[flexcoders] prompt property in ComboBox as array?
Hi flexcoders,
There's a prompt property in the ComboBox control in Flex 1.5. The
value can be either a string or an array (I bet you didn't know about
the array bit ;) )
e.g.
mx:ComboBox dataProvider={['1', '2', '3']} prompt=-select one- /
mx:ComboBox dataProvider={['1', '2', '3']} prompt={['a', 'b', 'c']} /
In the second example, the items 'a', 'b' and 'c' get displayed in the
dropdown list as prompts.
Has anyone ever used prompt as an _array_? What was the use-case?
(Reply only if you've used it as an _array_ in a real application.)

Re: [flexcoders] flex 2 [feature request]: Image complete event - need init event
On 11/9/05, Muzak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [snip] So it would be nice to have an init event for the Image control so we don't have to jump through hoops when we need to retrieve width, height, etc.. of loaded content. In fact, (IMO) dump the complete event and replace with init ;-) Thanks, I've logged a bug. flash.display.Loader has 8 events and only 4 are exposed through the Loader component. I think all 8 should be exposed. Meanwhile, I think you'll have to access the internal flash.display.Loader instance using the 'content' property and listening for the 'init' event on that directly.

[flexcoders] Lazy loading components
I'm curious what others have found as a solution to this sort of situation I find myself in. I'm considering converting a rather large management console into Flex 2.0 (obviously not publicly available until the production release) and David Mendels informed me that my particular concern might be able to be addressed here. The interface would be rather large and what I would really like to do is compile discrete sections of the application using separate MXML files and then have the compiled swc's or swf's lazy loaded when that part of the application is accessed. It looks as though RSL's still load all the libraries without any sense of priority. I would prefer that the libraries, swc's or whatever are only loaded when specified either through a MXML tag (to allow the libraries to be buffered and loaded before the user is expected to need it) or when accessed. The preferable method would obviously be to allow one to create SWC's, reference them in the MX:Application tag, and then be able to do something like MX:loadLibrary library=someswcref onLoad=someFunction() / and allow the object to be loaded with a callback once its loaded. That would not only allow a developer to load objects when a user may potentially want to use it, but it would allow for a callback so it could potentially have a loading state end once the SWC is loaded. I know a person could simply load the SWF using the load call but that seems to put up walls of what parts can interact with other parts. I'm not entirely sure as to how the scope is affected with a load call, but I suspect you don't have the access you would have in an application that's directly loaded. Having it built in to allow lazy loading would seem to allow large applications. There has to be something like this as anything network wise needs to have methods to be concerned with network utilization. -Courtney Couch www.courtneycouch.com Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Fair play?

You need to make sure that the dataProvider you assign to the Tree is single Object, not an array. So where you have treeDetails that should not be an Array but perhaps just the object. I would then also wait to assign the Tree.dataProvider until the result has come back. That way you can set up the whole structure, assign the dataProvider, and the nodes should be constructed correctly.
Good luck!

[flexcoders] Handle result from web-service callas
Good day all.. I was just wondering if it is possible to attach an event handler to a web-service result Event so that the results can be handled from anywhere in the application and not be specifically tied... to the service... for example result=doSomething(event.result) While this still works. If you have multiple parts of u're application wanting data from the same service how do i switch or attach a result handler without declearing another web-service object.. This is the Current Problem i face... Anyone that could share some light on this issue will be greatly appreciated..-- Kenlie BrowneSoftware Developer -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!

