[flexcoders] Flex2: link not working with non selectable html text

[Muzak]

When setting the selectable property to false of a Text tag, anchor tags () no longer work.







Works fine when removing the selectable prop.
Both work fine in Flex 1.5.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2:Can you center a popup from the inside?

[Muzak]

In addition to this.
I tried adding a Stage resize event listener to a TitleWindow (inside a custom 
mxml component which extends TitleWindow) in order to 
be able to keep it centered.
When doing so I receive the following error, when resizing the swf:

TypeError: Error #1009: null has no properties.
 at 
mx.managers::PopUpManager$/resizeHandler()[C:\dev\max\sdk\frameworks\mx\managers\PopUpManager.as:479]
 at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
 at 
mx.managers::SystemManager/SystemManager$71$private::Stage_resizeHandler()[C:\dev\max\sdk\frameworks\mx\managers\SystemManager.as:1724]

The odd part here is the paths being referred to:
C:\dev\max\sdk\frameworks\mx\managers\PopUpManager.as
C:\dev\max\sdk\frameworks\mx\managers\SystemManager.as

No such files or directories here.
Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Muzak

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex prototype - production approach

[JesterXL]

Absolutely!  9 out of 10 times I'm building, 
& re-factoring production code as I go.
 
I think the important thing to note here is the 
purpose of milestones via iterations is to get a build done, working, and 
testable by a real user, not just a developer.  This garners relevant 
feedback, the kind that promotes work to be focused on the 80% of the app that 
matters.  Additionally, this gives you a chance to challenge the 
wireframes, the information architect's work, and/or the designers.  You 
constantly have proof of improvement, recognizable & documentable 
milestones, and a sense of accomplishment that actually has meaning.  
Working towards meeting the users' needs, and making progress doing it is a lot 
more relevant to a project's success than working towards the developer feeling 
comfortable with his architecture and showing progress doing it.  Just 
because I love my implementation of MVC in the app means jack of the app doesn't 
work for the user.
 
Now you can see how my view of commenting code 
& using tools like ASDoc is slanted; I'm too busy improving & changing 
the design as I go to ever really get to the point where the app is so stale it 
needs to be documented.  Why spend time on it if you are possibly going to 
change it?  It's wasted effort.
 
Change?  Having View's that aren't tied to the 
Model and emit useful events.  Having, as Steven has said in the passed, 
Commands (chunks of controller code) that actually map to user cases; they do 
something the user would do like "open a document", "save a record", etc.  
Doing your best to use MVC & frameworks like Cairngorm and ARP allow things 
to be extremely flexible.  Most of my changes come from design, not from 
business process, so most of the time it's pretty easy, like moving some MXML 
around, or deleting it entirely and just using code.  Other times, the 
actual logic changes, and I have to sometimes move code around, etc.  
Again, modularizing techniques keep this to a minimum; meaning you are most of 
the time creating & modifying vs. destroying what you 
created.
 
The phrase "signed off" to me sounds like the 
contracting advice I see thrown around the lists.  I admittingly do not 
understand their pain.   I recognize that they are trying to protect 
themselves, as their stories of past problem jobs are telling, but I've never 
had that experience.  Additionally, and more telling, I've never had a 
wireframe that was rock solid.  While I do hate doing wireframe changes 6 
weeks into a project, I'd rather be doing that then following a failed 
cause.
 
So, to me, signing off on a wireframe sounds like a 
death warrant... but I never deal with those sides of the project; my managers, 
designers, or sales dudes do.
 
Yes, skins add considerable time, but one must 
understand that a designer developing a rich app is creating, hopefully more 
often than not, something extremely brandable and compelling compared to the 
simplisitic nature of web page designs, which have to be created that way 
to fit into the HTML/CSS paradigm.  Those boundaries to design do not exist 
in Flex since the sky's the limit, so it's actually time well spent; time you 
couldn't do at all in HTML development.  On the flipside, I've seen web 
designers take weeks to get a design to work on a website... and one I wasn't 
really impressed with at all.  Spending 6 hours on getting a margin to work 
seems a lot less valuable to me than spending 6 hours implementing a phat PSD 
into PNG parts for use in skinning Flex components.
 
Flex, and Flash, both are still evolving.  
Although we've had years, and one can go on Google and find thousands of 
components that are free, there isn't a lot of cream in the crop.  QA is a 
nightmare because some were written for Flash 4 before ActionScript existed, 
some are AS1, and the majority are tied to FLA's in some way.  A lot of 
time in Flex is spend custom components for a specific job, yes.  But, it's 
worth it; you build up an impressive reproitoire of components in the long 
run.
 
_javascript_ has definately got us on that front with 
the options of frameworks out there, both commercial and non.  But... they 
are about AS1, and don't look as cool as ours!
 
Remember; an app can look good and not work as 
well, but still sell better than one that does.
 
