RE: [flexcoders] Caingorm Tutorials or HowTos
Jordan, We first presented many of these patterns in Cairngorm in the ActionScript 2.0 Dictionary; if you go to the following blog entry, you'll be able to download the relevant chapter from that book as a free PDF: http://www.richinternetapps.com/archives/000128.html There's also a talk I gave at MAX last year, for which the slides are available as a Breeze presentation: http://www.richinternetapps.com/archives/000124.html There was another MAX talk this year, which I'm presenting again in Hong Kong this month; as soon as I've presented the talk in Hong Kong, I'll record it as a Breeze presentation and post details to the list. Since MAX this year, a number of people have stepped forward wanting to contribute to Cairngorm, including the writing of some more whitepapers and technical documentation; if there's anything specific that you want, drop me a note off-list and we'll see if we can identify someone that might be able to write something.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2:Package/Class problem
Well that definatly clears up a few things that were confusing me. Basicaly what I am doing is that we have several intrAnet applications that we are trying to create a central reporting system for. In all cases the reports will be based on a person or list of people. We have a tabed interface where the first tab lets the manager build the list of people. They can do this either by searching for and selecting individual people which builds a list of people's unique campus wide ID, or using departments and department codes, or eventually companies and company codes. When you click on the next tab it takes whichever type of list the manager built and generates a list of whatever in a dataGrid. You can then double click on a row and it uses a accordian to show a viewstack with all the details for that record. However instead of coding the visual part all in one mxml file I have a main mxml file with the search, then each additional tab I have in a seperate mxml file as a component. So in the tabNavigator I simply add lines like local:otdTab id=otdTabHandle/ When I am inside one of the components I want to access the same doubleclick function I use in the main mxml. However since the as file the doubleclick code is in is included in the main mxml the component can't see the function. I have to add the mx.core.Application.application. in order for the component to see it. So what I would rather do is just be able to add a include or something in the component making the functions already loaded in the main file available to the component file. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Roger Gonzalez [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This seems like you're talking about a couple different things here. I'm not sure I understand where mx.core.Application.application comes into it. You can do the same thing with source as you can with a SWC; Make a new directory tree, looks like you're using mrstd. Then, you'll make one source file per class (that you are currently putting in one file). Name the source file the same as the classname. BTW - several of your utility functions should probably really be static - there's no reason to create a class instance just to call a function when there are no vars on the object! Add the directory one level above the mrstd directory to your actionscript-classpath (either via the flex-config file or by setting it in FlexBuilder; Project ActionScript Build Path Class path. When you want to use these classes from some other file, just do import mrstd.*; Use the classes as you would expect. This should get you most of the way there. Ok, so what if you want to hand your mrstd classes off to someone else? Or maybe you don't want to keep compiling them? That's when you need a SWC. Unfortunately, the alpha build of FlexBuilder doesn't have any SWC support built-in, so you need to drop down to the command line. Run compc.exe -i source source source -o mrstd.swc Go back into FlexBuilder, and remove the mrstd directory from the classpath, and add the mrstd.swc file to the library path tab.

