[flexcoders] Re: Error executing database querry

[vmlr123]

Yes, as you said the problem was with sql query.
for integer field  i was parsing a value 
('#arguments.brandToAdd.brand_id#') which was throwing error.

Also one more thing which should be noticed here is,  for db2 it 
doesnt take double quotes when you insert data. thank you

 One of the practices I've been using in Flex development using CF 
is to 
 build a function test page that can be used to test functions in 
the 
 CFC's that your Flex app will be calling. This makes it easier when 
 debugging to verify if everything on the CF side is good and get 
the 
 detailed CF diagnostics when the function fails.
 
 Though SQL wise there could be a lot of things that could cause the 
 stuff below to bomb. Eg if brand_id is an integer field the 
 '#arguments.brandToAdd.brand_id#' is trying to pass a string to 
that 
 field. Likewise with created_by, and modified_by.

 var some_xml:XML = new XML();
 some_xml.parseXML(somexml/some);

 Let's try the next thing: create XML element in mxml and before this

 keep-generated-astrue/keep-generated-as. and then compile mxml.
 
 Then open generated *.as file and see what is there.
 
 From there we can take this script:
 
 var myXML:XMLNode;
 
 function createXML() {
 myXML = mx.utils.XMLUtil.createXML(document\n data/\n/document);
 }
 
 By this way we can manually embed XML file via ActionScript.

[flexcoders] Extra space problem in ViewStack while using Text with 100% width defined

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

Look at this application:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
mx:ViewStack width=100% borderStyle=solid
mx:VBox width=100% borderStyle=solid
mx:Text width=100% text=An Ithaca College dean is
encouraging students to instead think small - and she's offering a $5,000
prize to do it. The school has invited high school and college students
across America to submit a 30-second movie shot entirely with a cell phone.
/
/mx:VBox
/mx:ViewStack

Why does extra space appear below the text? What is the proper way to get
rid of this bug? Thank you.

Sorry for previous partial message.

Does anyone have any examples of using the XMLEncoder class in Flex 2.0.
Language reference is here:

And/or

Does anyone have an example of using the contentType set to
application/xml in an HTTPService call?  
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex/langref/mx/rpc/http/HTTPService.html#contentType

In particular how would I get this data if it was sent to a PHP script
since I imagine you wouldn't be able to use $_REQUEST['']...

[flexcoders] Why not XSD import not use in WSDL file in Flex WebService!

[flexhtoo]

The following are that I call Web-Service in Flex! But I have one
problem  in this from.

mx:WebService id=ws
wsdl=http://localhost:8080/MyWebService/HelloWebService?WSDL;
service=HelloService
userProxy=false
showBusyCursor=true
fault=Alert.show('WSDL Load error');

/mx:WebService

mx:Button label=Hello World
click=ws.getHelloWorld.send([{message:Hello Flex!!!}])/

mx:Script
   ![CDATA[

// Implement the event handler

   ]]
/mx:Script




In this situtation I haven't click could not result! 
It shown up error tns:helloWorld cannot resolve!

That time I copy the WSDL manually and for fix this problem that I
remove the 
xsd:schema
xsd:import namespace=http://com.test.application/HelloWS;
schemaLocation=http://localhost:8080/MyWebService/schema/HelloService_schema1.xsd/
/xsd:schema
with its schemalocation in browse and copy the entire schema into that
text.

And then I run it. It's ok. Why can't import XSD in WSDL!


And then Another Problem!
It is RPC not Doc Lit...


I want to konw how to and what change this source for Document Lit.

 Could it be that you're getting events from child objects as well?  If
 that's the case, you could check for the event object's 'target'
 property to make sure it refers to the object you're listening for.
 
  function creationCompleteHandler(event)
  {
if (event.target == myCanvas) {
 ...
}
  }

You're right, it's because of event bubbling and can be solved by 
checking event phase for equality with EventPhase.AT_TARGET constant as 
well.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Would this make a program secure

[nostra72]

I guess what your saying is in a nutshell is all I have to do to make my site secure is store it in the right directory and then make sure the web.xml file is edited to make my site secure? I looked up the file you were writing lines from. It looked different on my computer than on yours so I assume the directory is different. Is that pretty much it?

