RE: [flexcoders] Flex2 :: 3rd party Components :: Adobe comments
This post has not gone unnoticed but youre asking for our plans slightly before we have them all down in a form we can talk about J Were going to try to put together something to explain our thinking over the next day or two and will post back. A number of us have spent many weeks/months trying to work on preparing materials (not just the doc/reference) and thinking of programs that will help developers of apps, components, and what have you. Stay tuned, Matt From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Michael Schmalle Sent: Monday, May 01, 2006 7:47 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex2 :: 3rd party Components :: Adobe comments Jesse, In a nutshell that is all I meant. No disrespect to Adobe or Macormedia. Developers need tools just like the tools they are giving all their clients. As a component developer, you must swallow the fact that your client is going to make big bucks off your measly 200$ a license to them. Once, you get past that, yes most component developers are inventors at the core. So, these 'docs' would only speed up our Flex implementation into the WORLD. Since competition is technology these days, Adobe has already done awsome to even do public betas(I know this the trend but still..) I've spent 3 years learning the MX 2004 / 8 v2 component framework, and it makes sense to me... most of it. I never cared for the DataSet andbinding classes, but everything else has allowed me to create applications I couldn't have without knowlege of using them and the rest of the framework. I have created components with v2 also, plus a container framework(that never got used becasue it was to much for me). So, yes the v2 has it's strengths and if you have heard from me the last 3 years I spent learning Flash and it's component framework, you know where I am comming from.

I never cared for the DataSet andbinding classes, but everything else has allowed me to create applications I couldn't have without knowlege of using them and the rest of the framework. Macromedia made a strong effort to listen to the community's feedback upon it's release, and eventually documented it. Too little too late for some of us, but at least they did what they said they were going to do. Upon the release of Flex 1, they had apparently learned from that mistake because the Flex 1 documentation for components was top notch compared to Ellipsis (Flash 7.2). This put up or shutup attitude was nice to see; for everyone who asked a question that was directly answerable from the docs, people on the Flexcoders list pointed them toRTFM manual, and it wasgood to see they had faith in what they produced. Upon reading the documentation for Beta 2, and seeing Sho's blog post on the revamp for Beta 3, I think Adobe is continuing that quality in documentation. Granted, documenting the API for a List component and documenting not only how to USE that List component, but USING that List component with OTHERS are3 totally different things. I think we are getting the latter after reading pages about utilizing item renderers, and UIComponent API changes. Granted, you can't judge it yet since it's not done, nor is the source code publicly released in this build to compare and contrast. While I personally think it's up to the developer to invest their own personal time to learn the framework on their own, I would still prefer docs written that help get us up to speed as soon as possible to provide a better cost to time invested ratio, ecspecially since the scope of this component framework is much larger than v1 v2 combined. - Original Message - From: Michael Schmalle To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, May 01, 2006 10:20 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Flex2 :: 3rd party Components :: Adobe comments Hi, Adobe says they want a rich 3rd party componenty community. I have one question; Is Adobe going to give developers a road map of their framework ? Macromedia severly failed when trying to proliferate those quasi components named v2. Us developers spent 6 months figuring the rats nest out(in the end it didn't make any sense anyway). Do we Flex2 component devs get a road map(whitepapers) of the framework or do we have to waste 6 months learning code alogrithms when the source for the flex2 framework comes out? Peace, Mike PS This comment stems from the fact Manish just pointed out the dropdownFactory of the ComboBox. Which is modular development at its best! I mean, looking at the 10,000 pages of api docs I do see it listed but common! You have to have something that your internal devs use.

BTW, I understand you are still creating this and getting the flow on. Although it would be nice to have factories wherever you could honestly see a subclass wanting to override a creation method-strategy of it's parent. Not to mention opens up the door for a lot more composition of modules. This comes from wanting to do one simple thing with the tab bar and I ended up reimplementing tab button, tab bar and making a new tab pane using a viewstack super class and compositing my tab bar. All becasue I couldn't get away from the concrete typing of the TabBar using Button. Trust me, this was a day and a half endevour. PS, I know when I see the source of the framework I will be able to jimmy my stuff back to a toggle bar subclass using the code as my guide but, I had to hack this to test things.