Most of them I use in .as files not .mxml files. And the ones I use in the .mxml files I usually use as function calls. Like for a grid column that contains a date, I use the dateFunction parameter and give the function name. I have looked at the interface and class builder wizards.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2:Package/Class problem
When I am inside one of the components I want to access the same doubleclick function I use in the main mxml. However since the as file the doubleclick code is in is included in the main mxml the component can't see the function. I have to add the mx.core.Application.application. in order for the component to see it. The key here is to stop thinking about it as inclusion. That will lead to very brittle applications where you can't easily write reusable code. What you need to do is to have your application pass a reference to either your application or pieces of your application down to your helper classes. One option is to simply pass a reference to a particular Function down to your helper code. However, I prefer using interfaces; here's an example: I'm going to skip a lot of syntactic sugar (imports and package and whatnot) in order to try to type this in this lousy email IDE. No promises that it will actually work, I haven't tested this because Microsoft Outlook doesn't have a run button. :-) // IGreeting.as - interface for things that know how to print greetings public interface IGreeting { function get greet():String; } // World.as - a little object that uses the services of a greeter public class World { public function set greeting( greeting:IGreeting ):Void { _greeting = greeting; } public function get print():String { return _greeting.greet + world; } private var _greeting:IGreeting; } // MyApp.mxml - an app that implements the IGreeting interface and lets // its services be used by the World object. (Could just as easily be an .as app!) mx:Application implements=IGreeting initialize=setup() mx:Script private var world:World = new World(); private function setup():Void { world.greeting = this; } public function get greet() { return hello; } /mx:Script mx:Button label={world.print} / /mx:Application So, if I were writing this stuff, I might not want to have the IGreeting implementation in the app, I might want to reuse that as well. So, lets treat it as a sort of mixin... // HelloGreeter.as public class HelloGreeter implements IGreeting { public function get greet() { return hello; } } Just for kicks, lets add a different IGreeting implementation. // HowdyGreeter.as public class HowdyGreeter implements IGreeting { public function get greet() { return howdy; } } // MyApp.mxml - mostly the same app, except this one delegates the greetings. // We'll also make it so it can change greeters on the fly mx:Application initialize=setup() mx:Script private var world:World; private function setup():Void { world = new World(); world.greeting = new HelloGreeter(); } private function change():Void { world.greeting = new HowdyGreeter(); } /mx:Script mx:Button label={world.print} / mx:Button label=change the greeting click=change() / /mx:Application All of the reusable classes (IGreeting, HelloGreeter, HowdyGreeter, World) could easily be put off in a dedicated package hierarchy so that they could be shared between multiple apps.

Re: [flexcoders] Start Project with Flex 1.5 or Flex 2.0
No deadline? PIMP! I'd use Flex 1.5, and convert to 2.0 when she's solid. I was originally under the impression that porting an app required an inordinate amount of time, but was correct yesterday. ActionScript only projects, a.k.a. Flash, take longer because they are heavy in ActionScript. However, since MXML hasn't changed much in Flex 2, there is very little you have to do. Additionally, since the components underneath abstract it, much of it still works as intended. As far as ActionScript, as long as you type cast correctly, the only thing you have to do in 2 is declare your bindings explicitly by adding some additional, small code.

I would second Jesse's comment. Unless there are showstoppers that are preventing you from using Flex 1.5, you should work on that version while studying Flex 2 to reduce your migration costs.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 1.5 - n checkboxes
Hi Richard, I recently completed a project in which we had to dynamically build form selection elements based on different control types (eg. checkboxes, radio buttons, etc...). The data model we worked with provided us with the string name of the control type to use, and the appropriate data structure to populate the control type(s). Solution I came up with was to (as you mention you might have to do) create the form elements using actionscript, more specifically the createChild method. I created a custom instance of each control type, and added some additional properties to it, the most important being the data property it needed to affect. Inside the custom control, I had my change event directly modify the data property that was passed in. Because the reference was passed in, this essentially bound that change to the data model it came from. Problem solved. Your requirements may be slightly different as it sounds like you already know what type of control you need to render. In this case, I would imagine you could use a repeater tag and have it's children be the custom check box you're creating, and pass in the object property reference that needs to be changed. Hope this helps you... Brendan --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Richard Rodseth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, as I mentioned, I am using the repeater tag.

RE: [flexcoders] script time warning and Flash Player 8
Well, rats. Thanks guys. Since this particular app is so unusual, and moving this process to the server is on the roadmap, this particular client (me too, I guess) will either need to keep the development machine on FP7, or deal with the 2-3 timeout prompts. I am already using the state variable / doLater strategy to give the user some feedback, but apparently a few of the 200 steps are still too big. Thanks again.

Guess that means youre going to need to do some tricks like Jesse showed, and in your case since youre building a massive tree I think this means youre going to need to basically - build some nodes - store temporary state to instance variables - call doLater using your main function (you can pass parameters to doLater too) - at some point your method executes the last time and you dont need to doLater anymore you can put up a blocker and show the busy cursor while youre doing this too (though using a progress bar might be nicer) Matt From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 4:33 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] script time warning and Flash Player 8 I got the latest from the MM site and it did not respect my settings.

