[flexcoders] A must see new Application in Flex - Free Digital Signage powered Adobe's Flex

2008-10-15 Thread helihobby
I am happy to announce that after 2 years of intense development we
have finally released our Free Digital Signage Flex beta web application.

You can check it out at:

http://www.MediaSignage.com

The application is powered by over 50 SWF modules and we have put
extensive planning and design into the overall architecture of this
web application.

We had to re-write some of Adobe's code to fix bugs they have in order
to make sure that AIR Player is completely memory leak free and can
run for long periods.

We have also used many class services such as a state manager, event
manager, db manager and more.

Digital Signage are Monitors which are installed in public areas.

With our software you can use the Signage Studio backend powered by
Flex to configure your Signage presentation.

You can view your presentation using the Signage WEB Player.

For dedicated Signage Players we recommend that you use our desktop
installed AIR
Player which includes Caching engine, tuner card support and remote
management.


We will also have a reseller program soon that you can sell Digital
Signage and get 50% from the account's total recurring charge.


Please give us some feedback and if you know someone that can benefit
from Digital Signage ( retail store, dentist office etc ... ) please
let them know ( its free for the first AIR Player license )

Sean - MediaSignage.com




[flexcoders] Need Help !!! Security box error loading SWF Animation due to new Flash Security

2008-09-02 Thread helihobby
Please anyone...

I am pulling my hair our for 3 days and REALLY could use some help ...

We have a flex application which loads Flash CS3 animation.

We can load the animation and view the animation problem.
However if we try to talk to the loaded swf ( loader.content ) which 
is by the way is downloading from a different domain than our main 
application, we get the famous Security Box error.

We have tried putting the crossdomain files in both locations ( where 
our main swf is download as well as where we are downloading the 
animation swf from ) ... with no help ...

I have read the new security updates at:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security.htm
l

My question is this..

In order for us to talk to a loaded swf ( Flash CS3 swf ) that 
downloaded from a different domain than our application, do we need 
to use a XML Socket Server ( the new server the link is talking 
about ) or loading the crossdomains.xml should be enough ( which is 
not working for the life of me ) ?

Thanks for the time,

Sean.

You can download the two swf animations...

Good.swf is good and can be unload

2008-08-29 Thread helihobby

Just wanted to add the Unload button x= is very high so change to 
x=0  so you can see it ...

Also, when you click unload it WILL seem that the swf unloaded but if 
you turn on your speakers you will still hear the sound playing AND 
if you check memory you will see that the swf never released.


Thanks again,

[flexcoders] How can I stop/kill a running SWF which was loaded with SWFLoader ?

2008-04-03 Thread helihobby
Hi All,

I have a swf which I loaded via SWFLoader.
It runs fine however how can I kill it.

I dont have the source FLA so I cant add actionscript inside the SWF.
I must kill it from the outside.

when I set the swfLoad.load(null) or swfLoad = null or even
swfLoad.source = null after it has been running for a few seconds I
can still hear the SWF sound playing in the backgound ...

It just won't die 

:(

Is there anyway to terminate the running loaded swf ?

Regards,

Sean.

[flexcoders] Please Help. Pulling hair with TileList and FilterFunction

2008-03-14 Thread helihobby

Hello and thanks for reading this !!!

I am using a TileList with a FilterFunction on the dataprovider which
is an XMLListCollection.


  mx:TileList id=productTiles dragEnabled=true
dragMoveEnabled=false  
height=100% width=100%  useRollOver=false
fontStyle=normal 
columnCount={m_columCount} rowCount={m_rowCount}
selectionColor=WHITE
direction=horizontal  borderThickness=0
itemRenderer=ProductRenderer
dataProvider={m_products} 
allowMultipleSelection=false
/  


And my Filter Function is:

private function searchDemo(item:Object):Boolean{

   var src:String = filterText.text;
   var dst:String = XML(item).toXMLString();
   
   var isMatch:Boolean = false
   
   if(dst.toLocaleLowerCase().search(src.toLowerCase()) !=
-1){
   isMatch = true
   }   
   return isMatch;   
   }


The problem is when I type text in a Text Entry Box the TileList
shrinks to show the matched string ( which is good )

HOWEVER, When I start dragging a Tile Item the faded Icon is of the
wrong image as if the TileList did not fully update the XMLList
collection or something.

