[flexcoders] TextSnapshot issue within AIR Window
Hi, In AIR, TextSnapshots are not properly working when used in mx.core.Window's subclass. Details of the scenario is as under: Create and open object of custom subclass of Window in Adobe AIR. Within this subclass do the following: Load the swf file: var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load(new URLRequest(urlOfSWF)); Get the TextSnapshot from the Loader's content: var mc:MovieClip = loader.content as MovieClip; var textsnap:TextSnapshot = mc.textSnapshot; Now call: var ret:String = textsnap.getText(10, 20); The returned string is empty even the textsnap.charCount is larger. Similarly textsnap.hitTestTextNearPos always return -1. But if the same process is done in the main AIR application instead of withing Window subclass, then all works as expected. Does Textsnapshot work within Window? Is there any thing wrong being done in above steps? Thanks, Ahmed
[flexcoders] FYI: Re: Text shift during printing
I think its a bug of flex that if the container's scrollbars are shifted then there is a text shift in the print. In earlier messages I said that the scrollbars are of the browser window, but that was wrong, infact the scrollbars are of flex application object. As a workaround of the problem, now when user presses print-button then I shift the scrollbars to the zero position and then the text shift problem gets solved in print.

I think this is an extreme complicate issue. Flex is based on Flash Player. At least in Brazil, softwares made in Flash is "the coolest but not functional", "funny intros" or "games in flash" and such. Is very difficult find some real developer for Flash who really knows AS. And those, charge a fortune. Based on that, and the plus that Adobe is "the photoshop company", make a little difficult that clients believe on Flex. I read on a blog (sorry, dont remember where) that the better way of sell an application on Flex, is not mention a word about flash player, flex, macromedia or adobe. You tell the client what amazing things he will have with this new technology and, after he go nuts, then you tell him that the Big Adobe is who sign the tools. Then you have other issue. Here, at least, the project managers have the tendency to new technologies. But not new as meaning "the best"... new as meaning "microsofts the best". I never agree with this vision, but one project manager told me something interesting: "when you buy a new car, you want the 'top most' from that well know company... you dont want something old, or refurbished." I think that Adobe is on the right path. Gaining territory from below. Making those project managers accept Flex before final clients. Making those project managers indicate Flex for the applications. Then, when clients begin to think in Flex before ask for an study, we will have those 1.000.000 developers on stand buy :) Today, at least here in Brazil, we dont have much developers, so there is no logic start selling projects without competent developers or we will only mark adobes flex as a bad product for the clients (this happen with dotNet and Java here in Brazil).

Re: [flexcoders] SQL Server and Flex 2
Joe, the first learning step to just get something going is to write .NET/ASP pages that output simple XML that your Flex app consumes. In the Flex Docs lookup stuff on "HTTPService". Using HTTPService you can just connect to any URL that spits back XML, and then in Flex you can work with that XML data. mx:HTTPService id="srv" url="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://localhost/somexml.asp">"http://localhost/somexml.asp" useProxy="false" / And you could then display the results in a datagrid mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{srv.lastResult.emps.employee}" editable="true" mx:columns mx:Array mx:DataGridColumn dataField="first" headerText="First" editable="true" width="60"/ mx:DataGridColumn dataField="last" headerText="Last" width="60"/ /mx:Array /mx:columns /mx:DataGrid Where the XML output looks something like: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ? emps employee firstJeff/first lastSmith/last /employee employee firstJohn/first lastDoe/last /employee /emps BUT... ultimately you want to use WebServices, which is almost exactly the same from the Flex side. But there may be some challenges with how .NET WebServices handle certain object/data types. Joe wrote: Okay, I'm pretty new to the Flex scene and am very impressed with the development so far. My company is wanting to start developing a database application using an Ajax technology and realize I'm a little behind the curve since Flex applications don't access data like the .net applications I normally develop. We've already bought Flex Builder 2.0 and I am being pushed to develop there. So far the interface design and interaction development I'm catching, but with the data access I'm lost. Does anyone have any idea where to begin? I've tried browsing the forums and just keep getting more confused, and all of the examples I've found on the web don't use IIS/MSSQL. Please Help!