...data... hrm... tough.  Usually, I've found 
the backend guys I've worked with follow this pattern:
- in the beginning, they know everything, and spell 
out the data model to me, and involve me in business logic discussions to see 
what I can handle on the client; I in turn push as much as I can their 
way
- in the middle, I work like mad, and get feedback 
on how I'm doing from them, and ask questions
- I reach one of my later milestones, and am ready 
for real data; at this point, I start breaking the hell out of their back-end 
services.  So, getting relevant data takes a few days
- once I get the data, I recognize problems with it 
(usually associated 

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex prototype - production approach

[superabe superabe]

Thanks for all the replies.
 
So the majority seem to favour approach A and iterative development.
Question though, doesnt iterative mean you are building towards a production app?
Meaning the prototype would constantly get refactored and eventually become the production app.
 
As opposed to a protoype that is done real fast and then the production app is started from scratch (i.e none of the code is re-used , but you gain all the UI design, usability and input from domain experts experience from the prototype design phase)

 
Also, having just been through an iterative process for a Flex project, some questions :
 
How do you manage constant change in iterative development ? 
Especially when you start without signed off comps/wireframes ?
 
Also, what about where you have very custom designs (using skins , transitions etc, custom display mechanisms),  does that not add extra dev time trying to do it in Flex at the prototype stage (as opposed to a quick mockup in Flash say for 
e.g or a Photoshop comp)
 
And in the process that Dave calls LookFirst, do you ever run into issues, where once the UI is done and decided on, the nature of the data in the data store (as decided by the business logicl) proves inefficient for display process. (might have been fine using static dummy data, but when the real-life data comes along...things prove too convoluted)

 
Once again thanks for all the comments. 
Very useful. Just trying to get a better handle on how to plan out larger Flex projects.

We feel very strongly about this subject.  We developed all ourFlex/RIA solutions so far using a "front to back" approach.
Effectively we do what we call a Model & Design phase where we developout the entire UI in Flex.  In the past we would call this "wireframing" and would use static images to represent the UI.  Witht he
productivity of Flex we now just do it right in Flex.  We work hand inhand with the domain experts to layout and develop every screen inthe application.  Once that is done, in the next phase we bind static
data to the UI, implement validations and flow and actions.  Finallyusing the domain knowldge we got from the M&D the back-ends aredeveloped and finally integrated into the UI.This approach has tons of advantages but the biggest being this.  JAD
sessions are *boring*.  Business domain experts get very bored veryquickly looking at data models, object models, functional specs etc.Well as they get bored, they stop caring.  So when you ask "Can we
just skip field X here" they just go "Yup".  Now you do the back-end,the API's build out the UI without field X.  Wanna guess what happens?Yep, they tell you X is missing and the app is flawed because of it.
Now you have to layer fixes into three to four layers of theapplication.  Add the field to the data store, add it to thepersistance layer, add it to the API, add it to the UI, etc.Domain users are *a lot* more likely to stay engaged in the user
experience.  Then you use those lessons learned to drive back at theenterprise tier.We've coined this approach as LookFirst(tm) and use it pretty muchreligously.  There are other side benefits like the app is
demonstrable before its finished, blah blah.We actually sell an offering to our clients for the M&D itself.Includes all the screens, data model, project plan, test plan, etc.Its been very successful.
I would vote for a LookFirst like front to back approach.--Dave WolfCynergy Systems, Inc.Macromedia Flex Alliance Partnerhttp://www.cynergysystems.com

[flexcoders] Just be wary that Flex2 Rich Clients are a threat to Media Player and Lightweight Client vs bulkly GUI

[Robert Thompson]

Well, some of each of our last 2 postings have had elements of off-topic and I'm willing to stop it also; but it was and is something I'm researching as far as, as you say "my competetive plug in" problems (which is not the case here at all and I'll either end this or make sure it's on topic by saying exactly why).
 
What you don't know is the confidential documents I've seen as part of a case I'm involved with; which I cannot divulge the contents of; nor of the 6 years of research I've done and have found _public_ documents showing that, despite your reasoning about "evil" this or that (which is true sometimes I can agree in general), this is _Not_ the case with Microsoft -- not by any means and I've seen actual things inside to prove it; even if you've seen things; trust me; I've seen enough to get nauseated, even about me personally.
 
Trust me -- there is EVERY reason in the world for the Flex group and Macromedia to stay highly tuned to Microsoft's actions regarding, most especially Flash Player 8 and thereafter.
 
I've noticed how the first defense to real problems is sometimes noting what can and indeed goes on in a competetive environment -- but that is not at all what I'm referring to in the exactly related hacking of JVM in IE (proven explicitly not even with more likely than not; but beyond doubt; it was there and MS finally admitted it implicitly to SUN), QuickTime for Apple -- Flash Player, now especially 8 with video, is directly in line more than _ANY_ other technology right now as potential game for MS people who may or may have not changed -- and they have proven that they do not change.
 
Rich Client UI as well as Media Player Video ARE AT HIGH STAKE WITH MS AS WE SPEAK (and note Real Player's victory on this anti-trust front).
We'll see; but in the meantime; please Macromedia; keep it going and watch them.  Period.

Not yet. The alpha Flex 2 uses the alpha Macromedia Flash Player 8.5 -- 
even desktop browsers aren't at this level of support yet. Pocket 
devices are usually a few versions back:

Thanx for the confirmation.

I worked around it by doing something similar.

