You could use the setRemoteCredentials method of the RemoteObject to send

This does seem to be the current behavior. It started happening with my code 
too.

I don't know exactly when it started but may be due to the fact that I just

[flexcoders] Re: HttpService resultHandler in different Window

[valdhor]

So, somewhere a null object is trying to be referenced.

You will need to add debugging code to check which object is null.

If you need two way communication between your windows I would recommend 
creating an interface and implementing it in both windows.

I would add a focus out event listener on text2. When it fires, check to see if

[flexcoders] Re: Need help dynamically modifying text displayed based on DB return

[valdhor]

Firstly, the way you are setting your public variables won't work. The {} 
syntax only works inside an MXML statement. You would need to change

[Bindable] public var imageTitle:String = "{win.title}";

to

[Bindable] public var imageTitle:String = win.title;

Secondly, you may like to look into using item renderers.

Use Charles (www.charlesproxy.com) to see if the data you are expecting to come

Yes, that is the case with my company as well (300,000+ employees) but there is 
procedures for getting things done. We have all kinds of in house built 
applications and a special installer application for installing them on users 
machines.

As I said, the AIR apps are only used for building IOS apps.

Flash Player is updated regularly and is pushed to every computer on the 
network.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex alternatives

[valdhor]

All of that seems inordinately complex compared to just coding in ActionScript.

I still believe there is a future with Flex (I am planning for 3-5 years). 
Adobe is still developing Flash for the desktop.

Flex is just an ActionScript Framework (Or library if you like to think of it 
that way) of components. It has been free to download for quite some time. Open 
sourcing the code just lets the community fix some bugs, enhance some 
components and create new ones (Although that has been happening for some time 
anyway). There have been patches, workarounds and new components being built by 
members of the community already. The only difference now is Adobe is not the 
only entity that can push official releases. I liken it to how Apple open 
sourced Darwin.

Hopefully Adobe (Or someone else) can build an IDE for HTML5/JS/CSS that is as 
easy to use as Flash Builder and insulates developers from the complexities 
inherent in that workflow. Once that happens I will be moving forward. At the 
moment there is nothing I believe ready for prime time except maybe ZKoss 
(Although I have yet to make that determination).

On the suggestion that I will be leaving IOS devices out, that seems absurd. 
You can use the same Flex code and with some modifications make it into an AIR 
app that can be compiled for IOS devices.

Again, all just my perspective. I think some people are blowing the open source 
announcement out of all perspective.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex alternatives

[valdhor]

We are staying with Flex as well but keeping an eye on what is happening.

I work for a very large enterprise company and it takes a while for our IT 
department to test software before deployment. They have almost completed 
Windows 7 and have a tentative deployment start of 2012. In late 2011 IE7 was 
ratified and became the company standard for web browsing. Up until then we had 
to stay with IE6!

As far as we are concerned HTML5/JS is not ready for prime time. Many 
enterprise customers are in the same boat and do not deliver the bleeding edge 
to their users.

Once there is a viable ecosystem available for HTML5/JS (Including mature IDE's 
of the same value as Flash Builder with Flex) we will seriously look at them. I 
really don't see that happening for at least 5 years.

On a side note, I like the look of ZKoss. I don't know if there are cross 
browser issues with it seeing as we use older versions of browsers. One of the 
great features of Flex is we don't have to bother coding for compatibility 
between different browsers and versions. When IT deployed IE7, Flex 
applications worked just as they had before.

Anyway, just my 2c from the enterprise perspective.

[flexcoders] Re: Examining static variables when debugging with Flash Builder

[valdhor]

You have to create a variable of type Global somewhere in your code before you 
can use the class variable x.

The Flash Builder compiler is "Smart". If you explicitly import a class but 
then don't use it the compiler will not import the class. To do so would bloat 
the code for something that is not used.

As x is a static variable (ie. class variable) you would need to use the class 
to get access to x. ie. Global.x

After you create the variable you don't need to use that variable. In fact, the 
variable will be null. Global will not appear in the Variables view as it is 
not a variable - it is a class. To see x in debug you would need to create an 
expression - Global.x

[flexcoders] Re: Replacing double slash with a single slash

[valdhor]

As I understand it the backslash character is special in both the regex and the 
replacement string, so it has to be double escaped in both places. That means, 
for every single backslash you want to match or insert, you have to put *four* 
backslashes in the regex or replacement string.

