Hi Rajesh,

id should be string following rules for a variable name(should not start
with numbers, should not contain some special chars except $ etc). You
can not pass a binding expression there. 

Why do you want to assign a dynamic id? Since you are using repeater to
generate ViewStack, you know the order of ViewStacks and you can always
refer by their index?

Hi,

when I try to use the value from repeator for a viewstack id I get a 
 
"id '{rp.currentItem.mrcName}' is not a valid identifier" error.
 
I am trying to create viewstack with dynamic ids and pass the id to a
function. Here is my code.

RE: [flexcoders] How do I bound XML data into an array that is my data provider for a data grid

Hi,

Look at the following code:



##employeesModelTest.mxml##

http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; xmlns="*"
initialize="onAppInit()">

import ComboBoxCellRenderer;

function onAppInit()
{
ComboBoxCellRenderer.dataProvider = ["San Francisco",
"Bangalore","Newton"];
 }


















##ComboBoxCellRenderer.mxml##

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

public static var dataProvider:Array;
private var listOwner:Object;

//TODO: all required code to make this renderer complete.








##employees.xml##

That is how you bind a Model with DataGrid. As far as ComboBox's
dataProvider is concerned, you can have static property in CellRenderer
class. Set the static property from the application.

I'll try to beat Nihit to this (although he's
clearly "da man" when it
comes to printing).  Basically the parent of
the Loader, the Box, has
a mask that is used for clipping the content (as
the content won't fit
within the bounds).  In the sample code, this
mask is being removed
temporarily before printing and then added back
once it's done.  The
removeMask, createMask and resizeMask functions
are internal to the
Container class.  They are not documented, as
they are not meant to be
a part of the public API.

[flexcoders] Added image/s in TileList is/are not shown

I tried searching for the answer everywhere (including The Mail Archive) but no 
success. 
Basically I want to add 1 or more images to a tilelist from another tilelist in 
a popup. Both 
tilelists are populated with correct images based on the XML file. I use 
addItemAt and it 
seems to do something, but it just adds blank tiles... What am I missing here?

Hi,
 
Yeah you can. If it is progressive flv download, then as 
soon as some video is buffered you can play it.
 
If you are using flashcom, then it would be pure streaming 
and you can play...
 
I think, you can set the buffer time 
using:
 
NetStream.setBufferTime(..)

[flexcoders] Flex and Remoting?

2005-07-07 Thread chris.alvarado

Hello again everyone =)

So, ive been playing around with some of the Flex examples and
building little test widgets today and i must say im really liking
what im seeing.

to recap, i have a large app built using Flash, ColdFusion and MS SQL
and im strongly considering recommending that we rearchitect it in
Flex.

at the moment the application retrieves data from the database via
remoting. is remoting still viable for Flex applications or am i
better off creating web services?

if Remoting is still the preferred solution, can anyone point me at
some good write-ups on Data Integration with Flex using Remoting?

Thanks everyone!

RE: [flexcoders] Flex and Remoting?

Flash Remoting in Flex is known as RemoteObject. And it is still a
better solution...

Flex server comes with built-in remoting gateway, so every things is
seemlessly integrated. And it is very easy to use RemoteObject in Flex
as compared to Flash...

You can search the macromedia website, flexcoders archives for all
RemoteObject/Remoting related articles and discussions...

I am sure there are some articles on Macromedia website regarding
RemoteObject...

[flexcoders] Re: Dynamically add an MXML to a Panel

2005-07-07 Thread cazzaran

You gathered correct. Unfortunately, what I was trying to do was a
sort of "runtime load" of an MXML component, which, in retrospect, I
should have known wasn't possible.

I tried what you said verbatim, and it didn't work. However, I got the
jist of what you were saying; what I did was to simply assign an xmlns
to where my custom Panel innards are, and then load them all with a
long list of tags, each with the name of the MXML file, and an id to
match. The import isn't enough apparently, I need to actually
instatiate them.

Then, using your eval(resource) -- something I MUST thank you for, I
would have lost a lot of time on that one -- I link the ComboBox
selection to the component's id.

It's ugly, and I can see it making my app huge (potentially, anyway)
but there isn't much choice otherwise. 

As always, my humble thanks for all the help, everyone. This group is
literally priceless.

Hi Ted,

 

I’m sure everyone on this list is
interested in seeing Flex implementations, so please do let us know when you’ve
got something to show us.

 

Cheers,

Abdul, 

 

I have not been busier. Flex/Flash
application use is growing big time. 

 

I will be very interested to see Flexcoder
reaction to our new product. If noone objects(?),  I would like love to
announce the product Beta on Flexcoders. 

 

I am not sure what the Flexcoder list
policy is regarding product/beta announcements?

 

More to come!

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex

Actually I am working on one right now for
my new company. I am using XMLSocket to connect to a locally running server
combined with data pulled from remote webservices. It is very easy to integrate
just about any feature you need as the local server can provide file system
access and provides seamless read/write into the application.

