thanks Gordon, but i'm using our framework for receive data 
(ServiceLocator etc)
and our function are called in other piece of code in our project, and 
the id or name of button are not the same, and i think to put in our 
delgate all id button it's not a good idea, (in our case)

If you use Cairngorm, use a ViewHelper to change the button state. This 
way you can change the state from anywhere.

[flexcoders] Anybody implemented double y-scale with Flex line chart?

2005-03-30 Thread Pekka Kola











Hi!

 

 I should present two datasets in same chart, one with
value between 0.0-1.5 and another with 50-200, both having the same x-scale. It
would be nice to have separate y-scales (e.g. 0.0-2.5 and 0.0-250) to get them nicely located in chart.
I am looking for Excel chart like style, where the first scale is in left side
of the chart and the second in right.

 

Thanks in advance 

 

Pekka

RE: [flexcoders] super.super?






I have 
extended the DateChooser component to allow user to click through Years and 
Months rather than just Months.
 
I have 
overridden the createChildren() method. DateChooser calls 
super.createChildren(). If I call super.createChildren() in my subclass at the 
end of my method it redefines the objects that I have overridden, if I call it 
at the beginning of my method before I create the objects, it does most of the 
work twice.
 
It 
works if I don't call super.createChildren() at all, but there are side 
effects that I have to fix after anyway.
 
If the 
superClass creates and lays-out objects that I do not want in my subClass I 
would like to be able to call the superClass' super methods to by-pass the 
instantiation and layout of the objects that I don't want.
 
But I 
presume its not possible?

  because, through inheritance,all unredefined methods of A are 
  automatically available to B. Superonly works one level up.

[flexcoders] DateChooser component






Just in case any MM 
component guys are reading.
 
The DateChooser sets 
the dateDisplay (header date text) with the same command:dateDisplay.text = monthNames[m]+" "+displayedYear;
in nearly all of the 
setters.
It would have been 
easier to override this if a method had been used to set this, then we wouldn't 
have to override all of the setters as well.
 
I've now done this 
in my extended DateChooser/DateField so that I can step through the years as 
well as the months.
 
 
Kind Regards,

2005-03-30 Thread Abdul Qabiz


Hi Devis,

As long as first function doesn't call any asynchronous operation, both
functions would be execute in an order...

If you are calling some webservice/remoting method from first function, then
you can keep second function call in onResult handler of first function
call

That ways, you would be sure that second function is always called after
first function is called and results are received from server...

Have you tried using the mx.utils.Delegate class?

  myGrid.getColumnAt(0).labelFunction = 
mx.utils.Delegate.create(anotherClassInstance, anotherFunction);

haven't tested it, but it should work.

[flexcoders] Re: referencing id in parent titlewindow from another titlewindow?

Matt, tried out parentDocument with no luck. syntax? 

The scenario I'm trying to replicate, but in a different way, comes
from livedocs. The major difference being I'm not starting on the main
app level, but from a different TitleWindow.

code from livedocs:
---
Passing data to a pop-up TitleWindow container

To make the custom component that defines your TitleWindow container
more flexible, you might want to pass data to it or return data from
it. For example, the following application opens a pop-up TitleWindow
container and passes to it a reference to a component in the
Application container so that the custom component can write its
results back to the container:

http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";>

The custom component in the following example defines a variable to
hold the reference to the parent component, then uses that reference
to update the parent component:

http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; 
   click="deletePopUp()">

---

Now, in my case this doesn't work of course, because I'm starting from
a TitleWindow. If someone can provide some code examples of one
TitleWindow changing props of a container in another TitleWindow.. or
doing anything.. it'd be much appreciated. I need two TitleWindows to
talk to one another, and have so far been unsuccessful.

[flexcoders] Flex with HitBox (HBX)

2005-03-30 Thread jonbez



Hi there,

I have just received a request from our marketing dept to have HitBox
included into our Flex app.  I know very little (OK - nothing) about
it - so I wonder if anyone has any pearls of wisdom to share.

I believe it is possible to connect it to ActionScript somehow, and
use it that way.  Does anyone know if there is a better way to maybe
integrate that with URLs/RemoteObjects or whatever.

Thanks

Jonathan

included into our Flex app.  I know very little (OK - nothing) about
it - so I wonder if anyone has any pearls of wisdom to share.

I believe it is possible to connect it to ActionScript somehow, and
use it that way.  Does anyone know if there is a better way to maybe
integrate that with URLs/RemoteObjects or whatever.

Thanks

Jonathan

[flexcoders] custom formatter

2005-03-30 Thread Steve Pruitt






The format method on 
a custom formatter is not being called.  I have trace stmts in the format 
method and they never print and the intended formatting doesn't 
happen.
The class looks 
like:
 
   class 
myformatters.VersionStatusFormatter extends Formatter
   
{
  :
  :
  public function format(value : String) : 
String
  {
    :
    :
    return 
someString;
  }
  
}
 
Its defined 
in a mxml like this:
 

 
And then I use it 
like this:
 
private function 
getVersionStatus() : String{ 
trace("VersionedAdmin - getVersionStatus");   return 
statusFormatter.format(someString);  //someString is defined 
globally}
 
I tried inlining the 
format method call in the text= attribute, but it didn't work there 
either.  Everything compiles ok.  And statusFormatter appears to be 
set to
something, ala  
toString() reveals statusFormatter[object Object].

Re: [flexcoders] Flex with HitBox (HBX)

2005-03-30 Thread Jonathan Bezuidenhout


It is software to track people's beahviour and analyzes it

http://www.websidestory.com/services-solutions/hbx/overview.html

http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/proom/pr/2001/websidestory.html

e.g. if you go to a page, and stay there for a couple of mins, or
click on certain things it can track it - so if you have a link or

tell if it is popular or not etc.

RE: [flexcoders] LabelFunctions and SortFunctions






Hi 
Dirk,
 
Thanks 
for the suggestion, I hadn't thought of that, but it didn't work when I tried 
it. So I tried just 
 
dg.getColumnAt( 0 ).labelFunction = dgVH.labelFunc;
 
and 
this did work. Its a big improvement over wrapping external class functions with 
a function!
 
