RE: [flexcoders] applications that forget variables

2005-05-13 Thread Mika Kiljunen










Sorry, Im really busy right now and
Ive spent way too much time on this one already. I cannot post you the
code that had this problem, since you cannot run it anyway without the backend.
But Ill try to write a piece of code to demonstrate the problem later after
I get through this busy schedule I have right now. (And of course then I cannot
reproduce it J )



But I had this problem earlier also
(see below) ..









Object deletion is just like in Java, we
garbage collect once there are no more references to the object. So if
the popup window has a reference to another model, deleting the popup window
does not delete the model, it only deletes the reference. Now if the
source object has also removed its reference, then you've now gotten rid of
both references and the object is gone.



I'd need to see more of an example to give
you a better sense of where things might be going wrong. From your other
posts it looks like you've gone down the route of creating copies which may be
fine but also may be masking your problem.



Matt

Subject: [flexcoders] Objects
disappear



Hi again J



I noticed some weird behaviour with
flex yesterday. Let's say I have a Model named myModel. myModel contains 'strings',
but is an object array (created from xml). Next I have a popup window that has
a model popModel. On creation popModel = myModel. Popup window binds strings
from popModel to fields and labels etc. Popup window has 2 buttons, one to
Cancel and one to DoOperation. If Cancel is pressed, popup window dies and gets
popped up again. Everything works nicely. If DoOperation is pressed, popup
window dies and operation is called (remote_object). Everything works nicely.



Now: If I press first Cancel and then
DoOperation AND DoOperation fails and popupwindow is displayed again ALL the
text on the labels are gone. Closer look with the debugger shows that also the
objects in the popModel that are binded on the popupwindow are gone
(=undefined). Even further, all the objects (strings) on myModel object that
are used with popupwindow are gone (all the other ones are there). Now this is
weird. I believe that this is caused by the fact that object arrays are passed
as a reference and popup window seems to destroy all the references in it when
it dies and so it destroys the original objects used by it on the original
object array (model). Is this correct and what would be a proper way to deal
with this kind of behaviour with the popup windows?

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] applications

Hi, you seem to be having the same problem
that I had earlier (on popup and binding ) and I faced it again yesterday. I
have an array on my main as file that contains Value objects.

I launch a popup window and the popup window
sets its internal variable like this iMyArray =
mx.core.Application.application.getArray();

Now this is used in a popup as a
dataprovider for a combobox. Also the popup has a binding on the combobox like
somevalue{myCombo.selectedItem.aValueField}/somevalue. 

These work nicely until I choose a value,
close the popup and relaunch the popup to edit some data that was setup
earlier. Now the aValueField in the ValueObject that is contained in the array
is undefined (destroyed by flex). ValueObject is otherwise ok, only the field
that was binded on the popup is undefined. 



I solved this by creating a copy of the
array in the popup and using that (so that it does not reference the array on
the main app - hence the original array will stay untouched). This way all
works fine, but its a real bummer that I have to make a copy of the
array (that is readonly!) so that flex wont destroy the original
arrays objects field.



I suspect, that the binding  a popup
seems to behave somewhat weird, because it really should not destroy the field
on the object of an array that is defined on the main app when the
popup/binding is destroyed.

[flexcoders] FAME with Flex ?

2005-05-13 Thread r0main
Hello,
I'm trying to get rid of the crappy FlexBuilder (Indeed it is a good
Graphical page editor, but obviously not an IDE), by using the FAME
(Flashout + AS2EditorPlugin + MTASC + Eclipse)...
Yet I have to configure MTASC classpath to use Macromedia core classes.
But don't know what that path should be with Flex... Any idea ?

Thanks a lot, r0main

Ok solved my problem by setting source first and delaying to set

My image is resizing now but the space that is not used by the image
is white, but it is displayed on a canvas with a backgroundImage. Zo
while dissolving white space is shown. I know I can set background

Hello Jeff,

Have you thought of using a View Stack with a Title

We switched to a simulating a popup via a Title Window /

[flexcoders] Flex Server Specification

Morning all,

Could anyone advise on the required (or recommended) server specs for
running Flex?  There'll be nothing else running on the box and we're
looking at a Linux server.  I get the feeling that the info here[1] is
over-simplifying things a bit...

