[flexcoders] Question about the flex samples

[nostra72]

http://localhost:8700/samples/flexstore/flexstore.mxml?versionChecked=true
I have a question about this webpage and others in the samples folder. I hope this is not a silly quesiton but is it ok to use the sample files as a template to make other webpages? In other words alter the data to fit your needs is that ok?

[flexcoders] Re: Pass variable to mx:image tag

[cazzaran]

Matt,

I tried your suggestion, and something weird is happening...

In my code, I have (I also tried creating a variable):



At this point, I'm just hardcoding to test this. If I request my mxml
application with this Image tag in it, I can see that it makes the
correct request (GET /boxes.swf?line1=TESTLINE1), however, line1 in
the movie is undefined.

If I make the same exact request via a browser
(http://localhost:8080/boxes.swf?line1=TESTLINE1) line1 has the value
passed. 

It's like the Image tag is resetting all the variables I pass to my
movie to 'undefined'. Any idea? I can't think of any other way of
getting variables to my flash movies in Flex.

Thanks in advance! - Josh

RE: [flexcoders] Flash version detection, precompiled swf's and t he jsp tag.

[Abdul Qabiz]

That's I believe, History Management code in JavaScript.

As you have already gone through "Flash Player detection and deployment"
section of doc. If you use mxml file, Flex server generates HTML wrapper
with detection code, that is multi-step process like:

-  Users are initially directed to a SWF file that detects the Flash Player
version.
- If they have the specified version or later, the SWF file redirects the
user to your content fil, and your SWF file plays as designed.
- If users don't have the specified version, they're redirected to an
alternate location to download an updated Flash Player. This location is
specified in the flex-config.xml file. The actual location depends on the
type of player they are upgrading.


Ok, if you use Flex JSP tag or  and  tag to directly embed
precompiled swf or app.mxml.swf, above mentioned steps are not performed.
However, Object and Embed tag contains the url of Flash Player download page
and minimum version required. In that case, if user doesn't have required
version of Flash Player, user would be prompted to install Flash player from
Macromedia website.

The difference between two is, in former approach(with default html
wrapper), you can configure flex-config.xml to send user to different
location than Macromedia site, say to internal server for Flash Player
download. I believe, you can also specify fallback page which is shown user
doesn't have required version of Macromedia Flash Player.

Using MXML and JSP depends on requirement. JSP is used when you have other
content in same page. Use MXML when you know Flex app is the only thin in
the page. These optimization are client side, all detection is done
client-side.


Hope it helps..

[flexcoders] Using CFC's as RemoteObjects, naming, and flex-config.xml

[temporal_illusion]

Today we changed over to using our CFCs as Remote Objects so that the 
data was being passed via AMF and also so complex data types get 
passed.  Thanks to Tom Link btw for good info on how to get that 
started.

The problem I'm having though isn't in getting that to work, it's 
getting a named service / ro setup so that we don't have to have the 
URL in our code.

But how do I add it into the flex-config.xml?  

In my code my RemoteObject looks like this:
http://localhost:8300/ws/flashservices/gateway"; 
source="test">
 


But when I add it to the flex-config.xml there isn't a place to 
specify the different endpoint.  I tried adding an  tag, as 
well as adding an  tag to the  node but that 
doesn't seem to work.  I guess I could change the  tag 
for the whole  node but then I'd lose my ability to 
have Java remote objects.

Any insight?  Can I override the default AMF gateway for named remote 
objects defined in the flex-config.xml in that file, rather than 
overriding them in the mxml code?

Grid from XML will not be generated automatically, but you can write your
logic to parse XML and add GridRow/GridItem as required. No, DataGrid
doesn't support ColSpan type formatting, but can it be achieved by writing
custom row renderer?

Re: [flexcoders] Scale the size of a whole application

[Matthew Shirey]

Well, I've tried what you suggested:

Stage.scaleMode = "showAll".

But I get very strange results.  The application is scaling up,
but not as desired.  It's actually getting larger than the browser
window.  It's really wierd and hard to describe.  I get the
feeling that this use was never intended

If you have some suggestions on how to actually use this and get it to
work right, I'd be very interested.  Otherwise, I'll stay with my
scaling routines which are similar to what Manish suggested, only not
quite as elegant. ;)

  I believe Flex has it set to
"noScale", and thus uses the Flex containers to draw the change in size
rather than have the SWF scale.  Try that, see if it works for you.

Actually, I am working down a path that uses a canvas and dynamically
adjusts the ScaleX and ScaleY properties based on the size of the
application in the browser using the applications onResize event.  So
far, the effect is exactly what I'm looking for.  Even the fonts are
getting scaled correctly.  It works okay with non-embeded fonts but
I've found it works perfectly with embeded fonts.  My only concern now
is how well it will perform once the UI gets a bit more complicated.
  