But 
what I was originally trying to do was set the labelfunction in the MXML which 
was giving the error I described. I also tried your suggestion here, but this 
didn't work either.
 
Thanks 
for your pointer,

RE: [flexcoders] Flex with HitBox (HBX)

2005-03-30 Thread Steven Webster

What you are actually asking about then is how to integrate with
an analytics too; most analytics tools actually work by using
Javascript or by exposing an XML over HTTP(s) or SOAP API.

Rather than try and embed a hidden image (the common trick for
analytics) you should look to see what integration technologies
your particular analytics vendor supports (WebSideStory for 
instance, uses Cookies and JavaScript).

There's an article on integrating with Omniture, which also
uses a JavaScript and Cookie tracking mechanism, here:

http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/analytic_app_print.html

That's probably the starting point you are looking for.

We have just (about) completed a major Flex app that has 
analytics requirements, and a piece of advice is that you
need to have your customer (marketing dept) think very
carefully about what information they want OUT of the
analytics engine.with an RIA we break free of the
concept of page-impressions, and analytics allows us to
gain much more powerful metrics, by tracking significant
business events that convey much more meaning about
how users are using and not using your application, than
page impressions can signify (ie if someone refreshes
a page several times on online banking application, is
it because they made seven bill payments, or is it because
they failed seven times to pay one bill ?).

If you just want to churn lots of guff out into the logs
however, and impress a marketing department that will never
actually use the info, just ask for it, then you should
look to extending the Cairngorm Controller class to 
log events + corresponding data for every user-gesture.

Good luck,

Steven

RE: [flexcoders] LabelFunctions and SortFunctions

2005-03-30 Thread Dirk Eismann


Hi,

I'm glad it worked. There was a mistake in my first post: the object you want 
to call the function on needs to be added to the Delegate call. In your case:

dg.getColumnAt( 0 ).labelFunction = mx.utils.Delegate.create(dgVH, 
dgVH.labelFunc);

This enforces that the function is called with the right scope. 

Dirk.

At the moment a labelFunction or sortFunction has to be defined in the MXML

It would be nice to be able to use an external Class to achieve this and thus 
enhance code clarity and re-use.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

RE: [flexcoders] LabelFunctions and SortFunctions






Hi 
Dirk,
 
I haven't quite got my head around the whole Delegate thing 
yet.
When 
you say "This enforces that the 
function is called with the right scope" what do you 
mean?
 
I 
understand scope - so if I set my labelFunction without using the Delegate 
class, is there a chance of using or changing variables in the wrong 
place - or something like that?
 
Simon

RE: [flexcoders] super.super?

2005-03-30 Thread Gordon Smith

Title: Message





This 
is actually a bug in DateChooser's createChildren(). A createChildren() routine 
should not recreate children than already exist.
 
It 
isn't possible to use super.super but you could probably play games like 
UIComponent.prototype.createChildren.call().

  I 
  have extended the DateChooser component to allow user to click 
  through Years and Months rather than just Months.
   
  I 
  have overridden the createChildren() method. DateChooser calls 
  super.createChildren(). If I call super.createChildren() in my subclass at the 
  end of my method it redefines the objects that I have overridden, if I call it 
  at the beginning of my method before I create the objects, it does most of the 
  work twice.
   
  It 
  works if I don't call super.createChildren() at all, but there are side 
  effects that I have to fix after anyway.
   
  If 
  the superClass creates and lays-out objects that I do not want in my subClass 
  I would like to be able to call the superClass' super methods to by-pass the 
  instantiation and layout of the objects that I don't want.
   
  But 
  I presume its not possible?

[flexcoders] Re: custom theme error

2005-03-30 Thread d_marttila

Hi Abdul,

Thanks for your response. I've done a little more testing. 

Your example does not work for me either. I get the same error. "Error
/pulseBlueThemeTest.mxml:1 
Unable to load theme themes/pulseBlue.swc" I am running the JRun
integrated server on my machine. I also tested on my home machine
(identical setup) and got the same error. I am running XPPro on both.

But, I installed your example on a workmate's machine and got it to
work. He is running Flex in Apache (not JRun) on his machine.

So, I guess I will install Apache and try that. Maybe some setting
with the integrated server?

In addition to this test, I've been creating custom components in
Flash and running them in Flex - and that's been working. So, I'm
pretty sure my directory structure is correct. Plus, with this theme
problem, I tried parent directory, same directory, etc. 

I'll post again when I get Apache running.

Thanks for your help,

Doug

Anybody know of a good tutorial/guide to adding a waiting screen to a Flex app? I have a Flash animation that I need to show while the user waits for stuff to load. Google brought up a few bits but nothing particularly useful.

RE: [flexcoders] ActionScript question

2005-03-30 Thread Matt Chotin











Well you could have both the fault handler
for the first function and the result handler call the 2nd method. 
In ActionScript there is no way to “wait” for a function that makes
a network call to complete.  If you look in the docs for the Asynchronous
Completion Token pattern you might be able to get some ideas as to how you
could link up calls.  I think the Flex book also talks about strategies and you
could see how they might fit into Cairngorm (even though you’re not using
it right now).

RE: [flexcoders] Re: RemoteObjects and UI within UI problem

2005-03-30 Thread Dimitrios Gianninas






Well I got side tracked with 
working on something else last week, so I had to put this experiment on 
hold.
 
So I got back to it today and 
tried adding the crossdomain.xml files to both domains as Matt suggested, but 
that doesn't work.
 
You are correct, using the 
ServiceLocator in a UI within UI scenario makes it use the service.mxml used by 
the parent UI. I then tried to hardcode the AS2 delegate to use the 
services.mxml specified in the child UI and that doesn't seem to be working 
either.
 
