[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm design questions about Command-View communication

[mydarkspoon]

Hi,
I'm a cairngorm newbie, and still not sure of what solution is
appropriate for a certain situation but in case I want to update the
view after a command has taken an action I would follow one of the
following:
1. A direct data binding that is the most elegant I think but doesn't
always fit. I've seen some cairngorm examples in which the model was
built according to the view "needs". In my opinion that's a bad design ,
the model should represent the business data, not the way the view use
it.
2. When you can't use direct binding, the second best solution might be
vinding the view to helper functions. for example, if I have an intro 
screen, and I want to show a welcome message according to the user's
sex, I would do something like that:

That's pretty straight forward, but the problems comes when the link
between the view needs and the model data is implicit, I don't like my
view to guess what the state is according to the model, for example, I
would consider this to be bad:


That's just too much responsibilties to put into the view.

That's kind of contradict what I stated in section 1, not to design the
model by the view, I think that might be the most difficult part for me,
to find the right balance between view responsibilities and model design
and would really like to hear what other people have to say about it...

3. If you really have to take an action after some data was initialized,
I would recommend not to use the Changewatcher if possible for it uses
strings to reference object chains, which is bad for refactoring.
for example, you have a model.files object that you listen to with the
change watcher, then you decide to change its name to imageFiles, you
won't get any compile time errors because it uses strings.
You can use Paul Williams observe 
  tag instead.


Well, that's it, it far away form being perfect, I'm sure there are some
better technique for certain situation, if any has some I would love to
hear about it...

Ok, no rush. Just wanted to quickly check if there was something I was

Note that in the sample I gave, I'm not cheating on the tab order in
any way. :)

[flexcoders] Binding vars for states

[mlharrisn]

This might be a simple request, but I'm having problems finding a solution. I 
have states 
setup for my text color, and I need have the color values change based on an 
event. I 
thought I could just make a bindable var for the number  associated with the 
color value 
but I get an error #1119.

"1119: Access of possibly undefined property selectedColor through a reference 
with static 
type module3_inlineComponent1."

I'm assuming this is a scoping issue - that that my states are not in the same 
scope as the 
actioncript code where I define the var, thought its in the same MXML file.  
Here's the 
pertient code:

[CODE]
[Bindable] public var selectedColor:uint;

private function loadLayout(index:Number):void {
  this.selectedColor = moduleXML.getSelectedTextColorAt(index);
  trace("color", this.selectedColor);
}

//States

[flexcoders] Loading Web Service from WebSphere

[dafox_82]

I'm playing around with Flex and want to call a custom made Web Service
in WebSphere.

When I run my application, It seems that a lot of requests are done to
the Web Service repeatably requesting the same XSD's (complex types). It
looks like the application is in an infinite loop, constantly doing the
same requests.. No call the the web service is made yet at this point.

If I call the requested XSD manually in my browser, it is resolved
without problems.
And if I call another very simple web service, everything is working as
expected.

My Web Service definition looks like this:

http://localhost:9080/CustomerModuleWeb/sca/CustomerDataServiceExp\
ort/wsdl/CustomerDataServiceExport_CustomerDataServiceHttp_Service.wsdl
 "
 
endpointURI="http://localhost:9080/CustomerModuleWeb/sca/CustomerDataSer\
viceExport

"
  service="CustomerDataServiceExport_CustomerDataServiceHttpService"
  port="CustomerDataServiceExport_CustomerDataServiceHttpPort"
  useProxy="false"
  showBusyCursor="true"
  fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString), 'Error'">
 
 
 
 
   16
   
 
 
 
 


I'm using Flex Builder 3, Beta (also tried Flex Builder 2, hotfix3)

What is going wrong here???

[flexcoders] Add textfield error

[Jonathan Lee]

Hello all,
I have a application to in creationComplete event to execute a function called 
initApp();

This is initApp()..
import flash.text.TextField;
public var mtTXT:TextField;
public function initApp():void{
myTXT = new TextField();
myTXT.x = 343; myTXT.y = 10; 
myTXT.width = 196; myTXT.height = 300;
myTXT.wordWrap = true; myTXT.border = true;
myTXT.multiline =true;

 
addChild(myTXT);
}

It compiles ok, but when it runs, it says TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion 
failed: cannot convert flash.text::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IUIComponent.
at 
mx.core::Container/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::addingChild()



But that TextField is inherited from DisplayObject which suppose to be abled to 
used within addChild() function.