Cheers,

Yeah I think that's the easiest, but it introduces a Canvas into the
heirarchy.  The next easiest it to simply create the icon as a child
of the Panel-derived class and place it directly at 0,0.  (It's not
0,0 strictly speaking, because you have to take the border and margins
into account.)  You also run into the issue that the icon covers part
of the text, so the perfect solution is to shift the title text a
little to the right.

 So it's pretty easy, though if thrustData isn't

[flexcoders] Development of components with AS

2005-05-13 Thread Erik Westra
Hello, some questions :)

1:
_measuredWidth
_measuredHeight
_measuredPreferredWidth
_measuredPreferredHeight
__width
__height
etc.

Is there anywhere a list of these kind of properties that can be used
with the development of a custom component in actionscript. I would be
interested in knowing wich properties are available and what effect they
have in the framework.


2:

MyCustomComponent
mx:TextArea /
/MyCustomComponent

The above piece of xml creates a child on the MyCustomComponent. Im
wondering what code is used to determine wich childs must be created. If
u extend container, either the container createChildren function or the
View container function takes care of this creation. But how does it
work?


3:

In (for instance) the accordion class the visibility of childs is
explicitly set with setVisible(false, true). This is not documented, but
an importend part of the framework. Im wondering how many of these (for
component development) usefull functions there exists.


4:

mx.effects.EffectManager
mx.core.UIObjectDescriptor
mx.container.Box;
mx.container.VBox;
mx.container.HBox;

These classes are not included in the FlexForFlash.zip file while they
can be valuable to the development of good UI components. Does any1 know
why?


5.

Does any1 know how a Box determines the size of its children? I mean
when u resize a child within a box, the positions of the other childs
(and sometimes their sizes) are recalculated. How does this process
exactly work.


6.

In the documentation of the V2 architecture I miss the overview. I see a
lot of examples of parts of the framework, but I don't see a list of
goals connected to the theory of its implementation. It seems in the
general documentation everything is ordered by feature and in component
creation documentation all simple features are included and minimaly
explained (think init, createChildren, measure, etc.). 

Im missing a structured view of how the framework is tied together. From
concepts all the way down to parts of implementation code in components.

some importend ones):

Re: [flexcoders] Internal popups

Example code ...

You would also be able to dynamically change the content, size,
poistion, etc of the popup. By passing a 'placement' value you can
decide whether it opens on the right or below.


?xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?
  mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" width="100%"
height="100%"
  mx:Script
  ![CDATA[
  function openPopup(placement)
{
   popupx.visible = true;
   if (placement == "right")
{
   popupx.y = caller.y;
   popupx.x =
caller.x+caller.width;
   }
   else {
   popupx.x = caller.x;
   popupx.y =
caller.y+caller.height;
   }
  }
  function closePopup(){
   popupx.visible = false;
  }
  
  ]]
  /mx:Script
  mx:Canvas id="mainCanvas"
width="100%" height="100%"
   mx:HBox id="main"
width="100%" height="100%"
mx:TextInput
id="caller" text="Mouseover to open Popup" width="250"

sent) to
work:

?xml

mx:Application

mx:Label text="hi there"/

/mx:TitleWindow

mx:Script

![CDATA[

function toggleVis(){

tw.visible = !tw.visible;

}

 ]]

/mx:Script
/mx:Application

But
I need the TitleWindow to behave not like a standard interface element
(one
that takes up space in the layout), but like a normal popup window, one
that
appears above the content at a specified location.

It
looks like using another MXML file is the way to go

 Is there an easy way to send email from a Flex application? 

Not yet. :)  You'll have to write some email-sending code on the server
side and call it from Flex.  Writing something like this is fairly easy
in Java (search Google for java mail).


It seems that this seems to work also (a bit)
mx.core.Application.getURL(mailto:...;);

Need to add a body though.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Server Specification

2005-05-13 Thread Tim Blair

 Could anyone advise on the required (or recommended) server 
 specs for running Flex?  There'll be nothing else running on 
 the box and we're looking at a Linux server.  I get the 
 feeling that the info here[1] is over-simplifying things a bit...
 
 [1] http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/productinfo/systemreqs/

Following up on this:

Macromedia specify that RedHat AS 2.1/3.0 must be used for Flex -- would
there be any problem installing it on ES 3.0?

Cheers,

Tim.

