Subject: [flexcoders] Problem using a subclass of ComboBox in
actionscript



Hi all,

I created a AS subclass of ComboBox. I can use the subclass in MXML,
however when I try to instantiate the subclass in AS, it comes up
blank when I run the app.

I tried running a trace in the subclass's constructor, and it seems
the constructor is not even being called.

Any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollections as source for charting

[Prabhakar Shenoy]

What Sunil said is abolutely right. but in your case I'll suggest you to do 
this.

chartData = baseArrayCollection.source.slice(stIdx, enIdx);

and bind chartData to your chart, calculate stIdx, enIdx based on thisWeek 
or thisMonth or thisQuarter.


here  I am assuming that baseArrayCollection will have *all* data required for 
*all* charts.

ArrayCollections as source for charting
 




  
 







I am writing a flex application that stores a dataset
in an

arrayCollection called stats. Through use of the application, the

stats:ArrayCollecti on is updated.



One particular state of the application has 3 charts covering stats

for thisWeek, thisMonth and thisQuarter. 



Right now, I have a single chart working and want to add in the other

two. Since the base data for each chart is stored in

stats:ArrayCollecti on what should I use as the dataProvider for each

chart?



Since all the data is inside one ArrayCollection, should I keep a

single array collection then simply make a function for each period

and use the function as the dataProvider? If I do it this way, will

the charts update when the base arrayCollection is changed?



My original thought was to store 3 additional arrayCollection objects,

one for each period and update the correct object when the data

changes. This doesn't seem like the most elegant manner to handle the

situation.



Any advice is appreciated.

[flexcoders] Games in Flex / Apollo?

[Andrew]

I'm working on a new blog that will center around game creation using
Flex and Apollo. So far it seems that everyone has focused on
"traditional" applications using Flex. I'm hoping to shake that up a
bit with not only blogging about Flex-based games but helping to
create some game libraries for Flex. 

I was wondering if anyone here is contemplating doing any game
building using Flex/Apollo.

[flexcoders] Find and replace wih regex?

[b_alen]

I have a huge XML file with complex DTD. Now I have to parse this into
something more usable by stripping the redundant tags and modifying
some of them. I see two options:

1. Recursivly visit all the nodes and handle them with "if" statements.
2. Use RegEx to do some sort of find and replace. 

The second options seems easier and faster if someone can point me in
the right direction. Or maybe some other ideas?

[flexcoders] Re: Will ECMAScript ever support abstract classes?

[b_alen]

Stop that wishfull thinking guys, the list is too long ;) I read
somewhere that abstract classes / functions were meant to be in the
release of AS3 but there was no time to do it for this release. They
had to rewrite the whole engine and we gotta give them some credit for
that. I really hope this will make into the next release.

As for overloading, the way they are handling function parameters at
the moment, I don't think we will be seeing that feature ever. Too bad
for that.

EXCERPT

The Flash Player 9 introduced a newer Action Message Format version called
AMF3. Flex 2 creates ActionScript 3.0 SWF's, but Flash Media Server is still
based on ActionScript 2.0 and the earlier AMF0. By default, the Flex 2
NetConnection class uses AMF3, therefore you must tell the NetConnection
what object encoding to use. There are two ways to do this:

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.objectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;

or

NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;

The first method changes the object encoding for the instantiated object
only, whereas the second method changes the object encoding for all
NetConnections globally. With the NetConnection set to use AMF0, the Flex
application will know how to communicate with the FMS application properly.

I have had this same issue and in some cases I was able to get it to
share the session when I make a get call first and then use the same
URLRequest for the upload. This didn't work for me when I was
uploading to a server different than the server the app was served
from. What I did in that case was basically the same except that the
first request would get a token that I would add to the upload
request. My upload processing servlet then would ignore sessions and
handle the upload based on the token. These tokens would then expire
after a a short time so they couldn't be exploited. We would do other
checks to make sure the remote was the same for both requests as well. 

I don't think this is the best solution however, but it works.

Just to rule it out, what server container are you using? Make sure
that URL rewriting is allowed for session management. I know that
WebSphere does not have this enabled by default. I think that tomcat
and JBoss both do, but you should check. URL rewriting is the method
used to get the session from the url.

I beleive that Adobe wants to increase its participation in 
the software development market. .NET is very good and its number of 
developers is huge. That's why they should not be fogotten. 

This at least is naive.

Adobe has one thing that Microsoft does not have, FLASH. This is the 
key to success if it is well conducted. 

I do not care about politics. I really do not care which is the winner 
Microsoft or Adobe. The winner will be the one that can deploy good and

[flexcoders] Re: Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?

