[flexcoders] Caingorm model1...amfphp remoting

[{reduxdj}]

I hear that model 1 is a great solution for simple data structures where 
all components can register with a dataprovider class...  Does anyone 
have the link handy on this specific model & info over on the labs?

 Is caingorm named after a mountain by the way?

Thanks,

I searched through help, there's nothing specific mentioning overriding 
a method to stop a resize event. 
You have to figure that I'm learning so I need examples to see these work.

Re: [flexcoders] ...UITextField - Setting styleName property doesn't work, or i don't know how use it.

[{reduxdj}]

I tried this approach, but using styleName does not give me the expected 
results...
You can use styleName on Text's they work fine but not on UITextField, 
although it
says it's a property of the UITextfield... who knows I'm relatively new 
at flex and swimming up stream
all the time?

This is the only way I know how to style the UITextField, with the 
TextFormatter class...
However the edges look pixelated...   (I'm sure there's a solution for 
this too)


var formatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
formatter.bold = true;
formatter.color = "0xff";
formatter.font = "arial";
formatter.size = "20";
percent.setTextFormat(formatter);
   


I have had no other issues with Text or TextArea, with using styleName 
property with a stytlesheet declaration before.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Styling in Flex is officially ridiculous

[Lance Linder]

I know everyone doesn't have the same needs but we have used HTML text
in flash ever since it was supported. The framework in Flex as well as
the new VM really made this difficult and in the end we had to override
several of the Flex framework classes as well as extend some of the
components to handling this in a global way.

 

I guess what really made this easier for us in the past was the ability
to use the 'prototype' chain to override properties and functions at a
global level for all TextField instances. I know overriding the
prototype chain is a thing of the past and for good reasons but it sure
would be nice if ALL textFields in every component could get a
StyleSheet instance from the StyleManager.

 

My current solution is to over ride the StyleManager with a modified
version that creates a StyleSheet instance from the styles that it
contains. Then I have to go in and extend Text, Label, TextArea etc so
they automatically use the StyleSheet instance from my custom
StyleManager. In this way we don't have to 1. Maintain multiple style
sheets and 2. go around assigning the StyleSheet to every component I
want to use it on which is a huge pain! J

 

It would be nice to see some kind of support for this in the future even
if it was just Text, Label and TextArea that supported it.

 

Thanks!

Lance

We haven't devoted a lot of attention to HTML text in Flex because the
Flash Player's support for HTML is so limited and many Flex developers
find it doesn't meet their needs, Apollo will change that, but it isn't
clear when the Player's HTML support for Flex apps in the browser will
get better.

While in general I've been fairly happy with my ability to style 
flex, one area in which really lacking (and unfortunately for me in a 
key place for my application) is in styling text, especially text 
contained in an htmlText element.

Despite reading the docs 5 times now, I remain unable to style a 
simple anchor tag (. "A" as a type selector doesn't work, 
but neither do a:link, a:hover, or a:active which the docs say should 
work. Why the A tag doesn't simply support styleName as an attribute 
(or class="" or style="") is a complete mind bender to me. Why 
htmlText doesn't support  is equally puzzling.

Also, is it just me or are many of the css property names different, 
eg font-family vs fontFamily, etc. And what about shorthand syntax, 
eg "border: 1x dotted black."

I realize and accept as necessary and good the need to support a 
limited set of HTML tags but don't understand why standard and 
rigorous text styling is so out of reach. This in fact would be one 
of my top wish list items for future releases.

Meantime, if anyone has any tips on styling text now, I'm all ears =)

[flexcoders] Pan/Scroll chart effect

[Dana Gutride]

Hi,

I've been trying some panning effects with a chart and I've had some success
following the example here:
http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/charts/interactive-bubble-chart.  I'm
having trouble doing a couple of things and hopefully I can get a few ideas.

My data covers 24 hours, I've added a linkbar up top and I'd like to show 3,
6, 12 or 24 hours at once but allow the user to pan left or right through
the rest of the data for that day.  Any ideas on how to set the min/max for
the data displayed and also how should I change the chart to reflect those
time constraints while still allowing for panning left and right?

