RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Charting dynamic backgroundElements
Hi Ely, thank you for your detailed answer and the code examples. This was not exactly what I am looking for but gave me the hints to solve my problem. The key is that your backgroundElement extends ChartingElement. But now I have got the problem that the backgroundElement is in front of the PlotChart lines. How can I swap them? Again thanks a lot, Sönke _ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ely Greenfield Sent: Monday, November 20, 2006 7:15 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Charting dynamic backgroundElements Hi Sonke (sorry, can't figure out how to type an umlaud (sp?) on an American keyboard ): It sounds like your problem is a prime candidate for a custom background element. If your shapes depend on the min max of the axes, that probably means you want to annotate/illustrate a particular data value/range, yes? Any time you're trying to draw data values, you should really be creating a chart element (that's pretty much what they're there for). That means a series, a backgroundElement, or an annotationElement. I've attached a simple example of a custom background element that takes a series of data values and draws matching bands in the background. It should give you a starting point for what you're trying to do.

The size/position of the shapes and lines depends on the minimum and maximum of the horizontal and vertical linear axis. My first try was to use the backgroundElements to solve this problem. I created a shape, drawed a polygon on it and added it to the backgroundElements: var shape:Shape = new Shape(); var gr:Graphics = shape.graphics; gr.moveTo(0, 20); gr.beginFill(0xFF9900, 50); gr.lineTo(0, 0); gr.lineTo(100, 0); gr.lineTo(100, 100); gr.lineTo(0, 20); gr.endFill(); backgroundElements.reverse(); backgroundElements.push( shape ); I reversed the array to keep the GridLines in the front. The polygon is visible in the background but it is scaled to fit the size of the PlotChart. The shape has to keep its scaling. How do I know the width/height of the PlotChart content area? With this information and the min/max of the x/y axis I am able to do the drawing. Any hint is very appreciated. Cheers, Sönke

RE: [flexcoders] lastResult.records.record.length=null when there's actually 1
When a result contains only 1 object Flex converts it to an Object not an ArrayCollection. Therefore your myListRequest.lastResult.records.record is an object and won't have the .length property. When you receive more than 1 record it will be an ArrayCollection of objects. You'll need to check the type of myListRequest.lastResult.records.record before you do any work with it.

Re: [flexcoders] Panel Title Embedded Font
I tried this it seems to work. If you want bold you'll have to embed a bold

you can create the same font name with both bold as well as normal font and
it will take.

Look at ArrayUtil.toArray method that trasforms an object to an array.

ArrayUtil.toArray(myListRequest. lastResult. records.record) );

Re: [flexcoders] Newie : calling a function when setting selected index
I ran into the same issue a while back, but it's actually expected
functionality. The change event is only triggered upon user interaction,
not scripting.
Matt Chotin's reply was:
---
The valueCommit event will fire in this case, change is only when it was
user-interaction that caused the selection, not programmatic changes.
---
I didn't want to have two separate event handlers to handle each of these
events, so I manually dispatched an event from the datagrid.
Here is an example of working code. The special line of code is the one
after

Right now I just remove the xml namespace by converting the xml to a string and then just replace xmlns:xml. Is there a more elegant way to do it or am i missing something? thanks, Markus
RE: [flexcoders] Bit Off topic: Microsoft Vista VS Apollo/Flex/Flash
FYI, Apollo will have application signing From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John C. Bland II Sent: Sunday, November 26, 2006 8:43 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Bit Off topic: Microsoft Vista VS Apollo/Flex/Flash 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.

[flexcoders] EventDispatching Listening
I'm using bubbling, or at least i think i am to capture an event...
I've extended the event class to make my own event mechanism. the
events are being dispatched, however the problem is, that
I'm adding an event listener to my custom mxml component to receive
the events and nothing happens. I've probably got something
backwards... Doesn't bubbling set to true allow the event
to be captured by any component in the order that they are created?
my code is as follows:
var evt:MeEvent = new MeEvent(MeEvent.REMOTE,true);
dispatchEvent(evt);
---
package com.me
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class MeEvent extends Event
{
public static const REMOTE:String = remote;
public var realTarget:*;
public function MeEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean=true,
cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}
}
--
And inside my custom component this is the event listener.
private function init():void{
this.addEventListener(MeEvent.REMOTE, handleEvent);
}