Is there something I need to do in order to tell my TileList the the
data provider ( XMLListCollection ) is filtered ?

I do execute the refresh() on my FilterFunction and all seem ok only
that when starting to drag items from the filtered TileList does not
work correctly ...

Please Help...

Thanks again,

Sean.




[flexcoders] How can I save XML path deep inside my XML data ?

2008-01-31 Thread helihobby
Hello,

I have a very large XML.

I have a function which reads the XML and finds something that I am
looking for ( lets say data123 )

Once I find it I wish to save the absolute path to it ...
Is that possible ?

For example:

I wish to save:

myXml.books[0].book.covers.cover[2].items[2].data123

However I can not build the above statement since the XML is dynamic.
I wish for the function to return the absolute path of the item after
I find it ...

Thanks in advance,

Sean.








[flexcoders] Re: How can I save XML path deep inside my XML data ?

2008-01-31 Thread helihobby
I mean, I would like to be able to get the same exact location in the
XML path every time I run my for loop and stop on some condition.

For example some sort of function that returns:

myXml.books[0].book.covers.cover[2].items[2].data123

if data123 is the value in my For Loop that I break on ( match on ) on
the XML in question.

Hope this helps,

Sean.

 couple of things:
 
 1) Buttons are not movie clips, they are sprites and don't have a
 timeline, so you have to create a movie clip and add your text to it.
 2) You have to add the clips to the application's stage, not the
 application itself.
 
 if you hack around a little you should be able to get it to work.  If
 you are really stuck I'll post my mods.
 
 The effect is a bit underwhelming...

[flexcoders] How come setStyle(width,100%) does not change container back to 100% ?

2007-12-13 Thread helihobby
Hello,

This is something that has been beugging me for a long time ( ever
since Flex Beta 2 Beta ).

When I set a container ( lets say VBox ) to 100% width using MXML
inline than all is great.

mx:VBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=100%
height=100% creationComplete=init()


If you set it using the setStyle(width,100%) in ActionScript 3
however:

this.setStyle(width,100%);

its as if the set style does not take effect...
My VBox remains the fixed width as it was when I original created it ...


:(


Is this a BUG ?

Am I missing something here ?
Do we need to use StyleManager to refresh or something ...
Tried to google this with no luck !!!

Thanks in advance,

Sean.

 Hello,
 
 I need to get the instance of my programmatic skin.
 I see my instance in the debugger when I break point and it lives in:
 
 this.border
 
 However when I try to access it via ActionScript I get an error that
 this property / instance does not exist.
 
 How come the debugger can see it and I can't access it.
 
 I know that this.border is in fact pointing to the memory location of
 my instance ,,, but how do I get a reference to it ?
 
 If the debugger showes it .. should'nt I have access to it as well via
 this.border ?
 
 So.. How do I get access to my programmatic skin ?
 
 Thank you all,

[flexcoders] Re: this,border exists in debug but not in my class ? How do I access my prog sk

2007-12-12 Thread helihobby
Sure.

I have a programmable skin which I enable using actionscript as in:

this.setStyle(borderSkin,com.classes.TileBackground);

Later on I want to access the instance of my newly created skin

getStyle does not do the trick as it return null.

this.border in the same class I executed the above line does point to
the correct instance of TileBackground ( when I view it in debugger
) but I can't access it in the instance it lives in ...



So I can access it ?

Hope this helps ...

Sean.

Hello all,
I've been playing with this all day and can't figure it out ..
I have a dragable sprite.

I am trying to convert its X Y coords to global coords.

My Sprite is _box;

I do:

var boxPoint:Point = new Point(_box.x,_box.y);
var boxPointLocToGlob:Point = _box.localToGlobal(boxPoint);

But when I trace _boxPointLocToGlob I get strange negative values...
How can I be getting negatives when I am asking for Global coords and
I am working at the center of the stage ?

