[flexcoders] Re: how do I know which object I need to expand?

[TJ Downes]

Thanks Alex

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. I would not how to get to the top level
objects, but what about the sub-level objects? Say I dont know how
many levels the collection is nested?

Let's say this is my function:

private function expandTree(event:CollectionEvent):void {
if(event.kind == CollectionEventKind.REFRESH) {
var parentItems:XMLList = 
sessionsByDateTree.dataProvider.children();

doExpand(parentItems);

function doExpand(items:XMLList):void {
var len:int = items.length();

// loop through collection backwards
for (var i:int = len-1; i >= 0; i--) {
var childList:XMLList = 
items[i].children();
 
 //sessionsByDateTree.expandChildrenOf(*what 
object am i
passing in?*, true);

//if this node has children, let's recurse!
if (childList.length() > 0) {
doExpand(childList);
}
}
}
}


as you can see, my recursor is completely ignorant of what level it is
currently in. Will I need to track that?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: how do I know which object I need to expand?

[Alex Harui]

Each top-level object in the XMLList should be in the Tree.

Sorry, that may have been a bit vague. I want to expand every node in
the tree. So, as i am iterating recursively, how do i dynamically
determine the node in the tree matching the node i am currently
iterating over?

 

Re: [flexcoders] Hyperlink in flex.

[Tom Preet]

Hi Venkat,

use the URL Navigator control for ex:

  var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest("x.mxml");
   navigateToURL(u, "_self");

for the Image Click event ok.

Bye..

[flexcoders] Re: Capturing RollOver events in a loaded swf that has it own actionscript.

[essuark]

Actually I did figure it out. I dynamically created a box component 
the size of the swf and inserted at the beginning of the child list. 
That way the box component get the mouseout, mousedown, etc events

Re: [flexcoders] Use a CSS file in Flex

[Peter Connolly]

Here are two inline examples from Chapter 18 of the Flex Developer's Guide:



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

.myFontStyle {
fontSize: 15;
color: #9933FF;
}




The following example defines a new style that applies to all
instances of the Button class:



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

Button {
fontSize: 15;
color: #9933FF;
}




An external CSS file would be used in the same fashion.

[flexcoders] open source flex xml mp3 player

[jensen.axel]

Finally it's here...OPEN SOURCE FLEX XML MP3 PLAYER
Flex xml mp3 player

Basically you can specify an xml playlist from the url, and have it play
whatever is in the playlist…

The links for the examples are on the right side.

You can also specify the playlist in the url if you'd like:

http://axel.cfwebtools.com/Examples/xspfPlayer/bin/xmlPlayer.cfm?playlis\
t%5Furl=http://killtheheart.com/playlist.xml


here are the variables you can use:

* playlist_url : the url of the xspf file to load
* repeat_playlist : boolean value that make the repeats the playlist
after the end
* song_url : String the href location of a single song you want to
play, when this is used playlist_url is ignored
* song_title : the name of the song you want to use

The music player can also be used to play single mp3 files instead of
playlists, the parameters are:

* song_url : the url of the single mp3 you want to play
* song_title : the text to replace the players default's

and you could even create a custom playlist on your site (this link
doesn't work it's an example) http://flexcoders.nl/someplaylist.xml




and as long as it was in the right format, it's all good….



here is the format
http://axel.cfwebtools.com/Examples/xspfPlayer/bin/data.xml


right click and view source to actually copy and paste xml...



It's loosely based on the xspf (`spiff') standard, it's
an open source shareable playlist format…

Here is the documentation on it:

[flexcoders] Weird WebService Problem

[Ben]

In my Flex Application MXML file I call a function called init() on
the creationComplete event.  creationComplete="init();"  In the init()
function a WebService's wsdl property is set to the URL for my CFC. 
After the property is set I call a function on my service
(service.getBlah();) but the request is never sent.  However, if I set
the WebService wsdl on the WebService MXML tag before I compile my
program, the request is sent.

I'm not sure what could be the problem here.  It seems that there
might be some time after the wsdl is set in which requests cannot be sent.

Does anyone know?  Thanks in advance!

[flexcoders] Announce: Flex UndoRedo Framework for Cairngorm

[kaleb_pederson]

Hello all,

We (Soph-Ware Associates) have just released an Open Source 
Undo/Redo Framework for Flex.  It integrates tightly with Cairngorm 
and allows for an unlimited number of Undo/Redo events (which in 
turn fire undoable Cairngorm Commands).

The Flex UndoRedo Framework is lightweight and can usually be used 
with existing command classes without any necessary changes.