[flexcoders] Mapping java.sql.Timestamp to ActionScript

[Oscar . Cortes]

We are  reading a collection of Java Value Objects with one of the
attributes being of java.sql.Timestamp datatype.  How can I map this to
ActionScript?

We already have a ActionScript VO mapped to the Java VO using

send the ActionScript VO back to Java we get an error message about a data

Any ideas?

[flexcoders] [Flex 1.5] Cairngorm Store's Filtering Functionality

[fowleryj]

I'm trying to implement the filtering functionality shown in the
Cairngorm Store example, but the differences between my data set and
theirs is creating a rather large hurdle.

The particular page I'm working on involves a ComboBox and a DataGrid:
the default on the ComboBox is "All", so upon creation of the Canvas
where these components reside, a call is made to the database, and a
large amount of data is returned and displayed in the DataGrid. I want
the user to be able to filter the data displayed in the DataGrid based
upon their ComboBox selection, but I'd rather not call the database
each time a new selection is made, since all of the options other than
"All" are subsets of the data returned by the "All" call.

I've been using the Cairngorm Store's filtering functionality as a
template for mine, but the fact that I have an additional level of
arrays in my data sets is making implementing my own Comparator.as a
confusing task. If someone could explain the changes that would need
to be made to functions such as "addComparable", "addFilterProperties"
(they call theirs "addFilterRangeProperty" and
"addFilterSelectionProperty", but I actually need to filter over
particular values of columns in my row set object that is returned
from the database (i.e. I'd like to filter out all rows where
resultsObject.country_code != "USA"), so my filter property needs
differ), "filter",
"getUnfilteredComparables" and "getFilteredComparables", it would help
a lot (I don't think I need the rest of the methods in their
Comparator.as class).

I've tried creating "wrapper"-ish arrays, but I just keep leading
myself down the wrong path and ending up where I started...

I also looked at Manish's example
(http://manish.revise.org/2005/04/data-filtering-using-custom.html),
but I believe the Cairngorm Store's approach is more suited to what I am
trying to do. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

If it would help to see some examples of the code, let me know, and
I'll put together a summary. Otherwise, I figured I'd keep the post
theoretical in nature. =)

I believe that's a known issue.  For now, do this:

closeButton="true"  click="if ( event.target == _closeButton ) 
clickHandler( event );"

You have to specifically check if the target of the event is the close 
button.  I think this is caused by the change in event models in that 
events propagate now...

[flexcoders] Flex2: TitleWindow close button click event error

[Muzak]

When defining a click event for a custom TitleWindow, clicking anywhere within 
the TitleWindow triggers the event, allthough the 
docs say it is used for the close button.
Furthermore, when trying to close the TitleWindow in the click event handler, 
an error pops up.

Here's the mxml:


http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml"; xmlns="*" 
closeButton="true" click="windowClickHandler(event)" 
width="400" height="200">





This is the error message:

TypeError: Error #1009: null has no properties.
 at mx.managers::PopUpManager$/removePopUp()
 at TestWindow/TestWindow$287$private::windowClickHandler()
 at TestWindow/___TitleWindow0_click()


Is there any other event triggered when clicking the close button?
I find it strange that the event is triggered when clicking anywhere inside the 
TitleWindow, so maybe the docs mention the wrong 
event name or something.
A 'close' event would be more suitable IMO anyways..

regards,
Muzak

RE: [flexcoders] New To Flex

[Matt Chotin]

Understanding Flash is not a pre-requisite
to understanding Flex.  Sometimes it even confuses people J  I’d look at the
Developing Rich Clients book even though it’s for 1.0, the concepts of
how to build an application remain.  The 1.5 tutorials that you find out on the
web also should generally remain helpful for the concepts even if some of the
code might need to be updated.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex2: pricing info

[Dave Wolf]

This thread is getting off-topic and I probobly shouldn't keep it
alive, but I did want to make one short comment.  First off I clearly
a *former* employee and I can only comment on what I saw when I was
there, but many of the things that from the outside look like very
well planned very well executed "evil" moves are usually absolutely
accidents.  Issues on things like "My competitive plugin stopped
working in the new browser, they did this on purpose to keep me down"
are usually more of an issue that I sometimes felt like buildings on
Microsoft Drive had no windows (pardon the pun).  Its not that the
purposely would do something to break a competitors product, or
browser, or web site or whatever.  Its usually more that they don't
naturally How do I say. Like they are so internalized they
actually didnt even think about the impact the change they just did
would have.  As you said, at that level where these things get built,
they're just geeks like you and me.  

Anyways, just my opinion.  Don't get me wrong, they a
hyper-competitive and they play to win.  I am not an apologist for
many of their practices, nor usually are they.  I just wanted a bit of
a view from the inside.  At least as I experienced it.

That said, I wouldn't ever relax.  They execute on a goal like machines.

I don't miss the Redmond weather this time of year though .

I have some fun stories over beers!  Let's do that sometime.

Re: [flexcoders] Need advice on XMLSocket architecture (1.5)

[JesterXL]

Title: Need advice on XMLSocket architecture (1.5)





You might want to ask this on Flashcoders; people 
like Jobe Makar are the ones you want answering this.
 
