I've been reading up on Akamai lately for a potential
contract, and I noticed they had some announcements on
support of Flash.

I know their Edge Server logic works through J2EE
middle-tiers...If anyone is working with this and has
more information on how to get an test-bed up and
running I'd appreciate it.  Does anyone know if there
is a .Net solution for the logic between the primary
server and the Akamai Edge Servers?

[flexcoders] Macromedia's Sho Kuwamoto says he put sample code on flex2 site but it's not there

Sho Kuwamoto, from Macromedia, gives a great intro. to
Flex Buildeer 2 in his demo and says at the end he put
the demo code on the site, but it's not anywhere to be
found as far as I can see.

I think his demo is just excellent as an intro. as a
quick starter for FB2.  If anyone knows where that
sample code is, and/or if anyone else is working with
the Flickr API, I'd be very interested in seeing
sample code as I'm focusing on Flex2 for my skills. 
Ordered Studio 8 today and am working with the Alpha
now.

[flexcoders] Does anyone know how to update a datagrid cell once it is set?

2005-10-18 Thread Dan Plesse

Does anyone know how to update a datagrid cell once set?

The data is inside a combo inside a datagrid 

// code I use to init the ComboBox Cell 
private function initCellRenderer() : Void {
var sourceArray = [ "varchar", "smallint", "tinyint", "int", "money",
"float", "datetime", "text"]; 
ComboBoxCellRenderer.dataProvider = sourceArray;
  }

If I can't update this just say so. Thanks Dan

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 mx.events.LowLevelEvents bug(99911) addition

That sounds like this below, from the faq:
***
17. Sometimes, if I don't move the mouse, "click" and "mouseDown" don't
work.
This is a focus issue with the Flash Player, usually when the UI changes
"underneath" the mouse pointer, as in a ViewStack navigation where the
buttons are in the same screen location.

A work around is to add this property to the button tag:

trackAsMenu="true"
***

So I suspect/hope it is fixed in 2.0.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 mx.events.LowLevelEvents bug(99911)
addition

Before I log this, wanted to make sure my logic is correct.

- I have a VBox full of dynamically created children (via createChild).
- those children have the ability to change their index by clicking on
up 
and down arrow buttons
- clicking the button causes the parent to call setChildIndex to adjust
the 
index up or down
- this calls layoutChildren, which in turn re-positions the children...
BUT 
does not update the _mouseTracker that is created via 
mx.events.LowLevelEvents
- if you click again, the mouseUp event still thinks the same child is
the 
target, and thus dispatches this in mouseUp evnets.

Naturally, moving your mouse after clicking fixes it because onMouseMove

gets called twice.

What I did to fix it so you don't have to move your mouse is to
immediately 
call
mx.events.LowLevelEvents.onMouseMove twice after setChildIndex.

Works like a charm, but man, that was HARD to find...!

Is it a confirmed bug and should I file?

I think JRun has a sniffer.exe in the main
jrun bin directory that you could use...

 

I think you would have to methodically
track down what URLs are being used at compile time, what URLs are being used
to host the SWF, what URLs are being used to make data requests. Without
detailed info I can't suggest more than that as it seems that what you're doing
in terms of RemoteObject is fine (as per it working on Tomcat).

Here is the mapping I have for the
AMFGatewayServlet in my flex servers /WEB-INF/web.xml file:

 



    

   
AMFGatewayServlet

   
/amfgateway/*

   


 

As for using a sniffer, NO I haven’t
tried using one.  How might I go about it, what program should I
use…?

 

Also, I have since installed Tomcat and
copied the server I had setup on JRun onto it and “magically” it is
working!  Now, since we know it is not my code or the flex-config.xml
configuration that it must be JRun and/or a conflict with coldfusion. 
I’m not sure how to resolve this issue, and am pretty pissed and
frustrated having found out that everything I needed to do to get my remote
java classes to work was correct.  I would like to still figure out what
the issue is with JRun problem.

 

Thanks,

Jeremy

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Dividing the mailing list into categories

2005-10-18 Thread Manuel Saint-Victor

One question I have and that I hope is not taken in any way as defamatory to this list is:Why are we not using an associated forum.  A forum would be able to be categorized, subcategorized etc - and I repsect that the community has moved to this a s a medium of choice in the case of Flashcoders but when i'm going through HTDig sometimes I can't help but to think that this might have been a little less painful in a good old forum sub- sub -sub category.
Like I said - I don't know enuff of the history to know how it came to be that the list is the tool of choice and I love reading my daly set of list content but the forums-IMHO- are a very familiar medium and are also nice and scalable.