 

FLEXSWF <> HTTP <> LocalServer

FLEXSWF <> XMLSocket <>
LocalServer

FLEXSWF <> WS <> RemoteServer

 

I shipped a custom XMLSocket server last
month for a Kiosk installation for Flash integration. The server provided media
conversion for SWF display, PNG/JPG/GIF/AnimatedGIF/WMA/RM all running through
a Flash UI. Additionally we integrated with an MSR (CC Reader) on the IBM
AnyPlace Kiosk which pushed the CC value into Flash as an event.

 

The other option is diving into Central.
Using FileReference and FileReferenceList, you can read, write, upload download
files as needed. 

 

All are good options but it depends on
what you need. Having been down the kiosk path as recently as last week, using
a custom XMLSocket/HTTP server is a very solid solution although I think I
stand alone in this effort.

 

Actually if all goes well my new company
will have a public beta of a FlexUI & Custom Server for download within a
weeks time. :)

 

Ted ;)

Hello list,





 





I know Flex excels at communicating with server-side data

Is there any way for a flex app to communicate with a

RE: [flexcoders] CheckBox in the DataGrid

Hi,

You can achieve this by just updating dataProvider and if design of
yourCellRenderer in such a way that if dataProvider changes CellRenderer
is updated.

Say you have a field in dataProvider, which is bound with checkbox's
selected property. If you change the dataProvider, CheckBoxes get
updated.

Re: [flexcoders] Added image/s in TileList is/are not shown

2005-07-07 Thread Scott Barnes

sorry your message was truncated, could you followup with the code?

you can't move one movieclip (ie image) from containerA to containerB,
sadly DuplicateMovieClip only allows you to duplicate a movieclip onto
the same level as its original source (btw FLASH 8 wishlist feature).

The only way is to re-create that same image again in another
container, via methods like createChild(function,instanceName,initObj)
(function = class path ... ie mx.controls.Button)

That's for sure, as i can just see the Director of Finance @ my work

Never thought it was possible, so i'm very keen to see "how".

No, you wouldn't be the first and will not be the last. I remember
thinkng along the same lines (ie i thought that was what FLEX major
power feature was, much like Flash Communication Server where it stays
connected to the server and simply *grows* the SWF...ahh but to
dream).

Sort of, i'm not sure it actually needs instantiation. An example was
when i made SynergyFLEX, i include an XML file via mx:XML. Inside that
XML file i place basically references to various classes..

eg:

That's all that was needed in order for the compiler to include that
class as part of the overall SWF, so when the time came (which was
much later in the application workflow) i would only *then*
instantiate it via the createChild().

I thought i was pretty tricky finding that one, and if others knew
about it already ...thankyou for sharing it! heh...*grumble*

Note: I put the mx:XML file in mx:Application container. In truth you
can put it / nest it anywhere you like within the application,
provided the container its housed in is "known" to FLEX at compile
time...

aye, eval() doth saveith but for-warned! heh..it's been considered in
many languages a "last resort" concept to apply in ones code (Well
thats what i've been taught anyway)..

Your actual "Classes" imported shouldn't consume a lot of memory (from
my brief understanding of the flash player). Its only when you
instantiate them (ie take them from their prototype state to a full
visual) that it starts to get some memory behind it (especially with
the current players performance issues).

It'd be good to hear an offical wording on this via some of the MM
engineers about importing classes vs instantiating them and the memory
consumption between the two?

Many ways :), some are...

- LocalConnection
- XMLSocket


I wrote a Flash application in past, which used to communicate with MS
Outlook and MS Excel. It was kind of experiment after someone on
flashcoders asked about it..

If you are working for intranet applications, these things(custom
ActiveX, standalone apps etc) are possible and easy..


BTW! Looking for Ted's experiment and his python socket server :)

Re: [flexcoders] bug of the minute: MenuBar, Scaling, and Sub Menus

I'm not aware of the exact reason for this, but my guess is that they
are not children in order to support the following case:

The Box would normally clip its content -- including the dropdown
menus (if they were children of the MenuBar).

It's the same for ComboBox: the dropdown is not a child of the component.

If you decide to subclass the components to add scaling support, you
would have to override the setters for "scaleX" and "scaleY" and apply
the same value to the dropdown movie clips.  This may not be trivial
for both components, since the dropdowns are created only when needed.
 Thankfully the source for both ComboBox and MenuBar is available in
FlexforFlash.zip, so if you're truly determined you can do it.

If you want to scale the entire app, then you should simply set scaleX
and scaleY on the Application element.  That takes care of the menus
and combo boxes.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex & external desktop application communication

The nice aspect of a local server (HTTP/XMLSocket) for integration is that
you can interact with Flex applications in the browser cleanly within the
security sandbox of the player. So long as the crossdomain.xml files are in
place and valid, you can have Flex integrate with a local server without
issue from a public website or intranet.

FlexUI <> mx:Loader <> Local HTTP Server <> Local System

FlexUI <> XMLSocket <> Local XMLSocket Server <> Local System

In our case, we are licensing, installing, and configuring software via a
Flex UI through a desktop "Service". Within Flash, FlexBuilder,
Eclipse(Zorn), Browsers, and Standalone Players, we can license, install,
and configure software to the local file system securely. All content is
distributed in a signed format that can be tested for authenticity within
the "Service" before installation occurs.

We shipped Beta 1 of the "Service" internally yesterday on WIN (OSX soon).
We are about a week from announcing and the public beta will proceed
afterwards.

