[flexcoders] Re: HTTPService problems with SSL when using IE
The swf is being served over https. Also, if I type in the URL with the params the data is returned correctly. I am not sure what the problem is but suspect that it is related to HTTPS/FLEX/IE. - viraf --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is your SWF being served over HTTPS as well? If your SWF is served over HTTP but the web service is at HTTPS you will need a crossdomain.xml file on your HTTPS server to get the player to connect. Of course if Firefox is working correctly in the same config it doesn't seem like that would be the problem. We have seen IE bugs with HTTPS that's usually related to bugs in the app server. Check your app server support pages and see if anything jumps out.

You could build the request and pass it as a argument to the send.

Is there a performance difference between accessing properties as object.property and object[property]. 2. Is there a performance difference between calling methods and static methods? 3. What is the overhead for the dispatcher and dispatching events vs. calling methods directly? 4. What is the difference between instantiating classes using new vs createClassObject. What are the best practices between their usage? 5. The Flex Application Performance paper on Macromedia's site suggests using absolute positioning and sizing. What is the difference between setting width/height and calling setSize. What is the difference between setting x,y vs move. What is the the preferred mechanism for setting the above. 6. What documents are available to help me better understand how the UI component work so that I can apply appropriate mechanisms to improve rendering of the application. 7.

Is it ? Your suggestion appears to work which suggests that there
are different. What is the difference ?
I decided not to use percents as soem of the articles suggest not
using percents. I did get the above working by specifying the
hScrollPolicy and vScrollPolicy to off.
So what is the preferred way os specifying sizes, and what the the
difference between specifying percents vs pixels.
Thanks.

[flexcoders] Rendering in background
Hi, I have an application that displays a splash page on startup. It then proceeds to load data for some grids. Once the data has been received, it selects the view to be displayed. The problem is that this view takes a considerable amount of time to load (it has two grids). I would like for this view to be constructed in thee background if possible. When the data is received, and the view has been constructed, I would like to switch from the splash view to the application view.

[flexcoders] DataProvider Events (filterModel or updateAll)
Hi, The DataProvider document identifies the following events: addItems - The firstItem and lastItem properties will indicate the indices of the new items added. removeItems - The firstItem and lastItem properties will indicate the indices of the removed items. updateItems - The firstItem and lastItem properties will indicate the indices of the updated items. sort - The entire data set has been sorted. updateField - This means that a cell or field in the data for that row/item has been edited. The firstItem and lastItem properties will indicate the index of the updated item, fieldName will name which field in the item changed. filterModel - The data set has been filtered, or the filter has been changed or removed. updateAll - this means that the data has been entirely replaced or that the data has changed so significantly that the component displaying the data should recheck the number of items and request all the data again. My question is when should I use the filterModel vs the updateAll. I have a filtered DataProvider that extends an Array. When a filter is applied, it uses the Array functions splice(0) to remove the elements from the Array and then populates it using push(). When this is done I want to trigger the appropiate event (not sure if it is filterModel or updateAll). Any siggestions on what I should be using ? I am using the array functions rather than the dataProvider functions removeAll, addItem as I do not want to trigger a set of events while I am updating the data provider. An alternative would be to simple create and populate a new DataProvider. Any suggestions / comments on my alternatives ? Thanks. Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Deploying flex application in an ear
Hi, I have a web application that will be provided to customers as an EAR. Some of the pages in the web application will be available in two versions (HTML and FLEX). I am having difficulties in packaging the flex application in a WAR that is included in the EAR (I get ClassNotFound exceptions at startup). Has anyone been successful in this. The second item refers to the License and config files. Is there a way that these can reside outside the EAR - this will simplify the build / packaging process. Thanks. Yahoo!

Flex setup
Hi, I am experimenting with flex and have an application that will be requesting for services (HTTP Service) from a J2EE application. I would prefer not to bundle the flex jars, filters etc in the EAR I provide to the client. My understanding is that I can compile flex files into SWF. Is this correct ? Do I need any of the flex related files to be bundled with the EAR if I precompile the application as a SWF ?

Re: inline vs embedded fonts
Looking at the manuals, I need to use embeded fonts if I want
rotation, however the drawbacks of embeded fonts as specified in the
manual are:
You can only embed TrueType fonts.
Embedded fonts increase the file size of your application, because
the document must contain font outlines for the text. This can
result in longer download times for your users.
Embedded fonts decrease legibility of the text at sizes below 10
points. All embedded fonts use anti-aliasing to render the font
information on the client screen. As a result, fonts may look
fuzzy or illegible at small sizes.
You can only specify a single fontFamily style property when
embedding fonts. Flex does not support a list of embedded fonts.
So I may be stuck with the poor quality of text that I am
observing. This just doesnt sound like an acceptable solution.
Anyone had more luck than me ?

DataGridColumn.headerRenderer / rotating text in header
Does someone have an example of the headerRenderer that they could share? Does the headerRenderer need to implement the same methods as a cellRenderer - i.e. setValue? Are there any properties (beyond listOwner, getCellIndex, getDataLabel) that are set? I am trying to create a header in which the text is rotated. Rather than rotating each label, I though I would create a HBox that is rotated. I suspect that the header is not being displayed as it is being clipped. How to I specify the point around which rotation occurs, and then adjust the coordinates to compensate for the rotation ? An example would be great. Thanks

the headerRenderer the same as a cellRenderer?

Hi, I have the following code that is called to create DataGridColumn's var col:mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn; col = new mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn(cname); col.columnName=cname; col.headerText=cname; col.cellRenderer=MyCellRenderer; col.headerRenderer=MyHeaderRenderer; grid.addColumn(col); I have noticed that when I specify the renderers as a String the columns are not rendered. However, if I simply specify the class as: col.cellRenderer=MyCellRenderer; col.headerRenderer=MyHeaderRenderer; They are being instantiated. Could someone please explain the difference. The renderers were created as MXML and have the setValue method in a script. Thanks.

categories
category id=123 name=abc
products
product id=123 name=def
price12.54/price
/product
product id=345 name=ghi
price12.54/price

price12.54/price
/product
product id=345 name=ghi
price12.54/price
descdescription/desc
/product
/products
/category
/categories
I am trying to bind this to a data grid, in which the columns are
the categoy name and price
of each product in the category. My question is how do I specify
the reference to a specific
product in DataGridColumn? If someone has an example, I would love
to see it.
the following is the basic grid that I have
mx:DataGrid id=display width=100% height=30%
dataProvider={category.items} rowCount=10
mx:columns

mx:DataGridColumn columnName=name
headerText=Category/