Re: [flexcoders] Lazy loading components
MXML SWC's are compiled into a final SWF. Classes are compiled in the order in which they reference eachother. They are immediately available to you when your Flex application starts. Remote Shared Librarires (RSL's), allow multiple Flex applications (SWFs) to share the same components, both the internal Flex ones, and ones you make and plan to make available. They are loaded in order, like the above with the addition of having to download the SWF they are in first; from then on, this SWF is cached in your browser cache. You can treat them as normal components classes that you can immediately access and call all methods on. You have 2 options for lazy instantiation; one is to utilize gregarious amounts of queued or none creationPolicies for your containers, and the other is load in dynamically loaded SWF's. While the former provides a lot more control over what is loaded, and when, as well as expediating the loading of your application, and improving start up time, eventually, in using all the app, all controls will eventually exist, just not be displayed. For Flex 2 this isn't that huge of a deal, but for 1.5, even if a visual element isn't shown, it still is rendered, albeit slightly. As such, things could slow down later on depending on what you are doing. The other option is to build in sections and/or components in SWF's. While this is the easiest way to load in multiple, unrelated sections with the ability to physically remove assets when you are done with them, thus clearing resources, this can become a management nightmare depending on how many SWF's you plan to use this way. Additionally, although both SWF's can use the same RSL's, they cannot share resources, and classes loaded between them is too confusing to write briefly in this email. Sometimes you have no choice to do this as it's the most efficient way, and utilizing interfaces, one can lessen the pain of having no compiler to help you connect things at runtime. I personally recommend against this. Hope that helps. - Original Message - From: Courtney Couch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 12:35 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Lazy loading components I'm curious what others have found as a solution to this sort of situation I find myself in. I'm considering converting a rather large management console into Flex 2.0 (obviously not publicly available until the production release) and David Mendels informed me that my particular concern might be able to be addressed here. The interface would be rather large and what I would really like to do is compile discrete sections of the application using separate MXML files and then have the compiled swc's or swf's lazy loaded when that part of the application is accessed. It looks as though RSL's still load all the libraries without any sense of priority. I would prefer that the libraries, swc's or whatever are only loaded when specified either through a MXML tag (to allow the libraries to be buffered and loaded before the user is expected to need it) or when accessed. The preferable method would obviously be to allow one to create SWC's, reference them in the MX:Application tag, and then be able to do something like MX:loadLibrary library=someswcref onLoad=someFunction() / and allow the object to be loaded with a callback once its loaded. That would not only allow a developer to load objects when a user may potentially want to use it, but it would allow for a callback so it could potentially have a loading state end once the SWC is loaded. I know a person could simply load the SWF using the load call but that seems to put up walls of what parts can interact with other parts. I'm not entirely sure as to how the scope is affected with a load call, but I suspect you don't have the access you would have in an application that's directly loaded. Having it built in to allow lazy loading would seem to allow large applications. There has to be something like this as anything network wise needs to have methods to be concerned with network utilization. -Courtney Couch www.courtneycouch.com -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] Lazy loading components
Loading in the order of reference doesn't give me enough flexibility as the order of reference isn't necessarily the order in which the user will progress through the interface. The loading of the controls seems to be a bad solution as well. As you said eventually all the controls will exist. Also, are you familiar with how the object scope works for loaded swf's? Is it possible for callbacks from loaded swf's? If not then that wont work either. As they would be components in an event driven interface and would need to pass events to the calling swf. The SWF would potentially need to be able to callback to the loaded swf on events as well. The sections as individual SWF's also doesn't seem to work for large applications as it's you pointed out it's a management nightmare. It seems that perhaps it really isn't designed with large interfaces in mind yet? So perhaps some sort of lazy loading mechanism for parts of the application so its not compiled into a single SWF file should be on some sort of feature request list. If only that were built into it so one could simply develop that into the MXML and AS files and not have to worry about some sort of import/separate interface parts as a hack/workaround. -Courtney Couch www.courtneycouch.com -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JesterXL Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 6:54 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Lazy loading components MXML SWC's are compiled into a final SWF.

Re: [flexcoders] Lazy loading components
To get the nomenclature down, I think of Objects in Flex as a datatype, or a catch all phrase for classes and instances that do not have a visual component. Components to me are that visual component. That said, I'm confused why order is an issue; could you elaborate? If you write all of your classes, the Flex compiler takes care of all depencencys and load order for you. Yeah, you can call methods on loaded SWF's, and they can call methods on the SWF that loaded them, assuming both are in the same domain, or the domain has a crossdomain.xml file that says otherwise. I've used the above to give my Flex 1.5 app the ability to utilize Flash Player 8 features; I load in a Flash Player 8 swf into a Flex panel, and the Flex panel makes method calls on it. If the user has Flash Player 7, they won't see anything for that 1 panel, but if they have Flash Player 8, it'll work fine. I've had no problems with large interfaces in Flex; those who have are loading thousands of forms, but I have yet to resolve how they are building things, and why they need soo many unique forms and why they couldn't reuse elements. In my opinion, I've always been successful if I build things, and re-factor as need be. Any performance issue I've had with Flex or Flash was something glaring, and easy to overcome. Therefore, I'd just build a pilot of what you want, and address the issues as they come up vs. theorizing over potential problems that don't even exist yet. - Original Message - From: Courtney Couch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 10:23 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Lazy loading components Loading in the order of reference doesn't give me enough flexibility as the order of reference isn't necessarily the order in which the user will progress through the interface.