 Are there other developers out here who've been building apps that

We have a similar but slightly different use-case (and unresolved
problem, for that matter): Our clients will be all over the world and
will be sending dates back to our database via RemoteObject calls.
When the date object is serialized, Flex automatically takes care of
updating the time zone information. However, this is actually *not*
what we want to happen because we are sending back dates with 00:00:00
timestamps (i.e. no time information). However, when this information
crosses timezones during serialization, 00:00:00 becomes a time
(midnight), which is then offset according to the timezone difference,
and the date possibly becomes a day off. E.g. a date of 25-Dec-2005
00:00:00 GMT on the client becomes 24-Dec-2005 17:00:00 EST in the
database. And those of us who celebrate Christmas know that 24-Dec !=
25-Dec

If there was a way that we could configure our clients to work in the
same timezone as our server, then we'd be all set. Alternatively, if
we could configure serialization to ignore timezone information then
our dates wouldn't be corrupted. Maybe there is already an easy
solution. I haven't had a chance to dig into the problem too much. But
any suggestions are appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] [Flex 2.0] XMLEncoder

[Matt Chotin]

XMLEncoder is really simple.  You'll have a function that takes an
object as a parameter.  That function is expected to return an object of
type XML.  How you create that XML object is completely up to you.  So
you can just go through all of your object properties and build up an
XML document however you please.  

As for PHP I don't know the language so I'm not sure how it would work.
The thing is that the data is not going to come through as form encoding
so the normal request object is not going to be some Map, it should just
be the character data.

As an alternative you could of course send a single parameter as a
String to your HTTPService, just do your own object-to-string conversion
before calling send() (and that could turn the object into an XML
string).

HTH,
Matt

RE: [flexcoders] Nested faceless components. keeping IDs and DataBinding

[Matt Chotin]

I think we're going to allow nested ids in Flex 2.  

For Flex 1.5 though you might be able to make Person an MXMLObject which
would then have its initialized() method called as it gets created.
That call would pass the MXML document which created the object and you
could then attach the person using an id.  We have hard-coded id to
not be allowed on deeper faceless objects, but you could use another
name and then just assign that as the variable name for the document.
Something like this:

function initialized(document, id):Void
{
  Var myId:String = this['valueYouPicked'];
  Document[myId] = this;
}

Now what I don't remember is if when we instantiate via the Array if the
MXMLObject initialized will be called.  You'd need to look at the
generated actionscript (turn keep-generated-actionscript on in
flex-config) to be sure.

Subject: [flexcoders] Nested faceless components. keeping IDs and
DataBinding

Hi all,

It would be great to have IDs and databinding available to faceless
data structures.
Unfortunately, there are some restrictions that apply to faceless
components.

Is there any (hacky) way to declare a nested faceless component in an
MXML document and assign a document scoped ID to it ??

This is not legal as there are IDs in the nested components.

c:Person id=foo
c:children
mx:Array
c:Person id=barbie/
c:Person id=birbie/
/mx:Array
/c:children
/c:Person


One ugly way would be to extend a container and do something like the
following

c:Person id=foo
c:Person id=barbie/
c:Person id=birbie/
/c:Person

Now, this limits me to assigning all children to one array... not to
mention the overhead and component-lifecycle-related trouble.


For now the only legal solution is the following I guess...

c:Person id=foo/
c:Person id=barbie parent={foo}/
c:Person id=birbie parent={foo}/


Evidently the benefit of using XML is lost.


Any ideas?

working in 1.5 but there may be problems...

Subject: [flexcoders] Why not XSD import not use in WSDL file in Flex
WebService!

The following are that I call Web-Service in Flex! But I have one
problem  in this from.

mx:WebService id=ws
wsdl=http://localhost:8080/MyWebService/HelloWebService?WSDL;
service=HelloService
userProxy=false
showBusyCursor=true
fault=Alert.show('WSDL Load error');

mx:operation name=getHelloWorld
concurrency=single
resultFormat=e4x
fault=opFaultHandler(event)
result=opResultHandler(event)/
/mx:WebService

mx:Button label=Hello World
click=ws.getHelloWorld.send([{message:Hello Flex!!!}])/

mx:Script
   ![CDATA[

// Implement the event handler

   ]]
/mx:Script




In this situtation I haven't click could not result! 
It shown up error tns:helloWorld cannot resolve!