Any thoughts.

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] Help ... Why isn't my localToGlobal working on a draggable sprite ?

[Gordon Smith]

You should be doing
 
var boxPoint:Point = new Point(0, 0); // top-left corner of _box in its
own coordinates
var boxPointLocToGlob:Point = _box.localeToGlobal(boxPoint); // top-left
corner of _box in stage global coords
 
But I don't see how what you were doing would have given negative

[flexcoders] divide text in more than 1 column automatically

[Jonathan Lee]

Hello all:
I have an application that popup RichTextEditor for user to input text.

Then, after finished, I will have a big textfield (or whatever that can display 
text) to display user's text.

Instead of just display in one big area, that text display area is divided into 
2 columns. Left and right.

So, if text can not fit in the left column, it should automatically flow into 
column 2. (Now, I do not care the situation of if column 2 is also full).

So, anyway to implement this?

Thanks a LOT.

[flexcoders] Different result for encryption in Flex and in CF.

[ivansebastiansurya]

Hi,

Thanks for your help,

But I still got different result for encrypting in Flex using the 
crypto library:

var key:ByteArray = Hex.toArray("4cb3c6af71194975d7a7679635c44517");
var cipher:ICipher = Crypto.getCipher("aes", key);
var rawData:ByteArray = Hex.toArray(Hex.fromString("This is a 
Test")); // I suppose you convert the string to hex first, then to 
 // byte array.
cipher.encrypt(rawData);
ti_encodedText.text = Hex.fromArray(rawData); // to print it out,
 // need to convert it to hex string first???

This gives me: 28c8f58f6858ea48ed85c88fb2a5fd69

But in ColdFusion below:









Hex Key: #HexKey#
Key: #MyKey#

Plain Text: #PlainText#
Encrypted: #Encrypted#
Decrypted: #Decrypted#


The encrypted text is  14C561515CA3283C297EEC0A99E80D08

So I got different result for encrypting the same text using the 
same key.

Do you have any idea why this is the case?

Thanks,

Ivan.

Re: [flexcoders] CSS usage?

[Lex]

This application of the CSS sheet, is only good at compile time?

The goal is to gain the ability to style the Flex application via CSS, allowing 
end users to do things like change background color, etc.

Re: SPAM-LOW: [flexcoders] Encryption in Flex and Decryption in ColdFusion.

[Jeffry Houser]

  By Crypto I meant the AS3 library you link to, which is named "As3 
Crypto".  I'm pulled up my code.

  You should be able to use the CryptoDemo to create a Key in Hex.  Once 
you have the key, you should be able to do something like this in CF:









  Hex Key: #HexKey#
  Key as string: #hexToString(HexKey)#
  Key: #MyKey#

  Plain Text: #PlainText#
  Encrypted: #Encrypted#
  Decrypted: #Decrypted#



  You'll probably want something a bit more 'dynamic' but hopefully this 
will get you going.  I haven't looked at it in months, so the code is 
not fresh in my mind...

[flexcoders] Re: How to restore automatic height calculation (after an explicit value was set

Hi Cosma,

If you do something like the following you, you will re-set the width of a 
component to it's 
original measured size.

myComponent.width = myComponent.measuredWidth;

Hope this helps!

[flexcoders] Cairngorm design questions about Command-View communication

[rmarples]

As our product has gotten bigger, I have moved it from a standard 
Model-View-Controller design to a 
more strict Cairngorm-like Model-View-Dispatcher-Command design. But one 
particular aspect of it has 
left me a bit unsure as to the best practice. I'm hoping others can share their 
views on this.

There are various times when a Command needs to make a "non-data-related" 
update to the view such 
as: 
- disabling/enabling buttons while a server operation runs
- updating the focus of controls
- changing component states
- hiding/showing components

We've had some debate about the best method to accomplish this. The easy 
scenario is changing states 
because we can simply have a model variable that the view's currentState 
property is data-bound to. So 
we can modify that model variable from within the Command which indirect 
updates the view. But there 
are other situations that are more tricky. For example, we have a login view 
with a username and 
password. We have a command that loads the stored username. If the stored 
username is not found, 
we'd like to set the focus on the username textbox, whereas if the username is 
found, then we want to 
put the focus on the password textbox. I don't believe you can set up focus 
using data-binding (if you 
can let me know). So we have postulated several different solutions to this, 
all of which work but we are 
trying to figure out which one is the most "correct" based on the design 
pattern.