Thanks for any help,
Dana

Hi Matt,

That's great. We are just about to deploy a possibly high traffic

Info cribbed from the Labs page:

The Flex Data Services Stress Testing Framework helps Flex developers
using Flex Data Services load test their Flex 2 applications. Flex Data
Services offers a number of data transport channels for communicating
between a Flex client and the Flex Data Services server. These channels
include RTMP(s), AMF(s) and HTTP(s). Most commercial load testing tools
rely on data being sent over HTTP and less performing implementations of
the AMF protocol (usually AMF0). Flex Data Services enables developers
to leverage HTTP in addition to the latest and highest performing
version of AMF (AMF3) and data push with RTMP. As most load testing tool
vendors have not yet released support for RTMP(s) or the latest version
of AMF(s), the Flex Data Services Stress Testing Framework allows Flex
developers to load test their applications that use RTMP and AMF3
without needing to use a commercial testing tool.

Adobe is currently working with a number of testing tool vendors to
implement all of the data transport protocols available in Flash. In
addition to partnering with testing tool vendors, we are providing the
following load testing framework to enable Flex Data Services developers
to load test their applications. The Flex Data Services Stress Testing
Framework is currently in beta form, but available for testing and
evaluation. Please download and test the framework and provide us your
feedback.

Re: [flexcoders] uploading an object

Thanks Mike!

I was trying to avoid using remoting, since I'm not using it anywhere 
else in my application (yet).

Basically, I have a file upload to upload your picture, and I wanted to 
have a webcam snapshot option, that posted to the same existing backend 
piece. Doesn't sound like that is currently easy/possible.

I'll look at the FMS solution though, as I am already using that elsewhere.

RE: [flexcoders] services-config with multiple endpoints

[Shahlavi, Farid \(NIH/NLM\) [C]]

You can create channels dynamically via actionscript like below:

 











 

This example is using the canned "Coldfusion" destination that comes
with services-config file. You can use FlashVars to pass whatever uri
you want based on your environment. This way you don't have to use the
services argument in the compiler either.

Let me get this clear. If I understand correctly you're passing an AS

Is this correct?

[flexcoders] Need suggestions to efficiently initialize a set of tightly coupled faceless components.

[Tracy Spratt]

I have a set of faceless, data manipulation components, all of which
need a direct reference to one or more of the others.  They are
instanitated using mxml. All are top level, with a unique id.

Maintainability, readability, extensibility, reusability, etc are not
issues in this situation, but simplicity and efficiency is paramount.

I've found the simply binding them together is not successful because of
timing issues. For example, in the following, the "Parameter" object's
value property is just a pass through to the LEValue component.  But
when this initializes, the LEValue object is not yet instantiated when
the Parameter "set value" attempts to reference it.

  
  

I can make this work several ways, but since I am starting almost from
scratch (migrating a 1.5 framework), I'd like to do it "cleanly".

Any suggestions, at any level of generality, will be welcome.

Tracy

Re: [flexcoders] Synchronised TextArea selection

Option 1: if you add the event listener to the

Option 2 (maybe):  can use textArea.selectionBeginIndex/selectionEndIndex as
a source in a binding to a function that sets the selection of the other

Anyone have any bright ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] Embed or Load PDF File

[Darron J. Schall]

If you would decide to take this approach, consider the recent articles 
I've published on my weblog about FlashPaper and Flex 2 integration:

How to load FlashPaper Documents in Flex 2 - 
http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000249.cfm
Batch Convert PDF files to FlashPaper 2 - 
http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000250.cfm

By converting the PDF to FlashPaper, you can load the FlashPaper 
equivalent of the PDF report inside of a container in Flex 2.  It's not 
exactly a trivial process, but it works well enough for my use cases so far.

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay Help

[John Duff]

Hoping  someone out there will be able to help me with this.

The VideoDisplay component uses a VideoPlayer object, which doesn't
seem to exist in Actionscript 3. How can it be used in the
VideoDisplay component, and how can I use it? I am writing an app and
want to have the ability to play a flv frame by fram, or jsut to a
frame and know the current frame. All of this funtionality is provided
by the VideoPlayer object, but can't be used in Actionscript 3.

When I finally figured out that the calss didn't actually exist
anymore, I started looking for something else and came across the
MovieClip object which provides all the same functionality. Problem is
I can't find anyway to load an flv, I tried using Netstream and such,
adding to a Video object and trying to add that to the MovieClip but
can't seem to make it work. Any Suggestions?

