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

RE: [flexcoders] Problem dynamically creating text controls











What happens if you set creationPolicy=”all”
on the view stack?  Maybe the height it messed up because the VBox was not
really ready to accept children?

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.  Is this a
bug or is there something 
we are missing?

Thanks

Here is some code that demonstrates the problem:


http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"

creationComplete="initLayout()">
  
 
  
 
    
height="100%">
 
    
height="100%">

RE: [flexcoders] Image ScaleContent











I think you still need to set width=”100%”
on the image, the scaleContent is whether it should scale proportionally or
stretch.

I have the following code.

I realize that the scaleContent does not need to
be set, since the 
default is True, however, it does not scale either
way.

I only displays the image width as it's real
width.  In other words, 
the image is about 3/4 of the width of my app, but
it does not scale 
all the way to the right.

I've looked at the manuals, which is where I found
out about the 
scaleContent, but must be missing something.

Any ideas?

RE: [flexcoders] Gaps between list items











The verticalGap may get ignored with
cellRenderers, I can’t remember.  Try adjusting your Canvas instead to
have the gap, maybe use a VBox with margins instead?

Hiya,

When using cellrenderer to populate a list ex:

borderStyle="none"
 
   
rowHeight="25"
 
   
marginLeft="30"
 
   
marginRight="30"

change="mx.core.Application.alert(event.target.selectedItem.color)"
 
   
cellRenderer="com.alltel.rapid.aopscheduler.view.ActivityCellRenderer"
 
   
dragEnabled="true">
  


I cannot seem to get the verticalGap to work.
The cellRenderer is pretty plain...



http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
height="49"
width="100%" >

Everything I try to put a small gap fails. Can
someone offer any suggestions?

Thanks!

Alex Uhlmann wrote the animation package
and it’s quite good, but I don’t think it’s really about 3d. 
He went to work for iteration::two and then we acquired iteration::two so now
he works for us in Macromedia Consulting EMEA.  So we’ll try to leverage

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.

RE: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?

// VisToggle.as: helper object for twiddling visibility of display
objects
package
{
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
public class VisToggle
{
public function toggle()
{
thing.visible = !thing.visible;
}
public var thing:DisplayObject;
}
} 

Pretty lame example, but you get the idea.

I like to make classes (perhaps even a custom base for the application)
that implement interfaces, and then have helper objects that know how to
operate on those interfaces, and don't know anything about the
application itself.

I have a pet theory that if you use mx.core.Application.application
anywhere, you are building a messy nightmare that will be difficult to
maintain.  YMMV.

RE: [flexcoders] Seeing double in DataGrid











I guess we’ll need the full example,
I don’t see anything jumping out at me.

Subject: [flexcoders] Seeing
double in DataGrid



 







I have a couple of
columns in a DataGrid that are populated by using 2 different
ImageCellRenderers. ImageCellRenderer1 displays either image A or B, and
ImageCellRenderer2 displays either image C or D. However, when ran the first
column always displays what is displayed in the second column. I tried switching
the 2 columns, so that the latter column appears first, but the left column
always adopt whatever is displayed in the right column.

Any idea what causes this?

The code for ImageCellRenderer is pretty straight forward:



    
        var obj1:Object;
        function setValue(str:String,item:Object)
{
            if
(item.prm1=="0") {
               
obj1=item;
               
obj1.icon="obj1.jpg";
               
visible=true
            } else {
               
obj1=item;
               
obj1.icon="obj2.jpg";
               
visible=true
            }
        }

Maybe give the boxes an initial visibility

hello, 
i have been using flow.as (see below), and it
works great. however
there is something that i'd like to fix.
firstly i have bound a showEffect and hideEffect
to it which increases
the width over a time period:

the problem is, that when initialising the box,
all the subelements
are visible for a brief instant when the page
loads, then they
disappear and display themselves as expected. i'm
guessing there is
some chain of command is broken. here is the tag
for the flow box:

creationComplete="showSearch(event)"
showEffect="grow"
hideEffect="shrink"  

horizontalGap="24" height="125"

vScrollPolicy="off" hScrollPolicy="off">

if anyone could point me in the right direction
i'd be very grateful,

Do you know which column should have the

assign the cellRenderer in ActionScript.

