Re: [flexcoders] Overlay container on panels
Hi, I ran through your code.
Looks like you have not quite understood the concept of using mx:Canvas.
Also I found that your layout is in total disarray!
Use these guidelines for basic layout.
1. You use mx:HBox to layout components horizontally.
2. Use mx:VBox to layout components vertically
3. Use mx:Canvas to layout components over each other or you have
real reason to moce around components on the stage.
4. For your requirement, I assume an accordian would be the best.
5. Try and avoid statically positioning/sizing components. Use
percentages as much as possible. (I myself have started seeing the
beauty of flexi/scalable layouts! and I believe this is what Flex
makes your layout a lot more attractive)
If I understand your requirement correctly, you want to just show and
hide the shopping cart on click of a button.
So do the following.
Put all your code, EXCEPT the shopping cart in a VBox/HBox. Lets call it
ALLOTHERCODE.
And the shopping cart - CART
Then your code should look like this.
mx:Application ..
mx:Canvas
ALLOTHERCODE
CART
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Application
Let us know if it helps ...
I suggest you work with a skeleton structure in the begining with just
containers.
Once you are happy with the result, populate the PieCharts, Datagrids,
etc (typically how you would approach HTML page design)

If you could take a second look, I've included the modified code below:
Also, a general layout question. Is it good practice to have one
canvas for your entire application that you then nest other containers
and components in? Just wondering...

Re: [flexcoders] Databinding to a webservice from within a component

Bind this variable to event.result from the webservice.
Access this variable from any component anywhere.

var eventDetailsResult;
mx:Script

[flexcoders] Re: Flex and Databases
Hi Ahmed, Flex can't directly connect to databases (Oracle,MSSQL,Access,Excel sheets,etc,etc). In Flex you have 3 ways to access data: Webservices, HTTP services and RemoteObjects. This 3 ways are the only available to retrieve/insert/update/delete data. If you want to connect to Access database, one way is to use HTTP services and point them to some scripting technology (PHP,ASP???) When the first data connection kit was available to flash (before data components were available) there was a sample application with ASP pages that allowed those operations. To be honest, why connect Flex to a mdb database? I mean, a 15K license to create an application with a mdb database ... it's simply odd...

[flexcoders] programatically change headerColors? Re: Control Bar Background Color
Hi Steve,
Yep, you're on the right track, it does involve use of the setStyle
method.
Use the following to retrieve the current settings if need be -
myPanel.getStyle('headerColor');
Setting the header colours requires an array, so it would be done like
this -
myPanel.setStyle('headerColors',[0xFF,0xFF]);
The same concept applies to all other styles. Hope this helps!

Typing in an entry works fine, however, selecting an entry from the
drop down list doesn't work at all until you do it a second time.

How do you do the data binding to the textbox, can either of the 3
combo boxes populate the text field? I do something similar where I
display the description from the combo box:
mx:Model id=selectedDescriptions
selForecastAge{forecastAgeCBO.selectedItem.label}/selForecastAge
Then my label has:
mx:Label text=Use: {selectedDescriptions.selForecastAge} x=10

I have 3 editable combo boxes in a panel and when an item is selected,
nothing appears in the text box. When an item is selected a second

Is this just a quirk of the Editable combobox or is this a bug?

[flexcoders] Form Control focus and Default Button
Hello Flexcoders,
Im working on a simple login form and attempting
to accomplish the following:
+ Assign a default button to login so after page
loads and you hit enter the form submits, no need to click in to the page.
+ Assign selection to the first of the two text
fields that have no text, otherwise focus should be on the button.
I have made a few attempts but I have not been able
to get it all working, only some of the functionality here and there.
Thanks for any help,
Allen

You can actually connect directly to SQL server by turning on the web listener and pass your SQL statements in an HTTP request. It is pretty easy to do and reduces the overhead of another layer.

In Flex you have 3 ways to access data: Webservices, HTTP services and RemoteObjects. This 3 ways are the only available to retrieve/insert/update/delete data. If you want to connect to Access database, one way is to use HTTP services and point them to some scripting technology (PHP,ASP???) When the first data connection kit was available to flash (before data components were available) there was a sample application with ASP pages that allowed those operations. To be honest, why connect Flex to a mdb database? I mean, a 15K license to create an application with a mdb database ... it's simply odd...