[flexcoders] Re: Set combobox selection to data

[camlinaeizerous]

??? I guess I'll stay away from the rich text editor my post came
through blank. My drop downs are populated form the database as well
as the database query that is decided what drop down index is
selected. The following is the approach I took.

var :IViewCursor = .createCursor();
while(!.afterLast && .current.!= 

.getItemAt(this.selectedRecordIndex).)
{.moveNext();}
if(.current)
{.selectedItem = .current;}
else
{.selectedIndex = -1;}

The else statement combined with a required field validation will
highlight the drop down with the error if for any reason there is a
mismatch. While in most cases this shouldn't happen it is a nice
notification if you need it.

The Adobe Flash Player does not display the range of PDF files handled 
by the free Adobe Reader and other PDF viewers.

Options for similar effects:

  o  Convert PDF to FlashPaper, which can be displayed in Adobe Flash 
Player, although I'm not sure offhand of invocation via Flex's MXML.

  o  Call up the PDF via Adobe Reader in HTML pages in the usual way.

  o  Possibly surround a PDF viewing area by SWF viewing areas, although 
anything with multiple browsers and iframes and such gets too 
dependency-ridden too quickly.

Your Flex 2 creation can invoke other web resources like PDF files, even 
though it may not display it itself.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Styling in Flex is officially ridiculous

[Gordon Smith]

It's possible, but not trivial, to style hyperlinks in HTML text in
Flex. Here is an example:

 



http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="vertical">











 

You must do it through the Flash Player's StyleSheet class; you can't
use . Flex's CSS styles apply to the Flex DOM, while
StyleSheet applies to the HTML DOM.

 

We haven't devoted a lot of attention to HTML text in Flex because the
Flash Player's support for HTML is so limited and many Flex developers
find it doesn't meet their needs, Apollo will change that, but it isn't
clear when the Player's HTML support for Flex apps in the browser will
get better.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Styling in Flex is officially ridiculous

 

While in general I've been fairly happy with my ability to style 
flex, one area in which really lacking (and unfortunately for me in a 
key place for my application) is in styling text, especially text 
contained in an htmlText element.

Despite reading the docs 5 times now, I remain unable to style a 
simple anchor tag (. "A" as a type selector doesn't work, 
but neither do a:link, a:hover, or a:active which the docs say should 
work. Why the A tag doesn't simply support styleName as an attribute 
(or class="" or style="") is a complete mind bender to me. Why 
htmlText doesn't support  is equally puzzling.

Also, is it just me or are many of the css property names different, 
eg font-family vs fontFamily, etc. And what about shorthand syntax, 
eg "border: 1x dotted black."

I realize and accept as necessary and good the need to support a 
limited set of HTML tags but don't understand why standard and 
rigorous text styling is so out of reach. This in fact would be one 
of my top wish list items for future releases.

Meantime, if anyone has any tips on styling text now, I'm all ears =)

[flexcoders] ways to support multipart/form uploading

[Daryn Nakhuda]

In thinking about the problem people are having with, say, taking a 
camera snapshot and uploading it to a server (without remoting or fms), 
there are two solutions I thought of that would be really helpful, 
although perhaps not trivial to implement. 

I was wondering if anyone has tried the following:

1. extend FileReference so that you can create a pseudo-file that can be 
uploaded using the existing upload mechanism.

example:
 var file:FileReference = new FileReference(mybytearray);
 file.upload();

2. extend URLRequest to do something similar. In this scenario, the 
right way would probably be to create a Multipart class similar to 
URLVariables, but that accepts binary data. Then, extend URLRequest so 
that if  data object is set to a Multipart, it knows to create and send 
the request as a multipart form.
 
This is similar to how URLRequest is already smart enough to deal with 
ByteArrays versus URLVariables in the data object.


What do people think of either of these solutions? Has anyone done it?

RE: [flexcoders] Disclosure triangles

[Gordon Smith]

The framework doesn't provide a disclosure component, although it
probably should.

 

But there's no reason your Button can't use the same skins that the Tree
uses. If you look at the Tree selector in defaults.css, you'll see that
they're embedded from Assets.swf:

 

disclosureClosedIcon:
Embed(source="Assets.swf",symbol="TreeDisclosureClosed");

disclosureOpenIcon:
Embed(source="Assets.swf",symbol="TreeDisclosureOpen");

I might end up having to go that way, but it would be preferable to use
an existing framework component, if it exists, so the skin used on the
button is that same as the skin used on the tree. Thanks for the
suggestion.