[mvbaffa]

Everybody uses Windows, almost all the workstations are windows. Macs 
have IE working OK. The better solution was a cross plataform 
solution, that's why I've been working with Flex.

I expected, when I downloaded the alpha version of Flex 2.0, that at 
this moment Adobe would already havea .NET solution. But this it not 
true.

So maybe, and just maybe, it´s better to have a IE solution supported 
by a big company, like Microsoft, than to deploy an application 
constructed with Open Source solutions.

I would say that some of this Open Source solutions a very good, 
like, Fluorine, very well conducted by Zoltan. But what we need is a 
solution supported by another big company like Adobe.

[flexcoders] Re: Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?

[mvbaffa]

FDS Express is free provided you use for one application per server 
and the server has only one CPU. 

This is not exactly what I would call free. In fact it seems to me 
that FDS Express was delivered this way to provide a way to develop 
and test applications, which is very good. 

With this kind of license agreement it can not be used in a 
production systems. Because if you need to upgrade your server you 
would pass from zero do US 6K. Or even if you use the same server and 
has two Flex application hosted you would be charged the same way.

The "Big account" maketing and commercial strategy of Adobe is very 
dangerous. Software is tipically constructed by small/medium companies
they are the ones that make things run. 

Remember IBM and its very good products. IBM is mainly devoted to big 
accounts, because of Mainframes, of course. They tried to transport 
this filosophy to Software, we all know what happened.

I hope Adobe knows what it is doing. If they are wrong we will loose 
Flex.

[flexcoders] Re: One Singleton many application

[nxzone]

My getInsttance look like this:

public static function getInstance() : TimelineModelLocator
{
  if ( modelLocator == null ){
modelLocator = new TimelineModelLocator();
  } 
  return modelLocator;
}

I found a solution, i in my first application i create a loadcontext:
#[Bindable]
#public var lc:LoaderContext= new
#LoaderContext(false,flash.system.ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
and when i load i pass this loadercontext to the SWFLoader, it's working:
#

I think now all variable are save in the same context, same root...

[flexcoders] Re: FF and Java sessions

[Paul DeCoursey]

I have had this same issue and in some cases I was able to get it to
share the session when I make a get call first and then use the same
URLRequest for the upload. This didn't work for me when I was
uploading to a server different than the server the app was served
from. What I did in that case was basically the same except that the
first request would get a token that I would add to the upload
request.  My upload processing servlet then would ignore sessions and
handle the upload based on the token.  These tokens would then expire
after a a short time so they couldn't be exploited.  We would do other
checks to make sure the remote was the same for both requests as well. 

I don't think this is the best solution however, but it works.

Just to rule it out, what server container are you using?  Make sure
that URL rewriting is allowed for session management. I know that
WebSphere does not have this enabled by default.  I think that tomcat
and JBoss both do, but you should check.  URL rewriting is the method
used to get the session from the url.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: accessing amf3 remote services using netConnection instead of removteObject

[Peter Farland]

You can listen at three levels...

 
1. At the service level...
 
remoteObject.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, resultHandler);
remoteObject.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, faultHandler);
 
 

2. At the operation/method level...
 
remoteMethod.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, resultHandler);
remoteMethod.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, faultHandler);
 


3. At the invocation level...

var asyncToken:AsyncToken = remoteMethod.send();
var responder:IResponder = new Responder(resultHandler, faultHandler);
asyncToken.addResponder(responder);

(You could also bind to the token.result property, but this doesn't help
with faults).

Hey Hank,

I know you can invoke a remote object and pass the args

We just did this very thing in our data management

Here's some reference code:

// create remote object. 
// notice the placeholder for the DESTINATION_NAME
var channelSet:ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
var channel:Channel = ServerConfig.getChannel( "my-amf"
);
channelSet.addChannel(channel);
var remoteObject:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject(
DESTINATION_NAME );

remoteObject.channelSet = channelSet;

var remoteMethod:AbstractOperation;
// get a reference to the operation. 
remoteMethod=remoteObject.getOperation(

Try this:

The trick is setting mouseEnabled="false" on the Canvas.

same problem):

TabNavigator{
tabStyleName: "tabs";
horizontalGap:0;
}
.tabs{
borderColor:#ff;

Thanks so much. After no one answered earlier in the day I figured there was
just no way to do this. But this is much better than using netConnection.

