That was the problem. I guess I forgot to install that; lots of parts to
get Apache Royale going, that's for sure.

The osmf download still fails for me. I tried Java 1.8 and Java 1.7 since
someone in an email thread said that seemed to be the issue.

I am going on vacation for the US Thanksgiving holiday and will be back
next week.

Re: [DISCUSS] Release Apache Flex SDK 4.16.1 - RC1*

[Peter Ent]

I had actually tried the -Drc=1, but I mistakenly set the release.version
to 4.16

So close. Script is running.

I'm trying the AppoveSDK.xml script. When I do:

ant -f ApproveSDK.xml -Drelease.version=4.16.1

I get the following:

I can download the 4.16.1-src.tar.gz manually and will test that way.


I tried ant -f ApproveSDK.xml -Drelease.version=4.16.0 and that works, but
its not the correct release.

Re: git commit: [flex-utilities] [refs/heads/develop] - Fix path to ant flexTasks.jar

[Peter Ent]

That's weird that this email just appeared. I had sent it off yesterday
and it has been resolved. Please disregard. The issue was that when I
built royale-asjs it had not copied over the tasks from the compiler. I
re-built royale-asjs and the copy happened; probably due to a git sync on
my part.

Re: git commit: [flex-utilities] [refs/heads/develop] - Fix path to ant flexTasks.jar

[Peter Ent]

Have you been able to build any of the examples in
royale-asjs/examples/royale? When I try to build DataBindingExample, it
fails because it cannot find flexTasks.tasks.

The build.xml is setting FLEX_HOME to ROYALE_HOME which it sets to the
royale-asjs directory. There is no flexTasks.tasks in royale-asjs/lib. At
least not on my machine.

[Royale] Flex2Royale Migration App

[Peter Ent]

I have made a change the royale compiler (not committed yet) to produce a 
migration commendation JSON file. This file is then used by the Flex2Royale 
example app (also not committed).

You can see the result at: http://home.apache.org/~pent/Flex2RoyaleApp/

This is pretty much the same thing as before, example this time the information 
is coming directory from the Royale source files. For example, in 
org.apache.royale.express.Application you would find:

/**
 * This class extends the standard Application and sets up the
 * SimpleCSSValuesImpl (implementation) for convenience.
 *
 * @flexcomponent spark.components.Application
 * @flexdocurl https://flex.apache.org/asdoc/spark/components/Application.html
 * @commentary Unlike Flex Application, Royale Application does not provide a 
user interface container. Instead, you create an instance of 
org.apache.royale.express.View as the Application's initialView property.
 * @commentary The Express version of Application pre-packages some additional 
beads.
 * @example 
 * @example   
 * @example 
 * @example   
 * @example 
 */

I will be cleaning up code and expanding the documentation. I used some pretty 
simple CSS to style the output and would welcome ideas for how this should look.

Thanks,
Peter

Re: FlexJS element setter

@Harbs: yes on get positioner returning element. This way someone could
override the getter and return something else if it suited their needs.

Re: FlexJS element setter

[Peter Ent]

I should also have addressed "cloneNode". I keep operating in the twilight
world between SWF and HTML/JS. The main guiding principle is to make it
work for HTML/JS as simply as possible and then replicate it for SWF. I
think since the Flash announcement, this should really be the defining
principle of RoyaleJS. If we have to make the SWF side pay a bit more,
then so be it. Again, my opinion.

So if cloneNode is more helpful, then do that.

Re: FlexJS element setter

[Peter Ent]

The original intent of positioner was to allow the element to be
different. The NumericStepper was the use case. The positioner was to be
the enclosing div or DisplayObjectContainer. The element was to be the
input or TextField. We thought there might be more complex components that
would benefit from that treatment.

The problem is, I think most developers would access element for
everything and simply forget the positioner. Also, element and positioner
should really be hidden from app developers are they are platform
dependent (or should be IMO). So a component like NumericStepper might let
you do: stepper.inputField by that itself is a FlexJS component,
TextInput, so that would be safe. Likewise for the buttons.

At this point, I'm not sure positioner is valuable enough to even keep.
And element/flexjs_wrapper are closely paired.

Re: FlexJS element setter

[Peter Ent]

The setter for element is in HTMLElementWrapper, the super class for
UIBase. The setter for flexes_wrapper is in UIBase. So if the element
setter were to also set the flexjs_wrapper, it would have to be an
override in UIBase to do it. At least that¹s how I understand it.

Could you elaborate a little more on the issue that is raising this
concern?   

Your question made me scan through these classes. Looking at this code now
makes me think we can do a better and more consistent job organizing it
for Royale. After all, having code that can be quickly understood and
modified is important.

Re: [DISCUSS] Name of the FlexJS Fork

[Peter Ent]

I'm inclined to favor "Braid" over Limber (however you want to spell it)
because I can think of too many puns associated with Limber and the first
thing that comes to mind, for me, is cheese that smells.

I don't remember how to pronounce "Borja" and while English always seems
to dominate, English-speaks will most likely pronounce it Boar-JA and a
few will go with Boar-YA or Boar-HA. So there will probably always be a
need for correction.

While "Apache Royale" has a nice ring to it for me, I think "Braid" has
the right feel. You get things intertwined for a purpose, things in a
pattern, strands woven together, that sort of thing.

"Braid" also brings to mind "Helix". I haven't looked to see if there are
any projects that use "Helix" which I'm sure there are. And if so, maybe
"Felix" to give a nod back to Flex along with the helix.