Re: [flexcoders] 3 questions: Context menu, graphing component and XmlRpc
With the context menu example you gave below, it would be easy enough to
replicate the functionality. Most of the trickery is in the HTML of the page
the swf is hosted in, intercepting the right mouse click and executing a
function in the swf. I'm not sure how stable the JS code is, and if it
supports all browsers - might want to test/tweak this.
function onNsRightClick(e){
if(e.which == 3){
Test9.openRightClick();
e.stopPropagation();
}
return false;
}
function onIeRightClick(e){
if(event.button 1){
Test9.openRightClick();
parent.frames.location.replace('javascript: parent.falseframe');
}
return false;
}
If you look further down the HTML source, you'll find that Test9 is the name
of the Flash movie being embedded. So obviously, in those functions listed
above, you would just have a function in the swf that responds to
openRightClick() and shows your menu. It won't work in the same fashion as
the current context menu, you'd have to customise that a bit.
I was wondering how something like this could be done a while back, so
thanks for the example. If I end up writing the code before you do, I'll
share it, but you'll prob need it before then.
Cheers,
Adam

Subject: [flexcoders] 3 questions: Context menu, graphing component and
XmlRpc
Hi all,
I am new to Flex 2, and I have looked for answers to these
but haven't found much. Here they are:
1. Context menu (right-click) - I am looking for a way to
kill the actual flash context menu and have my own. Kind of
like the one shown at
http://www.flex-flex.net/flex/RightClickMenu/RightClick.html, but of
course :) there's no right-click show source code. It is discussed at
http://www.flex-flex.net/blog/article.asp?id=12, but only says code
later, and comments are full of spam (I guess I am just showing that
I've done some homework here).
2. Open-source graph component - by this I mean not graphs like pie
charts, but creation of graphs with nodes, edges, layouts (ideally -
drag/drop/snapping support). I've only dug out
http://mark-shepherd.com/blog/springgraph-flex-component/, but this is
a bit too much (plus it's non-directional). I guess it's worth
hacking if I don't dig up something more along the lines of
http://www.mxgraph.com/pages/en/index.html.
3. Finally, for an XmlRpc way to talk to the server (I already have a
server that serves that:). I've been able to find
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlrpcflash and
http://probertson.com/projects/xmlrpc/, both for AS 2.0. I am guessing
it shouldn't be hard to make it work with 3.0, but which one would
you recommend?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: adding Bitmap to a container
as you have said, you can't add a bitmap to a container, if the class
doesn't implement UICompoenent. You can the bitmap to a UIComponent which
can be added to a Container. Also, you can do directly draw the bitmap on
the container using Graphics.beginBitmapFill(), but this creates a fair a
amount of limitations on what you can (easily) do with the bitmap after it
has been added so that might not be the right approach.
The documentation is correct that you can add DisplayObjects to
DisplayObjectContainers, but Container overrides addChild/addChildAt so that
it will only accept a UIComponents. So the documentation is correct, but a
little confusing in this respect.

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?

[flexcoders] Problems binding the event.result to an object
Hi,
I'm still getting use to Flex, and I'm having a bit of trouble Binding
the results of an event to a Object.
I have a AS page called Stafftbluser.as, which represents a CFC of
mine called tblUserBean.cfc.
I also have a function which gets the details of a user from a
RemoteObject call and then should bind the results to a object of type
Stafftbluser, but when I display the even.result in an Alert (using
Alert.show()) I can see the returned results, but in the object I'm
binding to when I display this in a Alert it is null.
I'm first creating a Stafftbluser object, like this:
private function initComponent():void
{
this.detailObject = new StafftblUser();
}
Then in my result handler I'm trying to set the event.result to a
variable which I then set to this.detailObject.
private function get_result(event:ResultEvent):void
{
Alert.show( event + ObjectUtil.toString(event.result) );
var detail = event.result as StafftblUser;
Alert.show( Detail + ObjectUtil.toString(detailObject) );
this.detailObject = detail;
}
Then in a form in my Flex page I'm trying to bind the properties of
detailObject:
mx:FormItem width=100% label=Firstname required=true
cfComponents:TextInputMask
id=tblUser_Firstname
text={this.detailObject.Firstname}
width=100%
/
/mx:FormItem
Some of this was written using the CF/Flex application wizard, but I
think this have complicated things.
So what's the easiest and quickest way to bind results from a
RemoteObject call to a ActionScript class and display the results?
Thanks