[flexcoders] Re: code out of sync with flash builder

[valdhor]

Do you have the debug even if there are errors (Or whatever it is called) 
turned on?

I have only seen this when there are errors in the code so a compile can't 
complete. In this case Flex will let you debug but use the previous compiled 
version.

[flexcoders] Re: opening another Window in Flex for commenting on data entered in TextArea compon

[valdhor]

The way I would do it is to include an extra text area underneath (Or beside) 
each of the current text areas for the reviewer to add comments. These text 
areas would only be visible if a reviewer logged in. Depending on some flags 
that are populated in the database, you could make one or the other 
editable/visible at a time (eg. If a reviewer has already added comments, make 
the comments text area visible but not editable)

[flexcoders] Re: ModuleLoader.child is null

[valdhor]

I do it a different way than you which you may like to try...

private function onReady(e:ModuleEvent):void
{
 var ml:ModuleLoader = e.target as ModuleLoader;
 // cast the module (the child property of the ModuleLoader) to the
 // ITest interface. If the child implements this interface
 // ichild will not be null.
 var ichild:* = ml.child as ITest;
 if(ichild != null)
 {
 // Pass data to module via interface
 ichild.somedataiwanttopass = this.thedataiwanttopass;
 }
}

Using this I have never found the child to be null (Although I do
check).

In your module code I don't see where it implements 
com.storefront.interfaces.controller.ITest. If there is no implementation of 
the interface, the child will be null.

This type of question should not even be directed at Alex as it is something

First read the documentation at

then try to implement it yourself. If you have any problems with the 
implementation post again with code as well as any errors you get and a stack

You will need the item renderer to act as an item editor. Also, you will need 
to add an extra field to the data provider to hold this value. On itemEditEnd

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid's Itemrenderer - Access to Datagrid

[valdhor]

Even though it looks like you have an answer to your question I'd like to ask 
why you would want that?

It is always a much better practice to inject what you want into the item 
renderer instead of trying to reach back out to the original owner to get it. 
As Item Renderers are recycled this leads to major overhead, the inabilty to 
re-use the item renderer as well as tight coupling.

You may want to reconsider your use case and look at a different way of doing 
it. Telling us what you are trying to achieve may yield a best practices 
approach.

[flexcoders] Re: What version of Flash Builder do you have?

[valdhor]

Are you perhaps confusing the versions of Flash Buidler and Flex?

The Flash Builder Application is at 4.5.0.x

The Flex SDK is at 4.5.1

You can download Flex SDK builds at 
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4.5

Adobe packages the two items above and calls it Flash Builder 4.5.1

You'll need to use the Flex FileReference class.

If you do a Google search for Flex File Upload you will find a number of

I agree with Tim - use an item renderer. Inside the IR, use a graphics fill to

[flexcoders] Re: Why hhtpservice is too long

[valdhor]

I suggest you move from XML to Remote Objects.

You obviously have control of both the server and the Flex client. Currently 
you are retrieving data from the server and converting it to an XML string that 
you return to Flex. On the Flex side you then decode the XML to a form that you 
can use. That encode/decode cycle adds additional complexity and time to your 
data transfer tasks.

Remote Objects use a compressed binary stream to transfer data. You will 
probably find that the amount of data transferred will be around one tenth of 
what you are currently seeing. There is no need to do any conversion - You 
create objects on the server for each row; Put the objects in an array; And 
return the array to Flex. On the flex side you create an Array Collection from 
the resultant array and can use the objects directly. These objects are called 
DTO (Data Transfer Objects) and generally have no methods attached.

When I first started out with Flex I used XML as that seemed to be the easiest 
way and Remote Objects looked difficult to learn. Once I put in the time to 
learn and found out the benefits I never looked back. Now I only use XML in 
SOAP solutions.

I would also suggest using WebORB for PHP as your middleware for Remote 
Objects. I have been using it for years and it is rock solid. There is a 
community version which is free for use but can also be licensed if you want 
enterprise support.

If you are returning 17,000 rows you probably want to look at data paging of 
your data grid. What I do is calculate the space available to the datagrid and 
calculate the maximum number of rows that can be seen. Then in the request I 
pass an offset and rowcount property to the server. On the server I use these 
properties in a LIMIT clause to MySQL. If the offset is zero I also add 
SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS to the query so I can return total number of rows for the 
query so I can calculate the number of pages.

Using both of the above techniques should optimize your data request/response 
times.

