[flexcoders] Resizing a ROW of a "List" view.

2006-11-26 Thread Steve Kellogg @ Project SOC

Hello,

 

I'm displaying a list of rows. The rows are rendered via an Item renderer.

 

One of the items in the row is a "Text" field that's setup to wrap text.  As
per the documentation, I've set the WIDTH of the Text field (to "100%") but
NOT the height, so that the text field can decide for itself how high the
Text needs to be.

 

When the control first appears, it CORRECTLY sets the size of each row to
the wrapped height of the text control within the Renderer (it's a beautiful
thing).

 

When I change the WIDTH of the control, however (via resizing the window, or
moving the HDivider that the list sits atop), the list does NOT change the
Row height to accommodate the new height of the row (yes, the text DOES
re-wrap, and this is why I was hoping that the List would 'see' this event).

 

Is there anyway for me to tell this list to continue looking for re-wrap of
the enclosed text?  I would have thought that this would be automatic since
SO MUCH of the layout is indeed automagical.

 

Any advice is appreciated.

 

 

Steve

I have a vBox in my main application and when I add content to the vBox, 
the size changes. Is there a way that I can add a listener to the size 
of this box, and when it changes size, make it animate? I am sure there

Re: [flexcoders] Bit Off topic: Microsoft Vista VS Apollo/Flex/Flash

"few Linux/mac people" - Yes there are a smaller proportion of Mac users
(constantly increasing - there were a lot of switchers at MAX), but they're
often the real early adapters - and that's the folk who you want singing the
praises of your wonderful new creation...

show cased reminded me of the capabilities of Apollo which is soon to
be released and Flex/Flash.

"Microsoft Expressions" a new development tool reminded a lot of
people of flash studio and it seems like a copy of flash with A
Microsoft label on top. Although I didn't get to see a lot of the

laughing saying it looked like flash. however looking at the code that
was generated and the movements and transitions were basically
generated with java.

When they were showing how to program their "gadgets" which the
presenter even slipped and called widgets not just once but twice they
made it actually fairly simple. 3 short files of javascript, xaml
markup, and c# for a simple gadget however with the demos I have seen
of Apollo I believe in the end there will be by far more Apollo
gadgets/widgets or what ever you want to call them compared to Vista
gadgets. And as a plus Apollo is cross platform where needless to say
the few Linux/mac people that were there were not impressed with the
windows only capability but talking with a couple saying that Apollo
could do the same things but also work on Linux/mac machine I must say
it really made their day.

While Apollo's future will obviously go far beyond just simple widgets
this just seems to be how Microsoft lined up their development demos
showing mainly a few gadgets and bunch of "look what happens to the
button when I click on it". The only thing that I saw showcased as far
as application development that Microsoft has an edge with is 3d
rendering, which in time I imagine flash will have very little
problems with.

I have also been wondering if they got their RMA term from RIA. Rich
Media Application vs Rich Internet Application?

Re: [flexcoders] Bit Off topic: Microsoft Vista VS Apollo/Flex/Flash

2006-11-26 Thread John C. Bland II


Vista isn't -vs- Apollo/Flex/Flash. Here's the breakdown:

WPF vs Apollo (and swf wrappers)
WPF/E vs Flex/Flash

I didn't read your entire post but I wanted to add that clarification. The
Expression family isn't the whole round trip. You build WPF apps, most of
the time at least, with Visual Studio. Expression has GREAT integration
between the products. You start as a designer creating the interface (with
full XAML code exported), move to Interactive Designer and add a few mod's
(maybe even some code), then use the same code in Visual Studio to tie in
data and everything else. Graphics and everything are all in code. Very
nicely done...seriously.

My opinion as to how they compare:

WPF -vs- Apollo
* WPF will probably blow Apollo out of the water in terms of system
integration. Apollo has a few things that integrate into the OS but being
cross platform somewhat prevents it from fully integrating like WPF. Keep in
mind...WPF is .NET so you have great control over Windows.
* Apollo easily wins at cross platform.
* Apollo wins at ease of use/creation. WPF isn't terribly difficult but for
normal .NET developers not used to control over the UI that WPF gives, it
can be a bit daunting.
* The power of WPF apps wins. Native database support, app signing (which I
don't think Apollo will have), etc.