[flexcoders] Re: Handle result from web-service callas
A standard event broker way of handling this is to have a single handler which then marshalls the result object off to delegates based on the object returned. So say a standard handler function like handleWSResult() You register this as the result handler. Interested listeners register their interest in that result type ahead of time. Simply store the registrations inside a hash map or an associative array. The handle WSResult() function simply determines the returned object type, and forwards the object to specific handlers who registered their interest in that object. This delegating handler model is resonably common and in the player model is works pretty well. (It struggles in a more concurrent model like Swing but...) There are feameworks that specialize in event delegation and controlling, I just personally like keeping simple problems simple. -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.

RE: [flexcoders] Lazy loading components
I was using objects to be inclusive of components and objects as you defined. (Coming from Java background, everything is an object ;) ) The problem with the flex compiler trying to take care of load order is that if the path through the application is any one of hundreds of paths, then it seems that the compiler lacks the psychic ability to determine the optimum order to compile the objects/components in. The loading SWF's may be a solution based on the object structure being interoperable as you've stated. The problem with building and re-factoring as need be is that the process of building a large application costs money in human resources and technology needs to be evaluated in the theoretical phase before embarking on a long expensive effort only to find out that it won't work. As rebuilding everything using flex 2 would undoubtedly take my guys months to do, just trying it out to see is not really a cost effective solution unless some sort of preliminary evaluation as to methods to avoid potential bottlenecks in user experience has been handled. A pilot would have to be a rather large project to even begin to experience the problems it seems may occur with flex 2 (which would be an obvious benefit ajax designs would have for large apps). Even aside from even any specific commercial usage, it's good to know potential limitations in technologies available. Anyways, loading swf's, while it feels to me it breaks good consistent design, may be the best solution for anything large.

Re: [flexcoders] Lazy loading components
BTW, if are you going to the route of multiple Flex applications loaded into eachother and other containers at runtime, then I highly suggest you utilize the RSL route; that way, users will cache your common component sets initially, and from thereafter, all other apps you load can point to the same RSL, reducing your filesize costs exponentially. Non-RSL 200k = App1.swf 150k = App2.swf 100k = Support.swf RSL 150k = Components.swf 32k = App1.swf 6k = App2.swf 10k Support.swf - Original Message - From: Courtney Couch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 11:17 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Lazy loading components I was using objects to be inclusive of components and objects as you defined.

[flexcoders] Case insensitive sorting on DataGrid
Hi, Im sure that this must have come up a million times before, but I couldnt find anything on the issue so I thought Id ask here. Has anyone come up with a good way to do case insensitive sorting in a DataGrid? Is creating a hidden column for each sortable value the way to go? Perhaps a custom sort method? I understand there are some performance issues with the Flash Players string sorting, so Id like to learn the most efficient way of handling this.

Head at my alma-matter as he was anal about CLEANROOM DESIGN and I always felt he needed to be open to more pragmatic methods of testingthis sounds like it's it. Do you have a beta program? I'm very interested; especially if I can test Flex2 IDE, Flex2 Enterprise Services with integration via J2EE and RemoteObject and utilize your product. Great Stuff! I feel a new upswing in the technology sector for independent and innovative developers and I credit Macromedia for being a big part of this -- And Apple (thank God for the iPod and Music Production Systems driving this; ie. purchase of Emagic's Logic Pro). -r Luke Bayes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Robert,Here's a great article on Test-Driven Development:http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/testinfected/testing.htmEssentially, AsUnit 3.x is built directly from the JUnit source code. It is a pure ActionScript framework that allows you to construct test fixtures for your applications. It lets you build each encapsulated element of an application, test it, gaurantee it's functionality and then through continuous integration, grow your application over time with confidence. If at any point, you break some long-forgotten entity, your test fixture will notify you immediately with exactly what is broken and why it broke. If you later expose issues (bugs) that went originally untested, you can develop a new test that exposes the behavior, then fix it and be assured that it won't be reintroduced.This is an alternative approach to what's known as "Waterfall" development, and without a clean unit test framework, it's very difficult to implement...Thanks for asking!Luke Bayeswww.asunit.com On 11/7/05, Robert Thompson wrote: Luke, could you please explain just what AsUnit does that's so special? thx Yahoo!