1. Set up a ChangeWatcher to watch the a model username variable, in the 
handler set the focus based 
on whether that variable is null or not.

2. Dispatch an event from the command that the view listens to. This is used to 
notify the view when the 
username variable has been populated and thus when it can run it's focus logic.

3. Have the view object store a reference to itself in the model somewhere so 
that the command can 
update it directly.

I know this seems like a very granular point but I'm just looking for the 
general practice in these types of 
situations because there are lots of them.

Any thoughts?

Ryan

Why is typing in a password such a big deal?

I think most users expect to have to sign in to an application, though some 
companies operate a single sign-on architecture where that is not required.

What is the case here? We've focussed on one small aspect of security, what 
is the bigger picture?

[flexcoders] Re: Local storage of password

[rmarples]

Well the thing about this application is, I don't own the server. I'm using a 
3rd party 
Internet web service (salesforce.com in this case). So I can't change the way 
the server 
authenticates people - actually it does so in a very rational way anyway. The 
requirement 
was simply to save the user the pain of having to type in their username and 
password 
every single time they hit my app since the browser auto-fill feature doesn't 
work for Flex 
apps. It's easy to store the username because I can throw it into a 
SharedObject because 
it's not sensitive, but for the password the salesforce.com security 
requirements are such 
that you can only store local passwords if you encrypt them and you can't store 
the 
encryption key in the code. Anyway, thanks for everybody's input but it looking 
like this 
requirement just isn't going to make sense, so I think I will push to just have 
the username 
saved but not the password.

RE: [flexcoders] Datagrid ItemEditor - multiple data edits?

[Tracy Spratt]

Sure, this should not be difficult.  Have your renderer do its own
updating of the dataProvider item, and don't attempt to use the
renderIsEditor or other built in item editor functionality.  The
renderer gets a reference to the entire item, so it can manipulate that
data however you want.

 

I also recall a document topic about returning multiple values from a
renderer, that might be useful.

Is it possible for an ItemEditor in a datagrid (or some other way) to
allow you to edit 2 or more things at once? Like say instead of a
combo box dropdown for a cell in a datagrid, could you have an item
editor that is like a mini form update multiple data objects in that
row's data that may not be displayed in the datagrids view

Or Flex3 advanced datagrid something I should look into? Or this will
have to be completely custom and kinda 'fake' this behavior

Re: SPAM-LOW: [flexcoders] Encryption in Flex and Decryption in ColdFusion.

[Jeffry Houser]

  Which library?

  I've been able to successfully pass data back and forth between Flex 
and Crypto using AES.

  There are settings you need to specify (128 bit something?), but w/o 
pulling the code, I don't remember them.

[flexcoders] Encryption in Flex and Decryption in ColdFusion.

[ivansebastiansurya]

Hi there,

Has anyone attempted to encode some string in Flex and decode it in 
COldFusion?
I've attempted to encode the string using the library in
http://crypto.hurlant.com/
as follows:
var key:ByteArray = Hex.toArray(model.hashKey); // some key
var cipher:ICipher = Crypto.getCipher("aes", key);
var rawData:ByteArray = Hex.toArray(dataToEncrypt);
I then send the encrypted data as a string (Hex.fromArray
(encryptedByteArray).

I then try to decrypt it in ColdFusion, using:
decrypted=decrypt(arguments.xmlString, 
application.hashkey, "AES", "Hex");

, but it doesn't seem to work.

If anyone can help me out, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Ivan.

RE: [flexcoders] howto save image from flex app to local disk - any tips / ideas?

[Jim Hayes]

absolutely spot on, 

navigateToURL( request,"_self") did exactly what I wanted (displaying the 
download prompt rather than the image itself).

The only bad thing being that I didn't think of it before asking the question :)

Thanks for the tip Ben,

very much appreciated even if I do feel like a bit of a fool now!

Jim.

(Actually, I had tried something similar as part of the remoting call, but it 
failed due to something I didn't understand, probably the response was going 
straight back to flex as a remoting result - I didn't check it any further 
because it was about 1.30 in the morning at the time...)

The "attachment" in Content-Disposition would force the browser to 
download the image (rather than display it), if that's what you want you 
probably don't need to open in a _blank window, the blank window is 
useless since the browser will just download the image.

Otherwise if you want to display it in a new window, you do need the 
_blank, but not the "attachement".