[flexcoders] Embed or Load PDF File

[mvbaffa]

Hi,

How can I load, on the fly, and/or embed a PDF in one of the Flex 2 
containers or loaders. I have a database of PDF's that should be 
displayed in my Flex 2 application.

I am now working with URL's pointing to these documents that are 
visualized directly in the browser, but I would like to show the them 
embeded in my flex container.

Can this be done 

Thansk in advance

[flexcoders] Unable to load wsdl using Proxy Service

[Allen Riddle]

I am trying to set up my Flex app to use wsdl endpoints in the proxy
services configuration. My web services are protected by Acegi, and only
allow clients to invoke the services when the authorization cookie is
dropped on their machine. When going through the proxy services
endpoint, I get an error back because my server is trying to redirect
because it's saying I'm not authorized. So, basically, I'm asking how or
if when going through the proxy service endpoint, can does it forward
client cookies and session data to the proxy. Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] uploading an object

[Daryn Nakhuda]

Hi Dimitrios,

FileReference works for uploading a local file to the server, but I want 
a way to upload serialized data that is already within my application, 
AS IF it were a local file. 

If there is a way to seed the data in FileReference, instead of using 
browse(), that would be perfect, but I didn't see a way to do that in 
the api docs.

Thanks,

Daryn

Re: [flexcoders] FDS number NaN

[Douglas McCarroll]

Jeff,

I'm not sure that this will help you find a solution, but it confirms 
that this is a known issue:

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=Part1_GetStarted.html

"Primitive values cannot be set to null in Java. When passing Boolean 
and Number values from the client to a Java object, Flex interprets null 
values as the default for primitive types; for example, 0 for double, 
float, long, int, short, byte, \u for char, and false for Boolean. 
Only primitive Java types get default values."

Re: [flexcoders] Component behavior when child of navigation container

[Steve Hindle]

This sort of thing drove me batty with Flex...
I finally ended up doing all init. in createComplete methods for each child
container (ie, when a child builds itself, it initializes itself)

This means I have to sprinkle "if (child != null)..." around the parent
container
though

Another problem I ran into related to using properties (getters/setters)
in the mxml () :
1.) 'getters' are called before the setter
  I guess this is for optimization - don't set the value if its already
set?
 Anyway, it meant my 'getters' had to work with un-initialzed data
2.) 'setters' called from the mxml could fire before initialization
completes
   it appears from 'trace' data that the call ordering is less then
intuative -
   if I recall correctly, the exact problem was that 'set' function could
   be called before the object and its children are fully initialized.
   Ended up having to handle null pointers in the setters too
3.) !!!  bad trace() calls are silently swallowed!
  This one really bugged me - if I stuck:
  trace("fooby.name: " + fooby.name)
  in a function, and fooby was null - then the Trace statement failed
  silently AND THE REST OF THE FUNCTION DIDN'T EXECUTE!!
  It was like the exception caused the function to return...
  Not exactly intuative behavior for a debugging function

[flexcoders] FDS number NaN

[Jeff Krueger]

All,
   
  I am finding that when I pass a actionscript class to a remote java 
object and a number variable type in the actionscript class is set to NaN 
(Null), that the java class gets set to a 0, instead of a null.  Is there 
something I am missing or something I need to set the number to so it will be 
null in my java class?
   
  Thanks

[flexcoders] from Flash & AMFPHP to Flex & FDS...need advice

[Kevin Merritt]

This question may be a little naive, but I am interested in why one  
would choose to use Hibernate with FDMS?  Would it be possible to do  
Cairngorm/FDMS/MySQL or would Hibernate be required?  I am not  
familiar with Hibernate so I don't completely understand the assets  
it brings to the application design.


This brings up a broader, yet more specific, question:

How hard it it to bring in these elements (such as FMDS & hibernate)  
later on in the development process?


Specifically, I am trying to migrate/redesign a large, rather  
unorganized Flash MX 2004 RIA to Flex and in the process would like  
to adhere to a more strict MVC (Cairngorm) approach.  My goal is to  
eventually provide the type of data management (sync conflicts,   
messaging, etc...) that FDS/FMDS provide however, I am a little  
concerned about biting off more than I can chew at this point.   
Currently my application uses AMFPHP & MySQL which obviously is a far  
cry from FDS and thus not only would I be migrating from Flash to  
Flex, but also from PHP to Java ( am I crazy?!)