[flexcoders] Major bug: External interface doesn't work when inside form
Hi all,
I've spent most of the day trying to track down a nasty bug with Flex
(or Flash) in ASP.NET. I've not yet tried in Firefox, but it's present
in IE6 and IE7.
ASP.NET wraps pretty much the entire page in form/form tags.
Unfortunately, either Flex or the Flashplayer includes javascript that
relies on the movie not being inside forms, when you use
ExternalInterface.
Eg.
Create a new flex project like this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute creationComplete=initApp();
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public function initApp():void
{
// Add interface so
Javascript can call our setData method
ExternalInterface.addCallback(setData, setData);
}
public function
setData(sXml:String):void
{
// Do nothing
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
It simply registers a method than be called in javascript. If you run
this, you'll just get a blank flex app. Now open the index.template.html
file, and add form tags immediately inside the body tag:
body
form
// rest of page //
/form
/body
Now try running it again. You'll get a javascript error to the effect of
'FormTestProject' is undefined. It comes from this code (I don't know
if this comes form Flex or the FP) which gets loaded into the document:
function __flash_unloadHandler() {
FormTestProject.style.display = 'none';
// Snip
}
Note that FormTestProject is not wrapped in document.getElementById().
This seems to work by fluke when the object is in the main page, but
when inside a form, it doesn't.
I can't find anyone else having this issue on flexcoders (though
searching for form returns anything containing formatting, etc.
etc.!), which kinda surprises me, given it's a big show stopper for
anyone using asp.net and ExternalInterface.
Anyone else hit this problem? Any workarounds?
Thanks,
Danny

[flexcoders] Re: Major bug: External interface doesn't work when inside form- WORKAROUND
Here's a workaround. Just before the /script tag, define a page-level
variable with the expected name, that references the actual object. I've
not tested this well, but at first glance, it seems to work.
var ${application} = document.getElementById('${application}');
If you're using SWFObject (like us), you put it just after the .write()
code:
var so = new SWFObject('Flash/DashboardRadarChart.swf', 'radarChart',
700, 350, 9, '#FF');
so.write('flashWrapper');
var radarChart = document.getElementById('radarChart');
If there's a bug tracker or somewhere I can raise this, let me know and
I'll go file it.

RE: [flexcoders] Problems binding the event.result to an object
Stephen,
If you are returning a CFQuery I find it easy to type it as an
ArrayCollection. Flex is case sensitive, and more than likely your
event.result should be all caps for the field name (
this.detailObject.FIRSTNAME ).
You can verify this by setting a breakpoint in your function where
assign your event.result to your detailObject and look at the variables.
If you have an empty event.result, then it's a communication issue with
the server.
Brian..

Subject: [flexcoders] Problems binding the event.result to an object
Hi,
I'm still getting use to Flex, and I'm having a bit of trouble Binding
the results of an event to a Object.
I have a AS page called Stafftbluser.as, which represents a CFC of mine
called tblUserBean.cfc.
I also have a function which gets the details of a user from a
RemoteObject call and then should bind the results to a object of type
Stafftbluser, but when I display the even.result in an Alert (using
Alert.show()) I can see the returned results, but in the object I'm
binding to when I display this in a Alert it is null.
I'm first creating a Stafftbluser object, like this:
private function initComponent():void
{
this.detailObject = new StafftblUser(); }
Then in my result handler I'm trying to set the event.result to a
variable which I then set to this.detailObject.
private function get_result(event:ResultEvent):void
{
Alert.show( event + ObjectUtil.toString(event.result) );
var detail = event.result as StafftblUser;
Alert.show( Detail + ObjectUtil.toString(detailObject) );
this.detailObject = detail;
}
Then in a form in my Flex page I'm trying to bind the properties of
detailObject:
mx:FormItem width=100% label=Firstname required=true
cfComponents:TextInputMask
id=tblUser_Firstname
text={this.detailObject.Firstname}
width=100%
/
/mx:FormItem
Some of this was written using the CF/Flex application wizard, but I
think this have complicated things.
So what's the easiest and quickest way to bind results from a
RemoteObject call to a ActionScript class and display the results?
Thanks
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
you pretty much have it. Steps 1 and 2 can be done in any order. You
can do your Flex layout first if you want and then write your CF code
or vice versa, that part doesn't really matter.
I'm not sure what your trying to bind your data to but say you had a
datagrid that you wanted to populate from data returned from a CFC.
There are several ways to do this but the easiest way I found is to
use a mx:RemoteObject tag with your method name and a result to
return your data to:
mx:RemoteObject method=myMethod result=myMethodResult(event)
fault=Alert.show(event.fault.message) /
Now you can either pass arguments into that RemoteObject or just
call it as is.
In your ActionScript code you need to have your results method to
populate your grid. First you need to declare a Bindable variable so
that your grid has something to bind to.
[Bindable] public var myResult:Object;
public function myMethodResult(event:ResultEvent):void {
myResult = event.result;
}
One warning I would give is- if you need to do any type of Array
functions this method will not allow that. You would need to either
use the mx:ArrayCollection to convert it to an ArrayCollection or
return your query results as an array and set your variable to an
ArrayCollection datatype.
Now to populate your datagrid you would just do:
mx:DataGrid dataProvider={myResult}
mx:columns
mx:Array
mx:DataGridColumn
headerText=Column1 dataField=column1/
mx:DataGridColumn
headerText=Column 2 dataField=column2/
mx:DataGridColumn
headerText=Column 3 dataField=column2/
/mx:Array
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
This way may not be best practice but to get you up and running this
should help. If you need anymore help just let me know.

