[flexcoders] AS3 :: RegExp :: String constructor taking out \s slasshes etc.
Hello,
I am here using regular expressions and for some reason didn't relaize that when you create an _expression_ like :
var packages:String = '^\s*(package\s(.*){)';
pattern:RegExp = new RegExp(packages, g);
will trace :
/^s*(packages(.*){)/g
Notice where the ^s are together, there should be a back slash to say space character.
I tried with both and ', dosn't make a difference. So obviously you
need to double backslash a special charatcer in regular _expression_
strings.
This sucks big time, the reason is I have a parsing library full of registered regular expressions.
Am I seing this right? This is the way it always has been? I guess
using php, it is different with how it treats a RegExp through it's
methods.
Anyway,
Does anybody see any negative effects from using an actual RegExp
object in the static library ? Would this cause any confilcts because
some internal properties of the RegExp object are not reset or updated
correctly. I know the modifiers would have to be flagged correctly.
I use a;
var pattern:RegExp = RegExpLibrary.getPattern(RegExpLibrary.PACKAGE_PATTERN, g) as RegExp;
Any thoughts?
Peace, Mike

Re: [flexcoders] eval gone in AS3, how to get reference to movieclip via target name?
I have a question that's almost related.In AS3, how can I instantiate a class, com.foo.MyClass, using the string com.foo.MyClass? The reason I ask is that I'd like to load an XML file and use it to dynamically create components at runtime. Something like this: components component className=com.foo.MyClass x=100 y=100/ component className=com.foo.MyClass x=100 y=100/ /componentsThanks,TomOn 3/3/06, Gordon Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Whoa not only is there no eval(), there's no _target, no _level0, and no _global!

[flexcoders] getStyle and Alpha for programmatic skins
Preface: I'm extending a RectBorder and am trying to paramterize the coloring, etc., and have one problem with two ways to go about it -- neither of which I can figure out. In one sense this is a more general problem... Problem: In a programmatic skin I'm writing, I cannot get access to the 'alpha' value of an object, say a VBox where I set the borderSkin to my subclass. I *can* get access to backgroundColor thought, for instance. Proposal 1) When I need the value: getStyle(alpha) -- this always returns 0. Or just saying `this.alpha' always returns 1. Regardless of the value, it seems that if you set the alpha of a VBox, it applies it to the skin anyway, whether you want to override the behavior or not. Ugh. Proposal 2) More generally, what if I want to instantiate my skin subclass with a constructor -- not just the default constructor, but including values like alpha and keeping them privately? Skins must provide default constructors, otherwise they don't compile -- is there a way to provide constructor arguments to a skin, and then use it? I tried instantiating a skin like this, and passing the instance to borderSkin, but it didn't do anything. (dataBinding would be an ideal solution, so the skin gets redrawn).

[flexcoders] DataGridColumn sortCompareFunction (Flex 2 Beta 1)
Hello,
I do have some problemens with a custom sort compare
function in a DataGrid. In the Columnn I like to sort birthdates of persons.
Regarding the manunal the callback function should have the following signature
mySortCompareFunction(obj1 :
Object, obj2
: Object, columnIndex
: Number) : Number
With this signature I get the following error message
ArgumentError: Error
#1063: Argument count mismatch on CellRenderer::DateCellRenderer/Compare().
Expected 3, got 2
at
mx.collections::Sort/mx.collections:Sort::internalCompare()
at
Array/sort()
[]
So I tried the following function with only two
arguments:
var
_ColumnName:String = birthDate;
public function Compare(pRow1:Object, pRow2:Object):Number
{
var
_T1:Number;
var
_T2:Number;
if(
pRow1[_ColumnName] == null ) {
if(
pRow2[_ColumnName] == null )
return
0;
else
return
-1;
}
else
_T1 = pRow1[_ColumnName].time;
if(
pRow2[_ColumnName] == null )
return
1;
else
{
_T2
= pRow2[_ColumnName].time;
if(
_T1 _T2 ) return -1;
if(
_T1 _T2 ) return 1;
return
0;
}
}
This works fine with one exception; the rows are always
sorted ascend, even when the sort arrow indicates that the rows
should be sorted descant.
Where is my mistake?
Harry

I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to set the alpha of a DisplayObject which RectBorder is. As far as using getStyle() with an actuall property, I think Adobe changed the implementation of getStyle() (Adobe can comment on this [ can you get non-defined style properties with getStyle() ?? ] ). I think it is more strict now. :: this.alpha It would return 1 if the skin is fully opaque.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 Dashboard Project
Hi Sergio. I wrote a tutorial for the 1.5 charts on devnet a while back. You can find it here: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/charting.html I would strongly encourage you to build your dashboard using Flex 2.0, if the option is available to you. While much has changed between 1.5 and 2.0, the bulk of that tutorial is still very relevant to the upcoming new version. For the most part, it's only once you get a little deeper into using charts that the changes will affect you. So read the tutorial, get your hands dirty, and post questions here. We're happy to answer them.

