[flexcoders] Re: Query Cleansing

[Andrew Spaulding]

Hey Scott,

I had to deal with a similar scenario a while ago and posted a
solution on flexdaddy

http://www.flexdaddy.info/2005/06/16/strongly-type-a-cf-return-using-cairngorm/

Let me know if that is what you're kinda after ;-)

RE: [flexcoders] Query Cleansing

[Dirk Eismann]

Hi Scott,

we usually go a different route here. It turns out to be totally transparent 
and if implemented correctly then your Flex app will be able to work with 
either CF or any custom J2EE soultion that returns POJOs or collections thereof

- we have a facade.cfc that wraps calls to the underlying CF business logic 
(either encapsulated inside CFCs or some legacy CFML files)

- the facade.cfc is the one single point Flex connects to and exposes remote 
functions 

- any business logic that returns cfquery (or any other strictly CF "data 
type") gets routed through a data type converter cfc before we send it back to 
Flex

- the data type converter converts queries into an array of 
flashgateway.io.ASObject instances with a specific type so it matches with our 
AS VOs (as they all do Object.registerClass() the same way you would do por 
AS->POJO mapping)

The same works the other way round: custom AS VO instances passed over to CF 
get inspected for their type and get turned into something different if 
necessary.

This removes the need to apply unnecessary "extra care" to objects retrieved 
form CF inside the Flash Player and keeps VO generation where it belongs.

Dirk.

RE: [flexcoders] Changing the wrongLengthError in a DateValidator

[Matt Chotin]

The field in 1.x is abstracted away from the
validator so that it’s really only working with the value.  Because of
the way Validators are generated there isn’t even really a field property
on the Validator, it’s just a code-gen construct that is used to register
the Validator in a larger system.  2.0 should give you more exposure to that.

[flexcoders] Query Cleansing

[Scott Barnes]

I've come across a small annoyance (easily fixed) but one that kind of
triggered an initial "extra" level of development.

Basically I went down the path of returning a query from a CFC to
FLEX. Nothing overly exciting about that. Except the property
"character casing" popped its ugly head up the moment I switch my
SELECT xyz to SELETC xYZ.

Suddenly a basic Datagrid i was using appeared blank.

I've since stopped that, and basically "cleanses" the dataproviders
via my commands..
ie:
onResult = iterate over the queryset, create an array of VO per
queryRow while forcing each initial property key to be uppercase..

basically its a "cleansing" procedure before storing that data for
re-use through out my views / shared dataproviders etc.

Has anyone else done this? what techniques have been implemented? as
its quite annoying to have mixed results from CFMX to FLEX in terms of
data (especially when querys and structs are concerned).

What are some best practices in terms of using Remote Object /
Recordsets with frameworks  like Cairngorm (which i'm presently using)

RE: [flexcoders] Is it possible to return multiple recordsets to Flex from one Remote Object call

[Mika Kiljunen]

Why not return an arrray containing recordsets
and then setting the recordsets from the array as dataproviders to your
controls by actionscript as follows:

 

resultArray looks like:

    [0] Recordset1 (an array of
resultobjects from query 1)

    [1] Recordset2 (an array of
resultobjects from query 2)

    [2] Recordset3 (an array of
resultobjects from query 3)

    ….

 

And:

 myGrid.dataProvider
= resultArray[0];

    myOtherGrid.dataProvider =
resultArray[1];

    …

Hi,

My Flex app connects to a large ColdFusion
application.  When I make 
calls from Flex via RO to CF, I need to return
more than one 
recordset in order to populate my various
datagrids.  I know how to 
return one recordset as an Array of Structures,
but what if I have 5

Many thanks for any clarification one can give.

