[flexcoders] Thanks to all that helped (CVS/VSS thread)
Just a quick thank-you to all that contributed to my thread - There were some excellent contributions, and a wide variety of suggestions. Just to let you all know, I decided to use VSS - since I already own it. I've been an Enterprise MSDN Subscriber for many years now, and as many of you probably know, Visual Studio.NET is part of the bundle (in which VSS is part of .NET). Since it's easiest for me to use what I already have, in addition to a small learning curve figuring out CVS, VSS will work for now. Actually, the Public Domain plug-in created for Eclipse, was written quite well - so I'd like to commend the folks out there, who made that happen. Take care all, and thanks again :) Mike

[flexcoders] Re: Remove the row selection from the datagrid
Hi Arpan, Whenever I've experienced unexpected colors, trying to set a style, it's usually been a typo or an unsupported property. I'm not sure what you're trying to acheive, but DataGrid does have a selectable property; that might solve your problem. If not, does the text turn black if you remove your extended class? I would start by checking the syntax (#FF, 0xFF); punctuation if you will. If everthing's cool there, then check again. myDataGrid.selectable=false; might be a good option, that doesn't require extra code. -TH __ Tim Hoff Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Office http://www.cynergysystems.comoffice/ : 866-CYNERGY --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, arpan srivastava [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I don't want the datagrid selection i.e. whenever you click on a row it gets selected. for this I overrided the drawSelectionInidicator() and left it empty.

[flexcoders] Label /Text Html font size bug
There appears to be a bug with html text inside label/font controls. The controls do not resize properly to take into account Html font sizes, thus measuring the field too small. Has anyone come across a workaround or re-written the controls to fix this? I don't want to start doing so if it's already been done. Setting the controls fotnSize property does fix this issue, however it then overrides any font sizes the html specifies and thus kinda defeats the object. Cheers, Steve

[flexcoders] FDS not receiving calls asynchronously
I am having an issue with concurrency using FDS. I have six calls going to the same destination (all different methods) at the same time. Setting up logging on the client side I see that Flex is sending the calls all at the same time, however in the server log (being recorded at the beginning and end of each method) I notice that each call is being completed before the next call is started. There is no code to block that I am writing, in fact the first line of the method writes to a log. Inside the method there is some message retrieval happening and each of the calls can take a different amount of time, the calls were broken up to allow for retrieval to come back asap, however the synchronous behaviour is preventing us from having 2 longer calls running at the same time. Are there settings that I am unaware of in the remoting-config that can fix this behaviour? Is there code in the messagebromer that is making this synchronous? I have tried increasing the framerate of the main application mxml and utilizing the callLater feature, but there is no change in behaviour.
RE: [flexcoders] Newbie: Why can't I add a button!
Thanks very much for responding Gordon, I appreciate your's and Matt's
time.
Why AS3? Comfort zone I guess. I'm coming from a Java background. I'm
investigating the feasibility of creating an Eclipse like plug-in
framework for adding new screens and functionality that extend a solid
framework core. The aim? Having our P/S people being able to added
customer-specific screens and functionality and so on into a
standardized production framework without having to jump through
Struts/JSP/EJB/deployment hoops.
I'm pretty familiar with Eclipse having some plug in work there and I
guess that model is my starting point.
I'll look further into the XMXL side while I investigate. Thanks.
Greg.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Newbie: Why can't I add a button!
Sorry, although we've made it easy to write components in either MXML or
AS3, we haven't done the same with Application. If you are a newbie you
should start out with mx:Application in MXML. You can then use AS3 for
all your components if you really want to. I hope we can make this
better in a future release.
What's going on is that when the MXML compiler compiles an
mx:Application it autogenerates code to set up a lot of stuff such as
the default CSS type selectors that various components like Button
depend on. These aren't getting set up when you simply extend
Application as an AS3 class. When Button calls getStyle() to find out
what it's skin class should be, it's getting a null Clas reference.
Once you are no longer a newbie, you can use mxmlc's
-keep-generated-actionscript option to see all the generated code, and
set this stuff up yourself it you insist. But I really don't understand
why some developers like AS3 so much better tham MXML. Would you write a
web app all in JS and no HTML?

have an Application, and add an Image to it and it is fine. I add a

comment out the line that does the addChild(button) it correctly
adds and displays the Image. What am I doing wrong? What is wrong
with how I am adding a button? Both Button and Image descend from
UIComponent.