Re: [DISCUSS] Name of the FlexJS Fork

[Peter Ent]

If the project name were to be "Apache Royale" and produced FlexJS, and
the Apache Royale web page/wiki referenced FlexJS and made it available
for Google searches, then anyone who was interested in or heard about
FlexJS and searched for "FlexJS" (or "Flex" or "Adobe Flex" or "Apache
Flex" or "ActionScript Flex" or ), they should get a link to Apache
Royale in their search results. The blurb that accompanies the search
result should mention FlexJS. I think that would be enough to pique
interest and get a click.

Substitute "Royale" for whatever name you'd like the project to be called.

Ah, OK. Somewhere I mixed up SSH with SFTP and thinking that SFTP required
PGP. I'll delete the PGP and redo the SSH private key.

Re: [DISCUSS] Name of the FlexJS Fork

[Peter Ent]

Let's say we change the Apache PROJECT name to something else that's a bit
more generic and without the JS.

I think its important that people who have Flex apps be able to do a
Google search and find our new project and on that project's main page we
have a statement about Apache Flex and the purpose of this new project.

Then I don't think we need to continue with "Flex" in the name as long as
the project is findable using "Flex" as a search key.

Re: home.apache.org

[Peter Ent]

My LDAP entry at id.apache.org has a OpenPGP Public Key Primary
Fingerprint set. I assume when I do sftp p...@home.apache.org it looks up
'pent' and sees the OpenPGP fingerprint, goes out to some key server and
fetches whatever it needs.

And after all this time I still get Permission denied. Maybe that's not a
real PGP key. I looked up PGP for the Mac and found GPG Keychain which it
says makes OpenPGP keys. Just very confused.

Re: home.apache.org

[Peter Ent]

Thanks, Mark.

I think I've done all the right stuff. As I started to do it, I began to
remember doing it once before for SSH. I've been waiting awhile and still
get permission denied, so I'll just keep waiting. I'm pretty sure I sent
my key to a public key server. I'll go out for coffee and I hope it works
when I get back.

I get permission denied (public key). I remember having to set up
something for the old people site (I think) and have been trying to hunt
down the instructions.

home.apache.org

[Peter Ent]

Hi,

Does anyone have the instructions on how to set up access to your 
home.apache.org space? I've looked on the apache.org site and all I can find 
are instructions about the old people.apache.org. I guess I haven't accessed my 
home.apache.org since I set up my newer computer.

I'm going to update my ASDocs info to point to our FlexJS ASDocs app page since 
Google is pointing to my old ASDoc and it needs to be more current.

Thanks.
Peter

Ah - I completely missed setting that one up. I was so absorbed with the
SWF side and its config that I forget that I also had to set the JS side
dependency.

Thanks so much, Harbs!

Re: Build failed in Jenkins: flex-asjs #2539

[Peter Ent]

Thanks for helping me. I don't see anything wrong on my end. The problem
seems to be with the JS side building ExpessJS but I don't see there is
anything in the DragDrop project that prevents DragDropJS.swc from having
the right things in it.

Maybe I just just pull the drag-drop stuff I added to Express and try and
sort this out.

Thank you so much.

Re: [FlexJS] Finding (x,y) position

[Peter Ent]

I'm trying to draw a drop indicator above the row in the DataGrid where
new data would be inserted if the user releases the mouse button at that
point.

The drop indicator is being drawn in a layer (added by a new bead) that is
floating above the  containing the DataGrid's column lists.

As the mouse is detected over an itemRenderer, I need to know the
itemRenderer's position within its list so I can translate that into
global space and then into the space of the layer.

However, what you just wrote gave me another idea that might just work.

Thanks!

Re: [FlexJS] Finding (x,y) position

[Peter Ent]

PointUtils works when it has the correct data. For example, if you are
over an itemRenderer, say the first one, and want to get its global
location, you might do:

var pt0:Point = new Point(itemRenderer.x, itemRenderer.y)

and use pt0 in PointUtils.localToGlobal function. The problem is,
itemRenderer.x/y are not correct at all times. Because this itemRenderer
is the first itemRenderer and in the upper-left corner of its List, you
would expect it to be (0,0) but instead it is (0,30) for example where 30
is the height of the ButtonBar used for the header.

Further, the itemRenderer's parent, a , also has location (0,30) and
its parent, again a  is (0,30).

This happens because the layout used to place everything is just relying
on display:block and none of the s have position set to anything; the
only  with position is the one representing the DataGrid itself.

The .x and .y functions look at the "left" and "top" styles first. Finding
these are not set, the functions then return offsetLeft and offsetTop,
which are the offsets from the ancestor with position set. That's the
 for the DataGrid. Hence they are at (0,30).

I see two choices: use getClientBoundingRect or change the layouts to set
position:relative on their contentView but this might break something else
at some point.

I was wondering if anyone had experience trying to figure out screen
positions when using the offset properties.

[FlexJS] Finding (x,y) position

[Peter Ent]

Hi,

While working on drag-and-drop, I've made an "interesting" discovery having to 
do with the HTML-side's x and y getter functions.

Let's say you have a nesting of s:


   …


 …




(this structure is similar to what is generated for DataGrid).

If you attempt to get the y location of "first" itemRenderer, you will get 30 
back as the answer. That happens because the y getter first looks to see if the 
object has a "top" style value and, finding none, returns its offsetTop. In 
this case, offsetTop is 30 and offsetParent is "outer". If you get the y value 
of "inner" you will also get 30 as the answer for the same reason.

If each of the s had position:relative (or absolute), then offsetTop would 
be as you would expect with each offsetParent being the  above it.