If anyone else is interested, I can post my solution once I get it a

Setting to those just takes up the space, it doesn't actually scale the
content larger.  It resizes the layout managers larger which results in
a lot of unused white space for my application.  I need the contents to
scale so if you make the window twice as large, then all of the

This may sound like a odd request, but is there a way to scale the size
of a whole application so that all of the contents get larger?  The
functionality that I desire is similar to what happens to a Flash movie
when you make its size bigger.  I'd like to design an application at a
fixed resolution like 800x600.  If the user then makes the web browser
bigger, I'd like the contents to scale up in size.  Right now, with the
layout managers I basically just end up with more space.  A lot of it
is wasted empty space.  I have a specific user that is mildly vision
impaired.  He makes everything on his screen gigantic.  His monitor is
a nice 21" flat panel at 1600x1200 resolution.  I'd like him to be able
to maximize the application to 1600x1200 there by making everything in
the application which is designed at 800x600 scale up to that size.

Anyone have any suggestions?  I was a little long winded there, but I
hope I've accurately described my problem and the type of solution I'm
looking for.  Any other suggestions on how I can deal with visibility
impaired users would also be helpful.  Thank you!

I have an app that is built modularly with many sub-components
instantiated within my framework.

On the left is my tree menu and on the right is my ViewStack, where my
various sub-apps are instantiated. Both of these are within an Hbox,
which I have given the id "main". 

I create a custom context menu which I assign to "main" and this works
fine - it does not work fine, and in fact is completely ignored, when I
try to assign it to "this" which should be the Application. This
shouldn't be a problem in that my Hbox is 100% height and width and
should be covering the full available area, but I've noticed that there
is a small band at the very top of the app that it doesn't cover and
which has the default Flash context menu.

Anyone know why this band is showing up and how to get rid of it?  It
seems there is some padding being introduced - I just have to figure out
where it is coming from.

Also, anyone have strategies for custom context menus it apps that have
nested components? I'm hoping in Flash Player 8, we're able to control
context menus a bit more than we can currently in this sort of scenario.

Hi Tracy,


> Does this only apply if the url is external?  Do we get anything if we

No we don't get anything back if invoke JavaScript function using
getURL(..). But you can do something similar, as described below:

- call js function from flex app using getURL(..)
- in return js sets the return value in a variable in flex app.


> I have been building delimited strings to pass arguments up to the

I think, yeah its better way. You can also pass data as xml that can be
parsed in browser, but there is string length limitation in getURL(..), so
less verbose string would be efficient.


I am working on new version JSFCommunicator library(
http://www.abdulqabiz.com/files/JSFC/JSFCommunicator%20Library.htm ). Which
would work with Flex/Flash authored applications. I am thinking to many
things, some of them are:

- An easy and intuitive API to establish two-way connection between Flash
Player & JavaScript. Yeah, it would work with applications authored in Flash
IDE or Flex environment.

- Return values, if you call a JavaScript function from Flex you get the
return value immediately in flex or vice-versa.

- Making it work on most of the browsers and platforms. I will add
intelligent detection which would use JavaScript way or LocalConnection way
depending on browser or platform. I will try to keep things transparent to
library users by keeping interfaces common.


I am going to spend this weekend to make a list of To-Dos for JSFC, I will
appreciate if you can tell me what all you do with Flex/JavaScript, I might
be able to support in next version JSFC..

I hope, I can resolve this issue in JSFC...

Hi,

You can pass variable to external script using getURL(...), getURL(..)
sends
all variable declared in current scope. Infact getURL(..) sends all
variable
declared, that means it sends unwanted stuff also.

But I think, you can use LoadVars object for such kind of work. LoadVars
gives more control and looks more clean. I am not sure why you launching
external page and passing variable, but following example might help
you.

Subject: [flexcoders] passing variables using getURL?

I'm having problems figuring out how to pass variables using getURL. 
The documentation that I can find seems to indicate that any random
variable that you declare that's in some (unspecified) scope, will be
appended (for GET) or passed (for POST) as parameters along with the
URL. 

So I have tried setting some typed local variables and invoking
getURL; no luck.  No luck with either POST or GET.  

What's the magic?  Do the variables have to be in the top level
application?  Do they have to be global within the the containing
class?   Does this functionality even work at all?

RE: [flexcoders] passing variables using getURL?

[Matt Horn]

If I understand you correctly, then no, getURL does not pass all
variables if you make a call using the javascript: pseudo-protocol
syntax because it's not generating the same kind of request. 
 
---
Example 1. 

function reportEvent(e) {
var eType = e.type;
var eName = e.target.id;
var url = "javascript:catchClick('" + eName + "','" + eType +
"')";
getURL(url);
}

Here, getURL only passes the two variables to a specific JavaScript
function (in this case, catchClick()) in the wrapper because it's using
only javascript on the current page, so no request headers (read: no GET
or POST) are being set:

---
Example 2.

var url;
function google() {
url = "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="; + ta1.text;
getURL(url,"_blank","GET");
}

Here, getURL passes all of the root application's properties as well as
global variables (including the value of url) to the resulting page as a
GET request.

