[flexcoders] Re: FlexMDI How to get DRAG_END event to fire

2007-12-20 Thread valdhor 
Well, I just tried that and the event still doesn't fire. Here is my
complete application...

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute creationComplete=init()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import flexmdi.events.MDIManagerEvent;
import flexmdi.managers.MDIManager;
import flexmdi.containers.MDIWindow;

private function init():void
{
var win1:MDIWindow = new MDIWindow();
win1.width = win1.height = 300;
win1.title = Window One;

MDIManager.global.add(win1);


MDIManager.global.addEventListener(MDIManagerEvent.WINDOW_DRAG_END,
windowEventHandler);
}

private function windowEventHandler(event:Event):void
{
if(event is MDIManagerEvent)
{
trace(event.type);
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button label=Get Ver click=trace('The button was clicked');/
/mx:Application

I added the button control as a sanity check.

When I ran it, I clicked the button, moved the window, clicked the
button, moved the window,... You get the idea. The output of the trace
was...

The button was clicked
The button was clicked
The button was clicked
The button was clicked
The button was clicked

I don't really see what I can be doing wrong.

BTW. I am using Flex 3 beta 2 but just noticed beta 3 is out which I
am downloading now. Could that have anything to do with it?

Thanks for any and all help with this.

Hmmm, thats pretty odd. I don't have Beta 2 available to test with but
that shouldn't be causing any issues because the code was written
against Flex 2. Are you able to capture other events from MDIManager?
What about events directly from the window?

Further testing...This time I tried it in IE6 (Have been using Firefox
2.0.0.11). This gives the following (Abbreviated):

MDIManagerEvent: windowDragStart
MDIManagerEvent: windowDrag
MDIManagerEvent: windowDragEnd
MDIManagerEvent: windowDragStart
MDIManagerEvent: windowDrag
MDIManagerEvent: windowDragEnd
MDIManagerEvent: windowDragStart
MDIManagerEvent: windowDrag
MDIManagerEvent: windowDragEnd
MDIWindowEvent: maximize
MDIManagerEvent: windowMaximize
MDIWindowEvent: restore
MDIManagerEvent: windowRestore
MDIWindowEvent: close
MDIManagerEvent: windowClose

Note that there are no MDIWindow drag events generated but MDIManager
drag events are. Also, there are no focus events.

As a newb, I don't really understand why there would be a difference
between Firefox and IE. Don't they use the same Flash Player?

Anyway, I hope this helps to narrow down where the problem is.

Just noticed that your code doesn't define any drag listeners on the
window, so thats why you're not seeing those. I would also check to
see what version of the player you have in each browser.

OK, my bad on the window drag listeners.

I just added them all in and tried on IE6. This gives me both
MDIWindow Drag Events and MDIManager Drag Events.

I then tried again on Firefox and everything worked. Huh??

Let me do some more testing.

If I use that code then I get the drag events but that uses
mdiCanvas.windowManager. I don't want to use a canvas; I would much
rather use the global functions.

My application has a docked ApplicationControlBar and I want my
flexMDI windows to be able to float on top of this bar. The only way I
see to do that is with the global manager.

Well, color me totally confused. I have no idea what I did but now it

Here is the pared down code which works...

Strange indeed :) I know the code I pointed you to used a canvas, I
just wanted to see if that made a difference. Maybe try converting
that file to use the global instance and see if that works?

Maybe I will give that a try.

I have been thinking about why it suddenly worked. When you asked what
version of Flash Player I was running, I went to
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507 to
find out. The page came up quite quick but the movie took about 15
seconds. I am just wondering whether my flash player had been cached
and going to the adobe page above caused it to completely reload the
latest Flash Player I had just installed?

Other than that, I am stumped.

Hi Steve,

I think something else must be interfering with your code. If you
paste the following code (pretty identical to yours) into a Script
block in a new Flex project you should see windowDragEnd traced out
to the console. (init() is called in creationComplete)

import flexmdi.events.MDIManagerEvent;
import flexmdi.managers.MDIManager;
import flexmdi.containers.MDIWindow;
 
private function init():void
{
var win1:MDIWindow = new MDIWindow();
win1.width = win1.height = 300;
win1.title = Window One;

MDIManager.global.add(win1);

MDIManager.global.addEventListener(MDIManagerEvent.WINDOW_DRAG_END,
windowEventHandler);
}

private function windowEventHandler(event:Event):void
{
if(event is MDIManagerEvent)
{
trace(event.type);
}
}
