[flexcoders] NEW Melbourne Flex User Group
We are officially up and running for the new Melbourne Flex User Group. The group is all established and the old one has been removed. I am also looking to have someone help me in a Co / Manager capacity. There are advantages to running a User Group including software entitlements and strong networking and name recognition. There is a bit of work to be done, and appreciate that it's not for everyone, so rather than directly ask people for help, please contact me off list if you're interested. To join the group and see details of the first event in June visit the group site, I hope you can join the group and RSVP for the first meeting. http://mfug.groups.adobe.com Regards Dale Fraser http://dale.fraser.id.au http://dale.fraser.id.au http://cfmldocs.com/ http://cfmldocs.com http://learncf.com http://learncf.com http://flexcf.com http://flexcf.com

[flexcoders] New with Flex: Problem with data binding
Hi people,
I'm starting with Flex technology and have some doubts on how datadinding
between client-side objects work.
After reading Adobe's Flex3 and playing with some samples I ended up with the
following situation:
Created a Product.as class declared as bindable.
Created a product.mxml in which I declare the following:
...
Product id=p name={nameControl.text}/
...
mx:text id=nameControl text={p.name}/
...
For what I understand the first binding is to make sure that the product's name
is set to what the user entered in the textControl and the second binding can
be used to load an initial value in the textControl from an existing product.
right?
Now, my Product class actually has a Dimensions(width, height, etc) attribute,
where Dimensions is another as class created by me and declared bindable.
How can I bind, for example the width of my Product to another textControl?
Can I nest a Dimensions tag inside the Product tag?
or add to the Product tag an attribute like
dimensions.width={widthControl.text}?
I'd also like to achieve the same binding by creating the Product instance in
actionScript and not using mxml tags. Is this possible?
Any example on how to do these will be aprreciated as I tried different ways
but couln't get what I want. Any example on the web or open source project that
I can use as a guide for this case? (trying to create a
list-create-modify-delete screen and want to reuse the Product form for
creation and modification) because I found Adobe's examples on this theme to be
too simplistic.
Thanks in advanced,
Martin

[flexcoders] New to flex, why are the charts so tempermental?
Recently we decided to switch from an open source AS2 based flash chart
to using Flex 3 for our charting to get more control over the styling of
the chart. I'm pretty new to Flex, but so far I'm pretty disappointed
by the out of the box behavior of the charts. Basically, I'm trying to
do something very simple: dates on the x-axis, some numerical value on
the y-axis. I need to control a little bit about the fonts, colors,
and data tips, but not much else. I thought this would be easy, but
after a few days of toying around, I'm really ready to gouge out my own
eyes.
After messing around for days, I went back and tried the simplest
possible thing, straight out of the docs:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
mx:Script![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
[Bindable]
public var deck:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{date:08/01/2005, close:42.71},
{date:08/02/2005, close:42.99},
{date:08/03/2005, close:42.65}
]);
]]/mx:Script
mx:Panel title=Sample DateTimeAxis
mx:LineChart id=myChart dataProvider={deck}
showDataTips=true
mx:horizontalAxis
mx:DateTimeAxis dataUnits=days /
/mx:horizontalAxis
mx:series
mx:LineSeries yField=close xField=date
displayName=DECK /
/mx:series
/mx:LineChart
mx:Legend dataProvider={myChart}/
/mx:Panel
/mx:Application
This gives you a nice little chart where the x-axis labels and tick
marks do not come close to lining up with any of the data points. I
tried messing around with AxisRenderers and labelAlignment settings to
no avail. My conclusion thus far is that DateTimeAxis is basically
useless.
Right now, I'm working around this by switching to a CategoryAxis, but
the DateTimeAxis has some nice features I'd like to take advantage of,
and the CategoryAxis seems to have its own hurdles to overcome. Does
anyone know if there's a work around for this behavior?

Re: [flexcoders] New to FLEX
Yeah, it's a hard line to walk trying to write something that someone without any knowledge of Flex can pick up and use to get started, but also trying to balance some more advanced stuff, all while keeping the page count ridiculously low (we ended up cutting a full chapter after exceeding the For Dummies absolute max allowed, make sure to check out the website on dummies.com for that extra chapter). And the dummies style is also to try to let the reader flip to any chapter without having to have read the previous ones, so that's an added challenge :) Thanks for the support!