If you look at the request string, you'll see a lot of the app's
properties:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=fred&historyUrl=%2Fflex%2Fflex%2Din
ternal%3Faction%3Dhistory%5Fhtml&lconid=d357&liblist=&sizelist=&preloadO
bj=%5Bobject+Object%5D&width=undefined&height=undefined&nestLevel=0&focu
sManager=%5Flevel0%2EfocusManager&tabChildren=true&tabEnabled=false& ...
[snip]

---
Example 3.

function queryGoogle() {
var query = createEmptyMovieClip(null,0);
url = "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="; + ta1.text;
query.getURL(url,"_blank","GET");
}
 
Here, getURL only invokes the GET request with the raw url string. There
are no properties of the movieclip to add on since we create an empty
movieclip and invoke getURL off of that.

---

HTH,

Matt Horn

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex as a Windows Service?

[Tracy Spratt]

If you do install full JRun and set up the
app server as a service, do NOT use the Jrun admin application to start or stop
this server.  It seems obvious in retrospect, I guess, but you must use
the Windows services mmc app.

 

There is nothing to stop you from
attempting to stop/start a service based server using Admin, but it apparently
causes multiple versions of the server to run and certainly causes very strange
behavior.

The version of JRun included in the Flex
integrated install option does not provide this functionality.

It is for development only and as such has
been stripped down to the bare essentials.

The console provides easy access to server
output without having to look through logs while debugging issues, etc.

 

If you really need to run JRun as a service
then I suggest you download/install the trial version and deploy your flex
applications there.  You’ll notice that the full version recommends
running server instances as services for production and in the console for
development.  But of course everyone has there own preferences….

Re: [flexcoders] deserializing Maps with AMF (RemoteObject)

[Joe Berkovitz]

Peter,

You are right, the Map data is actually coming back intact; it is the 
debug console output that is omitting the data.  So there's no problem 
here except that the trace output is erroneous.

I'm not coercing anything to a String; the output you see is what one 
normally sees when running the Flash Player in debug mode with AMF 
logging enabled.  I rely on these printouts a lot for debugging.  I 
guess the AMF tracing code built into the player doesn't handle this 
case properly.

Thanks much for your assistance,

No.

You can change the timeout length from the default 15 seconds, though.

see : http://mxblogspace.journurl.com/index.cfm?fa=rd&m=1384

Your best option, though, is to let the server peform a long, complicated process, and not the client.

If you're filtering a lot of data, you can limit the result-set and give the user the option of paging results.

RE: [flexcoders] deserialization bug: constructor runs AFTER properties are populated

[Peter Farland]

Yep, it should be documented, sorry about that.

I can't find the post I was looking for but the short version is that
this deserialization order is by design (I want to reiterate that this
wasn't designed for Flex, it's a long standing Flash Player feature)
because you can't send constructor arguments in AMF instances. The
Player constructs a basic "shell" of the registered type, sets the
properties, then calls the real constructor. From the constructor you
initialize your object by making use of the preset properties (which
came from the server). 

The thing to watch out for is if your registered type has constructor
arguments:

public class MyType
{
public var p1:String;
public var p2:Object;

public function MyType(prop1:String, prop2:Object)
{
p1 = prop1; //Deserialization will override this to
undefined!
p2 = prop2; //Deserialization will override this to
undefined!
}
}

The above constructor is dangerous because it doesn't take into account
the player's deserialization order... it should be written like this:

public function MyType(prop1:String, prop2:Object)
{
if (prop1 !== undefined)
{
p1 = prop1;
p2 = prop2;
}
}

Also note that the current player doesn't take getter/setter functions
into account when serializing and deserializing objects... something we
obviously want to address in time for the next release of Flex.

Pete

Peter,

I am sure that it's not a bug if you say it's not, but it should be 
clearly documented since it runs counter to the expectations of typical 
OOP behavior.  I read the Flex docs on object conversion back and forth 
several times and I find no mention there.

It is very difficult and awkward to search the Yahoo Groups archives, 
but I did actually search my own copy of the mailings which goes back a 
few months to when I joined the mailing list.  I guess the discussion 
must have been prior to that point.

RE: [flexcoders] deserializing Maps with AMF (RemoteObject)

[Peter Farland]

Are you coercing the Array to a String (say, via simple concatenation)
in a trace()? Perhaps associative Array keys aren't shown when
"toString" in Flash... can you try a for in loop instead? Or as a quick
test do trace(result["key1"]).

The conversion of Map -> ECMA Array is a legacy behavior from Flash
Remoting that we should consider making configurable in the next release
of Flex as people would like to be able to do Map -> Object since it is
a more useful type (associative arrays doesn't behave much like an
Array) and allows you do use dot-syntax. Note that Map keys are
"toString"'ed too as per the requirements for AMF / AS2 types.

I can't for the life of me seem to pass a java.util.Map back from a

Re: [flexcoders] deserialization bug: constructor runs AFTER properties are populated

[dave buhler]

As a point of reference:

Many of us use GMail and create a FlexCoders label to store all list information.

Gmail is highly searchable, groups threads by Subject line, and with
2GB of storage, can store the List's threads for years to come.

I search my FlexCoders label before I post a question and many times, as an alternative to liveDocs.

