You could for example set up an event listener that listens to the
FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE event. That one is triggered every time the
TextArea is visually updated (The Change event only fires when using data
binding or interacting with the component) .

 

addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE, onUpdateComplete);

 

and the triggered method would look like this .

 

private function onUpdateComplete(event:FlexEvent):void

{

   textArea.verticalScrollPosition = textArea.textHeight;

}

 

If you write a custom textArea component and put this code in it, you also
have to use validateNow() at the beginning in the triggered method.

 

Hth,

Subject: [flexcoders] Automatically scrolling a TextArea to the very bottom?

 

Hello All,

I am trying to find the common methods, when comparing the TextArea from
Flash 8 to the TextArea from Flex 2.0 -

In my Flash App, whenever I wanted to scroll my TextArea all the way to
the bottom, I used the following code:

myTextArea.vPosition = myTextArea.maxVPosition;

I am trying to sift through the Properties and Methods of the Flex
version, and I am not entirely sure how to accomplish this.

Could any of you point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance for all your help,

Mike

Ah, there we go...very cool!
Having the NetConnection as service that creates a SharedObjectListener

Cairngormy enough for me now ; )

Thx a bunch, mate

[flexcoders] Remote Objects Java to Actionscript conversion

I have a java class I created that contains an ArrayList as one of the
i-vars.  I am trying access this class as a remote object but when I
receive it on the client side in ActionScript the ArrayList parameter
is null even though I am printing it's contents on the server just
before returning and it is not showing as null before it goes through
the flex gateway.  And the other parameters within my class
(String,int) are coming through just fine.  I am receiving it on the
ActionScript side as an ArrayCollection.  Am I not allowed to send an
ArrayList in this way from java to ActionScript?  Could anyone please
help?  Much appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: and I thought Adobe was a professional company. Whats going on with the upgrade


Bruce,

As Dave Mendels points out, The new functionality is documented.  Also as
Dave and Ben have pointed out, when you install FB2.0.1 you will find the
updated docs in the help system.  You can also download PDFs of the
updated doc from the Flex 2 Documentation page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/

Regarding Modules, I have already printed out the 13 pages of Chapter 31
from the updated Flex 2 Developer's Guide.  The chapter is on Creating
Modular Applications.  For more good stuff on Modules, see Roger Gonzalez's
blog for his slides and demos from MAX:
http://blogs.adobe.com/rgonzalez/2006/11/my_max_preso.html

For references on runtime stylesheets, how about you RTM and post back on
this thread what you find (or still don't find).

NOTE:  One place you will not yet find the 2.0.1 docs is ...
livedocs.macromedia.com!  But hopefully LiveDocs will be getting the updated
docs soon ;-)

Bruce, in the future if you think something is not right, could you please
first ask about it politely?  You are a great voice on this forum, so please
don't hold back.  But fwiw, the initial subject line that you chose was
heavy handed.  When you are frustrated, before broadcasting harsh
assumptions, please first test them a bit more thoughtfully.

Please also remember that there are real people, who work real hard (even
through the holidays), to bring you insanely great products and support.
And that when one of the customers that they work so hard to make all this
magic happen for doesn't initially get it, they can not but feel a little
hurt when overly harsh accusations are made in public forums.  Personally, I
think that this moment genuinely is a moment of great triumph for the Flex
team.

I want to thank Adobe, and all of the amazing people at Adobe for creating
and fine tuning these truly amazing tools that I know I am going to be
building solutions with for decades to come.  Regarding the 2.0.1 release, I
say BRAVO!!!

peace,

g

P.S.  The Flex team really is spending a lot of time listening to
customers.  After you have had a week or so to get oriented on the
2.0.1release, please do write up a bullet point list of your
suggestions of how
the release could have been even more amazing, and then share it with this
list or the members of the product team directly.  If you do, I am sure that
they will listen, take your thoughts into account, and will try use it to
improve everyone's experiences in future releases.

Lastly, if you think there are issues with Flex 2.0.1 documentation, just
try using an open source project sometime.  After using open source, I now
justify all of my licensing costs for Adobe products on the value of their
world class documentation alone ;-)

Re: [flexcoders] CRUD in XML

Could you please provide a bit more detail about what you are trying to do?