Dimitrios,

I actually get the same JSESSIONID value when i make an upload  
request to a servlet.
Although i am making a POST request and send vars via the  
URLVariables object.


example:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest 
( config_model.userConfig.datasetUpPath + "/upload" );

var urlVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlVars.id = upload_model.fileID;
urlVars.username = config_model.userConfig.username;
urlVars.password = config_model.userConfig.password;
req.data = urlVars;
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

upload_model.artworkFileRef.upload( req );

[flexcoders] problems with repeater

[Tadas Ziemys]

Hello!

I'm trying to create forum, and the best solution i could think of was
a repeater function. But i stuck with a little problem:
When i create dynamically for example Accordions canvas and in it
DataGrid i cant think of a way to assign every different DataGrid
different dataProvider. Is it somehow possible?
I can think a different solution to this problem:
To have one source for all datagrids, but to form it every time i
change Accordions canvas, but i dont know how to know which one is
selected?

Any tips or suggestions? :)

Sincerely,
Tadas

Re: [flexcoders] Click through a Container

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi Gordon,

I do need as much interactivity as possible :)

Isn't there something like turn shield on or off? I noticed that if you
don't define a background color or alpha, you can interact with the button.

As for the actual WHY question... the answer is: The designer wants it.
It is really not just one button under the translucent piece... it is a part
of the application, and the button and other controls happens to be right
there.

Thanks,
Claudia

RE: [flexcoders] Click through a Container

[Gordon Smith]

I don't think this is easy to do. How much interactivity with the Button
do you actually need? When you roll over the button, do you need it to
highlight? When you click, do you need the button to depress? Or do you
just need the button's click handler to execute?
 
And I'm curious... why do you need to have a translucent Canvas over a
Button?

[flexcoders] How do I load variables from a loaded swf?

[Johannes Boyne]

Hey,

my problem is this:

I have loaded a SWF(Flash9)-File in to my Flex App.
Now I want to load some variables out of the SWF-File, but I 
haven't the faintest idea how to do this on an elegant and 
performance full way.

Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: accessing amf3 remote services using netConnection instead of removteObject

[hank williams]

Hey Mark,

No I am really just trying to create a very compact replacement for
remoteObject. I want to create a single function that can do everything that
remoteObject does with instantiation setting destinations and listeners etc.
The problem is that actually invoking the remote function cant be done with
an args array with remote object.

The reason I want to do all of this is to bottleneck all remoting calls in
this library I am building in one place. It is being ported to an alternate
platform and device and all the remoting stuff is going to have to be
swapped out so I want to have it exist in one place and have all the pieces
of the code that need it to use this one routine. Because of the args issue
above remoteObject doesnt lend itself to this strategy.

[flexcoders] FF and Java sessions

[Dimitrios Gianninas]

As some of you may already know, when performing a file upload with Flex to a 
Java servlet, a new session is created not matching the existing session the 
user has with the server when their Flex app actually loads. 
 
I've read some posts and see that ppl are appending the JSESSIONID to the url 
to get the same session to be used by the server when an upload request is sent 
by a Flex app. By doing:
 
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/billing/servlet/FileSvlt;JSESSIONID=" + 
jSessionId);
 
But this doesnt work for me any reason why? something I am doing wrong?

Does anybody have any example on how to access amf3 remote services, which
need to deal with new concepts like "destination", using a netConnection
call? I am finding that remoteObject doesnt do everything I need.

It's not well documented, but basically you create a NetConnection, set the

[flexcoders] Re: Round corners with Tab Navigator

[scalenine]

Try this:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute">








I just added a white fill color and some padding to the bottom and top
of the tab navigator. The only thing is a small gap in the border on
the left where the TabNav corner curves.

The other thing you could do is create an image to use as the
background with some 9-slice proerties on it that has 3 rounded
corners and one not.

Or check out some custom border components out there that might help
you get the effect your looking for.

[flexcoders] expand tree when selectedItem is changed (Cairngorm)

I have an explorer view with a tree on the left hand side and a list on

[flexcoders] BP=?: 1 ArrayCollection, different selection criteria, same time

[Peter Demling]

I have one ArrayCollection that holds all of the data I've retrieved
from my (RemoteObject) data service, and I need to display it in 2 UI
components, but with different filter conditions at the same time
(e.g., imagine an ArrayCollection of SnackItems, where one DataGrid is
showing you the CandyBars, and the other is showing you the FruitCups
at the same time).

I know I can accomplish this by creating a separate ArrayCollection
for each UI component, and assigning them different filter functions -
but is this best practice?  It seems like I should be able to avoid
copying my data in order to view it in different ways simultaneously.
 Could this involve creating multiple ViewCursors on the same
ArrayCollection?  Or am I overestimating the (performance/memory) cost
of creating multiple ArrayCollections of the same source data?

Thanks for any suggestions!