Hi,
I'm trying to get my head around using Flex with ColdFusion, but I'm
really getting stuck with how Flex works with CF.
I'm trying to create a application which has several forms in which
the user enters, save and update user details, simple stuff really. I
can create the CF code (using DAO's, gateways and Beans. But linking
the methods in my CF to Flex is melting my brain. Every example I've
seen says it easy, and then uses tons of ActionScript, which I get
lost in.
SO what's the basic steps in linking CF and Flex, are they:
Create your CF code (DAO's, Bean's and Gateways)
Create your flex layout
Call the CF Gateway using mx:RemoteObject
Then link the results of the methods to the layout (this is the bit
I'm lost at, passing data back and forth to CF methods)
Any help will be great and stop me running down the road screaming.

[flexcoders] Problems with a DateField as an itemRenderer/editor
I'm having an issue with DataGridEvent (onItemEnd) and the DateField class. Basically, I've developed a framework that uses onItemEnd from the datagrid. I have components like the combobox for example... onChange calls onItemEnd which takes the data of the combobox and puts it in the dataField of the datagrid, then makes a service call to update to the database. I've gotten this to work great with many components but the dateField I'm having a horrible time with. when I dispatchEvent (onitemend) for example, I use event.currentTarget.editedItemRenderer to get the value from event.target.itemEditorInstance. Which both don't exist when I dispatchEvent from the calendar select date (onClose) event handler. This works when I have the dateField as an Editor only and using the default renderer. This is an issue becuase it creates another click for the user. I think the root of my problem is that when you click on the datefield to open the calendar, it doesn't invoke it as an editor in the datagrid. Is there a way to force this?

[flexcoders] many-to-many managed association in Hibernate destination
Hi All,
This is essentially a repost of my How to implement Lazy Hibernate?
question.
I'm still completely stuck. Here's the error message I'm getting:
[RPC Fault faultString=Page request made for item with id =
'{filmId=null}'. The item was not in the cache and the adapter's get
method failed to return the item for destination = film.hibernate that
is expected to be in the requested page. faultCode=Server.Processing
faultDetail=null]
Here's the big picture:
I'm attempting to create a Cairngorm/FDMS/Hibernate/MySQL example program.
I have three tables. 'actor' and 'film' have a many-to-many relationship
so they're connected by a link table 'film_actor'.
I've used HibernateTools to create .java and .hbm.xml classes by reverse
engineering the DB. I assume the HibernateTools knows what it is doing
so I'm assuming that the generated code is correct.
And I've successfully implemented .as classes and
data-management-config.xml and displayed data. I can click on an actor
and display the films that s/he's in. This all works through a single
destination that uses my Actor.java class. This uses the 'hierarchical
values' approach to managing hierarchical collections, i.e. just using
the 'actor' destination.
This approach is problematic because there are circular references
between Actor and Film objects. It seems to me that the obvious solution
is lazy loading. I don't see anything in the docs explaining how to do
this with the hierarchical values approach, so I'm attempting to use a
'lazy' managed associations approach. But I get the above error.
Someone who knows FDMS might be able to look at my code and fairly
easily point me in the right direction.
I've zipped up the entire project - plus a .sql file you can use to
create my MySQL DB - and put them up for download:
http://www.brightworks.com/technology/tech_questions/hibernate_lazy_associations/Bw_005.zip
Or, you can just look at the code here:
http://www.brightworks.com/technology/tech_questions/hibernate_lazy_associations/code.txt

[flexcoders] Flex Builder Debugger behavior + Firefox
Is there a way in eclipse to specify the browser to be used without changing the system default browser? When I set my default browser to IE and debug in flex, stopping the debugger closes the IE window that was opened when the debug session started. In Firefox, the tab remains opened (likely from the TabMixPlus plugin to keep everything in 1 single firefox instance), not a huge PITA really.. but would be nice to get the same effect without having to change the tab behaviors I've also found that if I set my default browser to IE then load Flex Builder, then reset default back to Firefox, Flex builder will still debug in IE, so thats my current work around, but if I could hardcode this somewhere that'd be nice Any ideas?

