[flexcoders] Changing the properties of a Drag Proxy
Is there a way to change the properties of the dragProxy in response to a drag event? For example can you change the size or scale of the proxy if you drag it over certain targets? Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Re: How to handle manipulation of Date object and Timezones elegantly in Flex?
Hi Jim, Your problem appears to be half the problem that I am having. In your case, the client requests (for record insertion of a date) that is sent back to the server means that the server tries to translate the time into it's local timezone. Our problem inlcudes the above, plus any date object that the server sends to the client also has the same problem. The client translates the server sent date object into it's local timezone. In any case, the solutions are: 1. To do offsetting at the client end 2. To do offsetting at the server end 3. To use custom defined object for date/time without any timezones. #1 and #2 can be tricky if you have many places where the date object is referenced. For example, you may miss some date references, you need to check that every date object really does need offsetting, there is overhead when doing offsetting, you need to test thoroughly through all timezones just in case you there are some quirky side effects. #3 may require significant refactoring of existing methods. Some of the underlying issues are with the implementation of Date object: 1. In Flex (ActionScript), the Date object doesn't allow manual setting of the timezone 2. In Java, the Date object is deprecated and harder to manage than a Calendar object. So as far as I know, there isn't a way of ignoring timezones when using the Date object. I assume that using remote objects and passing of the Flex Date object as a parameter, we can only map the the Java Date object to it. It would be nice to map a Java Calendar object instead.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Max width and height for the Loader??
Ideas off the top of my head: - use an image library server-side to crop the image to a series. So, 1 2880x2880 image becomes 4 1440x1440 images. You can then put 4 Image tags in a Tile tag to align them nicely. - scale the image to whatever aspect ratio matches 2880x2880 and deal with the limitation - shrink the viewport to view the entire image; then, use bitmapData in Flash 8 to copy the image data to the ViewPort. You can keep all 4 1440x1440 images off screen, and just copy from them (similiar to how Google Maps/ Yahoo Maps does it). - Original Message - From: "moyosaned" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 7:09 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Max width and height for the Loader??

RE: [flexcoders] Nested faceless components. keeping IDs and DataBinding
Did you declare [Event("talk")] on the Person class, that should cause
the event handler to work. But if you're getting an exception that's a
bug which you should file.
The id stuff is in Flex 2 so it should make your FSM easier to
implement.

Matt,
Unless I have a bug in my compiler(s), I believe I cannot place inline
events in a nested faceless component ( the stack trace is attached at
the end of the mail )
and since I cannod declare an ID on it either, the only way to bind is
by referencing it the long way.
which is not necessarily bad in this simple case but makes you
hardcode the nesting...
See my point?
I was trying to use MXML to create the declaration for a finite state
machine implementation . If I had nesting, events and binding on all
levels then things like declaring transition and entry/exit events
would be very straightforward.
The same with references: instead of passing a string name ( or ID ) I
could just use binding to relate, say, states to transitions
So, I will have to go for the spaghetti in this implementation for
flex15
Best,
Aldo

I agree with Darron, though, once you get OpenAMF working, it's pretty good in terms of performance. Getting ValueObjects to match was always a battle with me & the Java developer getting it exactly right with OpenAMF. Isn't the demo a 60 day trial? If so, you'll be near the end of February. A new build of Flex 2 should definately be out by then. I believe Flex server will revert to only allowing 1 IP then, but will still work. What won't is FlexBulider, but you don't necessarely need FlexBuilder; a lot of people on this list use Eclipse, Oxygen, BBEdit, Vim, and Emacs. I believe you can actually call & negotiate with Macrome... er, Adobe sales and get your FlexBuilder license extended. You can also apply for a Non-commercial Flex license if you are a blogger or like to show off technology. Still, I think Flex 2 will hopefully have a new build out by then, and going from Flex 1.5 > Flex 2 is a lot easier than the other way around with more benefit.