That time I copy the WSDL manually and for fix this problem that I
remove the 
xsd:schema
xsd:import namespace=http://com.test.application/HelloWS;
schemaLocation=http://localhost:8080/MyWebService/schema/HelloService_s
chema1.xsd/
/xsd:schema
with its schemalocation in browse and copy the entire schema into that
text.

And then I run it. It's ok. Why can't import XSD in WSDL!


And then Another Problem!
It is RPC not Doc Lit...


I want to konw how to and what change this source for Document Lit.

[flexcoders] Custom Validation Error

[JesterXL]

I've been trying to solve this for a week.  I'm making progress, but at a 
snails pace.  My goal is to have my custom component show a tooltip like 
TextInputs do when you have a validation error.

In my debugging various Flex framework files, apparently 
_Application_watcherSetup creates a bunch of PropertyWatchers.  The issue 
is, my custom comonent proprties do not pass in an object for the 2nd 
parameter to PropertyWatcher, and thus do not trigger validation events so 
Binding + ToolTipManager and friends can show a validation error as a 
tooltip with the errorString.

The Application-generated.as file is weird, though; the 
_Application_watcherSetup just has 3 dependecy variables, and I can't find 
who is creating the PropertyWatchers even though the FlexBuilder 1.5 call 
stack claims it's that function.

Any guidance?

RE: [flexcoders] Custom Validation Error

[Matt Chotin]

Do you want it watching per key-stroke or when the user hits enter or
removes focus.  I don't think you want to try to emulate the
PropertyWatcher setup if you have your own component to begin with, it
relies on the compiler knowing what to generate and lots of other setup
independent of the individual component.

So just add an event listener on the input for the change event (per
key-stroke) or on the enter or focusOut event for a more delayed
reaction.  Then in the handler for the event do whatever you want to do,
and if there's a problem set the errorString property.

RE: [flexcoders] Custom Validation Error

[Matt Chotin]

Actually, I'm not paying attention here.  If you have a custom component
and were already using a validator, all you need to do is override
validationFailed and validationSucceeded (I think those are the method
names) and you'll be able to raise your tooltip.  Just make sure that
that the listener property for the validator points to you (which it
should if your component is the source of the binding that triggers
validation, otherwise just set it).

Re: [flexcoders] Custom Validation Error

I love how when I send emails, I make accelerated progress... well, some. 
Ok, looking at TextInput, apparently I needed some weird metatags:

[Bindable]
 [ChangeEvent(valueCommitted)]
   [ChangeEvent(clear)]
   [NonCommittingChangeEvent(change)]

I put those above my public variable, and I now get the tooltip error... 
however, it doesn't draw the red-rect.  I guess I have to implement my own

RE: [flexcoders] How caching is done in flex

[Carson Hager]

By default, all caching in Flex would be done client 
side. There are no built in caching faciilities per se but unless you set 
the headers explicitly, all httpservice calls with the same parameters will be 
cached by the underlying browser at the browser's choice. This is especially 
prevalent when using IE.

The border stuff was done through borderStyle I believe with
errorTooltipRight or something like that.  So your component may need to
support that style.

I copied the border_mc (RectBorder) code from TextInput, and implemented it

RE: [flexcoders] How caching is done in flex

[Matt Chotin]

What kind of caching are you talking
about? The Flex SWF will be cached by the browser just like an image is cached
by the browser, so repeated requests to the same SWF should come back quickly.
The server caches compiled pieces of code so that it isnt re-compiling
all the time, that makes the first request of an MXML file potentially slow but
subsequent requests are fast.



Caching of data (like web service results
etc) is completely up to you. Macromedia Consulting introduced a package
called FAST which does assist in some service caching (http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/fast_userguide.html).