[flexcoders] role based security vs session based security with a servlet container
I am trying to figure out the best way of implementing security authentication. I am using tomcat, and FDS at the moment for remoting. My server side code is obviously in java. A while back, role base security was recommended as the way to implement security. The idea being that if someone did not have the right credentials that they would be prevented from gaining access to the flex app. But my problem with this is that I want to do my authentication UI *in* flex, so I can't prevent people from getting to it before I have had a chance to authenticate. Another problem with the role based stuff is that, as I understand it, roles are maintained by the container. I am not clear how to use my account database (JDBC/Mysql) in this process. What seems easier to me is using sessions, because I can, from any server side function, request the current session of the given user. I can look to see if their session is valid, how long they have been logged on, etc. And using this methodology, I can do login in the flex application, which just sends a login message to the server, the server adds a record to my session record that indicates that I am logged in and when I logged in. This second approach seems like the best approach and the one that gives me the most flexibility. But I am looking for validation regarding my approach here. Am I doing something wrong here? Are there some reasons that the role based security would be better? Any insight from people better versed in security than I am would be greatly appreciated. Hank
RE: [flexcoders] accessing variables through events
i is a local var of the tracePath() method; it can't be accessed outside
this method, and it doesn't even exist after tracePath() has finished
executing.
What you are trying to do is dynamically create N instances of a
UIComponent, and when you click one of them, you want to know whether it
is the 1st, 2nd, ... one that you created. (Actually, I suspect that
what you really want to get when you click is the 'results' data,
because otherwise I don't know why you calculated it.)
The best way to do this is to write a trivial subclass of UIComponent
which can store 'i' and/or 'results' as an instance var of each
UIComponent that you create:
public class MyComponent extends UIComponent
{
public class MyComponent()
{
super();
}
public var i:int;
public var results:XMLList;
}
Inside tracePath(), create instances of MyComponent and set 'i' and/or
'results' on each one:
var myUIComponent:MyComponent = new MyComponent();
myUIComponent.i = i;
myUIComponent.results = results;
myUIComponent.graphics...
Then inside mouseClickHandler() you can access 'i' and 'results' as
event.currentTarget.i and event.currentTarget.results. You can't access
them as this.i and this.results because 'this' is always whatever
component or application your mx:Script is inside of; it isn't the
object that dispatched or listened to the MouseEvent.
BTW, you could probably accomplish of all this more easily by using the
mx:Repeater tag, but that's another topic.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Hands-on charts
Yup. To do mouse tracking, you generally need a mouse down, mouse move,
and mouse up handler. Almost all of my code that does mouse tracking
looks like this:
someComponent mouseDown=startTracking(event); /
private function startTracking(e:MouseEvent):void
{
// listen to the systemManager so we get mouse move/up events even
when the mouse moves outside the component.
// listen on capture so we can cancel move/rollover events going to
other components.
systemManager.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,track,true);
systemManager.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,endTracking,true);
track(e);
}
private function track(e:MouseEvent):void
{
// update your data/UI here.
}
private function endTracking(e:MouseEvent):void
{
track(e);
// remove the event listeners until we need to track again.
systemManager.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,track,true);
systemManager.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,endTracking,true);

Flex charts work beautifully responding to dynamic changes in data.
Using the current components, is there any way to use Flex charts to
change data?
As a conceptual model, I'm thinking of the way parametric equalizers
work in some audio programs, where it's possible to drag nodes on a
line
graph vertically or horizontally to change the parametric data.

Re: [flexcoders] To Adobe - new release improvements??

They say it's not a major release but for me, the inclusion of the mx:module support/framework is one big help... think of the capability of 'breaking apart' your big apps into modular ones which the user will only have to download once on demand - all that while having the framework take care of most of the communication between the modules and the shell application or other modules. On top of that, you can still leverage on using RSL's, externs, fzip and any other file size/download time management methods adn tehcniques. And oh yeah, they have several bugs fixed already.

Here's the big picture:
I'm attempting to create a Cairngorm/FDMS/Hibernate/MySQL example program.
I have three tables. 'actor' and 'film' have a many-to-many relationship
so they're connected by a link table 'film_actor'.
I've used HibernateTools to create .java and .hbm.xml classes by reverse
engineering the DB. I assume the HibernateTools knows what it is doing
so I'm assuming that the generated code is correct.
And I've successfully implemented .as classes and
data-management-config.xml and displayed data. I can click on an actor
and display the films that s/he's in. This all works through a single
destination that uses my Actor.java class. This uses the 'hierarchical
values' approach to managing hierarchical collections, i.e. just using
the 'actor' destination.
This approach is problematic because there are circular references
between Actor and Film objects. It seems to me that the obvious solution
is lazy loading. I don't see anything in the docs explaining how to do
this with the hierarchical values approach, so I'm attempting to use a
'lazy' managed associations approach. But I get the above error.
Someone who knows FDMS might be able to look at my code and fairly
easily point me in the right direction.
I've zipped up the entire project - plus a .sql file you can use to
create my MySQL DB - and put them up for download:

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Charting dynamic backgroundElements
You mean it's in front of the gridlines? The gridlines that appear in charts by default is really just another backgroundElement. by default, each chart creates a single instance of the mx.charts.GridLines class, and inserts it into the backgroundElements array. If you set your own background elements, you end up overriding the default. But if you still want Gridlines, you can explicitly create your own gridlines instance in the backgroundElements: ColumnChart backgroundElements MyCustomBackgroundElement / Gridlines ... / /backgroundElements ... You can put it in front or behind your other background elements by changing the order in the array (i.e., in the MXML). Ely.