Add an event listener to the menubar itself. In the event listener you can find

[flexcoders] Re: Any difference between instantiating in declaration vs. init()

[valdhor]

In your use case probably no. It all comes down to when you want to use the 
variable you are creating.

In my case I always like my variables in a predetermined state when I create 
them so, if I can, I'll always initialize them in the declaration. It also 
saves an extra line of code ;-}

Add an event listener for the menubar rather than each item then check the

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid column width to be calculated by headerText

Nope, no quick fix.

You would need to loop over all the data and find the longest strings. You 
would then need to calculate the widths based on FontMetrics for the font you 
are using.

I have seen an example in the past so Google should be your friend.

These security errors are generally at the other end. ie. ustream (Or whatever

have to let you access their stuff (Or provide an API to you)

[flexcoders] Re: help with a repeater

[valdhor]

As I said, it is easier to package up the items into a component and
repeat that. To that end, here is an example (Unfortunately, it appears
that vimeo is set up not to allow embedding. It does work with other web
sites however):

Application:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="vertical" xmlns:Vimeo="Vimeo.*"
creationComplete="onCreationComplete()">
 
 
 
 
 
 
 http://vimeo.com/api/v2/iglesiafls/videos.xml";
resultFormat="object" result="onResult(event)" fault="onFault(event)"/>


VimeoList.mxml:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


VimeoWindow.mxml:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="vertical" width="800" height="600"
 xmlns:flexiframe="http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/";
 title="{windowTitle}"
 showCloseButton="true"
 close="titleWindow_close(event);">
 
 
 
 


You will need flex-iframe from
https://github.com/flex-users/flex-iframe/ to embed the HTML.

Note that this is a quick and dirty example with no error checking etc.
You should use this to further your understanding rather than as a basis
for production code.

[flexcoders] Re: using a coldfusion proxy to show twitter feed in flex app

[valdhor]

Sorry, I am out of my depth here. I don't use ColdFusion.

All I can suggest is creating a debug file on the server and dump to the file 
to see if you are getting the desired response. After that, use Charles to see 
if the server is sending the correct response.

[flexcoders] Re: using a coldfusion proxy to show twitter feed in flex app

[valdhor]

OK, so now it doesn't like the XML you are sending to the CFC.

What does Charles show as the XML string that is actually being sent? Does that 
XML pass a validation check? Does it look right?

[flexcoders] Re: using a coldfusion proxy to show twitter feed in flex app

[valdhor]

This is a CF error. I don't know much about CF but the error is saying that you 
are not allowed to access that method remotely.

Is there some setting in CF that tells it which methods are remotely 
accessible? Is the crossdomain file set up correctly?

Of course, I could be wrong (And probably are) so any CF masters like to jump 
in here?

[flexcoders] Re: help with a repeater

I have had better results with a repeater if I bundle all the components in the 
repeater into a single component and then repeat that. You can create public 
variables in this custom component to hold values you need to pass in.

I'm obviously not getting it then.

My project uses thousands of classes and I can debug it and just look at the 
classes I want.

What are you trying to do exactly? ie. What does "monitor the activity taking 
place in a couple of the classes" actually mean?

I would have thought that the library you mention would work fine.

Barcodes don't change. Once you have it all working there does not need to be

I don't know about others here but IMHO a better user experience would be to

[flexcoders] Re: mx.controls.HTML in AS3 project

[valdhor]

According to the documentation it is in the standard mx.controls package. See 
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/mx/controls/HTML.html

Of course, that means you will have to include the flex SDK. An AS3 only 
project probably doesn't include the SDK.

I just had a look at the framework.swc file where I would have expected to see 
mx.controls.HTML. It includes the mx.controls package but I don't see the HTML.

Try setting the request timeout to zero.

Also, what is the actual fault that is returned? Add the following to your

Alert.show(fault.fault.faultString, fault.fault.faultCode.toString());

[flexcoders] Animating an arrow into a target

[valdhor]

I have a project where I need to show the progress of a, well, project. The 
project has seven specific stages that it must pass through.

What I would like to do is have an animated arrow move from left to right 
across the screen until it hits a target on the right side. At any time a user 
can navigate to the page to see what stage the project is up to. I'd like the 
user to see the arrow move to that point and stop.

Unfortunately I am not a designer nor animator. I have looked at tweening but 
that just seems to be able to move an object (like the arrow) from one place to 
another but I would like the arrow to elongate as it moves (ie. The head and 
tail stays the same but the shaft elongates).