Thanks so much for this. Is there any way that I can set it up so I don't

Re: [flexcoders] Event Handlers inside custom components
On 7/28/05, Archibald Scatflinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I do not want to use implicit getter/setters because I want the
components property to be bindable.
To make the component's property bindable, specify a ChangeEvent for
the property and dispatch the event when the value changes.
e.g.
?xml version=1.0?
mx:Box xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml; xmlns=*
mx:Label text={labelText} /
mx:Script
// Storage for 'labelText' property
private var _labelText:String = ;
[ChangeEvent(labelTextChange)]
public function get labelText():String

public function set labelText(value:String):Void
{
if (value != _labelText)
{
_labelText = value;
dispatchEvent({type: labelTextChange});
}
}
/mx:Script
/mx:Box
When labelText is modified, the component dispatches an event to
trigger binding. Check out the generated AS to see how this works.

[flexcoders] Why can't I package my components
Hey everyone, gotta simple stupid question, whose answer is ducking me. I making an application, and I am putting customized components in packages. I can use the xmlns=* and reference components that are in the same package from each other. But when I try to reference a component in another package, it gives me the Dont know how to parse element.. error at compilation time. Right now I have a Main.mxml, which resides in the root directory. Then I have a package called search, which house the search components. Within this package, I have about 5 customized components. Within that search directory, I have a testingMain app which I use the namespace xmlns=*, and then I am able to use those components in there. Now, from Main.mxml, in the root, when I try xmlns:srch=search.*, and then try srch:SearchTabs. It gives me the error stating it doesnt know how to parse that element. Ive tried setting a manifest file, pointing to all the classe in that dir, and modified the flex-config compiler section to create another namespace, pointing to this directory, to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

[flexcoders] XML Load
Title: XML Load

public function loadPLMS():Void{
tacticsXML.load( [URL] );
tacticsXML. success )
{
Alert.show( tacticsXML.parentNode.toString() );
}
The Alert doesn't show me anything. If I try to dump success, it does show me "true". Am I doing anything wrong here?

[flexcoders] Problem with auto-selecting Tree Node
Hello, All. I've searched through the email archives and haven't really found anything exactly solving the problem I'm having... Basically, I have a Tree that lists out an e-learning course, with each unit being the root nodes, with their pages living inside of them. What I want is to pass in the query string something like ?unit=1page=1 in order to have the system pre-select the unit and page you've chosen elsewhere to view.My first problem is that when referring to the variables as _root.unit and _root.page (I'm a flash developer, cut me some slack!) I'm getting the variables fine, except they're typed as String and when I add them together, I get the number 11 (the string "1" concatenated with the string "1" instead of the 1 being added to 1 to get 2).That's my first problem; I'm received query string variables typed incorrectly. My second problem is that even if I skip this step and try and force my tree to open the specified unit (which works), and THEN tell the Tree to set the selectedNode to to the correct node index, it's just pre-selected the root node at that index instead of the node nested in the open unit. Now, when I debug this and actually click the correct node at the correct index, I get back the index I'm setting the selectedNode to, so basically I assume that the selectedNode is being set BEFORE I open the correct unit node, even though I call it after a redraw() after I set the node open. My code is below: public function selectDefaultUnit(event){ if(!_root.unit){ _root.unit = 0; } if(!_root.page){ _root.page = 0; } var unitNode:Object = event.target.getTreeNodeAt(_root.unit); event.target.setIsOpen(unitNode,true,true,false); event.target.redraw(); // maybe this is unnecessary, but it won't hurt, right? var pageIndex:Number = _root.unit + _root.page; // this is the code that gets me the strings concatenated with eachother var pageNode:Object = event.target.getNodeDisplayedAt(3); // i'm setting 3 here by hand for debugging purposes event.target.selectedNode = pageNode; debugObject(pageIndex,false);// my debug method event.target.redraw(); // redraws to show the selections. if i don't do this, the tree doesn't show something as being selected until i mouseover it a few times }Thanks!!!