Hope this can get you started,



Matt

Re: [flexcoders] Custom Validation Error

Ok, set tabEnabled = true, and pressFocus  releaseFocus draw the focusRect 
correctly, as well as during an error.  He extends UIComponent, so I'm 
already supporting all of the necessary styles.

It's hard to reproduce, but the tooltip will stick sometimes in both Flash 
Player 7 IE and Flash Player 8.5 Firefox 1.5.  Anyway, close enough... 
unless you have an idea to force-remove the tooltip.

I copied the border_mc (RectBorder) code from TextInput, and implemented it
in my custom component.  However, he doesn't have the green border when
focused, nor does the error tooltip go away when I validate.

Fixing the former I think is easy; I have to use pressFocus since there is
no key usage.  Not sure about removing the tooltip, though...

Subject: [flexcoders] Custom Validation Error


I've been trying to solve this for a week.  I'm making progress, but at a
snails pace.  My goal is to have my custom component show a tooltip like
TextInputs do when you have a validation error.

In my debugging various Flex framework files, apparently
_Application_watcherSetup creates a bunch of PropertyWatchers.  The issue
is, my custom comonent proprties do not pass in an object for the 2nd
parameter to PropertyWatcher, and thus do not trigger validation events so
Binding + ToolTipManager and friends can show a validation error as a
tooltip with the errorString.

The Application-generated.as file is weird, though; the
_Application_watcherSetup just has 3 dependecy variables, and I can't find
who is creating the PropertyWatchers even though the FlexBuilder 1.5 call
stack claims it's that function.

Any guidance?

Anybody know what I can do on a fresh G3 Powerbook?  Thanks in advance!

Eclipse is.

[flexcoders] Having hard time understanding what features are available to whom when and how

[BCichowlas]

Hi!

I'm an independent developer trying to put together an RIA demo for
potential investors in a proposed enterprise.  This proposed
enterprise is not a software company but would make heavy use of an
RIA application.

My most reasonable choices seem to be Flex, Laszlo or Ajax (in its
many variations).  I spent the last week with the Iteration Two Flex
book, downloading what is available freely to developers from the
Macromedia/Adobe site.

As part of my demo, I need to be able to change the color of irregular
small shapes.  The shapes themselves are known in advance and don't
change.  For the sake of discussion, it is as if I had an outline of
New England, divided into the six New England states and I wanted to
be able to choose one of eight colors for each of the states based on
user interaction.

After looking at the complexities of Ajax, Flex seemed like an ideal
choice.  Since I develop under Eclipse and since the 2.0 alpha seemed
like a generally usable version, it was my first choice.  However, the
examples in the Iteration Two book seem to be written for 1.0 or 1.5,
and I spent quite a while trying to run them under 2.0 with varying
degrees of success.

My database needs for this demo application are modest, but I did want
to be able to use RemoteObject.  I was never able to get anything
using RemoteObject to operate successfully.  I was developing under
Eclipse and using the Run Flex application to try to run my
application.  I'm not sure exactly what runtime environment this
results in, but I had been successful at getting some small forms
running successfully and trading string messages with the server.

Is RemoteObject supposed to be possible using only the 2.0 alpha
materials?  If not, what do I need?  The Cold Fusion server
extensions?  The Enterprise version?  Is what I need available now? 
Does it cost money just to use for a demo?  Are there some examples of
using a RemoteObject under 2.0 that I could try under Eclipse?  Should
I be using 1.5 instead?

I am wondering if my expectations of the 2.0 alpha are inappropriate
for programming a demo now and in January 2006.  I'm not a Cold Fusion
user and have only a rudimentary understanding of its operation.  I'm
 now thinking that I should use Ajax or possibly Laszlo, but would
listen carefully to any argument that Flex is the right choice.

Thanks,
Bruce

[flexcoders] Re: [Flex 2.0] XMLEncoder

[alpharythms]

Thanks Matt,

That makes sense, basically you are just telling the HTTPService to
use myXmlConvert function to convert the object into XML.  I thought
HTTPService might have had a built in way of doing this conversion.  