[flexcoders] Flex 2 socket interface
Note to moderator: this is an update of a previous message that for some reason did not get sent to the group. Hi I have a console based, desktop network management app written in Java. I'd like to build Flex 2 browser-based GUI for this desktop app but I don't want to use Enterprise Services (or any commercial middleware layer) to communicate with this app (due to deployment license) I have noticed that the IFBIN service (ifbin.com) uses a class called SYNC to communicate via socket to a local Python based server, which would be ideal in my case. I can port my Java app to Python. Does anyone have any examples of SYNC in use with Flash or Flex? thanks marc -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

[flexcoders] Overlapping click regions
One of my custom components extends the Canvas and has a button on it. Both the canvas and button are rigged to activate seperate functions when clicked. I've called them canvasClicked() and buttonClicked(). Now, clicking on the canvas where the button isn't triggers the canvasClicked() function, as planned. However, clicking on the button, which is within the Canvas region, appears to trigger both canvasClicked() and buttonClicked(). The hack-y way I thought of to make sure that only buttonClicked() actually does anything is to introduce a semaphore-like mechanism to both functions (that is, buttonClicked() sets a flag to true; do canvasClicked() only if flag is false). But there must be a better way to handle this. Anyone know what it is?

Re: [flexcoders] AS3 :: RegExp :: String constructor taking out \s slasshes etc.
The slashes are being removed when you use them in a string literal. Did you try a regexp literal?
var
pattern:RegExp = /^\s*(package\s(.*){)/g;
Otherwise, it's double slashes...

Any thoughts?

with the regexp just the string literal ;-)

This is quick and dirty code. I initialyl wrote the entire class using Proxy, so that you can access properties over it (but data is stored in a variable inside the class). But for simplicity I removed things...
Things, that are not done:* Detect if some variables are passed via FlashVars also and merge parameters* Error handling* Testing in different browsers and under different security sandbox cases.
These can be done easily...So I am not doing it :)-abdul

Re: [flexcoders] Overlapping click regions
The canvas gets the click event because of the event bubbling. You can handle the situation in two ways. In canvasClicked you can check the event.target to be the canvas only before taking any action. You can callevent.stopPropagation() in the button click handler to prevent the event from bubbling up to the canvas.

RE: [flexcoders] getStyle and Alpha for programmatic skins
Yes alpha is a property that runs from 0 to 1. All of the other alphas (backgroundAlpha for example) are done as styles with the same 0 to 1 range. As for creating skins with arguments in the constructor, we really dont support it, it has to be no-arg. We dont have a general mechanism of knowing the constructor arguments and using them in a factory Matt From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Teoti Graphix Sent: Sunday, March 05, 2006 7:30 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] getStyle and Alpha for programmatic skins Hello, Your aware that alpha values in AS3 are from 0 to 1 ? When you say; Regardless of the value, it seems that if you set the alpha of a VBox, it applies it to the skin anyway, whether you want to override the behavior or not. When you set the alpha of any instance it effects the instance of itself and it's children which in this case would be the borderSkin instance. I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to set the alpha of a DisplayObject which RectBorder is. As far as using getStyle() with an actuall property, I think Adobe changed the implementation of getStyle() (Adobe can comment on this [ can you get non-defined style properties with getStyle() ?? ] ). I think it is more strict now. :: this.alpha It would return 1 if the skin is fully opaque. IE alpha = 100% Anyway, I don't understand the problem really ;-) I know why I am writting this becasue I didn't relaize that the values of alpha had changed in as3.

Problem: In a programmatic skin I'm writing, I cannot get access to the 'alpha' value of an object, say a VBox where I set the borderSkin to my subclass. I *can* get access to backgroundColor thought, for instance. Proposal 1) When I need the value: getStyle(alpha) -- this always returns 0. Or just saying `this.alpha' always returns 1. Regardless of the value, it seems that if you set the alpha of a VBox, it applies it to the skin anyway, whether you want to override the behavior or not. Ugh. Proposal 2) More generally, what if I want to instantiate my skin subclass with a constructor -- not just the default constructor, but including values like alpha and keeping them privately? Skins must provide default constructors, otherwise they don't compile -- is there a way to provide constructor arguments to a skin, and then use it? I tried instantiating a skin like this, and passing the instance to borderSkin, but it didn't do anything. (dataBinding would be an ideal solution, so the skin gets redrawn).