How would you feel if Microsoft hosted their web pages on Linux/Apache

wouldn't give a great impression of their confidence in their own product.

Who, if not Macromedia, has the most knowledgable people of
ColdFusion?  Who, if not Macromedia, should be running a ColdFusion
based Wiki, to not only showcase their product, but to show their
confidence in its use in an enterprise environment.

With a simple Google search today I found a ColdFusion wiki, and I've
downloaded a few others previously. http://www.cdsi-solutions.com/cfwiki/

But hey, that's just my opinion.

Re: [flexcoders] flex 2 & cf

yes, but the adapter updates the gateway stuffs.  According to the
session I sat in recently, it is to include performance enhancements
as well as give the ability to register a CFC VO with an AS VO,
something apparently not doable currenlty.

Please file it if it doesn't work in Flex 2.0. Mouse event handling has
completely changed.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 mx.events.LowLevelEvents bug(99911)
addition

Before I log this, wanted to make sure my logic is correct.

- I have a VBox full of dynamically created children (via createChild).
- those children have the ability to change their index by clicking on
up 
and down arrow buttons
- clicking the button causes the parent to call setChildIndex to adjust
the 
index up or down
- this calls layoutChildren, which in turn re-positions the children...
BUT 
does not update the _mouseTracker that is created via 
mx.events.LowLevelEvents
- if you click again, the mouseUp event still thinks the same child is
the 
target, and thus dispatches this in mouseUp evnets.

Naturally, moving your mouse after clicking fixes it because onMouseMove

gets called twice.

What I did to fix it so you don't have to move your mouse is to
immediately 
call
mx.events.LowLevelEvents.onMouseMove twice after setChildIndex.

Works like a charm, but man, that was HARD to find...!

Is it a confirmed bug and should I file?

Hi Jesse

Been trying to tackle this numerous times in the past and never gotten it to 
work properly.
I usually ended up (you've guessed it) not using the mixin and 
writing/implementing the needed methods/properties in the class
itself. Since I usually didn't need the full functionality of the 
DataSelector it wasn't that big a deal.

I know this doesn't help solve the problem, but maybe it takes away some of 
the frustration ;-)
Been there, done that, doesn't work :/

Re: [flexcoders] Using DataSelector

2005-10-18 Thread Muzak

Hi Jesse

Been trying to tackle this numerous times in the past and never gotten it to 
work properly.
I usually ended up (you've guessed it) not using the mixin and 
writing/implementing the needed methods/properties in the class 
itself. Since I usually didn't need the full functionality of the DataSelector 
it wasn't that big a deal.

I know this doesn't help solve the problem, but maybe it takes away some of the 
frustration ;-)
Been there, done that, doesn't work :/

regards,
Muzak

I assume your question is about Flex 1.5 -- no, there's no way to move
an existing child to another container.

[flex2]
In Flex 2, however, you can change the parent of an object very easily.

  var button:Button = new Button();
  button.label = "OK";
  container1.addChild(button):

  // move to container2 (gets removed from container1)
  container2.addChild(button);

We do this in some places in the framework code, and it can be quite useful.

RE: [flexcoders] RemoteObject call to POJO on JRUN

2005-10-18 Thread Peter Farland






I think JRun has a sniffer.exe in the main jrun bin 
directory that you could use...
 
I think you would have to methodically track down what URLs 
are being used at compile time, what URLs are being used to host the SWF, what 
URLs are being used to make data requests. Without detailed info I can't suggest 
more than that as it seems that what you're doing in terms of RemoteObject is 
fine (as per it working on Tomcat).

Ok, I have again resumed trying to

previous message on this topic, but was not able to get a working answer.  
The PROBLEM: When calling a java class located in {contextroot}\classes\com\obc 
I get a response of Service threw an exception during method invocation: no 
service named com.obc.User known to Flash Remoting MX.  BACKGROUND:  
Flex installed on a Coldfusion MX integrated JRun4 server.  The 
remote-object section of the flex-config file contains the following 


    
{context.root}/amfgateway
 
   
{context.root}/amfgateway

MORE BACKGROUND:  I can make a 
successful call to a coldfusion component as a webservice using 

 
It seems to me that somehow there is 
a conflict with the remoting gateway for coldfusion and the one for flex, but I 
really am not sure how to fix it if it is actually what is causing the problem. 
If anyone has experienced this problem, or knows of a solution I really 
appreciate your suggestions.