For more information, see the following links:

http://blogs.soph-ware.com/?p=5
http://code.google.com/p/flexundoredo/

And as everybody loves examples:

http://blogs.soph-ware.com/posted-content/files/undoredo/CairnCalc/

We'd love to hear from you, so if you have comments or suggestions 
please let us know!

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Moxie caching flash player mac os x?

[aaron smith]

I'm having some strange behavior with the flash player and browsers. I wrote
this tool "plugout." http://www.adakasoft.com/?page_id=3  to switch flash
player versions..

The tool works on every mac I run it on. But for some reason the one machine
I have moxie on, the browsers don't pickup a new player.

Try these steps (these should all work fine if you don't have moxie):

--first get plugout -> http://www.adakasoft.com/?page_id=3
--install it (./install.sh)
--run this: "plugout -v 8.0.35 -b firefox" (this will install player
8.0.35and start firefox in rosetta)
--now go to a flash site (i always hit vw.com). Right click on the flash
content. You should see Player 8.
--now go to (
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507) you
should see you have 8.0.35 installed.

If you did all that successfully that means it's fine..

Now on my one machine that I have moxie on. I have one difference in this
process. I do all of the above, but when I right click on flash content it
says player 9. And when I go to the adobe version checker, it says I have
8.0.35.

What's going on? Where is it picking up 9?

Thanks for any help

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Drag Multiple items with the dragManager

[Alex Harui]

It is overly complicated because there's lots of flexibility built-in.
Panel dragging does not use DragManager because it doesn't need that
flexibility.  You probably don't either and could steal the code from
Panel.

ok, so as I understand it from your advise, I would dynamically
re-create the items I want to 
"look" like the user is dragging in a canvas, and arrange the items the
same way they are on 
the screen, pass them to the doDrag method as the dragProxy, then hide
the dragInitiator 
(and other selected items) then just pass this information (what has
been selected) in the 
dragSource?

Sounds like a plan. Seems overly complicated to do such a simple task as
dragging items 
from one container to another, or moving items around on the screen. Oh
well, I will do what 
needs to be done. 

Thanks for the help. Any other tips and advice out there? Anything I''m

Quick follow-up question:

 

Since we are storing the state of the item renderer in a property of the
data object, which event would be best used to make sure the state is
restored when the specific item comes back into view?

Renderers are recycled.  Only as many renderers that you can see are
created regardless of how many items in your data provider.  So, one
renderer can end up having to render various items in the dataprovider.

Subject: [flexcoders] List Component: Working with Collapsed and
Expanded ItemRenderer

 

I am experiencing something mildly strange with the List component 
when using a custom item renderer that has two states, a collapsed 
state and an expanded state.

When I have one or more item renderers in the expanded state, the 
List component eventually will display the vertical scrollbar. Here 
is the strange part:

When using the scrollbar to scroll through the list, the original 
expanded item renderers that would normally disappear with their 
expanded state from the visual range of the list get collapsed and 
new list items that have not been expanded do so in their place.

As I am not forcing this behavior my thinking is that the List 
component is either missing a property setting to prevent this 
behavior, or this may be either a bug, or simply by design.

Anyone with some more info on this?

Thanks,

I have not used AIR, so not sure I will be much help there.  But... I 
thought it included an HTML component that would allow you to open your 
destination URL within the flex app.  If so, then it seems you would be 
in complete control of the "browser".  But, not at all sure about this...

RE: [flexcoders] List Component: Working with Collapsed and Expanded ItemRenderer - Solution

[Jurgen Beck]

I'm documenting this here for others who may be struggling with this:

It has been suggested to use a VBox and simply just add children to  
it based on items in the dataprovider. That's a great approach and  
would have been my  workaround. However, Alex was giving enough  
pointers to implement the solution based on storing the expanded and  
collapsed state in the data object.


This can be easily done by overriding the data property of the item  
renderer and using a 'collapsed' property to restore the state of the  
item renderer.


So, here is an example:

override public function set data(value:Object):void {
super.data = value;
if (value.collapsed) {
currentState = "Closed";
} else {
currentState = "Open";
}
// Dispatch the dataChange event.
dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));
}

Use the following to switch the state:

private function switchOpenState():void {
if (currentState == "Closed") {
currentState = "Open";
data.collapsed = false;
} else {
currentState = "Closed";
data.collapsed = true;
}   
}

 I'm working with states and transitions, but this can be used in  
other ways as well. The other piece would be to use a function to  
switch the collapsed state and then setting the data.collapsed  
property. Changing the state causes a sequence of events that will  
eventually evaluate the data.collapsed property of each item renderer  
and restore it to its proper state should the user scroll through the  
list or interact with it in any other way.


