[flexcoders] Putting a Rectangle around a "selected" line in a List component

[Michael]

I'm fairly new at this and am trying to extend a List component so 
that a rectangle will appear round the selected line (and around the 
roll-over) instead of a solid color.

I'm assuming that the focusRect property that is inherited from the 
InteractiveObject is the one I need to deal with, but I can't seem to 
figure out how to use it.

Are there any examples out there that I could see??

[flexcoders] Re: Putting a Rectangle around a "selected" line in a List component

[Michael]

I found the solution.

I had to override the ListBase class in my List compnent extention, 
not the List class itself as it was just overriding the ListBase 
class drawHighlightIndicator() function.

//
// Override drawHighlightIndicator() function from ListBase
//
/** Import ListBase, IListItemRenderer, Sprite and Graphics classes
* to override drawHighlightIndicator() function in ListBase
*/
  override protected function drawHighlightIndicator(
  indicator:Sprite, x:Number, y:Number,
  width:Number, height:Number, color:uint,
  itemRenderer:IListItemRenderer):void
  {
  var g:Graphics = Sprite(indicator).graphics;
  g.clear();
  //g.beginFill(color1); //** no fill on rollover highlight
  g.lineStyle(3,color2,1);//add lineStyle to add 3 pt. border
  g.drawRect(0, 01, width, height);
  //g.endFill();

  indicator.x = x;
  indicator.y = y;
  }
//

[flexcoders] AIR NativeWindow Event.preventDefault() unexpected behavior

[Michael]

I'm attempting to intercept the NativeWindowBoundsEvent dispatched
whenever a NativeWindow is dragged in AIR, and am running into a bit
of a problem. If I add an Event listener for
NativeWindowBoundsEvent.MOVING to the initial application nativeWindow
and call preventDefault(), the window behaves as expected and does not
allow itself to be dragged.

If instead I create a new NativeWindow and apply the event listener to
that, the event fires as normal however preventDefault() has no effect.

Now, I've tried adjusting the event listener parameters to give the
listener a higher priority, however even then it's not working. Has
anyone else run into this, and if so, what's the solution?

[flexcoders] Digital Signature

[Michael]

Java applets and now AIR apps both have the concept of a digital signature. The 
loader of the 
apps are able to verify that the apps have not been corrupted. Is there 
anything similar for 
SWFs? Can the Flash player verify a digital signature?

[flexcoders] Accessing HTTP Request Headers: Cookies, Referrer, User Agent, etc.

[Michael]

When you embed a SWF, the HTTP request includes lots of headers which
include the cookies for the domain that your SWF belongs to, the
referrer (should be the url of the page that the SWF is embedded in),
the user-agent, etc. Is this exposed anywhere, like mx.core.Application,
etc. ?

Is it not exposed because of security? Is there somewhere to affect this
through security policy?

It actually seems like if it is NOT included it would cause more
security problems than it would solve. A lot of sites use cookies for
authentication for example, and if cookies aren't there then a different
(maybe less secure) method must be used to propagate security.

[flexcoders] Re: Library SWC in Flash CS3

[Michael]

I tried to do the same thing. I had a library SWC that could be used
by Flex projects easily. I could not get it to work with Flash CS3
projects. I tried compiling it into a SWC in Flash CS3, using their
convoluted process, but could not get any .fla file to import from the
SWC and compile. I wound up just using the AS source code for those
projects. I don't know if there's a solution or not, but if there is,
I could not find it in time. Hope you have better luck.

[flexcoders] Re: File upload compression (esp. gzip)?

[Michael]

You could probably do an AIR app that could do this. You need to be
able to read the bytes of the file inside your app, that's a no-go for
a SWF running inside somebody's browser (unless they give you special
permissions, and even then there's no controls available for browsing
to the file, etc.)

>From AIR, you have flash.filesystem.* package. You can browse local
file system and open up the file as FileStream. Then you can use any
algorithm you want to alter the bytes before sending them to the server.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3 Beta (+ AIR) and Flex 2 plugin

[Michael]

>From the Flex 3 page
<http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder3/>  :

"Please note that you can install a separate copy of Flex Builder 3
standalone and it will remain separate from any Flex Builder 2
installations. If you wish to use the plug-in version of Flex Builder 3
you will need to install it in a separate installation of Eclipse as the
two plug-in versions cannot co-exist in a single installation. Also note
that a project that has its settings modified by Flex Builder 3 will not

So no, you can't have both the Flex2 and Flex3 plugin installed on the

[flexcoders] mouseOver event not recognized while dragging an object

[Michael]

This is probably going to be an obvious answer, but it's just not coming to 
me...

I have an image with a mouseOver and mouseOut event.  Obviously it works just 
fine when I 
normally move the mouse over the image and out from the image.  But if I start 
dragging 
something from a TileList and mouseOver the image or mouseOut from the image, 
the event 
isn't triggered.  It's like it's ignored when I'm dragging something...