[flexcoders] dragEnter only works on root tag
If I do this on my panel:

I can clearly see the cursor showing an allowable drop, and upon letting go
of the mouse, she drops.
However, if I do:

{
event.handled = true;
}
In my script tag which is the 2nd tag (first is metadata tag), she doesn't
allow a drop.
wtf?

On 11/4/05, Robert Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: AJAX is a name, not really a technology.Flash is atrue technology with an incredible reach and userpenetration...and now with Flex and Video in FP8,great things are on the horizon _for_everybody_ on anequal palying field. But you can trust with the awesome video of Flash8,that the threat to people like MS is now bigger thanever with their Smart Client efforts and Avalon. Not sure on that last remark, i think it will be anyones guess which becomes the new hype of the year. Not many large enterprise organisations have team members who are even aware of FLEX existance... number of people i've spoken about it in the last couple of years has shocked me into that fact. Now, Microsoft do one thing extremly well, that is marketing. If you are in a situation where you're looking to switch of a legacy backend solution, or better yet, upgrade it to meet new direction in ones business the last thing you want in that equation is UI democracy or complexity. Products like FLEX and AVALON will get a jersey in the pickings but it will most likely come down to what type of business one is in, and who knows more about either product. A lot of companies bank on .NET soley for the fact its got a big Microsoft logo attached to it, and well it could also because their is a strong Human Resource allocation in their local sector for .NET Developers... point is, FLEX may be the XML based hot favourite, but until we get a wider acceptance in both business and human resource, it still has a fair amount of hard yards to fight through. Technology isn't always the answer as sometimes businesses can't cope with the new culture shock. Many of you may not remember a small effort in thelate 90's by Microsoft to come out with a Vector product that was ActiveX based and it was justterrible (I mean a great example of what they aretruly capable of when they don't have leverage)...I'msure Avalon came from that failure and the hope has always been there of overcoming Flash, but I believe Actually, no, RIA development really has only taken off in the past what, 3-4 years at best. Even still a lot of the public on display apps are more Kiosk and not really scaled as deep as some would prefer or like. The biggest eye opener for the online generation world wide was the fact that web applications existed. Thinware deployment has been a dream for majority large corporations as it becomes a eat as you need equation. The likes of Microsoft and I guess all of the other big players (Sun with Java Webstart, Macromedia wtih Flash, Oracle with UAX etc) want in on that dream and are willing to slot in a complex backend system to back the UI up. No, the days where it would be thickware client development that has to overcome tonnes of problems with compatability issues has reached a point where most case studies in a piece of software, really shouldn't be that hard (inventory management system, invoice trackings, workflow etc). Business Process Modeling / Workflow is probably the biggest driving force behind the creation of the above products as when you start to break things down into portions what are we all really doing? Trying to provide a end to end solution based on a problem thus workflow is in the picture. Now, i've ranted about this before but essentially what we have in our hands with FLEX today (not tommorow) is the ability to create a Unified View over the top of disparate backend systems. The company co-founded, omniEffect (shameless plug) specialises in basically putting a unified front end to systems that are so complex, they have signs on the machines saying Don't touch, we have no idea what this software does. The ability via UI to string together disparate complex backend technologies in a seamless matter is like showing folks Color TV for the first time ! (You mean big bird is yellow who would of thought!). An example is security, if you are talking to say 3 backend systems each with their own domain of security, and you want to drag fileX from BESystem1 to fileY to BESystem2, magic happens in the backend but at the same time their needs to be a way to authenticate and allocate security models on the fly... this is the easiest part in FLEX, as you can ping/pong XXX number of security models for handshake all via things like RemoteObject/SOAP and within a seamless manner. Trying to do that with other technologies is well harder? I seriously doubt Microsoft sat down in a board room and said right, we need to kill Macromedia quick, so lets re-do our entire product line and re-engineer our operating system soley to take on Macromedia... My thoughts are that Microsoft listened to the gripes their developer base had with .NET (balmer would rant Developers..Developers..Developers all the time) and improved on the concept, by hiring guys who hated the company and asking them Do it better, but do it big (Keeping in mind, Microsoft have developers like you and me, guys who hated
[flexcoders] Redeploying a Flex webapp on Tomcat - locks not released
I saw a post before about someone having trouble redeploying with Weblogic. Were having the same trouble with Tomcat on Windows. We have a webapp that includes Flex, but we cant do an undeploy or a reload without having to shutdown the server and explicity deleting the webapp directory because the locks on the jars in WEB-INF\flex\jars arent being released, even though the webapp has been stopped. An undeploy with remove all other webapp artifacts except for this directory, effectively preventing redeploying the webapp without a server restart. Tomcat has a work around: you can set the antiResourceLocking=true attribute in conf/context.xml before starting Tomcat, but for us, this is a bad solution because of the size of our webapp. Setting this attribute is known to drastically increase webapp startup time. Ive heard that there wont be a solution for this until Flex 2.0, but Id really like to know if thats the case, or if anyone else has discovered a workaround for this issue. Thanks!