Just trying to bump this problem up - still looking for a solution.
I've tried a bunch of different combinations to make the onSoundComplete

repurposed from Flash - make no mention of the scoping issue. Anyone have
suggestions or a hello world level example?

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] sound problem: onSoundComplete
Matt - I made your modification in my code, and still have the same
problem: sound plays OK, but the onSoundComplete actions (trace and
reset
alpha) never take place.
Here's the modified code:
function startSound(currentSound)
{
feedback.text += currentSound+ playing now;
glow.alpha = 100;
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.attachSound(currentSound);
snd.onSoundComplete =
mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, function()
{
glow.alpha = 0;
feedback.text += stopping now;
});
snd.start();
}
Any other ideas?

Subject: [flexcoders] sound problem: onSoundComplete
Trying to get onSoundComplete() to work - but it never seems to get
called.
Here's the code I'm working with:
function startSound(currentSound)
{
feedback.text += currentSound+ playing now;
glow.alpha = 100;
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.attachSound(currentSound);
snd.onSoundComplete = function()
{
glow.alpha = 0;
feedback.text += stopping now;
}
snd.start();
}
The currentSound parameter is the name of an mp3. The startSound
function is called as the change event from a comboBox used to select
the sound to be played. The sound gets played just fine, but the
onSoundComplete function never executes.
The feedback.text mechanism is a trace - and the text stopping now
never gets called.
The glow object is an imported .swf whose alpha is supposed to change
when the sound is complete.

[flexcoders] Re: Combo Box Quirk or Bug
maybe it is because you have not called the function assign data, as
it is in here that the dataprovider binding is setup.
Why not set the binding up on the combo:
mx:ComboBox id=assetMFR editable=true dataProvider={arrData}/
and make sure that the array arrData, is defined outside of the function
Andrew
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, charlespaz1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
It is not a seperate text field, but the combo boxes' own text fields
that they won't fill in.
The data is bound by setting the data provider to an Array of strings.
function assignData() {
var arrData:Array = new Array(string1, String2);
assetMFR.dataProvider = arrData;
}
mx:ComboBox id=assetMFR editable=true /
Typing in an entry works fine, however, selecting an entry from the
drop down list doesn't work at all until you do it a second time.

Re: [flexcoders] sound problem: onSoundComplete
The Activation Object is the weirdest beast... XML LoadVars will both stay
around AND fire their onLoad/onData events even if you declare them as local
vars.
While this is nice to save on member variables, no one knows what the heck
garbage collection does with them, so doing things your way is recommended.
...still, I have in the past gotten onSoundComplete to work via a local var

[flexcoders] Flex SAP Article in DevNet
Hi there, Did anyone take a look here http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/whitepapers/pdf/sap_flex.pdf ?

[flexcoders] menubar question
I'm just playing with the MenuBar component and I can't seem to figure out how to make the first menu flush with the left side of my app...there always seems to be a padding of 10 pixels before the start of the first menu item in the menu bar...I've tried setting a handful of attributes to 0 and none of them seem to move the first item flush to the left...I'm sure I'm an idiot and am overlooking something...anyone know how to heck to do this? I thought marginLeft=0 would do the trick...not so much. robert l. brueckmann senior web developer merlin securities 595 madison avenue new york, ny 10022 p: 212.822.4821 f: 212.822.4820 This message contains information from Merlin Securities, LLC, or from one of its affiliates, that may be confidential and privileged.

Re: [flexcoders] sound problem: onSoundComplete
Hey - thanks Jeff and Jester. Another difference between Jeff's code and mine is that his uses the delegate to play the sound as well as to call the onSoundComplete method. I was curious why snd.start() was called twice. I removed the snd.start() call in the startSound() function and it worked - but the sound would not repeat (I added a button to repeatedly play the sound, instead of making it an initialization event). Adding the snd.start() back in allowed repeating. Not sure why this is the case. Also curious what performance difference - if any - there is between embedded and non-embedded sounds. I was able to get it to work both ways.