Hi,

I have a problem with using cellrenderer at

the cellrenderer.  If I
have the renderer at column level,

width="50" 
cellRenderer="CellColorRenderer"/>, when I click on the cells
under "active" column, the background
color of the cells change.  However,
for my case, I can't explicitly define the columns,
they generate based on
the data result so I need to use a different
path.  I tried to have the
renderer at datagrid level, 
dataProvider="{department.employees.employee}"
editable="true"
cellRenderer="CellColorRenderer">, it
does not work.  Please help!!!

The proxy isn’t available in the

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!)

RE: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?

2005-11-02 Thread Matt Horn

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...

SuggateSent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 10:31 PMTo:
flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] To code-behind or

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
... 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!
TIA,
Jules

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 files for 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.

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 
... 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! 
 
TIA,
Jules

[flexcoders] Flex2: component and generated source code?

2005-11-02 Thread Julian Suggate




Hi all,
 
Anyone know where/if we can get our hands on the component source for the Flex2 Alpha?
 
Also, there's a directory underneath my FB2 project tree called "generated" but it always seems empty! Is there a way to inspect the generated as3 code in Flex2 projects? Just for interests sake more than anything else...

 
Jules

RE: [flexcoders] Embed Flash 8 swf in Flex 1.5

It depends on the interaction.  

It works fine to just display a FP8 SWF as a child display object, but
if you wanted to actually have some FP8 functionality callable (say, a
"blur this thing" utility) directly from Flex code, you'd need to jump
through some hoops.

[flexcoders] bugzilla or something like that for Alpha 1?

2005-11-02 Thread Robert Thompson

Is there a process for reporting issues here and there
with Flex Builder 2?  Something like bugzilla would be
cool, or is the process just to post to this group.

(sorry if this is in the faq; I need to save that on
my desktop)

[flexcoders] Problem dynamically creating text controls

2005-11-02 Thread pasflex

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.  Is this a bug or is there something 
we are missing?

Thanks

Here is some code that demonstrates the problem:

Re: [flexcoders] Inverted DataGrid

2005-11-02 Thread Anatole Tartakovsky

Title: Inverted DataGrid





Daman, 

    Short answer 
is here ;-) - just rotate the array. However, if you need "real life" 
application with large number of columns/rows as well 
as navigation/tips/formatting of the cells it  might be more 
appropriate to use cellrenderers and create "columns" collection on 
datagrid. The next level of FLEXibility and power - dynamic 
crosstabs - old spreadsheets - can also be easily facilitated by using 
custom dataProviders. You basically have to choose your options as the task 
expands 
:

  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 
      
      1000

      5/1 
      
      2000    
      
      
      6.256 
  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 ?

Bummer about the parser.
 
Works fine when loading the swf at runtime. 
So will try work with that (although from your comments below it seems thats not supposed to be so straightforward) ?

Waddya mean by "not fly"? Leaving off type annotations is legal AS3, but
it isn't recommended for serious apps. Without them the compiler can't
help you find a lot of programming mistakes, and your app will run
slower because all properties and methods have to be looked up in hash
tables on dynamic Objects.

Well, there is a deadline, but we do have SOME, not much, "wiggle

It was our initial opinion to proceed with Flex 1.5, but I wanted to
get other thoughts on the matter.

I am not exactly sure what you mean when you say "type cast".  Can
you elaborate?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Start Project with Flex 1.5 or Flex 2.0

To say it another way, utilizing AS3 without using strict-datatyping seems 
like one is missing the point of using Flash Player 8.5.

Waddya mean by "not fly"? Leaving off type annotations is legal AS3, but
it isn't recommended for serious apps. Without them the compiler can't
help you find a lot of programming mistakes, and your app will run
slower because all properties and methods have to be looked up in hash
tables on dynamic Objects.

You do the below for all variables that can be typecast/datatyped,
you'll
save a LOT of time.

Well, there is a deadline, but we do have SOME, not much, "wiggle

It was our initial opinion to proceed with Flex 1.5, but I wanted to

I am not exactly sure what you mean when you say "type cast".  Can
you elaborate?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Start Project with Flex 1.5 or Flex 2.0

Exactly; if you aren't going to use strict datatyping, why use Flash Player 
8.5?  Because it has Socket?  No, not just that, because it's fast as nuts 
if you follow the strict datatyping rules!

RE: [flexcoders] Embed Flash 8 swf in Flex 1.5






No, please see my comments in a previous thread.
 