When I connected to a message router in the past 
via .NET, we used the same port, and had 2 XMLSocket connections.  We 
utilized our own XML schema, and only paid attention to messages that matched 
our assigned client ID.
Example:
 
function onLoad(xml)
{
    if(xml.firstChild.attributes.id == _global.myID)
    {
        // go ahead and start parsing more 
data
    }
}
 
The only challenges we ran into:
- higher framerates mean less message processing time; stick to 18 or 
lower
- keep track of which data is the valid data; XMLSocket vs. a returning 
Remoting request
 
As far as scalability, XMLSocket itself rocks, but the back-end kept going 
down 15 times a day, and I'd have to ask the server guy to reboot it.  We 
didn't build it, but didn't have time to write our own.  Beyond the high 
framerate, never had any problems with Flash.
 
A project way before that using VB 6 to connect & C, we didn't even use 
XML, just strings:
 
function onData(str)
{
    if(str == "gonext")
    {
        // etc.
    }
}
 
This was a single app with a single socket, though, so no ID's for multiple 
clients was needed; it was merely a better way of communicating from VB to Flash 
at the time since ExternalInterface didn't exist, nor LoadVars, nor watch, and 
fscommand wouldn't scale for what we needed.
 
Both of which worked great.

Subject: [flexcoders] Need advice on XMLSocket architecture 
(1.5)

I have 100 fixed clients 
running a Flex 1.5 app on an intranet.  A Dot.Net 
integration tier maintains individual states for each client. The integration 
tier talks asynchronously to third party apps over async tcp sockets and even 
mail transport.  I had planned on a leisurely polling setup to get the 
clients updated with changes in state, but I now have a 
requirement for an update with minimum 
latency.
The messaging between 
clients and server is very low frequency (a few clients 
updated per minute) and very low size (a few 
k 
per update).
Since I have been 
unsuccessful at getting a 
“blocking” http service call 
working in dot.net, and since I now have some socket 
experience, I am leaning towards a true “push” connection using 
XMLSockets.  I see two approaches:  
On would be to have a 
separate port connection for each client with each client 
only getting their messages, the other would be a single port, where 
all clients would get all messages, and ignore those that were not 
theirs.
I think performance, 
reliability and simplicity are most important, and scalability not so much an 
issue.
Any suggestions, 
experiences, resources would be appreciated!!

[flexcoders] New To Flex

[Alan]

I've been playing with Flex on and off over the last year.  I recently downloaded Flex 2 Alpha 1 and I like what I see, however I'm a newbie to application development.  I would like to get my arms around Flex 2, but other than the few tutorials that Macromedia has on thier site I haven't been able to find anf Flex 2 resource sites.  Should I start with developing applications in Flash before diving into Flex 2?

[flexcoders] Re: -- PayPal API

[alariccole]

Paypal already offers a webservice which like any webservice can be
used with httpservice or webservice components. But it's set up as a
monthly service.

[flexcoders] Need advice on XMLSocket architecture (1.5)

[Tracy Spratt]

Title: Need advice on XMLSocket architecture (1.5)








I have 100 fixed clients running a Flex 1.5 app on an intranet.  A Dot.Net integration tier maintains individual states for each client. The integration tier talks asynchronously to third party apps over async tcp sockets and even mail transport.  I had planned on a leisurely polling setup to get the clients updated with changes in state, but I now have a requirement for an update with minimum latency.

The messaging between clients and server is very low frequency (a few clients updated per minute) and very low size (a few k per update).

Since I have been unsuccessful at getting a “blocking” http service call working in dot.net, and since I now have some socket experience, I am leaning towards a true “push” connection using XMLSockets.  I see two approaches:  

On would be to have a separate port connection for each client with each client only getting their messages, the other would be a single port, where all clients would get all messages, and ignore those that were not theirs.

I think performance, reliability and simplicity are most important, and scalability not so much an issue.

Any suggestions, experiences, resources would be appreciated!!

Tracy

[flexcoders] Flex 2: TitleWindow popup bug

And here's another bug with the TitleWindow (in addition to the center bug).
If the TitleWindow has a close button (closeButton=true), try clicking the

mouse. The TitleWindow will jump all the way to the right.

Re: [flexcoders] Processor Speed vs Video Card Speed

CPU.

Even with the bitmap renderings, the only hardware Flash utilizes is with 
Flash Player 8 on the Mac.  Granted, you get higher refresh rates with 
better video cards, and thus higher framerates actually look like they 
should, but no one should be developing above 30fps in Flex anyway.

CPU first, RAM second.

Hey guys.

Has any testing been done, or does anyone know what will affect
performance more: Processor Speed or Video Card speed?

I'm at a new job (left eBay 3 weeks ago), the goal at the new gig is to
re-engineer the application here (or at least make it way more usable).
The application is for a high volume call center, and the business is
completely dependent on this application. But because it's a call
center, the PC's that the user uses are pretty old (I'm working on
getting specs). So in terms of evaluation I'm scoping out what the
options are in terms of h/w upgrade is; and if just a video card upgrade
(vs replacing 400 PCs) could buy me some performance. Or, are Flash apps
pretty much 90% dependent on processor power?