So I guess when in a UI within 
UI scenario, you have to specify all RO objects within the parent UI only and 
that should do the trick... however that is not what I am interested 
in.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: referencing id in parent titlewindow from an other titlewindow?

2005-03-30 Thread Matt Chotin

Oh, yeah that might not work on a popup. 
Can you just pass the component through to the first TitleWindow like the
example does and then when it pops the 2nd TitleWindow do the same
thing?  Otherwise you probably have to walk down from the top to reach it,
Application.application.comp1.comp2…

Subject: [flexcoders] Re:

Matt, tried out parentDocument with no luck.
syntax? 

The scenario I'm trying to replicate, but in a
different way, comes
from livedocs. The major difference being I'm not
starting on the main
app level, but from a different TitleWindow.

code from livedocs:
---
Passing data to a pop-up TitleWindow container

To make the custom component that defines your
TitleWindow container
more flexible, you might want to pass data to it
or return data from
it. For example, the following application opens a
pop-up TitleWindow
container and passes to it a reference to a
component in the
Application container so that the custom component
can write its
results back to the container:

http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml">

The custom component in the following example
defines a variable to
hold the reference to the parent component, then
uses that reference
to update the parent component:

http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"

   click="deletePopUp()">

  this.deletePopUp();" />

---

Now, in my case this doesn't work of course,
because I'm starting from
a TitleWindow. If someone can provide some code
examples of one
TitleWindow changing props of a container in
another TitleWindow.. or
doing anything.. it'd be much appreciated. I need
two TitleWindows to
talk to one another, and have so far been
unsuccessful.

[flexcoders] Large Flex app architecture

2005-03-30 Thread Valy Sivec





I'm designing a quite large application and plann to use viewstack container(s). Because each view will contain lots of panels and info I'm affraid that the browser might hit his limit in regards with the memory consumption and crash... seen couple of messages with the same problem and I would like to avoid it...
Actually I'm not even sure how the Flash Player garbage collector works or if there is any  I'm very new to this Flash/Flex world so sorry if the question is dumb...
Is it safe grouping the screens in multiple viewstacks and include them from the jsp pages? or should be enough having only one viewstack container for the whole application? Any suggestion?

Can you use the FlexBuilder debugger or

doing anything wrong, though I think the proper signature for format is:

 

public function format(value) : String
//note that value is untyped

}

I tried inlining the format method call in the text=

And statusFormatter appears to be set to





something, ala  toString() reveals
statusFormatter[object Object].

[flexcoders] formatting charts

2005-03-30 Thread christoph larch


hi there,

is it possible to format charts (pie and column charts) via css?
i've got different xml files, load them dynamically and i want to
format them always with the same colors..

eg: instead naming all the colors, load them via css...


































thx in advance!

RE: [flexcoders] formatting charts

2005-03-30 Thread Ely Greenfield





Hi chris. The answer is...sort of. The charts are completely stylable
through CSS. The big limitation is that the styleable chart properties make
heavy use of compound values...strokes, gradientFills, renderers, etc. Which
can't be expressed using the CSS syntax.

So a more fine grained answer to your question:

- can the charts be styled through flex's styling mechanism? Absolutely.
- can the values of these styles be expressed in the CSS syntax? Not always.

As an convenience feature, any style that accepts a fill value will accept
an RGB value that gets automatically converted into a SolidColor fill
object. So you should be able to specify colors for a PieSeries like this:

PieSeries {
Fills: #FF #00FF00 #FF;
}

(I can't remember exact syntax for arrays in CSS, but I think that's
correct).

As far as setting up pre-defined styles for more complex properties...The
best Approach I've seen is:

- define a faceless AS class, called 'MyPieStyles'
- in the constructor, have it create a CSSStyleDeclaration via AS. Give your
styleDeclaration an appropriate name (".blueTintPieSeries")
- populate the values of the style declaration via AS (setStyle("fill", new
LinearGradient(...)).
- drop the faceless component into your app ()
- now the style is available for you to use on your charts ()


Ely.

Hi there,

When an item is selected an change event is broadcasted.
MenuBar broadcasts an event object with this properties
menuBar,menu,menuItem,groupName,type and target.
For what you need you can use it like this:

Your xml should look like this:

[flexcoders] Data Rows on MXML

2005-03-30 Thread Shahnavaz Alware











Hi, 

 

I am piloting the application in Flex where I am trying to bring
back 5000 records from backend. The application breaks down in between. I am
new to flex, so I am unaware of Memory management parameters which will allow
me to allot memory to flex which is running out of memory ( FlexServlet MemoryOutError
). So is there a way flex can handle large amount of data. 

Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Re: Large Flex app architecture

Valy, the only suggestion I have is break things up into separate 
components (mxml pages) as much as possible. 

Here's some steps we've taken  to help combat mem/load issues:

Eventually you're going to run into even the 32K limit on each file
like we did. Keep all your actionscript in separate .as files and
include them inline in your mxml (using  to help avoid this. And rememeber to keep
code efficient, as every line adds up.

Separate out your remoteobject calls... 

http://dev.mfgquote.com/flashservices/gateway?a";
source="app.machii.model.FlexUser" showBusyCursor="true">

http://dev.mfgquote.com/flashservices/gateway?b";
source="app.machii.model.FlexUser" showBusyCursor="true">

and remember to append the ?x to trick the gateway so as to not
bombard it but to attack it seperately.. there's an article about this
in detail online (if someone can provide url)

do as much preplanning as possible ... to break this "large app" up.
Ensure you're not trying to put too much into just 1 application.

Also from a backend perspective, don't send too much data down the
pipe either.. (ie. 10,000 rows vers 500) Perfect your backend code/sql
to  send down only what is necessary for that given moment.

Look at your overall container load.. do you truly need viewstacks
everywhere? Mainly, keep nesting down to a minimum.. the more
containers you add, the larger the overall load.

keep breakin up the pieces mon, that's the key -- compartmentalize
your tools/apps/functions 

good luck.