Re: [flexcoders] New to flex, wonder why one works and the other doesn't...
Right. Image is a UIComponent, and TextArea is a UIComponent.
UIComponent's can't contain other UIComponents without being a
subclass of Container or implementing the IContainer interface. Not a
simple task.
addChild() is defined in DisplayObject which apart of the Flash API
not the Flex API. BitmapAsset is a sublcass of DisplayObject and not
UIComponent. So you can add it to the text area directly using this
code:
var img : BitmapAsset = new imgCls() as BitmapAsset;
img.x = txtArea.mouseX;
img.y = txtArea.mouseY;
txtArea.addChild( img );
Now, try that out, and you'll start to see some issues that you'll
have to asess if this is going to work for what you're trying to do.
Since the bitmap is not apart of the document in the TextArea you are
going to get clipping or scrolling. If you want to do that you'll
have to get really dirty with the TextArea API. Probably even
ditching TextArea altogether and writing your own, or modifying rich
text editor.

something to do with applying the image as a byte array to
image.source, but I wonder why exactly? Is this a bug?

Re: [flexcoders] New to flex, wonder why one works and the other doesn't...
This one was interesting, at first glance looks like it should work,
until I actually tried it.
Turns out TeatArea inherits from UIComponent, but it does not inherit
from Container, which contain methods for adding and removing Flex
children. So you cannot add an Image to a TextArea using addChild(),
which is a method of the Flash API. It's not perfect, but it's the only
explanation I can think of why this would not work.
Why don't you set your TextArea backgroundAlpha to 0, wrap your TextArea
in another Container like Canvas, and add your Image to that container
over top of the TextArea? If your TextArea is instantiated in MXML, swap
the depths of the two so your image appears beneath the TextArea. You
can still get the TextArea to appear to have a white background by
setting Canvas backgroundAlpha to 1 and the backgroundColor to white. A
little convoluted, but it gives you more control. And saves you a few
ulcers ;)
An easier way, of course, is to simply set the backgroundImage style to
your image, if don't you mind it being centred or stretched.
Consequently, TextArea does inherit addChild() from
DisplayObjectContainer, but DisplayObjectContainer is a part of the
Flash API, not the Flex API. So you'd think that adding the asset cast
as Bitmap or Sprite (without the Image) would work, but it doesn't, I
guess cause there's no rawChildren property for TextArea. Interesting.
If anyone's got an explanation why you can't addChild([img asset]) on a
TextArea I'd like to hear it.

[flexcoders] new to flex, tutorial code doesnt work!
Hi, I'm brand new to flex using flex builder 3. I'm trying to build
the simple RIA from the Adobe tutorial and I get a parse error, even
though the code is identical.
Here is the code:
mx:TileList width=100% height=100% /
dataProvider={photoFeed};
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:VBox width=125 height=125
paddingBottom=5
paddingLeft=5
paddingTop=5
paddingRight=5
mx:Image width=75 height=75
source={data.thumbnail.url}/
mx:Text text={data.credit}/
/mx:VBox
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:TileList
Any ideas? I dont want to fall at the first hurdle.!
Secondly, can you recommend any decent books or websites that have
good tutorials for the complete beginner. I'm comfortable with css and
html so I'm not a complete noob!
Cheers guys
Paul

[flexcoders] New to Flex--using Flex classes in AS3 projects?
Hi, I am very new to Flex and am coming at it in a roundabout way. I downloaded Luke Bayes' and Ali Mills' fantastic ASProject and was trying a simple Hello World project, and compiling it for AS3 with MXMLC. I saw in the Flex SDK that in the frameworks/source folder there are a bunch of AS class files for Flex classes. Is it possible to use these for a pure AS3 project? I am building a Flash application and could use some additional UI components. Is it possible to add the Flex AS classes--such as the Panel or the Accordion--to the class path and instantiate them like I would anything else? Thanks for any help you can offer.

[flexcoders] New to Flex - dynamic text in mx:Label?
Hi there,
Given this function:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function statusToImage(data:String):String {
return test;
}
]]
/mx:Script
How precisely can I set it as text-generator for a label? I've tried:
mx:Label text={statusToImage('abc')} /
And Flex Builder writes: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method
statusToImage..
Seems it's right above in the same mxml file though!
Thanks in advance.