Hope this helps,

Jurgen

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Mock objects in AS3

Hey Dave and Adam,


That way a quick reply i sent yesterday without much thought.
Currently to convert a generic object to a typed instance i've been  
using a utility provided by Darron Schall.

http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000247.cfm

basically the method looks like this,

public static function objectToInstance( object:Object, clazz:Class ):*
{
var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
bytes.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;

// Find the objects and byetArray.writeObject them, adding in 
the
		// class configuration variable name -- essentially, we're  
constructing

// and AMF packet here that contains the class information so 
that
// we can simplly byteArray.readObject the sucker for the 
translation

// Write out the bytes of the original object
var objBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
objBytes.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
objBytes.writeObject( object );

// Register all of the classes so they can be decoded via AMF
var typeInfo:XML = describeType( clazz );
		var fullyQualifiedName:String = [EMAIL PROTECTED]().replace 
( /::/, "." );

registerClassAlias( fullyQualifiedName, clazz );

		// Write the new object information starting with the class  
information

var len:int = fullyQualifiedName.length;
		bytes.writeByte( 0x10 );  // 0x10 is AMF0 for "typed object (class  
instance)"

bytes.writeUTF( fullyQualifiedName );
// After the class name is set up, write the rest of the object
bytes.writeBytes( objBytes, 1 );

// Read in the object with the class property added and return 
that
bytes.position = 0;

// This generates some ReferenceErrors of the object being 
passed in
		// has properties that aren't in the class instance, and generates  
TypeErrors
		// when property values cannot be converted to correct values (such  
as false
		// being the value, when it needs to be a Date instead).  However,  
these
		// errors are not thrown at runtime (and only appear in trace ouput

var result:* = bytes.readObject();
return result;
}

Bjorn,

I have been looking at this (as I would like a mocking framework for
Flex too) this evening and I've had no luck either.

The the registerClassAlias() does add the alias to a given class I
can't then get anything to accept it as being of that type
- I'm not sure what the alias is, but dumping the describeType()
results shows it as an alias property on the type and not as an
implementsInterface node, which is what we need.

I may not have been fully understood what registerClassAlias though.

But it looks (ok, it's late and I'm tired so it may just be that which
is causing my negativity) as if trying to get a class to implement an
interface (or at least appear to implement an interface) dynamically
at run time is a futile effort.

Any thoughts?

[flexcoders] Re: Drag Multiple items with the dragManager

[joshuagatcke]

ok, so as I understand it from your advise, I would dynamically re-create the 
items I want to 
"look" like the user is dragging in a canvas, and arrange the items the same 
way they are on 
the screen, pass them to the doDrag method as the dragProxy, then hide the 
dragInitiator 
(and other selected items) then just pass this information (what has been 
selected) in the 
dragSource?

Sounds like a plan. Seems overly complicated to do such a simple task as 
dragging items 
from one container to another, or moving items around on the screen. Oh well, I 
will do what 
needs to be done. 

Thanks for the help. Any other tips and advice out there? Anything I''m 
missing? 

[flexcoders] Effect on VBox with Repeater...

[qnotemedia]

Stupid question here probably, but I've been struggling with effects 
and generally doing visual design in Flex.

OK - I have Vbox.  Within it is a repeater.  The component repeated is 
just a line of text and an image.  I have rollOver and rollOut styles 
applied that will "highlight" the text by making the backgroundalpha of 
the component 0-1 and the text changes color.

However, I would like to have an effect that fades out the entire Vbox 
and its children, including the repeater and all of its repeated 
components, and fade back in.  When I apply the sequenced effect 
(animate alpha property on the VBox) it only fades in/out the single 
highlighted repeated item.  How come?

[flexcoders] Re: Open Source Java Remoting : Mapping complex Structure

[tomeuchre]

If that is all you thought Granite was good for, you missed the big 
picture. Granite IS open source remoting!

With Granite I can have it both ways: Flex compile at design time OR 
runtime, AND let it handle the remoting with AMF3 
serialization/deserialization.

I built my Flex app two ways:
1) Remotely with Flex Builder, with compiler that references the 
services-config.xml in my web app so it can pair the endpoints and 
destinations.
2) integrated with Grantite/FlexTasks in my web app completely.

You can do EITHER (can you tell that I am becoming a Granite 
evangelist?)
I am convinced.

RE: [flexcoders] Unable to Expand a Tree programatically..

[Tracy Spratt]

No, since you have just assigned the dataProvider, you need to give the
Tree a chance to render before calling visually oriented methods.

 

Use callLater to call the expand node code.