I will make sure to push the announcement onto Flexcoders a day in advance.

There is nothing like a great example.

Hi,You don't need a VideoObject to send stream to

class can not be instantiated using ActionScript. You need to havea Video 
Symbol in your swf.There are two methods:1) Use 
MediaDisplay2) Create a swf with Video symbol and embed in Flex 
app.First method would work without much effort but file size might be 
more,because entire MediaDisplay code would be in swf even though you 
won'tbe using any MediaDisplay functionality.Second method would 
take 5-10 minutes more effort for creating a swfwith Video symbol using

I tell what happened. state. objects are now STRINGS(!?)

<< DUMP START >> 
 this:Object
|model = [object Object]  (string)
|view = false  (string)

I can overcome the view by:
var detailVisible = Boolean(state.view == "true");

But for model it's a different story.

RE: [flexcoders] Dynamic LineSeries color doesnt work

2005-07-07 Thread Ely Greenfield




What type of chart are you using?

Series in a chart get an 'internalStyleName' from the enclosing chart.
Each series gets a different internalStyleName.

Different chart types have different internal style names for their
series. The LineSeries has internalStyleNames that have strokes applied
for the LineSeries within. Other chart types, however, don't have
strokes specified for their internal stylenames.

You can assign a specific stroke to your line series like so:

Import mx.graphics.Stroke;

Ls.stroke = new Stoke(0xFF,2,100); // color, weight, alpha

Ely.

Re: [flexcoders] bug of the minute: MenuBar, Scaling, and Sub Menus

2005-07-07 Thread Matthew Shirey

Thanks for the additional information.  Since I do understand a
bit of how flash is being used to present these UI elements, I do
understand, thanks to you, why there's no parent/child
relationship.  For me, its just really unfortunate.  Because
of the difficulty I have had with the scaling of an entire application,
I have had to drop it from the requirements for this application. 
My superiors were not thrilled, but they can easily see that its just
devouring precious time.  For now, I'm just ramping all of the
fonts very large for the whole application.  For those of us who
can actually see, we're going to want to take a step back from the
monitor, but its all I could come up with on my current time
line.  I'll explore scaling the whole application again once I get
this version out.  Thanks again for the information.

[flexcoders] XML Socket Doesn't Work

2005-07-07 Thread cshafer213

Can Anyone Tell Me what is wrong with the following code to connect to
an XML socket server? The stat Lable should display either "status =
Connected" or "status = Error" when the button is clicked, and nothing
is happening.

Thanks,

Chris Shafer, George Weiss Associates

Re: [flexcoders] Reorder tree via dragging

2005-07-07 Thread Matthew Shirey




As I am currently working with this, I can say that
dataForFormat("source") will give you a reference to the source object
of the drag drop operation.  I am not sure about the "items" one
though.  I've read mixed documentation, some say its
"treeItems".  Any rate, there's a formats array in the event
object that you can itterate through and see all of the available
formats if needed.

Subject: [flexcoders] Reorder tree
via dragging



 

So I'm trying to make a tree which can reorder its nodes by
dragging  
them. One of the things I wanted to do is prevent
a parent item from  
being dragged on to any of its children, and to
show that during the  
dragOver event.

In order to calculate whether the source is being
dragged on to any  
of its offspring, I've been comparing the  
event.dragSource.dataForFormat("treeItems")
first to  
firstValue=event.target.getDropParent().getTreeNodeAt

(event.target.getDropLocation()) then recursively
to the parents of  
firstValue.

This apparently doesn't work because dataForFormat
seems to hand me a  
copy of the items being dragged instead of an
actual reference, so  
the two values are never equal. I did note that
the items that  
dataForFormat give me, do contain references to
the real parents,  
data and other objects, it is just that the items
themselves are  
copies for some reason.

What I ended up doing is something like the
following:

if(checkParentDrop(myowncustom.TreeUtils.findDataItemNode

(view.TemplateAssemblyTree,
dragItems[i].getData())
   
, event.target.getDropParent().getTreeNodeAt 
(event.target.getDropLocation(
 action =
"">

private function checkParentDrop(source,
node):Boolean
 {

if(source == node)

return true;

if(node.getParent()!=null)

return checkParentDrop(source, node.getParent());

else

return false;
 }


public static function findDataItemNode(tree:mx.controls.Tree, 

o:Object):TreeNode
... recursively check the entire tree for the same
getData()  
reference ...

So basically instead of comparing items from 

event.dragSource.dataForFormat("treeItems"),
i have to recursively  
look them up by the reference they contain to
their getData()  
information, to get the actual reference to the
TreeNode which I then  
compare to the drop target and its ancestors for
referential equality.

This is horribly ugly, but it works. Is there a
better way that  
people have stumbled across to validate
tree->self drags? I wish that  
dataForFormat handed over references instead of
copies!

(sorry if this was discussed before; I'm
apparently bad at finding  
previously discussed topics in this list!)

Matt,

Do you know when/if the /go/* feed URLs will be updated? For example,
I subscribe to the Flex Product Notification feed with a URL of
http://www.macromedia.com/go/rss_flex, but that URL still re-directs
to the old markme.com site, which is no longer around. All of the
product notification feeds suffer from this, but since this is a Flex
list, I figured I'd keep it relevant! This is probably more of a
question for Christian Cantrell, but thought you might know.