Our layout functions (and x and y setters) do not normally set the position 
style on element. I removed this a good while ago. Now I am trying to place a 
drop target indicator and to do that I need accurate (x,y) locations.

I have a couple of solutions:


  1.  For any element, look at its getBoundingClientRect and compare with its 
elementParent.getBoundingClientRect. The difference between then gives the 
child's position relative to the parent. This seems reliable.
  2.  Attempt to divine a child's position using the offset information. I 
can't make this work.
  3.  Modify the layouts to check the contentView's value of position and if 
not set already, set it to "relative". This makes the x and y getters return 
the right thing but may have unintended consequences.

Any advice from seasoned JavaScript developers is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Peter

Re: [DISCUSS} Fork FlexJS from Apache Flex

[Peter Ent]

Hi,

As an employee of Adobe and a contributor to Apache FlexJS, I think this
new project fork is a good idea. Companies with investment in Flex
applications that rely on the Flash Player to deliver their applications
to their users will have to look for alternatives in the next couple of
years. 

Apache FlexJS provides this opportunity. With continued support from the
community, we can chart a path to make the transition easier in a number
of ways. For example, wiki articles that provide guidance for migration or
new FlexJS framework kits that help bridge the gap between Apache Flex and
FlexJS. And many other ideas will come from this.

I feel the opportunity to turn a negative into a positive is a huge one
and doing this now is the best time.

Re: FlexJS Express Components

[Peter Ent]

You make good points.

The Express package is in its infancy. I packaged things together that
were, I felt, the most common combinations, such as all Views and
Container classes have data binding. This also means Containers have
scrolling with the idea that you would use Group if you did not want
scrolling. But Group does not support background and border.

I agree that more options on the Express components could be presented as
well as allowing scrolling to be removed for a specific Express container
or all Express containers.

Re: [FlexJS] MouseEvent

[Peter Ent]

I feel like I'm not grasping some concept. Seems to be that

a) you would want at least two points in a MouseEvent: the screen position
and the local position that is relative to the event.target. You could
derive one from the other but why go through that hassle when both
platforms provide that, as far as I can tell.
b) you would want to know other conditions such as which button is used,
if it is up, down, or moved (either with or without a button pressed), if
any keyboard key was also pressed at the same time.

I don't see why computations need to be made unless some value in one
platform is unavailable and needs to be calculated, but I don't see any
that fall into this category.

Having FlexJS MouseEvent extend a platform event class seems to have it
drawbacks, but it also makes the event work in the current system, so I
would let that go. 

What's disturbing is that events like Mouse and Keyboard and pretty
fundamental and it seems very late in the game that we are discussing
this. I can probably do what I need to do with DnD with what's there, but
it is just exposing a fundamental issue to me.

[FlexJS] MouseEvent

[Peter Ent]

I've been doing work with Drag and Drop and that involves mouse events. I'm 
wondering if someone could give me a history on the Apache FlexJS MouseEvent? 
Specially, its use of localX/Y and screenX/Y.

I'm wondering why the platform implements do not simply assign their version of 
screenX/Y as the screenX/Y values instead of the screenX/Y being getter 
functions?

I've run into cases where the localX/Y == screenX/Y in the FlexJS MouseEvent 
but the original event had different values.

Why would we not want the FlexJS MouseEvent to reflect the platform's mouse 
event values?

SWF: flexJSMouseEvent.screenX = swfMouseEvent.stageX;
JS: flexJSMouseEvent.screenX = jsMouseEvent.pageX;

Re: [FlexJS] findPopupHost issue

[Peter Ent]

I needed events to bubble for the drag and drop work. While that was fine
for the Flash Player, the FlexJS/Google/Browser event mix didn't work.
Alex suggested I used setParentTarget on the event to work up the tree and
then the event would be dispatched at each level, thus mimicking bubbling.
I did this exclusively for drag events (see DragEvent class).

Rather than putting that in as the solution for this, I took a simpler
approach.

Re: [FlexJS] findPopupHost issue

[Peter Ent]

I fixed this and committed/pushed it on the develop branch.

The issue was that the TitleBar was dispatching "close" with bubbles=true.
This works fine on SWF but not on the HTML platform without some extra
work. So I just had PanelView intercept the event and dispatch one from

[FLEXJS] ASDoc Issues

[Peter Ent]

I'm running the asdoc target in flex-asjs and it has rejected a couple of 
things in Core/main/flex/Promise.as such as:

[asdoc] 
/Users/pent/dev/flex-asjs/frameworks/projects/Core/src/main/flex/Promise.as(270):
 col: 19 Error: Syntax error: expecting identifier before catch.
[asdoc]
[asdoc] public function catch(onRejected:Function = null):IThenable

Since "catch" is a keyword I'm surprised this compiles at all. Should 
Promise.as be excluded from ASDoc for now?

Re: [FlexJS,TLF] Tlf branch and Maven build

I just added something to TLF branch, in the DragDrop project. There is
now a dependency on Collections; does a pom file need to be changed to
reflect that or is the compile-swf-config file enough?

Re: [FlexJS] TileLayout

[Peter Ent]

You could write a new TileLayoutWithGapAndPadding to handle that specific
situation. On the JS side, TileLayout uses Flexbox and perhaps you need
more control.

Re: [FlexJS] more on undefined / non initialised values

[Peter Ent]

Perhaps we can look to other languages for guidance. For example, in Swift:

var val:Boolean

is illegal. It MUST be initialized or declared to be optional:

var val:Boolean = false
var val:Boolean?

The Swift people felt that leaving variables uninitialized and defaulted
caused too many issues and so force values to be given. If you don't have
a value then you must declare it to be optional, in which case its value
is nil until it is assigned a value.

