RE: [flexcoders] tabnavigator transitions

[Dustin Mercer]

Choose the Transition effect?  Do you mean use a different effect than the 
fade, or change the effect at runtime?  If you want something other than fade, 
you can use any of the available effect, Zoom, Rotate, Move, ect...  If you are 
wondering if you can change it during runtime, I believe it's possible, 
although I haven't done it.  It shouldn't be much more than setting the 
showEffect or hideEffect during runtime.  Sorry if I misunderstood your 
question, but hopefully that is what you were looking for.

Yigit,

You can try to use the hide and show effects on the child containers of the 
TabNavigator. The TabNavigator will play these effects when it changes. Here is 
some small pseudo code... You can use any of the Flex events in place of the 
fade affect. Note this was coded in Outlook, so not sure if it compiles, just 
wanted to throw something together for you.

[flexcoders] Two Flex Questions, Non Development

[lostinrecursion]

HI all,

I have been developing Flash applications, now Flex, for roughly 5 
years as an independent. I have no real formal training and my 
knowledge has come from many books and, of course, lively communities 
like flexcoders.

In an attempt to continue learning even as my client base grows, I 
was wondering if you could give me some recommendations of anywhere 
on the web, or in a bookstore, that I could learn a little more on 
the following topics:

1. Version Control - I have always wondered how version numbers are 
determined and, also, what best practice is in saving files, etc. As 
I do more and more RIA development and, as of late, more RIA 
development which will be licensed to third parties, I am curious to 
learn more about this as I feel it could be crucial.

2. Documentation - What are the best ways to document code? When do 
you document? How? When doing documentation for a client post 
project, what do you give them in terms of the software you have 
built for them.

Anyway, if you know of any good websites, blogs, books, etc where I 
could glean some info, that would be great.Or if you're up late with 
some time, why not toss your thoughts here?

Obviously I would prefer if you could point me to Flex/OOP based 
references since that's what we do. But, I guess any general 
programming language follows similar suit.

Thanks FG. You guys are the best around.

[flexcoders] MiniDebug Application

MiniDebug is a logging target that comes with the framework and I was
wondering what it was.  I can't find info about it anywhere?

Some one asked the same question a few weeks ago in the Adobe forums.

https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=60&catid=585&threadid=1213746&highlight_key=y&keyword1=minidebug

[flexcoders] Re: [flexcomponents] Re: wrap header text in datagrid ?

[arpan srivastava]

Hi Pablo,
i did headerWordWrap= "true" it is working, but the problem is that I 
am creating my own datagrid component in which I specifying the rowheight to be 
6% of the total height, so that it resizes accordingly. Now in this i need to 
keep the header height also same as rowheight or else it shows a extra empty 
row at the end.

// set the height
myDataGrid.headerHeight = myDataGrid.rowHeight = int((height * 6) / 
100);
myDataGrid.height = myDataGrid.measureHeightOfItems(-1,rowCount);

I've uncovered some really odd behavior with my project, and I'm hoping
someone here can shed some light as to why it could be happening.

 

I've developed a game in AS3 and then I built a Flex interface to select
a game map to play.  It's a very simple HTTPService call to a standard
XML file, which contains a list of available game maps and corresponding
map file names, difficulty level, etc.

 

Everything works beautifully...the list loads and the various maps are
displayed and all is good.

 

UNLESS

 

I change the "wmode" to "opaque" in the html wrapper for the swf.  (I
have to do that in order to get the game to run smoothly at full frame
rate.)  When I do that, the XML file does not load.  How can that be??
It's 100% repeatable behavior, at least on my app.  With opaque in
wmode, no XML...without it, XML loads perfectly every time.

 

I have both modified the standard wrapper and also used SWFObject, and
the behavior is exactly the same.  It also happens regardless of whether
I'm using localhost or my remote shared server.  Apparently Flex simply
does not like an opaque wmode.

 

Any ideas???

Re: [flexcoders] Problem with code in Flex 2: Training from the Source book. Help!

Yeah, a lot of these books were written during beta days so things may be

[flexcoders] Re: Feature request? Ability to apply multiple states or views at once..