[flexcoders] media control question

2005-05-13 Thread cnewroth55
First what a great forumnow the question, I have a media control
to play my flv, but when i click on another 'button' to bring up a
different component in my app, the media controller continues to play
the flv file. I have tried in my AS code that controls my hide/show
functions and I get this error...
there is no property with the name 'playing'. 

and file doesn't even compile and run...

Live docs say that 'playing' is indeed a property of MediaPlayback,
(http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=part2_de.htm)
so why if I try to set that property to 'false' so that when it gets
'hidden' doesn't it shut off? 
the AS code is: (MediaPlayback is the ID of the component)

function triggerHideEffectMediaPlayback()
{
  // this triggers the hideEffect on MediaPlayback.
  MediaPlayback.visible = false;
  MediaPlayback.playing = false;
}
do I need to reference my controller via the componentID then the ID
of the controler in the component and then the property? ie
MediaPlayback.myMediaPlayBack.playing = 'false';

[flexcoders] Date formating application wide

2005-05-13 Thread joao_m_fernandes
Hi there,

Is there a way to set default values other than English formating so
each component uses it instead of setting formatters everywhere.

Example, If I have several DateFields and DateChoosers I want to be
able just to set in the main Application weekday names (or month
names) and those components use it as default.

If I set mx:DateField automaticly it should use my definitions of
dayNames and monthNames without setting it directly in the component.

Any Idea how I can achieve this?

Thanks,

João Fernandes

[flexcoders] Re: Setting percentage value by setValue: Solved

2005-05-13 Thread sreejithunni
I have an interesting observation and the solution to the problem ...

In the example posted below, I had the actual size of the image to be 
1 px x 20 px.

In normal circumstances, for eg 

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml; 
width=100% height=100%
mx:Image width=100% height=100% source=@Embed
('something.gif') /
/mx:Application

the image would stretch to 100% of the screen (application).

On the other hand, if I did the same in the cellRenderer, the 100% 
would actually mean 100% OF THE IMAGE SIZE - NOT THE CONTAINER.

So when, I was passing 98%, the value being set was 98% of 1px and 
that is .98px (why blame anybody!). Thats the reason it was not 
working.

My workaround is to create the image with atleast 100px width, so 
that even 1% would translate to 1px.

Huh!

RE: [flexcoders] Detecting Browsers codepage and lang

2005-05-13 Thread Abdul Qabiz
I can think of:

Flash Player ActionScript API:

System.capabilities.language:String


Usage:

mx:Script

var lang:String;

function detectLanguage()
{
lang = System.capabilities.language;
}

/mx:Script


Description:

Read-only property; indicates the language of the system on which the player
is running. This property is specified as a lowercase two-letter language
code from ISO 639-1. For Chinese, an additional uppercase two-letter country
code subtag from ISO 3166 distinguishes between Simplified and Traditional
Chinese. The languages themselves are named with the English tags. For
example, fr specifies French.

RE: [flexcoders] Date formating application wide

2005-05-13 Thread Dirk Eismann
Here's an example how to achieve this taken from a current project. First, the 
default formats are setup by using the mx.formatters.DateBase class. Then, they 
are applied to the DateChooser class (so it works with the DateChooser and the 
DateField class)

Beware, this technique uses the prototype property (AS 1.0 oop-style) of the 
DateChooser class which may not work in future versions of Flex.

You could also assign a default date formatting function by setting 
DateChooser.prototype.dateFormatter to a function that returns a formatted 
Srting.

  import mx.formatters.DateBase;
  import mx.controls.DateChooser;

  DateBase.defaultDayNamesLong = [Sonntag, Montag, Dienstag, Mittwoch, 
Donnerstag, Freitag, Sonnabend];
  DateBase.defaultDayNamesShort = [So, Mo, Di, Mi, Do, Fr, Sa];
  DateBase.defaultMonthNamesLong = [Januar, Februar, März, April, 
Mai, Juni, Juli, August, September, Oktober, November, 
Dezember];
  DateBase.defaultMonthNamesShort = [Jan, Feb, Mär, Apr, Mai, Jun, 
Jul, Aug, Sep, Okt, Nov, Dez];

  // assign the above to the DateChooser prototype
  DateChooser.prototype.monthNames = DateBase.defaultMonthNamesLong;
  DateChooser.prototype.dayNames = DateBase.defaultDayNamesShort;
  DateChooser.prototype.firstDayOfWeek = 1;

Dirk.