[flexcoders] How to pass var to CFC when it is blank

2005-03-30 Thread cnewroth55



I have a form that I have several fields on and I am sending them to a
cfc for processing, however if any of the fields are blank then I get,
"Required parameter '' not found in input arguements". How can I
either validate the fields or allow them to be blank...
here is a sample of one of the field(s):


  
  

* on of the request inputs in the webservice call to the cfc;
{TypeOfAction.selectedData}

now if I don't check this radio box then I will get the error
mentioned above...i have other fields that vary from radio buttons to
text fields and if I don't fill them all in the I get that error. ANy
idea on how to allow for blank or nulls?

RE: [flexcoders] formatting charts

2005-03-30 Thread Ely Greenfield

Sure. That takes a little bit more explaining.  Each column series has a
'fill' style which contains a Fill object used to fill in the columns.
Rocket Science, I know ;)

The problem is, we want a a different value for 'fill' for each column
series in any given chart.  Why is this a problem?

The rules of CSS cascading generally are:
- if the tag has a local value specified for the style, it uses the
local value.
- if the tag has a stylename property that points to a selector with
a value specified for the style, it uses the stylename value.
- if there's a selector whose name matches the tag name with a value
specified for the style, it uses the tag name selector value.

With those three rules, there's no way, through CSS, to say 'this is the
value of the fill property for the 3rd appearance of the ColumnSeries tag
inside the ColumnChart.' ( I think CSS3 might have rules for such a
selector, but flex doesn't support CSS3 ;)

So in order to make charts 'do the right thing' without any work from the
developer, a little monkey business happens behind the scenes:

1. each chart has a style property called 'chartSeriesStyles'.
2. this property contains an array of strings. Each string should be the
name of another CSS selector.
3. When the chart is assigned its series objects, it sets the stylename of
each Nth series in the series array to the nth selector in the
'chartSeriesStyle' array.
4. if you manually set a 'stylename' on a particular series, it gets
priority over this special 'internal' stylename that the chart automatically
assigns.

So, back to your question.  If you wanted to write a CSS stylesheet that
automatically colored the columns in a chart blue, green, and red, you could
do something like this:

.PrimaryColorsColumnChart {
chartSeriesStyles: PCCSeries1 PCCSeries2 PCCSeries3;
}
.PCCSeries1 {
Fill: #FF;
}

.PCCSeries2 {
Fill: #00FF00;
}
.PCCSeries3 {
Fill: #FF;
}

If you have more series than available chartSeriesStyles, the chart will
cycle back through the list.

The same caveats apply here...there's no way to specify compound values in
CSS. So if you wanted to set up some reusable styles using gradients, you'd
follow the same general approach outlined above, but you'd have to set it up
it through actionscript.

Ely.

[flexcoders] Re: zinger chart help

2005-03-30 Thread chubbohead

I'm having a somewhat similar problem... I'm using a ViewStack that is
linked to a chart derived from the zinger chart example.  When you
click on the chart, it changes the ViewStack to the canvas I want, and
is supposed to modify the .text for a Label using the
getDrillDownData(event.hitData.element.yField, event.hitData.item);
that they provide.

The first time you click on the bars, the label text for both of these
events is presented as "undefined".  On the second and subsequent
clicks, the labels are updated as expected.

I'm no Flex or ActionScript expert, so I'm not sure if this is an
error with Flex or (more likely) a problem with my code.

I'm playing with .dispatchEvent to see if that will initialize things
for me.

[flexcoders] Creating a movie clip

2005-03-30 Thread Nate Nielsen






How can one create a blank movie clip for drawing 
purposes in flex?   I'm a bit lost as to what libraries to include to 
interface with the base flash classes.  I would think one of the 
following would draw a line on the screen (in a script of 
course) :
 
var lineObj : MovieClip;lineObj = new 
MovieClip();lineObj.lineStyle(2, 0x00, 100);lineObj.moveTo(0, 
0);lineObj.lineTo(100, 100);
 
or 
 
this.createEmptyMovieClip("line_mc", 
1);line_mc.lineStyle(2, 0x00, 100);line_mc.moveTo(0, 
0);line_mc.lineTo(100, 100);
 
doest work though, can anyone 
help?

[flexcoders] Re: How to pass var to CFC when it is blank



Craig, sounds like your cfarguments are set to required="true" in the
CFC.. you could do a default= in your cfargument  so that you can have
something in there always.

Also, confused as to why you're employing..

* on of the request inputs in the webservice call to the cfc;
{TypeOfAction.selectedData}

You are doing your http://mydomain/flashservices/gateway?h";

Nevermind on my confusion.. sounds like:

* on of the request inputs in the webservice call to the cfc;
{TypeOfAction.selectedData}

is part of the model/object you're sending to the CFC, got it. Been a
long day thus far. ;)

MXML



 

Hi, 

 

I am piloting the application in Flex where I am trying to
bring back 5000 records from backend. The application breaks down in between. I
am new to flex, so I am unaware of Memory management parameters which will
allow me to allot memory to flex which is running out of memory ( FlexServlet
MemoryOutError ). So is there a way flex can handle large amount of data. 

Thanks in advance.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Large Flex app architecture

" separate .as files and include them inline "
I recommend against this. If you get more than a couple thousand lines
you will hit the the 32k barrier.

Instead, create an AS class that contains the functionality script. Make
the functions static and import the class, or make them normally and
instantiate the class in mxml 

Reference the functions ui.myFunction.

I have never hit the 32k limit using this method.

Look into the Cairngorm architecture.

Valy, the only suggestion I have is break things up into separate 
components (mxml pages) as much as possible. 

Here's some steps we've taken  to help combat mem/load issues:

Eventually you're going to run into even the 32K limit on each file
like we did. Keep all your actionscript in separate .as files and
include them inline in your mxml (using  to help avoid this. And rememeber to keep
code efficient, as every line adds up.

