RE: [flexcoders] Calling AS3 functions

[Alex Harui]

Each mxml has its own (document) scope.  It essentially defines a class.
A method must be public in order to be accessed from outside the class,
you cannot access protected from outside the class.

 

Your snippet doesn't have id's or show the relationship between the two
classes so it is hard to say why it isn't working. Also, you appear to
be trying to call returnEmail when the snippet only showed a returnName
method.

There's a "basedOn" property.  I think it means that a state, when
un-done, will only rollback to the basedOn state.

Not sure what you mean...I didn't research it beyond figuring out my
problem...  I had a viewstack with normal and no data views and wanted
it to stay the same (either in no data or normal) when going to the
updating/downloading state.  Was frustrated when my normal state was
inexplicably showing the no data view when it went to the updating

and reverting back to the previous values, which incidentally were

which are not undone, it worked fine.  My current understanding is that
anything you wish to be undone after you move to another state should be
done in states.  Any effect or permanent change should be done in
transitions.

RE: [flexcoders] using mx:States, newly displayed fields are not getting tab focus

[Alex Harui]

Can you make a small test case?  You should'n't set tabEnabled on a
container, and it should already have tabChildren = true.

 

If you can walk downward via tabChildren=troe through the container
hierarchy you should be able to tab to the components in the containers.

I see [tincan] taking >50% of time in the performance profile of my app.

I'm using Flex Data Services's RemoteObject. However the performance
profiling I'm doing is for some client-side interactions/animations
long after results have returned from the RemoteObject call to the
server. If [tincan] is related to NetConnection, I don't understand
why it should figure in the performance after the call to the server
is completed. 

Any pointers would be appreciated. My animation performance is
horrendous and I sure would like to dig into the thing that is taking
half the overall time.

Our team began stress testing the server portion of our Flex

instances of Firefox on different machines which run a stress tester
written in Flex. We were hoping to launch 80 instances per machine, so
we could monitor traffic with about 2000 users, but Firefox crashes
after about 35 instances, and blames its failure on the shockwave
flash player. We've also attempted this test with IE and just like
Firefox it crashes at around 35 instances. Is there a known issue with
the Flash player that would cause this problem, and is there a version
of the Flash player that could help us resolve this problem? We are
running our stress tests on Windows XP computers, using Firefox, and
the Flash player v. 9. Each request does send cookies back to the
server. In fact if we have 35 instances running then each request will
send down 35 cookies along with some information to help identify the
correct cookie. I don't suspect the cookies are the problem. Any help
would be appreciated. We definitely would like to be able to launch
more instances of stress tester, so we can get a better picture of
where limits are, right now we're just coasting through the stress
tests.

 

[flexcoders] looking for best Data Service

[Cameron]

I've got a flex app that needs to update data routinely (about once per 
minute). The data is stored in a database on my server and there could 
be several 10's to hundreds of users who are looking at the data 
simultaneously via the flex app. The data is represented by colored dots 
on a map. When the data changes, and it does about once per minute, I 
basically need to update the color of one or potentially several 
thousand objects on the map. I'd like for the changes to be seen by all 
users at the same time (data push right?). I've seen a tutorial online 
(the horse race one) about doing something similar, but it required the 
Adobe Media Server on the server side. Is there a cheaper and better way 
to do this using one of the open source AMF's out there? I've played 
around with AMF::Perl, but it doesn't seem to have the data push 
capability, only responds to requests as far as I can tell. Has anyone 
done something like this? If so what did you use? I'm working with 
Win2k3, IIS6, and SQL Express if that makes a difference. Currently, I 
have a program running on the server creating an XML file with the color 
of the objects as one of the attributes. My flex app routinely reloads 
this file, but this is cumbersome as it has to reload all the objects 
and all users of the app don't update simultaneously since the timers 
all start at differnet times. Looking for some good advice and would be 
willing to pay for expert help.

[flexcoders] Parallel requests using RemoteObject with RTMP

[Manohar Madhusudan Joshi]

Our flex app makes multiple backend calls for loading single webpage.
Each call goes to database, that takes some processing time. 
We were using RemoteObject with my-amf. 
We could make our app send multiple requests at a time by setting
distinct endpoints for each request. 
But, we found that in IE, we can have only 2 requests at a time. 
And we don't want to change registry for overriding this. 
So, we changed to RemoteObject with my-rtmp. 
But, now it looks like requests are being executed serially.
We tried setting concurrency to multiple.

Any idea what is happening ?

know for sure that a Socket Policy server is not running on the box, 
because I shut it down, yet the messages still come through 
successfully. And I am connecting AFTER I shut down the policy server.