Hi there,

I have an object declared on the top of my application and I have some

Even if in production it won't happen, for debugging in FB it's
impossible to go further. Is there a way do avoid this?

it's this simple:

Re: [flexcoders] deserialization bug: constructor runs AFTER properties are populated

[Joe Berkovitz]

Peter,

I am sure that it's not a bug if you say it's not, but it should be 
clearly documented since it runs counter to the expectations of typical 
OOP behavior.  I read the Flex docs on object conversion back and forth 
several times and I find no mention there.

It is very difficult and awkward to search the Yahoo Groups archives, 
but I did actually search my own copy of the mailings which goes back a 
few months to when I joined the mailing list.  I guess the discussion 
must have been prior to that point.

Actually, this is not a bug and is by design as per the Flash Player's

I just found to my surprise and chagrin that when a typed AMF object is 
deserialized on the client, the constructor for the object is run 
*after* the object's properties have been populated from the input

[flexcoders] deserializing Maps with AMF (RemoteObject)

[Joe Berkovitz]

I can't for the life of me seem to pass a java.util.Map back from a 
RemoteObject call.  The data comes back as an empty array object ([]) 
rather than as an untyped object.

Anyone encountered this problem?

I have tried return-typing the method as HashMap and Object as well, no 
dice in any case.

Here is my remote method that is being invoked:

 public Map test3()
 {
 HashMap map = new HashMap();
 map.put("key1", "val1");
 map.put("key2", "val2");
 return map;
 }


Server trace looks like this:

Ugggh.  _root -- bad.

in the example below, since its running in the

Abdul suggested,
mx.core.Application.application._url will work from any

[flexcoders] deserialization bug: constructor runs AFTER properties are populated

[Joe Berkovitz]

I just found to my surprise and chagrin that when a typed AMF object is 
deserialized on the client, the constructor for the object is run 
*after* the object's properties have been populated from the input 
stream.  So if one innocently thinks that a constructor ought to be able 
to initialize various properties of the new object, well, this 
initialization clobbers any deserialized values of those properties.

Macromedia support is entering this into their bug DB, but I thought 
this was worth alerting folks to.  Obviously there's an easy workaround, 
which is to not do any initialization in constructors (or, if you do, 
make sure that the properties actually are undefined before setting them).

.   ..  . ...j

P.S. note that this is totally different from a prior thread that 
concerned constructors with arguments.  That is unsafe because the args 
will be undefined at deserialization time.  Here the issue is the 
*timing* of the constructor call, not its argument values.

Re: [flexcoders] Help with node indentation after drag/drop

Hi Manish thanks for taking the time.  I got this code from an

[flexcoders] Eclipse setup for Cairngorm (and a huge thank you!)

[Hans Omli]

I was just about to post a question about the .classpath files included in the samples, and how you're working with the samples in Eclipse.  I have a question before I wait patiently for the whitepaper...
 
It appears you're not using Sysdeo's Eclipse Tomcat Launcher plugin.  If this is correct, I assume you are manually creating a Context path/workDir in Tomcat such as:
 

 
Are you manually restarting Tomcat after compiling in Eclipse, or do you use Ant or another method to built and restart Tomcat?
 
On another note, I think a HUGE THANK YOU is in order for all of the time and energy Steven, Alistair, and the rest of the folks at iteration::two have dedicated to helping the Flex community... both in answering so many questions via FlexCoders as well as the work on Cairngorm, FlexUnit, blog posting, white papers, presentation, and all of the sample code they contribute.  
Thank you all!!!  Developing with Flex wouldn't be the same without you!!!

You want to sort by the number of apples.

 apples.sortOn("Number");
 apples.sort().reverse(); // that was ascending

I'm pretty sure there's a way to directly sort descending, ...

[flexcoders] Context Menus in complex apps

[Battershall, Jeff]

I have an app that is built modularly with many sub-components
instantiated within my framework.

On the left is my tree menu and on the right is my ViewStack, where my
various sub-apps are instantiated. Both of these are within an Hbox,
which I have given the id "main". 

I create a custom context menu which I assign to "main" and this works
fine - it does not work fine, and in fact is completely ignored, when I
try to assign it to "this" which should be the Application. This
shouldn't be a problem in that my Hbox is 100% height and width and
should be covering the full available area, but I've noticed that there
is a small band at the very top of the app that it doesn't cover and
which has the default Flash context menu.

Anyone know why this band is showing up and how to get rid of it?  It
seems there is some padding being introduced - I just have to figure out
where it is coming from.

Also, anyone have strategies for custom context menus it apps that have
nested components? I'm hoping in Flash Player 8, we're able to control
context menus a bit more than we can currently in this sort of scenario.

[flexcoders] Trouble with mx:Image or mx:Loader

[cazzaran]

I have a flash banner that displays its content in the vertical 
middle. I have an application that is 800px wide, but the banner is, 
by default, only around 600px wide. My tag looks like:



If I specify the width attribute of the Image tag, the flash movie 
doesn't scale with it. 

Usually, the way I get this banner to work in html is to pass a 
scale=noborder attribute to the embed tag and it takes up as wide as 
the container (div for example) that the embed is contained in. How 
to I do this in Flex? Also, I need the vertical middle of the movie 
to show, not the top section that I specify. I tried using 
hPosition, but to no avail.

