[flexcoders] Drawing a Grid
Does anyway happen to know the best way to draw a grid inside of Sprite that uses the least amount of mem/processing? I have a sprite that can be up to 40,000 pixels wides by 40,000 pixels high and I need to draw a grid in the background of the sprite, similar to Visio. The issue is when I just try drawing the lines in the sprite it takes up a huge amount of memory. I was wondering if maybe I only draw the lines 2x the width and height of the screen and then if the user scrolls the swf then redraw the lines based on position? Anyone ever tried this or have any suggestions or examples?
[flexcoders] Re: Text stuck on screen BUG in FP10 or IE7????
Alex, wanted to update you that the issue is with FP10. I tried the bitmap snapshot of the swf and it did not show the ghosting/artifacts and I test the app on several machines and several browsers on those machines and we the ghosting was still there. Ghosting has started to hit other areas of my app almost making it unusable, keep in mind it is a pretty mem/processor intensive app. I uninstalled FP10 and installed FP10.1 beta 2 and the ghosting is gone and the app now performs anywhere from 25% to 50% better.

[flexcoders] Can a canvas be scrollable without the scrollbars?
Anyone know of a way to set the horizontalScrollPolicy and verticalScrollPolicy both to false so that the scrollbars don't show, but still have the canvas scroll? I have content that inside the canvas that will always be larger than the canvas so I want to be able to scroll without showing any scrollbars. This is like the little zoom panel/control in the bottom right-hand corner of Google maps. thx, j
[flexcoders] CPU Freezing up! Any Tips???
So I have a Flex 4 app that is very processor intensive around 1000 objects each with their own embedded swf's coupled with drawing api and can't use cacheAsBitmap as things are moving and morphing. Anyway, I had a couple of ideas but didn't know if they would help much or make things worse. #1. Would it make a difference to set StageQuality = LOW when things are moving and the set StageQuality = HIGH when things stop moving/transition? #2. The other idea is that about 500 of the 1000 items on the stage are not shown all the time (user has zoomed in; think Google Maps), so would it help out to remove the embedded swf's, on the 500 of the visible stage area, and then re-embed when they are visible on stage? If so I was thinking adding an eventlistener to each of the 1000 items to recognize when off stage or have some control that recognizes the zoom or drag and then starts embedding the swf's in the 1000 items if they are with in the viewable stage are. But then I think wouldn't this make things worse since items would be embedded and re-embedded over and over? Or would it make things better as leaving them embedded and redrawing them when dragged or transitioned on every frame exit? Probably lost you. TIA, Jason

[flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back
This is what I have assuming I use the lib directory structure and not my app

[RemoteClass(alias=flare.vis.data.DataList)]
public class DataList extends Proxy implements IEventDispatcher
The actual directory structure is(notice src):
[RemoteClass(alias=src.flare.vis.data.DataList)]
public class DataList extends Proxy implements IEventDispatcher
This didn't work. I tried going in and creating getters and setters for all
protected and private properties which got some of the data back, but not all
of it.

So I am using

Blah comes back with two Objects but not someObjectOfTypeObject they come

Anyone have a clue on this? someObjectOfTypeObject and
someOtherObjectOfTypeObject are of a special type of Class in my app so
someOtherObjectOfTypeObject:FooClass.
Why doesn't it put them back as the correct type?

Alex, what else can I try? I have tried implementing IExternalizable in every
class and it doesn't seem to work, I think I might be close as one class is
causing me issue Datalist. When I implement IExternalizable and flex starts
decoding the bytearray it throws an error on Datalist constructor. It
expecting one arguement in the constructor Datalist(name:String) and I guess
Flex isn't passing it the arguement.

I don't think so. Its just that it isn't just a generic simple Object or Array
but rather a large Class file which contains other large class files.
So imagine saving something like your entire displaylist, but not the visual
just the data behind it.
The object I am saving cotains over 100 over objects and these 100 objects
contains a handful of objects.

[flexcoders] Scaling issues.
I am using a library that has a built in scaling so you create an object from the library and when you scale everything in the object will scale. Think Google maps. So the issue I am having is that I am using a TransformTool Senocular's that is. So when a transform tool is in side the framework object it gets scaled as well ending up with a giant transformtool. How can I keep the Transformtool from scaling? Or counter it. Something like transformtool.scaleX = 1 - frameworkObject.scaleX; transformtool.scaleY = 1 - frameworkObject.scaleY; Thanks, J
[flexcoders] Question for Math guys/girls
I have a line which can be horizontal or diagnol, and the user can make it longer or short by dragging an end. If the user should click anywhere on the line I need to keep track of this and place a marker or callout over this clicked spot on the line at all times. So if the user clicks say 1/4, say 100 pixels from the bottom of the line) the way down from the top left of a diagonal line I need to put a marker there. Then if the user drags the line to make it twice as long I still need that marker to be in the same spot. How would I do this math wise? And no I don't want it to be a percentage of the length of the line. Meaning I always want the spot to be 100 pixels from bottom of the line. TIA, J
[flexcoders] Re: Question for Math guys/girls
Good points. I guess it would need to be percentage based as I didn't think about them shrinking the line past the point, duh. Yes the length and angle of the line can change at any time. Also I am not placing a marker in the same mc or sprite, but rather a popup on the mainstage needs to hover over that point on the line. J --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Charles Parcell pokemonkil...@... wrote: Does the angle of the line ever change? Or is it always 45 or 0? If the angle changes then the X coordinate will change for any points on the line. I hope that you are not scaling a MC to grow/shrink the line.