WPF/E -vs- Flash/Flex
* No argument...WPF/E has a LONG way to go. Flash/Flex wins without a doubt.
Nothing further here. :-)

Actually, Microsoft Expression is new Microsoft Platform for "artistic"

of three tools : Web Designer (codename Quartz) - which is a replacement

Graphic Designer (codename Acrylic), and Interactive Designer (codename

[flexcoders] Field in viewstack null until the layere its on has been made visible?

2006-11-26 Thread rumpleminzeflickr

Hi,

I have a datagrid, when I click on an item it switches the viewstack to 
another element but doesn't display the data in a field because the 
field is null. I get an error but if I run it again it works.

Looking at the debugger the field is null the first time, the second 
time it is of the correct type (mx.controls ...)

Is this normal behaviour? How would I get around this so I can populate 
the field before it is displayed.

Many thanks,

Brett

Hi there,
You can use headers on SOAP, take a look at  
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=1158.html

I'm using that in an application and works fine.

[flexcoders] Adding dynamic fields to an ArrayCollection

2006-11-26 Thread michrx7

Using the code below I am able to create an array collection and set 
it as the provider of a datagrid (the resort the columns to match 
the way I want them to display). 

Now I have two issues I need to solve if anyone is able to help: 

1) I have of defined static arrays (mynewArray1 - 3) to add to the 
array collection and I need these to be dynamic (mynewArray[0] - n)

2) When I use myArrayCol.addItem({Name:...) I need to build this 
dynamically since the field names will be dynamic. I'd like to use 
the mycolNames array instead. As an example myArrayCol.addItem
({mycolNames[0]:mynewArray[n][z]}

Here is the code:

___

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
layout="absolute" creationComplete="initArray();">


 


 


___

I hope I'm being clear... I need to add an unknown number of columns 
to the ArrayCollection so I can't manually define it in the mxml. 
I'll be looping through a set of user choices and building the array 
collection based on those choices.

Please help!

[flexcoders] CSS stylesheets and Textfields

2006-11-26 Thread {reduxdj}

I have a stylesheet with my embedded font links that work fine, how do i 
use my stylesheet with a textformatter for a new text object?

var formatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
  
formatter.bold = true;
formatter.color = "0xFF";
formatter.font = "arial";
formatter.size = "32";
question.setTextFormat(formatter);

I've tried a couple different examples and the stylesheet stuff is a 
little hard for me wrap my head around.  I'm placing text over a 
rectangle that i draw, so the text class works better for me than the 
textfield class in this example.

Re: [flexcoders] Loader to Image

2006-11-26 Thread {reduxdj}

Sebastian:

Why don't you create your own component like the following then you can 
bind your component source to your variable then you can control size 
and effects etc.  I prefer SWFLoader to loader and i don't know why but 
everyone says to use that instead

var box:Thumb = new Thumb();
box.pSource = "myURLtoMyImage";

And this way you have complete flexablilty.


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="60" 
height="45" styleName="thumbUp" creationComplete="init()">

I'm using Loader class to dynamically load images from server, as it's 
advised in "Loading content dynamically" of * 
*Programming ActionScript 3.0 - Flex doc.

But there's one thing I don't understand. In example there, we have :

|var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
pictLdr.load(new URLRequest(some_url));
this.addChild(pictLdr);

- and in every example, the Loader class is automatically added to a 
certain container. How is that different from mx:Image? I don't have 
image location at compilation time, it is created in runtime. Can I 
point mx:Image source to computed url or not? If I have to use Loader 
class then, is there any way to *copy* loader content into mx:Image I 
have in my design?  I can use mx:Image as a container and put Loader 
into it, but then I will loose my Image properties, like automatic 
scaling. What I am missing?