Now...  Maybe it can be "tricked" using dragEnter and dragExit, but I think 
that can only be 
accomplished if the image accepts a drag and I don't have a need for it to do 
so.  

So...  Can anyone think of a way that my image's mouseOver and mouseOut events 
can be 
recognized whether I'm using my mouse as normal or if I'm dragging something?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Flex 2 Store That Works In Flex 3?

[Michael]

When I import the Flex Store that was created in version 2, I run the 
application  but it loads about 75% and then stops.  I know Adobe noted that 
some changes might be necessary for the Flex 2 store to run properly in Flex 3. 
 Does anyone have those changes that must be made or a source link of the store 
running in 3?

[flexcoders] Re: problem with XML in flex

[Michael]

Type "adobe flex cms" into youtube and you will find a member "mikenku" who

and uploads it.  Hope some code there helps.

[flexcoders] Re: AIR from a Flex ActionScript Project?

[Michael]

John,

You can convert your Flex project to an AIR application pretty easily.  There's 
three basic steps involved:

1) Your application should be declared as inheriting from WindowedApplication, 
rather than Application in your main myapp.mxml file.

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





2) Create an AIR app descriptor file. Here's an example.  Name it myapp-app.xml 
and place in the same folder as your main myapp.mxml file. 


http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5.1";>
com.myapp.tester
0.1
tester
FlexUnit Test Runner

tester.swf
true
standard
false
1024
768



There is detailed documentation on the AIR app descriptor format on the Adobe 
site:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff1.html

3) Use the AIR MXML compiler (amxmlc rather than mxmlc) in your build scripts.  
If you're using Flex Builder, you can add an AIR Project Builder to your in the 
Project Properties > Builders pane.

That should be enough to get you started.  Good luck.

[flexcoders] Re: AIR from a Flex ActionScript Project?

[Michael]

John,

Though your code is in ActionScript, you should just be able to use the MXML 
WindowedApplication tag just at the very top-level, and initialize your main 
ActionScript UI within an  tag.

Something like:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
  applicationComplete="init();">






Finally, I left out a step (4) in my previous message.  Steps 1-3 are 
sufficient to run your AIR app in the debugger, but to distribute your AIR 
application you typically need to generate and sign a .air file.  Flex Builder 
can do that; from the raw SDK, you should check out the adt tool.

Hope this helps,
Michael Portuesi

[flexcoders] Re: Capturing and Saving an image in Flex (BitmapData)

[Michael]

In order to save the image file to disk, you need to use the AIR File API, 
which is available only to AIR applications.

You can capture the image, encode it as PNG or JPEG using 
mx.graphics.codec.JPEGEncoder or mx.graphics.codec.PNGEncoder, then upload the 
resulting byte to a server.  Then your server application can save the file to 
disk on the server.

I found these two links helpful:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/780018/in-flex-how-do-i-create-populate-and-display-a-bitmap

[flexcoders] Re: FlexUnit + Ant + Continuos Integration

[Michael]

Hey there,

I've successfully integrated FlexUnit tests into my continuous integration 
environment (in my case, CruiseControl.rb).

I did things a little differently than most people:

1) I don't use Ant to drive the tests.  We have our own build scripts in Ruby, 
and don't make much use of Ant.

2) The test runner in my case is an AIR application.  This sidesteps several 
problems inherent with FlexUnit, one of them (as you noted) the need to open a 
web browser.

I wrote this all up on my blog:

http://digitaldumptruck.jotabout.com/?p=26

Hope you find some of this useful.

[flexcoders] maya to flash 10

[MIchael]

Hi,

Is there a tutorial that shows a good workflow for exporting a maya model and 
importing it as a 3d movie clip in flash 10?

thanks,
Michael

[flexcoders] Re: maya to flash 10

[MIchael]

This is for papervison3d. As far as I can tell I should not need that.  Flash 
10 has 3d built in.

Is there a process that mimics the papervision3d process but for flash 10?

My understanding is that is exactly what papervision3d does as well.  How does 
papervision3d differ?

[flexcoders] mouseOver icon

[Michael]

I have a tree control that uses an itemrenderer to display “Some
data Select”.  I want the select text to function
like a link button.  I have tried to put a linkButton in my itemRenderer, but
it does not show up.  I have gotten a checkbox to show up, but where the linkButton
was supposed to be was simply empty space.  I figured I would create text to
act like a linkButton.  I have it working great right now, but I am having
trouble changing the cursor from the standard image to the image that comes up
when you mouseOver a linkButton.  Anyone have a solution for this?

 

Thank you very much,

 

Michael

[flexcoders] debugging app with metadata tags

Does anyone know if this is this something that is going to

RE: [flexcoders] Re: help getting xml attribute names

Thanks Chas, but I am trying to get the
names of the attributes.  I am getting dynamic data out of a database in
XML form and I need to know the attribute names from the XML.  I just want
the attribute names at the parent level.  In the sample I have written I
would get “id” and “task”.