Re: [flexcoders] After TitleWindow deletePopup(), nothing is accessible on screen

[kreddington1]

Does anyone have an example of how to use this removeWindow 
function?  I am trying to get my focus to work.  I placed this 
function in the app file and call it from an eventHandler.  The 
eventHandler gets dispatched in the titlewindow.  Obviously, this 
isn't the right place to call the removeWindow function since I 
can't seem to get the focus to work.

code excerpt:
function showPopUp(){
addressPop = TitleWindow
(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, newAddress, true, initObj));
addressPop.centerPopUp
(parentDocument.mainSection);
addressPop.addEventListener
("addressReturned", this)
}

function handleEvent(evt:Object):Void {
removeWindow();
//does other stuff
}

function removeWindow()
{
doLater(addressPop, "deletePopUp");
}

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "JesterXL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

function removeWindow()

For some reason, it needs a frame when the removal is triggered by

Hello,

I am using code to popup a TitleWindow from the main 
.
 The window pops up fine, and seems to close fine, but after closing,
nothing on the screen can be clicked.  Nothing has focus, so 
rollovers
don't even work, and the only thing clickable is the Link that 
spawned
the popup window in the first place.

I'm using the code from the Flex documentation on popping up 
TitleWindows

function showScreen(screen:String) {
 pop1 = TitleWindow( popupWindow(NewProposalScreen, {title:'New
Proposal', closeButton:true, app: this }) );
}


Any ideas?  Seems to be a focus issue, but I'm a Flash Pro becoming a
Flex noob, so I can't figure out what to do next.

Thanks in advance for any help!

You have the data you need for the conditional, and you have a direct

cellrenderer's method to enable/disable. 

However, I am encountering the problem where the rows array property 
has only length 7 (the visible rows in the datagrid) and anything 
else I access is undefined. I found this rows property using the 
Inspector component. Thus, I am only able to enable/disable the first 
7 (visible) rows in the datagrid and in the event that I have more 
than 7 rows in my datagrid, I don't know how to access the other rows.

// combobox is the 10th cellrenderer (cells[9].combo)
// 
// detail = parent omponent
// detailGrid = datagrid
// gridDp = datagrid dataprovider


// disables appropriate combo box
for(var i:Number = 0; i < gridDp.length; i++)
detail.detailGrid.rows[i].cells[9].combo.enabled = (gridDp
[i].timerecordTrcSequenceNumber > 499) ? true : false;


Is there a better way to do this? Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

[flexcoders] Accessing cells in a datagrid.

[thisdudenamedjon]

I have a datagrid with various cellrenderer's in the different 
columns. One particular cellrenderer uses a combo box. I would like 
to conditionally enable/disable this combo box based on a particular 
field in my datagrid's dataprovider. Currently, I am using the 
following code to iterate through the rows and invoking a 
cellrenderer's method to enable/disable. 

However, I am encountering the problem where the rows array property 
has only length 7 (the visible rows in the datagrid) and anything 
else I access is undefined. I found this rows property using the 
Inspector component. Thus, I am only able to enable/disable the first 
7 (visible) rows in the datagrid and in the event that I have more 
than 7 rows in my datagrid, I don't know how to access the other rows.

// combobox is the 10th cellrenderer (cells[9].combo)

[flexcoders] Is it possible to return multiple recordsets to Flex from one Remote Object call

[coldfs]

Hi,

My Flex app connects to a large ColdFusion application.  When I make 
calls from Flex via RO to CF, I need to return more than one 
recordset in order to populate my various datagrids.  I know how to 
return one recordset as an Array of Structures, but what if I have 5 
different querries that have 5 different recordsets.  How does one 
deal with this?

Many thanks for any clarification one can give.

Darius

RE: [flexcoders] Is there a simple way of doing this

[Tracy Spratt]

And don’t forget the “everything
but ^”, from the docs:

 

If the string
begins with ^, the string specifies the characters that may not be entered into
the control. For example, the string "^a-z" means all upper case letters
may be entered, but no lower case letters are allowed.

[flexcoders] Flex usability test...your help needed!

[Kenneth Berger]

Hello, 

We're currently working on making the next version of Flex the best it
can be, and we need your help!  We are inviting people to participate in
a usability study at Macromedia's main office at 601 Townsend Street in
San Francisco. Our offices are accessible by public transportation and
free garage parking is available.

Interested?  The sessions will take up to two hours, and you will
receive a cash gift of $150 or your choice of the following software:
Macromedia Dreamweaver 8, Flash 8, Fireworks 8, Contribute 3, Captivate,
or Freehand MX.  The new versions of Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks
won't be available at the time of the study, but we'll get them to you
as soon as they're ready in September.