It is important for me, to see the image container in Flex Builder, so 
when I show the screen mockup to my client, he will be able to see that 
at this and this place there will be image loaded at runtime. Should I 
use SWFLoader maybe?

[flexcoders] adding Bitmap to a container

2006-11-26 Thread Mark Piller

I am experiencing a difficulting adding a Bitmap to a container using
the addChild() method. The error i get is:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.display::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IUIComponent.

The error actually makes sense since flash.display.Bitmap does not
implement IUIComponent, which aparently is required, since the doc for
mx.core.Container.addChild says:

"Note: While the child argument to the method is specified as of type
DisplayObject, the argument must implement the IUIComponent interface
to be added as a child of a container. All Flex components implement
this interface."

However, the documentation for the Bitmap class states the following:

"The Bitmap() constructor allows you to create a Bitmap object that
contains a reference to a BitmapData object. After you create a Bitmap
object, use the addChild() or addChildAt() method of the parent
DisplayObjectContainer instance to place the bitmap on the display list."

Anyone has any idea what's going on with this? Is the documentation
incorrect? Has anyone been able to add Bitmap to the display list?

Thanks,
Mark

Hello,

 

I have a TileList that conatins some images and text.  The normal scroll
behavior is to scroll to each row in the list, but I need to be able to
scroll at a finer level, so that I can scroll through large pictures that

Can anyone help?

Yes, I've had similar thoughts but like you I'm not sure it's the best 
solution. I've been inclined to think that HibernateTools probably knows 
what it's doing and that I should be able to use the structure that it 
has created. But I'm also not sure that this is a safe assumption. :-)

I am not sure what the best way of mapping it would be so as to eliminate
the circular reference.

 

I am not great at Hibernate.

 

 

Maybe if you eliminated the one-to-many relationships on Film and Actor.

 

Then you would have a separate collection of FilmActors that you could query
by film or actor.

It would eliminate the circular reference but I am not sure it's the best

Thanks for your response Kelly, but I think that I already have an 
intermediate class, implemented on both client (.as) and server (.java)

The FilmActor table has many-to-one relationships with both Film & Actor 
tables.

FilmActor.java & FilmActorVO.as are the intermediate classes that map to 
this table.

I'm guessing that you got the impression that I have no intermediate 
class from my explanation, right below the first link, which I 
oversimplified.

Here's a revised version:

Hi All,

I'm attempting to create a Cairngorm/FDMS/Hibernate/MySQL example 
program which I'll publish to the community once completed. I used the 
MySQL Sakila sample DB (pared down to 3 tables - Film, Actor & FilmActor 
- at present) and used HibernateTools to reverse engineer the requisite 
Java and Hibernate files. So far, so good. I've even managed to 
successfully write corresponding .as files and implement the beginnings 
of a Cairngorm front end.

And it works. Kind of.

The problem is that the persistence layer takes forever to load, even 
though the 3 tables only have hundreds or thousands of records each. 
I've temporarily pared them down considerably (to 100, 100 & 500 
records) and the program now loads quickly enough that I can continue 
development work, but the performance issue needs to be addressed.

It's fairly easy to see what the problem is. Here's a picture of the 
variable window that depicts the situation in all its glory:

http://www.brightwo

rks.com/technology/tech_questions/hibernate_lazy_associations/deeply_nested_
actors_and_films.jpg 

Beautiful, isn't it?? :-)

There's a reference chain that goes like this on the client side:

ActorVO references...

A FilmActors ArrayCollection which contains...

ObjectProxy instances (translations of FilmActor.java) which reference...

Both ActorVO & FilmVO instances which both reference...

A FilmActors ArrayCollection which contains...

ObjectProxy instances (translations of FilmActor.java) which reference...

Both ActorVO & FilmVO instances which both reference...

Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

I wonder how many levels deep this goes? The program doesn't hang so I 
assume that Flex puts a stop to it at some point...