 

Thanks for your help, I will definitely
look at the resource you mentioned.

Suppose x:XML is the XML you show above. The "myChild" tags are
already accessible "as if" they were an array; for example, you can
say

trace(x.myChild[0].toXMLString());

which will output

/>

Also, to access an attribute, you can use any of the following:

trace(x.myChild[0].attribute("id"));
trace(x.myChild[[EMAIL PROTECTED]"id"]);
trace(x.myChild[[EMAIL PROTECTED]);

all of which will output the string "1.1".

To use the XML as an array (sort of), you can use code such as:

for (i=0; ilength(); i++) {
trace(i+" id "+x.myChild[[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
}

x.myChild.length() returns the number of elements which are tags of
the type "myChild" (note the parens; it's ".length()", not
".length").

All this and more (e.g., the ability to only refer to myChild tags
which have the attribute tool=="hammer") can be found in the
help docs

[flexcoders] XML tree dataprovider

[Michael]

I have an xml structure that is feeding a tree. 
Whenever I populate the tree it shows Object as a branch and when I open that
branch it shows all of the children.  How do I show the object branch and
only children that are tasks(and the task children)?  I don’t think I
want to remove any data from the XML because I need to preserve some
relationships here, but I do not want to display it.

[flexcoders] Talking Components

[Michael]

I have a Flex app with two custom components.   What is the best way
for these two components to talk to each other.  Pass a reference of
one component to the other, databinding, or event broadcast to each other?

I basically have one component that is a list of ID/Names, when I
double click, I want the other component to get the ID and retrieve
the extended data from the DB.   My data is not stored in the
main.mxml application.   I know in Flash you would use event
listeners, but can the event listeners in Flex also send data?  The
examples I have seen broadcast a message, but they don't seem to send
data like Flash dispatch events would.

[flexcoders] Flex2 Blocking Cursor

[Michael]

In flex 1.5 I used these functions to keep the user from
interacting with the GUI while I was retrieving data from the database, but in
flex2 they don’t work.  Does anyone know how to accomplish this in
Flex2??

 

function setBlockingCursor()

{

 // Create an "empty"
UIObject popup that blocks user input 

 inputBlocker =
popupWindow(UIObject);

 CursorManager.setBusyCursor();

}

 

function removeBlockingCursor()

{

 // Remove our blocking popup

 inputBlocker.deletePopUp();

 CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();

}

 

Thanks,

Michael

I don’t know what is going on.  I cannot think of anything that has
changed that may have caused it.  Can someone tell me if there is a better
way of doing this???

RE: [flexcoders] Image problems

[Michael]

Thanks for your reply mitch.

 

I tried discarding the leading .. and I
still get no image.  My file structure is

 

MainApp.mxml

Images(folder)

---recycle.gif

Components(folder)

---ComponentUsingImage.mxml

 

Is there something I am missing?  I
tried embedding the image in actionscript and holding it in a variable, but
that didn’t work.  Can anyone help me with this?

 

Michael

I believe there is a bug in 3.0 that
requires image embed paths to start with '/'. You can remove the leading ..

Hello all, I am trying to work with drag and drop.  I
have a canvas in which I put a background image to be a recycle bin. 
Everything was fine for about a week and all of a sudden the image has
disappeared.  I don’t know what is going on.  I cannot think of
anything that has changed that may have caused it.  Can someone tell me if
there is a better way of doing this???

[flexcoders] Multiline ComboBox

[Michael]

Does anyone know how I can get my combobox to display 2
lines as opposed to only one line.  I can display 2 lines in the dropdown area,
but not in the main combobox display.

 

Here is what I have so far:

 

public function initRenderer():void

{

var myRenderer:ClassFactory = new
ClassFactory(mx.controls.Text);

    myRenderer.properties = {maxHeight:60};

    this.cb.itemRenderer = myRenderer;

}

 



    dataProvider="{cbData}"

    labelField="{cbLabelField}"

    selectedIndex="{getSelectedIndex()}"

    change="comboBoxChange(cb.selectedItem)"/>

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Michael

Thank you Mike, that helps, and saves a

do.

Michael,

Problem is that ComboBase uses a textInput control to display the
currently selected item. The TextInput is limited to displaying a
single line of text.

You could certianly change this, but, it seems as though it will
require extending ComboBox, not just making an itemRenderer.

[flexcoders] directive broken for absolute paths using compc

[Michael]

Hello,

A minor but frustrating oddity:

I have been tinkering around with compilation configuration files and  
this question is related to 'compc' and its configuration file.

Does anyone know why compc doesn't take absolute paths inside the  
 directive?

If I run compc from ~/foo, this configuration


/bar/out.swc


places the output at ~/foo/bar/out.swc, which is not the expected / 
bar/out.swc.

This is a problem because the output file will always created in a  
directory relative to the directory from which compc is run. This  
makes portability a headache and means building custom scripts to  
ensure that either compc is run from the same place every time, or  
the output file is moved post compilation from a directory.