Any help is appreciated!

RE: [flexcoders] Default Chart Colors

[Ely Greenfield]

> By extrapolation, would PieSeries also accept an array of gradients
intead of an array of hex values? 

Yes. The fill property of most series, and the fills property of the
pieSeries, take Fill objects. Which means any of them can take solid fills,
solid fills with alpha, linear gradients, and radial gradients. The same is
true for the pointFill property of line series and area series, the fill
property of the charts (which specifies the background color), and the
various *fill properties of the GridLines class.

>And is there a way to represent this in css?  

Unfortunately, no, that's a limitation of CSS.  We're considering whether
and how to address this in the next release of flex, but for the meantime,
you can:

- specify the styles inline on the item in MXML
- set the values on the CSSStyleDeclaration for PieSeries at initialization
through actionscript
- write a subclass of PieSeries that sets its fill style in its constructor,
and use that instead
- write a custom MXML component that allows you to specify CSS data using 
MXML.

Let me explain that last one a bit.  A while back I wrote up a little
actionscript class that allowed me to specify CSS properties using MXML.
I've included it at the bottom of this email, for your enjoyment and/or use.
But a small caveat -- when you specify styles via CSS, the compiler is able
to optimize assigning the styles a little bit better than this class can. So
using this class might have an effect on your startup time.  You'll have to
try it out yourself, and decided if the benefits outweigh the cost.


> Also would it be possible to alter the styleName property of a
PieSeries at runtime?


Yes, absolutely. PieChart.series[0].styleName = "...";

In my earlier response, I fibbed a little bit.  I said that the chart object
assigns the styleName of each series on the fly. In truth, it's not actually
assigning the styleName -- it's really assigning a different internal
property of the series, that inserts style properties into the style chain
at a slightly lower priority than the styleName property does. What does
this mean? Well, if you assign the styleName property, you'll override any
style properties you want to override, without accidentally blowing away the
ones you want to keep the same.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex as a Windows Service?

[Peter Watson]

The version of JRun included in the Flex
integrated install option does not provide this functionality.

It is for development only and as such has
been stripped down to the bare essentials.

The console provides easy access to server
output without having to look through logs while debugging issues, etc.

 

If you really need to run JRun as a
service then I suggest you download/install the trial version and deploy your
flex applications there.  You’ll notice that the full version
recommends running server instances as services for production and in the
console for development.  But of course everyone has there own preferences….

http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=jrun

 

 

Also, please put in a feature request if
you feel option should be available.

Re: [flexcoders] Scale the size of a whole application

[JesterXL]

There is an issue with certain stage scaling and 
Stage.onResize; eventually, it'll get off kilter.  That's why you can 
ensure it works fine by setting to noScale, and then letting Flash scale it via 
drawing.
 
If your dealing with zooming, and scaling... it's a 
dangerous mix to depend on, hence Flex taking the path it did.  You should 
at least hide the context menu if you can.

  ...this sounds like turning stage scaling

  Stage.scaleMode = "showAll".
   
  I believe Flex has it set to "noScale", and thus 
  uses the Flex containers to draw the change in size rather than have the SWF 
  scale.  Try that, see if it works for you.

  Actually, I am working down a path that uses a canvas and

  far, the effect is exactly what I'm looking for.  Even the fonts are

Subject: [flexcoders] Scale the size of a whole

This may sound like a odd request, but is there a way to 
scale the size of a whole application so that all of the contents get 
larger?  The functionality that I desire is similar to what happens 
to a Flash movie when you make its size bigger.  I'd like to design 
an application at a fixed resolution like 800x600.  If the user 
then makes the web browser bigger, I'd like the contents to scale up in 
size.  Right now, with the layout managers I basically just end up 
with more space.  A lot of it is wasted empty space.  I have a 
specific user that is mildly vision impaired.  He makes everything 
on his screen gigantic.  His monitor is a nice 21" flat panel at 
1600x1200 resolution.  I'd like him to be able to maximize the 
application to 1600x1200 there by making everything in the application 
which is designed at 800x600 scale up to that size.Anyone have 
any suggestions?  I was a little long winded there, but I hope I've 
accurately described my problem and the type of solution I'm looking 
for.  Any other suggestions on how I can deal with visibility 
impaired users would also be helpful.  Thank you!--

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex on the Web

[Jonathan Bezuidenhout]

I can attest to this.

Our app has been developent for well over a year, and in production
for about 10 months, yet no-one on the outisde has ever seen it. 
Large companies have all kinds of business/competitive reasons for
releasing (or not as in our case) stuff to the outside world.

Also I can tell you that in our case, a typical (short) release cycle
lasts about 3 months, at least two of which is spent testing and about
3 weeks for development.  We connect to so many complex back-end
systems that testing is very difficult.  We have had about 4 releases
with Flex.

I think at any time we probably have 4 different environments with
stuff on the go at different stages and versions with development,
testing, staging, production.  Everything is spread out over several
different geographical regions.  Load balancers, hardware encryption
and tunneling, clusters for all of those.  So obviously we have more
than one Flex license ;)

Freqequent changes in requirements is where Flex really shines.  We
can make major changes on the Flex side in hours/days, whereas the
guys doing back-end systems often take days/weeks to do the equivalent
thing or whatever is needed to keep up with us.