RE: [flexcoders] Loading a Flash 8 compiled AS 2.0 class into a Flex app and instantiate it
Classes are actually just magic definitions on _global. If you were to look at the decompiled code that sets up a new class, you'd see something like: if (!_global.SomeClass) { _global.SomeClass = ... } So, it goes out of its way to not redefine classes. First one in wins. (Sidebar: Flex 2 and Flash 8.5 provide a more sophisticated mechanism using ApplicationDomain to let you better partition or share class defs, however you like.) Now, it also turns out that you're kind of in trouble here - cross-SWF definitions get really weird in FP7 and below. AS code and assets follow different rules. The assets in the child are really only visible when instantiated from a code context springing from the child itself. Its maddening! (Hence part of the reason for making it sane in Flash 8.5!) SWFs loaded as RSLs are a special case in FP8 and below. Maybe you can exploit that... compile against a Flex stub, then sub in the Flash version at runtime? Remember not to touch any Flex classes from inside Flash, you need to basically partition things. You can try digging up the Flex4Flash.zip file and pulling out the Flex components for compiling in Flash, but there are a lot of scary gotchas with that. Anyway, this is a really cool direction to check out, let us know if you have any luck! -Roger Roger Gonzalez mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Eismann Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 8:39 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Loading a Flash 8 compiled AS 2.0 class into a Flex app and instantiate it Hi, I'm having a hard time figuring out what happens here. I want to load Flash 8 bytecode into my Flex 1.5 application to gain access to FP8 features (the app runs on FP8, SWF8 gets loaded into Flex app by using mx.controls.Loader) but this only works to a certain degree. Instead of putting all functionality directly into the timeline of the SWF8 file and call those functions from Flex by doing loader.content.someFunction(), the SWF should really only act as a library for AS 2.0 classes. I only want to place something like foo.bar.MyClass; into the first frame of the SWF8 source file to get the class compiled in - this should be sufficient, right? Now, in my Flex 1.5 application I load the external SWF8 file and after it got loaded I want to create a new instance of foo.bar.MyClass (the SWF8 version of course) So in my Flex 1.5 code I have something like this private function swfLoaded():Void { var foo:foo.bar.MyClass = new foo.bar.MyClass(); } this of course compiles foo.bar.MyClass into the Flex 1.5 SWF file - but I thought that loading in the SWF8 file would somehow overwrite the bytecode with the new version... Now the big question is: during runtime, which version of the class will be instantiated? The class that got compiled into the SWF7 file or the newly loaded version of the SWF8 file? Any thoughts?

RE: [flexcoders] AnimationPackage
What does the animation package do? I'm interested in xml type models for high-end media (ala DirectX sort of model; though I though it would have a long way to go, I'm sure there is great room for Macromedia to do this in a model shared by Tiger and 'longborn'). I've noticed that ZAM3D (makers of Swift; Zam being a product supporting such an xml type 3d model) started out voicing support for both Flash and Avalon; now they seem to be almost exclusively focusing on Avalon. That bugs me because I know how people have been talked into exclusing others (the company I worked at for 7 years an MS guy came by and offered 'incentives' for not supporting Netscape or Linux). Any news on this Sho or Matt or any Macr guys on here? I work a lot with DAZ3D products and am familiar with Python scripting and Poser animation and others; would be interested in working with any technology for character and environment animation. I just love what Macromedia is doing -- like this kind of fresh air has been so need O/S app. development for 15 years and now it's finally happening...not so much the idea of screw ms, but Screw MS's methods of dominance; I'm a Mac and PC user, I love both, and Macromedia is the best viable platform for both in this web age now becoming hi-media. -r --- Tracy Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I seem to recall reading here that that class was developed for a client and the source was not publicly available.

[flexcoders] Inverted DataGrid
Title: Inverted DataGrid Hi, Does anybody know a way to define rows instead of columns for a datagrid ? I have a DataProvider (an array of objects called loansArray) which is created like this. var objOne:Object = new Object(); objOne.mortgage = {prodId:19, productCode:30J, monthlyPayment:1000, interestRate:6.255}; loansArray[0]=objOne; var objTwo:Object = new Object(); objTwo.mortgage = {prodId:20, productCode:5/1, monthlyPayment:2000, interestRate:6.256}; loansArray[1]=objTwo; This data provider would have been perfect if I had to create a DataGrid like this prodId productCode monthlyPayment interestRate 19 30J 10006.255 20 5/1 20006.256 However I need to create a DataGrid which looks like this prodId 19 20 productCode 30J 5/1 monthlyPayment 1000 2000 intersetRate 6.255 6.256 How can I do this ?