[flexcoders] File Upload over HTTPS: Solved!
All,
There have been a lot of posts recently at the MACR web site, in the
MACR NNTP newsgroups and several threads here (as well as other
places) about using the file upload features over HTTPS.
Specifically, the problem many folks saw was that it worked great on
HTTP but failed with an IOError when using HTTPS. Earlier in the
week our team at Cynergy determined that it was clearly a
crossdomain.xml issue since HTTPS worked properly on ports above
1024, e.g. 8443. With this in mind, we set out to find the right
combination of settings to make HTTPS work properly on its home port
of 443.
We now have a working solution on two different servers and we
wanted to share this knowledge with the community.
The problem actually has several variables and factors that need to
be considered.
First and foremost, our formula for success relied on loadPolicyFile
():
System.security.loadPolicyFile
('https://flexdemos.cynergysystems.com/support/crossdomain.xml');
The docs of this method state that the player caches these policies,
so be sure to close all Flash Player instances down. The docs also
state that this call must occur before any access is attempted. In
our application we found that making the call several lines before
the upload was attempted failed. How do we know it failed? Our web
server access logs didn't show crossdomain.xml ever being
requested. Once we moved this line of code to be the first code
executed inside of our application's initialize event, we suddenly
saw the request come through on our access logs. At last- progress!
Progress, but not success. Uploading still failed with a bland
IOError. We ended up trying several different combinations, and
what we found was that we had to use explicit absolute URLs and port
numbers. Our crossdomain.xml file then read:
?xml version=1.0?
!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy
SYSTEM http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd;
cross-domain-policy
allow-access-from domain=flexdemos.cynergysystems.com to-
ports=443 /
/cross-domain-policy
Notice how we didn't use the * anywhere in the file- we explicitly
authorized our fully named domain and port 443.
Finally, the URL used to do the upload also required explicit
definition. We used:
https://flexdemos.cynergysystems.com:443/support/websrv/uploadservlet
?threadid= + tId.toString();
Notice in particular that we explicitly set port 443. Not sure why
that was required, but it was and it works ;-)
With this combination of settings, we are successfully using
fileIO.swf with Flex 1.5/Flash Player 8 over HTTPS on port 443 in
production.
I hope this information is useful to many, if only to confirm that
the code MACR provided does indeed work properly. The debate will
now rage over the fact that absolute URLs and explicit ports have to
be declared- bug or not? Who knows...
HTH,
Jason

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2:Class Problem?
Id guess that means that it cant
find stdFuncs since you shouldnt get an error passing null into the parameters
so the only place on that line that you try to access a property is of stdFuncs.