Oops - I think I am beginning to sound like a salesman, but I thought
I would give a little view into my world.

RE: [flexcoders] Default Chart Colors

[Battershall, Jeff]

Ely,

By extrapolation, would PieSeries also accept an array of gradients
intead of an array of hex values? And is there a way to represent this
in css?  Also would it be possible to alter the styleName property of a
PieSeries at runtime?

Hi Dave.  The answer is a teeny bit complex.

Each Series (except the pieSeries) has a style property called 'fill'
that it pulls its fill from.  So what you're wondering is: how do I
specify the fill style for each series that appears in my chart?

Each chart type, when it displays its series, assigns a CSS style
selector to each series. In order to guarantee that each series gets a
different fill, it assigns a different selector to each series, by
index. 

The names of the selectors the chart assigns are, in turn, specified in
a style property of the chart, called chartSeriesStyles.

So if you want to specify the fills to be used by ColumnCharts, you
could do it like this:



.customColumnSeries1 {
fill: #FF;
}
.customColumnSeries2 {
fill: #00FF00;
}
.customColumnSeries3 {
fill: #FF;
}

ColumnChart { 
chartSeriesStyles: customColumnSeries1,
customColumnSeries2, customColumnSeries3;
}


PieCharts work a little differently. Since each pie series needs more
that one fill (one for each wedge), the pieSeries draw its fills from a
property called fills. You can specify this in CSS as well:



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


Now there's a little bit of handwaving going on here.  The reason is,
the fill properties of the charts aren't really rgb hex values, they are
fill objects. We made them fill objects so that you could fill a chart
with other fill types -- gradients, etc.  

However, CSS doesn't support a syntax for specifying an object.  Which
means there's really no way to specify a Fill object -- SolidColor,
LinearGradient, etc. -- in CSS.  If you want to specify a complex fill
type, you need to either do it on a per-component basis, or set the
style through actionscript.

But, since there _is_ a way to specify simple color values in CSS, and
that's what most designers typically want to do, we provided a shortcut.
When the charts render themselves, if they find a simple RGB value in
their fill or fills properties, they'll convert them to a SolidColor on
the fly. Hence, the above CSS markup will work.

Ely.

As charts are added, the Legend and the Chart itself follow a pattern

Where is that defined? I need to change site wide.

[flexcoders] Compiling a set of classes

[Erik Westra]

We are planning a large application. This application uses a framework
we developed. Different developers will be creating components wich will
function only within this framework. In order to let developers work on
their own module while not bothering others in their testing. We want to
be able to load different libraries at runtime.

The ways to do this are allrdy completed.

The problem here is how to compile an as file like this:

class commonDialogs
{
public function commonDialogs()
{
fly.TAP.commonDialogs.Alert;
fly.TAP.commonDialogs.Login;
fly.TAP.commonDialogs.Waiting;
fly.TAP.commonDialogs.Preloader;
fly.TAP.commonDialogs.Prompt;
};
};

fly.TAP.commonDialogs.Login for example extends LoginVisual, wich is an
mxml file laying out the visual parts of this window extending
titlewindow.

I want to compile these classes into a swf. However I don't want to
include the basic flex classes (think of UIObject, TitleWindow,
Container, etc.). Does any1 know a way of compiling classes while
defining wich classes to leave out?


I hope my problem is clear, if not, just say so :)

Setting the scaleMode (?) property on the SWF may be the best option,
but here's another technique to do it if you want to experiment:


http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
  xmlns="*" width="100%" height="100%" resize="sizeChanged = true">
  
private var sizeChanged:Boolean = true;
public function layoutChildren():Void
{
  super.layoutChildren();

  if (sizeChanged)
  {
var vm:Object = getViewMetricsAndMargins();
var w:Number = layoutWidth - vm.left - vm.right;
var h:Number = layoutHeight - vm.top - vm.bottom;

mainBox.scaleX = w / mainBox.layoutWidth * 100;
mainBox.scaleY = h / mainBox.layoutHeight * 100;

sizeChanged = false;
  }
}
  
  

  
  


  


Note:

 1.  put your whole app into a Box and call it mainBox
 2.  in layoutChildren() you set the scaleX and scaleY properties of
the application
 3.  update the sizeChanged flag in the resize event handler

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex on the Web

[David Mendels]

Hi,

It is worth noting as well just the simple fact of timing.  

There were 300+ Flex customers in the past year.  You can safely assume
that involved a ramp of over the course of the year so many of those are
in the latter part of the year.  It takes time to build an application.
Some folks are doing small projects and delivering Flex apps in 2-6
months.  But many more are longer term projects.  I am aware of many
Flex customers with development teams that have a 6-18 month development
and testing cycle for large and complex applications.  In the Flash MX
2004 authoring world that would be rare---most projects are boutique
projects with small teams and short cycles, but in the enterprise
application world that is quite normal.

