Fired up Network Monitor.  As I expected: nada!

Too weird because the URLLoader is instantiated and waiting to go.
What in the world could be going on?

2012-03-30 Thread nagaofthesea 
Howdy Alex and Everyone-

I have _NO_ clue why this worked, but it did.

I, a la Cairngorm technique, made a custom URLLoaderDelegate and corresponding 
IURLLoaderResponder.  Encapsulated all the URLLoader code and its handlers of 
the LoadFeedCommand amd moved it out to the delegate and responder.  Actually 
no more than a cut and paste job with cleanup of imports etc.

Now URLLoader works predictably in every case ...

Truly Weird!!  Because the code is essentially identical...
Oh well.  In the world of deadlines working reliably is good enough for now.

[flexcoders] Re: Component controls

2012-03-24 Thread nagaofthesea 








Hi Jerry-

I use Cairngorm.

I would specify a property in a bindable final MyModel like so:

public var labelVisible:Boolean;

MyModel is then referenced as a property on bindable MyModelLocator (Singleton) 
like so:

public var myModel:MyModel;

I then would make my custom component with the following in the script block:

fx:Script
 ![CDATA[
   
   import com.myPackage.MyModelLocator;

   [Bindalbe] public var myModelLocator:MyModelLocator;
  
   ]]
/fx:Script

So now when I instantiate my custom component I pass in MyModelLocator and then 
I can then use this variable in the label easily:

Label
 id=myLabel
 visible={myModelLocator.myModel.labelVisible}/

You should do your processing in a distinct separate AS3 class to manipulate 
mModelLocator.myModel.labelVisible within that class.  Et Viola, the changes 
percolate prefectly.

Hope this sheds some light.

-Naga

 I want to change the visible property to a control in a component.
 Where would I do that?  It doesn't seem to work in a script tag at the
 top of the component and I don't know how to reach that control from a
 script elsewhere.
 
  
 
 I have an app with an input form (state 1).  When you click a button on
 it, various computations happen and the result form is displayed (state
 2).
 
  
 
 I want to either hide or display  a control depending on the data from
 the computation.  It is a label.  The value in the text field (bound
 from a VO) next to it is what I use to make that decision.

Howdy-

Follow up for all.

Solution: Delete the view component and rebuild it from scratch.

Explanation:  I do not know why object deep copy fails sometimes in Flex, but 
after rooting around searches for two days I remembered something from the days 
of Flex 2 -- when all else false, delete and rebuild.

Well, that's what I did and it worked.  Cut my View code and pasted it to 
notepad, and then created a new View component with a different name.  Pasted 
in my code from notepad.  Integrated this new differently-named component in 
the app
et voila!: Problem Solved.

BTW - the cut  paste operation was to assure myself that the problem was *NOT* 
coder error

Sheesh! I RAlly hate cheesy fixes like this.

Right-click your mobile application file, select Run/Debug Settings, select

Howdy-

I believe the very smart guys that comprise LessonNine Ghmb (of babbel fame) 
started the project using Flex and Rails.

I do not know if they are still using said ..

From Wikipedia:

An Adobe Flex Application
 
Highly interactive, more than a website, Babbel is a full Web-software-powered 
environment for foreign language learning built with Adobe Flex. The founders 
found Adobe Flash to be the best technology available for playing sounds and 
graphic effects[8]. Four developers have been working on Babbel - two of them 
focusing on the Flex client and two developing the Ruby On Rails based backend 
running on Amazon EC2 instances. Development time to the first public version 
in January 2008 was about 8 months.[1].
 
According to Thomas Holl, the CTO,
 

The server consists of 12K lines of Ruby code, the Flex client is about 50K LOC 
(including 7K lines of generated integration code). We're following an 
iterative development process - and found out that a length of one week seems 
to work best for us. Besides that, we're using best practice tools and 
processes, e.g. Subversion for version control, Trac for defect 
tracking/documentation/communication, automated builds/deployment via 
Ant/Capistrano, etc.[9]
 
The website has currently more than 700,000 users worldwide.

 I have dug through the variables at the error and the fonts are there, for

 In EmbeddedFontRegistry.getAssociatedModuleFactory() (at 395) is the problem

2011-08-04 Thread nagaofthesea 


Howdy Alex-

I am MORE than happy to send you my FXP if you need it.

I have played around with quite a few things and it appears to remain a problem 
with EmbeddedFontRegistry and its call (at 469) to SystemManager.callInContext 
(at 1912) by the autogenerated class.

I have dug through the variables at the error and the fonts are there, for sure.

In EmbeddedFontRegistry.getAssociatedModuleFactory() (at 395) is the problem 
with the module?  The only thing I can see that could be NULL is the var 
result:IFlexModuleFactory.

Anyways, I greatly appreciate you looking at this

COMMENT ON DEBUG OUTPUT.
I have made custom skins based on Adobe mobile skins.  The custom skins have 
F prepended to the Adobe mobile skin name.  They are clones of the mobile 
theme skins with my custom art etc as hard-coded ActinScript and FXG skins.

I have four very narrow range nonCFF embedded fonts declared appropriately at 
the top.  My data renderers use _sans.

When I mentally step through the code starting at UIComponent line 12739 I 
don't see the problem(!?!).  There are no NULLS.

I understand that the relevant lines of code causing the problem are mostly for 
debug purposes, but I just can't see what the problem is.  All the way up to 
the call to SystemManager.callInContext() there are no NULLS that I can find 
checking the variables -- save for the `this` argument which is NULL as it 
should be.

The fonts are in the registry as:
embed_font_cine_bold_normal_899163827;
embed_font_cine_medium_normal_597874558;
embed_font_serpe_bold_normal_1790603002;
embed_font_serpe_medium_normal_1688454721;

 :-/

Alex, should I just write an uncaught error handler for this?

Naga

 Went to write a handler for keyboard input using the public static

[flexcoders] Pay-to-Play Credit Card Processors

2008-05-05 Thread nagaofthesea 
Hello All-

I am prototyping an online application that will require users pay-to-
play.  That is, users can purchase chunks of time to gain access to the 
application's functionality.

My application is being developed using Flex3 on the front, ColdFusion8 
in the middle and SQL Server 2005 on the back.  Ideally I would like to 
integrate cc payment seamlessly.  If the user gets close to running out 
of time they can quickly purchase with a stored profile and then 
seamlessly pick up where they left off.

Does anyone have experience with vendors who provide plug-in cc 
processing service or shrink-wrapped components for this kind of pay-to-
play functionality? Easy integration with the Flash Player 9 a BIG BIG 
plus, but not necessary.

Thanks And Regards
-Naga