[Mark Shepherd]

Each component (in other words, each MXML file, including the main
application) can have its own states. So if your Notes area is in a
separate MXML file, then it can have its own set of states. Same for
any other discrete area of the screen that needs to have separate states. 

Does this help?

Re: [flexcoders] Feature request? Ability to apply multiple states or views at once..

[Steve Hindle]

Hi Dustin,

 It's 'based on' that actually 'teased' me with this...
As you start having more 'optional' things in the component
('noNotes','noSaveButton',etc), you end up with a 'states explosion'...
'based on' gets about half-way there, so I figured it could be enhanced to
handle the rest?
I could do it all by manually adding/removing child components, but that
seems like overkill.

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Global error / exception handler or event

[Clint Modien]

Right now when I miss an error in my Application there isn't any way
for me to be notified that an uncaught exception has occurred. (PLEASE
correct me if I'm wrong on that... like some low level undocumented
super hack?)

I know this got shelved way back when but I wanted to start a thread
to maybe get this feature implemented for Flex 3.

I know Ely has said that this would be extremely hard to do but I
wanted to let the Adobe folks know that this is one of those REALLY
nice to haves.  If I don't want to wrap "every" piece of code in a try
catch I still want to be able to log/handle that exception some
where.. some how.

Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] Feature request? Ability to apply multiple states or views at once..

[Dustin Mercer]

Out of curiousity have you looked at the basedOn property of the state?  This 
allows you to inherit from another state.  Not sure if this is something you 
have tried or not, but at first thought, this looks like it could work.  So 
your noNotes states would be based on your show state, and then your noNotes 
states could just hide the fields that you want hidden.  Hope this helps!

Hi All,

I've been working on some basic CRUD screens, where it would be
really useful to be able to apply either multiple states or multiple
views at once (I think states would be better...)

for instance, I have a 'show' state that goes thru and makes all my
text entry fields non-editable. This gives me a nice 'display only'
version of my input record. I also have a large text-area for 'notes'
on the records - which I don't always want to show (to conserve screen
space). So I have a 'noNotes' view state. Unfortunately, if I want
to have a 'show,noNotes' state I have to replicate both the previous
states to achieve it...

It would be great to be able to specify that both the show and

[flexcoders] Re: printf similar function

[Patrick Mineault]

There is a Sprintf class for AS2, available here: 

http://natecook.com/downloads/sprintf.html

You can try running it through my AS2 to AS3 converter here:

http://www.5etdemi.com/convert/

Good luck,

Patrick

[flexcoders] Can't get focusRoundedCorners to work on ButtonBar

[Patrick Mineault]

I'm trying to accomplish the following: have a ButtonBar in which each
of the buttons has rounded corners (unlike the default where only the
left most and right most buttons have some rounded corners). I've been
playing with this for a while now, and I can't get it to work. Here's
some minimal code:


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

ButtonBarButton
{
focus-rounded-corners:"tl tr bl br";
corner-radius:10;
}
.ButtonBarButton
{
focus-rounded-corners:"tl tr bl br";
corner-radius:10;
}















As you can corner-radius works correctly but focusRoundedCorners fails
in all circumstances. Some of the code here is redundant or
non-sensical but it's just to show that I have tried everything I
could think of. Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Feature request? Ability to apply multiple states or views at once..

[Steve Hindle]

Hi All,

  I've been working on some basic CRUD screens, where it would be
really useful to be able to apply either multiple states or multiple
views at once (I think states would be better...)

  for instance, I have a 'show' state that goes thru and makes all my
text entry fields non-editable. This gives me a nice 'display only'
version of my input record.  I also have a large text-area for 'notes'
on the records - which I don't always want to show (to conserve screen
space).  So I have a 'noNotes' view state.  Unfortunately, if I want
to have a 'show,noNotes' state I have to replicate both the previous
states to achieve it...

  It would be great to be able to specify that both the show and
noNotes states should be applied.

Re: [flexcoders] Problem with code in Flex 2: Training from the Source book. Help!