David

There is a small tool called firedeamon which makes it possible to run 
all programs as a service, i use it self to run some gameservers as 
service and it works very well.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex as a Windows Service?

[Allen Manning]

Hello Richard,
 
We use JRUN as our J2EE Server and we startup and run Flex 
via the JMC or as a Windows service.  To add a server as a windows service 
in JRUN we use the jrunsvc tool.
 
From the JRUN Live docs (http://livedocs.macromedia.com/jrun/4/JRun_SDK_Guide/apis4.htm):
 
Using the jrunsvc tool 
Use the jrunsvc tool to execute command on a 
JRun server that is a Windows service. With this tool, you can install, remove, 
start, and stop the JRun server's Windows service. 
To install a JRun server as a Windows service, 
use the following syntax from the jrun_root/bin directory: 
%> jrunsvc -install jrun_server [service_name [service_display_name [service_description]]]

To remove, start or stop a JRun server that is 
currently a Windows service, use the following syntax from the jrun_root/bin 
directory: 
%> jrunsvc -[remove|start|stop service_name]

 
Hope this helps,
Allen

Flex itself isn't a server.  It's just a j2ee web 
application.  You're likely running tomcat. If so, you can definitely 
configure tomcat to run as a service.

Hi,

If you really want to launch different browser and send data to it...

Then you can use LoadVars also...

{

   var form_lv = new LoadVars();
   form_lv.username = "";
   form_lv.password = "";
   form_lv.send("theURL","_self","POST");

RE: [flexcoders] Alberto Albericio Salvador ... here's your answer

[Steven Webster]

Alberto,

> simple flex application using primalscript (or any other 
> environment) and Cairngorm. 

"Writing a simple flex application with Primalscript and Cairngorm"
isn't a whitepaper we've got planned for in the near future I'm
afraid ... I'd hope that a combination of the book that we've put
out, the installation guide for Cairngorm, the Release notes for
Cairngorm, and all the AS2Doc (you've found the AS2Doc, right ?)
for the framework, will give enough material for you to try and
get started.

Seriously ... we've done an *awful* lot of the legwork, but really
the only way you're going to understand this is to get elbow 
deep in the code and learn to understand it ... the lesson is
in the getting things working for yourself at that stage.

We do have another whitepaper that is being written at present,
that will explain how to setup both Flexbuilder and Eclipse 
with Cairngorm, to start a project with Cairngorm from scratch.

However, it may be weeks, it may be months before that
whitepaper is available ... I'm not willing to commit at this
stage, as we've already devoted a significant amount of time
to pulling together what you see in the 0.99 release.

> After this, I think I will be able to understand the 
> cairngorm store application flow.

Cairngorm is built upon well-documented design patterns, of
which there is a LOT of material in the public domain, including
the free chapter download at http://flexbook.iterationtwo.com/

There are Breeze presentations that I've posted in the last
few days that further explain the movitations and implemenations
of the design patterns, and there's the AS2Doc that ships with
Cairngorm itself.

Starting sometime next week, Alex Uhlmann and myself will
start to slowly blog on Cairngorm Store and it's implementation,
but this material will be serialised over time.

I think everything is there that you need to pick up the 
pieces and start to learn this for yourself.

If you have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to
ask.

Best wishes,

Steven

[flexcoders] Re: how can i stop my date-time timezone data from b eing adjusted

[bhaq1972]

Thanks once again Matt. always a helping hand. Your code worked. It 
adjusted the date value. Do you have any recommendation how i would 
apply this code before binding to a datagrid. My result handlers 
after an async call usually look like this

function resultHandler(result){
  datagrid1.dataProvider = result;
}

i suppose i'd have to do a 'for' loop around the resultset, adjust 
the value and then bind.
any other ideas

[flexcoders] Steven Webster, I need help with Cairgorm

[Alberto Albericio Salvador]

Hi again Steven,

After reading some more about frameworks and related stuff after my last 
post on "What Cairngorm is?", I want to start developing using 
Cairngorm. I've been reading about synergyflex, which seems to be 
something similar to Cairngorm, but I get the feeling you are more about 
to help me starting with all this :)

So I basically need a step-by-step tutorial on how to code a simple flex 
application using primalscript (or any other environment) and Cairngorm. 
After this, I think I will be able to understand the cairngorm store 
application flow.

Thanks in advance

R: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm 0.99

[Paolo Bernardinin]

Thanks Steven for
clarifyng the reason for the new controller sintax, for what concern migrating
from 0.95 to 0.99 it wasn’t to hard just had to rename the pasckage name
for the swc to org.nevis.cairngorm
, than I had to change
the property ‘name’ in ‘id’ and remove ‘view = {this}’
 in the viewHelpers files, and the application worked as before.

Oggetto: RE: [flexcoders] Re:
Cairngorm 0.99



 

Hi Dave,

 




 I ran into the same errors as reuben and Sean
 above with the exact same errors. 
 I have never heard of ANT until today. I'm a
 client-side developer. Just like Berardini. Server configuration is
 foreign to me. Lead my people to the Red Sea of Server Configuration. Help
 us cross. I think most AS 2.0/OOP developers understand and love working
 within the framework, but have a hard time getting over the hurdle of
 setting up the server and server files.
 A clean install from the bare-bones
 helped.   