Regards,
Dave.

[flexcoders] Push/"AJAX" via a Loader (Re: Flex & external desktop application communication)

2005-07-07 Thread Eric Raymond

So a loader can be used to communicate with an HTTP Server in a push
model?!!!  Is this analagous to the way AJAX web sites push content to
the client?

This would be an amazing hack!

If so, I'm very curious as to how well this works in practice.  (I
suspect the devil is in the details here.)

The loader documentation says the the url needs to be a swf or a jpg.
 Can you send down arbitrary data?

Is it possible to access the content of a loader as bytes?

Is it possible to access the content of a loader incrementally (up to
bytesLoaded bytes)?


Can you detect errors?  Can you re-establish communication when there
is an error?  (Do you just dynamically create a new, invisble
loader?).

Do you need to destroy the loader after a period of time to release
the bytes it accumulates?

The benefit of this over XMLSocket would be:

- Avoids issues of (client) firewalls with the use of an arbitrary
port/protocol for XMLSocket

- Simply need to setup a servlet to handle a URL rather than configure
a service to handle commmunication over a port.

- SSL support should come for free

RE: [flexcoders] XML Socket Doesn't Work

Chris,

You need to use Delagate with XMLSocket callbacks.

This should work:

import mx.utils.Delegate;

sock.onClose = Delegate.create( this, sockOnClose );

sock.onConnect = Delegate.create( this, sockOnConnect );

sock.onData = Delegate.create( this, sockOnData );

Cheers,

Ted ;)

That is how you bind a Model with DataGrid. As far as ComboBox's
dataProvider is concerned, you can have static property in CellRenderer
class. Set the static property from the application.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex over dialup?

The app's performance is not directly proportional to download speed. 
Download time is indirectly.  "Slower modem, more time to download the
app; 
modems & broadband have the exact same application running speed."

I'm using a Label, DataGrid, HSlider, Button, ComboBox, CheckBox, Panel,

TitleWindow, VBox, and HBox, along with some small sized codebase, and
the 
resulting SWF is 188k.

After opening up in Flash's bandwidth profiler (running at 56k
[4.7kb/sec]), 
it takes:
- 3 seconds to show the preloader
- 45 seconds to fully download

On slow DSL (32.6kb/sec), it takes:
- 2 seconds to show the preloader
- 5 seconds to fully download

The majority of the filesize comes from components, in particular the
image 
assets.  Additionally, there is a large upfront cost of utilizing the
Flex 
component framework; so dropping a Panel in an application incurs a
large 
charge, but each additional component isn't so much because they all
utilize 
the same framework, so the more components you add, the less impact they

have on final filesize.

Therefore, the number of components isn't a large factor, but rather the

type... which really doesn't matter.

There are a few ways to lessen the impact, such as using
SharedLibraries, 
but this really only applies to an Enterprise Class level application; 
you'll be hard pressed to get passed the 53k crusp:

(old)
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/articles/buildtest_comp_02.htm
l

Building web applications for the bandwidth challenged market is tough;
.NET 
& JVM are out of the question since they take lik 3+ hours to download
where 
as Flash Player takes about 10 minutes over a modem, and then your app
takes 
45 seconds.

It's tough making the business call... taking a Utilitarian approach, if
the 
web application you provided has adequette functionality, then it's
worth 
the 45 second hit, which caches afterwards anyway.  Portraying that
value 
beforehand to get them to "think" it's worth it is tough, I'm sure.

Sorry I can't offer more; I usually develop for intranets or desktops,
so 
it's either Broadband or already installed for me Good luck!

Does anybody here have experience with using Flex applications over
dialup?  I would assume that the initial load time of the application
would be the killer, but subsequent requests would be more user
friendly and bandwidth friendly than a standard web page.  I am
interested to see if anybody has had the chance to see what the user
experience is like on 56K.

In aaddition to this post... does anybody know what the average file
size of a flex swf is? If most of the content (i.e. jpgs, videos, and
other swfs) are loaded dynmically at run-time, what is the expected
file size of a standard shopping cart?

Any information would be helpful... we would like to use flex, but we
are worried that some users will have a hard time using our flex
application over a slow connection.

Thanks that works great, but if  select something
from the combobox and then try to sort the column that the combobox is in, it
does not sort with the rest of the row. 
How
do I set that value?  Thanks

Hi,

       function onAppInit()
       {

       public static var

listOwner:Object;
       
             
  //TODO: all required code to make this renderer complete.

That is how you bind a Model with DataGrid. As far
as ComboBox's
dataProvider is concerned, you can have static
property in CellRenderer
class. Set the static property from the
application.

[flexcoders] Control Bar Background Color

2005-07-07 Thread jwc_wensan

Good Afternoon:

In my code I have changed the "headerColor" of the Panel and want
to change the ControlBar background color to match.

I changed the background color to match, but it did not work.

I then read this from livedocs:


The  container inherits all the properties of its 
parent classes.  Note: Although the ControlBar container inherits 
the borderStyle, backgroundColor, and backgroundImage styles from 
the HBox container, you cannot set them. 
*

Does this mean we are stuck with the Flex default background color
for the ControlBar?