I was expecting a security violation when I shut down the policy 
server.

Can anyone tell me what's going on?

[flexcoders] html component, different profile (means of firefox)

[yigit boyar]

hi all,
I'm trying to create test clients for my website using adobe AIR.
Since the HTML instances in the application share the data, I cannot 
login with two users.
I tried giving distinct userAgent values but it did not work.

In firefox, by giving commandline option -no-remote, I can login to my 
website
using different (firefox)profiles.

How can I achieve this using AIR ?

thanks.

[flexcoders] Fullscreen and sort of maxHaight and maxWidth

[moyosaned]

IS there a way you can use the hardware scaling, and scale to a
certain maxHeight and maxWidth?

I'm using an actionscript project, so without the flex-framework

So again fullscreen and like video or images, scale to a max height
and width

Re: [flexcoders] So I guess I don't understand states

[Dennis Falling]

Yeah, I didn't understand states.  Changing from one state to another always
unplays the properties and styles set in the previous state.  Not a fan of
that at all but that explains all my confusion.

[flexcoders] creating a World Clock and need a little help with the time and date

[Mark]

The Web Service I found returns a few key pieces of data but I'm not 
sure how to convert this in AS.  Here's what it's returning:

UtcOffsetTicks
CurrentTimeTicks
IsDaylightSaving

I believe the first two are returning the time and/or date in 
nanoseconds but I'm not 100%, while the 3rd is true/false.  Can anyone 
help with the math/AS here?

This is the Service:

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Profiler... what is the method [tincan]?

[Vijay Ganesan]

I see [tincan] taking >50% of time in the performance profile of my app.  
I'm using Flex Data Services's RemoteObject. However the performance
profiling I'm doing is for some client-side interactions/animations
long after results have returned from the RemoteObject call to the
server. If [tincan] is related to NetConnection, I don't understand
why it should figure in the performance after the call to the server
is completed. 

Any pointers would be appreciated. My animation performance is
horrendous and I sure would like to dig into the thing that is taking
half the overall time.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Flash Player concurrent instance limitations

[justneedauniquename]

Our team began stress testing the server portion of our Flex
application. We built our own stress tester that will fire up
instances of Firefox on different machines which run a stress tester
written in Flex. We were hoping to launch 80 instances per machine, so
we could monitor traffic with about 2000 users, but Firefox crashes
after about 35 instances, and blames its failure on the shockwave
flash player. We've also attempted this test with IE and just like
Firefox it crashes at around 35 instances. Is there a known issue with
the Flash player that would cause this problem, and is there a version
of the Flash player that could help us resolve this problem? We are
running our stress tests on Windows XP computers, using Firefox, and
the Flash player v. 9. Each request does send cookies back to the
server. In fact if we have 35 instances running then each request will
send down 35 cookies along with some information to help identify the
correct cookie. I don't suspect the cookies are the problem. Any help
would be appreciated. We definitely would like to be able to launch
more instances of stress tester, so we can get a better picture of
where limits are, right now we're just coasting through the stress tests.

[flexcoders] Label or Text ,how to control the vertical position of text inside the component

[alex]

For example I have a Label with height of 14px , the distance of
capitalized letter is 6px from top and 3px from bottom how can I move
it up or down ? 
"verticalCenter" style looks like does not do what I want ( or I'm not
using it right..)

Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Trick button into rendering mouseover/mouseout states

[Dennis Falling]

Right, I dug around for a while in the framework and CSS looking for the
actual skin.  In LinkButtonSkin.as, it specifies the upskin and overskin,
but because this is all inside a single file and it uses the appropriate
skin, it seems that I can't tell it to use the upskin for the overskin

case "overSkin":
{
drawRoundRect(
0, 0, w, h, cornerRadius,
rollOverColor, 1);
break;
}

If I ever run into any issues with my .png I can just copy the skin file and
replace rollOverColor, 1 with 0, 0 for every state and I'll get the same
effect.

Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] flex components in pure as3 app - possible?

[Jamie S]

Qi Labs has a good article on using Flex components in Flash ( which
is kinda like what you are trying to do )

http://labs.qi-ideas.com/2007/12/25/using-flex-compiled-code-within-flash/

basically you package up all of the Flex framework classes you need
and all of their dependancies and turn it into a swc that you can
compile your AS3 code against. Unfortunately, Flex components tend to
have A LOT of dependancies which makes it hard to keep file size down
as Alex mentioned.

[flexcoders] Re: States

[Tim Hoff]

Yes Scott, any Flex component can have multiple states.  Very cool, if
you  ask me; especially because of the effects and transitions that can
be applied to state changes.  Just search the help docs for "view
states"  and/or "viewStack" and you'll get a ton of info.