[flexcoders] Re: Open source Flex (incl. compiler)

[kyle.vanvranken]

To be honest I am not surprised that flex is going open source and was
just talking about this with a friend of mine a day or so ago. I
figured it was only a matter of time. Logically it makes sense and I
think it's a smart move on Adobe's part. In doing so they open up the
doors to developers from all walks to jump in and get their hands
dirty with flex and effectively ramp up development on Flex. This in
turn leads to better adoption of the platform, better components,
integration etc etc. Plus from a business standpoint they're still
making money with FDS and going to increase the demand for said
product with greater adoption of Flex.

All the same kudos and thank you to Adobe!

[flexcoders] Disallowing selection of certain items in datagrid vs. shift-click multi-select

[tsiesser]

I have a datagrid where allowMutipleSelection is true. I'm trying to
disallow selection of certain rows in the grid. I tried hooking into
the ListEvent.CHANGE event and removing disallowed items from the
selectedItems array:

addEventListener(ListEvent.CHANGE, selectionChangeHandler);

private function selectionChangeHandler(event:ListEvent):void
{
var items:Array = new Array();
for each (var item:Object in selectedItems)
{
if (itemIsSelectable(item))
items.push(item);
}
selectedItems = items;
}

private function itemIsSelectable(item:Object):Boolean
{
// determine whether item is selectable...
:
}

This works fine for single-click and ctrl-click selection, but somehow
the very existence of code inside selectionChangeHandler breaks
shift-click selection. What I mean is that if I include the code
above, then if you try to multi-select via shift-click, by the time
you get into selectionChangeHandler, selectedItems contains only a
single item (the starting item). This is before my code has even run!
Yet if you comment out the code inside the handler, shift-click works
normally. 

I *think* this looks like a timing issue since if I run in debug mode
and single-step all the way through mouseDownHandler (all the way up
the superclass chain to ListBase), then shift-click is okay.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work? Or
alternatively, another way to disallow selection of particular items?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Round corners with Tab Navigator

[iko_knyphausen]

Hello,

I am trying to use rounded corners (cornerRadius) on a tab navigator.
Unfortunately it also rounds the upper left corner of the first canvas
which makes it unsightly. One could use paddingLeft to move the tabs a
little to the right, but that doesn't look to great either. One could
"underlay" the tab navigator at the upper left corner with a
mini-canvas, but that only works, if you have no border. I need a solid
border...

Has anyone come up with a good solution for this?

Thanks a mill..

RE: [flexcoders] Question on Ely's SuperImage Component

[Mike Anderson]

Thanks Ely!
 
My thoughts exactly :)
 
I just wanted to ask you first, before investing time into an alternate
solution.
 
That xOffset and yOffset would be a pretty cool addition to your future
versions of SuperImage.
 
Either way, you did a WONDERFUL job on this component. Just adding the
Border and DropShadow properties, you increased the value of SuperImage
versus the standard Image Component, by 10-fold...
 
Thank you for sharing this component with the community, as well as
everything else you've put out there.  You are a very good programmer -
I can tell just by examining your source-code - it's well thought out,
clean, easy to read and most important, quite functional.
 
Take care and thank you :)

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Question on Ely's SuperImage Component



 

 

Hi Mike. There is a _content property in the SuperImage, which is
essentially the same as the Image.content property. However, the
SuperImage actively maintains the size and position of the content, so I
don't think you can guarantee that changes you make to its position will
stick.  

 

So, two options:

 

1)  Grab the source, and make the modifications you need. An
'offset' might be a nice property to add, and something we could
integrate back into the main source.

2)  Wrap the Super Image in a Canvas. And move the SUperImage around
inside the canvas instead.

 

Ely.

I know there are lots of people using this, so I wanted to ask if this
component can perform some functions that the standard Image Component
can do.

With the standard Flex Image Component, I can move the Content around
inside the container, independent of the container itself. I do this
quite often, if I have an Image that is quite large - and has a lot of
extraneous background stuff that I don't want to be displayed.

With the Flex Image, I size & place the container where I need it to be
- then I move & scale the Content around within the container - in order
to show only the parts that I want.

The SuperImage Component doesn't have a Content Property - so this leads
me to believe, that I can't perform the same functions as the Image.

Is this the right assumption to make? If so, does anybody have any
further ideas, on how I can get more control over the content when using
the SuperImage?

Thanks in advance, for any information offered on this topic.

Mike

The SDK was already free.  The QTP plugin is not considered part of the
move to open source at this time.

