Re: [flexcoders] Stopping a function
I guess it depends on the function. Take the Timer class. It has a start() and
stop() functions. You can create a custom function that calls those functions
to start and stop them.
So, if you have a class that has a running function (I.e. Timer.start()), then
you can create another function (function B) to stop it. Make any sense?

[flexcoders] AS3 RemoteObjects and Operations
Thank you to those that have taken the time to try to help me understand AS
RemoteObjects. Its much more detailed than the mxml version, but that is why I
want to learn it. Having said that...
When creating a DAO Class for CRUD, is it necessary / best practice declare the
operation name? I don't see it declared in the few examples online that I can
find for creating RemoteObjects in AS. For example, is this right for a set up?
package com.isavepets.data
{
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.remoting.Operation;
import mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject;
public class PetDAO
{
private var ro:RemoteObject;
private var create:Operation;
private var read:Operation;
private var update:Operation;
private var deletePet:Operation;
public function PetDAO()
{
var ro:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject();
ro.destination = ColdFusion;
ro.source = com.isavepets.pets.petDAO;
ro.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, faultHandler);
}
}
}
Then build functions off of them:
public function create(petData:Object):void {
var create:Operation = new Operation(ro, create);
ro.create(petData):
}
Thanks again. trying to wrap my head about RemoteObjects and how to create them
in one Class that my app can use over and over.

this is done? I have a CFC set up in the directory as I have done a

Your RO variable is out of scope, you defined as a local variable to the

[flexcoders] Passing a varibable back to ActionScript via HTTPRequest
I have a CF page that generates a Unique ID (UUID). I have an
HTTPRequest passes information to a CF page and I want it to generate
the number and then return it to ActionScript where it can use it as a
local variable. Any idea on how to do that?
Does the HTTPRequest return a value? Does it have to be in XML?
Would I set the returned value in the
resulthandler? Here is what I have for a HTTPRequest:
private function startTrackIt(trackInfo:Object):void {
var service:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
service.url = tracker.cfm; //Dev
service.method = POST;
service.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, timingSaved);
service.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, alertFault);
service.send(trackInfo);
}
What
would I need to do next to set a local variable in my AS? In a
RemoteObject, I usually set the a variable, typed ArrayCollection, in
the ResultHandler.
Sorry, this little idea is all new me and I am trying to figure it out.
OR Can Flash create a unique number like ColdFusion?

Also, have you yet managed to get Flex to communicate with the server at all? If not, that is job 1. I'd advise simplifying things as much as possible, like creating a simple page that accepts an HTTPService request (no parameters) and returns a hard coded value (I advise xml). Then, make that page an echo page, that takes a single querystring parameter and returns it to the Flex client. Test that from a browser before you try it from Flex (using GET). Then use an htm form to submit the parm, then POST from Flex.. When you get that, you will be pretty much in business. Ah, also try it without https. There are some considerations with HTTPS, particularly with serving the Flex app from http, but the data from https. Google that.

Hi wkolcz,
try not to post the same message more than once. If people don't take

You need to pop a Javascript alert in your trackClosing() method to keep the
browser from closing until the user clicks the OK button.
This technique is a hack, but an alert generally leads to a long enough delay
in user interaction (say a second or two) to finish making your call into the
Player before the browser process exits.

RE: [flexcoders] Does anyone know ANYTHING about AS Webservices?
I put the webservice so it creates a public instance ready for use.
public var webService:WebService = new WebService();
public var trackInfo:Object = new Object();
public var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(0);
I then change the code to:
private function wsdlLoaded(event:LoadEvent):void {
Alert.show(Web Service Loaded and Ready, Service Status);
webService.countIt(trackInfo);
webService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, alertFault);
}
private function stop_onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTimer.stop()
trackInfo.addOne = 1 ;
trackInfo.duration = myTimer.currentCount;
trackInfo.action = Video Stopped;
trackInfo.source = source;
webService.wsdl =

webService.loadWSDL();
webService.addEventListener(LoadEvent.LOAD, wsdlLoaded);
stop();
playPressed = false;
}
It loads the WSDL and the Alert pops up, but still cant get it to the database.

First, loadWSDL() is asynchronous. You

I created a form that submitted to the same page that the HTTPService sends to. It inserts fine. The variables are there, I generated a document with them. What needs to be sent back and how?

That means Flex is sending the call with the data corrrectly. So then where is the error happening? Between CF and the Database? Does the CF Insert query work if you hard code the values? What IS the error? Send something back to Flex. Hard code it if necessary. I have never done either HTTPService or WebSevice calls without some return data. Maybe flex is trying work with a null.

[flexcoders] Flexbuilder is getting on my last nerve
I like to start my AS files by adding all the import statement of all the items I know I am going to need. However, if I forget one and FB is nice enough to add it form me, it tends to delete a couple of mine (seemingly randomly, except for Alert...It hates that one). Is this a 'feature'? Is it a bug? Can it be stopped. I appreciate adding ones on the fly for me, but my apps are striking errors since it deletes them for me.

[flexcoders] Reloading creation complete or another way...
I have a number of pop up windows that take passed ID's to grab information and display it. I am doing it through and initApp() in the creationComplete. However I notices that if you spawn another one, the initApp doesn't load since the component is already loaded into the system. Is there another place to put a initApp function that will reload the info each time the component TitleWindow is loaded or a event that dies when the window closes using PopUpManager.removePopUp(this)

Re: [flexcoders] Re: my first flex website
I too agree that Flex is probably not the best choice for an information type site. I am using it to develop working applications for clients/work that stress less information and more functionality. Using Flex as a Flash-based web application platform is probably the better way to go and leave the fluff-sites to HTML or Flash.

You've used a good number of the components/effects/etc... available, and the content loads/displays well. Beyond the technical aspect, I agree with Florian on the fact that it's a bit overwhelming with colors and layout. I'm of the opinion that Flex is not the solution of choice for traditional sites like this... did it offer any advantages of traditional HTML or Flash?
