Re: [flexcoders] Alternative to Repeater

2006-01-07 Thread JesterXL 





In a nutshell, DataSelector is a mixin.  A 
mixin adds methods and properties to a class at runtime.  Since you cannot 
do multiple inheritance in ActionScript, using a mixin is a way around 
that.  DataSelector adds dataProvider powers to a class:
 
DataSelector.initialize(YourClass);
 
Any class that utilizes DataSelector gets a length 
property.  DataSelector gives a class pretty much all the DataProvider 
methods (which are really proxies to the dataProvider it contains a reference 
to), length being one of them.  So:
 
yourComponent.length
 
is the same as:
 
yourComponent.dataProvider.length
 
 
Yes, modelChanged fires everytime you use a 
DataProvider method on a dataProvider or dataProvider component.
 
a = ["one", "two", "three"];
yourComponent.dataProvider = a;
 
a.addItem("cow"); // fires 
modelChanged
a.push("cheese"); // does not fire 
modelChanged
yourComponent.addItem("moo"); // fires 
modelChanged
 
ModelChanged actually has an object that is passed 
to it, the event object, that has information about what changed.  You can 
use a switch statement to know what changed, and how, and more intelligently 
draw your component.  A note; this is a fuoi$%(*)$% load of work.  If 
you don't believe me, go look in DataGrid.as.
 
So, to be lazy, I just ignore it and redraw 
everytime.  Keep in mind, even if you use the code above, it'll only redraw 
once:
- modelChanged fired for setting the 
dataProvider
- modelChanged fired for adding "cow" to 
it
- modelChagned fired for adding"moo" to 
it
 
Since I use a doLater, and only 1, it'll only 
redraw once per frame.

Thanks for the help.
Couple of question 
 
1 .What do you mean by - utilize Data Selector 
on that class ?
 
2. In the redrawForm method what does the value "length" 
represent. 
If it is the length of the dataProvider, am not clear how that 
was established
 
3. Does "modelChanged" fire every time the 
dataProvider changes? 
If so seems like it would redraw the entire form even if only 
one item in the array changed (say using addItem). 
Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] how to use MovieClip / swc in flex???

2006-01-07 Thread JesterXL 
To utilize MovieClips, embed in SWF's.  Give it a linkage name and:

Flex 1.5:
[Embed(source="your.swf", symbol="LinkageName")]
var yourSymbol:String;

attachMovie(yourSymbol, "mc", 0);

Flex 2:
[Embed(source="your.swf#LinkageName")]
var yourSymbol:Class;
var a:Class = new yourSymbol();
addChild(a);

To utilize SWC's, just place next to your Application.mxml file.

To import a class, treat like any class; import it.

Looks like a bug.  I've logged it.

BTW, in Beta 1 (when it's out), you should be able to bind to
'dataObject' instead of having to override the setter method.

The RichTextEditor is nothing but a Panel containing a TextArea and
some formatting using the TextRange utility class.  It shouldn't be
that hard to create your own custom rich text editor in Flex 2.

Re: [flexcoders] Alternative to Repeater

2006-01-07 Thread Jesse Warden 
Well, only problem with Composition is it's now a black box; that can be
good or bad.  For example, if your class is the only one ever operating on
the custom Repeater, then sure, that's fine.  However, if you ever want to
expose those methods, you have to write proxy methods for them all
including re-doing all the getters and setters.

So, using a List in a form via composition is fine; you have buttons in
that form that add/delete items from the list.  From that point on,
however, no one else can ever interact with that lists data.

...unless you expose the dataProvider, or the dataProvider is public.  If
it is, you can only operate on that dataProvider via the dataProvider API.
 If that's ok with you, that's ok with me.  IF, however, you are building
a re-usable View, then that isn't very eloquent.  Just depends on how your
going to use it.  List for example can be extended if you want.  Most
people, however, use it via composition.

Thanks. That make it a lot clearer. 
Although, am not sure I understand why you would use the mixin approach here  compared to using Composition.
Are there any benefits of doing it this way as opposed to say:
 
Embed a dataProvider inside "Comp.mxml"  and have the comp listen for and handle the modelChanged event of the DP ?

Thanks for the help.
Couple of question 
 
1 .What do you mean by - utilize Data Selector 
on that class ?
 
2. In the redrawForm method what does the value "length" 
represent. 
If it is the length of the dataProvider, am not clear how that 
was established
 
3. Does "modelChanged" fire every time the 
dataProvider changes? 
If so seems like it would redraw the entire form even if only 
one item in the array changed (say using addItem). 
Thanks,

  Subject: [flexcoders] Alternative to Repeater
   
  Is there an alternative to using a Repeater , that I could make use of in 
  my component (AS based).
  For e.g.
   