Thx.

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

[Tracy Spratt]

“just stuff AS into
our mxml. If it bites us later we'll just refactor”  

No, man, don’t do that.  In 1.5, the 32k problem *will* bite you.  Just start off putting the
AS into a helper class (static or otherwise). Then you’ll do:

MyHelperClass.myFunction()

From the beginning instead of having to do it later.

 

Trust me.

Thanks for your time everyone.





 





Because we have barely scratched the surface with Flex, I am asking
stupid questions probably ... apologies if it's coming across as obtuse. 





 





I think I was getting confused because "mxml is the
class". Call me slow on the uptake! I only just clicked that separating
the code from the mxml makes no difference semantically -- seems more of
an ideological debate than anything else. I'm not a big fan of those! I
can see why Steven's initial response was kind of blase. I think we'll go with
the grain on this one and just stuff AS into our mxml. If it bites us later
we'll just refactor.

RE: [flexcoders] Reverse yaxis (FLEX 2)

[Ely Greenfield]

No, the axes don't really support inversion.

The easiest way would probably be:

1) pre-multiply your values by -1.
2) put a labelFunction on your vertical AxisRenderer that multiplies the
label value by -1 to make it look like it's positive.
3) if you want datatips, you'll have to add a dataTipFunction to do the
same.

Ely.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2: pricing info

[Robert Thompson]

Nice to hear your comments; after all, the employees
there are just people too; but it's the influence of a
culture started long ago (billg: "I think Jobs needs
to learn to program" -- and this coming from a Basic
programmer /:-\

I'm not unaware at all that there are those from ms
that read these forums; nothing I say I'm afraid of
nor is it extreme.  I'm keenly aware of their activity
moreso than I used to be.

Although I appreciate your candore, I'm not sure you
are addressing the concern here for Flex in FP8 and
8.5 (I've seen some new problems popup just since FP8;
and am looking into this)..here's the end all:

1. Sun's JVM licensed by MS was hacked by them to
perform poorly.  Sun proved this.

2. Microsoft took specific anti-competitive steps to
make Apple's QuickTime perform poorly; this also has
been proven and has been argued.

3. Rick Segal, not someone I take kindly to by any
means at this point now, and someone who (well you can
do your own research), actually argues against
Microsoft on the Blue Mountain v Microsoft hack issue;
this suggests an unstable wavering by Rick; he's
hasn't been sure at times where to draw the line of
speaking the truth.

4. There's a host of other examples all leading to one
thing: FLASH has been "something to deal with" and
this WILL BE MORE OF AN ISSUE WITH AVALON.

So I appreciate your comments and you seem cool and
neutral; but I was simply addressing that the threat
of potential "backdoor" type botching by MS to crush
true innovation (yeah I know it's a highly used phrase
but it's true).

I really think there is a serious need for someone to
monitor this actively as Avalon reaches release.

I welcome anyone from ms to debate; and any future
reference to any public stmts of mine is welcomed as
they are directly associated with other events I'd
gladly discuss in that context.  I won't go away;
sometimes it's best not too know too much in this
world; but now I do and it's not conspiracy theory
(the big denial defense to some), but it is a
consistent philosophy that's just, well, I'd say it's
essentially almost a loser mentality, rather than the
true transparent competitor who can debate, think, and
not lose their cool and digress into becoming a
sneak...that's not competition; that's a mal-formed
desperation with a self-image that's false.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex prototype - production approach

[Dave Wolf]

We feel very strongly about this subject.  We developed all our
Flex/RIA solutions so far using a "front to back" approach. 
Effectively we do what we call a Model & Design phase where we develop
out the entire UI in Flex.  In the past we would call this "wire
framing" and would use static images to represent the UI.  Witht he
productivity of Flex we now just do it right in Flex.  We work hand in
 hand with the domain experts to layout and develop every screen in
the application.  Once that is done, in the next phase we bind static
data to the UI, implement validations and flow and actions.  Finally
using the domain knowldge we got from the M&D the back-ends are
developed and finally integrated into the UI.

This approach has tons of advantages but the biggest being this.  JAD
sessions are *boring*.  Business domain experts get very bored very
quickly looking at data models, object models, functional specs etc.
Well as they get bored, they stop caring.  So when you ask "Can we
just skip field X here" they just go "Yup".  Now you do the back-end,
the API's build out the UI without field X.  Wanna guess what happens?
 Yep, they tell you X is missing and the app is flawed because of it.
 Now you have to layer fixes into three to four layers of the
application.  Add the field to the data store, add it to the
persistance layer, add it to the API, add it to the UI, etc.

Domain users are *a lot* more likely to stay engaged in the user
experience.  Then you use those lessons learned to drive back at the
enterprise tier.

We've coined this approach as LookFirst(tm) and use it pretty much
religously.  There are other side benefits like the app is
demonstrable before its finished, blah blah.

We actually sell an offering to our clients for the M&D itself. 
Includes all the screens, data model, project plan, test plan, etc.
Its been very successful.

I would vote for a LookFirst like front to back approach.