[flexcoders] Rotating BarChart
Another charting question! :D Is there an easy way to have the Bar chart rotated? I want to let the user flick a switch that changes it from one direction to the other, but using the rotation style obviously screws up the labels. I tried just changing BarChart to ColumnChart, BarWidthRatio to ColumnWidthRatio and BarSeries to ColumnSeries but the chart looks completely different (only showing two columns, instead of the 10 in my data, and they're 50% wide each). I tried fiddling with some of the other numbers, but got nowhere. Are Bar and Column charts supposed to be the same, but rotated? If not, is there a nice way to rotate the bar chart so the bars are vertical?

[flexcoders] XML No trim
Hi Guys, How are you doing? I need a help. Its a simple requirement. I need to parse a xml string. But I do not white the whitespace of values inside tags to be trimmed. For example- a maeesage like FlexName JB/Name/Flex should come as it is. By default i see the value JB is timmed to JB. I looked at xml properties. I found two related properties. 1. ignoreWhiteSpace. This ignore whitespace outside tags. default is true. 2. prettyPrinitng. This default is true. I made it false. This was helpful in sending white space to other xml as it disables trimming. Both flags do not solving my problem when I dont want spaces to be trimmed while parsing. Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Remove the row selection from the datagrid
Hi Tim,
I did myDataGrid.selectable=false but this will stop dispatching the
MouseOver event and it will not even highlight the row. I will try to explain
you in detail.
I created a combobox from where you can change the font size of the text in the
row. Now if you click on a row it gets selected and the fontcolor becomes black
(no matter what color it was before). This default behaviour and I want to
change this thing.
I have overriden the drawSelectionIndicator() so that it does not draw the
selection indicator, but still if I click on any row and then change the font
size or font color, the font color of the clicked row becomes black.

Not sure what you mean about getting part of it, but there are some ways of dealing with complex results. Whenever I've encountered web services that return deeply nested or very complex structures I've set the resultFormat of the operation to e4x. This allows you to use E4X expressions to access the deeply nested information with simple constructs like wsResult..deeplyNestedNode, etc. rather than having to drill down each level like you do with an object structure.

Re: [flexcoders] Understanding the FocusManager
That's a great answer especially considering I wasn't exactly sure what I was asking. I think I have two more questions which would finish up this line of questioning for me. (I'm working off the UIComponent API doc also.) 1. If you click on a composite component, it will walk up the parent tree until it finds mouseFocusEnabled = true, and then walk up the tree until it finds focusEnabled = true, and then set the focus to that component? 2. What happens if you have mouseFocusEnabled and tabEnabled both equal false and focusEnabled = true. Then you can set focus through code or by clicking on a child? All of this assumes that mouseEnabled and mouseChildrenEnabled are set correctly. (I'll be honest that I'm a little confused with mouseChildrenEnabled also, but I haven't looked very hard for that yet.) Thanks, - Dan On 11/16/06, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From the focus guru: Actually, Flash will remove focus from a textfield when the mouse is clicked outside of the textfield. The Flex FM always tries to make sure something has focus always (generally a good practice for accessibility) so it will not let focus go away unless something else is clicked that is IFocusManagerComponent and has mouseFocusEnabled=true. You have to implement IFocusManagerComponent in order to be a focus candidate from the Flex FM perspective and have focusEnabled=true to actually receive focus. mouseFocusEnabled says whether you want to receive focus via mouse clicks, tabEnabled says whether you want to receive focus from the keyboard. focusEnabled=false is a good way to disable child components like scrollbars that shouldn't receive focus HTH, -Alex -- *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Daniel Freiman *Sent:* Thursday, November 16, 2006 12:18 PM *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com *Subject:* Re: [flexcoders] Understanding the FocusManager There's not any specific question yet.

What I'm worried about is that in Flash 8 this type of problem tended to compound and I actually spent 40% of my time just trying to resolve focus issues because I didn't understand focus when I started writing the program. 2. My second issue is just that I want to make sure I'm using the object properties correctly (focusEnabled, mouseFocusEnabled). From reading the docs, they seem to enable receiving focus events, but set focus to only objects that have mouseFocusEnabled=true? If either of this spark a specific answer, I would appreciate it.