I understand I can write my own code to do this but I would rather
learn how the API's work if it is possible to do it that way.

Currently I'm working directly with the XML data (instead of
converting it into an object first) so I can pull it out back out again.
http://www.evilfree.com/adam/blog/2005/12/flex_example_editing_xml_save.html

But I'm losing some of the automatic binding that is possible and
having to manually create arrays to use as dataproviders.  This will
only get more tedious as I start doing more advanced data manipulation.

There is an XMLEncoder class that says:
---
Take ActionScript Objects and encode them to XML. If schema metadata
is available, use it, otherwise use default serialization. Supports
SOAP encoded arrays.
---

The use of a schema metadata is particularly interesting to me if that
allows you to customize the exact formatting that XML will be in after
it is converted from a generic object.

I've yet to actually use a schema with XML in general and with Flex
2.0 being an alpha I don't even know if this class works as
documented.  I was hoping to see some source code or hear from people
that this class work correctly.   I would hate to spend hours and
hours trying to determine if I'm doing something incorrectly or if
it's a bug (or unimplemented) in Flex.

Thanks Again!
Adam

Re: [flexcoders] Having hard time understanding what features are available to whom when and how

[JesterXL]

I cannot answer all of your questions, but here are my suggestions.
- assuming on Windows, download Apache Tomcat
- download Flex 1.5 demo
- install Flex 1.5 demo with just FlexBuilder 1.5
- copy and paste the flex.war  samples.war files into Tomcat's webapps 
directory

Hit the samples page to ensure all is well.  On mine, it's:

http://localhost:8080/samples/

I've yet to get Flex 2 to work with Remoting + AMFPHP.  Considering AMF (the 
binary format used to send serialized class bits across the wire) is 
undergoing big changes, OpenAMF (Java) and AMFPHP (PHP) don't really work 
yet.

I've heard of some people getting Remoting to work with the CFAdapter, but I 
don't use CF ( I do at work, but I don't code it).  Some have reported 
success with the WebService/HTTPService.

Me?  I use Flex 1.5 every day and it works great.  At night, I moonlight in 
Flex 2, but she's still alpha, so we have a ways to go.

The bad news is, for those client developers (like me) who only care about 
the client, Flex 1.5 has the server requirement.  However, you can still 
snag SWF's off of the server once compiled as well as to show clients of 
what's possible.  Good news, she works great, HTTPService (GET/POST) works, 
WebService works, and RemoteObject works with AMFPHP, OpenAMF, and 
ColdFusion.

Hope that helps some.  Feel free to post more questions.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Development on the Mac

[Jason Weiss]

Title: Re: [flexcoders] Flex Development on the Mac





I do 100% of my Flex development on my Mac G5 Quad using Tomcat, Apache ANT, Apache AXIS and an array of databases, from Sybase to mySQL (depending on the client). I use BBEdit (cant speak for Adobes official position on FlexBuilder 2.0 on the Mac platform), Eclipse for my web services development, and a bit of command line magic here and there. The bottom line is that it is absolutely feasible to do full-fledged development on a Mac. Naturally, only Adobe can say if they will officially support 2.0 on the Mac.

HTH,

Jason

RE: [flexcoders] Having hard time understanding what features are available to whom when and how

[Matt Chotin]

I think you'll find 1.5 a more stable development experience in the next
month though of course 2.0 offers a lot of stuff.  For RemoteObject in
2.0 for now you do need the 2.0 CF adapter, but as many folks will be
happy to point out you could also just expose your Java objects via a
WebService using Apache Axis instead (this should be done in the 2.0
samples maybe but is definitely in 1.5 for reference).  The Flex 2 alpha
will hint at functionality (like RemoteObject) that may not actually be
functional in your configuration.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Having hard time understanding what features

I cannot answer all of your questions, but here are my suggestions.
- assuming on Windows, download Apache Tomcat
- download Flex 1.5 demo
- install Flex 1.5 demo with just FlexBuilder 1.5
- copy and paste the flex.war  samples.war files into Tomcat's webapps 
directory

Hit the samples page to ensure all is well.  On mine, it's:

http://localhost:8080/samples/

I've yet to get Flex 2 to work with Remoting + AMFPHP.  Considering AMF
(the 
binary format used to send serialized class bits across the wire) is 
undergoing big changes, OpenAMF (Java) and AMFPHP (PHP) don't really
work 
yet.