The only really big thing about A is deadline; you're emotional

to the amount of time you have left.  So, if you have a week, don't
care about it.  If you have a month, definately.  Obviously, I'm

Re: [flexcoders] Flex prototype - production approach

[Tariq Ahmed]

I'll second the A approach. I'm a firm believer in the iterative
development approach (sometimes called the prototyping model,
lightweight methodology, etc...), as opposed to the waterfall approach
(define, analyze, scope, design, build, test, implement, support). 

No matter how much planning and requirements gathering you do up front,
if you put massive up front effort into your planning it's going to
change once the end user gets their hand on something they can see.
It's way better to incrementally in a cylical manner build, user eval,
build, user eval, etc...So the final product will be exactly what the
user wants.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: TextInput/List matching

[Stanislav Zayarsky]

Hello Matt,

I have just implemented this feature! :)

If you will have questions about implementation I will gladly help you.

The sample here http://www.richinternetapps.com/archives/79.html
is using much memory but pretty fast, I created application that uses
less memory but more cpu extensive. So it is possible to find balance
here.

Best regards
Stanislav

[flexcoders] TextInput/List matching

[Matt Boles]

Anyone have code to share to accomplish the following:


 A blank TextInput
 and populated List controls are used
 As the user types
 into the TextInput, the List control dynamically displays only words than match
 what the user has entered thus far into the TextInput
 When the Backspace
 key is pressed the List also updates


 

Hoping someone has already fought this battle.

 

Thanks-

Matt

RE: [flexcoders] Dual core license policy

[Jeff Whatcott]

Interesting discussion.  Our current licensing is by 
processor and we don't make any special distinction for dual core 
processors.  We're studying this closely right now, and of course we reserve the right 
to change our licensing policies in the future, but for now there is no 
distinction for dual core.

I disagree with this, 
basically I still concider dual core CPU as a single CPU. If it’s counted as 2 
CPU’s on license policy then you’re better off having 2 separate CPU’s since 
they perform much better than the dual cores. If I remember correctly, Oracle 
counts dual cores as 1.5 processors and they round it upwards so 1 dual cores 
comes out as 2 and 2 dual cores comes out as 3. This also I think is just stupid 
J
 
At least Microsoft 
shows some sense counting a dual as a single processor. 

 
Still no comment from

I disagree... for all interpretations of 
the definition at wikipedia it results in the same conclusion... 
 a dual-core cpu is 2 cpu's/processors.  That's the point.  A 
mobo with one dual core processor uses almost the same power as a mobo with 2 
separate processors.  All they managed to do was squeeze 2 cpu's on one 
die. 

 

It's 2 
cpu's.

Actually Dave 
dual-core *is* 2 
physical processors. As opposed to Intel's Hyper Threading which is two 
"virutal" processors.  So if what you read is true... then Macromedia would 
consider dual core as 2 processors.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex2: pricing info

[Dave Wolf]

I am a former lead Product Manager from the .NET servers team at
Microsoft.  I think I have a pretty good perspective here 

They have a saying in Redmond.  

"Its better to chase tail lights then blaze head lights"

In other words, let everyone else go establish the market, let
everyone else mkae mistakes, then swoop in builing the better
mousetrap and take the market away.

I can also pretty much guarantee they read these forums.  We used to
send half a dozen people to JavaOne.

They wont lie down, but they also don't always come in with that tail
light strategy and win.  They often don't actually.

In the end, choose the right technology today for your business.  You
can never predict the future.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Image ScaleContent

[Janice Karin]

It’s actually working as expected.
By default, the size of an Image control is the size of its contents.
scaleContent is set to true by default, but that only says the image itself
should fill the Image control and thus has no effect unless you add width and
height properties to the Image control. If you add width=”100%”,
the Image control should expand and contract as you resize the application. The
image itself, however, won’t. The problem is that maintainAspectRatio is
also set to true by default and that trumps resizing requests. If you want to
allow the image to resize only in the horizontal direction and don’t care
if it gets distorted (which appears to be the case from your original code),
set maintainAspectRatio=”false”. Try this:

 


marginLeft="0" marginRight="0" horizontalGap="0"
backgroundColor="#71897F">



'../images/MainMenuBackground.png')"/>





 

You can read more about
maintainAspectRatio here:

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2: pricing info

[Robert Thompson]

That's cool, but believe me, I've seen things that one
should not see from actual Microsoft documents.

Flash is here to stay, but I believe a battle will
ensue in the next year or so and it will be
"diversionary" as is always the case with ms.

They are smart people but apply less of their smarts
to products, and more of it to very diversionary ways
to offset who might be to blame.

Take the Java JVM, they licensed it, gave a diplomatic
outward idea of supporting it, and it was found during
trial that they purposely hacked it to perform poorly.

They will _not_ I believe do this in IE7 -- but I _do_
believe it's entirely possible for them to use
co-branded browsers of theirs to "accidently
purposely" pass off bad code to other markets.

It always takes a offensive position with people like
this; they live by a different philosophy and are very
persistent and clever in diversionary tactics of
long-term competition; patient also.

Avalon is good; good for Windows.  But the essence of
Flash is great performance on multiple platforms, and
it will take good graphics engines in OSX and Linux
and Flash support of them to keep competetive.