Any known fixes or am I missing a vital configuration directive  
elsewhere?

Regards,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Object.addEventListener vs.. adding them inline via MXML

[Michael Schmalle]

Object.addEventListener( "click", [funct1, funct2, funct3] );


No,

1. as3 is strongly typed which means the method expects a function when it
is getting an array.
2. addEventListener wouldn't even know what to do with an array.

You could, if you had your own subclass override addEventListener to do that
but, you could also just create a stack of functions in an array if they
were all going to the same event and loop through them to save code lines.

It's personal choice when you get to this point.

You can make as many calls to addEventListener as you want. So you can
add 2 or more event listeners that get triggered for the same event.

So something like:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction1);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction2);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction3);

All three of the above functions would get called when the event
triggers. You can remove each of these separately as well by using
removeEventListener and specifying the particular function you want
removed.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Object.addEventListener vs.. adding them inline via MXML

[Michael Schmalle]

could be renamed in a future release to something like "mouseClick" and

then your code wouldn't work.

Or even worse, you write "cllck", and then for days even months, you think
your app isn't working or 'works' a certain way. Come to find out the event
wasn't even getting captured. :)

This is plain ole preventative maintainence.

That is the worse case for me, renaming events is small potatoes to that
error. ;-)

Peace, Mike

On 2/7/07, Doug McCune <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


   Nope, I think the second parameter must be a function, trying to pass
an array of functions should fail.

Also, just a note: it's better practice to not use the string of the event
listener like "click" but rather the variable like MouseEvent.CLICK. They
really do the exact same thing in practice, but it's possible that within
MouseEvent the click event could be renamed in a future release to something
like "mouseClick" and then your code wouldn't work.

Hi,

In a custom component you cannot have;

You have to specify them in the Application.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Serious Bug in HistoryManager (introduced in latest release?)

[Michael Schmalle]

Oh yeah one more thing.

I know why they did this. At least a perspective.

If you have version 2.0 linking in ManagerA and they change the
implementation to ManagerB in 2.5, ManagerA will not be linked in unless
ManagerA is linked, other wise ManagerB is linked in, in 2.5 and the string
decouples the dependency of ManagerA in the last version.

may be wrong here but it makes sense to me.

It's quite interesting in the way they implemented this process but i do
believe that this particular bug has exposed a flaw in their decision.
The problem seems to be is that these singleton's are not getting
registered if they are not being used. this is generally a good thing until
the introduction of modules where the child parent relationship exposes the
flaw.

Anyway at-least we've got a fix.

Do us a favor and try not to cross post with flexcoders and flexcomponents.

All the people that can answer your question, read both lists.

Don't waste Alex's valuable time. He is an asset.


I found the solution.


Alex gave you an answer yesterday on the flexcomponentst list. This just
wastes time.

Peace, Mike

I had to override the ListBase class in my List compnent extention,
not the List class itself as it was just overriding the ListBase
class drawHighlightIndicator() function.

//
// Override drawHighlightIndicator() function from ListBase
//
/** Import ListBase, IListItemRenderer, Sprite and Graphics classes
* to override drawHighlightIndicator() function in ListBase
*/
override protected function drawHighlightIndicator(
indicator:Sprite, x:Number, y:Number,
width:Number, height:Number, color:uint,
itemRenderer:IListItemRenderer):void
{
var g:Graphics = Sprite(indicator).graphics;
g.clear();
//g.beginFill(color1); //** no fill on rollover highlight
g.lineStyle(3,color2,1);//add lineStyle to add 3 pt. border
g.drawRect(0, 01, width, height);
//g.endFill();

indicator.x = x;
indicator.y = y;
}
//

Re: [flexcoders] Scoping Issue

[Michael Schmalle]

Same issue here,

As a moderator of the flexcomponent mailing list, PLEASE do not cross post
on flexcoders and flexcomponents.

I guarantee you half your questions will not be answered when you do this.

If it is a component question dealing with the framework ask on flex
components, if it is anything other ask on flexcoders.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Object.addEventListener vs.. adding them inline via MXML

[Michael Schmalle]

Ralf,

That is an interesting approach.

I just have never had the need for something like that.. yet.

Didn't I read somewhere that the order you add listeners is the order they
get dispatched in as3 now? Plus you can use priorities.

PS From an OOP standpoint, I wouldn't do it , I would just write a wrapper
method that calls it. Much better from a maintainence aspect and intent
aspect.

  Yes that's possible, but semantically it is slightly different.
Inside the binding tag, the sequence of function calls is given by the
sequence in your code.
If you use mulitple addEventListener calls the sequence is not guaranteed.


Another possibility, which maintains the sequence, would be to use an
anonymous function

myButton.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){
 myFunction1();
 myFunction2();
 myFunction3();
})
Cheers,
Ralf.

Re: [flexcoders] tree of extended components? possible?