Neither AS nor JS has the luxury of syntax that enforces this, but perhaps
we could have the compiler issue a warning (at least) that scalar values
are uninitialized.

Re: [2/4] git commit: [flex-asjs] [refs/heads/develop] - LayoutBase Fix for strand set to null in remove bead, plus performance improvements in js

[Peter Ent]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding again.


   
  

This is what a developer should do so that the contents of the panel are
laid out horizontally.

I constructed Panel as a subclass of Group so that I could take advantage
of VerticalFlexLayout so that Container content area of the Panel would
grow to fit the Panel's vertical space; any TitleBar or ControlBar would
then remain fixed in size and place.

But making Panel be a sub-class of Group meant that adding a layout
in-line in MXML would cause that layout to supersede the Panel's
VerticalFlexLayout. So Panel moves any layout bead supplied by the user
and puts it onto its Container content area.

Panel could have been constructed in another way and given the issues that
we seem to be having with it, I suggest a re-write in version 0.9.0.

Panel also suffers from having to re-parent any children given to it and
place them into the Container (this happens for JS and SWF platforms).
Container then re-parents those children, but only on the SWF platform, to
its content view.

Re: Beads and DRY (was Re: [FlexJS] Removing PasswordInputBead has no effect)

[Peter Ent]

We have never really discussed the use of delegates. Its not something
that ties in that well with FlexJS I think. But using a delegate to
off-load some of the work, just when that work is needed, might be another
solution.

Re: Beads and DRY (was Re: [FlexJS] Removing PasswordInputBead has no effect)

[Peter Ent]

If you look at the layouts, you can see these questions for real. Take
VerticalLayout. The idea is to stack children of some component
vertically. Those children can be given a) no explicit size, b) an
explicit size as pixel values, c) a percentage size. You know what the
VerticalLayout is supposed to do, but how it does it depends on the
platform. Plus there are some questions:

Do you provide an option to space them (a gap) or is that
VerticalLayoutWithGap?
Do you provide an option to horizontally align them or is that
VerticalLayoutWithHorizontalAlignment?
What if you want both a gap and an alignment? Is that
VerticalLayoutWithGapAndHorizontalAlignment?

Achieving a gap and alignment is pretty easy and I believe can be done
within the same loop pass as stacking the elements.

We circumvented the gap issue by saying you achieving by giving the
children being stacked margin style values. So that eliminates two of the
variations. But that comes at a cost on the SWF side (JS side handles
margins in the browser) since it is way more complex to account for those
margins and it might rightly be put into its own layout bead.

And when you make these altered versions, its hard to subclass since you
have the layout algorithm that you've have to tap into from the subclass
and then call out or use a delegate.

Re: [2/2] git commit: [flex-asjs] [refs/heads/release0.8.0] - fix event types for valuechange. Otherwise Binding would break. Events are global and should be compatible for any given event type

[Peter Ent]

I don't think PAYG is always obvious and I continue to struggle with the
question. Some examples:

a. Anything that can be expressed as a style probably does not need a
bead, unless the style is not native to the platform. Border and
backgroundColor are good examples. These are built into HTML, but not the
Flash Player. So the border and background styles are implemented as beads
but they are only available on the Flash Player platform. Width, height,
x, y, etc. are also styles in HTML but properties in Flash, so they don't
need beads either. Plus they are pretty fundamental to UI systems.

b. Completeness also gives me pangs. You would think that a slider's basic
properties of a minimum value, maximum value, and a current value would
not need to be questioned. And that's true, as properties they are
necessary to define a slider. But should a slider emit an event whenever
its min, max, or value changes? Many apps will just go get the current
value when they need it. The slider's mouse controller observes the
dynamic changes in the thumb position and emits an event for each movement
- but not everyone needs that so such a controller could be optional, but
without a controller, you can't actually change the thumb with the mouse
so you need the controller regardless, but do you need to emit the event
when the thumb is being moved?

c. When you do have to have something, like a slider mouse controller, to
make the component work at its basic level, do you make an option as to
whether or not to emit the event or do you have one controller that emits
events as the thumb moves and one controller that does not emit the event?
Is one controller a subclass of the other or a duplicate version?

d. Its often difficult to tell if something should be present just because
it always has been present (in Flex). When you have a set of properties
and events, we need to ask if those are essential to making the component
work. Or rather, what is the component's default behavior. For a text
input component, the default because is accepting keyboard input, without
filtering. Making it a secure input with a mask, is extra work/behavior
and thus becomes a bead. Beads enhance and augment the default behavior as
a rule of thumb.

PAYG for me, raises lots of questions about programming practices and
patterns. Do you make it easier on developers by packaging common
properties/events/options even if some are not used that often, or do you
break them down into many versions?

One way to handle this is by looking at the Express project. There, the
most commonly used patterns are put together. For instance, data binding
is in everything. Or you might have the slider always emit every event it
can. 

The Basic project should be the bare-bones components with lots of options
as beads. Then package them into common use cases and put that into
another project, like Express, to make it more palatable.

I would argue (just a little) that more complex components, like DataGrid,
and perhaps even NumericStepper, should be in a project that lives between
Basic and Express. This would leave Basic being very, well, basic (label,
button, text input, group and container for instance).

I hope that helps a little.

Re: [FlexJS] Layout of NumericStepper is broken

[Peter Ent]

I found the problem: the NumericStepper's sizeChange handler was not being
called when the NS appears in this simpler test case. It is being called
when it is displayed in the FlexJSStore, for example. The more complex app
with nested containers and layouts is setting the right conditions so the
size change handler runs.