The method you need is in the help file under Tree, as it happens.

Re: [flexcoders] Mutliple alert copies

Did you put some tracing code in to prove that that code isn't actually 
executed twice the second time around? Event-driven software can be a tricky 
business.
   
  Maybe you neglected to remove an old event listener from some object that is 
dispatching the event that ultimately executes that code, and it's still 
lurking in memory, receiving that event and showing your Alert.

Fixed it.

I got close to solving the problem by removing the compareFunction from the 
Sort I was 
constructing at startup, but that meant numeric, date and compound columns were 
always 
sorted alphabetically instead of numerically, by date or through the two or 
more data 
fields that made up the column respectively. But at least it was sorting in the 
right 
direction and the direction could be changed correctly. This was definitely my 
fault, I 
shouldn't have used the custom compareFunction because I dynamically add a 
sortCompareFunction to any AdvancedDataGridColumn that needs it when adding the 
user's preferred columns to the AdvancedDataGrid, so I didn't need to reference 
another 
custom compare function on the data provider.

But why wasn't the AdvancedDataGrid using it's column's sortCompareFunction 
definitions?

When I created the SortFields for the initial sort I was setting the ignore 
case property to 
true just as a means of getting to the descending parameter that I was truly 
interested in, 
when I set that to false, suddenly the AdvancedDataGrid was using the correct 
sortCompareFunctions for it's columns. Very strange.

On reflection, it could be that the framework is assuming that if the SortField 
has it's 
ignore case property set to true then it must need to do an alphabetic sort, 
regardless of 
whether there's a custom compare function on the column or not.

Hey ho, it's fixed now.

Cheers,

Ian

chart" point are rendered incorrectly. The line segment is drawn over 
the item renderer. 

Anyone have a similar experience?

Re: [flexcoders] How to access .net dll's in FLEX 3.0

[Douglas Knudsen]

yeah, news to me too.  Must have had some secret edition of Flex 1.5 for
that.

Praveen, maybe your Flex 1.5 app was actually calling a Java POJO that did
some magic to use a .NET dll? Jumping the globe to travel to the
neighbourhood coffee shopanyhoo, with Flex 2 and 3, you could possibly
expose this .NET code as web services and consume with no added server
expense.

[flexcoders] Re: Adding custom events to the pre-loading sequence

[rudmonster]

Hello,

I posted an answer this morning but I dont see it so let me try again
(first time posting :)

All you need to do is extend  mx.preloader.Download progressbar then
override the FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE you can then control when your
preloader will end ...see here  (sorry ...I am paraphrasing my code dont
have it with me but you will get the idea)

public class Preloader extends DownloadProgressBar {

 public var splash:SplashScreen;

 public function CustomPreloader()
 {
 super();
 splash = new splashScreen();
 this.addChild(splash) ;
 }

 override public function set preloader( preloader:Sprite ):void
 {
 preloader.addEventListener( FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE ,
FlexInitComplete );
 }



 private function FlexInitComplete( event:Event ):void
 {
  splash.comp= true;   // When this is true I know that the swf 
has finished downloading
 dispatchEvent( new Event( Event.COMPLETE ) );
 }

   }



so over riding and binding a var to true I can use another event (like a
database query result event to call another function inside of my splash
sprite .as file to remove itself like this:



   public function startupComplete( event:ResultEvent):void
   {

if( this.comp) closeSplash() ;


   }

   public function closeSplash( ):void
   {
if( this.alpha > 0){
 this.alpha = this.alpha - fadeOutRate;
 this.parent.removeChild(this);
}
   }

if this sounds like what you want I can send you all my code to do this
.

[flexcoders] Custom ItemEditor too big for container

[Ken Dunnington]

I've built a custom Tree ItemEditor that consists of a VBox with a Form in
it. It works just fine (besides the CheckBox which is too picky about "true"
vs. true in the XML data...) except when I try to edit an item near the
bottom of the container, the editor gets cut off. Because I wanted it to
only occupy the smallest necessary space, I set the following properties on
the Tree control: editorHeightOffset="150" editorWidthOffset="-650", and
there is no width or height set for the ItemEditor.

What's the best way to ensure that my custom editor won't occupy a huge
amount of space, but will stay on-screen as well? I tried setting
verticalScrollPolicy to "on" but it doesn't register as an increase in the
control's height, so the bars don't activate when the editor is off the
screen.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Triggering a .htrml page inside a html frame from Flex.