 I also notice, you are using id similar to MediaPlayback, choose a
different
 id for MediaPlayback component instance and refer the component
using that
 id. MediaPlayback is not a static class.
 
 function triggerHideEffectMediaPlayback()
 {
   MediaPlaybackInstance.visible = false;
   MediaPlaybackInstance.pause();
   //MediaPlaybackInstance.stop();
 }
 
 Look at following link for MediaPlayback API:

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/mx/controls/MediaPlayback.h
 tml
 
 
 
 Does that help..

 Subject: [flexcoders] media control question
 
 First what a great forumnow the question, I have a media control
 to play my flv, but when i click on another 'button' to bring up a
 different component in my app, the media controller continues to play
 the flv file. I have tried in my AS code that controls my hide/show
 functions and I get this error...
 there is no property with the name 'playing'. 
 
 and file doesn't even compile and run...
 
 Live docs say that 'playing' is indeed a property of MediaPlayback,

(http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/
 wwhelp.htm?href=part2_de.htm)
 so why if I try to set that property to 'false' so that when it gets
 'hidden' doesn't it shut off? 
 the AS code is: (MediaPlayback is the ID of the component)
 
 function triggerHideEffectMediaPlayback()
 {
   // this triggers the hideEffect on MediaPlayback.
   MediaPlayback.visible = false;
   MediaPlayback.playing = false;
 }
 do I need to reference my controller via the componentID then the ID
 of the controler in the component and then the property? ie
 MediaPlayback.myMediaPlayBack.playing = 'false';

RE: [flexcoders] Date formating application wide

2005-05-13 Thread Abdul Qabiz
You can achieve this, if it's not already there. You can subclass DateField
and DateChooser component and add this functionality.

Following is quick and dirty example to :


##ExtendedDateFieldExample.mxml##

mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
xmlns:local=*
  local:DateFieldEx /
/mx:Application


##DateFieldEx.as##

import mx.controls.DateField;

class DateFieldEx extends DateField
{
//default German month names...
private static var defaultMonthNames =
[Januar,Februar,März,April,Mai,Juni,Juli,August,September,
Oktober,November,Dezember]

public function init():Void
{
super.init();
monthNames = defaultMonthNames;
}
}




On similar lines you can think...

Hope that helps..

Hi there,

Is there a way to set default values other than English formating so
each component uses it instead of setting formatters everywhere.

Example, If I have several DateFields and DateChoosers I want to be
able just to set in the main Application weekday names (or month
names) and those components use it as default.

If I set mx:DateField automaticly it should use my definitions of
dayNames and monthNames without setting it directly in the component.

Any Idea how I can achieve this?

Thanks,

Hi,

Though this is the quickest possible way, but this kind of hacks might not
be supported in future, as Dirk also said.

But this indeed shows the power of prototype :)

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Date formating application wide

Here's an example how to achieve this taken from a current project. First,
the default formats are setup by using the mx.formatters.DateBase class.
Then, they are applied to the DateChooser class (so it works with the
DateChooser and the DateField class)

Beware, this technique uses the prototype property (AS 1.0 oop-style) of the
DateChooser class which may not work in future versions of Flex.

You could also assign a default date formatting function by setting
DateChooser.prototype.dateFormatter to a function that returns a formatted
Srting.

  import mx.formatters.DateBase;
  import mx.controls.DateChooser;

  DateBase.defaultDayNamesLong = [Sonntag, Montag, Dienstag,
Mittwoch, Donnerstag, Freitag, Sonnabend];
  DateBase.defaultDayNamesShort = [So, Mo, Di, Mi, Do, Fr,
Sa];
  DateBase.defaultMonthNamesLong = [Januar, Februar, März, April,
Mai, Juni, Juli, August, September, Oktober, November,
Dezember];
  DateBase.defaultMonthNamesShort = [Jan, Feb, Mär, Apr, Mai,
Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Okt, Nov, Dez];

  // assign the above to the DateChooser prototype
  DateChooser.prototype.monthNames = DateBase.defaultMonthNamesLong;
  DateChooser.prototype.dayNames = DateBase.defaultDayNamesShort;
  DateChooser.prototype.firstDayOfWeek = 1;

Dirk.