 You can save SWFs for sure, and while it might be possible to pull
 down an FLV into a ByteArray you would have no way of viewing it,
 afaik. Loader has a method called loadBytes, which expects a
 ByteArray, to display SWFs or images. NetStream and any other
 video/audio-related classes do not have such a method, again, afaik.
 
 This would be great, but Adobe might have avoided that for a number of

[flexcoders] How can I compare two XMLs by reference and not by value ?

for each ( var xmlValue:XML in _actionProviderTree) 
{
   if ( xmlValue == itemInTree) trace(Found);

and I need to be able to compare the xmlValue and itemInTree.

However, I need to compare it by refrenece ( i.e.: memory address ) 
and not by content as I have many XML's which repeat in value and 
look the same but are not by actual memory address ...

I need to trace the Found only when the two XML objects are the

Is it possible ?

from within Actionscript get a list of the embeded images ( 
Symbols ) ?

Is it possible ?

Regards and thanks again,

Sean.

Thanks for that ...

That I can do ...

But I was hoping someone can shed light on how to get a list of all 
available Symbols from a loaded SWF.

I know it is possible since that's what all these SWF Decompilers do.
But how do you do it in actionscript ?

Will see, maybe someone knows.

[flexcoders] Is there a way to load Image/Symbol from a SWF lib without embedding it ?

2007-09-06 Thread helihobby
Hi All,

All of the examples I see use:

[Embed(source='../assets/resources.swf', symbol='SunFlower')]
[Bindable]
public var SunFlower:Class;


Which is great if you want to embed the swf and than load the Symbol 
into Flex as a Class ( SunFlower ).

However, how can one Load a swf dynamically during runtime using the 
SWFLoader or URLLoader and than load a symbol ... All in run time and 
none embeded ...

Anyone ?

Thank you for all the help,

[flexcoders] Is it possible to load a an intro.swf ( CS3 ) into ( without using swc ) ?

2007-05-17 Thread helihobby
Hello all,

I have a a Intro.swf ( made in Flash CS3 ) which is compiled and 
ready to go ( has a preloader and everything ).

Converting it into a swc is a pain in b... since I have to use the 
new Flash/Flex integration tool which requires me to convert my flash 
into a single MovieClip so I will be forced to move all the layers 
around. Not to mention that if I the Intro.swf ( Flash CS3 file ) has 
an embeded MP3 it crashes Flex.


So 

Is there a way just to load @ runtime when user click on preview 
intro the pre compiled Intro.swf ( Flash CS3 Intro.swf ) inside of 
the Flex App. I don't need any interactions between Flex and Flash so 
swc will be an overkill for me. Just need to be able to load it when 
user clicks it ( and stop it from with the Intro.swf ).


As always, Thank you for all the help and support.

[flexcoders] Flash Component *.swc not working in Flex ... help ...

2007-05-05 Thread helihobby

I have installed the Extension for Flash CS3 and updated Flex to
latest 2.01 that supports the Flash Components.

I made a simple Flash CS3 a symbol and clicked the Commands - Make
Flex Components and got:

Command made the following changes to the FLA:
  Turned on Permit Debugging
  Turned on Export SWC
  Set frame rate to 24
  Imported UIMovieClip component to library
Component FlashComp is ready to be used in Flex.


So far so good...

I continued by clicking on the symbol and selected export to SWC

and saved to a folder.

Continued to go to Flex Builder and added swc under my project's
library path.

All seems ok.

when I do:

var a:FlashComp = new FlashComp();

Flex Builder finishes the word FlashComp for me so it does see the
component.

However, I do get an error of:

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: 
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method FlashComp

I also tried saving the FlashComp.swc in the root dir of the project
and did:

local:FlashComp id=ABC/

with no luck.

Any Help would be great ...

I think this may help.

wrote:

 I am new to Cairngorm and Flex (I'm All About Flash) so bear with 
me.
 
 I am creating a component and I want it to use Cairngorm. I also 
want 
 to be sure that some events fired from the component are only heard 
 by the Cairngorm of the single component instance. Component 
 namespaces won't help because I use multiple instances of the same 
 event, I could probably filter by instance, but I am trying not to 
 hack (you'll probably see the irony after the next sentence...
 