Re: [flexcoders] can I use older ver of CF with Flex 2
Hi Clint, I can't give a definitive answer. But back in the early early early days when for Flex 2 there was just going to be a CF-Flex Adapter, I tested to see if Flex 2 would work without any upgrades/patches - and for simple stuff it worked. Though no idea what issues you'll run into with the current version. Your safest route may be to use cfc's as a webservice until your hosted solution upgrades.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 :: Seperate Mailing List :: Component developers - Framework Devlopment
I've actually quietly made some new Flex mailing lists; I've let it simmer while waiting for Flex 2 to become final. I don't think too granular of lists works well as there's too much overlap in a lot of things. But I do see one problem arising with one super list like this - not only are the spectrum of topics vast, now you got to content with two major versions of the language in use (1.5 and 2), and so you'll have to do a lot prefacing of context in every single message. So... to alleviate that, I created the following: Flex 2- General :: General discussion regarding anything Flex 2. http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-General Flex 2- Coldfusion :: Topics regarding Flex to CF integration http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-CF Flex Builder 2 :: Discussion regarding the IDE, debugging, design, etc http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-Builder Flex Jobs :: Recruiters welcome! http://groups.google.com/group/FlexJobs Tim Hoff wrote: I agree with you. It might be beneficial to have a separate list for component/framework related threads. It's probably cumbersome to weed through the development questions and answers some times. I personally joined this list because I was led here by a link at Adobe and the list description was applicable to my Flex usage. The flexcoders mailing list is for enterprise software developers, developing Rich Internet Applications using Macromedia Flex. The list will discuss methods and practices for Flex RIA development, including MXML and ActionScript 2.0, as well as best-practices including testing, design patterns, J2EE and .NET integration, etc. However, imho this is a two-way street. Application developers learn and benefit from component/framework threads. And conversely, some component/framework developersappreciate the feedback from developers that are using Flex to create real enterprise solutions. I am slowly but surely digging deeper into the Flex framework and its advanced concepts. So for me, it's good to have both sides in the same place.

[flexcoders] CFLEX.Net - Welcomes Posters....
Greetings All! For years I've sought out ways to achieve RIAs combined with the reality of rapid development and high pressure deadlines. This became a reality for me when Flex was released, and I have been championing its cause ever since. Flex is near and dear to my heart, and more importantly so is the community. In my own little way to support the community I put together a sort of "Flex Cookbook" called CFLEX to aggregate all the little tidbits of knowledge that were floating around there. My goals are to increase the size of the community by lowering the barrier to entry; so however or wherever that knowledge lay, I've been either hosting it or just linking to it. The ultimate goal of course is to make it completely community driven. I've taken that one step further by putting in the extra time to make that happen. You can now log into www.cflex.net, and shortly after creating an account you'll have the ability to post content. So for those of you who do not have Blogs, you are welcome to share your knowledge at CFLEX. Those of you that do, and create a "here's how to..." posting, feel free to add link from CFLEX to that particular posting. It goes beyond postings of course. As portal of sorts I'd like to list your publicly available Flex Apps, Components, Job Postings, User Groups, Consulting companies that specialize in Flex, Training programs, other Flex knowledge sites like FlexCF.com, as well as the leading experts and their blogs. Suggestions are welcome! -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!

Re: [flexcoders] Flex and Testing
Well you're talking about load testing. In terms of functionality and regression testing I recently posted about this topic: http://www.dopejam.com/shownewsitem.cfm?NewsID=215 We did some analysis. QuickTest Pro from Mercury is the only QA testing tool that officially will support Flex 2. But in our testing of various products, we found that Seapine's QA Wizard is vastly superior and cheaper.

Re: [flexcoders] Developing Rich Clients book
It's an excellent book I have to say, but keep in mind that it was written for Flex 1.0, so some of the examples break in 1.5, and a lot of them need to be re-written for 2.0. Besides the examples, it's the concepts that are very important, and provide the reader of what features are available in Flex, and how they work generally. Though at this point in time, I'd wait for a 2.0 book since architecturally a lot of things have changed fundamentally since 1.0. pixelgeek wrote: Maybe a potentially touchy subject considering the group mods but is the Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex book a worthwhile purchase now?

Presumably there will be a flash 9 at some point but speculating about it when there is an imminent release of a version that will precede some far off potential flash 9 doesnt make much sense. Regarding 8.5 penetration, the point is that by the end of 2006, because of the way the updaters work you could very well have a majority of active users on 8.5 by the end of this year.

Re: [flexcoders] Double database Insertions with initialize
Well the first thing to determine is, is qiAdminListFileNumAdd() being called twice. Eg open up your net connection debugger and see if a call is being made twice, or on the result handler pop up an alert and see if that alerts occurs twice, etc... My guess is that is the case. And my super wild guess is that that Canvas is being included in your app as a custom component twice. comp:mycomp1 ../ comp:mycomp2.../ Jeremy Rottman wrote: I have started to develope a simple flex app using coldfusion as my backend.