If I remove the test and always call the size change handler, both this
simple test and the FlexJSStore work fine. But there are some minor
alignment issues which I can also correct.

I don't want to check in my changes without having Alex think about why
those changes were put in place since there may be consequences of
returning the NS to a more simpler form.

Re: [FlexJS] Layout of NumericStepper is broken

[Peter Ent]

I'm looking into it. The SWF and JS versions are different. There's a
border around it, which is specified in the defaults.css. I'm not sure why
that is there; maybe I put it there awhile ago I just don't remember. It
looks better without it.

The SWF version, for me, has some extra graphics in the incrementing
button and the JS version has the buttons just slightly misaligned with
the input field. Running this on macOS Sierra, Safari 10.1.1, Firefox
50.0.3, and Chrome 58.0.3.

on which OS(es) and browser(s) are you seeing this?

Re: [FlexJS] List

[Peter Ent]

That had to be accidental. I see in defaults.css that List has a Viewport
rather than ScrollingViewport. Just change that and lists should default
to scrolling.

Need to watch the DataGrid because its lists should not scroll - they just
grow and the enclosing container scrolls them all together.

Re: [FlexJS] Accordion broken

[Peter Ent]

I haven't sync'd anything since Friday, but I don't seem to be having the
measurement problem you are talking about.

I changed the Accordion children to VContainer and added the
TitleBarModel. Now I see the TitleBar (although it is blank) and the
segment contents. When I expose or hide the segments, I see all of the
bars stacked above and below the opened segment.

On SWF, the title bars are blank; on HTML the title bars are "undefined"
(as expected and noted in another thread on null vs undefined).

Re: [FlexJS] Accordion broken

[Peter Ent]

Hi,

It looks like this is the last thing to be resolved before we can make
FlexJS 0.8 release.

I'm seeing two title bars per item in the Accordion. Any suggestions for
how to resolve this, based on the information I've given below?

Thanks,
Peter

Re: [FlexJS] Accordion broken

[Peter Ent]

I've checked in my changes to the Accordion components. It still is not
working correctly and I cannot figure out what is happening. The
 used as the data to the Accordion are being placed as children
of AccordionItemRenderers which are themselves Panels. So there are two
TitleBars present per Accordion section.

The layout mechanism changed so that the GroupView (the base view bead for
all container-type view beads) no longer controls when layouts run; that
is done by the layouts themselves. GroupView et al has a beforeLayout()
and afterLayout() functions called by the layout classes which might be
helpful, I'm not sure.

Panel also changed quite a bit. A Panel is now a Group with its own layout
that controls the placement of the TitleBar and Container which is its
content area. When you specify a layout bead on a Panel, the Panel
actually moves it to the content area Container. Perhaps this has
something to do with the behavior we are now seeing.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to handle the
Accordion as it now sits and I'll be happy to answer any questions about
how the current view/layout system works now.

If I may, perhaps Accordion could be changed as follows:



   






The Accordion + AccordionView would create 2 children for each
AccordionSection in the Accordion's space: an AccordionHeader + . 

The model would indicate which  is being viewed and the
layout, such as OneFlexibleChildVerticalLayout or
OneFlexibleChildHorizontalLayout, would take care of sizing and
positioning the AccordionHeader and  elements. The  elements not visible would simply have visible=false set; the
layout will then ignore them.

For the HTML side, this example would create a  with four children
and not have any deep nesting unless that what the 
produces. The  that's visible would have overflow:auto or
overflow:hidden while the other  elements would have
display:none set. 

Merely a suggestion, and could probably use some refinement.

Re: [FlexJS] Accordion broken

[Peter Ent]

With some guidance from Alex, I have the Accordion "working". The problem
now is that it appears as a Panel-in-Panel for each item. For example,
with two Panels in the dataProvider, there are two bars and whichever is
"open" or "selected" shows the Panel from the dataProvider along with its
title bar. I understand using a Panel as the itemRenderer, but I don't see
how there cannot be two title bars. I will continue to sort this out.

Re: [FlexJS] Accordion broken

[Peter Ent]

I'm still working on this and ran into a couple of issues.

The flexible child layouts no longer provide a way to explicitly set a
child; instead they rely in the child's id being used to retrieve the
child from the document. Unfortunately, a layout that is not referenced in
MXML will not get its document set.

Perhaps a better solution is to write "AccordionLayout" that will expand
the child selected by the model, but I'm still looking at making use of
what is already there.

Re: [FlexJS] Accordion broken

[Peter Ent]

Hi,

Do you have a quick example of how to use the FlexJS Accordion? The ASDoc
on it is thin. The children of the Flex SDK Accordion were navigation
components that supported things like title so each section could be
labeled. I don't see an AccordionChild or something similar that can be
used with Accordion. I took a guess and made Container a child of it, but
it just blew up. 

Thanks,

I am looking into it. I will also create an example for Accordion so it

Re: [ApacheCon/FlexJS Summit] FlexJS 1.0 Discussion Round - Summary

[Peter Ent]

Looks like you got some good advice about being a contributor/committer.

As for the file system/storage issue. The FlexJS Storage project seems
like a good place for all of storage/repository/file system functions to
go. We can give them different package names within the project, too, of
course.

The key is providing functionality across the platforms which are: the
browser, the Flash Player, Cordova, and Air. From an application
developer's point of view, they should have a generic way to access
storage that works on all the platform, or at least, does not crash on any
particular platform if the platform does not support the feature. For
example, if you want to make the device's file system available, that's
really only available when run in Air and on mobile using Cordova; the
browser environment prevents direct access to the underlying file system
for security reasons. In this case, any file system classes or functions
should compile for browser and Flash Player, even if they won't do
anything (e.g., saving a file).