Is there a workaround?

Thanks,

Jack

RE: [flexcoders] Push/"AJAX" via a Loader (Re: Flex & external desktop application communication)

> So a loader can be used to communicate with an HTTP Server in a push
> model?!!!  Is this analagous to the way AJAX web sites push content to
> the client?

Loader is for SWF/Image but there are ton of various ways to exchange data
in Flash. The Flash Player has supported data exchange since version 4 in
various forms. With the current 7 Player you have many options to exchange
data:

ActionScript Classes:

LoadVars
XML
MovieClip.loadVariables
XMLSocket

MXML (built atop the above...)

mx:Loader
mx:Image
mx:HTTPService
mx:WebService
**Others**

The usage varies in form and function but each has strengths and weaknesses.


In regards to a push model there are 2 primary ways to accomplish this:

HTTP Poll with delayed response on server data. The AIM/ICQ Central client
used this model with a custom HTTP server. The HTTP poll request would hang
until the server had data to push, then the result would return.

XMLSocket with true push == Ideal!

I prefer the later because it works, is scalable, and you can shape the
server side API as needed. There is a limited amount you can do with HTTP as
each call is round-trip. With XMLSocket each pipe can send and receive data
independently. The naming of XMLSocket is misleading, it should be
NullSocket as the only required element is null byte delimiters in the
message transport. If you use XMLSocket.onData callback the use of XML is
optional and you can pass plain ASCII messages. 

Most of my server protocols look like this:

Server > Client: SYNC 0 1 2

Client > Server: SYNC 1 55 8787 

Client > Server: SYNC 1 52 8223 

Server > Client: SYNC 0 1 4 

Server > Client: SYNC 0 2 2 

Server > Client: SYNC 0 1 3

I typically create an array using String.split on the value received and
apply it to a function for handling the particular message. In testing this
is about 20X faster than using XML as a payload. Parsing XML on the server
and client are a huge waste when you typically can make due with far less.
Parsing delimited text with String.split is 10x faster than XML parsing in
Flash and you do not bloat memory in the player. Using String.split you can
still use XML with inner message blocks using 'escape' and 'unescape' on
send and receive or using an ASCII character that is illegal in XML like |
or others.

I have written over 20 XMLSocket servers with Python/Java and in every case,
using delimited text was dramatically faster than using XML. For example, I
have a simple echo client/server in Flash that can round-trip exchange 1000
messages in 1.3 seconds. You can't do that with HTTP, apache and IIS would
explode.

In the cases when I used mx:Loader, I was importing SWF files. With the
Kiosk app, we were converting media formats. Flex/Flash would call a URL on
the local server, the local server would fetch a media resource from the
web, convert it to SWF, then return the data to the original loader request.
This was essentially a proxy for media conversion of
GIF/JPG/PNG/WMA/AnimatedGif.

If you are using data, it is best to use mx:HTTPService or just use
XML/LoadVars, this will allow you to exchange data cleanly.
 
> Is it possible to access the content of a loader as bytes?

No. There is no support for ByteArray to enable reading binary data. Central
supports this and I could see some amazing uses for this in the regular
Flash Player.
 
> Is it possible to access the content of a loader incrementally (up to
> bytesLoaded bytes)?

No. Loader is really a MovieClip with a light API atop. By default, Loader
will stream data into the MovieClip. If you are using SWF, it will do its
default file streaming.

Yes although it is a kluge. Determining bytesloaded and detecting load
failure is tricky. Flex makes it easier but nothing is perfect. I even think
the docs mention a shortcoming of this, not sure.
 
> Do you need to destroy the loader after a period of time to release
> the bytes it accumulates?

No just calling a different URL handles this. This is a base feature of
MovieClip in the Flash Player.

This is not true, you can run XMLSocket over port 80! Support for low ports
was enabled in 7,0,14,0 within crossdomain.xml files. XMLSocket works
directly through firewalls without issue. In most cases the client side
(behind the firewall) is initiating the connection so there is no issue at
all. If you use port 80, this gets even cleaner.

[flexcoders] CheckCellRenderer

I'm using the CheckCellRenderer from the samples on a datagrid that is 
inside of a title window.  The problem I'm having is when I check the 
top item the item in the grid that is not being displayed at the moment 
is also checked.  Any ideas?

[flexcoders] getDropParent() when the branch is closed.

2005-07-07 Thread Jeff Krueger











All,

 

    I am trying to drag an item from a grid and drop
it on a tree control.  I have found that the getDropParent seems to be the best
bet when trying to find where to add a new child node to.  The only problem I
am having is if the user chooses to drop the item on a branch that is currently
closed, the getDropParent() call returns one level higher.  If the branch is
set to open even with no children nodes then everything works.  I can kind of
understand why it works like this, but is there a way to work around this.  Below
is my dragDrop method, pretty much what everyone else has posted.  I could
expand all branches when the drag begins but that could be ugly.