[{reduxdj}]

I just picked up these books, i guess since there is an open-market on 
flex 2 books they are cranking 'em out and with the new nature of flex 
it's unavoidable.

Like i've noticed in the AS 3.0 cookbook, the flash.utils is flash.util

Errata sure Sucka!

Re: [flexcoders] uploading an object

[Daryn Nakhuda]

The same author wrote a jpg encoder.

I was just hoping to leverage the existing middleware that accepts a 
multipart form upload to accept this binary data in the same manner.

Thanks for your advice!

Re: [flexcoders] Flash Player 9 issues on Windows 2005 Tablet PC Edition

[Kelly Birr]

There is a "Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005", it's the name given to 
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition with SP2 installed.  That is what i run on 
My Toshia Portege M200 and I do run flex 2.0 applicaitons on it and it 
seems to run perfectly. 

I admittedly rarely use the pan/tablet features and could not testify to 
how well flash apps response to pen "gestures" but I just tried some 
simple point-and-click with the pen on my flash app and it works as 
expected.

Re: [flexcoders] FDS number NaN

[Douglas McCarroll]

Okay. So this is normal FDS behavior, as explained in the docs. The 
question becomes "How can we deal with this limitation of FDS?"

I don't know an answer but perhaps others on the list do.

Has anyone else wished that they could pass NaN or null into Java? How 
did you deal with this FDS limitation?

And perhaps Adobe could comment on whether there's any chance that this 
behavior will change in the future.

[flexcoders] Best Practice for creating a dynamic image array for online viewing.

[pdflibpilot]

I am trying to build an array of images from which to display 2 at a
time side by side dynamically. Its important that these images be
preloaded as much as possible to maximize response times. Ideally
loading atleast 6 images in advance as the user navigated through the
sequence.

What is the best practice model for loading several images into some
sort of array for displaying on-demand in respose to the user ?

I have explored using Loader and Sprite containers which I can get to
work okay for single images but I want to have images available 'in
the wings'. Not sure that displayContainers are the right objects for
storing and managing 'hidden' images.

I have also dissected some of the photo viewers samples out there and
they reference static images so they aren't much help.

Thanks for any suggestions

Re: [flexcoders] FDS number NaN

[Jeff Krueger]

This is correct.  My Number in my as class isn't really null it is NaN.  But I 
believe that to be the actionscript equivalent to null for a number.  And yes 
when I pass that to java function that function recieves the class with a 0 for 
the Long instead of null.  
   
  Here is the output from the console of the app server.  Notice the variable 
XPos, YPos and deployed.  See how what I send in is NaN (or null)  and it is 
converted to a 0.

  Jeff,

Let me get this clear. If I understand correctly you're passing an AS 
number hoping that it will convert to a Java Long. But your number is 
set to null, and you'd like it to convert to null on the Java type.

Is this correct?

Lach,

Have you seen Alex Uhlmann’s Dashboard Example - “How Business Logic Can 
Manage Views”?

You'll find links here:

http://cairngormdocs.org/blog/?p=20

I'm not sure that it addresses the main thrust of your concern, but it 
does talk about using more than "a collections of dumb value objects"...

Re: [flexcoders] Problem with code in Flex 2: Training from the Source book. Help!

[John C. Bland II]

Starting before the first panel, wrap the rest (down to the last )
in an HBox (see below). Keep in mind they wrote a lot of this book during
alpha/beta days of Flex 2. There may be some code inconsistencies
here/there.

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:
 
 

   


   
   ...
 
 
You can put it in front or behind your other background elements by changing
the order in the array (i.e., in the MXML).

The key is that your backgroundElement extends ChartingElement.
 
But now I have got the problem that the backgroundElement is in front of the

How can I swap them?

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.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Charting dynamic backgroundElements



Hi,

I have to draw shapes and lines into the background of a Plotchart.
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] printf similar function

[Lachlan Cotter]

Hi Misael,

That would be useful as ActionScript string concatenation operations  
are fairly clumsy with more than a few pieces. Unfortunately the AS  
String class doesn't seem to have such functionality. It's not so  
hard to roll your own, because you don't need to worry about the  
various types, you just need a single token and call toString() on  
all the arguments. Here's a sketch of something, but it's not very  
robust. You would have to add checking for zero-length arguments and  
other unexpected conditions. It might get a bit trickier also if you  
want to do various number formats like hexadecimal.