Please fill out the questionnaire below. If you don't hear back from us,
this means that the openings for this particular usability study have
been filled. We will keep your information on file, with your
permission, for future studies. Note that we don't share any personal
information you provide outside of Macromedia.

Thanks again...

RE: [flexcoders] What I wish Flex/Flash Player could do...

[James]

Thanks Ted, 

Maybe I wasn’t plain enough

I have a barcode scanner using the
keyboard wedge (this works Great!)

 

I’m looking for something for the
card reader, that is on the com1 port, and also a cash drawer on the com2 port.
I was thinking about this some more over night and after reading some more on
the list. 

 

I was wondering if there is a
communication component out there, with a class that can be instantiated for
data read/clear etc?

 

Help

James

The best way to test a wedge driver is
with a Text Editor.

 


 Open NotePad
 Set the focus into Notepad
 Swipe a Card, Scan a barcode,
 Read an RFID.


 

If the wedge driver is working, the reader
should rapidly type a long string of characters into notepad. The string has a
set of delimiters that correspond to encoding. It is very easy to parse these
values into something meaningful with just String.split.

 

It is typical for most input devices to
ship with a wedge driver. This provides the simplest integration as each of
these devices can be viewed as just a very fast keyboard.

 

http://www.google.com/search?q=keyboard+wedge+driver

 

http://www.programbl.com/

 

Plus the free ones that ship with the
devices!

 

Cheers,

 

Ted ;)

Hello Ted,

 

   
I was looking for a way to read a card reader from comm. port, as the current
configuration I have to deal with uses a barcode scanner on the wedge.

Any help would greatly be appreciated

Flash can handle these via a standard MS Keyboard
Wedge Driver. We shipped a kiosk with a card reader and the Flash Player can
directly parse data entered. Basically all these devices can be reduced to
keyboard input so when you swipe a card or scan a barcode, it just types data
really fast.

 

Actually I believe I have an example that
does just this very thing…

 

Just put 3 V2 TextInput controls on stage
and name the instances: ti_name, ti_card, ti_date and use this code:

 

Key.addListener(this)


function onKeyDown(){

   
var self = arguments.callee

   
var k = String.fromCharCode(Key.getAscii())

   
if(self.storage == undefined) self.storage=””

   
self.storage = self.storage + k

   
if(self.storage.split("?").length == 3 ){

   
var sname =
self.storage.split("^")[1]   


   
var scardbase =
self.storage.split("?;")[1].split("?")[0].split("=")

   
ti_name.text = sname

   
ti_card.text = scardbase[0]

   
ti_date.text =
scardbase[1]


   
self.storage =
""


   
}  


}

 

This will parse the values from a standard
3 phase credit card reader. In the kiosk that used this we tested cards from
starbucks, visa, amex, subway and all worked perfectly. When each type of
device, you just need to know what to look for in parsing the data received.

 

One less thing for Ethan :)

 

Cheers,

 

Ted J

Here's another one for Ethan then... :)





 





The Flash Player (along with Flex and AS) should have an
input extensibility model that supports input focus management and input from
other mechanisms/devices such as:





 





- Barcode readers





- RFID readers





- Card readers





- Others...





 





This would open up a whole new class of applications for
Flex/Flash.

In order to make sure the grid doesn't scroll off the end or beginning,
you may want to use

Math.max(Math.min(desiredPosition, maxVPosition), minVPosition)

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DepthManager

[JesterXL]

Popups use a depth that is usually set aside for things that are modal. 
Menus' and ComboBox menus tend to go under that so already you can see the 
problem.

If you are using Menu, not MenuBar, I'm not sure but you may be-able to put 
that in a PopUp too?

Hi,

 I am doing something similar now, since I am maintaining a list of

 Also the menu and menubar in the application are appearing below the

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DepthManager

There are other lower-level ways.