[flexcoders] Re: Charting Multiple Selections in dataGrid

2005-05-13 Thread Dave
Matt,

Here is the code for the LineSeries if hard-coded to chart one 
selectedItem at a time from the dataGrid:
mx:LineSeries name={Deposits.selectedItem.CATEGORY} 
xField=SCHEDDATE yField=TOTALBAL 
showDataEffect=drillDownEffect

*Deposits is the name of the dataGrid

When using this code, I attach the event 
change=webservice1.PulseGraphLoanByCategory.send() to the 
dataGrid. 

When trying to use the addSeries function, I remove that event 
handler and replace with change=addSeries() and place the call to 
the WS method in the addSeries script. That is one thing I'm not 
sure about. Here is the addSeries script:
function addSeries() {
webservice1.PulseGraphShareByCategory.send()
linechartDeposits.series.removeAll();
for (var i=0; iDeposits.selectedIndices.length; i++) { 
var ls=new LineSeries();
ls.yField=Deposits.selectedItems[i].TOTALBAL;
ls.xField=Deposits.selectedItems[i].SCHEDDATE;
ls.name=Deposits.selectedItems[i].CATEGORY;
linechartDeposits.series.addItem(ls);
}
}

ALSO - the name field comes back defined (in the dataTips) but the 
yField and xField are undefined. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nope, we have it installed internally on ES 3.0, and it works fine. As

Even if there will be other apps/instances, I'd keep it at 1 GB and

Makes sense.

Our internal box is a single Xeon processor at 3.0 GHz with 1 MB
cache, and it suits us just fine. I was tempted to go with an Opteron
processor, but since JRun doesn't support it (it will actually install
and run, but in 32-bit mode, which defeats the purpose of having a
64-bit processor!), I went with the 32-bit Xeon. That being said, we
are going to be looking into some new production servers, but I'm
waiting for the dual cores to mature a little bit. Since Macromedia's
licensing policy is based on the physical number of CPUs, I will be
able to essentially get two processors (and twice the processing
power) for the price of one, which is a substantial savings for my
company.

Hope this helps?

Rich,

Specify color="#00" in the MXML code ... either in the mx:Datagrid
or in the mx:DataGridColumn (if you want each column to be a different
color)
It should work ...

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Server Specification

2005-05-13 Thread Niklas Richardson
Hi Tim,

I would go for at least a dual CPU server as this will spread the load
of garbage collections in Jrun.  Also, it helps stop the OS and Jrun
fighting over CPU resources.

Are you going to be running CFMX on that box too or on a separate
machine?

If you are then I'd definitely stick two CPUs in there, and lots of
memory.  2GB seems like a good starting point.

Regards

Niklas

 Thanks Dave,
 
  Even if there will be other apps/instances, I'd keep it at 1 
  GB and simply add more RAM to the box (it's so cheap 
  nowadays, it's a no-brainer).
 
 We're actually going for 2Gb -- we will be adding separate 
 instances in
 the near future and it makes sense to go for this straight away.
 
 What CPU setup do you have/recommend?
 
 Tim.

[flexcoders] updating model.

2005-05-13 Thread Doodi, Hari - BLS CTR
Hi,
Is it possible to update the model declared using mx:Model tag as soon as
user changes a corresponding form element?
For example: I have a following model

mx:Model id=empModel
 empID/
 empName/
 empAddress/
 empCity/
 empState/
 empZipCode/
/mx:Model

I do have corresponding form elements like this for all the model
attributes.
mx:FormItem label=Address:
  mx:TextInput  id=address text={ empModel.empAddress}
width=120 height=20 change=dataChanged=true/
/mx:FormItem

Now what I am trying to do is save the changes made by the user by passing
the entire model instead of getting individual controls text attribute and
assign them to AS VO object. I am able to pass the model but found old
values instead of modified values. I want to update the model with new
values entered by the user and then send the model to the POJO. How to do
this - updating model with latest values from form elements text.

Thanks!
Hari

You're right ...
You can use a cellRenderer ... (tested this time :-)

// ColorRenderer.mxml
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
width="100%" xmlns="*"
mx:Script
![CDATA[
function setValue(str:String,obj:Object) {
theCell.text = str;
}

]]
/mx:Script
mx:Text color="#00" /
/mx:Canvas

In your datagrid column you can specify cellRenderer="ColorRenderer"

[flexcoders] Is there any way to override the initializing screen?