 

 

public function
doDragDrop(event:Object)

    {   

doDragExit( event);

    var
dragItems = event.dragSource.dataForFormat( "items" );

    var targetForDrop =
tree.getDropParent();

    for ( var i = 0; i


    {

        targetForDrop.addTreeNode("test",dragItems[i]);

    tree.setIsOpen(targetForDrop,
true);

    tree.selectItem(targetForDrop,
true);

}

}

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Jeff

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex over dialup?

The app's performance is not directly proportional to download speed. 
Download time is indirectly.  "Slower modem, more time to download the
app; 
modems & broadband have the exact same application running speed."

I'm using a Label, DataGrid, HSlider, Button, ComboBox, CheckBox, Panel,

TitleWindow, VBox, and HBox, along with some small sized codebase, and
the 
resulting SWF is 188k.

After opening up in Flash's bandwidth profiler (running at 56k
[4.7kb/sec]), 
it takes:
- 3 seconds to show the preloader
- 45 seconds to fully download

On slow DSL (32.6kb/sec), it takes:
- 2 seconds to show the preloader
- 5 seconds to fully download

The majority of the filesize comes from components, in particular the
image 
assets.  Additionally, there is a large upfront cost of utilizing the
Flex 
component framework; so dropping a Panel in an application incurs a
large 
charge, but each additional component isn't so much because they all
utilize 
the same framework, so the more components you add, the less impact they

have on final filesize.

Therefore, the number of components isn't a large factor, but rather the

type... which really doesn't matter.

There are a few ways to lessen the impact, such as using
SharedLibraries, 
but this really only applies to an Enterprise Class level application; 
you'll be hard pressed to get passed the 53k crusp:

(old)
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/articles/buildtest_comp_02.htm
l

Building web applications for the bandwidth challenged market is tough;
.NET 
& JVM are out of the question since they take lik 3+ hours to download
where 
as Flash Player takes about 10 minutes over a modem, and then your app
takes 
45 seconds.

It's tough making the business call... taking a Utilitarian approach, if
the 
web application you provided has adequette functionality, then it's
worth 
the 45 second hit, which caches afterwards anyway.  Portraying that
value 
beforehand to get them to "think" it's worth it is tough, I'm sure.

Sorry I can't offer more; I usually develop for intranets or desktops,
so 
it's either Broadband or already installed for me Good luck!

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex over dialup?

Does anybody here have experience with using Flex applications over
dialup?  I would assume that the initial load time of the application
would be the killer, but subsequent requests would be more user
friendly and bandwidth friendly than a standard web page.  I am
interested to see if anybody has had the chance to see what the user
experience is like on 56K.

In aaddition to this post... does anybody know what the average file
size of a flex swf is? If most of the content (i.e. jpgs, videos, and
other swfs) are loaded dynmically at run-time, what is the expected
file size of a standard shopping cart?

Any information would be helpful... we would like to use flex, but we
are worried that some users will have a hard time using our flex
application over a slow connection.

Thank you,

[flexcoders] data binding remoting data . . .

2005-07-07 Thread chris.alvarado

good afternoon everyone,

so im finally diving into Flex and im really liking it so far.

ive found some pretty good examples of working with data from remoting
(specifically Coldfusion). however i havent found any examples of how
to bind data to something like a combobox.

in Flash with remoting what i would do is dump the resultset from CF
into a dataset component then bind that component to the combobox and
set the combobox's labelField property to whatever the name of the
field from the resultset i wanted to display as the label. then, since
i always bound the selectedIndex property i could just reference the
selected item as dataset.items[dataset.selectedIndex].fieldName to get
whatever data i wanted.

however im not able to replicate this in Flex. how is everyone else
handling databinding the data returned via remoting?

thanks everyone!

Re: [flexcoders] Reorder tree via dragging

2005-07-07 Thread Sean McKibben

So, what I've ended up using is the dataForFormat("source") when the  
dragSource is a tree, which gets a reference to the tree. Once you  
have that, the actual items being dragged will be the selectedNode or  
the selectedNodes, depending on whether or not the tree allows  
multiple selection.

So if you do
(selectedNode == event.target.getDropParent().getTreeNodeAt  
(event.target.getDropLocation())
it will return true if they are, in fact, the same node.

Is anyone aware of a published list of what the various dataForFormat  
strings are in the components that ship with flex?

Thanks,
Sean

[flexcoders] Re: Control Bar Background Color

I assume you used the headerColors attribute on the panel to change
the header colours. The Panel component also has a footerColors style.
The footerColors style is an array of two colours used to the draw
footer background (the area for the ControlBar).

use it like this:





You can also use the footer-colours and header-colors tag in your css
style declarations.

Re: [flexcoders] Load a large swf (13MB)

Clint Modien wrote:
> Can I start playing the movie before it's loaded?

The question is actually harder to answer than it might seem, because 
SWF has added more capabilities and content types since it started.

Here's a good intro to the basic streaming nature of a SWF file, written 
towards Flash 4/5 days:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/how/subjects/Stream1/

For basic SWF a movie will start to display as soon as the first frame 
is loaded... the second frame will display immediately if it has no new 
media, or (if the second frame has new media) after the second frame's 
media has downloaded. Generally, Flash is set up to start playing "in a 
Flash".

It gets harder if you're using elements which can be called at any time 
during play (attachMovie, attachSound, etc) because these elements then 
need to be front-loaded, and need to be completely downloaded before the 
*chance* that they might be called in the first frame. Components 
generally fall into this class as well.