The way I've handled in the past was to keep a member variable pointing to 
the highest window, and then do something like:

clickedPanel.setDepthAbove(highestPanel);
highestPanel = clickedPanel;

RE: [flexcoders] Has anyone ever made a card game in Flex

Flash is not peer-to-peer; neither is your web

You need a server.  It would be straightforward to write

[flexcoders] getting error when running Flex1.5 on Dev env.

[Jawad Anwar]

Can anyone explain why I’m getting this error message when
running flex app. on our WSAD App Server even after changing this variable to
true.

 

“An error occurred because there is
no graphics environment available. Please set the headless-server setting in
the configuration file to true.”

 

Though it works fine on my local env. w/o changing anything

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Todd,

Good to see your thinking on this .. thanks for
sharing.

> With all that said, this implementation
forces the developer to change the
way he or she > invokes the remote service.
Instead of service.method(arg1[,
arg2] ...), they need 
> service.invoke("method", arg1[,
arg2] ...); What do you think about this
limitation?

Actually, you've just reminded me what it was
about the FAST implementation
that I didn't like; and that's the idea of the
passing of the method name
and arguments to the invoke() method strategy.

I don't like the idea of compile-time checking
becoming run-time failures;
ie if "method" does not exist, this will
be caught at run-time not
compile-time.  Similarly, passing arguments
as you do, we lose compile-time
type-checking on the argument list.  Again,
this is a sacrifice that makes
me think "there has to be a better
implementation".

21:30 on a Friday evening is not the time to think
about this; ask me on
Monday :)

What do you think -- you share my concerns ?

Best,

Steven

RE: [flexcoders] Has anyone ever made a card game in Flex

[Philippe Maegerman]

You would need something like Flash Communication Server to 
perform that.
It can hold your game values and functions server-side, so 
that would be secure enough.
 
I think some xmlSocket server can do that as well, but I have no 
experience with such tools.

RE: [flexcoders] Constructor not called when calling

[grady.haynes]

Hi, Chiel.

Could you post some of the code from your  tag whose
constructor wasn't being called?  afaik, the no-args constructor should
have been called; is there a possibility of a typo (or incorrect
capitalization) in the constructor name?  Also, make sure that your
constructor isn't declared with a return type -- otherwise it's not
really a constructor and won't be called!

Your  code isn't working because all statements have to be
inside of a method -- try this instead (note the change of "myClass" to
"MyClass" -- capitalization of class names is strongly encouraged in
AS):





Then, to get createMyClassObject() to be called when your form's
elements are finished being created, add
creationComplete="createMyClassObject()"
as an attribute to your root MXML tag.

HTH.

Subject: [flexcoders] Constructor not called when calling 

Hi all,

I am pretty new at Flex and working on my first project. 
I read some Macromedia tutorials and in one of them they created their
own CalculatorHandler-class and instantiated this through a
 tag in the main mxml file. 

I tried something similar by building my own class and found out the
constructor is not called at all when i instantiate it with a 
tag.

I need this constructor to be called to initialize some of the
properties of my class.
I also tried this code:





but then i get some compilation error "a class's instance variable may
not be initialized to compile-time constant expressions".

Can someone tell me how to create an instance of myClass ?

Thanks in advance,

Chiel Pauw
Amsterdam

Hi all,

I am pretty new at Flex and working on my first project. 
I read some Macromedia tutorials and in one of them they created their
own CalculatorHandler-class and instantiated this through a
 tag in the main mxml file. 

I tried something similar by building my own class and found out the
constructor is not called at all when i instantiate it with a
 tag.

I need this constructor to be called to initialize some of the
properties of my class.
I also tried this code:





but then i get some compilation error "a class's instance variable may
not be initialized to compile-time constant expressions".

Can someone tell me how to create an instance of myClass ?

Thanks in advance,

Chiel Pauw
Amsterdam

I am creating radioButtons dynamically using an array. When I try to
assign the selected value into a Text or TextArea it doesn't work. It seems
that I am using addEventListener correctly since I am able to see the
event.target.data in an Alert.