[Michael Schmalle]

Yes,

Look at the itemRenderer property of the Tree. It's exactly what you want.

You might also check out dataDescriptiors if your model is complicated and
you want to extend the tree using your custom component
children(itemRenderer) and model.

[flexcoders] Stealth-mode Startup seeks Superstar Software and User Interface Developer (SF Bay Area)

[Michael Sha]

Tired of working for a big company where things move slowly and it's hard to
make an impact at the level of shaping the course of the company?  Not
sharing in the upside when the projects you work so hard on are successful?
Want to join a small team of people passionate about creating something that
will have a huge impact on people?

We are a company who thinks figuring out how to invest your money is too
difficult.  We have a vision of how to revolutionize the way people invest
and are looking for a small number of talented superstars who are excited
about that vision.  If you want to play a critical role as an early member
of a consumer web startup which could put a lot of large financial services
companies out of business, we need to talk.  The founding team has years of
experience building consumer internet products that have been used by
millions of customers and have generated well over $100MM in profit.

You are someone who:

  - Is scary smart and someone we can trust will find the right answers
  to hard problems you may have never solved before.
  - Is technically brilliant, versatile, and creative.
  - Your teammates love working with.  You also have friends like you

  - Designing and implementing production websites (HTML, CSS, XML,
  Javascript, etc.)
  - HCI principles and UI best practices, and incorporating this
  experience into the concept development process
  - Building technology at the crossroads of back-end functionality and
  front-end design
  - Managing cross-browser compatibility issues
  - LAMP (PHP, Python, Perl)

We are also looking for a software engineer who is extremely versatile and
has particular experience with:

  - Distributed systems (hands-on experience preferred, academic
  experience is OK)
  - Database experience (optimizing SQL and writing software that uses
  SQL to access databases)
  - C/C++

You will:

  - Start with ideas, design products and features, architect a
  technical solution, then build, test, and launch it.
  - Be an integral member of our team and help shape our future.
  - Help build and grow the engineering team as we expand over time.  If
  you also want to lead this team, that's in the cards, if you show us you

We will:

  - Be a group of the smartest, most trustworthy, passionate, and
  interesting people you know.
  - Make sure you have what you need to be happy and productive.
  - Reward you with a rich mixture of cash and equity compensation (can
  be heavily weighted towards equity if you seek high risk for high reward)
  - Make great teammates united around a vision of how to solve some
  significant problems for people.

Interested candidates should send your resume to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Please also include in your email a summary what you're been up to for the

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Coding Guidelines

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi,

I was expecting to get ready and fight over this stuff, but hey, you are
sticking with Adobe's conventions.

I don't think there is really anything I disagree with.

Although I do use in my component classes,

dragButton_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void

When you start getting the same event handlers for differnet instances you
need this way to separate them.

IE
systemManager_mouseMouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void

Thanks for getting this out.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Coding Guidelines

[Michael Schmalle]

 I think it makes code less readable and


Oh lets all agree to disagree on this one.

Which side do you butter your bread? On the top or bottom, what??? On the
sides!!! ?

I can't stand curly braces on the method line, doesn't allow a space from
the method signature to fully read and seems cramped to me.

But that is my point, you will never get people to agree on spaces, braces
and whatever else developers have a habit doing.

... Just because Java / C++ does it, doesn't mean its right. Things always
evolve.

just kidding, maybe.

  I agree, a very interesting read, but one thing I have to disagree
with and bothers me a lot that Flex Builder does this when it creates
classes. "Close curly braces in its own line at the same position in
which the open curly brace is"... nothing bothers me more than a curly
brace on it's own line, I think it makes code less readable and
contributes to excessive scrolling when editing and reviewing code.
Oh and curly braces on case statements is weird, but actually a good
convention... that will take some relearning to work into my code.

For the most part I like what you have, I'd like to use it as a
starting point for my own organization. I think I've come from a
different wing of the java development community, since there is a lot
that bucks my own traditions.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: No core library?

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi,

One solution although hack will work;

load up a UIComponent, call describeType()

flash.utils.describeType

either trace that to the output pane and copy or save it to a file during
runtime.

You will have ALL of the information you need regarding classes to Object in
the XML file.

This will get you Sprite, DisplayObject, InteractiveObject etc but not
Number etc.

Peace, Mike

PS with this way, there is no errors, just getting them all.

Re: [flexcoders] Continuations support? or smart sleep()?

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi,

yeah he timer class does it but;

function example {
trace("before");
sleep(2000);
trace("after 2 seconds");
}

Will not work. The Flash player exectues in order of the stack. So, you
can't have a sleep method inside a method block and halt the method block.