Separate out your remoteobject calls... 

http://dev.mfgquote.com/flashservices/gateway?a";
source="app.machii.model.FlexUser" showBusyCursor="true">

http://dev.mfgquote.com/flashservices/gateway?b";
source="app.machii.model.FlexUser" showBusyCursor="true">

and remember to append the ?x to trick the gateway so as to not
bombard it but to attack it seperately.. there's an article about this
in detail online (if someone can provide url)

do as much preplanning as possible ... to break this "large app" up.
Ensure you're not trying to put too much into just 1 application.

Also from a backend perspective, don't send too much data down the
pipe either.. (ie. 10,000 rows vers 500) Perfect your backend code/sql
to  send down only what is necessary for that given moment.

Look at your overall container load.. do you truly need viewstacks
everywhere? Mainly, keep nesting down to a minimum.. the more
containers you add, the larger the overall load.

keep breakin up the pieces mon, that's the key -- compartmentalize
your tools/apps/functions 

good luck.

[flexcoders] Re: How to pass var to CFC when it is blank



Sorry for the separate posts All..
but on the flex side.. you can employ validation multiple ways but one
option is to combine:

requred="true" in your  or other validator to
help enforce that requirement -- gives a lot of visual cues to user..
 
don't enable submit until everything is filled out
in every forminput or last run a change="myfunction()" 
and in the function check for myfield.length > 0 or whatever to ensure
everything is filled out.. if so enable the button.

[flexcoders] Example instantiated and static utility classes

Title: Example instantiated and static utility classes








Below is a sample mxml app, a utility class the is instantiated normally, and a static class.  Putting as code into classes this way helps avoid the 32k limit.  

Note that I pass a reference to the main app into the instantiated class. Doing this for an mxml component will support binding to application level objects.  Especially note that the data type is the application name

UtilityClassText.msml



http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" xmlns="*">

    

    

    

    



UtilityClass.as

// Example utility function class for dynamic instantiation

class UtilityClass

{

    public var app:UtilityClassTest;

    public function getFoo():String{

        return "FOO" + app.sAppProperty;

    }

}//UtilityClass

UtilityClassStatic.as

// Example utility function class for Static reference

class UtilityClassStatic

{

    public static function getBar():String{

        return "BAR";

    }

}//UtilityClassStatic

Well I got side tracked with 
working on something else last week, so I had to put this experiment on 
hold.
 
So I got back to it today and 
tried adding the crossdomain.xml files to both domains as Matt suggested, but 
that doesn't work.
 
You are correct, using the 
ServiceLocator in a UI within UI scenario makes it use the service.mxml used by 
the parent UI. I then tried to hardcode the AS2 delegate to use the 
services.mxml specified in the child UI and that doesn't seem to be working either.
 
So I guess when in a UI within 
UI scenario, you have to specify all RO objects within the parent UI only and 
that should do the trick... however that is not what I am interested 
in.

Thanks very much Steven - great link.

Yes, we are looking at Cairngorm - however I am dealing with a one
year old legacy Flex app - yes there is such a thing - so radical
changes are not always easy.

[flexcoders] Re: custom theme error

2005-03-30 Thread d_marttila



The custom themes work running Flex Server on Tomcat (I've given up on
integrated JRun - can anyone get custom themes to work running
integrated JRun?). But, now I can't get FlexBuilder to recognize my
Tomcat Flex Server. I.e., the mxml files work running on localHost
8080 - but, I can't click RUN in FlexBuilder - which is kind of a drag
because I've been using the TRACE tab for component development.

[flexcoders] Re: Error: Cannot invoke method when using a VO



I turned on remote object debugging, but it seems to make my
flexbuilder unresponsive. After a while, builder says that I should
abort the script or it will make my machine lock up. If I set remote
object debug to false and restart the server, this no longer happens.

But I think I found the issue anyway; it seems that for some reason,
the Group isn't being sent over the wire as a Group, even though I
have the Object.registerClass correct. Also, when I get an array of
Groups from my server, they are correct. 

But it seems that in my client class, when I do:

var group:Group = new Group();
group.name = "test";
remoteDelegate.addGroup(group);

it gives me that "can't invoke method error", because it's not a Group
POJO, it's just a hashmap. Why is this happening?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Error: Cannot invoke method when using a VO

Have you posted the Object.registerClass line of code in this thread
yet? I've not yet seen it, but it must not be registered correctly or
the class not linked in at compile time to match the registration as the
player would send an instance of Group.

All objects go over the wire as ASObjects, but they may include type
information if they're registered.  The raw representation of an
ASObject on the server side is a HashMap. It's the server side part of
RemoteObject that knows how to map ASObject -> Group before invoking
your method.

Since you're not having any luck with Flex Builder, did you try what I
suggested using the NetConnectionDebugger.swf (which ships in the extras
folder of the Flex 1.5 install) with remote-objects debug enabled (it
doesn't have anything to do with Flex Builder)? If that's not suitable
then you could use the gateway debug level logging approach on the
server. I'd prefer you to try the server gateway logging approach anyway
as we want to see whether an AMF Typed Object or untyped Object was
deserialized from your Group param.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 price

2005-03-30 Thread Lucian Beebe


There has been a lot of speculation about price changes for Flex. Let's set
the record straight. As of April 1, we are adjusting the price of Flex.
There are now three different packages for Flex going forward. For most
people, the starter kit will provide everything you need for your Flex
applications: 4 CPUs and Gold Support for $29,000. That's actually cheaper
than Flex was in the past for 4 CPUs + Gold Support. For the larger Flex
applications out there, we will sell per CPU at $15,000 per CPU. Finally,
for software vendors who want to embed Flex in their applications, we have
special pricing built around your requirements and your market. However, and
this is important, where you see value in Flex, we are interested in working
with you to design the right packaging for your needs. If you are interested
in using Flex on a real project, let us know so we can work with you and
find the right packaging/pricing to fit your needs. 
 
In response to some of your comments, over time, we are very interested in
offering additional licensing options to broaden the range of projects and
developers who can leverage Flex technology.  We follow the market very
closely, and pay great attention to your constructive feedback.  We all have
a stake in the success of this marketplace.