  This application shows what I mean:

1. The radiobuttons are created out of an array.
2. When you click on any of them you get an Alert showing the data you
have clicked. However, it doesn't change the text of the TextArea.
Eventually I want to assign this value, to some place else.
3. If you execute the same code  txtReceipt.text="Button" - by clicking on
the Button it does change the text.

the code below is runnable and shows the problem ...

Thanks

The best way to test a wedge driver is
with a Text Editor.

 


 Open
 NotePad
 Set
 the focus into Notepad
 Swipe
 a Card, Scan a barcode, Read an RFID.


 

If the wedge driver is working, the reader
should rapidly type a long string of characters into notepad. The string has a
set of delimiters that correspond to encoding. It is very easy to parse these
values into something meaningful with just String.split.

 

It is typical for most input devices to ship
with a wedge driver. This provides the simplest integration as each of these
devices can be viewed as just a very fast keyboard.

[flexcoders] DividedBox BoxDivider width or height

[zipo13]

Hi,
Does anyone know if the width or height of the BoxDivider in the
DividedBox  can be controlled.
The default width of a VDividedBox is a bit fat and I wondered if it
can be reduced.

I did:

var div:mx.containers.dividedboxclasses.BoxDivider = 
myDivider.getDividerAt(0);
div.width = 40;
div.height = 20;

but it didn't seem to do anything.
Any ideas?

Flash can handle these via a standard MS
Keyboard Wedge Driver. We shipped a kiosk with a card reader and the Flash
Player can directly parse data entered. Basically all these devices can be
reduced to keyboard input so when you swipe a card or scan a barcode, it just
types data really fast.

 

Actually I believe I have an example that
does just this very thing…

 

Just put 3 V2 TextInput controls on stage
and name the instances: ti_name, ti_card, ti_date and use this code:

 

Key.addListener(this)


function onKeyDown(){

   
var self = arguments.callee

   
var k = String.fromCharCode(Key.getAscii())

   
if(self.storage == undefined) self.storage=””

   
self.storage = self.storage + k

   
if(self.storage.split("?").length == 3 ){

   
var sname =
self.storage.split("^")[1]   


   
var scardbase =
self.storage.split("?;")[1].split("?")[0].split("=")

   
ti_name.text = sname

   
ti_card.text = scardbase[0]

   
ti_date.text =
scardbase[1]


   
self.storage =
""


   
}  


}

 

This will parse the values from a standard
3 phase credit card reader. In the kiosk that used this we tested cards from
starbucks, visa, amex, subway and all worked perfectly. When each type of
device, you just need to know what to look for in parsing the data received.

 

One less thing for Ethan :)

 

Cheers,

 

Ted J

The Flash Player (along with Flex and AS) should have an

other mechanisms/devices such as:

[flexcoders] SplitPane in Flex

[Shlomi Cohen]

Title: Mercury Email Signature





Hi
 
I need a 
splitpane control in Flex, something with the ability to be closed immediately 
not just dragged to the end.
(like the one we 
have in Flex Builder)
 
i've 
looked into a SplitPane written by Joan Garnet ()
and i 
think this component is only for Flash 
applications.
 
Did 
anyone wrote something similar in Flex ? extended the DividedBox class for example 
?
 
 
thanks
 
Shlomi

Subject: [flexcoders] Validation TextInput

Hi all,

I want a bunch of TextInputs within a form to be required and to
validate against a common mx:Validator. This works fine in general, but
the customer wants that the validation comes up even if someone just
sets the focus to the particular TextInput, doesn't type anything and
immediately removes the focus from that field.

An example would be to just use the tab key to speedo through the
whole form... But obviously, the validation shouldn't trigger before
that (so - not loading a form which is full of failed validations)

To fullfill another requirement (validation during typing) I
subclassed TextInput and made the change Event committing as Steven
and Allister explained in their book on pg. 189:

[ChangeEvent("change")]

So, my idea of triggering the validation for my particular issue
was to broadcast the focusOut event in the subclass as committing
as well:

[ChangeEvent("focusOut")]

But, it doesn't work out. What works is to add

focusOut="mx.validators.Validator.isValid(this,'mymodel.myfield')"

as an attribute to my subclassed MyTextInput. But that doesn't seem
to be the best way doing it as there might be a bunch of input fields,
isn't there a better solution?