I've heard of some people getting Remoting to work with the CFAdapter,
but I 
don't use CF ( I do at work, but I don't code it).  Some have reported 
success with the WebService/HTTPService.

Me?  I use Flex 1.5 every day and it works great.  At night, I moonlight
in 
Flex 2, but she's still alpha, so we have a ways to go.

The bad news is, for those client developers (like me) who only care
about 
the client, Flex 1.5 has the server requirement.  However, you can still

snag SWF's off of the server once compiled as well as to show clients of

what's possible.  Good news, she works great, HTTPService (GET/POST)
works, 
WebService works, and RemoteObject works with AMFPHP, OpenAMF, and 
ColdFusion.

Hope that helps some.  Feel free to post more questions.

Hi!

I'm an independent developer trying to put together an RIA demo for
potential investors in a proposed enterprise.  This proposed
enterprise is not a software company but would make heavy use of an
RIA application.

My most reasonable choices seem to be Flex, Laszlo or Ajax (in its
many variations).  I spent the last week with the Iteration Two Flex
book, downloading what is available freely to developers from the
Macromedia/Adobe site.

As part of my demo, I need to be able to change the color of irregular
small shapes.  The shapes themselves are known in advance and don't
change.  For the sake of discussion, it is as if I had an outline of
New England, divided into the six New England states and I wanted to
be able to choose one of eight colors for each of the states based on
user interaction.

After looking at the complexities of Ajax, Flex seemed like an ideal
choice.  Since I develop under Eclipse and since the 2.0 alpha seemed
like a generally usable version, it was my first choice.  However, the
examples in the Iteration Two book seem to be written for 1.0 or 1.5,
and I spent quite a while trying to run them under 2.0 with varying
degrees of success.

My database needs for this demo application are modest, but I did want
to be able to use RemoteObject.  I was never able to get anything
using RemoteObject to operate successfully.  I was developing under
Eclipse and using the Run Flex application to try to run my
application.  I'm not sure exactly what runtime environment this
results in, but I had been successful at getting some small forms
running successfully and trading string messages with the server.

Is RemoteObject supposed to be possible using only the 2.0 alpha
materials?  If not, what do I need?  The Cold Fusion server
extensions?  The Enterprise version?  Is what I need available now?
Does it cost money just to use for a demo?  Are there some examples of
using a RemoteObject under 2.0 that I could try under Eclipse?  Should
I be using 1.5 instead?

I am wondering if my expectations of the 2.0 alpha are inappropriate
for programming a demo now and in January 2006.  I'm not a Cold Fusion
user and have only a rudimentary understanding of its operation.  I'm
 now thinking that I should use Ajax or possibly Laszlo, but would
listen carefully to any argument that Flex is the right choice.

Thanks,
Bruce

RE: [flexcoders] Re: [Flex 2.0] XMLEncoder

[Matt Chotin]

The XMLEncoder class is used by HTTPService but it will only do some
generic serialization and deserialization, it does not have generic
schema support (only WSDL schema support).  We tried to put schema
support for the non-webservice case in at one point but ran out of time
(and there hasn't been a huge push for it in 2.0).  So if you want some
basic serialization support our class will do it for you, no need for
the xmlEncoder function.  But if you have a schema you want to follow
you'll need to do it yourself.

If you want the binding and dataprovider support you'll need to wait for
the next beta (hopefully in the next less-than 10 weeks no promises)
where we've really gotten that code back up-to-snuff.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: [Flex 2.0] XMLEncoder

Thanks Matt,

That makes sense, basically you are just telling the HTTPService to
use myXmlConvert function to convert the object into XML.  I thought
HTTPService might have had a built in way of doing this conversion.  

I understand I can write my own code to do this but I would rather
learn how the API's work if it is possible to do it that way.