RE: [flexcoders] Is it the right way of using dispatchEvent?

2005-10-18 Thread Abdul Qabiz






Look at the following code to figure out what you need 
to do:-

// ActionScript Document

of using dispatchEvent?

Hi Flex coders,
 
Thanks a lot to all group people for solving my problem on "Issue on 
Accordion reference".
 
I am stuck up with one more problem.
 
Here is the problem,
 
I have a simple mxml file which uses a component(circle.as) , extends UIComponent.
OnPress of this circle I want to invoke a method that user has 
provided.
i.e, I included "circle" component in my xmxl in the following way.
 

 
So here "circle" is an as component which has cirPress event 
which has to invoke fun method in mxml file.
 
Here is the code of mxml file:
//**

http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" 
xmlns="*">    
  

//**
Here is component (circle.as)
//**
// ActionScript Documentimport mx.core.UIComponentimport 
mx.utils.Delegateimport mx.events.*class circle extends 
UIComponent{  public var 
dispatchEvent:Function[Embed(source="cir_sym.swf",symbol="cir_sym")] 
  var cir_sym:String;var 
obj:Object  var cirPressfunction 
circle(){  }function 
init():Void{   super.init();   EventDispatcher.initialize(this);  }  function 
draw():Void{ 
   super.draw();  }function 
createChildren():Void{   obj = 
attachMovie("cir_sym","cir_sym",1);   addEventListener("cirPressed",Delegate.create(this,tempFun))  } 
function tempFun(){   eval("_root."+cirPress).call()  }function 
onPress():Void{dispatchEvent({type:"cirPressed"})  }   } 

//**
 
Here the above works well!!!
But problem is I shouldnt use "_root." to 
invoke the method! (coz method my be in a class/somewhere. 
So everytime method may not be in 
root)
 
 
And please suggest me, is it the right way of using 
dispatchEvent()?
I really appreciate one's help on "how to use 
dispatchEvent in appropriate way".
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Regards,
Ramu

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Ok, im lost with Flex 2

Just double-checked and it's not showing a compiler error any more and seems to run fine.

I'm 90% sure I've seen it in other code I've played with though.

I'll file a bug if I see it again and try to figure out some sort of way to reproduce it.

It should have both events. Please file a bug if that's not the case.

I have modified your code
so it now compiles and runs without error.

There really weren't too many different things that were broken, just a lot of
repetition of the same 4 or 5 problems.

I'll try to summarize the ones I remember:

* Applciation tag doesn't have an initialize event any more, use
creationComplete
* Not sure if this would cause a problem, but I haven't initialized any of the
bindable variables. I would do that in initFunction()
* All the bindable variables needed a [Bindable] statement on the preceding
line.
* I added the functions to the actionscript manually rather than copying your
actionscript file, so it's possible that one or more of the function signatures
was wrong. It's also possible that there was nothing wrong with them at all.

I'll try to attach to the code to this message. If the list doesn't accept
attachments I'll email it to you off list.

Hehe, ya, my boss was sitting on the fence between Flex 1.5 and Flash 8 
for this major "application", luckily the news about 2 came out in time 
to tip things as he had stoped my development on 1.5 and was about to 
have me start using Flash 8 instead.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2.0 - Arrays vs. Collections

2005-10-18 Thread Deepa Subramaniam

I'm so glad someone is venturing into the world of collections, and I
encourage the rest of you to do so :) 

A few points that will help you out as you continue to use collections:

-You can still pass in a plain old Array as the dataProvider to
list-based components. Internally, we wrap that as an ArrayCollection. 

-The Flex 1.5 IDataProvider interface is now gone. The dataProviders of
list-based components are now of type ICollectionView. You need to use
the collection-related methods (methods on IList and ICollectionView) to
modify and query the data. The ASDocs will be your friends here.
Remember, when going through the dataProvider property to modify the
underlying data, you will need to cast the dataProvider as IList or
ICollectionView depending on which methods you will be calling. 