  Say I have a component called "Comp"
   
  Comp.mxml (Pseudo-code)
  ===
  
    
      
      public var dp:Array;
  
    
   
    
      
    
   
  
   
  Comp is used in Main.mxml and the dataprovider for Comp is set in 
  Main.mxml.
  Main also may add and remove items from the the dataprovider for Comp on 
  subsequent events.
   
  I would like to write Comp as an Actionscript class and avoid a Repeater 
  all together.
  I may be missing something really obvious, but how would I do that 
?
   
  TIA,

Yes JVM 1.5 does help, I have been tested both JVM 1.4 and 1.5, also
some of the garabage collection settings or using different brands of
JVM make a difference in terms of Memory allocation speed, thus
compile times.

[flexcoders] MS SQL Server 2005

2006-01-07 Thread James 
Good morning Everyone,

Here's the question for the day...

MS SQL Server does xml endpoints within SQL Server. Question one: Has anyone
gotten it to work with Flex, either 1.5 or 2? And if so, how? 

James

Hmm, maybe it's the target:this in the dispatcht onConnect event of the 
ListenerXMLSocket. Ooh well, I will have to look into this now!

I am using it in my altered version of XMlSocket to communicate with 
MaxMSP in this class I am dispatching a connect-event to the listeners 
using:

// connect-event dispatch test
var eventObj:Object = {type:"connect", event:success};
dispatchEvent( eventObj );

I can tell you that when I use mx.data.binding.ObjectDumper.toString() I 
will see a target-variable which then includes the values of my 
MaxMSP-class which are all private variables and I don't want to have 
disclosed. Otherwise I would have made them public vars ;-)

The parts of the class:

class com.innerfuse.io.MaxMSP {
   
/**
 * EventDispatcher requirements
 */
private var dispatchEvent:Function;
var addEventListener:Function;
var removeEventListener:Function;

private var port: Number;  // the port number of the 
maxmsp server
private var address: String;// the ip address of the 
maxmsp server
private var server: ListenerXMLSocket;// event enabled XMLSocket
private var connectionStatus: Boolean = false;   // connectionStatus 
flag

public function onXmlConnectEvent(success) {
this.connectionStatus = false;
if ( success ) {
this.connectionStatus = true;
   
// connect-event dispatch test
var eventObj:Object = {type:"connect", event:success};
dispatchEvent( eventObj );
}
}

}

Yours,
Weyert de Boer

Impossible to do with anonymous objects.  However, if you make your event a 
class, you have no problems.  This is enforced at runtime in AS3:

class Event
{
private var test:String;

public var target:Object;
public var type:String;
}

var e:Event = new Event();
e.target = this;
e.type = "test";
dispatchEvent(e);

function onResult(event:Event):Void
{
trace(event.test); // won't compile
}

Yes, EventDispatcher something I have issues with to understand. It
keeps sending data I don't want to the listeners such as private
variables of the class

Hi,
 
The simplest solution is to implement commands 
:)
 
However, if you want to keep what you have, you will have 
to save the original event object in some global variable so that you 
can look it up once onResult() or onFault() are fired.

[flexcoders] Flex 2.0 Form validation

2006-01-07 Thread Ken Bromberger 










Hi! I am new to flex and I am working on using the
validators flex 2.0 includes.

 

I have set up a form and can submit data to my test database
using HTTPService and the request tags and return a result. When I add a string
validator to my code the form no longer submits the HTTPService request. If I remove
the stringValidator from my code the form works just fine. What am I missing on
this?? Is there a good resource with examples of how to implement validation? 

Thanks! – Ken

 

Here is my code:

 



 xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns="*">

 



   




 

 id="strV" source="{test1}" property="text" minLength="5"
valid="handleValid(event)" invalid="handleValid(event)"/>

 

   id="test" url="">http://localhost/xml/template/test.xml" method="POST" showBusyCursor="True">

     xmlns="">

  {test1.text}

  {test2.text}

       

  

 

   width="100%" height="100%">

     x="34" y="25">

     text="{test.result.root.tblTest.success}"/>

   label="Test Form"/>

   label="Test 1" id="test1_lbl">

     id="test1"/>  

  

   label="Test 2" id="test2_lbl">

     id="test2"/>

  

 

     label="Submit" id="sub_btn"
click="submitForm();" enabled="false"/>

Clearly your problem is your custom EventDispatcher.  The one that comes 
with Flex allows me to throw any custom arg I want at result handlers.  Find 
out why he's not keeping your event handlers.