Anyway, I'm assuming that the solution is to implement lazy 
associations. My understanding is that Hibernate does lazy associations 
by default, so once I set up my destinations properly all will be well. 
But despite several attempts, I keep getting error messages.

Could one of the Hibernate gurus that inhabits this list point me in the 
correct direction?

The DB's schema is outlined here:

http://www.brightwo

rks.com/technology/tech_questions/hibernate_lazy_associations/index.html 

And all relevant code, plus my latest error message, is here:

http://www.brightwo

rks.com/technology/tech_questions/hibernate_lazy_associations/code.txt 

I assume that my problem is in data-management-config.xml, but I'm new 
to all of this and could be doing other things wrong as well.

TIA!

Re: [flexcoders] How to implement Lazy Hibernate?

2006-11-26 Thread Douglas McCarroll

Hi Kelly,

 > Most of the time you need additional information stored in the "link 
table"

It looks to me as though I have a link table - film_actor.

I'm assuming that as my .java and .hbm.xml classes are generated by 
HibernateTools from the DB, they are correct.

I'm guessing that they work fine absent FDMS, despite their circular 
references, due to the fact that Hibernate has lazy loading turned on by 
default.

And that the problem enters in because FDMS has lazy loading turned off 
by default.

Therefore, the solution would be to turn lazy loading off in my 
data-services-config.xml file.

Problem is, I get an error when I do this.

I've gotten some input from another person - may be a simple matter of 
handling the error in try-catch block - and I'll report back to the list 
on what I figure out...

Thanks for your input!

Douglas

>From Hibernate Best Practices:

 

 

Don't use exotic association mappings. 

Good usecases for a real many-to-many associations are rare. Most of the
time you need additional information stored in the "link table". In this
case, it is much better to use two one-to-many associations to an
intermediate link class. In fact, we think that most associations are
one-to-many and many-to-one, you should be careful when using any other
association style and ask yourself if it is really neccessary.

 

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/reference/en/html/best-practices.html

 

 

 

 

I think FDS has a hibernate adaptor but that isn't going to solve your
circular reference.

Tom,

it was 13:26:20 (CET) on my Mac.

nowString: Thu Nov 23 13:26:20 GMT+0100 2006
looks good, matches my locale time.

utcString: Thu Nov 23 12:26:20 2006 UTC

fromDate: 14:26:20
fromString: 14:26:20
fromLocaleString: 14:26:20
fromUTCString: 13:26:20

but these look bad. Why is the _Formatter_ adding one hour? The used method is 
format and not convert or addOneHourAndFormat.

Remember, output of first two is from simple toString()/toUTCString() and time 
looks fine - but output from Formatter is plus one hour. IMHO it's a problem 
with DateFormatter not Date or my timezone.

there is any such capability with these tools. The interesting thing is
reading such xml is built into XMLDecode, which is an undocumented api for
parsing XML into actionscript. But its unclear what rules it uses to
determine how to convert such things as dates. In any case it didnt work
right because there was no way I could find to indicate that even though it
saw a number that I really wanted that number to be treated as a string.

Regards,
Hank

I have been using remoting to get data out of my database and into flex.
The nice thing about this is it handles all the data conversion issues etc.
But now, I have a need to be able to communicate certain data in XML format.
I would imagine that there must be a clean process/format for communicating
between server and client in XML such that the datatypes and reserved
characters such as ",',>,<,& are handled.

what is the easiest way of doing this? Is there some XML database
communications standard which flex can read? Do people just roll their own
(ugh?). There must be a clean easy way to do this.

[flexcoders] How to know when all data has been returned from a Remote Object Call?

2006-11-26 Thread jroblang

Apologies if this question has been answered before, but I am a newbie to flex 
(and to web 
programming in general).  