Is there a middle ground?  Is it possible for me to focus on the Flex  
side of things and keep my server code in PHP using webORB (or  
AMFPHP) and then, down the road migrate the server code from PHP to  
Java and implement FDS & FDMS?  OR am I making a mistake to not  
implement these services now when I am completely rewriting the code  
anyway?  Will it be a HUGE amount of work to try to incorporate FDMS  
after the fact...?


I realize that this may be a very specific question, however, I would  
guess there are probably others out there who come from a AMFPHP  
Flash Remoting background and would now like to take advantage of FDS  
but are a little wary of tackling the learning curve of Flex, AS3,  
FDS & Java!


Thanks for all your input.  I am just beginning the redesign of this  
application and the postings on this list have really helped me.  I  
am planning on blogging my redesign process for those who are  
interested in my trials.  I will post the URL when I set up the blog.

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.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...

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.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!

Hi Sajid,

Datasets returned from .Net aren't natively recognized by Flex.  To
solve this, you can either use a stored procedure with FOR XML AUTO, or
cast your dataset to a class.  Here is a casting example:

P.S. Yes, WebOrb allows you to return datasets.

Re: [flexcoders] building reusable, 'stacking' components

[Steve Hindle]

Hi Igor,

  Sizes are fine - I'm already using percentage widths.  The problem is
sometimes I want the component to use a tabNavigator and sometimes I want it
to use a linkBar, etc.  The basic criteria is the 'outermost' component on
the page should use a TabNavigator, and components inside that should use a
linkbar.   Having mulitple tabNavigator components 'inside' each other is
just looking nasty - and is rather confusing.  So if I'm using the component
'stand-alone' - it should have a tabNav, but if I stack it inside another
component, it should use a more discreet nav.

 The problem boils down to:  How can I make the components container
'selectable' at run-time?  So I can
something like:  or 
I've thought about using addChild to build the components dynamically - but
that seems like over killl

Nope you don't have to create 2 or 3 types of version, you just be more

Due to you can uses in other containers that you specifies the sizes and

Best.

Re: [flexcoders] Set combobox selection to data

[Yiðit Boyar]

i dont know whether there is a better way or not but i've used the fallowing 
way.
assume needed_val is the variable which is equal to the  data of the one which 
should be selected (number in the example)



and in the findMyVal function:
private function findMyVal(obj:ComboBox , wanted:Number):Number{
for (var i:Number=0 ; i < obj.dataProvider.length;i++){
if(wanted = = obj.dataProvider[i].id ) //i assumed that the data label 
is id of the dataProvider
return i;
}
return 0;
}

whenever the dataProvider is refreshed, the function will "automatically" be 
called and set the right selected index...
by the way, i did not copy and paste a code so it may include some typing 
errors, but the logic is this...

i wish it helps, if this does not work, send a reply and  i can send a copy 
paste code that surely works.

[flexcoders] Re: What was second nature has me researching through pages of docs

[camlinaeizerous]

I haven't tested this but for 4 I would assume something similar to
the following should work.

var sometext:UITextField;
sometext.styleName = UITextField 

in your style sheet you should be able to now set styles and the font,

UITextField{
fontFamily: ...;
}

if you call it UITextField you may not have to assign the styleName. I
probably don't have all of this right but it should at least help you
get in the right direction.

Re: [flexcoders] File I/O Error - Error #2038

Check the coldfusion server's admin page. There probably is a setting on

I'm trying to upload some files via a FileReference object, with a CF

with files over this size, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

When it doesn't work, I get the following I/O Error:

The server side script is working, as I can try and upload a smaller

before it even reaches the CFC. I've set a Progress listener to the
FileUpload object, and it seems to just slow down and eventually stop,
throwing the I/O error before file upload has reacherd the total bytes

Does anyone know what might be going on here?

The HBox is not stretching vertically 100% when the panel container

Re: [flexcoders] correct way to create rectangles ?

[Daniel Freiman]

The answer to your question is really a question: Can you think of any
reason you should be using Sprites.  If you are going to want to click on
the rectangles, move them, or swap depths, Sprites might make that easier.
If they're just going to be drawn and then never change, then using Sprites
adds memory and processing overhead for no reason.  Without knowing more on
how the rectangles are going to be used, I can't say more than that.

[flexcoders] Resize children of a Tile container

[Jim Robson]

How do you dynamically resize the children in a Tile container? I
don't have any problem setting the size when the children are
initially added to the Tile. After that, however, they won't resize. 