[flexcoders] White box problem with custom scrollbar skins SOLVED

[tombaggett]

I'm in the process of creating a custom look for a Flex app and ran into
a problem while creating custom skins for scrollbars.  There is a
hard-coded shape object in the mx:Container class that creates a white
box in the bottom-right corner, between the horizontal and vertical
scroll bars.

The "whiteBox" object is declared as a private data member and
instantiated and destroyed in a private function, seemingly putting it
out of reach of my derived classes.  Fortunately, I found an easy
workaround that I post about in detail on my blog here:

http://tommyb.com/2006/11/30/flex-using-custom-scrollbar-skins-youll-run\
-into-this-problem/


The short version of it is this:  Create overridden versions of both the
createChildren and validateDisplayList functions, locate the shape by
name in the display list and delete it.  FYI for anyone else that runs
into this problem!

I see what you really want to do is more akin to this:

I¹ve used this for something similar, I believe someone has written a JPG
encoder, but all you need to do is grab the bitmap data of the web cam and
upload the binary to the middleware that actually converts the binary to an
actual file.

Sorry, I thought you were trying to save a Flash object like an array of

Good luck,

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm’s Anaemic Domain Model

Good point. Lately we started to put more complex objects into the
model locator. But as soon as you do this, you want to call their
methods from the view directly and also encapsulate some of the
cairngorm event dispatching in there. It doesn't really feel
cairngorm. Therefore i'm also interested in other solutions.

Re: [flexcoders] Best practices for displaying large texts

Hi Pablo,

I'm not sure this is the best answer to your question but as far as I  
know the Text component is the right choice for displaying multi- 
line, non-editable text. If you want your users to be able to edit  
the text, you can use a TextArea instead.


I'm don't know of a way to do justified text in Flex. Sorry.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm’s Anaemic Domain Model

[Lachlan Cotter]

Something that troubles me about the Cairngorm architecture is the  
apparent lack of any proper domain model. Although it is argued that  
the domain model actually exists on the server and that the Flex  
client is essentially a view, I have always found it necessary to  
construct some kind of object graph of the domain on the client as well.

I have two concerns regarding this.

First, I have never seen examples or discussion of Cairngorm that  
deals with this issue. In most cases the 'model' isn't much more than  
a collection of dumb value objects without complex relationships.

Second, and more importantly, pretty much all the logic of Cairngorm  
apps seems to reside in the Command and Delegate classes with not  
much to speak about in the actual model. It seems to be the Commands  
that end up manipulating the application data directly, and I'm a  
little uncomfortable with this.

I think Cairngorm’s a good method for managing code and iterative  
development, but I'm not sure about how well it does encapsulation  
and MVC.

Anyone care to discuss?

Lach

Re: [flexcoders] correct way to create rectangles ?

[Lachlan Cotter]

Hello Arpan,

There's nothing wrong with the way you have done it. Consider, if you  
create child components for each of the rectangles, you will have to  
create a new class and paramatise it so they know what colour to  
draw, then you will have to instantiate them, using up memory and  
cycles, then you will have to write code to position them and manage  
them. Is there any added value or functionality in that approach  
which justifies it versus what you have now?


One possible advantage is that you will get layering functionality.  
Do you need that?


There is some middle ground. You can create a class which manages the  
drawing of the rectangles but which isn't actually a sprite subclass.  
It could just be a regular object which you can use to draw within  
the context of your UIComponent. I have used this technique for  
instance to draw grid lines on a custom chart like component where I  
wanted to break up the drawing logic but didn't want to create sub- 
components.


The only reason for this is to manage complexity. What you have is  
perfectly valid. Remember to g.clear() at the beginning unless you  
want to smear your component when you move or resize it.


Cheers,
Lach