RE: [flexcoders] Embed Flash 8 swf in Flex 1.5
No, please see my comments in a previous thread. Flex 1.5's SWF parseris incapable of parsing the new Flash 8 tags. Unfortunately, you can't just avoid the new tags, because Studio 8 writes fancy-schmancy new tags for all shapes and fonts. Dirk Eismann is trying a runtime-based approach that will be cool if it worksthough, basically making an AS2 facade over the FP8 features in a separate SWF.

Re: [flexcoders] Inverted DataGrid
Title: Inverted DataGrid Daman, Short answer is here ;-) - just rotate the array.

[flexcoders] Problem dynamically creating text controls
We have an application where we are dynamically creating various controls in containers in a viewstack. If a text control is created in a non-visible layer of the viewstack, the height of the control is not correct. This only happens for text controls in 1.5. It does not seem to happen in 2.0.

[flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?
Gidday everyone, Years back, I wrote php scripts with code embedded in the html and it led to maintenance hassles. Since then, I've migrated to Java and now .NET and what I liked about their models was the ability to separate the code into code-behind, something done quite elegantly in ASP.NET. These eliminated a lot of the maintenance problems I'd encountered earlier with PHP. So when I saw macromedia's examples of mxml with mx:Script.../mx:Script blocks embedded directly into the mxml,I immediately searched for a way to avoid this. I found that i could add a source=.. attribute to the mx:Script element and the AS code would be included by the compiler from an external file at compile time. The IDE was even smart enough that any elements I'd defined with id attributes in the mxml showed up with intellisense in the included AS file (I am using Flex Builder 2, not sure if FB1.5 had that feature or not). But now I'm having second thoughts. It kinda feels like going against thegrain. I don't want to carry old biases into a new paradigm unnecessarily. I read an article by Aral Balkan (of ARP fame) endorsing the code-behind approach quite strongly, but by the same token, all sample apps from the Cairngorm team freely mix mxml and AS code, as do examples from macromedia themselves. I note though, that the Cairngorm framework itself is all pure AS; it is only the sample apps that use inline actionscript. I can't seem to find a best practice anywhere, because for every framework/example/article I find that seems to hint at one way of doing things, I find another one that suggests the opposite! Has anyone else with more Flex experience than me answered this question, particularly in terms of which approach is easier to maintain? At this stage, any hintswould be appreciated!

Re: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?
This sucked royally in 1.5. You had to make your AS file a class, AND you had to define the control variables in the AS; meaning, if you used a button with an id of "my_pb", you had to import the mx.controls.Button class, and define the private var my_pb:Button up top... for every damn control. Lame. I know a lot of people find this way of development extremely alien, ecspecially from a Flash development background, but you fall in love eventually. The Cairngorm work my fellow employee's use, however, uses the same approach; external AS filesfor a lot of MXML files. Me personally, in 1.5 land, enjoy AS MXML in one file. I don't, currently, utilize ViewHelpers on any project and had to work into getting used to this. However, it feels great to have my controls my code that handles their event dispatching right there. Guys at work use a lot of code seperation, mainly with very simple ViewHelpers. When it was shown to me, it made a lot of sense as to why you would do that, but I still have the feeling that, for me, my business delegates to massage the data into a globally usable format; an array of objects. So, ViewHelpers, at least currently, seem very unusable to me, thus, I'd still keep AS inline. Things could change. Additionally, most of my projects are new, fresh, and disposable. If we ever were to add features to any of the project(s) I'm working on, it'd be a re-write, so maintaence isn't a consideration. When I compare the amount of Views I have compared with some of the existing applications I've seen at the company I'm contracting with, I realize I'm making extremely complex components that fit into larger applications, so maybe my skillset as a Flash component developer is making me subjective in the maintance realm. ...all I know is, I can open old MXML files I've done in the past, and 1 file clearly shows how it works to me; at least for Views; Application.mxml Controller classes are usually tied into ARP or Cairngorm, so you have to do more digging, but that's usually a lot of ActionScript anyway. Personally, I feel we are still developing best practices. Originally, most Flex developers I felt were Enterprise JSP/Java developers who had a paradigm of thinking and Cairngorm worked well in that. With the influx of .NET/ASP, Flash, and traditional web developers, I think things may keep changing for awhile. - Original Message - From: Julian Suggate To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 10:31 PM Subject: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?

