 9, 2008 11:18:28 PM Subject: [flexcoders] GOLD color for a bad chart Hi, I am not a color specialist but trying to make the bars of my barchart look like GOLD bars, just metallic gold color.