Re: [flexcoders] New to Flex - dynamic text in mx:Label?
Hi, Alex.
Tried your example. It works. %)
However, maybe what you need is something like this:
[Bindable]
protected function get someText() : String {
return _someText;
}
protected function set someText(value : String) : void {
_someText = statusToImage(value);
}
private var _someText : String;
and:
mx:Label text={someText} /
This seems pretty flexible to me.

RE: [flexcoders] New to Flex - dynamic text in mx:Label?
Yes. An inline renderer creates a sub-component, with its own scope, and it
does not have direct access to its parent scope. Use
outerDocument.statusToImage()

RE: [flexcoders] New to Flex and deciding...
Hello, 1. Somewhere they say that the SDK is now free but the builder ispriced and with that will be one framework license. I don't quiteunderstand what is this framework license. The Framework and compiler are free for both development and deployment.You can use them with any text editor ro develop your code. There are nohidden costs. The FlexBuilder tool, and the Charting components will be charged on a per developer seat basis. In otherwords, if you want to use them, you can buy a copy (for someamount less that $1,000) and use them to create any and all applications you want.There are no additional license fees for deploying applications.2. In the book there is reference that you can (technically) delivercompiled mxml files from your website but it will be a licenseviolation. Is it still true with 2.0? This is not true with 2.0. 3. I understand that Data Services are priced and will need licensebut if I use HTTP Service and use compiled mxml application as UI toconnect to my server "without" any Flex server component. Can I do itwithout any licensing from Macromedia? Correct. You can deliver a compiled SWF from the SDK and connect to your server without any licensed server softwarefrom Adobe/Macromedia. Bottomline. I am working on a shoestring. I need to get startedquickly with a budget of $200/yr. (which means mostly open sourceCPL/GPL software). Of course when I grow and need more commercialfeatures I will loosen my purse but I do not like any entry barriers(who does?) Does Flex2.0 licensing model accomodate people like me or not? Yes it does. :) Regards, David Adobe -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

Manuel/David/JesterXL Thanks a lot for the clarifications and insights. Are all the licensing details you mentioned already finalized at Macromedia or are they still deciding? The reason I ask this again is because I could not find this information on any official macromedia site, there are some blogs which talk about it, some lists and so forth. In one of the blogs their product manager said we intend to make SDK free... the intention is not good enough for people like me :-) On the contrary I came accross this yesterday - http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/productinfo/ncni/scenarios.html It just talks about Non-Commercial licenses. I have all intentions to be commercial from day-1. And would be happy to buy upgrade/cluster licenses, I just dont want to pay upfront costs.

Hi - and welcome to Flex :)
MXML files get turned into AS prior compilation and you can do pretty
anything either in MXML or AS. A typical usecase is to setup a
Controller inside your main Application file. This can be done either in
a Script block or by tag syntax as Tracy suggested. Below are two
examples - email code, but you should get the idea :)
1) Script style
mx:Application creationComplete=initApp()
mx:Script
import foo.bar.Controller;
private var controller:Controller;
private function initApp():void
{
controller = new Controller();
controller.init(this);
}
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
2) Tag style

Concerning ANT and the command line compilers: mxmlc is used to compile
applications (SWF files), compc is used to compile component libraries
(SWC files) so you should look out for ANT scripts that use mxmlc and
not compc :)

An example would be great if you got any. Even if it's in 1.5
I think it will be helpful to understand how AS and Flex
works together.
Thanks,

I am not doing 2.0 yet, but in 1.5 you can put your AS code
in a class
file, and then either instantiate it in a tag, or make the class
methods static, import it and then use the static methods.
I have a simple example in 1.5 if you want to see it.

This very simple sample app consist of three file. One is an ordinary
class, one is a class with static methods and the third is the main mxml
file, which uses the two utility classes.

[flexcoders] New to Flex, couple of questions
Hi list, I'm familiar with ActionScript 2.0 but new to Flex and just started learning Flex 2.0 and AS3.0. I'm amazed how easy and flexible components can be used with Flex but I got a few questions about it... So far I have only seen MXML code with embedded ActionScript. But I prefer to write the ActionScript in a class structure. Is it possible to keep both ActionScript Classes and MXML code in their own files and somehow link these? If so, how do I do that? I'd like use an Ant build file to compile the Flex apps but I'm not very familiar with the compiler syntax yet. Does somebody know of any examples on the web on how to use the compiler in a command line or an example Ant build file for it? Thanks for any help!

