[flexcoders] Re: How to cancel HTTPRequest?
Once you sent a HTTP request, you cannot cancel it any more from the client side. You could send a second request to the server to cancel the previous request but that can lead to very unpleasant effects, e.g. when a cancel request arrives before the original one. So either don't fire the original request or make the server robust enough for all request.

[flexcoders] Re: How to encode query parameters?
You might look for the global ActionScript functions encodeURI() or encodeURIComponent()? http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/package.html#encodeURI() Marc --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Greg Hess wrote: > > Hi All, > > Every service call to my server requires query params (POST and GET), > even some POST requests will send query params.

[flexcoders] Re: HTTP Request Error and long strings
What's the error saying? Whatever, at least two suggestions:
1. The URL is not valid with an : in it. Encode it like
http://172.19.60.128:8080/ViewDuration%3AregisterBatchEvent/
2. Always use constants to avoid typing errors, e.g.
service.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, httpResult)

[flexcoders] MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL fires twice in Firefox
The mouse_wheel event triggers always twice in Firefox. IE7 fires correctly only one event. Find below a simple test case. Can anybody confirm this behavior and maybe a workaround? Thanks, Marc http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; addedToStage="addedToStageHandler(event)"> Compiled with Flex 3.2 including HTML-wrapper. It also happens with static swfobject wrapper.

I had a similar issue with two particular projects using Flex 3.1.0.2???. All other projects were fine. It turned out that linking the framework as runtime shared library was the culprit. Turning back to merging the framework classes into the project.swf made me a happy man. Marc, http://faindu.wordpress.com/
[flexcoders] Re: Dispatch event in itemClickHandler
I doubt that this is the best solution. However, it seems to work.
private function itemClickHandler(e:MenuEvent) : void
{
var event : PageEvent = new PageEvent(PageVO.GET, [EMAIL PROTECTED])
this.callLater(eve, [event])
}
private function eve(event: PageEvent): void
{
event.dispatch()
}
[flexcoders] Dispatch event in itemClickHandler
The code below works fine except for the fact that the menu of the PopUpButton does not close. When I comment out the CairngormEventDispatcher, the PopUpButton closes. So I assume that there is something wrong with dispatching an event in a handler?? http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="400" height="300">