RE: [flexcoders] LCDS/Hibernate DataServices Issue

[Jeff Vroom]

Do you have association tags (i.e. one-to-many) defined for the
collectionb and collectionc properties?  If you do not have an explicit
association tag defined, DMS uses the "hierarchical values" mode where
it still detect changes but treats that entire property more like a
"blob" which gets sent to/from the server in its entirety on each
operation.  It will not ensure that there is only one instance for each
identity so you can easily get aliasing problems.  In order to ensure
one instance for each identity, we need to know the identity property
for the instances in collectionb and c so that we can do the mapping
properly.

Subject: [flexcoders] LCDS/Hibernate DataServices Issue

 

Hello,

We've recently encountered a problem on a project I'm working on.  We
are using the Data Management Services to managed all of our persisted
objects.  It connects to our database via a customized Hibernate
assembler.  The issue we are seeing is that we have a series of
collections that point to each other and the references aren't being
maintained properly throughout the system. 

Example:

Each item in collectiona, has two properties collectionb and
collectionc.
The items in collectionc have a reference to an item in collectionb.

var itemB:Object = collectionb.getItemAt(0); 
var refItemB:object = collectionc.getItemAt(0).referenceToB;
itemB.id == refItemB.id

If at this point I make a change to itemB the corresponding object
refItemB is not changed.  They are identical objects on the server and
should always be the same on the client.  I can refresh my client and
the differences in the objects are still present.  It is not until I
close the session and re-login that refItemB is updated properly. 

Any thoughts on what we might be doing wrong or need to adjust?  Thanks,

I am experiencing something mildly strange with the List component

When I have one or more item renderers in the expanded state, the
List component eventually will display the vertical scrollbar. Here
is the strange part:

When using the scrollbar to scroll through the list, the original
expanded item renderers that would normally disappear with their
expanded state from the visual range of the list get collapsed and
new list items that have not been expanded do so in their place.

As I am not forcing this behavior my thinking is that the List

Re: [flexcoders] How to hide browser address bar and tool bar with navigateToURL()?

[Scott - FastLane]

Not sure if you can do all of that from within flex... but you can 
certainly do it via JavaScript's window.open() method.  If you want to 
do it that way you will need to make a call to ExternalInterface.call() 
to call the JS method on the HTML page that contains your swf.

I had the same issue with the player on Shilliber.com. Exact same use
case. I think the guy who programmed it up ended up using a VBox.

I use the same Directory Structure on my Development, Testing and

Unless there have been some recent changes, the AIR HTML component only
supports Flash Player and PDF embedded content.  No java applets or activex

Subject: [flexcoders] List Component: Working with Collapsed and  
Expanded ItemRenderer




I am experiencing something mildly strange with the List component
when using a custom item renderer that has two states, a collapsed
state and an expanded state.

When I have one or more item renderers in the expanded state, the
List component eventually will display the vertical scrollbar. Here
is the strange part:

When using the scrollbar to scroll through the list, the original
expanded item renderers that would normally disappear with their
expanded state from the visual range of the list get collapsed and
new list items that have not been expanded do so in their place.

As I am not forcing this behavior my thinking is that the List
component is either missing a property setting to prevent this
behavior, or this may be either a bug, or simply by design.

Anyone with some more info on this?

Thanks,

Jurgen

RE: [flexcoders] String concat in MXML (with using @Resource)

Binding is the only way to "declaratively" set up expressions that get

You can use script as well:

Subject: [flexcoders] String concat in MXML (with using @Resource)

 

Hi all,

I have a simple question regarding text values in mxml files. Is it
possible to concat string values in a mxml text or label property?

So something like this:



I know that it doesn't work because it uses it as a hole string and
the single strings are not concatenated at all.

But it works if I use data binding instead



Are there any other possibilities for string concatenation?

I even would like to know if there is any possibility to use string
concatenation using the @Resource directive. Because here even data
binding doesn't work and I don't want to use ResourceManager etc. just
to add a simple colon to the resource string for instance. 

So maybe there is something that works.
Thank for your help.

RE: [flexcoders] Drag Multiple items with the dragManager

[Alex Harui]

I would think you could hide the dragInitiator when you call dotDrag and
show it when you get a dragComplete event.

 

The dragImage you hand to doDrag can be a Canvas with the multiple items
positioned appropriately.

Subject: [flexcoders] Drag Multiple items with the dragManager

 

Does anyone know how I can send multiple items to dragManager.doDrag()?
I am not 
using a list based control/container, and I have manually added drag and
drop support to 
the items I want to drag/drop to. I want to select multiple items then
send an array of 
those items to the dragManager to drag multiple items at once.