[flexcoders] Re: datagrid cell renderers

[blc187]

thanks for the suggestion manish
do you have an example of this working?

from what i can figure, it looks as though the sprite is just a 
template for the row to fill a shape the same shape as whatever the 
sprite is.
it looks like the same one gets reused for each row and just shifted 
down, as when i attach anything to it, they just get shifted down as 
the grid draws more rows and everything is attached to the same sprite.

RE: [flexcoders] Question on Ely's SuperImage Component

[Ely Greenfield]

 

 

Hi Mike. There is a _content property in the SuperImage, which is
essentially the same as the Image.content property. However, the
SuperImage actively maintains the size and position of the content, so I
don't think you can guarantee that changes you make to its position will
stick.  

 

So, two options:

 

1)  Grab the source, and make the modifications you need. An
'offset' might be a nice property to add, and something we could
integrate back into the main source.

2)  Wrap the Super Image in a Canvas. And move the SUperImage around
inside the canvas instead.

 

Ely.

How are all of you. Well I am new to Flex. But I have started building

with XML and Button. Can  you please assist me in this. I am explaining
my problem:
 
I have an external XML file like this:


   0
   General Health
   General Health pages is currently under construction


   1
   Mental Health
   Mental Health pages is currently under construction


 
Now I want to generate Buttons Dynamically from this XML. And the second
thing which is the most problematic is that how I code it so that when I
press the Button labled "General Health", it will show the same text as
in the XML tag coresponding to tag "General Health" ?
I badly need this. I am realy confused on this. Kindly help me.

[flexcoders] Replacement of Resize Effect

[Matt]

After dealing with the frustrations of the Resize effect for too long
I decided to write my own replacement to it that works the way I would
expect Resize should.

Major distinctions are support for resizing with percentages and
supports the ability to resize one direction (width or height) with a
different type (pixel or percentage) than the other.

Here's the code:

package jsl {
import mx.effects.IEffectInstance;
import mx.effects.TweenEffect;

public class Resize extends TweenEffect {
public function Resize(target:Object = null) {
super(target);
instanceClass = ResizeInstance;
}

[Inspectable(defaultValue=null)]
public var widthFrom:Number;

[Inspectable(defaultValue=null)]
public var heightFrom:Number;

[Inspectable(defaultValue=null)]
public var widthTo:Number;

[Inspectable(defaultValue=null)]
public var heightTo:Number;

[Inspectable(defaultValue=null)]
public var widthType:String;

[Inspectable(defaultValue=null)]
public var heightType:String;

override protected function
initInstance(instance:IEffectInstance):void {
super.initInstance(instance);
var effectInstance:ResizeInstance = 
ResizeInstance(instance);
effectInstance.widthFrom = widthFrom;
effectInstance.heightFrom = heightFrom;
effectInstance.widthTo = widthTo;
effectInstance.heightTo = heightTo;
effectInstance.widthType = widthType;
effectInstance.heightType = heightType;
}
}
}

package jsl {
import mx.effects.effectClasses.AnimatePropertyInstance;
import mx.effects.effectClasses.TweenEffectInstance;

public class ResizeInstance extends TweenEffectInstance {
public var widthFrom:Number;
public var heightFrom:Number;
public var widthTo:Number;
public var heightTo:Number;
public var widthType:String;
public var heightType:String;

private var widthEffect:AnimatePropertyInstance;
private var heightEffect:AnimatePropertyInstance;

public function ResizeInstance(target:Object) {
super(target);
}

override public function play():void {
super.play();
initializeProperties();
if (widthEffect != null) widthEffect.play();
if (heightEffect != null) heightEffect.play();
}

protected function initializeProperties():void {
if ((!isNaN(widthTo)) && (widthType != 'auto')) {
widthEffect = new 
AnimatePropertyInstance(target);
widthEffect.duration = duration;
widthEffect.repeatCount = repeatCount;
widthEffect.repeatDelay = repeatDelay;
widthEffect.startDelay = startDelay;
widthEffect.easingFunction = easingFunction;
if (widthType == 'pixel') {
widthEffect.property = 'width';
} else if (widthType == 'percentage') {
widthEffect.property = 'percentWidth';
} else {
Logger.log('Unknown Width Property: ' + 
widthType);
}
if (!isNaN(widthFrom)) {
widthEffect.fromValue = widthFrom;
} else if ((widthType == 'percentage') &&
(isNaN(target['percentWidth']))) {
// Trying to change percentage but a 
percentage is not currently
determined
var pW:Object = target['parent'];
if (pW != null) {
widthEffect.fromValue = 
(target['width'] / pW['width']) * 100;
}
}
widthEffect.toValue = widthTo;
}
if ((!isNaN(heightTo)) && (heightType != 'auto')) {
  

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Goes Open Source

[David Mendels]

YES!
 