You save the x,y coordinates of the marker, as the line gets bigger or smaller you replace the markers that fit on the line from the array's x,y coordinates... Add an click event listener to your container with the line, then create a function to add the x,y coordinates to an array. Without a code example I can only guess what you are trying to accomplish. You can create a timer to refresh your container with the markers from the array, or generate another event when the line changes length, or you add another marker. Do you have any code to share?

[flexcoders] Re: Drawing a line that follows the mouse.
Ok, so I think the issue is that the Sprite I am drawing in canvas is inside
its parent (vis.marks), which has another 100 sprites. Each of the 100 sprites
has a function in library I am using that says on mouseover bring the sprite to
the top of the display list. I think this is overtaking my mouse position thus
the mouse events get lost or hijacked or something.
So I tried taking canvas out of vis.marks layer and making it a child of vis
where marks is located but one level up, so on top of marks.
This still didn't fix the issue. The only to way to fix it is to put all this
on the main stage (aka Application.application). I would prefer not to put this
on the stage unless I have to. Does any one else have any suggestions?

[flexcoders] Re: 2 strange issues for begginer in action script ref
You need to import the Button so
import mx.controls.Button
But I think your main issue is that you can't create a Sprite component and put
mx components inside of it. You need to use UIComponent as your base instead
of Sprite. I believe you can go lower down the inheritance chain to FlexSprite
(don't quote me on the name I don't have my Flex posters in front of me). But
even if you use FlexSprite you have to implement a lot of Classes and write a
lot of functions (override possibly) to make FlexSprite work so its just best
to go with UIComponent.

Which button is the more simple button to use?
I found the spark components button is the component that Flash Builder uses
if you write in mxml language. So I add the folder to my project's libraries
paths, in precise I added as SWC folder the follow folder:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Builder
Beta\sdks\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\flex4\src\spark\components\
Here is the (very simple) code (with compiler's errors):
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import spark.components.Button; // - compile time error: 1172:
Definition spark.components:Button could not be found.
public class ASProjectInFB4 extends Sprite
{
public function ASProjectInFB4()
{
var ab : Button = new Button(); // - compile time error: 1046: Type
was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Button.
ab.x=10;
ab.y=10;
ab.width=200;
ab.height=100;
ab.enabled=true;
addChild(ab);
}
}
}
The problem (as you see) are the two compiler errors. Now. if get the cursor
on Button text in my code and I press the F3 the Flash Builder transfers
me to the declaration of Button class in the proper Button.as file! So I
suppose that my definition in my preceding code is correct. If I remove the
the SWC folder from the libraries of my project, the F3 buttons doesn't
transfer me anywhere, so the SWC folder definition is working too.
What is wrong?

Thanks, Alex. The issue was setting width and height so my override measure
was never getting called. And I had a couple of component referencing/bound
{this.width} and {this.height} caused some kind of infinite loop or something?
Set all to minWidth and minHeight all works now.

Is there a way to get a Sprite class to resize? I am using the com.senocular.display.TransformTool. The issue is if I have the tool on/over a ballsprite, and while on the ballsprite I change the size of the ballsprite the transform doesn't change to match the new size of the ballsprite. Or if I click a ballsprite, it should put the TransformTool on the ballsprite, which works fine.

Vis width and height are 3000 x 900 so they extend off screen. I am using the
scrollRect to limit what is viewable. But in order build my pancontrol I need
to find the diff between the X Y of the scrollRect in relation to the XY of
the Vis. So how far off left, right, bottom, and top of the visible area does
Vis extend. I need those numbers in pixels.

[flexcoders] Re: Creating Resize Handles
I should have done a debug and walked in through, but my issue has to do
something with the creation of the tool and when its created in the marks
layer of Flare.
I had to do the following:
tool = new TransformTool();
tool.moveEnabled = false;
tool.skewEnabled = false;
tool.registrationEnabled = false;
tool.constrainScale = true;
tool.maxScaleX = 2;
tool.maxScaleY = 2;
//tool.scaleWithRegistration = scale_registration.selected;
_vis.marks.addChild(tool);
tool.x = _targ.x;
tool.y = _targ.y;
tool.target = _targ;
My issue before was I was assigning the target of the tool then doing addChild.
Which even though I had a reference to targ to pass in I guess it makes sense
that the tool needs to be added the marks layer before assigning a target so as
to understand its boundaries and what not.
So problem solved. Thanks for your help, though.