Re: [flexcoders] sound problem: onSoundComplete
attachSound I reckon has less overhead because the sound and header are already embedded in the SWF. Additionally, attachSound is a syncronous opertion, where as loadSound, both streaming and non, is asyncronous. attachSound requires a sound asset be embeded in your SWF, increasing compile time, final SWF size, and loading overhead. As such, the sound is immediaetly available first frame. loadSound requires the external file be mp3 only where as attachSound allows you to import a wide array of formats, with at least 3 different codecs to choose from. loadSound can load mp3's from dynamic sources as well where as attachSound is harcoded to internal assets (like http://www.server.com/myapp.cfm?getmp3file) vs. a true file.mp3. loadSound can undocumented connect to SHOUTCast/streaming mp3 servers. I use attachSound for button clicks and other UI sounds; quick, short. I use loadSound for background music, and long voice overs (if I don't care about syncronization, or have code to handle that for me). - Original Message - From: Tom Fitzpatrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 4:50 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] sound problem: onSoundComplete Hey - thanks Jeff and Jester.

Re: [flexcoders] attachSound vs. loadSound (was: onSoundComplete)
I'll answer your questions backwards with more information than you'd ever care to know. There are 2 types of sounds in a SWF (not counting Flash Lite's device sounds): Event and Streaming. Event sounds are not tied to the frame based engine of Flash. Therefore, they will play indenpendently of the Flash Player's frame rendering. Meaning, if you play your SWF on a slow system, Flash Player may drop (visual) frames to compensate, much like digital video does, but the sound will not stop, nor be re-synced. If you click a button, and expect it to play a sound, you really don't care if it's synced, so for this it works well. However, for eLearning (SWF's produced from Captivate (formerly RoboDemo)) and other voice over scenairos (or actual animation movies), it is integral that the sound be synced with visuals. I'm sure you may have seen some DVD's accidentally do this where the audio gets out of sync. This is unacceptable, and for this, Flash has Streaming sounds. They are called streams because they are embedded with Flash's frames, and since SWF's stream their frames down so you can immediately start playing them even if they haven't finished loading, so to must the entire sound... so it streams, whereas event sounds must be downloaded in their entirety (pretty sure about that last point). However, the only way to create Streaming sounds is using Flash. If you want to sync voice overs to presentations, you're only alternative is Captivate for Breeze. I'm not sure how Captivate makes its SWF's; if you import a CP file into Flash, they use event sounds which boggles my mind, because every Captivate SWF I've ever used syncs perfectly, which leads me believe they have code in there ensuring your Captivate SWF's sync to your audio. In essence, they coded their own timer engine to compensate (but I really really think they are using streaming sounds, it's just the Flash MX 2004 import messes up). So, that's the code scenario. I think Breeze, since it's recording an FLV, is just recording the events, like your power point slide changed, so when you play it back, that event fires at the appropriate time since it's embedded in the FLV. That's another example. Now, to answer your question, I'd use a Remote Shared Library in your case. Compile all of your sounds into a seperate SWF; like a DLL. This SWF will be included at runtime, and added to the total SWF's preload time, so even if your final app is only 180k, the sounds SWF file size will have to be downloaded fully before you can even use 1 sound. I'm sure in your case, though, that's ok. attachSound really means, Hey sound object, when you run your start method, please play this resource. The string parameter you pass into attachSound is just the linkaegID/resource name of the sound embedded in your Flex APP/SWF (in this case in a remote shared library SWF). That reminds me, can't remember if an RSL can have it's sounds used... I think it can.. hrm. Anyway, yeah, for you, attachSound is the way to go. If you need to play another sound, either call attachSound again, OR make a new sound object. You can only, currently, play 8 sounds at once in Flash. If the RSL solution doesn't work with 2 sounds as a test, then loadSound I guess would be ok. It'd be latent the first time you called it since the sound isn't cached on the user's cache, but the 2nd time it it would be... or you could just preload them. - Original Message - From: Tom Fitzpatrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 5:31 PM Subject: [flexcoders] attachSound vs. loadSound (was: onSoundComplete) At 05:13 PM 7/28/2005, you wrote: attachSound I reckon has less overhead because the sound and header are already embedded in the SWF.