I am also trying to figure out how to hide the dragInitiator item while
i am dragging the 
item so it looks like the item is being dragged live, not a copy of the
item. I am using a 
copy of the dragInitiators Bitmap data for the dragProxy, I also tried
to use the 
dragInitiator as the dragProxy, but cannot find a way to get the item to
re-appear after a 
drop. I tried setting the visibility of the dragInitiator to false when
the mouseMove event 
fires, then returning it back to visible = true when the item is
dropped, but this seems 
flaky at best. 

To sum it up, I just want it to look like I am dragging an item or
multiple items across the 
screen. I cannot resort to using the simple start/end drag() methods and
mouse events 
because these items will also be able to be dropped on drop targets. 

The drag Manager seems awesome, I just wish I knew how to take advantage
of it a bit 
more. I have read all the documentation several times and still do not
know how to do 
these things. I tried looking at the list based controls to see how they
drag multiple items 
etc, to no avail. 

Thanks in advance for any tips/advice/help.

Subject: [flexcoders] stylesheet issue crashing app

 

using Flex3 beta2.

I have this in my .css file:

.loginBoxLabel {
color: #FF;
font-size: 12;
text-align: right;
font-family: Verdana;
}

And this in a class which inherits from Panel:

unLabel = new Label();
unLabel.styleName = 'loginBoxLabel';
unLabel.text = 'Username:';
this.addChild(unLabel);

This causes an exception which crashes the app. The culprit would appear

to be the fontFamily, because if I add this line before addChild:

unLabel.setStyle('fontFamily', 'Verdana');

It works fine. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Also, in both cases calling "trace('style: 
'+unLabel.getStyle('fontFamily'));", which is what causes it to fail at 
UIComponent.as:8769, returns undefined.

Here is the stack trace:

RE: [flexcoders] List Component: Working with Collapsed and Expanded ItemRenderer

[Alex Harui]

Renderers are recycled.  Only as many renderers that you can see are
created regardless of how many items in your data provider.  So, one
renderer can end up having to render various items in the dataprovider.
As such, all aspects of its visuals must be driven by the .data object
including which state it is in.

Subject: [flexcoders] List Component: Working with Collapsed and
Expanded ItemRenderer

 

I am experiencing something mildly strange with the List component 
when using a custom item renderer that has two states, a collapsed 
state and an expanded state.

When I have one or more item renderers in the expanded state, the 
List component eventually will display the vertical scrollbar. Here 
is the strange part:

When using the scrollbar to scroll through the list, the original 
expanded item renderers that would normally disappear with their 
expanded state from the visual range of the list get collapsed and 
new list items that have not been expanded do so in their place.

As I am not forcing this behavior my thinking is that the List 
component is either missing a property setting to prevent this 
behavior, or this may be either a bug, or simply by design.

Anyone with some more info on this?

Thanks,

Jurgen

It would make the download size of the Flash Player larger. Not all 
Flash applications are Flex applications so the Framework is only 
downloaded and cached when needed.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex is becoming unviable

[danielvlopes]

I'm sure i will note rebuild the project, i'm realy like flex and
adobe products, but i will waiting some months and the final release
to use flex in small websites and app.(When more user has dowloaded
framework :-))

Only reason i prefer rsl inside player is minimize initial dowloadn time.

But i think Hank had reason in some aspect.

If we look on general internet ambient, most user had broadband and
fast internet on other places of world, here in Brazil 70% of users
had broadband internet connection and we (when developing for brasil)
allways must remind this. And not good idea put framework inside
player when 500kb is nothing when use fast connections.

Thanks, bye.

Many thanks Darrell, now i uderstand why getting error.
And -static-rsls=false keep my build.xml much more clean and easy to
read, and avoid configuration problems.
Thanks again.

Just one more question about flash player, why adobe don't put flex
framework inside Flash Player? It will make Flex be amazing plataform
even for small websites and app, confroting ajax in your best vantage
on flex, the size of files without any first huge loading.

Here i paste my build.xml file content for some day anyone had same

[flexcoders] questions about Flex and deploying on servers

[stephen50232]

Hi,

I always create my Flex apps using the ColdFusion remoting project in
Flex builder, then I put the in my wwwroot folder on my dev machine,
and everything works fine.

now when I try to deploy them to another server I always get errors
(CFCs not found, java.lang.NullPointerExceptions), so I have a couple
of questions about setting up CF based flex applications.

1. Does all the config files that come with Flex have to be the same
on my live server as they are on my dev machine?

2. If so can I copy the config files from my dev machine to my live
server?

3. Do all CF/Flex apps have to be under Inetpub\wwwroot\ so that the
CFCs can be found?

4. Do I have to copy over all the code for my application or just the
files in the bin folder?

5. Do I need to create mappings in CFAdministrator for my CFCs?

What I looking to do is get a standard way I can build and deploy my
Flex applications, so I don't get these same problems everytime I
create a new Flex app and deploy it to the server.