[DreamCode]

one option is to have the function to load a specific url in javascript,
which would be easy to find a tutorial/example on. You'd then use the
external interface to call js from flex.

Only the first argument is required for the call() method, everything else
is added to the function call

ExternalInterface.call("jsFunctionName", "frameName", "urlToLoad");

Re: [flexcoders] How to access .net dll's in FLEX 3.0

[Jeffry Houser]

  I had no idea Flex 1.5 allowed you to call .NET dlls using 
RemoteObject.  Pretty sweet.  If Flex 1. Server could access .NET DLLs, 
then I Bet that this funcionality would be present in the current 
rendition of LiveCycle Data Services.

  You could also look into WebORB for .NET, although if your company can 
afford Flex 1.5 licenses, I'd suspect that LDS is probably also within 
your budget.

  Destinations refer to a remoting configuration file.  I believe it 
tells 'you' where to find the remoting gateway.

[flexcoders] Datagrid ItemEditor - multiple data edits?

[Rick Schmitty]

Is it possible for an ItemEditor in a datagrid (or some other way) to
allow you to edit 2 or more things at once?  Like say instead of a
combo box dropdown for a cell in a datagrid, could you have an item
editor that is like a mini form update multiple data objects in that
row's data that may not be displayed in the datagrids view

Or Flex3 advanced datagrid something I should look into?  Or this will
have to be completely custom and kinda 'fake' this behavior

RE: [flexcoders] Re: getChildByName returning NULL SOLVED - kinda

[Gordon Smith]

There are several things that may be confusing you...
 
1. A child descriptor is not an actual child. The descriptor simply
stores the information specified for the MXML tag; it is used to create
an actual child DisplayObject. So a component can have a descriptor for
a child without yet having that child.
 
2. Components do not (or at least should not) create their children at
constructor time. In other words, after executing
 
var f:Object = new form1();
 
the child DisplayObjects do not exist. They are created later, when you
put f onto the display list by doing someParent.addChild(f).
 
3. Due to the Flex feature known as "deferred instantiation", all
descendants do not necessarily get created when a component is put onto
the display list. For example, an Accordion creates grandchildren only
for its initially visible pane. The grandchildren on other panes get
created as you navigate to those panes. You should structure your code
to pull data into children as they get created.
 
I also recommend using strong typing:
 
var f:form1 = new form1();

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: getChildByName returning NULL SOLVED - kinda



Using callLater() seems to have fixed this behavior.

I dynamically created var f:Object = new form1();

I then call a recusive function on f, f.GetData()

o is found a 1-2 levels of recursion (a canvas that's in an accordion
that' in the canvs, f)

So perhaps the call to updateDisplayList,etc had't yet worked their
magic and created all of the nested components (namely o's childern).
The debugger, however had.

Calling callLater() before the recursive call, f.GetData() seems to
have fixed this problem.

Interesting.

[flexcoders] Any additional details on NativeDrag to OS?

[ivo]

Hello all,

What I would like to do is allow users to drag files off my AIR app onto their 
OS.

I believe I can tell reliably when a drag gesture ends outside the AIR app but 
I have not figured out how to tell whether the drag gesture ended at a 
filesystem location (like an open folder) or another open application (like 
notepad). If the drag gesture ended on a filesystem location, how do I resolve 
the location to a path?

Also, is there a way to replicate the mouse pointer feedback available in the 
DragManager when using the NativeDragManager for drag operations within app?

Thanks,

- Ivo

[flexcoders] Getting local connection info from Socket

[RipSUp]

Okay I'm working on an app that integrates with Novell's Groupwise
Messenger and I'm having an issue.

When sending login info you have to send your IP and PORT you are
using for the connection. Not what I am connecting to but the random
port I was assigned locally.

Is there any way to get this info from the Socket, I was looking
through the documentation for Socket and couldn't find anything. If
this isn't possible I'm going ot have to use PHP as a go between
unfortunately because I have successfully connected with it's sockets
because I can get that info. I was hoping to just handle this all in
Flex so I could later turn this into an AIR app that would be
independent from any web server.

Thanks,

[flexcoders] cfc can not get cairngorm VO data?

Hi

I am using cairngorm with cfc now.