Flex 1.5's SWF parser is 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 
works though, basically making an AS2 facade over the FP8 features in a 
separate SWF.  There's a current thread on this.

[flexcoders] Inverted DataGrid

2005-11-02 Thread Dogra, Daman

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         1000                6.255       

20      5/1         2000                6.256



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 ?


Thanks

-Daman

[flexcoders] Image ScaleContent

I have the following code.

http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";   
xmlns="*"
   marginTop="0"
   marginBottom="0"
   marginLeft="0"
   marginRight="0"
   horizontalGap="0"
   backgroundColor="#71897F">







I realize that the scaleContent does not need to be set, since the 
default is True, however, it does not scale either way.

I only displays the image width as it's real width.  In other words, 
the image is about 3/4 of the width of my app, but it does not scale 
all the way to the right.

I've looked at the manuals, which is where I found out about the 
scaleContent, but must be missing something.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jack

RE: [flexcoders] AnimationPackage

2005-11-02 Thread Robert Thompson

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.

[flexcoders] Gaps between list items

2005-11-02 Thread Greg Morphis

Hiya,

When using cellrenderer to populate a list ex:




I cannot seem to get the verticalGap to work.
The cellRenderer is pretty plain...

width="100%" >










Everything I try to put a small gap fails. Can someone offer any suggestions?

Thanks!

Well, there is a deadline, but we do have SOME, not much, "wiggle

It was our initial opinion to proceed with Flex 1.5, but I wanted to
get other thoughts on the matter.

I am not exactly sure what you mean when you say "type cast".  Can
you elaborate?

The really  hysterical part is that we have Java going the other way,
towards auto boxing to primitive types. (auto casting primitives to
object wrappers)

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!

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.

Tracy

time warning and Flash Player 8



 

OK, bad news.  I went searching
through the bugbase and found one for our docs team to add to the migration
guide that the timeout can no longer be greater than 60 seconds. 
I’m assuming that this was actually put into Player 8, not just 8.5 since
you’re running into it.  Guess that means you’re going to need
to do some tricks like Jesse showed, and in your case since you’re
building a massive tree I think this means you’re 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 don’t need to doLater
anymore

 

you can put up a blocker and show the busy
cursor while you’re doing this too (though using a progress bar might be
nicer)

Jesse, if you are still following this thread: Besides moving
my entire process to the server(which would take me several weeks, and this is
a rare condition that only a developer will see), is there anyway to
"refactor"  a single process?  The is the massive calculation
(in this case it is building two 30,000 node trees) that made me implement your
status variable and doLater strategy in order to give the user some visible
feedback while this process is running.  It is broken up into individual
function calls, but it still triggers the time-out.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 1.5 - n checkboxes

2005-11-02 Thread Brendan Meutzner

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

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - n checkboxes

Yes, as I mentioned, I am using the repeater tag. But the data provider
for it is the list of all possible roles. I'm interested in the process
of mapping the checked items to an array of objects (strings or value
objects). I'm guessing there's no way around using Actionscipt to
populate the form from the model and vice versa.

Re: [flexcoders] Big problems with SBC Yahoo Browser

I haven't. I did a quick web search, but the Yahoo help section doesn't 
say which browser it's built upon, nor list anything quickly visible 
about Netscape Plugins (or ActiveX Controls, if based on IE/Win).

Best troubleshooting: Do the usual some-or-all-sites test (if they can 
see other SWF but not your SWF that's a clue)... after that it would be 
researching just what the SBC Yahoo Browser actually is, and what it can do.

(I just expanded my websearches from Yahoo to the net at large, and some 
users report that it is built upon IE/Win, which raises the 
possibilities of XP SP2 controls, popup window controls, or general 
permissions issues for new installs... try the "some or all browsers" 
test to see if your site works in IE/Win on their machine, etc.)

preventing you from using Flex 1.5, you should work on that version
while studying Flex 2 to reduce your migration costs.

In addition to the fact that you might want to release your product
before we release ours, trying to develop a production application using
pre-release software has its travails.

[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - n checkboxes

2005-11-02 Thread Richard Rodseth




Is there a slick way to bind a variable number of checkboxes to an array of value objects in a data model?