-As for what is the difference between ICollectionView and IList - think
of IList as a straightforward, simple interface for describing a linear
randomly-accessible collection. ICollectionView is more generic then
IList and provides broader functionality like sorting, ranging,
filtering (not yet in the Alpha), and navigation via an IViewCursor.  

Happy collections-ing - we're eager for feedback!

It should have both events. Please file a bug if that's not the case.

I have modified your code
so it now compiles and runs without error.

There really weren't too many different things that were broken, just a lot of
repetition of the same 4 or 5 problems.

I'll try to summarize the ones I remember:

* Applciation tag doesn't have an initialize event any more, use
creationComplete
* Not sure if this would cause a problem, but I haven't initialized any of the
bindable variables. I would do that in initFunction()
* All the bindable variables needed a [Bindable] statement on the preceding
line.
* I added the functions to the actionscript manually rather than copying your
actionscript file, so it's possible that one or more of the function signatures
was wrong. It's also possible that there was nothing wrong with them at all.

I'll try to attach to the code to this message. If the list doesn't accept
attachments I'll email it to you off list.

Agreed.  It's pretty difficult to compete with 
free.  That said, leading an open source project can be a good career move, 
so maybe someone in the CF community will come up with 
one.

Having spent enough time on mailing lists over the years, I think it

God help the poor people who come along, new to Flex 1.5, 3 months from
now only to find that half the messages since MAX don't even apply to

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Dividing the mailing list into categories

This setup works well in Flash; Flashcoders handles component & ActionScript 
coding issues where as Flashnewbie handles anything not advanced.  There are 
a bunch of smart people on Flashnewbie, and everyone pitches in to help.

What Flexcoders, though, really needs is a clear division between tasks, not 
just skillset.  For exmaple, Flex Enterprise Services are what most of the 
Enterprise customers on this list will care about, whereas those Flashers 
who finally see the f'ing light, will just be asking MXML & component 
questions.  Flashcom for example was setup so Flash Communication Server 
questions weren't asked on Flashcoders, or Flashnewbie.  This works well as 
each has a nice community going on.

If it were up to me, I'd say:
Flexcoders = stays as is
Flexserver = deals with enterprise services

Most of the Flash devs incoming will get up to speed pretty quickly, and 
there are already plenty of experienced Flex devs on Flashcoders.

Besides, we're at version 1.5, not 8 like the Flash community is.  The 
influx of n00bs to this list is what makes it fun in my opinion.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Macromedia Labs site

I'm not totally convinced that there would be significant uptake for a CF wiki.

I was looking for one a few weeks ago and ended up going with mediaWiki
too. I'm no PHP guru, but it only took about an hour to get everything
set up including installing PHP and getting the database setup.

With that knowledge it would be very hard for me to justify paying for one and I'm sure I'm not alone.

I'm sure some people would buy it, but I doubt if you'd get back the money you spent developing it.

their core products, as opposed to pulling CF guys off of CF8 to make a
CF based wiki which would be totally sunk cost unless they plan to sell
it as a product. Financially it wouldn't make sense.

[flexcoders] Re: Dividing the mailing list into categories

Hehehe *raises hand as Flex Newbie*

But I have been using Flash and Actionscript for 5+ years and have 
been coding CF since it's first Beta release.  Plus I have a Degree 
in Business Computer Programing where I was fully educated in OOP 
with C++.

I understand what you are saying, and there is a valid logic to it.  
There is a flaw to it as well.  Its kinda like those party lines you 
call to "meet a hot babe" and all that you find is a bunch of guys.  
If you put all the n00bs like me in one room, and the experts in 
another, it will just be people who don't have any answers asking 
questions of people who don't have any answers. rofl

Don't take any of my most recent posts wrong, I agree that Flex is 
great.  We have an entire project, grant, and I have an offer for me 
to go to full time state emp specificaly because of Flex2.  Its just 
frusterating as it seems most of the syntax etc I learned with Flex 
1.5 is just causing errors now.

I would have grave doubts that creating an all n00b area would 
benifit the n00bs, though I am sure it would benifit the pros :)  
Just my 2000 cents :D

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 - Arrays vs. Collections

2005-10-18 Thread Ashish Goyal

I think the doc is pretty explainatory.. To further explain it, You can
still use an Array as dataProvider but any changes in the dataprovider
array won't update the control. If you want your control (DataGrid, List
etc.) to reflect the changes then you need to use Collection (There is
an ArrayCollection). 