Why are we changing the price of Flex?
 
We have been building, selling, and supporting Flex for a year now. The
marketplace for rich Internet applications is really taking off. Hundreds of
applications are being delivered all over the world, and the general
interest level is really growing out there. 
 
Within this overall marketplace, there are a variety of customer segments
and project types with varying requirements. Large enterprise customers and
systems integration partners require substantial pre-sales engagement and
ongoing assistance from Macromedia commensurate with the value that they
intend to derive from the software. Small and medium size customers and
individual developers require low up front costs to get started fast and
operate within very limited IT budgets.
 
It is important to have great offerings for each type of user. There is no
"one size fits all" approach that both makes everyone successful and is
sustainable over the long term.  A stratified approach makes the most sense,
and that's what we're gradually implementing.  We've adjusted our core
product pricing to better reflect both the value derived and the costs
involved in driving successful projects within large enterprise customers.
We've also created a starter package that combines deeply discounted Flex
licenses with high quality support designed to address the needs of large
customers doing pilot projects or medium size customers doing full
deployments.  
 
Please talk to us if you have special needs. We will continue to work
directly with enterprise customers doing larger deployments or who desire
Enterprise Licensing Agreements. We also have specialized offerings for ISVs
delivering packaged software solutions based on Flex. If you have a project
specifically suited to Flex but need different packaging, please contact
your Macromedia sales rep to discuss your project and the pricing options
that meet your needs.  If you see real value in Flex, there is probably a
way to make it work.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Error: Cannot invoke method when using a VO

You can tweak the gateway to give more info by modifying its
configuration file directly. Go to:

/WEB-INF/flex/gateway-config.xml  (not flex-config.xml)

Set Debug level logging for the gateway:

flex.services.logging.FlexGatewayLogger

Check the /WEB-INF/flex/logs/flex.log or simply watch the server console
window if you've enabled console logging for Flex and have launched flex
from the command line rather than as a service. You should see what the
ActionScript Message Format (AMF) deserialized as...

The server side representation of your class has to loosely match the
client types based on what is serialized. While it's true that the Flash
Player might not serialize all of the properties on a client object if
they're undefined, this shouldn't concern the server type as only the
properties sent will be used to initialize your server type.

If your client Group type has a property:

var subGroups:Array;

Then the server type should have:

public void setSubGroups(Group[] gs);

If you still can't get it to work, zip everything up and email it to me
off list.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Error: Cannot invoke method when using a VO

I've set my flex logs to debug, but I don't get much in the way of
logging from flex.

I've also set every trace option to true, but still don't get much
from it.

I'm curious, do my server and client sided classes have to have
identical sets of members (or matching getters and setters)? I ask
this because my server side POJOs have getters that are simply subsets
of internal variables, like getSubGroups which returns a subset of
what getGroups() would. On my client class side, i created a variable
called subGroups:Array so that this information is immediately
available, and is populated with getSubGroups() on the server side.

My question is, does that mean that my server sided class will need a
setSubGroups() since Flex sees this variable on the client side? Or if
it doesn't will the classes still match up with Object.registerClass?

Found it... but it doesn't make total sense...

here's the response trace:

Below's the serialized request. You can see that the organization IS
being serialized... I'm not sure why it thinks that the expected
argument types are Group. The addGroup requires a Group, but the
Group.setOrganization method takes an Organization. They all have
_remoteClass assigned, too. Weird...

[flexcoders] Using Components in Flash


Hi All,

I had made a rating component in Flash MX 2004 to be used in Flex
and it works fine.

What if I have to use the same component in one of my Flash apps.
I tried using that component in my app. It works but am not able
to get the rating value in the flash app the way I was getting in
my Flex app.

Can anybody throw some light on this?
Do I need to change anything somewhere so that I can use
the same component in my Flash app.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Help with binding null data to web service parameters.

2005-03-30 Thread hecubus_eh



I'm building a simple Flex form that has several TextInput fields
that a person can use as search criteria.  They are basically
optional fields.

The text from the TextInput fields are bound directly to a set of web
service request parameters that is sending to a CFC-based WSDL.

The problem I'm running into is that if any of the TextInput fields
are not filled in by the user, no value is being passed to the web
service request 
parameters that the TextInput.text values are bound to.  The result
is that they are
treated as null by the WebService and the parameters are not sent in
the SOAP request. 
Since all parameters are required in a WSDL, the web service is
resulting in a SOAP 
message that some parameters are not being passed into the request.

Here is a code snippet:




http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
xmlns:r="view.*" pageTitle="Customer Search" initialize="">
http://localhost/Customer.cfc?wsdl"; id="wsCustomer">


{txtZip.text}
{txtLastName.text}
{txtFirstName.text}
{txtPhone.text}
{txtCompany.text}

{CustomerNumber.text}











 





That's the first problem...is there a way to explicitly send the
parameters that have no 
value, basically as if I did not bind any variables to the request
parameters?  If I send the 
request with no value inside the parameters (e.g. 
), the 
parameters are sent in the SOAP request with no values, which is fine
since the WSDL 
doesn't yell at me for not providing all the parameters.  

While debugging this problem, instead of binding the TextInput text
value directly to the 
WebService request parameters, I bound the values to a data model and
used the model as 
a value object.  I then bound the properties of the object to the
corresponding parameters 
in the WebService request.  The same error resulted, BUT...I tried to
use the following code 
to determine what the value of the TextInput.text was for each
TextInput:




...
{txtCompany.text == undefined ? 'foo':
txtCompany.text}
...




I expected the value of modelCS.txtCompany to be 'foo', but I ended
up with modelCS.txtCompany resulting in '', which incidentally the
WebService
recognized as an empty string.  Strangely enough, if I used ''
instead of 'foo' in my simple 
logic test inside the data model, it resulted in modelCS.txtCompany
to be undefined.

Does anyone have any idea what's happening here???  I'll be more than
happy to go into any more detail if necessary.

Thanks,

Rick...