I have a situation where I need to make calls to two different remote objects 
(ColdFusion 
queries) where one query depends on the results of the other.  Call 1 needs to 
be 
completed before Call 2 can execute.  How do you figure out when Call 1 has 
retrieved all 
its data, so that Call 2 can be processed?  Is some sort of event dispatched?  
I've tried 
executing call two after loading the data from Call 1 into an Array Collection, 
but it always 
results in the following error:

Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

which I assume is because the data returned hasn't yet been bound to the model. 
 

I can get the two calls to work when I manually dispatch the event (with a 
Button click) 
after I see the results returned from Call 1 in a datagrid, but this is not an 
ultimate 
solution, since this needs to happen without user input.

Any suggestions?  I'm completely befuddled.  If you need more info or want to 
see the 
code, let me know.  Thanks.

[flexcoders] validation for form reset

2006-11-26 Thread relisanhard52

Hi
I am having a form whose fields i can validate without any issues. I 
need to have an option of reset.
In my reset, i have

private function reset():void
{
nameValidator.enabled= false;

name.text='';

nameValidator.enabled= true;
}

This works fine when the user has input some text in name field and 
then resets it. But when user clicks reset without having entered in 
textinput, it shows the red outline with the error message on that 
field. I have pasted code above for just one field, obviously I have 
many other fields in the form.

Please advise how to successfully reset form, no matter if the user 
has input text in field or not. 

Regards
Husain

[flexcoders] Bug??? Re: Loading multiple swfs crashing browser

Take a peek...maybe it's something obvious.

Re: [flexcoders] DataBinding Vs. Procedural Model Updates

2006-11-26 Thread Ralf Bokelberg


I guess that binding is more efficient, because it updates only the
properties, which change, while updateModel always updates everything.

Cheers,
Ralf.

On 11/26/06, Steve Hindle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


  Hi All,

Anyone know the performance implications of using databinding to
update a model vs an 'updateModel()' type call?

I can use basic databinding to bind a form to the model
(source="{foo.customer_name}") and databinding calls to bind
foo.customer_name back to the form control (so your model is updated
everytime a form field is updated). This has the advantage that your
model is always up to date with respect to the form - no extra
processing required.

I could also just use the basic databinding to bind the form controls
to the model, and an UpdateModel(m:Model) call to grab the contents of
all the fields and shove them back into the model. This requires an
extra function call to 'sync' the model with the form, but skips all
the event handling (for instance, if you update the 'customer_name'
control 3 times, you only update the model once at the end)

Anyone know how much of a load data binding/event processing puts on
the system with a moderately complicated app? I'm figuring 10-20
tables of 20-40 fields each. This is for a data entry app, so users
will be in all parts of the app all day long. Should I be looking at
un-binding models when they are not used/active (ie, if you switch
from clients to vendors, should I unbind the fields on the 'clients'
model ?)

Hi,

I'm currently searching for info about this topic. Could someone provide
some links about how FDS and Hibernate work thogether in this issue?

Thanks.

Lazy Loading probably isn't going to help you.

You probably want to consider doing an intermediate class between any
many-to-many associations in hibernate so you have two many-to-one

Hi All,

And it works. Kind of.

It's fairly easy to see what the problem is. Here's a picture of the
variable window that depicts the situation in all its glory:

http://www.brightworks.com/technology/tech_questions/hibernate_lazy_associations/deeply_nested_actors_and_films.jpg

Beautiful, isn't it?? :-)

In other words, every actor references all films that the actor is in...

And each of these films references all actors in the film...

And each of these actors references all films that the actor is in...

And each of these films references all actors in the film...

Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

I wonder how many levels deep this goes? The program doesn't hang so I
assume that Flex puts a stop to it at some point...

Could one of the Hibernate gurus that inhabits this list point me in the
correct direction?

The DB's schema is outlined here:

http://www.brightworks.com/technology/tech_questions/hibernate_lazy_associations/index.html

And all relevant code, plus my latest error message, is here:

http://www.brightworks.com/technology/tech_questions/hibernate_lazy_associations/code.txt

I assume that my problem is in data-management-config.xml, but I'm new
to all of this and could be doing other things wrong as well.

TIA!