I did build in a way to override the type of the button. In fact, that's how the TabBar overrides the default button type (Tab instead of Button). class MyButtonBar extends ButtonBar { public function MyButtonBar() { mx_internal::buttonClass = foo.bar.MyButton; ... } } It's an mx_internal variable called 'buttonClass'. (Note: anything mx_internal is for internal use and not supported.) There are also other similar settings in ButtonBar called 'buttonStyleNameProp', 'buttonWidthProp', etc., which are overridden by TabBar. It's totally configurable. I think these should've been made protected instead of mx_internal.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex2 :: Feature request :: NavBar button factory
Putting the scrollbars on the left/top is a lot harder I did this in my flash 8 container framework. I used state object for layout. It worked awsome, I might just port that some time as an alternate Container to subclass for those 'weird' occasions you need it. then like; horizontalScrollBarPosition property set to top, bottom verticalScrollBarPosition property set to left, right. anyway... ;-) The name of the property is specified by 'buttonWidthProp', an internal variable. Ok, I made the tab bar have the ability to have tabs stretch or hold there measuredWidth. I thought this might have been something different than just string names of properties.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex2B2 Resolution Change Event
Thanks Manish, I was using the value in Application.application.stage.stageHeight to control the viewStack. The problem that I am having is determining an event that is consistantly dispatched when the browser window is resized. I tried all that were available (resize, render, etc..), but had difficulty because the new value of stageHeight doesn't seem to update until after the screen has finished changing size. It's not a big deal in this case because 99% of the time, the screen resolution will not be changed in the middle of running an application. I was just interested in learning how to do something like this should the user resize the browser window. I know that there is probably a way, (you guys come up with some of the most incredible solutions) to listen for a change to the stageHeight property and based on the value, bind a change to the viewStack. I'm just not sure how to go about it though.

I've tried several different ways to do this, but none have been successful. I was wondering if anyone else had tried to do this dynamically.

[flexcoders] Dispatching an event from inside a resultEvent

I also use the datamanager classes from Jeff Tapper (http://jeff.mxdj.com/as3_datamanager.htm) to handle the webservice requests. Heres some code I use In my Login.mxml: private function fcnSubmitLogin():void { var oLogin:Login = new Login(); oLogin.addEventListener(testEvent,fcnTest); oLogin.performLogin(txtUserName.text, txtPassWord.text); } private function testing(event:Event):void { Alert.show(test result); } In Login.as (which extends EventDispatcher) public function init():void { loginManager = DataManager.getDataManager(Wsdl.loginWSDL); loginManager.addEventListener(get_accessResponse,fcnAccessResponse); } public function performLogin(strUserName:String, strPassWord:String):void { loginManager = DataManager.getDataManager(Wsdl.loginWSDL); loginManager.makeRemoteCall(get_access,get_accessResponse); fcnTest(); } public function fcnAccessResponse(event:DataManagerResultEvent):void { fcnTest(); } private function fcnTest():void { Alert.show(in fcnTest); var e:Event = new Event(testEvent ); this.dispatchEvent(e); } Now, what happens here is the following Login.mxml adds the eventlistener so it listens until Login.as broadcasts the event testEvent The first time its working perfectly, the method performLogin calls fcnTest(), fcnTest dispatches the event testEvent, and I get both alerts (in fcnTest from Login.as, and test result, from Login.mxml); Now comes the problem, after the webservice is called, I get to the method fcnAccessResponse (which is called if access is granted) The method fcnAccessResponse calls fcnTest(), and I get the alert in fcnTest The problem is, fcnTest also dispatches the event testEvent, but it doesnt get noticed by Login.mxml, whereas the first time the method is called, it gets triggered.

RE: [flexcoders] Server-Side Architecture for Flex App
I would add that this can be seen in terms of portability, performance and how much knowledge exist in your company in certain technology. Java will give the greatest portability, it would run seemly in Windows shops as in Unix shops. The same is true for ColdFusion and PHP. However, this does not hold true for .Net which only runs in Windows. As for performance, I would actually analyze what the requirements are for your application and develop a proof of concept or test unit, to see the performance in each of them. You should also consider here that RemoteObject in Flex will only work for Java, for ColdFusion you need the Event Gateway Adapter. For any others such as .Net and PHP you will need to use HTTPService or WebService. Consider that your choice might run slower than others. Lastly, I think it is highly important to consider if your company is heading to an specific technology and how many knowledgeable people you have on the technology of your choice. We are familiar with antagonisms like Unix vs Windows or SQL Server vs Oracle, and how people go on how one is better than the other. However, I truly believe that if you have a good understanding of a technology you can make it work for you independently of any drawbacks it might have. |-+- | | | | | Kelly @ Dekayd Media Inc.| | | dekayd | | | Sent by: | | | flexcoders@yahoogroups.com | | | 05/02/2006 01:05 PM | | | Please respond to | | | flexcoders | | | | |-+- -| | | | To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com | | cc: | | Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Server-Side Architecture for Flex App | -| The Flex server is built on Java and I think that Flex was originally developed to integrate the most efficiently with Java.