Here's an example: The HTML  element provides the UI for selecting
a file to upload. That needs to have Flash Player, equivalence
(FileReference API), Air has a richer API for this, and I believe Cordova
does as well. But the FlexJS class(es) that a developer would use should
be generic:

  

or something like that.

I hope that helps.

The Storage package is definitely incomplete. We should address access from 
browser (JS & SWF) air, and Cordova.

Re: [ApacheCon/FlexJS Summit] FlexJS 1.0 Discussion Round - Summary

[Peter Ent]

The FlexJS Storage package address some storage concerns. It provides file
handling when run via AIR and on mobile devices via Cordova. Since there
are sandboxing issues with the Flash Player, I'm not sure what else we can
do there besides local storage.

Re: Moonshine 1.4.0 Release

[Peter Ent]

On Mac macOS Sierra: When I start this new version of Moonshine, I get a
dialog that tells me that due to an Apple sandbox issue, my Apache Flex
and Apache FlexJS SDKs must be located in the Downloads folder. OK, fine,
so I click on the button that takes me to a Moonshine downloads page, but
there is only a download for Moonshine
(http://moonshine-ide.com/moonshine-app-store-helper/) Helper. Thinking
that is probably it (I was actually expecting to do to the Apache
Flex/FlexJS page to get the SDKs), I downloaded the package and launched
it.

That did "something" (not sure what) and then offered to delete itself,
which I did. This left my Downloads folder in its original condition
(which is currently empty).

So I'm not really sure this part of the set up worked.

Peter Ent

Re: [FlexJS] CSS Pruning

[Peter Ent]

The reason for .DataGridListArea is that the SWF side does not recognize a 
selector of:

DataGrid Container { ... }

So I gave the Container used for the list area a class name. Perhaps I can try 
to change it to a type name and see if that's more helpful and if so look at 
replacing as many specialty class names with type selectors.

Re: [FlexJS] Layouts

[Peter Ent]

Well, the LayoutBase assume's the host/strand implements ILayoutParent and
provides the ILayoutHost. The ILayoutHost then provides the ILayoutView.
These can all be the same thing.

The layouts in Basic assume the items being laid out are ILayoutChild
compliant. So if MDL components followed that pattern things should work
out.

Re: [FlexJS] Layouts

Maybe MDL should have its own set of layouts and layout-compliant
interfaces. Opinions?

Re: git commit: [flex-asjs] [refs/heads/develop] - Added AbsolutePositioningViewBeadBase so control components can position their sub-elements using absolute positioning.

[Peter Ent]

Hi,

This is the finished bead. We put "base" on it to indicate it is a class
you can use as the basis for control view beads. But feel free to change
it now before it gets too much use.

Re: [FlexJS] Layouts

[Peter Ent]

Hi,

I've just pushed an update to flex-asjs develop branch with
AbsolutePositioningViewBeadBase as described below. This should make it
much easier to build control component which do not need to use layout
beads and can handle resizing events on their own.

Re: git commit: [flex-asjs] [refs/heads/develop] - Added example of building a Table from a data source to the TableExample example.

[Peter Ent]

Hi,

Yes - you are right about getting "initComplete" twice. I wrote the code
and forgot about it! The DataTable should probably dispatch
"dataTableComplete" so that the data mapper can detect that as the
all-finished event.

Thanks,

Re: [FlexJS] Layout Issue/Change

[Peter Ent]

I'm trying to find the balance between PAYG and mimicking the HTML/JS/CSS
side on the SWF side.

Take HorizontalLayout for example. On the JS side, this layout waits for
"childrenAdded" and then changes each child's display style to
"inline-block". If you then programmatically change one child's width, the
browser automatically pushes the children apart to make room. Since the
Flash Player does not have that capability, the HorizontalLayout, SWF
version, must watch for changes in the size of the children and re-run the
layout. This is the mimicking part.

I put the children size watching into the LayoutBase, thinking it was a
common enough, frequent enough process that it could be done in the base
class. But that really is not the case. Each layout is different.

Plus, there is no provision in the base layout for watching for new
children or removed children. In the PAYG world, those feature would be
part of other layouts:

HorizontalLayoutWatchForAddChild
HorizontalLayoutWatchForRemoveChild
HorizontalLayoutWatchForAddAndRemoveChild

Here's the catch: going back to the HorizontalLayout, if you remove a
child, the browser will automatically reposition the children to close the
space left by the child removed. You do not need to write a specialty
layout to do. So for HorizontalLayout, do we including watching for
children added and removed because it mimics the browser or is it really a
specialty? 

Right now, the event listeners watching for changes in the children are
multi-platform. A better, more PAYG approach (I think), is to make those
event listeners SWF-side only and they should be part of the layouts that
actually need them to mimic what the browser can do.

So perhaps that best thing to do now is wait for FlexJS 0.9 and try this
out an another branch to determine what the procedure should be.

OK. I will look at the other layouts and probably do the same for them

Re: [FlexJS] Layout Issue/Change

[Peter Ent]

The current listeners in LayoutBase (Basic Project) are for the children
of a component. Right now, if you have a Group with 10 buttons and
VerticalLayout, and you resize one of those buttons,
LayoutBase/VerticalLayout will detect that and automatically re-run the
VerticalLayout algorithm.