Re: [flexcoders] Using Components in Flash

2005-03-30 Thread Scott Barnes

Not sure on how you built your rating component but first hing popped
in my head was to make sure you don't use the default v2 framework
that comes with Flash MX 2004 when you compile your app, but instead
make sure it points to the FlexForFlash framework...

(ie under ActionScript 2.0 settings just change the ordering).

Re: [flexcoders] Using Components in Flash


But I dont want to use the component in Flex. I want to use it in my 
Flash app.
So whats the relation of flexforflash in my case.

What if a person doesnt know anything about flex. He is just working on 
Flash apps. Not Flex.

Re: [flexcoders] Using Components in Flash

2005-03-30 Thread Scott Barnes


I can't see anything below that will prevent you from using it inside FLASH IDE.

You can do one of two things.

1) You can copy your assets/code into FLASH IDE, and make a component
that way by cutting and pasting + importing assets. That based on what
i've seen below  would work out ok as the mx.framework is very
similiar in its design with FLASH IDE... i'd only flag things if you
used flex specific components like Panel etc...

2) Take your FLEX MXML and using the compc compile it to a SWC file,
then copy it to your Flash IDE Program Files - again since your using
the basics of the framework you should be right. I think when you use
your component, FLASH IDE will tell its compiler to load the FLASH MX
2004 framewor as opposed to the FLEX version (thats if you have
FlexForFlash installed inside your ide...if you haven't then ignore
the above and just compile your mxml to a swc and use it like that)

Under the Flash Docs, do a serach for "Creating SWC files" it will
give you a step by step how to.

Other than that, I'm not sure what else is doable.

Re: [flexcoders] Using Components in Flash

The flash docs does have the Creating Components section but how do I get
the value ("rating" in my case) to any other variable in a Flash Appl.

Im not using any flex components.

I didnt get your 2nd point. Why should I compile with flex compiler.
Assume that Im gonna send this to another flash developer and he doesn't
have flex. Then what ? Actually, i am gonna put this on my personal 
website.

Everybody wont have flex. Thats the reason I asked why do I need to 
compile it
with flex compiler as said earlier.

I am just talking about pure 100% FLASH. If i have to create
a flash version of the comonents that I make for flex.

Whats the minimum changes I need to make in the components
so that they will work for a pure flash application.

[flexcoders] Custom AS2 Effects

2005-03-30 Thread Mike Shaw



Hi Folks,

Does anyone know why the following custom effect class which I am trying to
use to call various functions in an effect sequence would cause the sequence
to halt after running the called function.

Thanks Mike.

import mx.effects.Effect;

class com.webqem.flex.effects.CallFunctionEffect extends Effect {

private var obj:Object;
private var func:String;
private var args:Array;

function CallFunctionEffect(obj:Object, func:String) {
this.obj = obj;
this.func = func;
arguments.shift();
arguments.shift();
this.args = arguments;
}

public function playEffect():Void { 
if (obj != null && func != null) {
obj[func].apply(obj, args);
}   
}

public function getAffectedProperties():Array {
return new Array();
}
}

Re: [flexcoders] Using Components in Flash


Let me put my question in a different way.

The code that I posted in earlier mail doesnt fire the change event
On the change event of the component in the flash app nothing happens.

I am able to capture the value on the click of a button but I want
to capture that value on the click of the component.

Any idea ??

[flexcoders] Flex Lite

2005-03-30 Thread Thijs Triemstra | Collab

why does the 'starter kit'  come with 4CPUs and Gold Support? This sounds more like the full Flex package instead of a real 'lite' version.. why not 1 CPU without Gold Support for something lower or similar to the current 12K?? I bet it's cheaper than before but who needs 4CPUs + Gold Support to start with??

[flexcoders] Re: Error: Cannot invoke method when using a VO



WHat's interesting, is if you look at the below code, I have an array
of Groups, called subGroups. This is populated with objects of the
type Group, so that would seem to mean that Flex is typing them
correctly, at least when they come FROM the server if I create a
new object of this type and send it TO my server, it seems to not be
correct.

What's also weird, is if I inspect an object using debug, all the
Groups in the subGroups array have _remoteClass set, even though I
didn't specify it. This is due to the Object.registerClass I assume,
but when I instantiate a new Group(), that object lacks this variable.
It seems like it's being typed wrong from the client side. Am I
interpreting this correctly?

Here's what my Group.as code looks like:

class pojos.Group {
   public static var regClass = Object.registerClass("pojos.Group",
pojos.Group);
  public var id:String;
  public var name:String;
  public var organization:Organization;
  public var superGroup:Group;
  public var subGroups:Array;

function Group() {}

public function get data() {
return id;
}

  //... some getters and business methods
}

There has been a lot of speculation about price changes for Flex. Let's
set
the record straight. As of April 1, we are
adjusting the price of Flex.
There are now three different packages for Flex
going forward. For most
people, the starter kit will provide everything
you need for your Flex

That's actually cheaper
than Flex was in the past for 4 CPUs + Gold

can work with you and
find the right packaging/pricing to fit your
needs. 

In response to some of your comments, over time,
we are very interested in
offering additional licensing options to broaden
the range of projects and
developers who can leverage Flex technology. 
We follow the market very
closely, and pay great attention to your
constructive feedback.  We all have
a stake in the success of this marketplace.

Why are we changing the price of Flex?

We have been building, selling, and supporting
Flex for a year now. The
marketplace for rich Internet applications is
really taking off. Hundreds of
applications are being delivered all over the

interest level is really growing out there. 

Within this overall marketplace, there are a

enterprise customers and
systems integration partners require substantial
pre-sales engagement and
ongoing assistance from Macromedia commensurate
with the value that they
intend to derive from the software. Small and
medium size customers and
individual developers require low up front costs
to get started fast and
operate within very limited IT budgets.