Example:

 // Won't update the
DataGrid if you change element 1 from a to aa.

 // Will
update the DataGrid if you change element 1 from a to aa.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Dividing the mailing list into categories

2005-10-18 Thread Manuel Saint-Victor




I've brought this up before and I'm going to go out on a limb again and suggest that we maybe create a Flex 2 noobs mailing list.  I say this because I think that in the coming weeks there is going to be a deluge of members to here that a)are brand spanking new to Flex and even Flash b) Haven't really read the posting etiquette or become familiar with searching previous posts c)are just dabbling etc.
I think it will make it a lot more readable and usable a list if those who are at least working with 1.5 for production level projects that will continue can be spared our posts of "Hello help I'm oblivious".  Last time I mentioned this it was more motivated by the sense that newbies needed a place to ask for help and then be directed to the docs or a Google search while the more knowledgeable guys can have a more productive environment.  Before I believe that as pointed out to me -Flex's developer population was not yet at critical mass for this kind of partitioning.  I have the feeling that this week will change that. 
 Either way I think that this Flex 2 is the best thing since indoor plumbing.  The workflow is fluid, the docs are light and informative and I very well might need a relationship counselor in the next few weeks or someone to keep my fiancee at whatever venue so that we don't have to break up while I stay glued to this computer.

Re: [flexcoders] flex 2 & cf

I haven't installed the CF adapter, but just in case you weren't
already aware, you can do webservice and http calls without it.

You only need it for flash remoting calls.

Haven't heard of any problems with it elsewhere though.

[flexcoders] Re: Ok, im lost with Flex 2

Ya. I understand that, but it seems like they threw the baby out with 
the bathwater and dumped everything they had done up to Flex 1.5 and 
started from scratch and just haven't built back up to even the level 
of the previous version.

And I looked at that page first thing, and made all the changes, and 
still ended up with 100s of errors.  I have also looked at the new 
Flex 2 Explorer and gone though the code in the as files it uses, and 
even when I include the same things they do, I get errors.

1.5 I had a fairly intricate and function application working, 2 and 
im having to start with the hello world tutorials to try and figure 
out why things are not working.  I would stick with 1.5 at this point 
but we specificaly need to have the ability to create SWFs vs being 
dependent on the server, plus the trial only has 26 more days and we 
aint spending the money for 1.5 when 2 should be gold by the first 
half of next year.  So I am frusterated right now.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Macromedia Labs site

2005-10-18 Thread Tariq Ahmed







I think there's a business opportunity to create a CF based Wiki; I've
had to integrate a PHP one because there aren't any good CF based ones
out there.

But I just want to comment that for MACR to make one; the decision
would be to divert resources. Frankly I'd rather see MACR focusing on
their core products, as opposed to pulling CF guys off of CF8 to make a
CF based wiki which would be totally sunk cost unless they plan to sell
it as a product. Financially it wouldn't make sense.

How would you feel if Microsoft hosted their web pages on Linux/Apache
instead of Windows/IIS?  Or developed Office in Delphi?  It just
wouldn't give a great impression of their confidence in their own product.

Who, if not Macromedia, has the most knowledgable people of
ColdFusion?  Who, if not Macromedia, should be running a ColdFusion
based Wiki, to not only showcase their product, but to show their
confidence in its use in an enterprise environment.

With a simple Google search today I found a ColdFusion wiki, and I've
downloaded a few others previously. http://www.cdsi-solutions.com/cfwiki/

But hey, that's just my opinion.

I didnt even install the adapter. And I have been able to get 3 apps
working with cf with little to no problem. And if I did have an error
it was normally something small that was easily fixed. I really dont
seen a big change with flex2/cf at all. But then again I may be
missing alot. 

Did you follow the adapter instructions completely. And yes you do
need the standalone builder from what I understand.

RE: [flexcoders] De-Select on Tree does not fire change event

2005-10-18 Thread Deepa Subramaniam











Hey Stacy –

 

The change event event fires only as a result of
user interaction. So if you’re de-selecting a node by changing the tree’s
selectedIndex or selectedItem properties programmatically, you will not receive
an event. 