Thanks

Stephen

RE: [flexcoders] FLEX2 - Adding license parameters

[Stephane De Jonckheere]

Hello again,

I still have the problem.

 

When installing FB2 and registering it, it asks for the FB serial number
and we can input the charting one. If I do that, Flex app compiled with
FB doesn't have the watermark.

 

For deployment purpose, I use an ANT script that build pre-configured
version of our web application.

I'm using Flex Ant Task (but I also tried a home made mxmlc task) with
FLEX_HOME pointing at the same framework. License.properties file is
correctly set for FDS and CHARTING. I also add licensing parameters to
the mxmlc task. But produced SWF is still having the watermark.

 

What am I doing wrong?

I read that I might need to recompile the Charting component. How do I
do that? There is no explanation.

I mean, the charts.swc file has a specific structure, do I have to build
it by hand?

 

Thanks in advance,

Stephane

Hello,

I try to use Flex Ant Task to create a production version with flex
charting and fds.

 

Even if I put the license parameters in the license.properties of the
framework, mxmlc is not generating a version that uses the licenses.

I add the following parameters in the MXMLC task:



I also tried something like:

But it's rejected by the ant program.

 

Does anybody knows the syntax to use with the license tag?

[flexcoders] Re: Flex app security on IIS

[carl_steinhilber]

Thanks Paul, that's GREAT information.
If URL-rewriting is "a pain" and only works "in some cases"... I'm not
really sold on it, especially since I believe it would take an act of
congress for our IT folk to set it up on the server.

Sending a token seems to me to be a much more manageable idea, since I
could set it all up myself and I'd be in charge of my own destiny.

But I am a little confused. You mention having another request to grab
a token. How does *that* request get authenticated? And once the token
is acquired, doesn't it need to be sent in the upload request in a
specific header to establish that it's authenticated? How is that
possible?

Any further insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
-Carl

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Framework Caching?

[Daniel Freiman]

Yeah, my question was opperating on the assumption that something will go
wrong.  Because in my experience no matter how good framework devs are, it
seems like upgrades always cause problems for someone's code (In other
words, I'm worried about that 0.1 percent you mentioned that will need
work).  And this time my code definitely has the potential to be that code.
I haven't played with Flex 3 much yet, so maybe my app will work perfectly
in Flex 3.  If not, I'm not looking forward to bug fixing my code base for
Flex 3 (a pain which would be roughly related to the size of the codebase).
Call if paranoia if you want.  I guess I'll find out when I get there...or
Adobe could decide to sign a Flex 2.0.1 framework RSL :)

No, only Adobe can sign RSLs, and I haven't seen any indication they'll do so

As far as I can tell, 99.9% of applications need no work to go from Flex 2 to

You change one option in Builders properties (or add a few arguments to 
mxmlc), and it's done. 
How is this hard, or dependant on the size of the code base ?

Hi!

I am looking for a Flex component, which behaves much like the iPhone
navigation Interface. 
I want to create a multi level dialog/list which slides from left to
right. Somewhat like the 
flexlib's horizontal accordion, but without the headers. I am relatively
new to Flex and have

a component would 
be not very difficult to create.

Is there some component like this out there, or do you know a good

such a component?

[flexcoders] Re: DateField FlexEvent.ENTER Event?

[rkettrey]

I got it working.  The final solution is:

1. override focusInHandler leave defaultButtonEnabled = true
2. when the drop down (date picker in this case) is shown, set 
defaultButtonEnabled = false when it is shown, true otherwise

Just my opinion, but I think this should have been the implementation 
for ComboBase to begin with.  The only reason I can see wanting to 
disable the defaut button is so that when a drop down (date picker or 
list) is displayed, ENTER works against  that drop down.  Otherwise, 
ENTER should cause default button processing.  Anyway my change makes 
it work this way now.

[flexcoders] Drag Multiple items with the dragManager

[joshuagatcke]

Does anyone know how I can send multiple items to dragManager.doDrag()? I am 
not 
using a list based control/container, and I have manually added drag and drop 
support to 
the items I want to drag/drop to. I want to select multiple items then send an 
array of 
those items to the dragManager to drag multiple items at once.

I am also trying to figure out how to hide the dragInitiator item while i am 
dragging the 
item so it looks like the item is being dragged live, not a copy of the item. I 
am using a 
copy of the dragInitiators Bitmap data for the dragProxy, I also tried to use 
the 
dragInitiator as the dragProxy, but cannot find a way to get the item to 
re-appear after a 
drop. I tried setting the visibility of the dragInitiator to false when the 
mouseMove event 
fires, then returning it back to visible = true when the item is dropped, but 
this seems 
flaky at best. 