I make some progress and the error like this:

xmlns:cairngorm="com.adobe.cairngorm.business.*">














formDelegate.as

package ca.sb.CESF.Bursary.business {

public class Form3Delegate {

private var responder:IResponder;

public function Form3Delegate( responder:IResponder ) 
{

Alert.show("login delegate begine"); 
this.responder = responder;
this.service = ServiceLocator.getInstance

}
}


I output data with "Alert.show("DELEGATE " + personVO.firstname)" in 
function AddPersonData.I can get output data.

but I get error when I pass data by "call:Object = 
this.service.addPerson(personVO);"

The Error message like following

[RPC Fault faultString="Element FIRSTNAME is undefined in PERSONVO." 
faultCode="Server.Processing" faultDetail=""]


How ro fix this?How to output with "mx:RemoteObject" to show which 
data is passed to cfc?

This is most likely related to the Flesh Detection in the .html wrapper 
for the Flex .swf file.  Try replacing the .html in the url with .swf 
and see if that loads the app.

I've had some issues testing Flex applications on Linux.  Specifically, 
Express Installer doesn't work because it's not supported on the Linux 
Platform.  The Linux Flash Detection seems to be spotty in generally.  
It seems to work best on Linux if you change the Flex Compiler options 
to generate an html wrapper without the detection code in it.

[flexcoders] ValueObject Factories?

[Christophe Herreman]

Hi all,

I was wondering how you guys deal with model objects and their corresponding
value objects. We have a pretty big domain model with complex nested classes
and we need to create value objects from them before sending them to the
server. Right now we create a factory for each model, that can create a vo
from a model and a model from a vo. This works, but it is obviously a lot of
work and error prone, so it requires more work to write testcases for them.

Does anyone have this "problem" too? Are you only sending VO's to the server
or do you only do that for complex types and otherwise send the object
itself?

Input, comments and ideas are welcome.

regards,
Christophe

[flexcoders] getVisibleBounds()? clipped component with scrollbars in accordion

[Brian]

I've got a problem where I'm trying to detect a MouseOut on a
component so that I can revert it back to its original state. The
scenario is I've got an accordion component with VBoxes as the
children.  The VBoxes contain several custom components each, enough
that I've got scroll bars on the accordion children VBoxes. The custom
components have states that are supposed to be triggered on MouseOver
and MouseOut. I use getBounds on these components to see if they
contain the MouseOut event's point. If it doesn't, then I revert back
to the original state.

Everything is working fine, except for when the lowest visible
component in one VBox is clipped by the header of the next accordion's
child. When I move the mouse from inside the component, down out the
bottom and over the next accordion header, the coordinates of the
MouseOut event still fall within the local and content coordinate
system of the component, even though it is clipped on the bottom by
the header.

I've read through the coordinate system docs and tried various
permutations of local, global, and content positioning. I would've
thought that the local coordinate system would reflect what is
visible, but it isn't acting like that is the case.

I've looked for a method like 'getVisibleBounds' but haven't found
anything like it. Any ideas on how I'd do this? What am I missing?

[flexcoders] html wrapper

[pateyog]

I am trying to extend the height of the html wrapper such that it
would get a scroll instead of the swf. Here is what I am trying to
achieve:

In my html wrapper I have 

Header (some html content)
Object tag that includes my varying height flex swf
Footer (some html content)

What I am trying to achieve is that the swf application should not
display a scrollbar and should extend its height based on the content.
I managed to make the application height variable by setting the
tabNavigator that it include with "resizeToContent" as true. However
when I run the application inside the html wrapper my SWF content gets
clipped. I would like the object tag to increase or decrease its
height and not clip the content.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Local storage of password

[Paul Andrews]

I can't claim to have invented the technique.

It's even better if a new hash is passed back every time and replaces the 
old one (it means that any copies of the old hash will no longer work).

sorry for the typo in the title...its 'triggering a .html...'.

[flexcoders] Triggering a .htrml page inside a html frame from Flex.

[kalyancce]

Hi Friends,

I am trying to work on a situation but not any close yet, and thought 
that I could find some help here.

I am trying to trigger a html page from my flex .swf, but open it 
inside a html frame. ie., from my app.swf, i click a button and must 
open page1.html inside a frame existing in page2.html

The following function can just trigger/open the page1.html:

private function openMainWindow(event:Event):void{
var str1:String="page1.html";
var jscommand:String = "window.open('"+str1+"');";
var url1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand + "void
(0);");   
navigateToURL(url1, "_self"); 

but how is that I can open this page1.html inside page2.html's frame 
(say 'frame1').