Cheers
Kai

RE: [flexcoders] LeftTabNavigator woes (was: Cairngorm woes)

[Steven Webster]

Nate,
 
There is nothing about your problem I can see here that has 
any relation to Cairngorm
 
The error message suggests that there is no method called 
getInstance() on a class that one of your developers has written, called 
LeftTabNavigator.as or LeftTabNavigator.mxml
 
I'd go and look at the code for LeftTabNavigator, and start 
from there...

Hi all,
 
Having a tough time with a cairngorm app that's 
been inherited.  I didn't write the cairngorm adaptation, so I'm a bit 
lost.  This is what we're getting :
 
 
Error C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\bidfly\com\bidfly\view\BrowseViewHelper.as:100 

There is no method with the name 'getInstance'.

100:
var 
  nav:LeftTabNavigator=LeftTabNavigator.getInstance();
  
101:
nav.selectedIndex = 
  nav.getChildIndex(UIObject(view)); 
 
 
The odd part about it is that the same 
code works on another server, or the same server but some setup changes were 
made.
 
Is it possible I need to include some 
of the framework into the user classes area or something?
 
Any help anyone can provide would be 
greatly appreciated and I'll paypal ya so you're next round of brews are on 
me!
 
 
Thanks,

[flexcoders] onKeyDown method cannot capture Escape key

[owls_yang]

Hello all,

I'm working about keyboard shortcuts and want to capture the even 
when Escape key is down. I use this listener to test, most keys work 
fine unless the "Escape". It's on Windows 2000 Professional. Is 
Escape key unavailable for Flex on Windows? 

class mgr.MyKeyListener implements mx.core.MXMLObject {
public var view;

function initialized(document : Object, id : String) : Void 
{
view = document;
}

function createListener() : Void {
Key.addListener(this);
}

function onKeyDown() : Void {
mx.controls.Alert.show(String(Key.getCode
()));
}
}


Thanks very much,

Y. Yang

Re: [flexcoders] Changing the wrongLengthError in a DateValidator

[Kai König]

Hi Matt,

if you're thinking about the validators in general, another thing I'd
love to have is something like a defaultErrorMessage attribute which
automatically sets the value for all the more specific error
attributes if one doesn't specify those in particular.

Cheers
Kai

MC> I think someone else ran into this (maybe Mika?) but I don't
MC> remember if it had a work around.  This is something we're fixing
MC> in 2.0, I don't have a solution for you off the top of my head.

MC> Matt

MC> Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 6:56 AM
MC> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com
MC> Subject: [flexcoders] Changing the wrongLengthError in a DateValidator

MC> Hi all,

MC> another validator-related question:

MC> Having to validate for a date using a DateValidator, the requirements
MC> are to just deliver one validation message if the validation fails.
MC> Following the concept, I'd have to add a long list of attributes to my
MC> validator call, as in:

MC>invalidFormatCharsError="blabla" ... />

MC> So we thought it might be nice to subclass the DataValidator and to
MC> define a defaultErrorMessage which we can pass into our own validator
MC> class and internally, the class is responsible to overwrite the values
MC> of the pre-defined errors.

MC> Works quite good, BUT doesn't work for wrongLengthError. The docs
MC> state:

>>Error message when the length of the date doesn't match that of the
>>inputFormat. Default is "Please type the date in the format
>>inputFormat.".

MC> That means the default error might be something like:
MC> "Please...format mm/dd/"

MC> As far as I understand, I'd expect to be able to overwrite the default
MC> with anything I like, but regardless to what I set the value for
MC> wrongLengthError, Flex always adds the value of inputFormat to my
MC> error message - I end up with something like

MC> "This is my errortext and I want you to type it correct mm/dd/"

MC> This is especially annoying with localized error messages in which the
MC> inputFormat has to be at another place within the error message by
MC> grammar: "Bitte nutzen Sie das Format dd.mm. in diesem Feld".

MC> Is there a way to get rid of the automatic concatenation of the
MC> inputFormat within the wrongLengthError of this validator?

MC> Cheers
MC> Kai