To sum it up, I just want it to look like I am dragging an item or multiple 
items across the 
screen. I cannot resort to using the simple start/end drag() methods and mouse 
events 
because these items will also be able to be dropped on drop targets. 

The drag Manager seems awesome, I just wish I knew how to take advantage of it 
a bit 
more. I have read all the documentation several times and still do not know how 
to do 
these things. I tried looking at the list based controls to see how they drag 
multiple items 
etc, to no avail. 

Thanks in advance for any tips/advice/help.

[flexcoders] Flex 2 Framework Caching?

[Daniel Freiman]

I know the Flex 3 sdk will be required for framework caching, but Flex
Builder 3 can compile Flex 2 code.  If I chose this option will there a
digitally signed release of the Flex 2 framework.  I'd rather not have to
upgrade my code to work with the Flex 3 framework just to gain this
functionality.  Also, it seems to me that developers with larger projects
will have more incentive to create framework caching projects, but will also
have the hardest time upgrading their project from flex 2 to 3 because of
their large code base.

I log in, I get nothing in the console but still see this error
[FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="[MessagingError message='Unknown

This is in the onFault of the LoginCommand.as file.

I added the TraceTarget to the index.mxml file,




mx.messaging.*



0


But where should I see this information? (The console is the same)

I apologize but I did not understand this "The last thing I'll mention
quickly just to be sure you is that if you are using HTTP based channels,
the player is using the same HTTP session on the server as any jsp files
running in that same web application."

And no, things don't work with pre-authenticated session..  The
/seurity/index.jsp  works and displays which role you log in as, but if I
backed up and removed the security/index.jsp I'd get the same error.
Thanks for the help guys..

Re: [flexcoders] Dragging image from TileList - the dragProxy "steals" the original image!

[bjorn -]

jon - thanks for the tip, I'll try it :)

Your reason makes sense (the image not being copied) - but the thing I don't
understand is that I haven't implemented any drag code at all (so it's all
handled by flex) and it works if I specify the url and not the Bitmap
content.

Re: [flexcoders] SOT: CF LDAP

[Douglas Knudsen]

yup, though could be somethign else.  If your LDAP server requires SSL
connection only, you need to install the cert into the JVM.  This cert has
NOTHING to do with your domain name, its a cert for communication between
the server software and your LDAP server.  So, should be easy to copy this
cert from your old working server to the new one and install it.  Sorry, I
have no URL to give you, but a search on Adobes site should turn up a
article speaking to how to do this.

Also, I suggest posting this sort of question on CF-Talk at
houesoffusion.com.

cheers!

RE: [flexcoders] LCDS/Hibernate DataServices Issue

[Dimitrios Gianninas]

Hi,
 
I use LCDS, but I dont have the data hierarchy you are mentioning here. But in 
order to help u debug the issue you might want to turn on debugging while 
developing to see what Flex is doing on the client and server-side, here is how 
to do that:
 
- on client side, add the following statement somewhere in your root MXML file: 
  ... this will log to your client flashlog.txt file
- on the server-side in the services-config.xml file, set the log level to 
"Debug" and make sure the EndPoint.* and Message.* are set
 
That way you will be able to see what data is going back and forth and if on 
the client side Flex is noticing the change to your object.
 
Also who many destinations have u configured? only one for collectionA? or one 
for each collection?
I think you may need to do some kind of refresh ont he server-side once an 
object in collectionA is committed, look at the employee/company in the LCDS 
samples.

Subject: [flexcoders] LCDS/Hibernate DataServices Issue



Hello,

We've recently encountered a problem on a project I'm working on.  We are using 
the Data Management Services to managed all of our persisted objects.  It 
connects to our database via a customized Hibernate assembler.  The issue we 
are seeing is that we have a series of collections that point to each other and 
the references aren't being maintained properly throughout the system. 

Example:

Each item in collectiona, has two properties collectionb and collectionc.
The items in collectionc have a reference to an item in collectionb.

var itemB:Object = collectionb.getItemAt(0); 
var refItemB:object = collectionc.getItemAt(0).referenceToB;
itemB.id == refItemB.id

If at this point I make a change to itemB the corresponding object refItemB is 
not changed.  They are identical objects on the server and should always be the 
same on the client.  I can refresh my client and the differences in the objects 
are still present.  It is not until I close the session and re-login that 
refItemB is updated properly. 

Any thoughts on what we might be doing wrong or need to adjust?  Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: problems access a Flex/CF site via a URL

[Muzak]

So far I've only used the default ColdFusion destination and I guess that's why 
it always works ;-)

Is it documented somewhere that a services-config.xml file is required locally 
(at compile time) and on the server (and that they 
have to have matching destinations)?