Does anyone know the technical limitations for this? Will it only extract
the hard coded text, or does it actually know what's going on in the
application? I did see the bulletin that Google now crawls flash content,
but didn't see many details. I'm just curious how this is going to impact
future Flex development. Google friendly design patterns? Any thoughts?

I don't think limiting it to adobe.com is very helpful, since depending

specific, and I can put my fingers on what I need in seconds.

While I saw Randy's posts on how to limit the search using the google 
site keywords to get it just down to the LiveDocs for the version of 
Flex you're interested in, to me that's a bigger PIA than just going 
through the help.  And of course, it doesn't provide the specificity of 
the search context in the help.  My main concern about going through 
the help is that FB3 running with the help open will use more and more 
memory until my laptop is burning my legs.  If it weren't for that I'd 
have Flex open all the time and it wouldn't matter.

RE: [flexcoders] Passing Dates to DateChooser via XML Problem

What are you expecting out of this node:

Looks vewwy suspicious to me.  I know of no way to make a string

Subject: [flexcoders] Passing Dates to DateChooser via XML Problem

 

Hi guys, 

The problem I'm having is as follows : 

I have a combobox that holds information on different countries and
when this is updated by the user (ie they pick a new country) a region
combo box is then automatically updated. 

The countries XML file holds information for the combobox with the
country and the location of a new XML file which holds all the
information on its regions as follows :



Spain
xml/spain.xml 


A similar XML file has the regions of Spain with certain available
dates of staying and this is linked to a DateChooser control and this
is where I'm running into difficulties. 



Somewhere in Spain
new Date(2008,7,17) 
 

When this date is passed into the ArrayCollection it doesn't seem to
be associated with the data value in the comboBox yet it seems to work
fine when the new XML file is referenced?

Any comments or thoughts are appreciated. 

Cheers
David

If your not using RemoteObject (recommended) you could use a

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Trick button into rendering mouseover/mouseout states

I think you can set up upSkin or overSkin, instead of just skin, but
your PNGs are ok too.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Trick button into rendering

Do you mean the CSS from the framework?  Because the only applicable css
I've seen is: 

LinkButton
{
/*disabledIcon: null; */
disabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*downIcon: null; */
downSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*overIcon: null; */
overSkin: ClassReference(null);
paddingLeft: 7;
paddingRight: 7;
/*selectedDisabledIcon: null; */ 
selectedDisabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedDownIcon: null; */
selectedDownSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedOverIcon: null; */
selectedOverSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedUpIcon: null; */
selectedUpSkin: ClassReference(null); 
skin: ClassReference("mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin");
/*upIcon: null; */
upSkin: ClassReference(null); 
}

Setting my over skin to ClassReference(null) makes it appear (I think)
like a normal button, while using
ClassReference("mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin") will make it behave like
a typical LinkButton does when moused over.  Again though, it currently
looks great and behaves the way I want it to.  Is there a reason for me
to not do it just with an alpha image?

Thanks

[flexcoders] lockedRowCount won't set

I have an advanceddatagrid that gets created in actionscript.
Everything works fine, it comes up with all the properties and data
set correctly, however when I try to set the lockedRowCount to
anything > 0, it doesn't get set.

So I have something like...

dg.lockedRowCount = 2;

and if I set a break point and debug, it has lockedRowCount = 0

Any idea what could be going on here, I even tried setting it in a
function that gets called at the very end after everything else is
done, and it still doesn't work.

I'd really appreciate any help.

Certainly on Windows, there is a special file name under c:\windows for the 
current back ground image iirc, and you can overwrite that from AIR using the 
file IO.
Linux doesn't do anything so silly, and I expect Mac doesn't either.

You can request the user sets their back ground picture to a file under your 
control, but I don't know if any of the three O/S will poll that file for 
changes consistently, and even if they do you probably can't alter their 
frequency.

[flexcoders] Re: Fast String concatenation

[polestar11]

The only appendText function I found was on a TextField object. I need
something for Strings. I tried the string.concat method and got the
following for the following tests:

test1: 500ms
test2: 2200ms
private function test1():void {
var i:int = -1;
var s:String = ""
var app:String = "append";
var time:int = getTimer();
while(++i < 100) {
s += "A";
}
val1 = getTimer() - time;
callLater(test2);

}
private function test2():void {
var i:int = -1;
var s:String = ""
var app:String = "append";
var time:int = getTimer();
while(++i < 100) {
s.concat("A");
}

val2 = getTimer() - time;   
callLater(showResult);
}

The trick to 
[<>&*?/[EMAIL PROTECTED]":] 
is to get the escaping correct. \ has to be, for instance.
Try adding additional chars one at a time and resolving as you go.