This is going to be part of Flex 3.  We are hard at work on Flex 3--code
named "Moxie".  Expect a public beta this summer.  The change is that
for the SDK (which is free already), it will be open source, with a
public bugbase and the ability for folks outside Adobe to participate in
the process. 
 
Flex Builder 3 and Data Services remain commercial products.  No change
there.
 
We are doubling down on our investment and committment to Flex.

[flexcoders] Problem using a subclass of ComboBox in actionscript

[johnknyc]

Hi all,

I created a AS subclass of ComboBox. I can use the subclass in MXML,
however when I try to instantiate the subclass in AS, it comes up
blank when I run the app.

I tried running a trace in the subclass's constructor, and it seems
the constructor is not even being called.

Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Flickr and Flex Implementation

[Jurgen Beck]

I am working on a photo gallery app that is supposed to access private 
images from a Flickr account. While it's pretty straight forward 
accessing publicly viewable images from a Flickr user or account, there 
seems to be a big problem with accessing private images AND keep 
everything user friendly.

Here is what I am finding:

When using the Flex Flickr API, I get stuck with displaying a separate 
window to authorize the Flex application to access the private images. 
That's not the fault of the API, but rather a way Flickr is implementing 
their authorization scheme.

 From a user's perspective, this of course is silly for two reasons: 
Number one, why having a RIA that keeps everything integrated and then 
going outside of the web application to authorize access, and secondly, 
this exposes the Flickr account in the secondary browser window, which I 
definitely don't want.

I thought I had found a workaround by simply just calling the 
authorization URL in a URLLoader like this:

var auth_url:String = flickrService.getLoginURL( 
frob, AuthPerm.READ );
   
 var loginLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var loginRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(auth_url);
   

loginLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loginRequestComplete);

loginLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,loginSecurityError);

   

In the loginRequestComplete method I then proceed to getting the frob.

This works PERFECT on my local machine. I don't have to pop up a 
separate browser window to authorize the application with Flickr and 
everything proceeds to load the private images in the Flex application.

However, moving this to the web site, I get the dreaded security error 
that states that the application cannot access data from the Flickr URL.

I looked at the URLs. Here is what I find:

auth_url in the above code snippet will start with 
http://api.flickr.com/services/auth/?api_key=..., targeting the 
api.flickr.com, for which Flickr has set up a crossdomain.xml file. 
However, to check what's happening with the authorization process I use 
the auth_url n a browser window and find that there is a redirect that 
happens back to a URL of http://www.flickr.com/services/auth/?api_key=...

This means that my security error is triggered, because we are getting a 
response back from the flickr.com domain and not the api.flickr.com 
domain, at least that's what I assume is happening.

So, long write up and short question:

Has anyone made this work? What I am essentially after is a way to get 
to the private images through the Flex Flickr API without having to 
display the Flickr authorization window.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Jurgen

m_uploadFileList is an array collection of FileReference objects. How

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm, is this suitable as Cairngorm "event"

Imay be a little late here, but no, its not only for calling backend. Anytime 
you want encapsulate some UI logic, put it in a command. Even if it just to

Subject: [flexcoders] Cairngorm, is this suitable as Cairngorm "event"



Hi all,

Wondering if the Cairngorm events are supposed to be only events that
need backend comunication.

Situation now is that I have a Model, which contains e.g.
"SelectedObject". I use this var to store the selected object by users
in the interface.

No problems so far. But now I want to be able to let the user "clear"
that selectedobject. I am tempted to just use
AppModel.SelectedObject=null in a view. But the thought is running in
my head that it might be neater to create a
"SelectedObjectClearedEvent" and attach a command to that which
contains the logic if it is possible to clear it.

Question in the bigger picture is this: Are cairngorm events "as is"
supposed to be used only when there is a "I want to call backend"-
event? Or are View related events (or any other events in that matter)
supposed to be Cairngorm events too?

And on top of that, how do you (Cairngorm users out there) give your
other events a place in your structure?

For example, my model also dispatches a custom event which has nothing
to do with the backend. I use it to listen to any changes in a
Collection (Default ArrayCollection events didn't do the trick).

Tx in advance,
Ben

[flexcoders] Re: ZLIB compression standard within Flex (Flash)??

It took a day for this post to show up on Yahoo, and in the meantime 
I have resolved the issue.  Turns out that I was passing a WideString 
from a windows server to Flex (also on Windows).  But the char sets 
must have been different (utf-8 vs ASCII), so the compressed string 
was misunderstood at trhe client (Flex app).