[flexcoders] Repeater
Title: Repeater
Hi all,
Is there anything wrong with the following code?
mx:Repeater id=tactics dataProvider={plms.getDivision().getTactics()
plms:header headerText={tactics.currentItem.getName()}/
mx:Repeater id=sTactics dataProvider=tactics.currentItem.getSubTactics()
plms:row rowLabel={sTactics.currentItem.getName()} subTactics={subTactics}/
/mx:Repeater
/mx:Repeater
Where:
plms.getDivision().getTactics() is an Array of Objects and each element of that array has getName() and getSubTactics() methods.
I get the right result when I do this
Alert.show(plms.getDivision().getTactics()[0].getSubTactics()[0].getName());
Any ideas?

}
]]
/mx:Script

/mx:Application
-
!My component file (MyTestComp.mxml)--

RE: [flexcoders] XML Load
Yeah it is scoping issue.
I will suggest using HTTPService, if you are using MXML, HTTPService
provides better mechanism to handle result and fault. Try use to use
higher-level API instead of using low-level Flash Player APIs.
Applications are more future compatible.

Re: [flexcoders] Overlay container on panels
"Should one treat the HBox as a row (i.e., tr), and a VBox as
a cell (i.e., td)"
No, do not take the HTML table
example too far.
Its really very simple.
HBox will layout any number of components horizontally. Inversely, VBox
lays out everything vertically.
Regarding your question, if you want to put 2 panels side-by-side, you
will just put those 2 panels in a HBox.
mx:HBox width=100% height=100%
mx:Panel width=50% height=100%/mx:Panel
mx:Panel width=50% height=100%/mx:Panel
/HBox
The layout component that is very close to a "HTML table" is the
mx:Grid. This container lets you arrange children as rows and columns.
I suggest you read the Flex ActionScript and MXML API
Reference Version 1.5 online at
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/index.html and check
out section on mx:containers.
Invariably jump to
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/mx/containers/index.html
to get a good understanding of the containers.
The best way to get up to speed on all Flex concepts is to thoroughly
go through the Flex Samples that come with the installation.

Thanks, Sree. That helps enormously.
I'm still a bit confused by the HBox and VBox
components. Should one treat the HBox as a row (i.e., tr), and a VBox
as a cell (i.e., td)? For instance, if I want two panels to be side by
side, do I put them in one HBox with two nested VBox? What would be the
syntax for that?
I can't wait till I get I2 Flex book in the
mail. I need to review some basics before I move forward.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Overlay container on panels
Hi, I ran through your code.
Looks like you have not quite understood the concept of using
mx:Canvas.
Also I found that your layout is in total disarray!
Use these guidelines for basic layout.
1. You use mx:HBox to layout components horizontally.
2. Use mx:VBox to layout components vertically
3. Use mx:Canvas to layout components over each other or you have
real reason to moce around components on the stage.
4. For your requirement, I assume an accordian would be the best.
5. Try and avoid statically positioning/sizing components. Use
percentages as much as possible. (I myself have started seeing the
beauty of flexi/scalable layouts! and I believe this is what Flex
makes your layout a lot more attractive)
If I understand your requirement correctly, you want to just show and
hide the shopping cart on click of a button.
So do the following.
Put all your code, EXCEPT the shopping cart in a VBox/HBox. Lets call
it
ALLOTHERCODE.
And the shopping cart - CART
Then your code should look like this.
mx:Application ..
mx:Canvas
ALLOTHERCODE
CART
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Application
Let us know if it helps ...
I suggest you work with a skeleton structure in the begining with just
containers.
Once you are happy with the result, populate the PieCharts, Datagrids,
etc (typically how you would approach HTML page design)

This product takes an input file and outputs to SWF or FLV. This is truly a must read article for anyone interested in merging media with your current Flex application. http://www.flexauthority.com/articlesArchive/FlixEngine.cfm Let me know what you think.

Re: [flexcoders] Returning an object Array from .NET to Flex
Priya, you should add as much details you can, preferably with pieces of code that you are willing to share (to help understand problem better) when you ask a question. Because the short answer to your question is NO. You are doing fine. That is indeed how you bind a result to a datagrid. A better answer would need better detailed question.