2005-05-13 Thread Rich
Apart from the nice US English Americanisation (:-), is there a way 
of replacing this with another component?

My scenario is this: while the app (a hotel resevation app) is 
loading, my client wants to use the space to promote special offers. 

Is this possible? The only thought I've had so far is maybe loading 
the Flex app into another swf - is this feasible?

[flexcoders] Re: Internal popups

2005-05-13 Thread David Gassner
Here's some sample code to get started...

The TitleWindow component should be defined as its own separate 
class; for instance, assume this file is named SimpleDialog.mxml:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml; 
width=400 height=400
  title=My Dialog Box
  !-- Display a simple Label control --
  mx:Label text=Welcome to my Dialog Box/
  mx:Label text=Try dragging me around the screen/
/mx:TitleWindow

To create a Popup Dialog from this class, use this Application code:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
!-- Simple application to demonstrate TitleWindow layout --
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
  backgroundColor=#FF

mx:Script
   ![CDATA[
   //Import required classes
import mx.containers.TitleWindow;
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
 
   //Declare dialog box reference variable global to application
var dialog:TitleWindow;
   
   //Open a dialog box
   function showWindow() {
 dialog=TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp( 
  this, SimpleDialog, false));
 dialog.centerPopUp();
 closeButton.enabled=true;
   }
 
   //Close a dialog box
   function closeWindow() {
 dialog.deletePopUp();
 closeButton.enabled=false;
   }
 
  ]]
/mx:Script

mx:Panel title=Simple Panel
  mx:Button id=openButton
label=Click to view dialog box click=showWindow();/
  mx:Button id=closeButton width={openButton.width}
label=Click to close dialog box click=closeWindow()
enabled=false/
/mx:Panel

/mx:Application

Schooner Technical Media

 The problem is that the TitleWindow in your example still takes up 
space
 in the application window.  I need it to behave like a normal 
popup.

 I'm not sure what you mean.  You can generally set the width of an UI
 object if you have a reference to it.
 
   uiObject.width = N;

Sample here... http://idealer1.com/menu.jpg

Notice we have a fixed width menu but we would like the drop down to
display the full contents, notice the fields being cut off.

You're looking for the dropdownWidth property of ComboBox.

[flexcoders] Custom Application Preloader Woes

2005-05-13 Thread JesterXL
Following the docs, ONLY putting my as file in my personal classpath works.

SWC in root, SWC in classpath, SWC in users_classes... none of it works.

However, AS file won't work on it's own since I'm using Flash for custom 
graphics.

I haven't changed my flex-config.xml to point anywhere; it's defaulting to 
the user_classes in tomcat / flex , etc.

Any pointers? Why would the AS file work but not the SWC?

[flexcoders] Synchronous Call

2005-05-13 Thread Shahnavaz Alware










Hi All,



I am using Cairngrom 0.9 Framework. I have the need to have
the ability of synchronous call to remote objects and methods in a particular
sequential flow. I read somewhere that Cairngrom 1.0 going to take care of this
synchronize resources issue. Till than if any of you guys have code
snippet or any documentation for me to handle this would be really helpful.



Thanks,



Shahn

[flexcoders] Re: MediaDisplay, can it be resized on the fly?

2005-05-13 Thread temporal_illusion
Lol, you ARE the man.

Now the question is how on earth did you know to do this? :)  It's 
not in the API and not in the Flex documentation.

And what is this really doing in the background?  Changing the 
preferred size I guess, but why does it obey that but not an explicit 
setting of the size using width and height?

 Call display.assignPreferredSize() after setting the width/height.

[flexcoders] editable datagrid

2005-05-13 Thread Rajesh Jayabalan
Hi,

 How do I send the information in an editable datagrid back to the
server (I am using a webservice to update and delete).

 I have only seen examples to make a datagrid editable but what should
I do save the edited information.

Regards
Rajesh J

The edited data is saved in the underlying data provider object for
the DataGrid.  You can send the data to the server for saving when the
user clicks the Save button.

I looked into the source. ;)  (Open your FlexforFlash.zip and looking
for MediaDisplay.as)

 And what is this really doing in the background?  Changing the
 preferred size I guess, but why does it obey that but not an explicit
 setting of the size using width and height?

It basically sets the video size to be equal to the preferred size of
the component.  Normally this was not working for some reason (can't
say exactly why without spending some time on this).