 

There are a few ways to get around this. You may
want to watch for changes to the Tree’s selectedItem/selectedIndex properties
(read: binding) or the easier thing would be for you to manually dispatch a
change event when the de-selection occurs programmatically. 

 

If the de-selection is occurring by user interaction
(ctrl + click), then I’m seeing the change event fire when selection and
de-selection occurs. Of course that is in the case of multipleSelection=”true”.
If multipleSelection is not enabled, you’ll want to watch for a change
event on another node to register that the currently selected node is not
selected anymore.

 

HTH, 

deepa

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2: Passing to a PopupWindow

2005-10-18 Thread Doodi, Hari - BLS CTR











I think the best way to pass values to
popup window is to use init object methodology.

Declare variables in myPopup.mxml

For example 

    var firstName:String;

    var
lastName:String;

 

In the parent mxml file

Create an object. Assign values to above
said attributes.

Example

    var
initObj:Object = new Object();

    initObj.firstName
= “zz”; //
should match variable declared in myPopup.mxml

    initObj.lastName
= “xxx”;   // should match
variable declared in myPopup.mxml

 

then pass this initObj 

 

var popupWindow:TitleWindow = TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,
myPopup, true,initObj)); 

 

 



Thanks! 
Hari

dp.addItem({dataType:"tinyInt", dataType:"Double"});
ComboBoxCellRenderer.setDataProvider(dp);
 
Error message:
There is no method with the name 'setDataProvider'

And this 

var dp = new mx.central.data.DataProviderClass();
 dp.addItem({dataType:"tinyInt", dataType:"Double"});
 ComboBoxCellRenderer.dataProvider = dp;

No error

And This: 

var dp = new mx.central.data.DataProviderClass();
 dp.addItem({dataType:"tinyInt", dataType:"Double"});
 ComboBoxCellRenderer.dataProvider.setDataProvider(dp);

No error:

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to reference a child component

Well, ok, but components are not in "directories". The components source
code may exist anywhere as long as the compiler can find it.  Once
compiled, the components exist in a hierarchical structure defined by
the mxml code, and that is entirely unrelated to the locations of the
source code.

There are several ways to pass data between components, and it is
slightly different depending on whether the component is a pop-up, is
loaded by mx:Loader or mx:Image, or is declared in mxml.  It is also
different depending on which way you want to pass the data, parent to
child or child to parent.  It also depends oh whether you intend to bind
a control to the data.

Since you mention pop-ups, see this link for a full example.

how would you send data between Comp_Level_1 and Comp_Level_2 if 
Comp_Level_1 is a component in Main and Comp_Level_2 is a pop up

I want to get an idea how to call components that area several levels

The fillColors style can be set on the TabNavigator itself and will

Flex apps do not
follow the page-based model like HTML.  You _can_

link to another
page on your website in Flex using the Link component,

but it's not the
recommended way of doing apps.  Personally I'd just

put in the
pictures into another view.  Have you seen the ViewStack

component?

 

Anyway, here's
how you set up a Link:

[flexcoders] TabNavigator styles

2005-10-18 Thread Jose Quiles

Hi,

I have two TabNavigator on the same application, and I need to use
different fill colors for the Tabs on each of them.

Anyone knows how to do it?

Thanks a lot!

[flexcoders] Re: Macromedia Labs site

2005-10-18 Thread charlespaz1

I recognized it as MediaWiki, and I understand PHP is a great tool, I
use it myself when the project calls for it.  I have nothing against
Macromedia using PHP if it is the right tool for the job.   However,
as the "15th Billionth" person to comment on this, I find the
impression that it gives in this case an unsettling one.

How would you feel if Microsoft hosted their web pages on Linux/Apache
instead of Windows/IIS?  Or developed Office in Delphi?  It just
wouldn't give a great impression of their confidence in their own product.

Who, if not Macromedia, has the most knowledgable people of
ColdFusion?  Who, if not Macromedia, should be running a ColdFusion
based Wiki, to not only showcase their product, but to show their
confidence in its use in an enterprise environment.

With a simple Google search today I found a ColdFusion wiki, and I've
downloaded a few others previously. http://www.cdsi-solutions.com/cfwiki/

But hey, that's just my opinion.