Re: [flexcoders] How do I generate useful CFC Errors?
Ya I do something similar. All my cfc's extend a basic root CFC that contains a function that generates a common return structure which has the following elements: - Msg, a message for the user - isError, a flag indicating if an error occured or not. - returnStatus, a return code (eg OK, BADQUERY, etc...) So in your cfc you do something like: cfset stResult = returnStruct() cftry cfquery ... ... /cfquery cfcatch type=any cfset stResult.isError = true cfset stResult.returnStatus = BADQUERY cfset stResult.msg = CFCATCH.Detail /cfcatch /cftry cfreturn stResult Then in Flex on any WS or RO call if an error occured you can alert the user and do whatever you need to do. Mohanraj Jayaraman wrote: Most of my functions in the CFC return's an object (Struct) that has both the 'code' and 'message' apart from the other details you need. Here's an example cfcomponent .. cffunction name=getQuery hint= returntype=struct access=remote cfargument type=struct name=stData required=yes cfset var retStruct = StructNew() cfset retStruct['code']= 0 cfset retStruct['message'] = Message from Function getQuery: cftry cfquery name=qry_getqry datasource=#dsn# your query /cfquery cfset retStruct['dpCustomQuery'] = queryToArray(qry_getqry) cfset retStruct['code'] = 100 cfset retStruct['messaage'] = 'Custom query data retrieved successfully' cfcatch type=any cfset retStruct['message'] = Error Details : retStruct['message'] cfcatch.Message cfcatch.Detail /cfcatch /cftry cfreturn retStruct /cffunction /cfcomponent In your Flex code , you will always get 'code' and 'message' in your 'result' object and you can process your code based upon the 'code' you receive.

Re: [flexcoders] Error executing database querry
One of the practices I've been using in Flex development using CF is to build a function test page that can be used to test functions in the CFC's that your Flex app will be calling. This makes it easier when debugging to verify if everything on the CF side is good and get the detailed CF diagnostics when the function fails. Though SQL wise there could be a lot of things that could cause the stuff below to bomb. Eg if brand_id is an integer field the '#arguments.brandToAdd.brand_id#' is trying to pass a string to that field. Likewise with created_by, and modified_by.

In October, Macromedia's last quarterly results announcement as an independent company showed it was still growing strongly after the announcement of its acquisition: sales came in at $127.9 million, up 18%, and net income came to $20.3 million. It put that success down to demand for Flex and Breeze. http://www.cbronline.com/article_feature.asp?guid=BA5BF7B4-C68A-4B9E-89F5-3000E337C016 Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy!

Re: [flexcoders] Themes (was TemplateMonster.com)
On the topic of themes... I never really looked into themes since that wasn't a priority. But was thinking it'd be great to start making an open library of themes for Flex2. Has anyone produced graphical skins or an entire theme that includes skins for Flex2? Has the process changed from 1.5 to 2? In 1.5 from my understanding you basically modified HaloTheme.fla and exported it to a swc. I was reading in 2.0 that you use compc to accomplish it, unfortunately page 567 of the app dev guide has been completed yet which covers 9 slicing. Thx! John C.

Title: TemplateMonster.com I've bought templates from them before. It's essentially a zip file with all the raw assets so that you can apply to your own situation (sample HTML code that put all the graphics together, Photoshop files, FLAs, etc...). As far as I know they don't have anything that would be immediately plug and playable. But if you spend the time you can make your own skins / styles / etc... based on the package. But it'll be great in the future when people start publishing full fledged Flex themes that can be easily applied.

In Coldfusion you can invoke a CFC, and it will live throughout the execution of that page. cfobject component=foo name=myComp cfscript myComp.init(x,y,z); .. .. someInfo = myComp.getMe(something); //results of which are based on the initialization of the above someResult = myComp.do(somthing); /cfscript And so foo persists throughout the execute of that page.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex prototype - production approach
I'll second the A approach. I'm a firm believer in the iterative development approach (sometimes called the prototyping model, lightweight methodology, etc...), as opposed to the waterfall approach (define, analyze, scope, design, build, test, implement, support). No matter how much planning and requirements gathering you do up front, if you put massive up front effort into your planning it's going to change once the end user gets their hand on something they can see. It's way better to incrementally in a cylical manner build, user eval, build, user eval, etc...So the final product will be exactly what the user wants. JesterXL wrote: Jesse Warden does A, Darron Schall does B (I would think). I like to build stuff quickly, ironing out the weird, diffucult things, and just continually kneed the mofo like dough, improving, and releaseing working builds to prove progress. Sometimes, you realize a re-write is best, and you can re-use some functions and assets, but not much (which is why I call it a re-write). Since Flash Flex make that sooo fast, you do that about 3 times. I've done B, but that sucks. I hate UML, as long as you have an awesome Information Architect, who cares; take the wireframes, and go; then iterate when you can show a build, and double-check your assumptions about both the wireframes the implementation. To me, B works in better in a team, and I've had success working with others, but the pressure at the forefront to "plan it perfectly" seems like I'm being setup to fail, and when the transition from prototype to production comes; it feels cheap because the code itself wasn't really a prototype; it was a planned production piece from the get go. Obviously, I'm leaving out all of the important factors that affect the above such as investment, leeway, deadlines, # team members, accountability, aptitude, experience, etc. but bottom line, I dig A. The only really big thing about A is deadline; you're emotional attachment to building re-usable code should be inversely proportional to the amount of time you have left. So, if you have a week, don't care about it. If you have a month, definately.