Here's my standard post after every beta. We have developed a custom Java Adapter used to lookup/invoke Spring beans that implement our remote object services. With beta 3, this is now broken again.

rowHeight is a property on List-based components. MenuBar does not derive from ListBase so you cannot set rowHeight on the MenuBar. You need to set it on the individual menus the MenuBar pops up. You can use the getMenuAt() method to grab each individual menu from the MenuBar and set rowHeight there.

[flexcoders] F2 B2 :: Setting a DisplayObject to the highest depth
If MovieClip.getnextHighestDepth() has been replaced with flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer.addChild(), and MovieClip.swapDepth() has been removed, I am wondering how I can simply set an existing DisplayObject to the highest depth -- imagine the following scenario: I have 4 portal like panels, and they all exist in a Canvas. When I double click on the header of one of the panels, it *maximizes.* I would need to make that Panel live at the highest depth and don't want to remove the child and then replace it with a new vr just to set it to the highest level.

However, this does not hold true for .Net which only runs in Windows. As for performance, I would actually analyze what the requirements are for your application and develop a proof of concept or test unit, to see the performance in each of them. You should also consider here that RemoteObject in Flex will only work for Java, for ColdFusion you need the Event Gateway Adapter. For any others such as .Net and PHP you will need to use HTTPService or WebService. Consider that your choice might run slower than others. Lastly, I think it is highly important to consider if your company is heading to an specific technology and how many knowledgeable people you have on the technology of your choice. We are familiar with antagonisms like Unix vs Windows or SQL Server vs Oracle, and how people go on how one is better than the other. However, I truly believe that if you have a good understanding of a technology you can make it work for you independently of any drawbacks it might have. |-+- | | | | | Kelly @ Dekayd Media Inc.| | | dekayd | | | Sent by: | | | flexcoders@yahoogroups.com | | | 05/02/2006 01:05 PM | | | Please respond to | | | flexcoders | | | | |-+- --- --| | | | To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com | | cc: | | Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Server-Side Architecture for Flex App | --- --| The Flex server is built on Java and I think that Flex was originally developed to integrate the most efficiently with Java.

[flexcoders] Re: AS3 Custom Component question
Manish, Thanks for your suggestion, I tried exending from ScrollControlBase but still had problems to get the scroll bar to show up. I think this has to do with how I set up the custom component. Basically, I have a custom AS component that draws a bunch of boxes. This custom component is wrapped in an mx:customComponent tag and used in the rest of the flex app. The problem occurs when drawn boxes dimensions exceeds the bounding mxml file. Which, in normal situation, scrollbars would pop up. It was as if the custom component's parent mxml file couldn't properly register the total dimension of its custom child. My workaround was to put in a mx:Vbox width=1 height={customBoxHeight} and mx:HBox height=1 width={customBoxWidth} into the custom component's mxml wrapper. These boxes effectively serves as dimension holders within the wrapper mxml. Since these are flex containers, their sizes are correctly seen by flex. All that is left to do is to adjust the sizes of these boxes according to the dimension of the custom component. Note: {customBoxHeight} and {customBoxWidth} are values from the custom component. This solution is quite simple to implement and is quite reliable for those who run into this problem.

RE: [flexcoders] NumberValidator dynamic binding problems
Unfortunately Validators in Flex 1.5 don't support binding in values like your example. Instead, you need to programmatically create a NumberValidator and update the maxValue property when maxVal changes. Then you'll need to call the validator's doValidation function yourself when you lose focus from the field you are validating. In Flex 2.0, it is possible to bind in values to a validator's properties.

RE: [flexcoders] mx:states vs mx:viewstack when and which?
I think it's often a style preference. I tend to think of a viewstack as being useful when you want to replace a whole section. Look at view 1. Now look at view 2. States are better for modes of a component, now we're in expanded view, now we're in thumbnail view. As soon as you want the same component moving around I think you'll use a state. In some cases I might have a state for the larger component where one of the things I'll change in the state is the selectedIndex of a ViewStack :-) I think it's going to take the community some time to use the features before coming up with a best practice pattern of where you would use one over the other.
