[flexcoders] Re: flex login popup help needed pleaseeeeeeeee

[stinasius]

hi guys i think am making progress. this is what i have so far.

"login_example.mxml"

"login_form.mxml"


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









  







now i would like to connect that to this coldfusion script to have the
cfc match login details from flex and database

"memberservice.cfc"












variables.dsn = 'usr_grp';

 





















   var aMember = createObject("Component","Member").init();







  
   
 


select memID, memUserName, memPassword, 
memFirstName, memLastName,
memEmail
from member
where memUsername = 
and memPassword = 



















 




  








aMember.setMemberID( getMember.memID);
aMember.setUsername( getMember.memUserName);
aMember.setPassword( getMember.memPassword);
aMember.setFirstName( getMember.memFirstName);
aMember.setLastName( getMember.memLastName);
aMember.setEmail( getMember.memEmail);

For me, the question is: If I use someObj in the same way as my example above
(i.e. assigning it to a local variable), when will someObj get garbage
collected?

Is it (potentially) when the result/fault event is dispatched or could it be
earlier?

[flexcoders] Re: Binding Question - ArrayCollection/ResourceBundle

[securenetfreedom]

Thanks, Alex.

So I assume a flex button listens for the locale change event and
therefore updates it's label?

Are you saying create say a LocaleArrayCollection class that dispatches
the locale change event?
Or are you saying create LocaleChangeDispatcher that dispatches the
locale change event and the ArrayCollection would then update by virtue
of the dispatched event?

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

Re: [flexcoders] Filtering the List Entries depending upon the text entered in text Input box

Hi Alex
Sorry to get back so late, we had release for couple of days, With you
suggestion I made it working which means it is filtering but now it is
showing the complete XML list , Is there any way I can only show the
attribute with the friendly-name.Like suggested, i put everything in
XMListCollection instead of ArrayCollection which makes it enabel to loop
throught the whoel list but that fixing raises the display issue.I am doing
something wrong here which screwed labelfunction assignfriendlyname for the
list.Please let me know how would we fix that. Many Many thanks for your
help.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: speed of the "for each" looping

[Gordon Smith]

In section 12.6.4, "The for-in statement", of the ECMA-262 spec, it says

The mechanics of enumerating the properties (step 5 in the first algorithm, 
step 6 in the second) is
implementation dependent.

I don't see anything in the spec about Array being an exception and having a 
guaranteed for-in order. So I think an Array or ArrayCollection implementation 
is free to execute a for-in loop in any order it wants.

Funny.   I didn't realize we were talking about iterating arrays with for..in

Could you clarify this? Does this non-guarantee apply to numerically indexed 
arrays and ArrayCollections too? Or just to associative arrays and object 
properties?

The docs imply that the order is maintained by for...in with numerically 
indexed arrays. It would be a big change if that were not the case.

[flexcoders] Re: Maintaining scale when resizing tag

[Ivo]

So the solution was to set the scaleX & scaleY after I know the
dimensions of the stage. Add an event listener for added to stage and
resize, then calculate the scaling factor that will make the longest
side of the app fit into the longest side of the stage then apply the
scaling to both scaleX and scaleY .

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Best Practices: ArrayCollection of custom objects?

[Alex Harui]

There's no way to make a function parameter more "narrow" in an override, or 
have multiple signatures for functions, so there's no way to catch this at 
compile time.  You can hint the MXML compiler, but not AS, and usually you 
stuff your AC from AS.

The only thing we do is throw an error at runtime.  I suppose you could wrap 
the whole thing, or copy the code and change signatures.

Is this such a trivial question that people are passing up replying
in lieu of bringing light to my ignorance, or are there really no best

The only way I've found so far to do this is to deprecate the
overridden method, but even then from time to time we'll get a strange
error (this doesn't happen all of the time):

1021: Duplicate function definition.

Seems pretty obvious what's causing it, but we have other classes that
use this same syntax that aren't generating the error...

Is there any reason we shouldn't do this, or is there another, more
acceptable way to accomplish what we're trying to do here?

public class DataTypes extends ArrayCollection

public function DataTypes(){

You are defining dynamic objects and they are not bindable.  If you had a class

It still seems to be true.

Yes, I can see that before repeaters are involved, but the detail popup creates 
a relationship between a pair of components - so once I get to an array of such 
pairs, it seemed like I'd need a detail popup for each pair.  It's stateful, 
and it would get muddled up if one detail popup was trying to coordinate 
multiple pairs of controls.  (Basically, I wanted the repeater to manage

It's difficult to determine what your problem is without knowing a little more 
about what your DetailPopUp does/is. If you post some code it would be far 
easier to determine why one context works and another doesn't. Generally... I 
wouldn't recommend mingling non-visual and visual components in mxml.