I pass the string as HexString now and it works fine, will switch to 
Byte Stream soon.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Goes Open Source

[Dave Carabetta]

Most definitely. In fact, outside of the bug base being made public in the
June timeframe along with some other infrastructure enhancements, you're
probably not going to be a whole lot change until after Flex 3 (aka "Moxie")
is released in the second half of this year. I say that because Adobe
employees will still be the sole "committers" of any changes to the SDK
through the end of the Flex 3 release cycle, so while you'll be able to
contribute before then, it's not guaranteed to make it into the Flex 3
release.

Definitely take some time and read the links below, as it's going to be
really easy for one slight mis-statement on these types of forums to skew
the reality of this announcement (including any made by me!):

[flexcoders] KeyBoardEvents - Flex can't hide control key sequences from Internet Explorer

[fuad_kamal]

If anyone has a solution that doesn't involve JavaScript in the html
wrapper I'd love to hear it...


The problem is, Internet Explorer interprets control-key sequences
(such as ctrl-r which reloads the browser window) regardless of
whether your flex app captures the keystrokes or not, regardless of
whether you setFocus() or not.  The keystrokes still bubble to the
browser.  I have tested this both in Firefox and IE7, in Firefox the
swf captures the control sequences without disturbing the browser, in
IE7 the swf also captures the control sequences, but the browser also
reacts to them which can be disastrous from the perspective of the
application.

This note from Adobe makes me think they have not come up with a
simple fix for this yet:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=events_054_21.html

The only solution right now seems to be using JS in the wrapper to
modify the browser behavior.  Here are the related leads I've found so
far:

http://santrajan.blogspot.com/2007/03/cross-browser-keyboard-handler.html

http://www.colettas.org/?p=69

I'd be happy to hear if anyone else has a better solution.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: yahoomaps POI marker click event, htmltext asfunction

[Michael Wills]

Hi there Anupam,

Actually I figured out a way yesterday. The asfunction link calls a 
function in the map which then triggers an event in the AS2 map which is 
passed through a new EIBuffer.addCall which is received by a new event 
handler in MapEventDispatcher.as. The string parameter of the asfunction 
is passed through as a data object and used in Flex and every thing is 
dandy. The only limitation I ran into was the length of text usable with 
asfunction. I believe I saw somewhere that it was 116 characters as a 
limit because of hrefs in general, but it's OK. It works now. :-P

Many thanks!

Michael

[flexcoders] How can I do the kind of DRM in Adobe Media Player in my own app

[hank williams]

Is this possible? are there special API's for the DRM related stuff in
Apollo? Can I do this kind of thing with audio only (mp3) instead of FLV?

Thanks
Hank

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Goes Open Source

[Jim Grinsfelder]

So, will Adobe still make/sell Flex 3?

[flexcoders] Re: yahoomaps POI marker click event, htmltext asfunction

[anupam_111181]

Hi All,
I was just googleing the "asfunction" and found this link

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/migration.html

See that asfunction is not supported in Action Script 3.0 and the Flex
2.0 is using Flash 9 which in turn using AS3 so i think its not that
straight forward to write asfunction and handling the event..

Although yahoo map component is written in as2 but we are consuming it
in as3.. My instinct says that there will be some other way that we
can handle the link click event..
Working on it..
Keep u posted
Cheers!

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Goes Open Source

[Christian Gruber]

This is great, however, because even if it won't rule the world,  
it'll be a LOT easier to implement the flex2 maven plugin with an  
open source compiler.  We should be able to make something that  
builds flex without having to pre-install the flex system.  The  
current approach is fine, but annoying for setup.

Christian.

[flexcoders] using remoteObject with a parameter array

[hank williams]

 I am trying to figure out how to use remoteObject in such a way that the
parameters passed to the remote function come from an argument array as
shown below. What is the appropriate way to do this?

Hank

 function asynchGet(type:String,
  destination:String,
  funcName:String,
  resultHandler:Function,
  faultHandler:Function,
  argArray:Array):void{

   var ro:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject();
   ro.destination = destination;

  // can I do this below line?
   ro["funcName"].addEventListener("result",resultHandler);

   ro.addEventListener("fault", faultHandler);

  // I know the below line isnt right but am trying to
figure out what is
ro["funcName"].apply(argArray);
   }

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Goes Open Source

[Brian Lesser]

LOL, I hope not... world domination seems a little extreme for a 
compiler, debugger, component framework and the other bits and pieces...

The discussion has been interesting though. I really like the idea that 
developers could weave their own components into the framework:

See Ryan Stewart: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Stewart/?p=353

But what interests me most is how Adobe will go open source but still 
retain control as they gradually allow people outside the company to run 
with "sub projects" within the Flex system. (Again see Ryan's article.)