That's correct. This is a well known issue. The problem is that certain browser won't allow the plugin to access the returned content when the http status code is 500 - a requirement for web service faults. You can work around this by suppressing the 500 and changing it to a 200. What are your web services implemented in? If Java, I can send some classes and web.xml config to work around this changing the http status code to 200 only when invoked by the flash player.

[flexcoders] FDS - possible bug???
Hello, everyone
I am using FDS Java Adapter and Assembler approach. I am currently in
the process of making fill() methods more smart and started playing
with autoRefreshFill() and refreshFill() methods. I have discovered
the following issue
Looks like autoRefreshFill() not being executed.
@Override
public boolean autoRefreshFill(List params)
{
System.out.println( auto refresh fill: + params);
return super.autoRefreshFill(params);
}
refreshFill(List params, Object item, boolean isCreate)
{
int res;
...
System.out.println(refresh fill: + params);
return res;
}
The above snippet generates no output in regards to autoRefreshFill to
the console whenever I add/remove/update items to the DS while
refresh fill messages do show up. Therefore I can conclude that my
implementation of autoRefreshFill is never called.
Am I missing something?

Tom,
I'm not sure if you are stuck on using charts to do this, but I think
I accomplished a similar effect to what you want a while back by using
the graphics package to draw a rectangle around a slider. I listened
for slider events and would then clear and re-run the drawRect on each
move. It was very little code and the effect was quite seamless.

Subject: [flexcoders] Hands-on charts
Flex charts work beautifully responding to dynamic changes in data.
Using the current components, is there any way to use Flex charts to
change data?
As a conceptual model, I'm thinking of the way parametric equalizers
work in some audio programs, where it's possible to drag nodes on a
line
graph vertically or horizontally to change the parametric data.

[flexcoders] Populating Form with Many-to-Many Relationship Data?
Hi all,
I'm pretty sure that any answers for this one will help a lot of people,
since the basis of it crosses many complex business applications.
I have existing CF apps (Purchase Requests, Travel Requests, Request
Approvals, etc.) that contain many-to-many relationships, such as PR
Number Charge Strings Item/Costs, wherein the PR contains one or
more charge strings, and each charge string can have one or more items.
I am prototyping Flex versions, but I have come across a little (ha) bit
of a situation where I am not sure of the best method to proceed. I
have a actionscript form for creating a _new_ request, allowing the user
to add charge strings and associated items dynamically (stripped version
included below in case someone needs/wants to see how I did this).
Textually, a request being updated might look like this:
Request 1001
Charge String 1: CS: (combobox)
Item 1: Type (combobox) Cost (Number)...etc.
Item 2: Type (combobox) Cost (Number)...etc.
Item 3: Type (combobox) Cost (Number)...etc.
Charge String 2: (combobox)
Item 1: Type (combobox) Cost (Number)...etc.
Item 2: Type (combobox) Cost (Number)...etc.
Charge String 3: (combobox)
Item 1: Type (combobox) Cost (Number)...etc.
Note that Charge Strings and Items have unique IDs and there is a
relation between items and charge strings as well as items and the request.
However, a request also has to be available for updates, since they can
remain in draft status before being submitted for approvals. The
situation is this: Because of the possible many-to-many relationship
between charge strings and related items within a request, I'm not quite
sure of the best method of populating the form for updates.
Additionally, the user may add, remove or update items or an existing
charge string, and add new charge strings with new items
In CF, I only have to make 1 query to get the primary data I need, and I
can do a nested loop to create the form easily by checking for a change
in the charge string to know when to display the CS combobox and when to
display it's associated items. On update, we archive the old charge
string and item data and insert new rows into SQL Server, rather than
trying to determine which charge strings and/or items were updated.
This is for processing speed and the ability to recreate a request at
any point in time (using version numbers), the latter being necessary
for auditing the approval/rejection history of a request.
I am not sure if looping is the best method to use in Flex --
particularly since the containers are dynamic out of necessity -- nor am
I positive about the manner in which I should do this, in particular the
data population/combobox selected items.
(Btw, I started doing this with components, but actionscript was faster
for me to get it to work...I'll end up going back to that just for code
reuse but I like to see things work first :-)