Re: [flexcoders] Vector images versus Bitmaps in Flex (and transparency)

1.  Nope.  Vector images take more CPU to render, and in pre-Flash 8, they 
are constantly redrawn.  So, too, are raster graphics (bitmaps), but they do 
not require using the internal vector-to-pixel rendering engine; more RAM, 
less CPU.

Yes; use bitmaps when you can.

2. You can:
- utilize Flash, output a SWF and embed into Flex
- utilize Illustrator, import the AI into Flash, and repeat the above
- utilize Illustrator, or another program, output SVG, and import into Flex
- utilize one of the open source drawing packages, and have them render the 
drawing at runtime (DENG for example)

Don't know about commandline.

3. Correct; if you load your Flex SWF into Flash Player 8, however, it'll 
support PNG's & GIF's.

GIF's don't bode well into Flash, mainly because their palletes are 8bit, 
and sometimes transparency throws older versions of the Flash Player off. 
Suffice it to say, if you utilize Flex to import, you should be fine.

Subject: [flexcoders] Vector images versus Bitmaps in Flex (and 
transparency)


We have a number of transparent images that we'd like to display in
Flex.  I know that Flash is at heart a vector engine, so it suggests
that performance of vector images will be much better than bitmaps.

1) Are vector images typically faster than bitmaps?  I suspect there
are  a number of situations in which bitmaps will be smaller and/or
faster.

2) How does one get vector images with a transparent background into
Flex?  I'm talking about the "production process" and not the @embed
swf syntax.  Assume the images will be coming from Adobe Illustrator.
 I assume that there are ways to do this with and without the Flash
Authoring tool.  Ideally there is a command line process?

3) From what I can tell, if we want transparency and the ability to
load these on the fly, they must be swf's.  (GIF's need to be embedded
and FP7 does not support transparent JPEG's).Is this true?  If I
convert the transpent GIF's to a SWF, do I lose anything?

Re: [flexcoders] Using DataSelector

My solution until someone tells me of a better one (not to use mixins 
doesn't count).

public static var mixinModifyCall = mixinModify();

private static function mixinModify():Void
 {
  EditableForm.prototype.oldDataSelectorModelChanged = 
EditableForm.prototype.modelChanged;
  EditableForm.prototype.modelChanged = function()
  {
   this.oldDataSelectorModelChanged.apply(this, arguments);
   onModelChanged.apply(this, arguments);
  };

Flex 1.5: I'm trying to utilize DataSelector without extending.  However, I
am stuck on how to get a modelChanged event from the same class that
utilizes the DataSelector mixin.  In the past I have solved this by using
the mixin on a base class, and extending that.  In this case, however, I
don't want to do that because that would mean having to use DataSelector on
VBox.

I've looked into how ScrollSelectList does it, but List and others that
actually utilize the modelChange event are merely getting it from their
super-class even though that super class doesn't get it till runtime.  He
does subscribe to the modelChange event generated from the dataProvider in
his' init method, but when trying that in my class, no go.

I can get the first modelChanged event when the dataProvider is set
externally by doing the following:

addEventListener("modelChanged", Delegate.create(this, onModelChanged));

The only solution I can think of is to use composition, but it shouldn't be
this hard to subscribe to an event...

$30,000 for 4 cpu package.
If you buy flex you get flexbuilder for free. *I think*

Hi there,
if I understood your question well. What you need todo is that use the RELATIVE PATH i.e like this "../" doing ../ will getyou the component which is upper level directory. 

  As for youexample if you want to call Comp_Level_1 from Comp_Level_2 then do"../Comp_Level_1". you will be able to access this. 

mail us if youhave any more queries.

[flexcoders] Maximizing to fullscreen a component

2005-10-18 Thread Stephane De Jonckheere

Hi,
I'm currently trying to enhance the Christophe's pods.
I'd like to add some "Fullscreen" feature:
When clicking on the Fullscreen button, the panel is taking the whole
browser screen overlapping everything.

I managed to do that by using createChild() and instanciating a new Panel
which I refill with the previously entered data (when the panel was in
normal mode).
But as our application will be huge and will contains tons of "Panel". I'd
like to reuse the existing panel instance and replace its parent by the main
layout (there can be a indefinite number of layers between the panel and the
main layout aka any "fullscreenable" panel should be capable to overlap
everything without carring about its depth in the application).

Aren't there some method or component that support some "addExistingChild"
method?

Stephane De Jonckheere,
EIM SA,
Switzerland