[flexcoders] RegExp Validator
Hey there,
I'm trying to use a standard regular expression in a RegExpValidator.
Here's the validator markup:
mx:RegExpValidator id=newPasswordValidator expression=[a-zA-Z0-9]{6,8}
source={newPassword} property=text requiredFieldError=This fields
is required.
noMatchError=Passwords must be 6 to 8 characters in length and include
letters and
numbers/
It keeps saying that a password like '64months' (without the apostrophes) is no
good when it
should be. The expression should validate such that any characters from a-z and
A-Z and
0-9 should be ok, as long as the total length of chars is between 6 - 8 chars
long. This
expresion works great in PHP.
I must be missing something about how AS or Flex deals with it. Any help would
be
appreciated.

[flexcoders] Better way to update sub-records, Flex and Coldfusion
Hi all, I have been programming for a while now and have always used a particular method to update sub-records in a data driven application. I know there is a better way and was hoping flexcoders could point me in a solid direction. Let's say I have a table called MasterRecords and one called SubRecords - Each record in the SubRecords table has a Foreign Key called MasterRecordsID which ties it to the MasterRecords table. When I do an update I typically go through and delete all instances of SubRecords from that table and then re-insert them. It is a working method, but tends to create load on the database that is not needed. Is there a better way to handle updates of SubRecords?

[flexcoders] Re: Auto incrementing values for datagrid
Below I have a quick and dirty way of making the row show up. However
if you were looking for the number to move with the item when you sort
then you need a different approach and should almost consider adding
the number to the data source. As when you sort the data grid it
actually rearranges its data source which is shown by the text box i
added. Which is always showing the contents of the first index of the
array collection.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Auto incrementing values for datagrid
I think there are only two ways to do it. Create a Class that keeps track of this Auto Increment Variable which will contain and auto increment every time you add 1 to the variable. Or you can link this to a bankEnd Database which will keep track of the number for you. There are 3 flavors these days with databases: 1. Use XML by converting it from the server either via Php or Coldfusion (or whatever other server language you like). 2. Flash Remoting 3. FDS Also if you have many people using this datagrid if you don't use some kind of backend database, how are you going to keep track of who has the maximum number for you to auto increment.

[flexcoders] Photo Viewer Sample App
The Photo Viewer Sample App has a ViewStack with 3 views: ThumbnailView
..., CarouselView ..., SlideShowView
When I move CarouselView ... to the top of the stack, on execution it throws
an: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object
reference.
Poking around with the debugger the problem is that the property gallery =
null.
It all works fine as originally written. That is when CarouselView ... is
not the first view in the stack. The default app PhotoViewer.mxml uses
databinding for passing in gallery={gallery} to each of the 3 views.
Can anyone help out suggesting why CarouselView ... only fails when it is
first view in the stack?
fyi ...
The Photo Viewer Sample App is easy to install via the Flex Builder 2 Flex
Start Page
(Install sequence: Main Menu - Help - Flex Start Page - More installed
samples - Photo Viewer - Open Project)
Because ResourceBundle are used, you might encounter the (annoying) bug 174788
(as documented in TechNote at www.adobe.com/go/4a146409) which requires In
Flex Builder, clean the project in order to remove the error.
I really would like to get Photo Viewer Sample App working with CarouselView
... as the default view. If anyone can help me figure out how to do that, I
would appreciate it.
In debugging this I have gotten as far as ...
When the Error #1009 occurs, FB2 opens Carousel.as pointing to the first
statement in method reset() which references: gallery.selected
Using a breakpoint, the debugger's Variables panel showsgallery=null.
I then modified reset() to include if ( gallery != null ) in 2 places.
1) around: var selected:int = gallery.selected;
2) around the entire loop: for (var i:int=0; i 9; i++)
This clears the #1009 error, but the Variables window continues to show
gallery=null. Only if I then navigate to either ThumbnailView ... or
SlideShowView ... before navigating back to CarouselView ... does the
databinding finally set the gallery property and CarouselView ... works.

THANKS! Will.
RE: [flexcoders] Newbie: Why can't I add a button!