Currently I'm working directly with the XML data (instead of
converting it into an object first) so I can pull it out back out again.
http://www.evilfree.com/adam/blog/2005/12/flex_example_editing_xml_save.
html

But I'm losing some of the automatic binding that is possible and
having to manually create arrays to use as dataproviders.  This will
only get more tedious as I start doing more advanced data manipulation.

There is an XMLEncoder class that says:
---
Take ActionScript Objects and encode them to XML. If schema metadata
is available, use it, otherwise use default serialization. Supports
SOAP encoded arrays.
---

The use of a schema metadata is particularly interesting to me if that
allows you to customize the exact formatting that XML will be in after
it is converted from a generic object.

I've yet to actually use a schema with XML in general and with Flex
2.0 being an alpha I don't even know if this class works as
documented.  I was hoping to see some source code or hear from people
that this class work correctly.   I would hate to spend hours and
hours trying to determine if I'm doing something incorrectly or if
it's a bug (or unimplemented) in Flex.

Thanks Again!
Adam

Re: [flexcoders] Having hard time understanding what features are available to whom when and how

[Bruce Cichowlas]

I've used Axis on other projects, but I'm not sure how this interaction as a RemoteObject would look in the context of Flex 2.0 . Do you know of a working example of this somewhere? I'm not sure what I would code on the Flex side and I'm not sure what I'd need to do on the server side to make it compatible and synchronize.
I'm also wondering whether everything is available to support developing this demo for as long as it takes or if I will at some point have to buy a license for one thing or another to continue development. I also need to know how to explain the production operational costs to a potential investor. Potentially this is an application run by large companies on their own servers for many subscribers.
And from a technical viewpoint, I'm still wondering how to implement these arbitrary small shapes (such as states on a map) that need to change to one of a number of colors. I'd probably be able to answer that by myself if I were a Flash developer, but my Flash experience is limited to having run through the examples of a much earlier version of Flash.
I know that's a lot of questions.Thanks,BruceOn 12/27/05, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [flexcoders] Nested faceless components. keeping IDs and DataBinding

Hi Matt,

Back posting huh!

Thx for the answer.

 Now what I don't remember is if when we instantiate via the Array if the
 MXMLObject initialized will be called.  You'd need to look at the

Yes it is called. As with every faceless comp.

Using the initalized() indeed allows me to set an id or registe the
component somehow... but still, it is of little use with no binding
and inline events.

another point for flex2

Best,
Aldo

 For Flex 1.5 though you might be able to make Person an MXMLObject which
 would then have its initialized() method called as it gets created.
 That call would pass the MXML document which created the object and you
 could then attach the person using an id.  We have hard-coded id to
 not be allowed on deeper faceless objects, but you could use another
 name and then just assign that as the variable name for the document.
 Something like this:

 function initialized(document, id):Void
 {
   Var myId:String = this['valueYouPicked'];
   Document[myId] = this;
 }

 Now what I don't remember is if when we instantiate via the Array if the
 MXMLObject initialized will be called.  You'd need to look at the
 generated actionscript (turn keep-generated-actionscript on in
 flex-config) to be sure.

 Subject: [flexcoders] Nested faceless components. keeping IDs and

 Hi all,

 It would be great to have IDs and databinding available to faceless
 data structures.
 Unfortunately, there are some restrictions that apply to faceless
 components.

 Is there any (hacky) way to declare a nested faceless component in an
 MXML document and assign a document scoped ID to it ??

 This is not legal as there are IDs in the nested components.

 c:Person id=foo
 c:children
 mx:Array
 c:Person id=barbie/
 c:Person id=birbie/
 /mx:Array
 /c:children
 /c:Person


 One ugly way would be to extend a container and do something like the
 following

 c:Person id=foo
 c:Person id=barbie/
 c:Person id=birbie/
 /c:Person

 Now, this limits me to assigning all children to one array... not to
 mention the overhead and component-lifecycle-related trouble.


 For now the only legal solution is the following I guess...

 c:Person id=foo/
 c:Person id=barbie parent={foo}/
 c:Person id=birbie parent={foo}/


 Evidently the benefit of using XML is lost.


 Any ideas?