I don't want to match just a word though. So in my app I have two standard objects that the user can use, which are named Big and Small. The user can open Big make some changes to it then if they want to save those changes I don't want them saving it as Big or Small, but they can save it as Big2 or new_Small. So if the user types in Big and tries to save it I want to catch this in validation and then use the regexvalidator to color the textinput border red. So if I just do a /Big/ or /Small/ then the user can't save it as Big2 because the regex will see the Big part in Big2 and warn them you can't save it with this name. But Big2 is valid not as it isn't just plain Big TIA,J

[flexcoders] BitmapData and Matrix: teach a man to fish (aka matrix).
Apparently I don't quite get how to use a matrix yet. I thought I did.
So I have on stage of my Flex project a custom object that is 10,000 px wide by
6,000 px tall. I need to be able to print this so what I have done or tried to
do is cut up the custom object into chunks of bitmapdata 1000px by 1000px, via
a matrix object, that I then send to a pdf generator (alivepdf). All is fine,
but one minor issue that I had to hack my way around.
So as you will see in the code, I pass an displayobject and get its
measurements, which then I find out how many snapshots it will take to capture
the entire displayobject. I couldn't get this to work so what I had to do is
put in this little hack. Specifically the + 2.5 and the + 15.5 to add on
additional 2.5 pages to the height and 15.5 extra pages to width to be sure I
capture the entire displayObject passed in. If I don't then I don't end up
getting all of it, usually the lower right corner of the displayobject gets
cutoff in my bitmapdata/matrix capture function below.

So I am trying to cut a DisplayObject (DO) into bitmapdata chunks that are roughly 1000 by 1000 pixels. When I get the initial bounds of the DO I they are x=-396, y0, w=1110, h=1633. I think the x of -396 is throwing me off. Plus, I feel like I am fighting myself on the Matrix vs. Rectangle in the hugeBmp.draw(DO, mtrx, null, null, rec, false ); If I do this mtrx.translate( initRecX, initRecY ); all is fine it works. (the above is moving the DO to x=0 and y=0 when it grabs the bitmapdata). But I also need to scale via mtrx.scale( .5, .5), which is where things stop working. I need to slide over via translate then scale down the section of DO I am trying to grab a snapshot of. Any ideas or examples out there? J
[flexcoders] BitmapData and bytearray: find white area?
So, I have an app that creates a very large drawing of Sprites and randomly places them in a DisplayObject (mainHolder) on stage. I am trying to create a print option that will print the mainHolder by breaking it up into chunks of 1000 by 1000 pixels per page. I am able to do this and then put it into a multi-page PDF. THE PROBLEM: The issue is because the DisplayObject is larger than the area taken by Sprites I end up with blank white pages (4 extra pages of nothing). Is there a way to create a mask or something and then compare the mask to the bitmapdata underneath to see if any pixel data is any color but white? Or go over the entire page to see if any pixels are colored, pixel by pixel and if not then throw the page out? Jason
[flexcoders] Combobox emtpy inside of tabNavigator
So I have a tabNavigator with 3 tabs. I have set creationPolicy =all so that to the user it displays quickly. The issue that I have a combobox on tab#3 of the tabNav. and when I set creation=all and tab#3 is selected the combobox is empty. If set the creationpolicy=auto the data shows up in the combobox. I assume that what is happening is that tab#3 is getting created imeediately before the data arrives. FYI the data is requested the minute the entire tab is shown, which when creation is complete always shows tab #1. Thus I think the vbox and its children are getting created without the data. So I assume some how I need to invalideSize and invalidateProps on the combobox when tab#3 is clicked so it will pull in the data? TIA, J

[flexcoders] Modules and Memory usage.
So I have built a fairly large application that is an extreme memory usage due
to the graphics it contains (large quantity and high res).
Right now the app has a single view, but allows the user to switch between two
views. When the user switches views I wipe out the contents of the first view
(remove most of the items from memory, but a a few still hang around an wait
for the GC to remove them).
I am thinking about making the app be document based, so several views up at
the same time in a tab navigator.
My question is, if I use modules for each document view will the document views
not current displayed, not on the selected tab of a tab navigator use any
memory or any of the cpu if they are not being displayed and if nothing is
happening while they are not displayed?
Or would it be better to stick with the single document view I have now?
Also, somewhat related. I learned OOP via Adobe Flash Actionscript and have
recently started learning Obj-C for iPhone development. They say its best
practice to delete all your vars of object instance from within your functions
to remove them instead of letting GC remove them.
So something like this in AS3:
public function myASFunction() : void
{
private var house:Object;
private var str:String;
public var txt:TextField;
...do something with the above vars...
house = null;
str = null;
txt = null;
}
Not sure if this is the correct way to remove the vars, but the idea is clean
up after yourself in each function so the GC doesn't have to do it and then
that frees up the GC to handle the really important stuff?

[flexcoders] Re: httpservice error #2032
Not sure if it matters but my app is a rails app and I am doing a POST with the httpservice. I am not returning anything after the call would that appear as a fault to my httpservice? Should I send something back?

[flexcoders] Re: httpservice error #2032
Not sure what the issue is but if I try POST it always goes across as as a GET. So I went with GET and I return 'true' as render :xml and it comes back with a good result. And I stuck with the relative URL and it works like a champ now. Thanks for everyones help. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tracy Spratt tr...@... wrote: I would suspect the URL as well.