Remember, unfortunately IE and Windows still dominate.

What I've found is MS competes nominally when on a
level playing field; they are the typical "Born on 3rd
Base and wake up thinking they hit a triple play"
people.

All I'm saying is this; I'm on Macromedias side; I'm
not looking for the destruction of MS, but I am very
aware of what they are, who they are (they are what
they do and they can never escape that), and the fact
that I believe those high up such as billg and mulglia
and alchin etc. and even whats-his-shiny-head-name,
they believe it's perfectly fine in their hearts to
compete like they do -- Please just keep an eye on
them Macromedia.  I realize there's a need to
cooperate -- but look them in the eye diplomatically
but fully realize there are documents that show what
kind of people they are and they cannot be trusted
unfortunately until they have a long term proof of it.

RE: [flexcoders] need help from web service in action script 2

[Mink, Joseph]

Hi,
 
I was unable to dynamically instantiate Webservice objects 
in ActionScript (this has been rather extensively discussed in this group 
previously).  Macromedia pretty much told me that dynamic instantiation of 
Webservice objects was not supported in Flex 1.5, and that you must define the 
Webservice object statically in MXML.
 
See the flex docs for how to do that, here's mine as a 
reference:
 
    
    fault="wsFault 
(event)"    
id="uiMgrWs"    
protocol="http"    wsdl="http://localhost:8080/uimanager/UIManagerService?wsdl">    
    
    
    
    

 
Hope that's worth something to you!  Your AS code can 
refer to the above object as uiMgrWs, and might call something like 
uiMgrWS.getAlerts ();

Re: [flexcoders] Is there a way to force a toolTip to show rather than rolling mouse over ?

[Bruno Martins]

Hi,
 
First:
Try use this functions in flex 1.5:
ToolTipManager.createAndShowTip();
ToolTipManager.hideAndDestroyTip();
Second:
Use this:

 showDataTips="true">

Tell me, if it works.
Bye.

The goal was to not restart the server.  There is some irony in a
setting called "production" which requires the server to come down .

[flexcoders] Reuse form for create and update

[Richard Rodseth]

Are there any special tips or tricks or sample code for re-using a form
component in a create scenario (perhaps in a modal dialog) and an
update scenario?
In particular, I wondered about omitting the submit/cancel buttons from
the reusable piece vs setting attributes to control whether they are
there or not and what events get fired.

I thought the reusable piece could include the form model (a typed
variable) and methods to populate and de-populate  the controls
and trigger validation, and the container would have the buttons and
invoke these methods and set the model to a new instance or an existing
instance as appropriate.

I suppose by moving the buttons to the container (i.e. outside of the form itself) I may sacrifice some alignment control.

- Richard

Re: [flexcoders] Seeing double in DataGrid

[P Trisnadi]

Here is a simple app I did:

Here is the imageCellRenderer1 (imageCellRenderer2 is identical, except for the image pulled)

--





    

    var obj1:Object;

    function setValue(str:String,item:Object) {

    if (item.working=="0") {

    obj1=item;

    obj1.icon="contentA0.jpg";

    visible=true

    } else {

    obj1=item;

    obj1.icon="contentA1.jpg";

    visible=true

    }

    }

When ran, DataGrid "allComp" displays 3 columns. The second and third
column look right. However the first column always displays what's in
the second column. I swapped the cellRenderer code, and first column
NEVER displays its content properly...



Any idea??? :|

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Code-only Flex apps

[Daniel Cascais]

OK, so the unanimous response is: Use MXML!

Got some good points from you guys, thanks. I'll probably be around
more often from now on, now that I'm getting acquainted with Flex and
its Framework.

Just to make things clear (Dave): As you can see from my posts, I am
not preaching… Only making sure I'm not missing anything important
before I start messing with Flex for real. I've been developing with
Java and AS for quite some time now, and couldn't agree more that the
simpler/quicker option is always better, unless you are loosing out on
control (V2 Flash Components), which isn't the case with the Flex
Framework (and mxml).

Now off to get used to a new development paradigm.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Forcing Recompile in production mode

[Andrew Kinloch]

There is a way,
it seems somewhat backwards and im sure there a re better methods but this is
what I did.

 

1. Change the
servers flex config file and set production mode to false.

 

2. Restart flex

 

3. Browse to
the .mxml file and it will recompile it

 

4. Once you are
happy that it has implemented these changes and no further changes are required
alter the flex config file and set production mode to true and restart again.

Do the changes show up after a time period?
If so, how do I find out what the time is.

Dear to the heart, indeed!  A recent lane-split passed

lane-splitting-illegal state of VA.  Luckily the whole experience was one 
of braking, because I'd have only had ~30hp to put to the road if acceleration

I find design patterns to beincredibly useful for attaching names to common

could/should beimplemented) but I find them unhelpful whenever they're 
wedged into acontext where the potential user of the pattern hasn't

coding themselvesinto a corner.  They get locked up in a terror that 
they aren'tfollowing the pattern to the letter, and freak out when the 
patternisn't a 100% match for what they're trying to do.  I once saw 
some codethat had a class factory that produced class factories, for no 
reasonother than they didn't dare put two factory methods on the same 
object,because the pattern didn't say that was ok.To bring it back 
to an area near and dear to my heart, its likeexplaining lanesplitting

Sure, there are lots of best practices andpotential gotchas and

[flexcoders] FLEX Partnership Opportunity

[Alex & Alex]

Hello developers,

I own a 4 cpu Flex license which apparently cannot be sold and I am 
entitled to free upgrade to FLEX 2.0 Enterprise etc...

