1. What is Flexcoders?

Flexcoders is a forum where developers can ask questions about Flex,
FlexBuilder, and Flex-related technologies (like Cairngorm, FlexUnit and
SynergyFLEX).  The community is made up of everyday Flex developers as
well as Macromedia employees. However, this is not an official
Macromedia-sponsored forum, it is actually moderated by the folks at
iteration::two, a consultancy responsible for authoring the book
Developing Rich Internet Applications with Macromedia Flex.


2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on
   www.macromedia.com?

Both the Macromedia Flex Forum and Flexcoders provide help on issues
related to Flex, and neither is an official support mechanism.  Some
people monitor both forums, some only one.  It is up to you to decide
where you might have a better experience getting a question answered and
being able to subsequently help others.


3. Who posts to Flexcoders?

Everyone who has a question or an answer.  Many members of the Flex
development team read and respond to Flexcoders as well as other
Macromedia folks who monitor the community.

Some recurring Macromedia folks are:

David Mendels: EVP and GM, highest-level executive in charge of Flex.
Lucian Beebe: Sr. Product Manager, Flex. Matt Chotin, Manish Jethani,
Abdul Qabiz, Gordon Smith, Peter Farland and many more: Engineers on
Flex.

Active community members include:

Steven Webster (Technical Director at iteration::two and co-author of
Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Alistair McLeod
(Development Director at iteration::two and co-author of Developing Rich
Clients with Macromedia Flex), Jesse Warden (JesterXL - Flash badass
playing with Flex), Tracy Spratt (long-time member, holder of all
knowledge related to 32K limits), Jeff Steiner (maintainer of
www.flexauthority.com), Tariq Ahmed (maintainer of www.cflex.net), Jimmy
Gianninas (long-time member, developer at Optimal Payments).

And so many more!


4. Resources to check before asking a question

favorite bookstore)



5. Guidelines to effective question-asking

Include a useful subject; this will help people find their own questions
and answers later.

Explain what you are trying to accomplish.

Explain the error (include compilation errors or a description of the
runtime behavior).

Be prepared to break your problem down into a simpler scenario in case
someone wants to try to debug the code themselves.  Remember, private
web services are inaccessible; you may need to create some dummy data to
emulate problems.

Phrases to avoid:

URGENT (we all have deadlines, no one is intentionally delaying a
response to you)

Please send code (this is very frustrating to read as it implies you
aren't interested in learning anything on your own.  Where code is
appropriate you can expect someone to provide it, but in many cases you
will learn more by doing it on your own with appropriate guidance.  It
may be that you're on a deadline and just want to finish, but many of
those who respond regularly would prefer to teach you to fish so that
you can answer your own questions next time and even help out others).


6. Mini-FAQ



Q: Can I mail Matt, Manish, Abdul, Pete, Gordon, iteration::two, or
anyone else for that matter off-line with my question?

A: Please don't!  If someone is capable of answering your question on-
list please believe that it will be done.  Everyone on the list has
full-time jobs doing their own work and often answer flexcoders on their
own time; mailing them off- list doesnt endear you to them.  If no one
answers on-list in a reasonable amount of time (24 hours) you can try to
rephrase the question and perhaps include more detail (including a
version of the problem that someone can run without doing any setup on
their own

RE: [flexcoders] get ComboBox selected item with RemoteObject

2005-07-17 Thread Stacy Young











You could loop thru the dataprovider of
your combo and compare to whatever your current value for that field isthen
set the combos selected index.

HTH,

Stace



(not tested)



var iniVal:Object;
 

 function resultHandler(result){
 iniVal = result;

 var dp = comboboxId.dataProvider;

for(var i:Number=0; i  dp.length; i++){

 if( dp[i].data == remoteCallResultValueHere ){

 comboboxId.selectedIndex = i;

 break;

 }

RE. [flexcoders] get ComboBox selected item with RemoteObject

2005-07-17 Thread shahnavaza

Hi

Use a function to do your selection

mx:ComboBox dataProvider={typeToitureModel.toiture.type} 
value=3302 creationComplete=doSelection(event)/

function doSelection( event  : Object ) : Void
{
 var comboBoxID = event.target;
// In my case I always prefer to keep first
element in Combo Box as PLEASE SELECT label.
comboBoxID.addItemAt(0,Please Select, );
 comboBoxID.selectedIndex = 0;
}

Thanks,

Re: RE. [flexcoders] get ComboBox selected item with RemoteObject

2005-07-17 Thread Ghislain Simard

The selection in my ComboBox is saved in a database.  When I want to 
come back to that ComboBox (in an other session), I want to get back 
to the previously saved selected item.

[flexcoders] Axis server exceptions and Flex.

2005-07-17 Thread Shlomi Cohen

Title: Mercury Email Signature





Hi

i 
know this is a question more suitable for Axis forum but we are all working with 
the same tools so maybe someone knows.

The 
problem: 
when 
there is a server method exception Axis sends a faultcode of 
"Server.userException" in the SOAP
response to the flex client and the actual class and 
stack trace in the faultstring.

According to Axis docs if you throw an Exception which 
inherit from RemoteException than Axis will put the class name in the fault code 
field , see http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html#Exceptions.

but 
unfortunately this did not work for me , i triedthrowing RemoteException 
and throwing a child of RemoteException but no 
luck.

The 
need to distinguish between exceptions isobvious , we need to format a 
nice message according to the 
real 
exception happened on the server.

we 
are about to build our own result object that will have an error code in it , 
but wanted to check if thereis a nicer
formal way of changing the faultcode in the SOAP 
response.

do you have any idea 
?

thanks
Shlomi

Not to my knowledge, but you can do a couple of things to get around it. 

- don't embed any fonts
- use a text input field -- Flash never aliases font in them
- change the style to a device font for areas where you want to use non-anti-aliased fonts