About what? My previous reply explained that an mx:Application in MXML
autogenerates CSS selector setup code that you don't get when you simply
subclass Application in AS3. That's why this works and your previous
code didn't. Turn on -keep-autogenerated-actionscript to see this code.

I have taken my first newbie steps to creating a stand-alone AS3
Application and have come across something I cannot understand. I
have an Application, and add an Image to it and it is fine. I add a
Button to it and it blows up with the AS3 equivalent of a null
pointer exception. The code is below. The error is below that. If I
comment out the line that does the addChild(button) it correctly
adds and displays the Image. What am I doing wrong? What is wrong
with how I am adding a button? Both Button and Image descend from
UIComponent.
package {
import mx.core.*;
import mx.events.*;
import mx.skins.halo.*;
import mx.styles.*;
import mx.controls.*;
import flash.display.*;
public class FirstApp extends Application
{
[Embed(source=connected_multiple_big.jpg)]
private var ImageClass:Class;
public function FirstApp()
{
super();
this.layout = vertical;
this.setStyle(borderSkin,mx.skins.halo.HaloBorder);
this.addEventListener(FlexEvent.APPLICATION_COMPLETE, doInit);
}
private function doInit(e:FlexEvent):void {
var img:Image = new Image();
img.setStyle(verticalAlign,top);
img.source = ImageClass;
addChild(img);
// the troublesome test button. addChild() here causes a null object
reference exception
var button:Button = new Button();
button.label = label;
addChild(button);
}
}
}
///

RE: [flexcoders] RegExp Validator
Maybe the MXML compiler is trying to interpret the {6, 8} as a binding
expression similar to {newPassword}. Try setting the 'expression'
property in an initialize handler instead.

Subject: [flexcoders] RegExp Validator
Hey there,
I'm trying to use a standard regular expression in a RegExpValidator.
Here's the validator markup:
mx:RegExpValidator id=newPasswordValidator
expression=[a-zA-Z0-9]{6,8}
source={newPassword} property=text requiredFieldError=This fields
is required.
noMatchError=Passwords must be 6 to 8 characters in length and include
letters and
numbers/
It keeps saying that a password like '64months' (without the
apostrophes) is no good when it
should be. The expression should validate such that any characters from
a-z and A-Z and
0-9 should be ok, as long as the total length of chars is between 6 - 8
chars long. This
expresion works great in PHP.
I must be missing something about how AS or Flex deals with it. Any help
would be
appreciated.
thanksie,
marky

[flexcoders] DataGrid Click event - unexpected results
I have a grid, and a click event defined. On a click on a row, I determine the row using selectedIndex, then I display data in another grid on a different tab depending on a product id from the selected row. This works fine, except when I click in the header or the scroll bar of the grid, the click event gets fired, when obviously I was not wanting that to happen. I tried the change event, but that only recognizes changes in the row, so does not allow the same row to be clicked a second time. Is there any way to only capture a click on a data row? Thanks Andrew

Re: [flexcoders] WebService woes - faultCode: EncodingError - faultString: Unknown Property
Turns out this was caused by the images property which was an empty ArrayCollection. The operation succeeds if I pass null for the images. I have no idea why the error was reporting what it was. Paul Spitzer wrote: Hi all, Hoping someone can help me out here. We've recently switched our Web Services implementation on the server from Axis to XFire.

[flexcoders] Iterating through a loop with radiobuttons - giving unique instance

Re: [flexcoders] AutoScroll Text Area, and AS3 timer
I am in need of a news ticker/scroller too, and I'm wondering if I'm just better off building it in Flash rather than Flex? Another question related to the timer...in AS2 I used setInterval or onEnterFrame for animation, but (at least the way I did it) with both of those methods performance degraded as the animations ran if the actions were not deleted at some point (in other words you could not do a constant animation with either of those effects). Does anyone know if this happens with the Timer object too? I know you can pass a tick limit to stop the timer, but I found out (hehe - by accident) that if you pass a 0 it just keeps going. Is that an evil thing to do? Maybe I'm just going about it it all wrong and this is not even an issue, if so I'd appreciate any advice :) Thanks, Rachel On 11/17/06, KP [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, Sorry for bugging you on this one again but below is the sample code which contain textArea and I want to som how autoscroll the contect present in textarea.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: text not word wrapping
I believe you have to sent an explicit pixel width on a Text component for
it to wrap, kind of a bummer if you want it to stretch but still wrap. The
Flex docs describe the behavior:
If you specify a pixel value for both the height and width properties, any
text that exceeds the size of the control is clipped at the border.
If you specify an explicit pixel width, but no height, Flex wraps the text
to fit the width and calculates the height to fit the required number of
lines.
If you specify a percentage-based width and no height, Flex does not wrap
the text, and the height equals the number of lines as determined by the
number of Return characters.
If you specify only a height and no width, the height value does not affect
the width calculation, and Flex sizes the control to fit the width of the
maximum line.