CRUD is an acronym usually associated with the database operations INSERT,

When you ask for some example how to implement Flex 2 CRUD with xml

Have you looked at the Flex 2 documentation sections on:

Re: [flexcoders] Re: It's possibile in flex


Devis,


From what I have seen, at present experiences like the effectiveui.com home

page take a bit of ActionScripting in addition to using tags.  Maybe when
Adobe ships Flex 3 (or 4) they will have these type of experiences distilled
down into MXML tags ;-)

fwiw, my guess is that effectiveui.com is done in Flex.  And the point of
their home page is to sell their services to people and companies that want
similar cinematic experiences in their applications and websites.  For
now, you should consider UIs like effectiveui.com to be advanced topics for
Flex 2 development.

btw ... for creating Cinematic Experiences with Flex your reference to
Ely's DisplayShelf Component is a great source.  And Ely did put up a
tutorial on it with full source code downloadable at:

Another great source regarding creating Cinematic Experiences with Flex is
from another Adobe employee Alex Uhlmann.  Alex has put up source code and a

2007-01-06 Thread Claus Wahlers


 Lastly, if you think there are issues with Flex 2.0.1 documentation, 
 just try using an open source project sometime.  After using open 
 source, I now justify all of my licensing costs for Adobe products on 
 the value of their world class documentation alone ;-)

Uh-ooh.. Now you're being a bit harsh yourself, aren't you? ;) Open 
source projects all have poor documentation?

While we're at it, where are the SWF9, RTMP and AMF3 specs?

I agree with you that the Flex 2 documentation is very good though.

Cheers,

Re: [flexcoders] CRUD in XML

You'd probably be better off to use Remoting to implement CRUD in Flex. 
Search for RemoteObject on Google and you should find a variety of 
resources.

 devis,

 Could you please provide a bit more detail about what you are trying 
 to do?

 CRUD is an acronym usually associated with the database operations 
 INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE.

 When you ask for some example how to implement Flex 2 CRUD with xml 
 file??? what do you mean?

 Have you looked at the Flex 2 documentation sections on:

Re: [flexcoders] RPC Pro's and Cons


Use AMF.

http://www.jamesward.org/census/

AMF is much faster.

WebORB is cheaper than FDS and has more features.  We've used the current
version of WebORB it works nice.

For 10K/socket WebORB for .NET Enterprise supports AMF3 RemoteObjects, RTMP
data pub/sub as well as Media Streaming.

Adobe's FDS is 20K/phyical socket and I think FMS(Media Streaming) is like
5K / box? (You'd have to contact Adobe sales for the pricing for the edge
edition of FMS which would be the equivalent to WebORB's unlimited Media
Streaming connection model.)

If you're just looking for RemoteObject support then there''s WebORB Pro for
2K / phsyical.

WebORB Enterprise/Professional doesn't support Java/ColdFusion however.
This was done on purpose to stay out of Adobe's FDS Java space.  If you go
with Java you need FDS.

Can get a trail version here.
http://www.themidnightcoders.com/weborb/

Incidentally the developer mode (which is the default trial mode if you
install  the trail) allows 5 IP addresses per iisreset which is great for
deploying to dev and test.

[flexcoders] Submenus that open up to the left

Hello,

I have a menu that is aligned to the right side of the screen which
doesn't leave any screen real-estate for submenus so I'd like to have my
submenus open up to the left.

As an example, Windows Media Player does their application menus this
way if you access it with the down button next to window
minimize/maximize icons.

Here is a screenshot:

I looked into openSubMenu function of Menu but can't seem to get over

override mx_internal function openSubMenu(row:IListItemRenderer):void

There must be an easier solution.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder 2 classpaths


Hmm... I think I understand your question.  Unless your code is compiled
into a swc... the answer is no.  It has to be in your workspace.

There is a workaround however.  You can map a folder in your workspace to a
folder on your hard drive.

When you create a new folder in your project there is an advanced button
that will allow you to select the folder you'd like to link too.

Hope this helps.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: and I thought Adobe was a professional company. Whats going on with the upgrade


Claus,

My apologies if it appeared that I was casting aspersions on all open source
projects.  For the record, I am a huge fan of open source.

That said, as a developer and a businessman, open source's value proposition
generally does not include documentation and support at the level that
commercial software does.  (In fact, I am hard pressed to think of even one
open source project that provides doc support that is on par or superior to
Adobe's.)

Regarding the specs for SWF9, RTMP and AMF3, I do not code directly to those
APIs so I have never referenced those specs.  (Again, my thanks to the great
engineering teams at Adobe for giving me great rapid application development
tools that enable me to code to higher level APIs ;-)

I do see what you are saying.  The Flash Player File Format Specification
FAQ http://www.adobe.com/licensing/developer/fileformat/faq/ still says:
The most recent version of the specification covers version 8 of the Flash
file format (SWF)
and then goes on to say:
Adobe updates the Specification as soon as possible after each release.
Ok.  That was over six months ago now.