The video features add another complication to "is it streaming"... we 
can set up video to download entirely before playing, to stream from a 
server, more:
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/articles/flv_download.html

One useful strategy for many cases where a 13-megabyte SWF is considered 
would be to break the presentation into modules which can then be called 
on demand. If everything was in a single 13M SWF then you might have to 
download the bulk of it before seeing anything interesting (depending on 
how it was constructed), but if there's 2M for a map module, another 4M 
for a voice-over and so on, then you can load these assets as they're 
requested and speed the immediate startup of the piece for your audience.


Easier question to ask than to answer, sorry, but does the above provide 
a path for what you wish to achieve...?

Re: [flexcoders] Added image/s in TileList is/are not shown

2005-07-07 Thread P Trisnadi

Thanks for your interest and notice, Scott. To recap:
I have a TileList that shows images and their names,
read from an XML file and rendered by a CellRenderer.
When the [Add Photo] button is clicked, a createPopUp
is called. This PopUp also has a TileList that reads
another XML file with the same structure (but
different data.) Images can be selected, and when the
[Add] button is clicked selected images should be
added to the main TileList's model. However, something
is added to the TileList, but it only shows blank
tiles/undefined...

Here is the code again...

Re: [flexcoders] data binding remoting data . . .

2005-07-07 Thread Tarik Ahmed

Hi Chris. It sounds like you mostly got this working; are you saying 
you're getting stuck on selectedIndex part of it?

But in general ya... I would an mx:RemoteObject, with a method where 
upon completion have a result="resultHandler(event.result)" that assigns 
the resulting data to a local array.

And then:
   

Type deal. If I need the comboBox to have it's selectedIndex then  to be 
set, then I handle that in the resultHandler() (to use the above example).

This might be of help:

RE: [flexcoders] Re: XML Socket Doesn't Work

Ah, there are 2 errors is there, socket is a temporary variable within the
connect method and null is not a valid value for the server.

Think of the   block as a class (because it is at runtime). I
made this mistake first time round the MXML tree.

I did figure this out, and it's !

I just needed to set the Application backgroundColor to white, and 
the application backgroundAlpha to 0. Then my compiled SWF can be 
made transparent by using the 'wmode' object/embed attribute.

[flexcoders] using a repeater with large data sets

Hi all,

I posted this about an hour ago but it didnt appear to show up (sorry
if you have already received this)

I am using a repeater to show a list of search results. Each search
result is a container of sorts with a custom header, clicking on the
header open and closes the search result deatail (along with a few
extra bits and pieces of functionality).

I have found that the CF call takes merely seconds, yet rendering the
result components using the repeater takes quite some time when a
large result set is returned.

I was wondering what the performance benefits would be if I manually
created the search results using createChild etc, rather than the
repeater? If I am unable to speed things up my next step is to
implement paging.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Andrew Spaulding

Re: [flexcoders] Added image/s in TileList is/are not shown

When the [Add Photo] button is clicked, a createPopUp

[flexcoders] using a repeater with large data sets

Hi all,

I am currently using a repeater to display a list of search results,
each of them being a container of sorts with a custom header with
extra controls. Click on the header open and closes the result, a long
with a few other bits and pieces. 

One thing I have found is that with a larger search result listing it
takes quite some time to render the results. 

If I was to manually create the search result children myself using
createChild etc (rather than using the repeater) what effects would
this have on my performance issues? I am not particularly interested
in paging result sets just yet, but this would be my next step if I am
unable to speed things up otherwise.

Any thoughts would be appreciated,

Cheers,

Andrew Spaulding

RE: [flexcoders] using a repeater with large data sets

2005-07-07 Thread Tracy Spratt

One possibility with the repeater is to set the number of items that are
rendered, then, instead of scrolling, use page-up, page-down buttons.  A
repeater with around a hundred moderately complex items is horribly
slow.  Show only 10, and recycleChildren and things improve
dramatically.  This is much simpler to impement that true server-based
data paging, though Matt C. has a good discussion of that.

A cellRenderer in a list is faster than the repeater, but with 100+
items still takes several seconds.

No matter how you do it, it is the rendering that takes the time.

I'll use the count and startingIndex properties to manage the paging

Re: [flexcoders] Re: using a repeater with large data sets

2005-07-07 Thread Alex Cruikshank

Hi Andrew,
If you're using remoting, I'd make sure your performance problems
aren't with the serialization/deserialization of the results before
you invest much time in optimizing the display.  I've done some
research into this
(http://www.carbonfive.com/community/archives/2005/07/the_remoting_de.html)
and the performance of calls returning large lists can be quite poor
even when the app server call is snappy.  This is true even when the
results aren't displayed at all.

I recommend using a List, Horizontal List, or Tile list with a paging
data provider for anything that may have over 50 or so items.  Once
you get your data provider working, a repeater is surprisingly easy to
convert to a list.  You just need to extract the contents of the
repeater into a separate mxml (if they're not already), give the new
mxml a setValue() method, and set the cell renderer of the list to the
new mxml.