Thank you.

Regards,
K:)

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid tab order (again)

[Alex Harui]

If you're cheating on how tabbing works, you'll have this problem in IE.
In IE, if you aren't in the tab order from the FocusManager's
perspective you could end up having focus leave to the browser.   There
might be a bug related to that as well where we don't handle all cases.
I won't have time to investigate this week.

Hi!

Thanks to Alex's help I got the datagrid tab order functionality I
needed mostly working (including avoiding the datagrid remembering the
last edited cell). 

Just one minor issue now, which I *might* be able to just ignore, but
I'm curious about it because it works correctly on Firefox, but not on
IE. Specifically, when I reverse-tab (shift+tab) out of my DataGrid,
the focus seems to be going to the wrong control. But it only happens
in IE.

Check my sample here:
http://roytang.net/sandbox/DataGridTabOrder.swf
 
Source: http://roytang.net/sandbox/DataGridTabOrder.mxml
 

Is it a bug in the SDK? or is there something I can do to work around
it?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I've done my thorough 5 days of documentation research, trial and
error, and forum perusing on this subject, but have come to you as a
frustrated, nearly broken developer. My printdatagrid will not print
correctly, no matter what I try. I am getting rows cut off at the end
of pages and extra empty rows added at the end of the printdatagrid.

I have followed the sample code for the printdatagrid, using the
validatenow and validnextpage methods, i've created my printdatagrid
dynamically in actionscript and in mxml, I've tried adding extra line
breaks to my data in an effort to force full rows...but nothing seems
to work.

I believe the culprit to be the variablerowheight attribute of my
printdatagrid which seems to be throwing off the printing. 

Has anyone figured out a way to print to a printdatagrid effectively???

Thanks in advance.

Make sure you add properties to the CFC VO using the cfproperty tag. 
Properties case and order must match what is in the AS3 VO.

Additionally, use the full path with dot notation as the argument type.

Basically, Flex+CF is not smart enough to know that "PersonVO" is 
equal to "Bursary.cfcs. PersonVO" .

[flexcoders] How to restore automatic height calculation (after an explicit value was set)

[Cosma]

Hi flexcoders out there,

I'm facing a simple problem. In Flex, containers such as Panel usually
layout themself looking at their children(automatically choosing an
appropriate width and height). Is there any way to restore this
behaviour after setting an explicit height in ActionScript?

Example:

Think about a Panel that could resize itself to a fixed size
(minimize) and then restore the original value. In the restore phase
I'm currently setting the height property to the measuredMinHeight
property value, but from this moment onward the height will not
reflect the panel contents anymore, as it did by default.

Thanks for any hint

[flexcoders] Re: getChildByName returning NULL SOLVED - kinda

[riaengineer]

Using callLater() seems to have fixed this behavior.

I dynamically created var f:Object = new form1();

I then call a recusive function on f, f.GetData()

o is found a 1-2 levels of recursion (a canvas that's in an accordion
that' in the canvs, f)

So perhaps the call to updateDisplayList,etc had't yet worked their
magic and created all of the nested components (namely o's childern).
 The debugger, however had.

Calling callLater() before the recursive call, f.GetData() seems to
have fixed this problem.

Interesting.

[flexcoders] Styling extended Flex Components... simple misunderstanding?

[bithroop]

I think I'm not understanding something...

My app has a bunch of .mxml classes that extend TitleWindow
(singletons in a UI). I want them all to be styled the same EXCEPT for
I want each one to have a custom background color. Here's how I'm
attempting this...

-begin external css file---

TitleWindow 
{
   borderAlpha: 0.9;
   borderThicknessLeft: 4;
   borderThicknessTop: 0;
   borderThicknessBottom: 16;
   borderThicknessRight: 4;
   roundedBottomCorners: false;
   headerHeight: 20;
   backgroundAlpha: 0.33;
   highlightAlphas: 0.29, 0.02;
   headerColors: #ff, #cc;
   footerColors: #e7e7e7, #c7c7c7;
   dropShadowEnabled: true;
   backgroundColor: #ff;
}

ExtendedTitleWindowA
{
   backgroundColor: #ff;
}


ExtendedTitleWindowB
{
   backgroundColor: #00ff00;
}

-end external css file---

So... this doesn't work. What is happening is that everything that
extends TitleWindow looks the same and the custom backgroundColors are
not taking.

The css is linked via the top level application. 

Can someone set me straight?