RE: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?
Guilty. The examples in the Flex documentation usually mix AS and MXML... but we do this mostly for readability.Plus, we want people to be able to just copy a sample out of the doc and paste it into a file and run it -- without worrying about file structures, relative vs absolute paths, etc. This doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve on the samples somehow... matt horn flex docs From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Julian SuggateSent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 10:31 PMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?

RE: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?
You might want to search the archives, we had a long chat about this recently. The conclusion that I personally push is to avoid relying on script source inclusion but rather to either a) create custom base classes and derive your MXML components from them, and/or b) aggregate helper objects, and/or c) factor the MXML into metacomponents with well defined interfaces. I find that inline OR external script snippets get messy and out of control, and you're generally better off following standard OO programming. Another way of looking at it is that if your MXML is looking more like AS code than like MXML, you're probably better off refactoring things. When any given MXML class is down to 10-15 lines of script, things look pretty clean, and it seems better to just put it inline.

You might want to search the archives, we had a long chat about this recently. The conclusion that I personally push is to avoid relying on script source inclusion but rather to either a) create custom base classes and derive your MXML components from them, and/or b) aggregate helper objects, and/or c) factor the MXML into metacomponents with well defined interfaces. I find that inline OR external script snippets get messy and out of control, and you're generally better off following standard OO programming. Another way of looking at it is that if your MXML is looking more like AS code than like MXML, you're probably better off refactoring things. When any given MXML class is down to 10-15 lines of script, things look pretty clean, and it seems better to just put it inline. (personal opinions here, we argue this one internally quite a bit!) -rg -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Julian Suggate Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 7:31 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind? Gidday everyone, Years back, I wrote php scripts with code embedded in the html and it led to maintenance hassles. Since then, I've migrated to Java and now .NET and what I liked about their models was the ability to separate the code into code-behind, something done quite elegantly in ASP.NET. These eliminated a lot of the maintenance problems I'd encountered earlier with PHP. So when I saw macromedia's examples of mxml with mx:Script.../mx:Script blocks embedded directly into the mxml, I immediately searched for a way to avoid this. I found that i could add a source=.. attribute to the mx:Script element and the AS code would be included by the compiler from an external file at compile time. The IDE was even smart enough that any elements I'd defined with id attributes in the mxml showed up with intellisense in the included AS file (I am using Flex Builder 2, not sure if FB1.5 had that feature or not). But now I'm having second thoughts. It kinda feels like going against the grain. I don't want to carry old biases into a new paradigm unnecessarily. I read an article by Aral Balkan (of ARP fame) endorsing the code-behind approach quite strongly, but by the same token, all sample apps from the Cairngorm team freely mix mxml and AS code, as do examples from macromedia themselves. I note though, that the Cairngorm framework itself is all pure AS; it is only the sample apps that use inline actionscript. I can't seem to find a best practice anywhere, because for every framework/example/article I find that seems to hint at one way of doing things, I find another one that suggests the opposite! Has anyone else with more Flex experience than me answered this question, particularly in terms of which approach is easier to maintain? At this stage, any hints would be appreciated!

Re: [flexcoders] bugzilla or something like that for Alpha 1?
Last 2 times I tried the wish/bug form I received a reply (through email) that there was an error and the request was not sent. I've reported several bugs/quirks on the labs forums, but hardly get any responses there. So it's hard to figure out what is being taking into consideration, what is already listed as being a bug, etc.. I think it would be a good idea to have a list of bugs/known issues on the labs site somewhere and a central place where we can report them (other than the general wish/bug form). regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 5:38 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] bugzilla or something like that for Alpha 1?

[flexcoders] Multilingual Messages in Validators
Hi, my Application is multilingual. So I tried to set errormessages in all validators by databinding. Here you can see a simple example. ... var tooShortErrorMessage:String=Test Message; ... ... mx:StringValidator field=myModel.id minLength=9 maxLength=20 tooShortError={tooShortErrorMessage}/ ... If the tooShortError occurs, I always get the Message This string is shorter than the minimum allowed length instead of Test Message. Can anybody tell me, how I can customize the messages? best regards Reini Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).