Although something like this might be what you looking for.

function example {
trace("before");
sleep(2000, exectueAfter, "something", 1);
}

function sleep(milli:Number, func:Function, ...rest):void
{
callMethod = func
callArgs = rest
... set up timer and handlers, run timer
}

function timer_timerEndHandler(event:TimerEvent):void
{
  callMethod(callArgs)
}

function exectueAfter(arg1, arg2)
{
trace("after 2 seconds");
}

This is about as close as you will get to a 'sleep' method.

yeah, your right, always get those backwards.

should be

instead I believe. Otherwise it would just pass the rest Array to the

Hi,

yeah he timer class does it but;

function example {
trace("before");
sleep(2000);
trace("after 2 seconds");
}

Will not work. The Flash player exectues in order of the stack. So, you
can't have a sleep method inside a method block and halt the method block.

Although something like this might be what you looking for.

function example {
trace("before");
sleep(2000, exectueAfter, "something", 1);
}

function sleep(milli:Number, func:Function, ...rest):void
{
callMethod = func
callArgs = rest
... set up timer and handlers, run timer
}

function timer_timerEndHandler(event:TimerEvent):void
{
   callMethod(callArgs)
}

function exectueAfter(arg1, arg2)
{
trace("after 2 seconds");
}

This is about as close as you will get to a 'sleep' method.

RE: [flexcoders] Right click on Tree's item

[Michael Imhoff]

Hi Pablo,

 

First, you need to use the itemRollOver event of the  component to
track the last item that was rolled over, and save it to a variable for
later use. Then when the ContextMenuEvent.MENU_SELECT event is triggered,
you will refer back to this variable as it holds a reference to the
itemRenderer and therefore the data you need access to.

 

I put a working example with source code up for you at the following url:

http://michael.omnicypher.com/2007/02/flex-trees-with-context-menu_14.html

 

Hope this helps and have a great day,

Michael

RE: [flexcoders] Windows Vista & Flex

[Michael Imhoff]

Hi Bryan,

 

Sorry to hear about your experiences.  I also have a Dell D820 running RC1
of Vista Ultimate and haven't had any of these issues.  The only issue I've
had was with incorrect problem information showing up in flex builder, which
I explained in the following blog post, but I honestly think this was a flex
builder issue.

 

http://michael.omnicypher.com/2007/01/wheres-problem.html

 

I was running Flex Builder 2.0 but have now upgraded to 2.0.1.  I hope I
don't run into these issues when installing the final release of Vista.

 

Has anyone else made the jump from RC1 to the Final?

 

Hope everyone has a good weekend,

Michael

Subject: [flexcoders] Windows Vista & Flex

 

Hi All,

I'm new to this group and thought I'd start a topic where people can 
post their experiences with Flex Builder 2 and Windows Vista. Here is 
mine:

1. Upgraded from Windows XP Home to Windows Vista Business.
Chose the upgrade path..not the full reformat and clean install.
(I wanted to see if I could get anway with not having to install the 
5 million apps & utilities I use. Might have been mistake #1)

2. Day 1 - Vista appeared to install and run fine. Flex Builder worked 
okay. However it did seem to compile / debug slower.

3. Day 2 - The trouble starts! Several times Flex Builder just freezes
up. I can't even use task mangager to quit the application. I'm
forced to do a manual reboot. Reminds me of the old Mac crashes!
Ek. You know this is just bad stuff! This happened 6 times or
so during a full day of work. Occurred when trying to SAVE WORK!
Ironic, but saving became something I was AFRAID TO DO!

4. Day 3 - Flex Builder really acting funky now. When I try to
compile / debug nothing appears in Firefox but a blank white page.
This happens every time I try to debug or run my apps. So I reboot.
Still nothing! Forced to uninstall Flex Builder.

5. After uninstalling Flex Builder I re-install it. Everything goes
smoothly during install. Attempt to start application and get
funky error that refers me to an error log. I locate error log,
read thru it, and realize I'm screwed and can't fix things.
Uninstall and re-install multiple times. Same deal!
NOTE: Using trial version installer of Flex Builder 2.0.1

6. Realizing I can no longer use Flex Builder, I am forced to go
back to Windows XP. While I reformat my machine (which is a
Dell Latitude D820, Dual Core, Vista Capable machine) I'll be
pulling out my Mac Powerbook.

Recommendation: Forget Windows Vista! Stay with XP...or even better,
just stick with the Mac in the first place! I always use both
platforms...just because...and my Mac always comes out on top!

I'm curious to hear what other people have experienced. Please share 
your experience

RE: [flexcoders] How to show theme when app is loading?

[Michael Imhoff]

You might want to take a look at the following blog post which discusses
preloaders.

Subject: [flexcoders] How to show theme when app is loading?

 

I'm trying to figure out how to seemlessly display my theme's 
gradient (or background image) right at the start of the load phase 
and all the way through initialization. In other words, I don't want 
the default theme during the load, with a visual "glitch" when my 
custom theme kicks in.

Here's what I've learned so far:

- If you set the style on the app's "initialize" 
or "preinitialize", those changes aren't visible during the app's 
loading phase, so you end up getting the default theme until the 
loading is complete.