I hope taking Flex open source is a huge success because I'd like to see 
Adobe do something similar with the player. (To "RULE THE WORLD" in 
Greg's terms?) My guess (and I really don't know) is that many people in 
Adobe can't imagine how they would take the player open source in a 
meaningful way. It is a highly optimized and size-constrained piece of 
code. For example one question would be how could Adobe begin to provide 
the community with a way to own sub projects?

One tantalizing possible answer is for Adobe to look at re-engineering 
the player to adopt an extension mechanism of some type. The strategy is 
risky because no one wants an Acrobat player experience for Flash but it 
could solve a lot of problems. There was a fitc session that I couldn't 
attend where I understand the Flash player group asked for comments on 
what to put into the player in the future. I imagine there were all 
sorts of requests like hardware accelerated 3D, screen sharing, and 
better video codecs. It's hard for Adobe to add those sorts of things 
quickly without a player extension mechanism. It's probably impossible 
for them to keep the player size small and add many of the big important 
things designers and developers want.

So it seems there are a lot of good drivers for going with introducing a 
more extensible/modular architecture for the player:

1.it provides an opportunity for real participation in an eventual 
open source initiative for the player
2.the player becomes more agile (and therefore competitive) with 
smaller extensions coming out in-between major player upgrade cycles
3.Adobe can add newer more powerful features to the player without 
bloating the initial download size much more. Extensions would have to 
download once as needed.

There are probably a lot of reasons folks inside Adobe know about for 
not doing this that I'm not aware of. For example another thing no one 
wants to see is a Windows Media Player experience where the player 
announces it can't find the right codec to play your video. But if those 
things could be overcome this note is my personal request to Adobe to 
continue the process you started with AS3 and make it happen for the 
player too.

Cheers,
-Brian

[flexcoders] Flex 1.5/Flash Remoting Gateway Problem

[oiland_barry]

Hi,

It's been a while since I posted on the group, I've been lucky
enough to not have many big problems while developing with Flex in the
past 6 months!

But last week whilst testing a significant section of my flex
application, it was discovered that the flash client was having problems
receiving a result from the flash remoting gateway on certain occasions.

This is a BIG problem, especially as I am coming to the end of the
contract with my employer, and I'm trying to get the project wrapped up
for next week!

I am developing in Flex 1.5 (using remote objects to consume the
Coldfusion CFCs), with Coldfusion MX 7.0.2 running in the back end, and
MS SQL 2005 (although i dont think the databse is anything to do with
the problem), on a Windows Server 2003 SP2 server.

I have ruled out a number of issues that I believe could be the problem,
including:

   Network connections (the flash client can communicate with the server
no problem, initially!)

   Coldfusion (the CFC method is being invoked successfully, and
returning the result to - I dump the result to a html log file)

   Flash Remoting Gateway (The log files confirm that the gateway
completes sending the result back to the )

   Flash Client (I have tried replicating the steps followed on a number
of different client machines, all fail at the same point)

When the Flex application initially loads, it invokes 23 methods in the
Coldfusion CFC, which returns all the results with no problem.

The user then adds some data to the form on the flash client (the Flex
application).  The form contains a combo box that the user selects a
category from.  When the category changes, a CFC method is invoked (one
of the 23 that was invoked only moments earlier), which returns a
Boolean value, to check if the category has any sub categories.

>From time to time (and more often than not) when this method is invoked,
the flash client just sits idle with the timer icon spinning around (it
is waiting for a response from the flash remoting gateway).

I have checked the flash remoting gateway log files, and the result is
being returned by the gateway.  It seems that the flash client is not
receiving the response.

There are many other sections in the application where flex/flash
clients consume Coldfusion CFC's, again they can be temperamental and
hang, waiting for a response indefinitely!

I believe my Flex application is ok, as it successfully invokes the CFC
method without any problems; it just seems to hang on certain occasions.
Maybe the flash remoting gateway is not correctly configured?

I also thought it might be a http connection issue with the server, but
as far as i know, the CFCs are invoked, the result is sent back, and the
http connection is closed.

I also thought it might have been a session-based issue with the
Coldfusion CFCs, but i think i have ruled that out.

If anyone could help me I would be in serious debt to them!  As I said I
am coming to the end of this project and I don't need this problem
right now.  I have tired ruling out every possibility, but to no end can
I find the source of the problem.

Regards,

Barry

p.s. here is a dump of the flash remoting gateway log when the flex
application is first loaded in the browser, and the result of the first
CFC method invocation...