Your error basically says that your non-visual component doesn't have an 
appropriate interface for the context you are placing it in. e.g. It should be 
a IUIComponent.

Long version:

I have an ActionScript non-visual component whose declaration looks like this:

public class DetailPopup extends EventDispatcher implements IMXMLObject

I've used this successfully inside an inline, MXML item renderer, like this:

 

  


  

  


  

  


Now that I'm switching from a DataGrid to a Grid, the code ought to look like 
this:

 


  

(X)   


  

..except that I'm getting an error, "Component declarations are not allowed 
here. (Note: visual children must implement IUIComponent.)"

After trying out a bunch of scenarios, it looks like non-visual components can 
only be declared in the outermost scope of a component or application.  Is this 
true?  This is rather awkward, as I need a DetailPopUp for each griditem.

Any tips would be very helpful!

However, until that time, all objects in the scope chain won't be 
collectable.  I don't know if that's the case in Java.

Yes, that's what I meant.  I guess it depends on how you're setting 
up someObj as to whether someObj would be eligible for garbage 
collection itself.  But the event listeners can't be released 
independently, except if the thing Ralf suggested works (interesting 
suggestion, Ralf...I use arguments.callee for other things sometimes 
myself...never thought of using it that was).

Honestly, the reason I don't use anonymous functions is that they 
don't "feel" like good coding practice to me.

Re: [flexcoders] Restrictions on non-visual component placement

[Michael Prescott]

It still seems to be true.

Yes, I can see that before repeaters are involved, but the detail popup
creates a relationship between a pair of components - so once I get to an
array of such pairs, it seemed like I'd need a detail popup for each pair.
It's stateful, and it would get muddled up if one detail popup was trying to
coordinate multiple pairs of controls.  (Basically, I wanted the repeater to
manage instances of the detail popup as well.)

[flexcoders] Re: Best Practices: ArrayCollection of custom objects?

[burttram]

Is this such a trivial question that people are passing up replying
in lieu of bringing light to my ignorance, or are there really no best
practices to speak of here?

The only way I've found so far to do this is to deprecate the
overridden method, but even then from time to time we'll get a strange
error (this doesn't happen all of the time):

1021: Duplicate function definition.

Seems pretty obvious what's causing it, but we have other classes that
use this same syntax that aren't generating the error...

Is there any reason we shouldn't do this, or is there another, more
acceptable way to accomplish what we're trying to do here?

public class DataTypes extends ArrayCollection
{
public function DataTypes(){
}

[Deprecated]
override public function addItem(item:Object):void{
}

public function addItem(item:DataType):void{
super.addItem(item);
}
}

RE: [flexcoders] Restrictions on non-visual component placement

[Tracy Spratt]

It IS, or at least was, the case that non-visual components must be at
the root mxml scope.  I will try to find it documented.

 

If the component is non-visual, then it does not matter, functionally
speaking, where in the DOM it goes.

It's difficult to determine what your problem is without knowing a

Re: [flexcoders] Restrictions on non-visual component placement

[Michael Prescott]

I think that might be a distraction, I was asking a question about the rules
of MXML, rather than asking for debugging help for my non-visual component.

But just for fun, I'll explain!  I was looking for a way to reuse the nice
way that PopUpButton manages its pop-up, so I created a non-visual component
that you could use to orchestrate "popping up" on rollover or on focus.



  



This works really well, and we use it in a few places so we can use ad hoc
detail pop-ups.  We've even used it inside a datagrid item renderer:


  


  


  


When we switched to a grid with a repeater, I discovered the prohibition on
nonvisual components that weren't parent of the root tag.

So the solution appears to be to take the guts and put it in its own
component definition, and then do this:

RE: [flexcoders] Best practice for calling asynchronous functions?

I think Amy's point is that, w/o a reference to the anonfun, you can't call 
removeEventListener on it.  If I do:

someObj.addEventListener("foo", function (e:Event) { ... } );

someObj will release the anonfun when it gets garbage collected.  However, 
until that time, all objects in the scope chain won't be collectable.  I don't 
know if that's the case in Java.

So are you saying that, in general, anonymous functions should not be used as
listeners?

If its anything like in Java, (once the calling method returned) the
anonymous function would only be referenced by the event dispatcher and so
(assuming weak references are not used) would only be garbage collected when
the event dispatcher is garbage collected. At least, that's how I understand
it.

I posted a question about this a few weeks ago, but didn't get a reply.

[flexcoders] Restrictions on non-visual component placement

[Michael Prescott]

*Short version:*

I have a non-visual component that I'm trying to declare in a repeater, but
it seems that MXML doesn't allow this.  Is this true?  How do you get around
this, create a visual component to wrap the non-visual component?