What I propose is to eliminate those event listeners on the children. So
if you resize one of the buttons you will have dispatch "layoutNeeded" on
the Group to get the VerticalLayout to reformat the Group.

If you resize the Group, that will continue to re-run the layout.

Another example is FirstFlexibleChildHorizontalLayout (or whatever that's
called). If you delete that first child, the layout will not run. My
change will not affect this situation - you must still dispatch
"layoutNeeded" to get the layout to recalculate the next child as the
flexible item. On the JS side, this is crucial because this layout sets
flex-grow:1 on the first child and flex-grow:0 on the rest. When you
remove the first child, all children have flex-grow:0, so you must re-run
the layout.

This is the inconsistency: sometimes you need to dispatch "layoutNeeded"
and sometimes you do not. I propose you always dispatch "layoutNeeded"
whenever you add a child, remove a child, resize a child, or do anything
that would require the layout to run.

[FlexJS] Layout Issue/Change

[Peter Ent]

Hi,

My main goal of the recent set of changes to containers and layouts was to make 
the HTML/CSS/JS side as minimal as possible, letting the browser and friends 
take care of things as much as possible. For the most part, I think it works.  
But there is an issue that has been bothering me.

Right now, the LayoutBase class sets up event listeners on the layout host to 
automatically re-run the layout under certain conditions. The more I think 
about this the less PAYG it is and it is also inconsistent how things are 
handled.

The layout code is set up to recognize changes in the layout host's size. When 
that happens the layout is re-run. That, to me, is a good thing.

The layout code also waits for the initial "childrenAdded" event and if it sees 
it, the layout code will set event listeners for size changes on the children. 
If you later add children, those new children may not have listeners attached 
(this is an inconsistency). It is the responsibility of the app developer to 
dispatch a "layoutNeeded" event on the layout host to trigger the layout. 
Again, this is inconsistent as a component could dispatch "childrenAdded" while 
another component may not.

I see three possibilities here:


  1.  Do nothing with children (PAYG). The layout code would listen for size 
changes to the layout host, but it would not set up listeners on the children. 
An application that changes an items size or adds or removes an item will have 
to dispatch "layoutNeeded" on the item's (or items') parent. This way you can 
change a component frequently and only trigger its layout when the changes are 
complete.
  2.  Do everything (Pay Heavily). The layout code would really try to listen 
for all sorts of events on the layout host and respond to them.  The cost would 
be high however, if a large number of items were being changed inside of a 
loop: the layout code would be run for each pass of the loop.
  3.  Do everything, but wait (Partial Payment). The layout code would do the 
same as #2, but allow for updating loops. A number of systems have this: 
host.beginUpdate(); /* do a bunch of things */ host.endUpdate(). While the loop 
is running the layout would ask the host if it is OK to update and if not, the 
layout would not run. Once the endUpdate() was executed, the host would 
dispatch a final "layoutNeeded" and the layout would run once.

I am in favor of #1. It is in the spirit of PAYG and if you decided you needed 
either #2 or #3, you could extend a layout and build that yourself. Or we could 
add it to the Express package or something like that.

In choice 1, changing an item's size trigger's its own layout. If you have a 
Group with 100 elements, all of which are Groups themselves, and you were to 
resize each sub-Group in a loop, the resize of a sub-Group would trigger its 
layout. This is desired behavior. Once that loop has completed, the outer Group 
would also need its layout run to account of the newly resized children and 
that's where you do: outer.dispatchEvent(new Event("layoutNeeded")); In choice 
2 or choice 3, each time a sub-Group was resized, the outer Group's layout 
would run for a total of 100 times, which may even cause some of the 
sub-Group's layouts to run again, depending on the layout algorithm.

If I were to remove the child event listeners in the layout code, any place 
your app or example that counted on the layout running, you would need to add a 
dispatch event for "layoutNeeded" if you did not resize the component.

I hope that made sense.

Re: [FlexJS, MDL] Null Pointer Exception in HorizontalFlexLayout

[Peter Ent]

Hi Piotr,

I mostly understand. It seems like the child is not UIBase so it is null,
at least in one of the cases. The layout code should be changed to check
for null and skip that child.  Can you see if that helps?

Re: [FlexJS] Status of Slider and NumericStepper?

[Peter Ent]

NumericStepper must not have been finished for some reason. Or perhaps the
view bead was operating (at some point in time) on both the JS and SWF
sides. The NumericStepperView bead is now in a COMPILE::SWF block.

This is one of those cases where there *may be* enough overlap with the
SWF and JS sides that perhaps both platforms should use a view bead.

Josh's changes work, of course, so I guess we are good here.

Re: [FlexJS] Layouts

[Peter Ent]

Let's do this then, after the merge of dual into develop:

AbsolutePositioningViewBeadBase will be the view bead to use for controls.
On the HTML platform, this bead will set its strand's style position to
"relative" if it is not set to either "absolute" or "relative" already. In
addition, this bead will have a setAbsolutePosition(child, x, y) function
that on Flash, just sets x and y while on HTML, sets left and top styles
as well as setting position:absolute style.

You could use it like this: Create a view bead class that extends this
class and set your custom view bead class in CSS for your control or add
it programmatically. The super.strand setter will take care of setting the
strand's position style. After you have created any elements required for
your control, position them using setAbsolutePosition() and do so in
response to changes in your control's size.

Re: [FlexJS] Layouts

[Peter Ent]

Perhaps I am not understanding this.

You create a control component extending UIBase. You create your view bead
extending AbsolutePositioningViewBase. This bead makes sure that the
strand/host has position:relative set.