Example: user has an array of roles. Display a list of  checkboxes
I see how to use repeaters to render the checkboxes, but I'm unclear on the best way to capture the user selections.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Seeing double in DataGrid

2005-11-02 Thread P Trisnadi




I have a couple of columns in a DataGrid that are populated by
using 2 different ImageCellRenderers. ImageCellRenderer1 displays
either image A or B, and ImageCellRenderer2 displays either image C or
D. However, when ran the first column always displays what is displayed
in the second column. I tried switching the 2 columns, so that the
latter column appears first, but the left column always adopt whatever
is displayed in the right column.

Any idea what causes this?

The code for ImageCellRenderer is pretty straight forward:



    
        var obj1:Object;
        function setValue(str:String,item:Object) {
            if (item.prm1=="0") {
                obj1=item;
                obj1.icon="obj1.jpg";
                visible=true
            } else {
                obj1=item;
                obj1.icon="obj2.jpg";
                visible=true
            }
        }
    
    


TIA,
- ptrisnadi

[flexcoders] Passing arguments to coldfusion cfc's / mx:WebService

2005-11-02 Thread maxgsilverscape

I am trying to pass three arguments to a CFC like this:



{CLID.text}
category
1



The error being returned is 'Array of input arguments did not 
contain a required parameter at position 0', but I'm confused as to 
why that would be the case. My CF is here:






Is using  a valid way to pass arguments to CFC's?

Also, if my function returns an XML string, how can I convert it to 
a usable XML object?

Thanks,
Max

[flexcoders] Flow.as from "Re: like behaviour?"

2005-11-02 Thread edeustace

hello, 
i have been using flow.as (see below), and it works great. however
there is something that i'd like to fix.
firstly i have bound a showEffect and hideEffect to it which increases
the width over a time period:

the problem is, that when initialising the box, all the subelements
are visible for a brief instant when the page loads, then they
disappear and display themselves as expected. i'm guessing there is
some chain of command is broken. here is the tag for the flow box:

if anyone could point me in the right direction i'd be very grateful,
yours

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.

One of these dudes on here, whoever did the Flex Store app, did a preso on 
this at MAX, although, I wasn't there so didn't see it.  His preso might be 
online somewhere.

Subject: [flexcoders] Start Project with Flex 1.5 or Flex 2.0


To All:

We are beginning a large project that we project will take 3-4
months to complete.  We are not tied to a deadline, but would like
to have up and running by March 1, 2006.  We do have some "wiggle"
room.

My question(s) to the experts . . . .

Would you develop with Flex 1.5 and then convert to Flex 2.0 when it
is released or start with Flex 2.0?  I realize "it depends on the
app", but anyone have info own time required to convert 1.5 app to a
2.0 app?  10% of original development? 20%?

Best guess?

There are some features in Flex 2.0 we need, but they do not have to
be there in our first release.

If it is the concensus of this group that Flex 2.0 would be released
by April/May then we might decide to go straight to Flex 2.0

If as with most software releases, probably more later than sooner,
more like May/June then that puts us back in Flex 1.5.

All opinions and insight will be welcomed.

Thanking You In Advance,

Jack

[flexcoders] Loading a Flash 8 compiled AS 2.0 class into a Flex app and instantiate it

2005-11-02 Thread Dirk Eismann

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?

Roger, you there?

Thanks,
Dirk.

[flexcoders] CellRenderer for datagrid

2005-11-02 Thread Parekh, Shweta - BLS CTR

Hi,

I have a problem with using cellrenderer at datagrid level.  Attached is a
sample of the application which I'm using to test the cellrenderer.  If I
have the renderer at column level, , when I click on the cells
under "active" column, the background color of the cells change.  However,
for my case, I can't explicitly define the columns, they generate based on
the data result so I need to use a different path.  I tried to have the
renderer at datagrid level, , it does not work.  Please help!!!

Thanks in advance,

Shweta <>  <>  <>

[flexcoders] problem adapting to FLEX 2 on defining variables

2005-11-02 Thread yaagcur

I had  the following working OK in FLEX 1.5







However I am finding it impossible to duplicate in FLEX2/AS3

I have tried various alternatives e.g
[BINDABLE]
public var myTest:Object - which gives me a "no type declaration" error

Placing the variable within the resulthandler gives an "access of
undefined property" error (predictably I suppose) in the 

The data is coming across OK because if I alternatively do

I can populate fine
And also putting breakpoints in the resulthandler I get debug results
e.g
result=[](0x6c5c746)
[0] Object
FULLNAME="Joe Blow"