 If I use Cairngorm as is... ...and I utilize the Singleton 
 CairngormEventDispatcher, as soon as I put two instances of a 
 component on stage, the events from one instance cause the front 
 controller on the second instance to fire those events 
 
 Sadly this is probably operator error.
 
 Though I am guessing that someone has had this problem before and 
 surely there is a best practice solution to this already, I thought 
I 
 would spend a little time to explore the issue further and find my 
 own solution.
 
 I decided to try to handle this by using separate instances of the 
 CairngormEventDispatcher (MyViewHelper.dispatcher) for each 
instance 
 of my component. Then I could inject that dispatcher into 
 MyFrontController when it is instantiated so that it knows which 
 dispatcher to call. 
 
 Just when I think I am on to something, I had to override 
addCommand 
 so that it would add an event listener to that instance instead of 
 the Singleton CairngormEventDispatcher. This is great but it 
required 
 two modifications (minor, yet still modifications) to the Cairngorm 
 FrontController class in order to compile my creation. (see 
snippets 
 below) Basically I took two private things and made them protected.
 
 Of course this might effect other pieces I have yet to build, but 
my 
 level of mastery coerces me into believing I have found a solid 
 answer. snicker/ If those iteration two guys were really geniuses 
 they would have made these protected in the first place. 
 
 Ha, ha, ha, just kidding, (I crack myself up)
 
 So I can either use my own FrontController impl or I can ask the 
 question: Is this a bug in Cairngorm? Or am I correct in beleiving 
I 
 must be doing something wrong...
 
 Some code samples:
 
 //
 // myViewHelper Snippet:
 //
 public function MyViewHelper(view:Object)
 {
 dispatcher = new CairngormEventDispatcher();
 controller = new MyFrontController(dispatcher);
 ...
 }
 
 //
 // myFrontController Snippet:
 //
 public class MyFrontController extends FrontController
 {
 
 private var dispatcher:CairngormEventDispatcher;
 
 public function MyFrontController
(dispatcher:CairngormEventDispatcher)
 {
   super();
   this.dispatcher = dispatcher
   ...
 }
 
 public override function addCommand( commandName : String, 
 commandRef : Class ) : void
 {
 if( commands[ commandName ] != null )
 {
 throw new Error( Command already registered for  + commandName );
 }
 commands[ commandName ] = commandRef;
 dispatcher.addEventListener( commandName, executeCommand );
 }
 }
 
 //
 // Cairngorm FrontController Mods
 //
 public class FrontController
 {
 // ST - 03/15/2007 : private var commands : Dictionary = new 
 Dictionary();
 protected var commands : Dictionary = new Dictionary();
 
 // ST - 03/15/2007 : private function executeCommand( event : 
 CairngormEvent ) : void

Well you were both right.

It was a crossdomain.xml issue and the error does not reflect that.

I think this is a low level bug as the SWF error is wrong and does 
not pertain to anything about a sec domain issue.

However, this was a security issue.

Does anyone know of ActionScript for Linux ? Just the basic AS3 will be 
fine ...

Don't need the full UI and Libs of Flex. 
Just basic AS3 Core Libs would be fine if they can run on Linux.

As always, Thank you for all the help and support.

 How does this strategy compare to Cairngorm's ?
 It looks fairly similar - things fire abstract events to a central

 Hey Sean,
 
 This is cool. Thanks for putting it out there.
 
 A question:  In this part of the writeup:
 
 For example, the following line of code will show ( trace ) the
 instance name of the dispatching orangeBall object from within the
 scope of the whiteBall listening component.
 
 public method showSomething(event:EventsGlobals):void {
   trace(event.instance)
 }
 
 
 you type event as EventsGlobals, which is just the class that 
holds
 the constants.  Shouldn't the type be ObjectDataEvent, which is the
 class that IS the event that gets passed?  Seems that way from the
 rest of the following text, but I wanted to make sure (and it might
 confuse someone (me))

[flexcoders] How can I access public members of custom MXML component using inline statemen ?

2007-02-27 Thread helihobby
Hello all,

How can I access public members of custom MXML component using inline 
statemen ?