Imagine if the shapes were the six states of New England on a map. I want to be able to control the color of each state to be one of eight colors. I can see a few approaches. One would be to treat the whole map of New England as a graphic and then somehow repaint the individual state, perhaps on a pixel by pixel basis. I suppose that could work, but it would be tedious. Another way would be to have a graphic object of each state with a transparent background and then overlay them appropriately in their appropriate positions. However, the color I would have to then change would be the foreground object color and I don't know that there is a simple way to do that. I could, perhaps, supply eight graphics for each state and then switch between them using _javascript_ to alter the DHTML. That might be feasible for six states, but

Re: [flexcoders] Nested faceless components. keeping IDs and DataBinding
Matt, Unless I have a bug in my compiler(s), I believe I cannot place inline events in a nested faceless component ( the stack trace is attached at the end of the mail ) and since I cannod declare an ID on it either, the only way to bind is by referencing it the long way. which is not necessarily bad in this simple case but makes you hardcode the nesting... See my point? I was trying to use MXML to create the declaration for a finite state machine implementation . If I had nesting, events and binding on all levels then things like declaring transition and entry/exit events would be very straightforward. The same with references: instead of passing a string name ( or ID ) I could just use binding to relate, say, states to transitions So, I will have to go for the spaghetti in this implementation for flex15 Best, Aldo PS. Send my best to Ely, Todd, and Lucian ( if he's still there ) ;) the stack trace for the nested faceless inline event exception: 28/12 14:57:36 ERROR flex.compiler.HtmlOutputHandler: Results of compiling ...\fsm\nestedMXMLObjectsTest\main.mxml 1 Exception found.

[flexcoders] Gordon Smith owes me $10 (i.e. setChildIndex)
In mx.core.View, setChildIndex generates a childIndexChanged event.
However, 2 children are affected by the index changing; the child that is
moved, and the child that is displaced. I haven't tested this in Flex 2
yet, but in Flex 1.5, the event should either be changed, or 2 events should
be generated.
My fix is:
// moving up
var index:Number = getChildIndex(lastClicked);
var displacedChild:EditableElement = EditableElement(getChildAt(index - 1));
// remove it & move it
var tmpID:Number = __dataProvider.getItemID(index);
__dataProvider.splice(index, 1);
item.__ID__ = tmpID;
__dataProvider.splice(index - 1, 0, item);
var dOldIndex:Number = getChildIndex(displacedChild);
setChildIndex(lastClicked, index - 1);
var dNewIndex:Number = getChildIndex(displacedChild);
dispatchEvent({type: "childIndexChanged", relatedNode: displacedChild,
prevValue: dOldIndex, newValue: dNewIndex});

What part of inline events and databinding are missing? If your class

Using the initalized() indeed allows me to set an id or registe the

and inline events.

I know that's a lot of questions.Thanks,Bruce On 12/27/05, Matt Chotin <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: I think you'll find 1.5 a more stable development experience in the nextmonth though of course 2.0 offers a lot of stuff.

Re: [flexcoders] Having hard time understanding what features are available to whom when and how
I'm wondering which of the ways to implement the color-changing irregular shapes might work or whether I should be learning to do something custom with Flash, such as making a movie in which the irregular shape changes between the eight colors. I don't know enough about using Flash controls within Flex to know whether that is an appropriate and feasible idea or not.

[flexcoders] Re: Max width and height for the Loader??
Since version? Man Ok but I'm trying to load loading an image bigger than 2880 x 2880. and setting in my Image-tag it has to for example 400 x 400. It does seem to react the same as when i use a smaller image, I'm not seeing an image at all. I tried to trace (image.)content! When i'm loading an lager image it's height and width are near 0, with smaller images its has the size it needs to be. It smells like a Flex/Flash bug Do you got any other solution. to load this image but resized to a smaller format. without for example duplicate the image and use the resized one on the server, if you get what i mean --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "JesterXL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Max for images in Flash Player is 2880x2880.