sort of fixed this by setting a percent width on the text bit,
wrapping works until you scroll past the word wrapped rows then those

In my CSS file, rather than specify tab styles like this:

Unforunately, I do not know of a way to do this? Do you?
Look at ButtonSkin.as, I think they use the switch(name)-statement to
accomplish this:

[flexcoders] Communicating with an embedded SWF from Flex App
I have recently begun migrating an application that was originally written in C# to Flex. The application utilized the Flash ActiveX control to display an SWF that was used for video conferencing.

How do I emulate the 'SetVariable' call? I have the SWF loaded and displaying properly using SWFLoader. Is the 'SetVariable' acheived through the LocalConnection component?

Pass the AxisRenderer a reference to a class (wrapped in a classFactory, just as with itemRenderers) that extends UIComponent, ProgrammaticSkin, or one of the existing Flex components, and implements the IDataRenderer interface. The AxisRenderer will instantiate one of these for each label it needs to show, and assign the label to the labelRenderer's 'data' property. I don't think there are any examples out there of how to do this today. Ely. p.s. You could also consider writing a custom axisRenderer...there's a pretty exhaustive example of how to do that in the Interactive Bubble Chart on my blog, http://www.quietlyscheming.com/.

[flexcoders] Re: Ely: How do you wordwrap a label on a bar chart?
Patrick,
Sorry to highjack your thread. Here's a method to display a multi-lined
Axis label:
labelFunction:
public function
wrapLabel(cat:Object,pcat:Object,ax:CategoryAxis,catItem:Object):String
{
var pattern:RegExp = /-/;
return cat.replace(pattern, -\n);
}
Axis:
mx:horizontalAxis
mx:CategoryAxis categoryField=CategoryField
labelFunction=wrapLabel/
/mx:horizontalAxis
This example changes:
11/17/06 - 12/16/06
to
11/17/06 -
12/16/06
By using regular expresions, you have quite a bit of flexibility.

Thanks Ely, that makes sense now. I'll give it a try. Luckily, both
series are using the same dataProvider, so I'll have access to the
data
property and probably be able to eliminate the second axis completely.

Great Stuff!

Hi Tim. yes, the AxisRenderer supports a property called
'labelRenderer' which is very much like an item renderer. Pass the
AxisRenderer a reference to a class (wrapped in a classFactory, just
as
with itemRenderers) that extends UIComponent, ProgrammaticSkin, or
one
of the existing Flex components, and implements the IDataRenderer
interface. The AxisRenderer will instantiate one of these for each
label it needs to show, and assign the label to the labelRenderer's
'data' property.
I don't think there are any examples out there of how to do this
today.
Ely.
p.s. You could also consider writing a custom axisRenderer...there's
a
pretty exhaustive example of how to do that in the Interactive
Bubble
Chart on my blog, http://www.quietlyscheming.com/. You could
theoretically create two axis renderers that stack on the left hand
side
that way, although that's a pretty big undertaking.

Hi Ely,
I got this far with wordwrapping the label text, but my question is
more complicated. I want to have two verticalAxisRenderers, side-by-
side, on the same side of a ColumnChart. Or, create a single
LabelRenderer to simulate this. One of the labels needs a shaded
background with text, while the other is just text. While digging
into it, the docs say to use IFactory for a chart LabelRenderer. Is
this similar to an ItemRenderer for a DataGrid? Understandably,
there aren't any examples yet that show how to do this.
If you have the time, thanks,

A Vertical Axis why Field, my labels are being cut off, my width
dimension is fixed to 280 pixels, so the column needs to wrap
down?