So how do you set position:absolute on each of the control's parts?
Setting part.x and part.y won't be enough. You still need set
part.style.position = "absolute". I don't think that will translate over
to the HTML side and will not be useful to Flash.

Re: [FlexJS] Layouts

[Peter Ent]

The x and y properties in Flash are always relative to their parent
container. The browser world is, well I'll just say "complex" and leave it
at that.

If you do position:relative then x (left) and y (top) become positions
relative to the nearest element in the "flow" the browser lays down. That
is probably only partially accurate as I always have to run a half dozen
experiments to understand the differences. We don't have anything like
that in Flash. Eventually I want to a ConstraintLayout that makes use of
that, but probably next release.

Anyway, back to your original question. If component-specific code (i.e.,
COMPILE::JS) is not available to component authors outside the framework
space, then you are left with CSS.

If you were to give all of your sub-elements a common class name, then you
could do:

.MyComponent .commonName {
position:absolute;
}

And still programmatically position them using .x and .y properties. The
Flash side will work as intended and now the JS side should as well.

Re: [FlexJS] Layouts

[Peter Ent]

This is still a little bit of a conundrum. Automatically setting
position:absolute when setting x and y (effectively left and top styles)
runs into several problems as you can imagine.

One issue is that you have to make sure the parent container's position is
either relative or absolute, otherwise the element is positioned on the
first item in the parent chain that has position relative or absolute.
This is why BasicLayout sets the host component's position if it isn't
already set.

I first encourage you to base any new components on Group and then add in
BasicLayout. Nothing will happen until you dispatch a layout needed event.
You should be able to add multiple children and then dispatch the event.

We could also make a specialized Group subclass that has a
positionElement(element, x, y) function that will also set
position:absolute. Perhaps we could call it "BasicGroup" that would also
make BasicLayout its default but you would not necessarily need to run the
layout every time.

Maybe there are some other ideas?

If you are targeting HTML only, then you can use Group and just add
overflow:auto to its style and you will have scrolling. If you use
Container with a ScrollingViewport it will do the exact same thing; all
ScrollingView does on the HTML side is add overflow:auto to the DIV's
style.

I have been ignoring Basic project for now. We should discuss what is to
become of it. Personally, I would keep the HTML-specific components in the
HTML project and move the others into Basic, replacing what's already
there. But I'm not sure how safe or practical that is right now. I believe
we should resolve this for the Flex 0.8 release.

The HorizontalLayout in the Basic project is completely incompatible with
the HTML version. The protocols for ILayoutHost etc have been changed. The
layout algorithm is probably close to identical, however.

A number of the MDL "container" classes are based on the HTML Group (I
don't think any use Container since, for reason #1 above, it isn't useful
to HTML-only code). It is probably safe to mix them, but I am not an MDL
expert and I do not know the ramifications of doing that.

[FlexJS] Table

[Peter Ent]

Hi,

I've just committed/pushed a new FlexJS component (and its helpers) to the HTML 
project. It is the  component. I saw that there were JS-only 
fragments of Table present and decided to make an official SWF/JS version.

The idea is to create a clean  HTML structure and mimic it in the Flash 
Player. For a first-pass, it does a pretty good job.

It works something like this:



 
   
 
 



 






You can place nearly anything inside of a cell (I tried it with another Table 
and Groups). If you need it to scroll, place it within  and add a 
 bead to the Container.

Peter

Re: [4/6] git commit: [flex-asjs] [refs/heads/develop] - replace existing format bead if it exists

[Peter Ent]

It is supposed to work like this:

A: You may have zero or more beads defined inline in MXML for your
component using  property.

B: You may have zero or more beads defined in CSS for your component.

When addElement is called on your component, it will add the underlying
element to the display list and then call addedToParent() on the component
and process the inline beads first (situation A).

Once the inline beads are added (and their strand setters are called), the
"standard" set of beads may be added: model, view, and controller. This
done by first seeing if one is already on the beads list (e.g. added
inline). If it is not present, then the CSS (situation B) is examined
using ValuesManager. If a bead class is found, it is instantiated and then
added to the strand's beads list (the bead's strand setter is called).

When the "standard" beads have been added, addedToParent() finished by
dispatching "beadsAdded" on the strand.

C: Any beads in CSS that are non-standard are not automatically added.

If your component class overrides addedToParent() it should call
super.addedToParent() right away to load the inline and standard beads.

After calling super.addedToParent(), your component can then load custom
beads (e.g., a date formatter) by following the same pattern
addedToParent() follows: Using an interface type, does the bead already
exist on the strand (added inline)? If not, is there a class for it in CSS
via ValuesManager? If so, create a new instance and add it to the bead
list.

The reason for this sequence is to allow inline beads to override default
beads (default beads being added in addedToParent()). So if your component
loads the ABCBead in its addedToParent() override, I can use your
component and put in my custom DEFBead which either extends ABCBead or
implements IMyCustomBead interface (which ABCBead should also implement).
This bead will be loaded early (in super.addedToParent()) and will not get
replaced by the default later.

Since "beadsAdded" was already dispatched, your component might want to
either dispatch "initComplete" or some custom event. Note that the
container classes (GroupBase/Group, ContainerBase/Container, etc.) all
dispatch "initComplete" so if your basing your component on a container
type, you don't have to dispatch "initComplete" but you can dispatch a
custom event.

I hope that helps.

Re: [FlexJS] Examples

Thanks for the note about the US Census data. Census data, coupled with
maps, always provides interesting information. It does however, take a bit
of time to figure out what to query, how to query it, and how to present
it. I think we could work this into a very nice example at some point.

Does anyone know of something more real-time?
