[flexcoders] Flex Architecture Question
I am struggling to get the Best Architecture. Can anyone suggest me some direction . Its a very simple Web App , which needs some data grid and filters on the page . Front End Flex This has to be used : EJB 3.0 , JPA Back End - Oracle . Having just worked with Struts and Beehive technologies I am used to having a Controller and My Flex Front End would talk to a controller . Now that if I dont have a Front End Controller(Struts Action) , if do have user input page how can i pass values to the EJB 3.0 from flex . Some other Questions 1. I am not sure how to do basic Session Handling of the App directly on the Flex Page . 2. Load App Related Properties : Here even , if I have an initialize Servlet and Load all app properties into my Stateful Session Bean inside my Servlet . How to access the bean directly from inside Flex and change the properties of Stateful Session bean 3. User Input Page values : How to pass them back and Forth

Oh, forgot to add the code for a cell clicked event:
myDataGrid.addEvent Listener( ListEvent. ITEM_CLICK, cellClicked) ;
private function cellClicked( event:ListEvent) :void
{
if(event.columnInde x == 0) // Or whatever column you want
{

If you're creating the column in AS, you'll need to use ClassFactory for the
itemRenderer:
var urlItemRenderer: ClassFactory = new ClassFactory( com.myPath. urlRenderer) ;
urlItemRenderer. properties = { myItemRendererPubli cProperty: myProperty };
myColumnID.itemRend erer = urlItemRenderer;

Back in older versions of Flash the only way to communicate between the browser and the ActiveX was to use things like setVariable then inside Flash you would have a watch expression that watched for changes to that variable, and reacted. The variable value could only be a string (I think). Back then we would change the value of the variable from outside, have Flash react to the change, reset the value of the variable to its "non-set" state. Assuming this would still work, when the .NET application regained focus you would tell the ActiveX instance to setVariable( "focusReceived" , "true"); and in Flash it would see that, reset the listeners. One word of warning, if your resetting your listeners constantly, are you doing anything to remove the old listeners first - if not that may well be the source of your memory leak. I used the setVariable method in VB with the old Flash active x controls a number of years ago and it worked flawlessly, you just have to set it up right to begin with and it was obviously "messier" then the ExternalInterface method.

In my case menu items are pulled from a database and put into custom objects
that are returned to Flex. Each custom object has a label field and a link
field (Amongst others). When the result is returned I put all these objects
into an arrayCollection. ..
menuBarCollection = new ArrayCollection( ArrayUtil. toArray(event. result));
The menuBar is created with this arrayCollection and an itemClick handler is
set...
The itemClick handler is...
private function menuHandler( event:MenuEvent) :void
{
var currentMenuItem: MenuItem = event.item as MenuItem;
navigateToURL( new URLRequest(currentMenuItem.Link), '_self');
}

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex Menu Basic Question
Menu is more generic(flexible) than that.
Its only function is to display the options to the user and respond to their
gesture. You have the ability to act on the users choice however you
choose.
So your issue is more basic than
that. You need to think about and decide on your applications
architecture. Look in the developers guide under the sections dealing
with designing applications.
It will not serve you well to continue
thinking in terms of “pages” when developing in Flex. “Page”
is a term from html development (like Yahoo) and Flex application architecture
is very different.
Typically you begin with a navigation
component. Popular ones are TabNavigator, Tree, and ViewStack. ViewStack
is particularly useful with a menu. You have your click handler set the
ViewStack.selectedI ndex
according to some value in the menu data item. Setting a ViewStack index
causes the “view” (kinda like a “page”) at that index
to be displayed.
So before you build your navigation
interface(like menu), you at least need to identify your navigation
architecture.

So you question has nothing to do with menu, is that correct?
What exactly do you mean by “redirect to
test.swf”? What is you application architecture? Is test.swf
an application, a component, a module, or what?

Menu Basic Question
On your menu, specify a handler for the itemClick event. That
event will have a reference to the item clicked, fro mwhich you can determine
what action to take. I typically include a “command” or
“action” or “index” attribute in the menu data, then
get that value in the handler, and use a switch() statement to define the
processing.
A side note, the top-level menu items do no
Re: [flexcoders] Flex Menu Basic Question
Thanks That was useful . I did realize I had to use View Stack . But the
problem in using View Stack was , (maybe again its my lack of knowledge )
Can I be able to have Children for View Stack . if so how .
In Example this ok .
But Can Home View have Childern say . HomeView 2 under Home View ?

Menu is more generic(flexible) than that.
Its only function is to display the options to the user and respond to their
gesture. You have the ability to act on the users choice however you
choose.
So your issue is more basic than
that. You need to think about and decide on your applications
architecture. Look in the developers guide under the sections dealing
with designing applications.
It will not serve you well to continue
thinking in terms of “pages” when developing in Flex. “Page”
is a term from html development (like Yahoo) and Flex application architecture
is very different.
Typically you begin with a navigation
component. Popular ones are TabNavigator, Tree, and ViewStack. ViewStack
is particularly useful with a menu. You have your click handler set the
ViewStack.selectedI ndex
according to some value in the menu data item. Setting a ViewStack index
causes the “view” (kinda like a “page”) at that index
to be displayed.
So before you build your navigation
interface(like menu), you at least need to identify your navigation
architecture.

Maybe I am confusing you . This is what is my understanding of Menu .
In genral we builld Menus and Their Childern we want users to be taken
to the page on which the item is clicked . it similar to View Stack (in terms
of Flex)
Say Suppose I have Menu
Menu1 - When User Clicks on Menu I want the user to be taken to a
diiferent page for which Menu 1 is linked to .
Menu2 -Similarly on Menu 2 .
I am not even sure this is possible in Flex .