I have PNG images of the arrow and target and can break the arrow into a head, 
a tail and a 1-pixel wide shaft.

If anyone has any ideas on how to accomplish it, examples/tutorials or sites I 
can visit I would be most appreciative. (I have been googling all day but can't 
find anything useful)

If you can sync to the web why can't you create an embedded web server in the

That does not look like a Flex class. Is it PureMVC?

I would try what it tells you to do. ie. Define a variable of that type in the

[flexcoders] Re: HttpService results inconsistent

[valdhor]

This is pretty much how Flex works and has been documented.

What I always do is convert the result into an array...

new ArrayCollection(ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result))

so even with only one record I still get an ArrayCollection.

[flexcoders] Re: Catching/Trapping Error #3003: File or directory does not exist

[valdhor]

What does model.networkDriveLetter actually hold? Is it just the drive letter 
or is the colon attached as well?

Perhaps the call is failing even before the resolve tries to happen.

You may like to check the code in resolvePath to see how it works and where it 
throws the error.

[flexcoders] Re: Catching/Trapping Error #3003: File or directory does not exist

[valdhor]

Clasping at straws...

Maybe it's not an IO_ERROR type of IOErrorEvent so it's not being handled.

You could try adding listeners for all types of IOErrorEvent.

[flexcoders] Re: Could AIR create an automation app?

You can use Merapi (http://code.google.com/p/merapi/) as a bridge between AIR 
and Java. Java has full hooks into the host OS so you should be able to do 
everything you want (As well as being platform agnostic)

[flexcoders] Re: [Important] Simultaneous HTTPService in the same component

[valdhor]

You may be better off using Remote Objects.

In some of my components I have multiple remote object requests being made at 
the same time (Flash is intelligent enough to bundle all of these requests into 
one call if the requests come fast enough).

You can use one file to handle all of the requests as each call can be made to 
different methods.

In my case I use PHP on the server along with WebORB and it has been rock solid.

[flexcoders] Re: Flash Builder, The user operation is waiting for background work to complete

[valdhor]

I get that On my Windows XP box. It's usually when I have changed multiple 
files and save them one after the other. I have build automatically turned on 
so it compiles after each change. Sometimes that takes a bit longer than normal 
and I get that message. Waiting for a little while usually clears it up.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Sdk 3.5 does not have ADG?

[valdhor]

The free Flex SDK 3.x did not include AdvancedDataGrid. This was included as 
part of the Flex Builder pro license.

Flash Builder 4.x includes AdvancedDataGrid as standard.

This is IIRC. Someone else please chime in if I am incorrect.

Correct me if I am wrong but aren't windows of any kind parented by

The way I do things is to set an event listener in the main application and

One person's ini file that works is probably not going to work on your system. 
It's all dependent on the DLL's that are loaded and where they position 
themselves in memory (They generally have a preferred location). In your case 
you have a loaded DLL (or more) that is/are loaded in memory somewhere inside 
the 2GB that is available. The JVM has determined that there is a contiguous 
800MB of memory and limits you to that.

Someone could post an ini file that works for him/her but they would have 
different DLL's loaded so that ini file will not work for you.

You can either try to unload the various DLL's you have or find some way to 
move their preferred memory location.

[flexcoders] Re: flashBuilder.ini

[valdhor]

First off, are you running 32 bit or 64 bit Java? Not to mention Eclipse (Flash 
Builder). NB: Flash Builder is built on Eclipse. It looks like it is 32 bit 
(win32 mentioned in plugins line). This will give a maximum heap size of 2GB 
which you would not be able to set it to as there would not be any memory left 
to work with. Also, a DLL may have loaded into the memory area that the JVM 
wants to use for heap (The JVM needs a contiguous block of memory). Java is 
intelligent enough to give an error if you set initial(Xms) or maximum(Xmx) 
heap size too high.

Some posts that might help you understand these settings...

[flexcoders] Re: Using modules and remote objects

[valdhor]

I do this all the time. My main application is a shell that loads in the app's 
layout and loads the menu's based on a users access level. This app then loads 
whatever module the user is interested in. Each module has all of its 
functionality encapsulated including its required remoting. This is all using 
Flex 3.x (Whatever the latest version is) as I don't have time to port it to 4 
yet.

Can you post some code? Flex as well as server would be good. PHP would be even 
better.