Hi List,
I try to code a auto complete ComboBox. It nearly
woks, I give you my code:
?xml version=1.0
encoding=UTF-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml
mx:Script
![CDATA[
var my_select;
function completeComboBox(){
var input_length = brand.value.length;
for(var i=0; i brands.brand.length; i++){
if(brands.brand[i].substr(0,input_length) ==
brand.value.toUpperCase().substr(0,input_length)){
brand.text = brands.brand[i];
break;

}
}
]]

editable=true
change=completeComboBox() /
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Form
mx:TextArea text={my_select} width=100%
height=25%/mx:TextArea
/mx:Panel
/mx:Application
If I type only one character, the completion works
well. The problem is a user
input longer than one character.
I'll give you an example. Lets say I'm searching
for the brand Mercedes-Benz.
I type M, auto completion is executed and there is
Malaguti in the editable
ComboBox. The cursor is behind the M.
I search for Mercedes-Benz and type
e. The e is inserted at
the cursor position and there is Mealaguti in the
ComboBox.
Is there any possibility to cut off everything
which is behind the cursor, so
the auto completion only uses characters I typed
in?
Any thougt is appreciated.

Subject: [flexcoders] File Upload over HTTPS: Solved!
All,
There have been a lot of posts recently at the MACR web site, in the
MACR NNTP newsgroups and several threads here (as well as other
places) about using the file upload features over HTTPS.
Specifically, the problem many folks saw was that it worked great on
HTTP but failed with an IOError when using HTTPS. Earlier in the
week our team at Cynergy determined that it was clearly a
crossdomain.xml issue since HTTPS worked properly on ports above
1024, e.g. 8443. With this in mind, we set out to find the right
combination of settings to make HTTPS work properly on its home port
of 443.
We now have a working solution on two different servers and we
wanted to share this knowledge with the community.
The problem actually has several variables and factors that need to
be considered.
First and foremost, our formula for success relied on loadPolicyFile
():
System.security.loadPolicyFile
('https://flexdemos.cynergysystems.com/support/crossdomain.xml');
The docs of this method state that the player caches these policies,
so be sure to close all Flash Player instances down. The docs also
state that this call must occur before any access is attempted. In
our application we found that making the call several lines before
the upload was attempted failed. How do we know it failed? Our web
server access logs didn't show crossdomain.xml ever being
requested. Once we moved this line of code to be the first code
executed inside of our application's initialize event, we suddenly
saw the request come through on our access logs. At last- progress!
Progress, but not success. Uploading still failed with a bland
IOError. We ended up trying several different combinations, and
what we found was that we had to use explicit absolute URLs and port
numbers. Our crossdomain.xml file then read:
?xml version=1.0?
!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy
SYSTEM http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd;
cross-domain-policy
allow-access-from domain=flexdemos.cynergysystems.com to-
ports=443 /
/cross-domain-policy
Notice how we didn't use the * anywhere in the file- we explicitly
authorized our fully named domain and port 443.
Finally, the URL used to do the upload also required explicit
definition. We used:
https://flexdemos.cynergysystems.com:443/support/websrv/uploadservlet
?threadid= + tId.toString();
Notice in particular that we explicitly set port 443. Not sure why
that was required, but it was and it works ;-)
With this combination of settings, we are successfully using
fileIO.swf with Flex 1.5/Flash Player 8 over HTTPS on port 443 in
production.
I hope this information is useful to many, if only to confirm that
the code MACR provided does indeed work properly. The debate will
now rage over the fact that absolute URLs and explicit ports have to
be declared- bug or not? Who knows...
HTH,
Jason

Re: [flexcoders] Creating custom v3 components
On 11/3/05, Xavi Beumala [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
For what I've seen v3 components are based on a template method pattern
like did v2.
By v3 components, I assume you mean the new Flex 2 components...
If I'm not wrong this is the method invocation workflow :
Constructor
Initialize
createChildren
childrenCreated
measure
updateDisplayList
The order is correct, but it's longer than that. The documentation is
not ready yet.
Instead of calling invalidate() like in v2, now, if I'm not wrong, we
can call redraw(Boolean) or invalidateDisplayList(). On the other hand
Yes, previously we had invalidateLayout() and invalidate()
corresponding with layoutChildren() and draw()
Now in the new API we have just one method that lays out and draw the
component: updateDisplayList(). To have updateDisplayList() called on
the next frame, call invalidateDisplayList()
when you call addChild, internally invalidateDisplayList is called. My
problem is that if in updateDisplayList() overriden method I add an
addChild statement then an infinite loop starts.
So why would you add a child unconditionally? You obviously want to
add a child only if it's not there, right?
if (!button)
{
button = new Button();
button.label = Cool;
addChild(button);
}