[flexcoders] New to Flex, and mxml and getting an error trying to use RSS
Hi,
I am very new to Flex and trying to try some basic tutorials in the
help documentation that comes with Flex Builder 2 alpha.
I searched the mailing list/archives trying to find out why I get the
following error message but to no avail. The error is below:
The processing instruction target matching [xX][mM][IL] is not
allowed.
My code is below and is basically from the documentation that comes
with the flex builder 2 alpha 1 version. The main difference is I am
trying to point it as a different url other than the
weblogs.macromedia.com/mchotin or whatever the exact url is. I am
trying to point it at a different URL.

RE: [flexcoders] New to Flex, and mxml and getting an error trying to use RSS
Hi Malik,
It looks like your url is not pointing to
a real XML file. I tried your app and I got the message Error #1090: XML
parser failure: element is malformed.
Also be aware that you cannot point to any
arbitrary URL in the WWW, since Flex apps are only allowed to obtain resources
from the server they have been deployed from, unless there is a crossdomain.xml
file present granting you access to the resource.
Cheers,
Franck

RE: [flexcoders] New To Flex
Understanding Flash is not a pre-requisite to understanding Flex. Sometimes it even confuses people J Id look at the Developing Rich Clients book even though its for 1.0, the concepts of how to build an application remain. The 1.5 tutorials that you find out on the web also should generally remain helpful for the concepts even if some of the code might need to be updated.

RE: [flexcoders] New to Flex and having difficulties with validat ion
Title: New to Flex and having difficulties with validation
OK, so this is not trivial right off the
bat right now but it can be done. Unfortunately I dont have time to come
up with an example that I can code quickly. Basically you need to have your
elements repeated and then capture the change event of the component that is
editing the field and trigger validation. Sound complex? It canbe J One thing you could do
is encapsulate the validation logic in your visual component itself, something
like this:
MyTextInput.mxml
mx:TextInput xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml
mx:String id=value{text}/mx:String
mx:StringValidator field=value
minLength=5 / !this validator is how you would
fill in all of the validation logic
mx:Script
Import mx.validators.Validator;
function isValid() : Boolean
{
return Validator.isValid(this, value);
}
/mx:TextInput
MyApplication.mxml
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml
mx:Script
function areAllValid() : Boolean
{
var allValid : Boolean = true;
for (var i = 0; i edgeinput.length
allValid; ++i)
{
allValid = edgeinput[i].isValid();
}
return allValid;
}
/mx:Script
mx:Model
id=edgesmodel source=edges.xml/
mx:Form
mx:Repeater
id=edgesrepeater dataProvider={edgesmodel.edge}
recycleChildren=true
mx:FormItem
label={edgesrepeater.currentItem.label} :
required=true
MyTextInput
id=edgeinput width=75 text={edgesrepeater.currentItem.value}
/
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Repeater
/mx:Form
/mx:Application
So thats how you could determine
that everything is valid. You could also add in additional logic for change
detection, etc.
Hope this can get you started,
Matt

You want each individual field validated
the same way or are you trying to validate the edgesmodel as a whole?
Validators dont really work well with repeated elements. You can
use some of the static utility methods to set something up, but then havingit
turn the borders of the textinputs red gets more difficult.

and having difficulties with validation
Hello
everyone,
I'm
new to Flex (started on Monday) and I'm having a lot of difficulties with validation.
Here's
the situation:
I have
a model in which I load data from an external XML
mx:Model
id=edgesmodel source=edges.xml/
Then
I use a repeater to put the information on screen:
mx:Form
mx:Repeater
id=edgesrepeater dataProvider={edgesmodel.edge}
recycleChildren=true
mx:FormItem
label={edgesrepeater.currentItem.label} :
required=true
mx:TextInput
id=edgeinput width=75 text={edgesrepeater.currentItem.value}
/
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Repeater
/mx:Form
The
user can change the edge value in the textinput field, so I wrote a function
which updates the information in the model (this works fine).
And
finally I would like to do validation on the value field of the edgesmodel
before I execute the program.
Could
someone point out how I can do this validation?
Thanks
a lot!
Jeroen.