Anyone can see the output of them, iirc, with the debug player.
It's up to you, but I'd want them stripped out.

[flexcoders] Passing Dates to DateChooser via XML Problem

[tspyro2002]

Hi guys, 

The problem I'm having is as follows : 

I have a combobox that holds information on different countries and
when this is updated by the user (ie they pick a new country) a region
combo box is then automatically updated. 

The countries XML file holds information for the combobox with the
country and the location of a new XML file which holds all the
information on its regions as follows :


 
  Spain
  xml/spain.xml 
 

A similar XML file has the regions of Spain with certain available
dates of staying and this is linked to a DateChooser control and this
is where I'm running into difficulties. 



Somewhere in Spain
new Date(2008,7,17) 
 

When this date is passed into the ArrayCollection it doesn't seem to
be associated with the data value in the comboBox yet it seems to work
fine when the new XML file is referenced?

Any comments or thoughts are appreciated. 

Cheers
David

[flexcoders] stops ignored in ambeded MovieClip

[gdoucen]

Hi,

i'm convinced that this topic have been already adressed before but, i
have not found it.

When i embed a movieClip into my flex application, all the controls
like stop located in my MovieClip (created in flash IDE) are ignored
in flex.

I can control the embedded movieClip from flex but it's not the
solution with a complex animation.

here is the way i have done it
[Embed(source="assets/assets.swf", symbol="PresenceSymbol")]
public class PresenceSymbol extends MovieClipAsset{...}

the movieclip loop without control.

Any help ?

Thanks in advance. feel free to redirect me.

[flexcoders] States

[Scott]

 

Can states be managed independently in components?  In other words, can
I have unique and active states in each of my components or can I only
have one state for the whole application?

 

 Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Fast String concatenation

[Simon Bailey]

Try the much faster appendText() method :)

Hi there

I wanted to check if there are any tricks one can do to improve the
speed on concatenating strings.

I know in Java there is a StringBuilder class which is faster than the
'+' operator. I havent seen an equivallent for Actionscript, so is var
mystring:String = 'string1' + 'string2' the fastest way to concatenate
strings?

[flexcoders] combobox fills in with blank element

[netdeep]

I have an ArrayCollection which is the dataProvider for a combobox in a custom 
component.  
However the ArrayCollection is located in the application so I assign it to the 
custom 
component via actionscript in the component.  

When I call addItem on the ArrayCollection the items go into the combobox, 
however the 
first element is always blank.  How can I can get rid of this and get the 
combobox to add only 
the items I am adding to the ArrayCollection?

Re: [flexcoders] Pass parameters to module

[Oleg Filipchuk]

Hi Giro,
I'd recommend to use ModuleManager - it gives you much more control over
workflow. And in that case you may use interfaces:

protected var info: IModuleInfo;

> protected function loadModule ( moduleUrl: String ): void
> {
>   info = ModuleManager.getModule ( moduleUrl );
>   info.addEventListener ( ModuleEvent.READY, moduleReadyHandler );
>   info.addEventListener( ModuleEvent.ERROR, errorHandler );
> }
> protected function moduleReadyHandler ( event: ModuleEvent ): void
>  {
>   var module: IMySuperCustomModule = info.factory.create() as
> IMySuperCustomModule;
>   module.dataProvider = someSuperImportantData;
>   addChild ( module as DisplayObject );

[flexcoders] Caching problem with HttpSevice

[nehavyas13]

Hi,

I am trying to call a url by using HTTPService. Hitting this url &
passing two parameters, starts/stops a service.

This is working fine when I try to do it locally. But when I put it on
the server it does not work at all. It worked yesterday 1-2 times but
after that it does not work. I have to embed the .swf file in a
 tag and provide the name of .swf file in  tag.

Would this be a proxy caching problem?

I have used "POST" method and also set some dummyparameter in the url
to be "dummyPara="+new Date().time, but still does not work. Also as
shown below the header has Cache-Control:no-cache set. But still does
not work.

Can somebody suggest me how to solve this?

The header returned by the url is :

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:32:59 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Expires: -1
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 261

[flexcoders] Tile Transitions

[DannyT]

Does anyone have a url which demonstrates the different transitions
available for a tile list or similar?

Google isn't coming up with anything,

[flexcoders] Re: TextInputs - no cursor

[Sid Maskit]

Well, without seeing more code, I don't think I can say any more than
I already have.

As a sidenote, having proved myself capable of idiocy in infinite ways
when coding, I would advise against ever seriously saying something
like, "I cannot imagine that there is an error in this code."