Re: [flexcoders] Problems with a DateField as an itemRenderer/editor
Is onItemEnd a custom event listener? or do you mean onItemEditEnd? I dont recall having an 'onItemEnd' associated with Datagrid listener in any way.. please correct me if im wrong. When you use a datefield as item renderer or item editor a list control (or any drop-in item renderer/item editor), make sure that the data provider of that list control has a field of type Date (or the expected data type of the drop-in item renderer you used). Since Data Grid is derived from List base, this means it applies to it as well. Have you considered that? --- Louie Penaflor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm having an issue with DataGridEvent (onItemEnd) and the DateField class. Basically, I've developed a framework that uses onItemEnd from the datagrid. I have components like the combobox for example... onChange calls onItemEnd which takes the data of the combobox and puts it in the dataField of the datagrid, then makes a service call to update to the database. I've gotten this to work great with many components but the dateField I'm having a horrible time with. when I dispatchEvent (onitemend) for example, I use event.currentTarget.editedItemRenderer to get the value from event.target.itemEditorInstance. Which both don't exist when I dispatchEvent from the calendar select date (onClose) event handler. This works when I have the dateField as an Editor only and using the default renderer. This is an issue becuase it creates another click for the user. I think the root of my problem is that when you click on the datefield to open the calendar, it doesn't invoke it as an editor in the datagrid. Is there a way to force this?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Binding to a custom method: possible?
I had a similar problem and while somewhat unrelated this may help. I wanted
to set an image inside an itemRenderer (for a Listbox) depending on the data
for the current row. I came up with this, thanks to Tink for the idea:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:HBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; height=22
horizontalAlign=left
verticalAlign=middle horizontalScrollPolicy=off
verticalScrollPolicy=off

![CDATA[
[Bindable]
private var _data:Object;
[Bindable]
private var _imgIcon:String;
[Bindable]
override public function get data():Object
{
return _data;
}
override public function set data( value:Object ):void
{
if (value)
_data = value;
if (_data.gender == male)
{
_imgIcon = assets/male.png;
}
else
{
_imgIcon = assets/female.png;
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Image source={_imgIcon} /
mx:Text text={_data.username} selectable=false fontSize=13
fontWeight=bold/
mx:Spacer width=100% height=100%/
/mx:HBox
Basically I overwrote the setter and getter for data (the data object is
what the itemRenderer feeds off).
Combobox is list based so this approach should work for you.

[flexcoders] Re: waiting for the debugger
You say it sometimes does that? Hmm. I don't know what's happening in your specific case, but I can tell you, in general, how Flex Builder connects to the debugger. When you click Debug, Flex Builder launches your browser, pointing it at the HTML wrapper for the debug version of the app, e.g. C:\MyProject\bin\MyApp-debug.html. Flex Builder then starts listening on a socket, waiting for the Flash Player to contact it. FB waits for two minutes, after which it times out. In your browser, if the debug version of the Flash player is installed, and a debuggable movie (e.g. MyApp-debug.swf) is loaded into it, then the flash player will attempt to connect to the same localhost socket that Flex Builder is listening on. If the flash player can't find something to connect to at that socket, it displays the Where is the debugger dialog. Things that can go wrong: - You might not have the debug version of the Flash player installed. However, please note that before Flex Builder launches your browser, it checks to see what Flash player is installed in your browser. If it's the release version, it warns you. - You might be pointing to a release swf, not a debug swf. Again, Flex Builder warns you about that; but the check for a debug swf is not foolproof, especially if you have customized the html template, or are launching a custom URL. Double-check to make sure the swf you opening is the *-debug one. - Maybe you have some sort of firewall installed that is blocking Flash from connecting to Flex Builder. I did hear one report once of that happening to someone; I think that person was using Zone Alarm. Try opening access to port 7935. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Diego Guebel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi there, I'm just wondering why when I try to debug my app sometimes it takes a while trying to reach to debug player, saying: waiting for flash player to connect to debugger and then it fires a timeout.