Hmm... that sounds like you are not assigning the drag proxy right.  
It almost sounds as though you are assigning the image in the  
TileList itself as the initiator and proxy?


Did you cast it to a new image and then using that new image as the  
proxy?


Event in the main tag for the itemRenderer:

mouseMove="dragIt(event)"

Then the following:

private function dragIt(event:MouseEvent):void {
var dragInitiator:Image = Image(event.currentTarget.image);
var ds:DragSource = new DragSource();
ds.addData(data.source, data.type );
var imageProxy:Image = new Image();
imageProxy.source = dragInitiator.source;
imageProxy.width = dragInitiator.width;
imageProxy.height = dragInitiator.height;
DragManager.doDrag(dragInitiator, ds, event, imageProxy);
}

That should create a new image that you use at the proxy and  
shouldn't touch your existing one in any way. Alternately, you can  
use a Bitmap.


just a thought.

good luck,

Does anyone know of a program which can do a batch of flv's and take a

[flexcoders] Looking for horizontal sliding list/dialog component (like iPhone UI)

Hi!

I am looking for a Flex component, which behaves much like the iPhone 
navigation Interface. 
I want to create a multi level dialog/list which slides from left to right. 
Somewhat like the 
flexlib's horizontal accordion, but without the headers. I am relatively new to 
Flex and have 
no experience with transitions and animations, otherwise, I think, such a 
component would 
be not very difficult to create.

Is there some component like this out there, or do you know a good tutorial how

such a component?

fm.defaultButtonEnabled = false;

to

fm.defaultButtonEnabled = true;

Now pressing ENTER in the DateField works, with one caveat.  When the 
date picker is up, ENTER should only make the picker close.  This 
case is being checked currently in ComboBase.keyDownHandler, and I 
was expecting the existing call in that function to 
event.stopPropogation (after checking the picker is up and closing 
it) would stop the ENTER key from being process by the focus sub-
system.  It does not apparently.  I also tried overriding it and 
changing it to event.stopImmediatePropogation for the heck of it, but 
it does the same thing.

What is going on here and any ideas how I can make it eat the event 
from the focusManager point of view when the picker is up?

[flexcoders] Re: Mock objects in AS3

[dave_defusion]

Bjorn,

I have been looking at this (as I would like a mocking framework for
Flex too) this evening and I've had no luck either.

The the registerClassAlias() does add the alias to a given class I
can't then get anything to accept it as being of that type
- I'm not sure what the alias is, but dumping the describeType()
results shows it as an alias property on the type and not as an
implementsInterface node, which is what we need.

I may not have been fully understood what registerClassAlias though.

But it looks (ok, it's late and I'm tired so it may just be that which
is causing my negativity) as if trying to get a class to implement an
interface (or at least appear to implement an interface) dynamically
at run time is a futile effort.

Any thoughts?

-D

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Remoting Options - Any Opinions?

[tomeuchre]

PS - I did something that Granite didn't think was possible (or at 
least very easy to do):

I got Granite Data Services working with Flex making remote AMF3/rpc 
calls to a JSF Web Application. There were numerous potential issues 
involved in this (faces context, phases, lifecycle), but I was able to 
do it with native GDS, native Flex and no changes to any existing code 
in my (massive) JSF Web applications. I simply had to add a single java 
class to my web app and some changes to my web.xml.

I am working on a project hard right now, but will post the HOW-TO 
notes here when I have a chance.

Since Granite works with pojo, Spring, EJB, and now JSF applications, I 
can't imagine why someone would be willing to pay that much money for 
LCDS. Great performance also.

[flexcoders] scale 9, quick question

[aaron smith]

I've got an image I used scale9 on.. i used pretty much this example:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=0976.html

When I set the height the width is changing as well. Can it resize just the
height?. Possible?

[flexcoders] Re: Error using LCDS, DataStore not initialized

[Ravi Varma PM]

I think I have LCDS 2.51 and still getting the same error.
"Error: DataStore is not initialized. Operation failed."

How do I check the version of LCDS I am running?

Thanks,

[flexcoders] accessing .NET SOAP Service that uses byref parameters...

[flxkid]

I have to work with a .NET based webservice that has parameters that
are passed byref.  Is there a way to deal with this in Flex?

You can access the wsdl here:

http://univac.hallmarkins.net/ConneXion/ConneXion.asmx?wsdl

I will need to access many methods this way, although the first is
especially difficult as it needs to be passed an array of objects
byref that gets filled.  Of course byref in SOAP is more parameter
clobbering than anything AFAIK.

Any ideas if this will be doable via flex?

Thanx,

OLIVER