I've posted a simple app that illustrates this issue (right-click to
view source): 
http://robsondesign.com/flexcoders/TileRendererSample/TileRendererSample.html

To use demo: Click on a dot to bring up a slider. As you can see in
the source code, and verified in the trace statements, changing the
slider changes the width and height of the dots in the selected item
renderer. However, the display does not change, even though the width
and height properties do change. 

If there's something in the docs about this, or if there's been a
previous thread on this topic, please forgive me and point me to it. I
wasn't able to find anything, but maybe I was using the wrong search
terms. 

Thanks

This is what I'm trying to do:

var Date2:String = DateUtils.displayDate(secondDate.text);

var message:int = DateUtils.compareDates(Date1,Date2);

RE: [flexcoders] uploading an object

[Mike Weiland]

Daryn,

It's possible, but probably not the way you are going about doing it. I've 
taken 2 different paths to achieve this in the past, the first was on 
www.CertificateCreator.com when a user saves a certificate the object that 
describes the certificate is sent to ColdFusion and I convert the object to 
WDDX and store that in the database. Then when a certificate is opened it is 
retrieved from the database converted from WDDX back to a ColdFusion object 
that Remoting converts back to a Flash object. I've done this similar thing 
with .NET and PHP remoting, the trick is to find what format your middleware 
can store in your database.

The second approach I've used was to use Flash Media Server to store a remote 
shared object of the object. My app would make the remote connection get the 
object and start up. This approach worked great because there weren't a lot of 
objects that needed to be saved and retrieve and the application doesn't have 
many concurrent hits that would limit our license, plus after the retrieveal of 
the object the remote connection is closed.

I believe FDS has the same remote object capabilites as FMS has so you might 
already have that end. 

Good luck,

Mike Weiland

[flexcoders] uploading an object

[Daryn Nakhuda]

I have data in my flex app that I want to send to my server as if it
were a upload from a filereference (aka, as a multipart form).

Is there a easy way to do that?

Basically, I already have a backend servlet that accepts file uploads
from my flex app,  and from an html browse form, and i'd like to use
that same backend with arbitrary serialized objects in my swf. 


Thanks,

Daryn

Re: [flexcoders] Disclosure triangles

[Darron J. Schall]

Yes, it's possible.  You have to embed the symbol from the Assets.swf 
that comes with the Flex framework.  I'm using CSS to do this in a 
similar scenario, and my code looks like this:

ClassName
{
disclosure-open-icon: Embed( souce="Assets.swf", 
symbol="TreeDisclosureOpen" );
disclosure-closed-icon: Embed( souce="Assets.swf", 
symbol="TreeDisclosureClosed" );
}

Then, I have an  that gets its source property modified based 
on disclosure state:

disclosureIcon.source = getStyle( "disclosureOpenIcon" );   // or 
"disclosureClosedIcon"

-d

Probably not, because you need a local raw socket. Apollo, of course, will

Re: [flexcoders] FDS Stress Testing Framework (Beta) Now Available

Hi Matt,

That's great. We are just about to deploy a possibly high traffic

using multiple FDS servers ?

  Available on Labs:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Stress_Testing_Framework

Info cribbed from the Labs page:

The Flex Data Services Stress Testing Framework helps Flex developers
using Flex Data Services load test their Flex 2 applications. Flex Data
Services offers a number of data transport channels for communicating
between a Flex client and the Flex Data Services server. These channels
include RTMP(s), AMF(s) and HTTP(s). Most commercial load testing tools
rely on data being sent over HTTP and less performing implementations of
the AMF protocol (usually AMF0). Flex Data Services enables developers
to leverage HTTP in addition to the latest and highest performing
version of AMF (AMF3) and data push with RTMP. As most load testing tool
vendors have not yet released support for RTMP(s) or the latest version
of AMF(s), the Flex Data Services Stress Testing Framework allows Flex
developers to load test their applications that use RTMP and AMF3
without needing to use a commercial testing tool.