I'm adding an event listener to my custom mxml component to receive
the events and nothing happens. I've probably got something
backwards... Doesn't bubbling set to true allow the event
to be captured by any component in the order that they are created?
my code is as follows:
var evt:MeEvent = new MeEvent(MeEvent.REMOTE,true);
dispatchEvent(evt);

Subject: [flexcoders] Hands-on charts
Flex charts work beautifully responding to dynamic changes in data.
Using the current components, is there any way to use Flex charts to
change data?
As a conceptual model, I'm thinking of the way parametric equalizers
work in some audio programs, where it's possible to drag nodes on a
line
graph vertically or horizontally to change the
RE: [flexcoders] accessing variables through events
Thank you Gordon,
That worked great. I guess I wasnt too clear on what I wanted but you
nailed it. I was trying to add myUIComponent.i = i without extending the
UIComponent in a subclass. I came to the same conclusion by appending the
vars to an existing property already there and realized I had to do it
your way. I was doing this at one point myUIComponent.name = i.toString();
and I could see it coming back.
Thanks you so much.. saved me many more hours of foolishness.

i is a local var of the tracePath() method; it can't be accessed outside
this method, and it doesn't even exist after tracePath() has finished
executing.
What you are trying to do is dynamically create N instances of a
UIComponent, and when you click one of them, you want to know whether it
is the 1st, 2nd, ... one that you created. (Actually, I suspect that
what you really want to get when you click is the 'results' data,
because otherwise I don't know why you calculated it.)
The best way to do this is to write a trivial subclass of UIComponent
which can store 'i' and/or 'results' as an instance var of each
UIComponent that you create:
public class MyComponent extends UIComponent
{
public class MyComponent()
{
super();
}
public var i:int;
public var results:XMLList;
}
Inside tracePath(), create instances of MyComponent and set 'i' and/or
'results' on each one:
var myUIComponent:MyComponent = new MyComponent();
myUIComponent.i = i;
myUIComponent.results = results;
myUIComponent.graphics...
Then inside mouseClickHandler() you can access 'i' and 'results' as
event.currentTarget.i and event.currentTarget.results. You can't access
them as this.i and this.results because 'this' is always whatever
component or application your mx:Script is inside of; it isn't the
object that dispatched or listened to the MouseEvent.
BTW, you could probably accomplish of all this more easily by using the
mx:Repeater tag, but that's another topic.

Subject: [flexcoders] accessing variables through events
Quick question regarding accessing variables.
I have the following code
public function tracePath():void {
for (var i:int = 0; i photoFeed.menu.submenu.length(); i++) {
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED])
var results:XMLList =
[EMAIL PROTECTED];
trace(results);
trace (i);
var myUIComponent:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
myUIComponent.graphics.beginFill(0xFFCC00);
myUIComponent.graphics.drawCircle(60*i, 30, 30);
myUIComponent.buttonMode = true;
myUIComponent.useHandCursor = true;
myUIComponent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
mouseClickHandler);
this.addChild(myUIComponent);
}
trace(photoFeed.menu.submenu.length() +hello);
}
and I access using this function
public function mouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
trace(this.i);
}
My question is... how do I access the i variable from within the
mouseClickHandler() function
so I could find out certain properties. The above code does not seem to
find the i based on the dynamically created component.
I really want to be able to find out the list collection based on click.

[flexcoders] Re: Data binding nested data -- UPDATED
All,
I came up with alternative to using a label function.
Use an inline itemRenderer:
then reference it as data.name.first where data is the
dataprovider's list item.
Note: To reference the the selected item;
use: myGrid.selectedItem.name.first
eg:
mx:TextArea x=10 y=302 width=289 height=89
text={myGrid.selectedItem.name.first}/
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:Text text={data.name.first}/

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.

There are definitely some cool things about it, but I, for instance, don't like the incoherent (but nice) interface and I fail to understand how to build RIA using old timeline concept.

[flexcoders] Datefield maxYear behavior Verification
I have observed (both in Flex version 2 and 2.01 PreRealease) that on a datefield (and probably datechooser control too) with navigateYear set to enabled, if the maxYear was set to the selectedDate's Year, the set maxYear value seems to be nullified. i.e., selected date is January 1, 2006, and for some reason maxYear is set to 2006, you can then navigate beyond 2006 using the year navigation arrows. However, if you set the maxYear to 2007 (or any year after 2006), maxYear does it's job fine and so you cant navigate beyond 2007. This will help a lot in the date interval component I am creating from 2 datefields since I have to programmatically set the maxYear of the 'From' datefield to be equal to the year of 'To' datefield's selectedDate whenever a new To date is selected (and vice versa when a new 'From' date is selected. The strange maxYear behavior gets in the way of implementing that functionality most especially if the initial values of the two dates fall within the same year. Can you guys verify of this behavior is true to your copies of Flex? If it is, then I should probably file a bug. THnx! Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] Problems with a DateField as an itemRenderer/editor
You are correct. It is itemEditEnd. I was just in a rush. As for the issue, the date is populating right. It's when I select a date from the calendar. When you select a date, I dispatch the DataGridEvent itemEditEnd. This even should have Event.currentTarget.editedItemRenderer and event.target.itemEditorInstance, which are both returning null. This points out to me that when you click or the DateField that opens up the calendar, it's not focusing into the datagrid as an editor. I'm wondering how I can invoke this manually?