- The backgroundColor property takes effect right at the start of 
loading, but backgroundGradientColors (to get a nice gradient during 
the load) doesn't seem to work.

- The backgroundImage property will display an image after about 1 
second (into the load), but the image doesn't fill the window (i.e. 
it isn't scaled) until after the load.

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Re: [flexcoders] backgroundImage on Canvas, Not working in Skinned app?

[Michael Schmalle]

Code you post your code and css?

Can't really help without that.

I have a skinned app that I am developing (custom skinned based on the
Obsidian theme, if you know what that is) - Despite every attempt to
apply a backgroundImage property to a Canvas, it does not stick.

The odd thing is that it does in fact show up in design view.

But when the application is compiled an run in a browser... no image
appears. It is an embedded image and I don't know why it doesn't show
in the final SWF.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Thanks!

You could put an else statement on that to throw() an error if you really

Re: [flexcoders] Getting a Third-Party Component into Builder 2?

Hi,

Is it an SWC file?

If so, you need to go

CurrentProject -> right click, Properties -> Flex Build Path -> Library Path
Tab;

Then either choose, Add SWC Folder or Add swc.


From there you should be good to go.

Heh,

And why is he 'comparing' Ajax to Flex.

Bottom line is, 'truly dynamic content' depends on what you are talking
about. If you are trying to take javascript and pigeon hole it into as3,
have fun, you can't.

The design patterns of the Flex framework are roots. A crafty developer can
spin almost anything dynamically with it.

[flexcoders] firstTabStyleName?

[Michael Imhoff]

Does firstTabStyleName work for either the TabNavigator or TabBar?  I see
the style definitions in both classes, but I don't see how and/or if they
are implemented.

 

Thanks for your help,

Michael

 

 

 

 

Re: [flexcoders] File Exploer and Java + JRun4

Hi as a moderator, could you please only post questions pertaining to
component development on flexcomponents, the question belongs on flexcoders.

Also, please do not cross post on the two lists.

Thanks, Mike

  Hi All :)

I'm creating a File Explorer that grabs the files on your Java server,
I have made it so far that I can get dirs and files and uploading and
deliting files, and a viewer for img files and can run swf files inside

But the java side are not my strong side. someone familier with the

Re: [flexcoders] Overlaping tabs - is it possible ?

[Michael Schmalle]

Have fun,

One thing I think Tom is forgetting is that those tabs are arranged by
index. This also means that you have to accept that the order they appear is
the order of z index also.

The only way is to maintain a proxy array and completely re implement the
layout part of the tab bar.

This means ditching the box layout and doing it yourself.

Sure, just extend the tab navigator and override the bits that draw the

You could use setStyle() at runtime and load a module that holds your assets

A module library that has embedded images in the class library.

Re: [flexcoders] Web Services: Nearing Wit's End

[Michael Wills]

Hi Shibli,

I defer to the experts on the details (I'm new to Flex) but I have 
gotten other services to work. A web service debugger has been a great 
asset in that development. Two popular ones are Charles 
(http://www.xk72.com/charles/) and Service Capture 
(http://kevinlangdon.com/serviceCapture/) although I can only vouch for 
Charles. I haven't used Service Capture before.

Perhaps using one of those or a utility like that you might be able to 
see what is and is not coming across the wire.

Hope that helps!

Re: [flexcoders] Chrome behind content?

[Michael Schmalle]

Well man, this is a hack and it works though :)

I had the same issue and so far this hasn't blown up in my face.

Try this on for size... the backgroundInstance is what is going behind the
content but infront of the border.

   override mx_internal function createContentPane():void
   {
   super.createContentPane();

   if (contentPane &&
   backgroundInstance)
   {
   var border:DisplayObject = rawChildren.getChildByName("border");
   var index:Number = (border) ? 0 : -1;

   rawChildren.setChildIndex(DisplayObject(backgroundInstance),
index + 1);
   rawChildren.setChildIndex(contentPane, index + 2);
   }
   }

Peace, Mike

I have a spec where I need another background behind the view children and

Trust me, I have 1000's of hours of investigation into this. This applies if
you are doing low level coding in the framework.

Not to mention, when the container holds more then 1 view child, the
children get put into a content pane. It is impossible to get something
behind child 0 without using this hack.

Jesse,

with the text area, after removing it from the display list did you set;

textField = null;

Are you talking to me?

I don't have a problem, Jesse asked a question, I threw some code at him to
try and that is that.

I don't want to create a second child and hack that way, I want a rawChild
that is it.

I was just responding to him, what I am doing works for the container I

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Are other developers hesitant to extend existing classes in Flex?

[Michael Schmalle]

However, the indicator is added as a child to rawChildren, which is

public. This means you could reach it without problems.

No, that is not true. You know why? They didn't name it! That should be a
requirement of all composites Aodbe people.

You need to name every instance, this way if us devs do want access to it we
can get it.