But because it's a call center, the PC's that the user uses are pretty old (I'm working on getting specs). So in terms of evaluation I'm scoping out what the options are in terms of h/w upgrade is; and if just a video card upgrade (vs replacing 400 PCs) could buy me some performance.

I certainly understand that, but it's kind of tough to do a price comparison, in my opinion. Flex is, to an extent, a shrink-wrapped product with a known price tag.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Server Alternatives
Well I don't know if I would venture to "dirt cheap". What other systems are you referring to? If you're enterprise, and building mission critical apps, and especially if it affects financial performance and need to be SOX compliant you're basic setup is: - 1 Development WS - 1 QA Server - High Availability Setup (at least 2 load balanced machines). - Disaster Recovery Site (min 1 web server). If you're using decent hardware with 4CPU Xeons, you've got 5 machines * 4 cpus/ea = 20 CPUs * $15K/cpu = $300 000. You would have to REALLY boost automation, workflow efficiency, etc... to recuperate the cost of Flex licensing and Flex application development (not everyone is Scott Barnes level super coder) vs a CF/Whatever based solution. Not to say that it can't be done, and I'm sure it can (reminder: I am a huge Flex proponent); but looking at things from a business sense it has to be measureable and provable. Eg I made one Flex app that compared to what was there before saves about $200K/yr, but how much more it would save over a CF based solution is hard to measure. So when trying to sell to management the sexy $300K Flex solution vs the not as sexy $15K CF solution which gets the job done - you have to account for at least a $285Kdifference. Because the opportunity cost is that $285K could have bought you 3 or 4 more developers for that year and double your development capacity which could have resulted in a bunch more apps that save or make money that aren't addressed for that year. Bla bla Bla... $300K is a TOUGH sell even for Enterprises with the deepest of pockets, and it can be done obviously, but 'dirt cheap' in my humble opinion is understanding it a we bit. :) Scott Barnes wrote: I've been absolutely [EMAIL PROTECTED] off with the price when it first hit us, that being said i've now truly seen what FLEX does in terms of cost savings in much larger "Enterprise Service" orientated systems, and i'm now retracting my position, simply put, FLEX is dirt cheap compared to some other systems being sold on the market today that have less capabilities. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

[flexcoders] Custom Component Instantiation Sequencing?
Hey all. I'm not really sure what to accurately name the topic of this relatively simple question - but I'll roll with Custom Component Instantiation Sequencing. - Got a Tab Navigator. - I have a generic component I made which I use in various locations. It generates a summary of some information depending on information passed to it. On Initialize it takes a username and calls a remote object to get back the appropriate data. This works fine when the main mxml file calls it, but when a custom component calls it the Initialize seems to occur before the databinding occurs. The problem I'm having is related to the timing of how this component is initialized. This works fine: mx:Canvas label="Canv1"/ comp:Summary id="s1" myUserName=""/ /mx:Canvas mx:Canvas label="Canv2"/ comp:MyComp/ comp:Summary id="s2" myUserName="{someVar}"/ /mx:Canvas S2 calls the remote object with the appropriate username, and gets back the data... This doesn't work fine: mx:Canvas label="Canv1"/ comp:Summary id="s1" myUserName=""/ /mx:Canvas mx:Canvas label="Canv2"/ comp:MyComp/ --- This component has comp:Summary id="s2" myUserName="{someVar}"/ inside it /mx:Canvas What happens is that the remote object is called before myUserName is set. myUserName in the S2 does get set appropriately, but not before the RO is called - hence returning back the wrong data. I tried playing around with creation policy settings, but no luck.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Easiest way to connect to mysql?
Well from a Coldfusion perspective... it's extremely easy. In the Coldfusion administrator you set up a Datasource to your mySQL Database. CF comes with a mySQL driver out of the box, all you do is give it a name (eg mySQLDS), server, port, username, pw, etc... then in CF you make a file called a CFC (Coldfusion Component), which is just a text file and looks something like this in a very basic sense: mycomponent.cfc cfcomponent cffunction name=getData returnType=query access=remote cfquery name=myQuery datasource=mySQLDS SELECT * from whatever /cfquery cfreturn myQuery /cffunction /cfcomponent Then in Flex... mx:RemoteObject ... source=mycomponent mx:Method name=getData . / /mx:RemoteObject And that cfc can also be a webservice as the same time just by basically switching mx:RemoteObject to mx:WebService.