Hope this helps,
Alex

Yes, I think all history manager
information is stored as strings so type is not going to be maintained and you’ll
need to deal with that in your loadState method.

I can overcome the view by:

RE: [flexcoders] getDropParent() when the branch is closed.











Maybe you could add a itemRollOver handler
on the Tree so that when you are dragging (indicated by dragEnter I guess) and
you encounter a branch you could make sure the branch gets opened?

getDropParent() when the branch is closed.



 

All,

 

   
I am trying to drag an item from a grid and drop it on a tree control.  I
have found that the getDropParent seems to be the best bet when trying to find
where to add a new child node to.  The only problem I am having is if the
user chooses to drop the item on a branch that is currently closed, the
getDropParent() call returns one level higher.  If the branch is set to
open even with no children nodes then everything works.  I can kind of
understand why it works like this, but is there a way to work around
this.  Below is my dragDrop method, pretty much what everyone else has
posted.  I could expand all branches when the drag begins but that could
be ugly.

 

 

public function
doDragDrop(event:Object)

   
{  


doDragExit( event);

   
var dragItems = event.dragSource.dataForFormat(
"items" );

   
var targetForDrop = tree.getDropParent();

   
for ( var i = 0; i 

   
{

   
   
targetForDrop.addTreeNode("test",dragItems[i]);

   
tree.setIsOpen(targetForDrop, true);

   
tree.selectItem(targetForDrop, true);

}

}

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Jeff

RE: [flexcoders] Reorder tree via dragging











We mention the formats in the List section

So, what I've ended up using is the dataForFormat("source")
when the  
dragSource is a tree, which gets a reference to
the tree. Once you  
have that, the actual items being dragged will be
the selectedNode or  
the selectedNodes, depending on whether or not the
tree allows  
multiple selection.

So if you do
(selectedNode ==
event.target.getDropParent().getTreeNodeAt  
(event.target.getDropLocation())
it will return true if they are, in fact, the same
node.

Is anyone aware of a published list of what the
various dataForFormat  
strings are in the components that ship with flex?

Thanks,
Sean

RE: [flexcoders] aboute default mouse moveover style











Actually, I might have been looking at
Flex 2.0 docs here J  highlightColor is used when a component has focus, not sure
if mouseOver will cause highlight too (I think it does).

Generally this is the focusIn skin that
you’re seeing on a lot of the components.  In the lists you’d
be looking at the rollover styles.

Hi,all,

When mouse move
over event takes, the control's style changes. My
question is: what
style does the flash choose. i want to simulate the
style of the mouse
moveover event occurs.

RE: [flexcoders] Added image/s in TileList is/are not shown











You’re using the List addItemAt method
instead of the DataProvider addItemsAt method.  I think you want to use _root.modelImage2.photo.addItemsAt(0,
tilelistAllImage.selectedItems);

as the body of your addLibrary method, no
need for the for loop.

Not sure why second message was also truncated. Let's
try this again...
--
Thanks for your interest and notice, Scott. To
recap:
I have a TileList that shows images and their
names,
read from an XML file and rendered by a
CellRenderer.
When the [Add Photo] button is clicked, a
createPopUp
is called. This PopUp also has a TileList that
reads
another XML file with the same structure (but
different data.) Images can be selected, and when
the
[Add] button is clicked selected images should be
added to the main TileList's model. However,
something
is added to the TileList, but it only shows blank
tiles/undefined...

Here is the code again...

-- XML file, both look similar --

  
   image01.jpg
  
image02.jpg
  
image03.jpg
  

-- TileList that I want to add images in
--



...
    
 
dataProvider="{modelImage2.photo}"
cellRenderer="thumbnail2"
change="{showSelected(tilelistImage.selectedItem)}"
multipleSelection="true"/>
    

-- TileList that I want to bring images
from
--




    
    
dataProvider="{modelImage.photo}"
cellRenderer="thumbnail2"
change="{anySelected(tilelistAllImage.selectedItem)}"
multipleSelection="true"/>
    
click="addLibrary()"/>

-- CellRenderer --


xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
width="72" height="86"
horizontalAlign="center"
verticalAlign="middle"
horizontalGap="0"
verticalGap="0"
borderStyle="none" hScrollPolicy="off"
vScrollPolicy="off">
    
    var
photoObj:Object;
   
function setValue(str:String,item:Object) {
   
if (item==undefined) {
   
visible=false;
   
return;
   
} else {
   
photoObj=item;
   
visible=true;
   
}
    }
    
    
height="64"
verticalAlign="middle"
horizontalAlign="center"/>
    
textAlign="center"
fontSize="10"/>



Any idea why it adds blank, undefined tile here?

TIA,

[flexcoders] Re: using a repeater with large data sets

Hi Alex,

Yeh I followed your posts on performace with large data sets, and our
return data from the RemoteObject service is relatively fast. The
problem lies with the rendering of the results.

For what I'm doing I have found the the Repeater works better for me
compared to a List with a CellRenderer (and yes I already have the
repeated contents extracted into a separate mxml file).

I have gone with Tracy's idea, and am using the 'count' and
'startingIndex' property on the Repeater. I am currently putting
together a paging component, kind of like how Google would page its
search results, and am having this control the Repeater.

Thanks to everyone for there help,

Andrew