*Long version:*

I have an ActionScript non-visual component whose declaration looks like
this:

public class DetailPopup extends EventDispatcher implements IMXMLObject

I've used this successfully inside an inline, MXML item renderer, like this:

  

  


  

  


  

  


Now that I'm switching from a DataGrid to a Grid, the code ought to look
like this:

  


  

(X)   


  

..except that I'm getting an error, "Component declarations are not allowed
here. (Note: visual children must implement IUIComponent.)"

After trying out a bunch of scenarios, it looks like non-visual components
can only be declared in the outermost scope of a component or application.
Is this true?  This is rather awkward, as I need a DetailPopUp for each
griditem.

Any tips would be very helpful!

[flexcoders] Binding Question - ArrayCollection/ResourceBundle

[securenetfreedom]

Is it possible to have an ArrayCollection value updated by a resource
bundle value.

[Bindable]
public var cbDP:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
cbDP.addItem(
{label:ResourceManager.getInstance().getString('myResources','NAME') });

When changing locales at runtime, all label fields of flex components
update but the ArrayCollection does not.

Is the ResourceManager binding ignored on AC's? Is there another
solution?

Thanks,

Jeff

Just change the word "php" to "cold Fusion".  The rest of the solution

Re: [flexcoders] Best practice for calling asynchronous functions?

[Mark Carter]

So are you saying that, in general, anonymous functions should not be used as
listeners?

If its anything like in Java, (once the calling method returned) the
anonymous function would only be referenced by the event dispatcher and so
(assuming weak references are not used) would only be garbage collected when
the event dispatcher is garbage collected. At least, that's how I understand
it.

I posted a question about this a few weeks ago, but didn't get a reply.

My understanding is that anonymous functions _cannot_ get garbage 
collected unless you use weak references when you add them.  Which 
means there's a really good chance they'll get garbage collected 
before they get called.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: flex login popup help needed pleaseeeeeeeee

[Tracy Spratt]

Your next steps:

*   Create a simple php page that takes an http request, reads the
UserId and Password request parameters.  Allow for either form(POST) or
querystring(GET) parameters.  Keep the authorization logic simple to
start with, by hardcoding a userid and password to match.  Have the php
page return an xml response, something like:   Make status="fail" if the user/pwd do  not match.
Test this page in a browser.
*   Declare an HTTPService tag in your main app.  Set
resultFormat="e4x".  Declare result and fault handlers. Set the url to
the tested php page above 
*   Define a tryLogin function that takes user and password as
arguments.  In that function, build a request object with userId and
password properties and assign the values passed into the function.
Invoke send on the HTTPService.
*   When user clicks the login button, call the tryLogin function,
passin in the values entered by the user.
*   In the result handler, read the event.result as XML, and look at
the @status.  If success, set the ViewStack.selectedIndex to show the
Admin view

Re: [flexcoders] Getting NULL Object Reference while deleting last element of the list

[Marco Catunda]

Anuj,

I think there is something wrong with this structure. Why make it into for loop?
The _addToAssociatedDevicesArr is received the same value

for(var i:*=0;i<_addDevicesLen-1;i++)
{
_addToAssociatedDevicesArr=nvrsInPoolList.selectedItems;
}

The last loop has the same problem. The index variable t is never used.
Why it is in for loop?

for(var t:*=0;t<_addToAssociatedDevicesArr.length;t++)
{
if(nvrsInPoolList!=null)
{

IList(nvrsInPoolList.dataProvider).removeItemAt(nvrsInPoolList.selectedIndex);
}
}

About the problem you complain

I think one of this variable is null value:

camerasInPoolList
arrAddToPool
arrRemoveFromPool

Re: [flexcoders] how do you blur smoothly between two states?

[Flex Noob]

I know I'm answering my own questions but hope someone has gone down the same 
path as me, can tell if I'm overlooking something obvious or wants to learn 
from my mistakes. . . 

My previous idea didn't work thanks to 
transition>blur>BlurInstance>TweenInstance>Tween.endTween.

endTween sets the tween to whatever state it should be at in the final 
position. In this case whatever blurXTo and blurYTo is.

to work around I'm listening for an update event and reset the blur to the last 
known value after it gets set to the end value on effectEnd. HOWEVER, this 
causes a noticable flicker as the endTween state is briefly displayed because 
BlurInstance.onTweenEnd.calls the private setBlurMethod.

so it now seems that i need to override the endTween method in my own class to 
prevent the tween from setting its to values. Unless of course I'm missing 
something painfully simple.

?

just dug into the AS3 classes and it by default  fromX/fromY has a default

values. I could create an event that listens for the update, the only time the

Instead what I'll do is call a function to iterate the filters list, grab