I am looking for serious Flex developers who have a project in mind or 
on the way or even ready to partner with or arrange some kind of deal.

I will provide the hardware as well.

Please contact me if you have anything in mind, even if its not in the 
above premises. EMAIL: atsoukias @ gmail.com

Thanks,
Alexander Tsoukias

[flexcoders] custom components and custom data provider - howto?

[negttid]

Hi there,

I am looking at Flex (1.5) for my diploma thesis, which is about RIAs.
I want to build a sample application using different approaches:
html/js, openlaszlo, flex, etc.

I have already started. html/js was usual, openLaszlo was easy, too.
But with Flex I have several problems to get into. ;-)

So perhaps I can discuss my problem on the following example code:



http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; xmlns:local="*"
width="800" height="800" styleName="plain" usePreloader="false"
backgroundColor="#ff">





















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













In this example I transmit data by a class member variable (of the
custom component mxml "class"). What I really want to do is, to have a
custom dataprovider (xml) to load in the application. the application
then should be able to load the number of the custom component, that
is specified in the xml and to put the right labels into each of them. 

I have problems to use documentation of macromedia for dataprovider,
because the examples are all for their out-of-the-box components, just
like DataGrid.

Can anyone please help?

Regards,
Matthew

RE: [flexcoders] Dual core license policy

[João Fernandes]

I must be 
missunderstanding it but the Licensing paragraph says and I quote:
 
" 
However, the trend seems to be counting dual-core chips as a single processor as 
Microsoft, IBM, Intel, and AMD support this view. Oracle was counting each core 
as a processor but came up with a formula that is a compromise. IBM and 
Microsoft count a multi-chip-module as multiple processors. If 
multi-chip-modules counted as one processor then CPU makers would have an 
incentive to make large expensive multi-chip-modules so their customers saved on 
software licensing. So it seems like the industry is heading towards counting 
each die as a processor, no matter how many cores each die has ..."
 
What I can understand from this paragraph is 
that companies are targeting the number of dies and not the n of cores inside 
them.

I disagree... for all interpretations of the definition at

cpu's/processors.  That's the point.  A mobo with one dual core 
processor uses almost the same power as a mobo with 2 separate processors.  
All they managed to do was squeeze 2 cpu's on one die. 
 
It's 2 cpu's.

[flexcoders] Flex prototype - production approach

[superabe superabe]

Just curious about what folks here on the list think / have experienced about the prototype based approach to RIA developemnt with Flex.
 
Am evaluting a potential project that needs to be prototyped first and eventually built using Flex, and trying to decide what to use for prototyping and how much of the prototype can be re-used in the final app.

 
The two options I see, are :
 
A. do a quick prototype in Flex or Flash for the purposes of feature gathering / usbility. The start the production app from scratch in Flex.
 
B. Do a more planned out / better architected prototype in Flex , that can be re-used substantially towards the production app.
 
Am interested to know what pros' and cons people have faced with both approaches.
TIA

[flexcoders] Nested Repeaters ...( was Force binding for Arrays)

[superabe superabe]

Yup Excellent guess :-)
I am facing some perf. issue and am trying to identify / rule out potential bottlenecks.
 
The array reset method, is being used to reset the entire application so a delay is acceptable there.
However, right now my biggest hit is in a component that (being created dynamically) uses 4 nested repeaters, to display a non-uniform grid.
Am considering re-writing it using Actionscript and maybe replace some of the layout containers like HBox and Vboxes with a Canvas where possible.
 
Do you have any other general rules / approaches to consider while refactoring a bunch of nested repeaters ?

It's not the end of the world in Flex 1.5, it will not be a good idea in Flex 2 (but we provide new interfaces to make it even easier).  It also depends what the binding destination is doing with the array.  If it's a DataGrid there's a lot more invalidating and redrawing that happens if you re-assign the whole array vs. just notifying it that one item changed.  Repeater is even worse.  Something that is just holding a reference, less of a big deal.  My guess is that you are binding to something that does react to the array and therefore there is a performance impact in redrawing all the time.

ok...I do need to reset the array at times, and also to change an item in the index.

Is there any perf hit by reassiging the variable to itself ?

You don't need to do that; Array's in Flex already have the DataProvider API (in 1.5), and thus generate events.

So, if you are changing an index, ensure you do:

 

my_array.addItem(someItem)

 

Instead of:

 

my_array.push(someItem)

 

If you do the addItem, it'll trigger the event, and update whatever controls is bound to the array.  Only reset the array entirely if the whole array changes.

I realize that we can force binding for Arrays to occur, when modifying one of their indexes by doing something like

 

Model.myList = Model.myList

 

Is there any performance reasons or other reasons why this would be a bad idea to use?