But again, I write to the Flex 2/AS APIs.  Personally, I do not require
those lower level API docs at this time.

What I would like is Netconnection Debugger updated for Flex 2/AS3/AMF3  :-)

best regards,

g

Could somebody really quick point me in the right direction, for a crash

My present problem I'm trying to tackle is this:

I have a draggle Popup TitleWindow which displays Debugging information
while my application runs. Using Cairngorm, I keep my Debug Messages in
a Text Variable (which obviously resides in my Model).

My debug TitleWindow's TextArea control, has it's Text Property bound to
the model.debugMessages variable. This works beautifully - since when
my function kicks off, it appends the new debug information (plus a
carriage return) to the TextArea.

The problem is, the TextArea doesn't auto scroll to the bottom
whenever new text is added to the control. Being a programmer
interested in debug messages, I am primarily interested in the LATEST
debug information.

With that said, I am trying to dispatch an Event, to have the TextArea
auto scroll to the very bottom, anytime there is new Text added. I know
the Property name that I must change, but I need to find out how to make
the Dispatched Event, get disseminated across the application, to the
Debug Window control. I know I could simple listen for the change
event locally to the DebugWindow Control, but I need to find out how to
trigger this manually.

Could any of you help me out regarding this?

date shown in the text portion of the component isn't highlighted in the
calendar pop-up. But, if I leave out the formatting, and then select a
date from the calendar pop-up, and the text shows 01/01/2007, and I
re-open the calendar pop-up then the selectedDate is appropriately set.

So, obviously, the question is, Does anyone know why this happens and
how to fix it so I can use a formatting function to set the DateField
text to 'MMM DD ' and have the selectedDate property appropriately
set as well?

Thanks,

R. Grimes

Re: [flexcoders] Need some direction from the Pros, on Event Dispatching, and Scoping issues

Oops that was Flex 1.5 syntax... should be.

traceArea.verticalScrollPosition = traceArea.maxVerticalScrollPosition;

It may even be possible to bind it.

mx:TextArea id=traceArea verticalScrollPosition={
traceArea.maxVerticalScrollPosition} /

I understand you want to dispatch a custom event here but it seems like a
bit overkill.

2007-01-06 Thread Mike Anderson

Thanks Clint, for those links -
 
The first link, has a section which explains the invalidation stuff -
which was really informative.  I love reading stuff like this, as it
really gives better insight into how things work, as well as what's
going through the minds of the Flex engineers, while designing their
control's structure.
 
Also, I wasn't aware of the 2nd link - flexsearch.org - and I will start
using this on a regular basis, when searching for solutions to problems.
 
Have a good night and weekend Clint :)
 
Mike

RE: [flexcoders] Need some direction from the Pros, on Event Dispatching, and Scoping issues

2007-01-06 Thread Mike Anderson

Too funny Clint - you read my mind on BOTH instances.
 
I first said to myself, that was Flash 8  Flex 1.5 Syntax (as I found
the Flex 2.0 syntax, since my original post last night)
 
And secondly, I also came to the conclusion, that dispatching an Event
manually may be overkill, since using a built-in Event and attaching a
function to it, will be all I really need for this particular
application.
 
Per another post, it was mentioned that I should use the
UpdateComplete event to cause the text to scroll to the bottom - but I
am finding out that this event gets triggered MUCH more often then
people may realize.  Especially the resize event, in which I use quite a
bit with this TitleWindow...
 
For now I am using Change, and this should hopefully be all I need in
order to keep the most recently added text, visible in the control.
 
Again, Thanks for all your help - in addition to everybody else on this
list.
 
Take Care,
 
Mike

RE: [flexcoders] Docs included in 2.0.1 are broken

Again I have no knowledge about the standalone version but on the Flex
plugin version you can get to the Flex docs by opening the Eclipse Help
(Help/Menu/Help Contents or Dynamic Help). Or if the help browser is not
your cup of tea (I find it very slow) you could unpack the API doc from
Eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flexbuilder.help_2.0.155577/doc.zip and use a
browser.

 

Hth,

Sascha

I assume this is a local copy of the Flex2 Language Reference

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2 Plug-in\Flex SDK 2\asdoc\templates

By using index.html I get missing file errors such as:
/C:/Program Files/Adobe/Flex Builder 2 Plug-in/Flex SDK
2/asdoc/templates/package-summary.html.

package-summary.xsl exists, but no html. I'm not sure if this is
supposed to be a usable local copy of the docs or not. Also not sure
if this worked in the original version of Flex2