So first of all, I think it's great that
"client-side developers" are so willing to get the Cairngorm samples





up and running; and I do think that you're
going to get a rapid climb up the ramp by getting this sample





running and understanding how it
all works on both sides of the wire.





 





However, our remit in producing the
"Cairngorm Store" was not to provide a tutorial
in Flex/J2EE application





development, but to provide those
Flex/J2EE developers who are trying to understand how Cairngorm





fits in with what they do, a more
comprehensive sample application than the simple Login example we





provided with 0.95.  We wanted to
ship an app that incorporated a Flex presentation-tier built using





Cairngorm, that invokes a Java business
tier with a database back-end.  The Java and database backend





are in no-way intended to be best-practice
code (so don't go trying to build production Flex shops 





using that code !) but our assumption is
that J2EE folks are going to understand where to go from





this sample.





 





Don't get me wrong; we'll help you guys
all we can to get this application running, and we do intend





blogging a bit more of a
"getting started", but if a hurdle exists in configuring a J2EE
application





server, installing a database for
Java to call, working with Flex server configuration, etc, then the 





remit of Cairngorm Store isn't to make
that easier for you ... there's plenty of better resources out 





there.  Fundamental assumption for
Cairngorm, is that a developer is comortable developing and





configuring Flex applications on a
Flex/J2EE server.





 





Please take this in the spirit it's
intended  our aim with Cairngorm is to provide the framework and





the examples that merit leveraging the
framework; the base assumption is that you are developing





all tiers of an n-tier application, that
you're comfortable developing apps of the complexity that really





start to merit a microarchitecture like
Cairngorm.





 





The great thing about open-source
frameworks like this though, is community participation ... so if





I hear you correctly that there's a need
for a "Installing the Cairngorm Store for Client-Side





Developers" whitepaper, then I'd be
delighted for you to volunteer to write it :-) 






 I agree with hecubus that the release notes
 should state that .99 isn't compatible with .95. We're probably 5 projects
 into Cairngorm .95, and I think we had anticipated a seamless upgrade.
  






I'm not quite sure what you mean by incompatibility; the
only change we're asking you to make -





and we thought long and hard about this
one - is renaming the com.iterationtwo.cairngorm





packages to org.nevis.cairngorm. 
That's something that is a global search and replace





operation on your source code, and is the
*only* thing you have to do to migrate from





0.95 to 0.99





 





If you then drop the org.nevis.cairngorm.*
packages in the same place you had 





com.iterationtwo.cairngorm.* then you
should be back where you started.





 





If, however, you want to benefit by using
cairngorm.swc (so you can keep the Cairngorm





source out of your project source) then
you're going to have to do a little extra work -





adding the manifest entry to
flex-config.xml.  That's all ... nothing more.





 





However, in terms of compatibility;
there's nothing that we've changed in the API that





will break anything you're doing currently
... that was a huge motivation for the





decisions we made in 0.99, NOT to break
existing functionality.

Hi,

IMHO,

No, Flex is not only used for intranets but also for internet apps. But
these applications are either private or not publicly available. It is like
any other large applications, where you need an access to see those apps.

Not every company advertises about their applications...

I feel, Flex is for applications not for web pages or websites. But as
already been mentioned in this thread, you can still see some public flex
apps. I hope, you would see more.

If this is true... Where are all the applications? Is Flex only used for 
Intranet purposes??

I can pretty much certainly state that there have been a *great*
deal more than 200 licenses sold to date, perhaps 200 customers
was cited, but a single customer might purchase anywhere from
10s or 100s of licenses in many instances.  And I've only got 
visibility of a small proportion of the Flex business that is
being done...

I know folks get upset at the cost of a single license, but 
there are typical customers out there that gain business value
from these order of magnitude greater license deals.

99.89% of statistics can be manipulated any way you want to.

Best,

Steven

happen the way you want.


OTHERWISE:
It's in the export settings and the Stage objectcheck it out.

Perfect.
Just what I needed.

Generally you specify a 
full URL as the rootURL (perhaps the path to your SWF which is 
Application.application._url).  Say for example http://www.somewhere.com/dir/file.swf.
The urls would be 
computed as follows:
 
sub/bar.swf : http://www.somewhere.com/dir/sub/bar.swf
/sub/bar.swf: http://www.somewhere.com/sub/bar.swf
http://elsewhere.com/bar.swf: http://elsewhere.com/bar.swf
 
Make 
sense?

Joren,
 
According to the MXML 
API docs:

getFullURLstatic  
getFullURL( rootURL: String, url: String) :  
String 

 

' Converts a 
potentially relative URL to a full qualified URL. If the URL is not relative, it 
is just returned as is. If the URL starts with a slash, the host and port from 
the root URL are prepended. Otherwise, the host, port, and path are prepended.

Ugggh.  _root -- bad.in the example below, since its running in the core 
application tag, you can just 
remove the word _root entirely, and it will still work,  or, as 
Abdul suggested, 
mx.core.Application.application._url will work from any