EECOLOR, as far as the indicator, you would have to call getStyle(), create
the class instance, loop through all the rawChildren and do an is
comparison. This is just to get a reference, it sucks.

But, Is possible through that hack, I haven't tried it though.

This however does not work for you, since there is no equivalant for the
indicator. However, the indicator is added as a child to rawChildren, which

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Are other developers hesitant to extend existing classes in Flex?

[Michael Schmalle]

I have tried...

Remeber FLex Builder is in 2.0 actual 1.0. There are a lot of rough spots
and design view is far from perfect.

There is no way to subclasss for stuff and keep the tricks going.

This is hardcoded into FlexBuilders code.

Would like to learn how to extend it though.

  To the adobe developers,

I have found that I can extend the simpler display classes without much
issue, I have really only had issues with sub-classing the Form based
components. For our project (and probably many Flex projects) the form
concept is a strong one and the ability for designers to layout input
screens very quickly with Form,  FormItem and FormHeader is fantastic. I
want to extend these classes primarily to preserve the integration with Flex
Builder. Maybe trying to make these classes infinitely extensible is the
incorrect approach. Maybe a tool that would allow me to integrate my
components more tightly in Flex Builder would be a better solution.

Specifically when someone drags an NForm on the page I want flex builder
to automatically wrap other components in an NFormItem etc.

No problem. But do you mean like a change of state with a transition then?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Tree, drag+drop, and XML

[Michael Imhoff]

Hi Douglas,

 

It is carrying the leaf nodes properly; I think the issue revolved around
how you were trying to display the items.

 

public function handleMe(event:DragEvent) : void{

var ds:Array = event.dragSource.dataForFormat("treeItems") as
Array; 

for( var i:int = 0; i < ds.length; i++ ){

trace(XML(ds[i]).toXMLString());

}

}

 

Hope this helps,

Michael

Now, if I drag a leaf over this object, the Alert above displays

If I drag a branch, item with the folder icon, the Alert above displays

it displays the XML frag for the branch and all its children?

 XMLListCollection is set as dataProvider for the DataGrid.

*/

var books:XMLListCollection = new
XMLListCollection(XMLList(event.result..books));

// Suppress repeating Author values
var lastAuthor:String = "";
var i:int = 0;

[flexcoders] Re: How do you suppress repeating values in DataGrid columns?

[Michael Levine]

Adam,

You are correct, default datagrid sorting does not work properly with my
solution. I will either have to provide custom sorting or find another
solution.

I had thought that what I'm trying to accomplish here is not that
unusual in tabular data displays and have been somewhat surprised that I
haven't yet come across anyone else who has attempted and accomplished
this in Flex.

Perhaps another option is to restructuring the underlying data itself. I
will look into this and update this thread with any new
solutions/suggestions.

Thanks,
Michael

I would go out on a limb and say yes.

Not in alpha but, if we are going to be able to addChild() on a newly

Re: [flexcoders] Relative paths in CSS embeds?

[Michael Schmalle]

Ah,

You are using a compiled theme? That is what it looks like.

So what I am getting at is, are you trying to access a gif inside an swc?

If you are trying to access embedded content inside an swc you need the
theme compiler arg in your apps config.

either in the flex buider compiler args;

-theme src/lib/theme.swc

or you could create a config xml file that does the same thing.

Sounds to me like I am confused as to what you are actually doing.

Where are you compiling the theme.swc? and is the contents of the swc
located in the theme.css?

Give me a bit more info and I can help. I struggled with this for months
getting the right set up. I use ant to build my components now. Much more
control.

Peace, Mike

   theme.swc

So if app.mxml contains the  tag, I would think the path you
wrote should work.  On the other hand if the embeds are actually contained
in the theme swc, then I would guess the path would be relative to the css
location.  Maybe if I follow your example mine will work too.

Hi,

Use a url like;

source = "../../MyThemProject/images/bg_main.gif")'.

I do this for css outside of my current project and works fine.

Peace, Mike

Re: [flexcoders] Can't add objects to a new Apollo window

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi,

If you read the docs, they say you cannot do this in the Alpha version of
Apollo.

It will be in a beta or for sure the final.

Peace, Mike

  I have an Apollo app that I want to make open another window and load a
module into it.

I'm following the instructions from this page...

http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Apollo:Documentation:Working_with_windows#Creating_windows

I can make the new window appear, but nothing ever shows up in it.

I then used the createNewWindow() method from the page above and that
worked fine.  It created a new window and showed a nice graphic in it.

I then tried just adding a Label to that window by doing the following bit
of code:
var label:Label = new Label();
label.text = "Test Label";
label.x = 10;
label.y = 10;
newWindow.stage.addChild (label);


However, that didn't add the Label to the window.

I had previously tried adding a new ModuleLoader to the new window.  I
added event listeners to the ModuleLoader and it seemed to be loading the
module, and then added the module to the child property of the
ModuleLoader.  However, just like the label, nothing appeared in the new
Apollo window.

Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated.

Cheers,
Mark