It is important to have great offerings for each
type of user. There is no
"one size fits all" approach that both
makes everyone successful and is
sustainable over the long term.  A stratified
approach makes the most sense,
and that's what we're gradually
implementing.  We've adjusted our core

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Error: Cannot invoke method when using a VO

The Object.registerClass looks correct - but, your Group object isn't as
simple as I thought. I imagine the Organization class also needs to be
registered and availabe on the Java side too. Is that class registered?
Does it have a public no args constructor? ... and so forth.

Note: While it is used to try and achieve a similar result, _remoteClass
isn't from the Object.registerClass (it's likely the server has added
this for the case where users have forgotten Object.registerClass and
the RemoteObject responder tries to create its own instance of the type
for you... this is much slower than if you had used Object.registerClass
as the player can do this natively for you much faster). _remoteClass
was introduced to support RemoteObject via SOAP in Flex 1.0. The SOAP
transport protocol was removed for RemoteObject in Flex 1.5. I'd like to
see all Flex users move away from _remoteClass and rely on
Object.registerClass.

RE: [flexcoders] output String from WebService

2005-03-30 Thread Steiner, Jeff


 Yes.  I trigger the web service and I put the result like this:



In this function is where I have been trying everything.

function postResult(event) {
xmlResult =
mx.utils.XMLUtil.createXML(event.result);

resultText.text =
mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(registration.addUser.result);
}

I know that I am just overlooking something - just can't figure it out.

So the other option is to just hide and show the image objects.  You
could maintain a map of image URLs to their corresponding objects.  If
there's one already in the map, you simply set its _visible to true. 
If there isn't one, you create one and add it to the map.

This would be memory-intensive and not advisable for something that
has a large number of images.  But say if you have a fixed number of
images and they keep swapping in and out, you can do the math for how
much memory you'd need to keep them all loaded at once.

I haven't checked, but this might be true.  I know that Google sets an
Expires header of something like January 2006, but maybe it gets
stripped off along the way (the GIF->JPEG conversion proxy).

As an aside, check this out: http://www.xamlon.com/flash/demos/mapserver/

They're caching images on the server.
http://www.xamlon.com/flash/demos/mapserver/maps/map-4--3-11.jpeg
Unless you unselect the cache option, in which case they get fetch fresh images.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm Question.

2005-03-30 Thread Omar Ramos






Hi 
all,
 
I am using the 
Cairngorm plataform but had a small question. How can I use the viewhelper 
technique when I attach view dynamicaly? For example I have a mxml component and 
put a view helper attached to it and use this component on a repeater and 5 
instances are made. When I call the getViewHelper method which of those 5 
reference will it give me? Any help would be apreaciated.

[flexcoders] Re: Error: Cannot invoke method when using a VO



This is odd; all my POJOs have Object.registerClass (including the
ones that are used as types in others) but they also all have
_remoteClass specified when I debug (though I haven't set it). I
looked, and they all have regClass set to true, which I assume means
that the registerClass went through correctly. Somehow, from what it
sounds like you're saying, they aren't being mapped correctly to my
server side objects. This might explain why the Group I create on my
client side isnt serialized right...

I'm baffled.

Re: [flexcoders] Large Flex app architecture

2005-03-30 Thread Scott Barnes

I too am in the same boat and have thought / researched on this very
subject. I'm attacking my FLEX archiecture much in the same way i
would with a traditional web paged system. I've looked at Screen by
Screen approach where typically you active a screen for a task.

Example:

TravelAuthorization Request Form (Wizard Format) = Screen1
TravelAUthorization Admin Form = Screen 2
TravelAuthorization Summary / Report = Screen 3 

etc..

Now each of these screens have their own sub-screen lifecycle (ie much
like the FlexStore where checkout form replaces product pod and so
on). Anything that significantly breaks away from a  parent Screen
becomes a screen onto itself.

Once I formulated a pattern for this and broke my approach into screen
by screen, I am then going to use a destroy / create approach. I'm
hoping that my theory holds that Flash Garbage collection will free up
memory every time i destroy a screen, but this is a Intranet
Application so bandwidth isn't my top priority here (while i should be
mindful of it) - so I plan to use Run Time Shared Libraries but will
quite happilly kill an asset and move it to a download every bite
situation if need be.

I will use view stacks up until a point, and then i'll have my own
quasi view stack manager to attack the same problem.

Again, I am not finding much information on how FLEX Garbage
collection works and what key tricks i need to make sure are in place,
so the above may not hold water and won't know until I have it fully
tested and working but surely a destroy/create approach should work
and if it doesn't by god MM you better make it happen soon or
i'll...i'lll bah..i got nothing. hehe.

I posted on my blog on how I am attacking this screen by screen
approach, via this:

http://www.mossyblog.com/archives/434.cfm

Its a framework I am working on and its ripped off a few concepts from
Mach-II and Apache Cocoon.

[flexcoders] thoughts on effects

2005-03-30 Thread Dimitrios Gianninas


Hi,

I haven't used effects much in my first Flex project, only in two areas really:

- fade effect for tooltips
- sliding panel (hides/appears)

One area I think that we could use effects a bit more is with Validators. When 
you have a component that is attached to a Validator and the validation fails, 
right now, a red border simply appears around the component until the 
appropriate condition is satisfied. Perhaps this red border could blink, or 
pulse for a few seconds, that would really grab the user's attention. I've used 
my own app a few times and with so many items on the screen, sometimes only one 
Validator fails and it takes a few seconds to notice the red border, the 
blinking/pulsing would be more obvious.

I can see myself using the Fade effect even more if we had push capabilities 
available in Flex. This way, much like Outlook 2003 does, notifications could 
fade in/out based on data being updated.

How about a flash effect? Like making the background of a datagrid flash for a 
few seconds to grab the users attention to something? That might be interesting.

And like other people have mentioned, effects and graphs definitly help grab 
the attention of management... those things are cool and everyone wants to use 
something cool :)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Error: Cannot invoke method when using a VO


Without seeing the AMF trace on the server side, all I can do is suggest
simplifying the case step by step and then work up to the problem at
hand. Try a Group type that only has flash intrinsic types as
properties... then go down another level... etc.