Adobe is currently working with a number of testing tool vendors to
implement all of the data transport protocols available in Flash. In
addition to partnering with testing tool vendors, we are providing the
following load testing framework to enable Flex Data Services developers
to load test their applications. The Flex Data Services Stress Testing
Framework is currently in beta form, but available for testing and
evaluation. Please download and test the framework and provide us your

rowIndex refers to the index of the item in the viewable area within the

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] {data} current index
 
You could also look at the listData property on the renderer (if it
implements IDropInListItemRenderer, which it should).  It has the
rowIndex and columnIndex properties on it.  For some reason listData is
not bindable, but if your renderer is built in AS, you won't need the
binding, if it's mxml, then you can use the creationComplete event to
compute the itemIndex.  For a TileList it might be a bit complex though,
since you need to do a little math to find out what the item's index is.
Here is some pseudo code for that.  
 
var itemIndex : int = (listData.owner.columnCount * listData.rowIndex) +
(listData.columnIndex + 1)
 
What Lach suggested below is the easiest way and fastest way to get this
going.  If you need the index to be dynamic, for instance if you need to
do any filtering or sorting and want the index to be re-evaluated,
listData is the way to go.

Hi Alex,
 
Item renderers aren't really aware of the wider context in which they
are show (i.e. as one item in a collection). They are only concerned
with how to render the particular data object that is passed to them. If
you want to render some kind of index number on the view, your best bet
is probably to incorporate it in the model somehow. That is, each item
in your collection should have an index property which is set to equal
its position in the collection.
 
Then you can say

Re: [flexcoders] Spanish language charcaters on button labels

Igor,

the the values are already encoded for amfphp remoting, sending the

php makes them say [UTF String] with no value.  so I encode them in the 
html safe way and it works...

Is there a string function to change htmlText to normal text and vica 
versa, i guess i need to fish on this one.
At least I know that I can just type them temporarily.   By the way, do 
you do any work with remoting and spanish
text with amfphp?

We have our stuff that has translation tables for spanish, so all of the 
data, button labels are loaded at run time
for whichever language we are going to display.

thanks,

At least i can type them as strings in the mean time.

When a DataGrid comes into view that has the column set to an index other

  Hello,

My second question is how to delete a component out of storage.

We have some own components (basically forms), which will be created
and shown by an construct e.g.
var myComponent : T_Component = new T_Component ;
this.addChild(myComponent)

Some of our forms will be created in an popup. On every call of the
popup, we lost 5 mb or more, all childs on the windows will be
removed by formname.removeAllChild();
What cann we do, that the garbage collector will dispose this
objects.
Is there a way to show all objects with references (NOT NULL)?

I have read in the Flex Help, that this.removeChild(myComponent) not
delete the form and/or object out of the storage.
Rather the object must be destroyed.

It is sufficient to call delete(myComponent) about remove this object
out of the storage as the case may be that the garbage-collector
remove this object at any time?
Or how can I destroy a component correctly. What happens with the
widgets on this component e.g. input fields or datagrids?
Are they also being deleted?

Thanks for your help, too.

Matze

Re: [flexcoders] Drag/Drop - Datagrid. Target is off?

[Igor Costa]

Kenny in the target just enable the DropEnable=true

  Hi all,

I have a little app I built with some drag/drop functionality that I
coded in. I am not using the default and writing my own handlers.
Everything is working, meaning all the data gets added, etc.

But, this is just more of annoyance really, I cannot get the DataGrid
to accept the drop at the top row. Meaning the user has to go below the
first or second row before the drop indicators pop and they can.

Further investigation leads me to see that even the dragEnter event is
not firing.

I am using the default dragProxyImage. In fact, the only thing I really
changed was the dragDrop handler to accept a few additional values.

Any ideas?

Thanks
-Kenny

Re: [flexcoders] Spanish language charcaters on button labels

[Igor Costa]

Patrick just type the text and it works, remember that in the MXML you have
the utf-8 in the definition of xml

It's the same happens for us brazilians that has a lot of special
characters.

Devis


private function Elabora():void
{
   var
token:AsyncToken=dsBaan.fill(conto,"byConto",txConto.text,cbAnno.text);
token.addResponder(new ItemResponder(
function (data:Object, token:Object=null):void
 {
conto.removeItemAt(0);
var catObj:Object=new Object();
catObj.fornitore='Totali';
catObj.gennaio=createSubTotalObject(conto,'gennaio');
catObj.febbraio=createSubTotalObject(conto,'febbraio');
conto.addItemAt(catObj,0);

[flexcoders] Re: Charting Questions

[Tim Hoff]

To simulate a border around the rectangular region inside a chart, you
can use axisRenderers.  This example draws a dark green border inside
the axis labels.

 "
  layout="vertical" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle"
  backgroundColor="#FF">