For example, I have my own MXML component name myComp which has 
public members.

How can I access these public member from inling mxml.

In other words, of couse I can do myComp.myMember = ABC;

But I wish to do it not in ActionScript but in MXML ( inline ).

In other words, I wish to do:

myview:MyComp x=100 y=100 myMember=ABC /

In other words, in line MXML ( not in AS ).

I tried using the setter function in myComp, but no luck.

[flexcoders] Re: Can anyone help on getting data from a grid cell .. I know the row/column index

2007-02-26 Thread helihobby
Thank you all for the answers ...
The problem is that I need to know which cell he clicked on.

Or in other words, what is the text that displayed on that cell...

Getting the complete ArrayCollection object which the user clicked on 
is easy as I can ( as u guys mentioned ) simply grab the event and do 
event.selectedItem.SOME_PROP_HERE

However, I need to know which prop he clicked on as during runtime I 
do not know the name of SOME_PROP_HERE.

In my case I have over 40 columns per row and each carries the name 
of Open1 Open2 Open3 Open4 . etc ...

So of course doing event.selectedItem.Open1 will work.

But how do I know if clicked on the column Open1 or Open2 or Open3 
etc ...


I need to figure out which OpenN ( N = number ) he clicked on ...

Thanks again,

Sean.

2007-02-26 Thread helihobby
The Flex Framework is a powerful and rich environment. However due to 
its complex and elaborate event driven architecture it is easy to loose 
control and it is hard to maintain a clear communication among all 
components and objects. 

To solve this, I came up with the ALON Design Pattern and I wish to get 
some feedback.

It is a the Magic Bullet for all communications in Flex :)

[flexcoders] Please Help with CandleStick Chart

2007-02-21 Thread helihobby
Hello,
I have a problem which I am sure is easy to solve but I am missing a 
piece of the pazzle.

I have a CandleStickChart.

In my candle stick chart I have an underline array collection.

My array collection looks like this:

[Bindable]
private var expensesAC:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection( [
{ Date: 25-Jul, Open1: 40,  High1: 40, Low1: 20, Close1:20 , Open2: 
42,  High2: 42, Low2: 48, Close2:48 , Open3: 60,  High3: 60, Low3: 
50, Close3:50} ]);

As you can see, I have a single column which is broken into multiple 
Open/Close High/Low + an index number ( 1 - 10 )

I have an event so whenever an item is clicked on the chart I grab it 
such as:


private function selectBox(event:ChartItemEvent):void {


trace(A TimeClockID:  + 
event.hitData.item.Open1);
trace(B TimeClockID:  + 
event.hitData.chartItem.index); 

trace(C TimeClockID:  + 
event.hitData.chartItem.itemRenderer.name); 

trace(D TimeClockID:  + event.hitSet.valueOf
());
trace(D TimeClockID:  + event.hitSet);
 


}

The problem is that I can not find away to figure out which specific 
column in the candle stick chart the user clicked on.

In other words, if you look at:

trace(A TimeClockID:  + event.hitData.item.Open1);

I get the valid data which Open1 holds.

However, I do not know if the user clicked on Open1 or Open2 or Open3.

I just know which object in the chart he clicked on, but I DO NOT 
KNOW which object he clicked on within the object ( i.e.: did he 
click on Open1 or 2 ... 3 ... ) .

How can I figure this out ...

Help

Regards,
Sean.




[flexcoders] Re: Please Help with CandleStick Chart

For everyone's reference:

The solution found.

I did:

var ci:Object = event.hitData.chartItem.itemRenderer;
var openData:Number = ci.data.open;
var closeData:Number = ci.data.close;
var openTime:String = ci.data.openValue;
var closeTime:String = ci.data.closeValue;
var startDate:String = event.hitData.item.startDate;

2007-02-14 Thread helihobby
I re-read your question and the answer is no you can not.
The reason is becuase Flex is event driven.

What you can do is add to the Application tag flag of:

creationComplete=init()

and use inside the class:

public function init():void{
 
pageRO = new RemoteObject();
pageService = PageService.getInstance();
 
}
