Re: [flexcoders] Building workspace - lowering the time
I have 4 projects open. The project I was working on had 4 components in it. I had 3 other projects open. One was a Example project that had about 20 example files in it.

[flexcoders] Combo box selectedlabel problem.
Hi all I want to set the initial value of a combo box to the first item when the application loads and load another component according to the item selected. The functionality works when I use a change action in the combo box.That is it works when I manually change the item of the combobox. But it is not working when the application is loading. That is the event is not listening when the application loads. Examples I have say 5 items select Code,1,2,3,4. So the default vaue will be select code.A alue for 1 will show an apple image in another a componentand so on. When I manually change to the value 2 the image changes and when I change to 1 the image is changed to apple. I want the application to start with the initial value of the combo box set to 1. So that the initial image will be apple.Though the combo box is set to 1 there is no image shown. Only when I do it manually it shows up. Can any one help on this regard. Thanks in Advance Hara
[flexcoders] Re: TitleWindow Component...help!
I've developed a test mxml file of the current combobox note updating

In the following example, click Fill Data. The combobox's data fills
up. Choose either the first or second item in the combobox. Now click
the associated Rename Data button for the item chosen.
Notice that nothing happens? But wait, if you click the combobox to
open it, you'll see that the data was in fact updated, but we're just
not seeing it.
Now change the ComboBox to a DataGrid. Everything works fine.
What gives?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: need strategy for filtering ArrayCollections in a Cairngorm app
Thanks for the reply, I think the root of the problem is the 'drilldown'
filtering while still keeping things in sync via binding. That or I am just
not thinking about it the right way.
retrieve array from database stored in model.master -
model.slave1, model.slave2, model.slave3 collections created from master
with preliminary filters -
the local view variable slaveData is bound to model.slave1 component
slaveData={model.slave1}/ -
slaveData in the component will get the preliminary filter of the slaveX in
the model, or if I update the user changable filter on slaveData then slaveX
will also have it's preliminary filter changed .
Thats where I'm getting stuck at, creating collections off of 1 retrieval of
data from the db, applying a filter to each collection to pre-sort them into
their category, then allowing the user to filter each category's view
further on their own actions
Is your recommendation to keep 3 master arrays in the model (manually setup
and not with a filterFunction), and when a command to update an item in 1 is
executed, I should have it update the others accordingly via looping or
setItemAt?
Sorry for the long post and my mental road block!

Hi Rick,
I havn't read the complete thread below, but since you're saying you're
working in a Cairngorm app, to me this looks like functionality that should

view could just bind to a property (some collection) of that model and
update it via encapuslated API requests aka commands. Would that work for
you?

To dig up an old thread... How would you go about this if you had a
component that you wanted to reuse for different views of the data
that could be filtered additionally by that view?
I've run into a similar problem Tom had where the filterFunction is
passed along or overwritten. It seems my only choice (good or bad?)
is to have all possible filtering functions in the component and pass
the component some logic on which to use for its 'base' data in
addition to any user filter applied on the already filtered 'base'
data set

Re: [flexcoders] Re: itemrenderer trying to access variables in main application
It depends how you design your renderer. Ben's example is excelent and will
show you how to implement an item renderer fully decoupled. In case you have an
in-line renderer, you can use outerDocument.
Example
var myVar : String = Global var declared somewhere in your parent
application. and
from your renderer you can access it: outerDocument.myVar

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: itemrenderer trying to access variables in main

Hi Bill,
This is pretty simple to accomplish if you use ClassFactory to set up
your itemRenderers. You'll need to implement IFactory in your
itemRenderer class and then do something like this in the file where
your DataGrid lives:
[Bindable] private var myRenderer:ClassFac tory;
myRenderer = new ClassFactory( MyAwesomeRendere rClass);
myRenderer.properti es = {externalObject: mainApp,
externalPropertyNam e: buttonTwoEnabled };
Then inside your IR class (where you've also declared public vars with
the same names as in the properties object) you could bind the
button's enabled property to externalObject[ externalProperty Name].
This technique is explained in more detail here:

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Access TextField within ComboBox
First you have to get to the textinput. You have a few options: 1. The cleanest way is to extend the combobox and access the protected textInput variable. 2. You could cycle through all of the children and check if (child is TextInput). Once you have the textinput, you can call mx_internal::getTextField() on textInput to get the textfield. Setting the selected property to 0,0 may leave the textbox with a caret at 0 index. If you don't want this, you want want to consider setting textfield.selectable = false instead (although I'm not 100% sure that will work either). Alternatively, you might be able to skip all this if you can simply set focus to another object (exactly how to do this depends a lot on your program). Also, you could toggle editable along with enabled which may also achieve the desired effect depending on exactly what you are looking for. - Dan On 12/5/06, Bjorn Schultheiss [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks John, I currently am using a 'prompt' on my combobox as well.

[flexcoders] TileList itemRenderer not changing when dataProvider change (cairngorm)
Hi people,
i hope u can help me on this one...
i have a ModelLocator that holds an object with ArrayCollection.
i also have a TileList that gets the ArrayCollection of that object
through DataBinding. Now, when i change the Object in the ModelLocator
none of the custom itemRenderer in the TileList do not change. they
still show the old data.
any idea?
some code:
---StoreVO.as

public class StoreVO implements IValueObject{
[ArrayElementType(Product)]
public var products:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
}
--ModelLocator.as---

[flexcoders] double namespace when adding custom soap header?
We've faced weird issue today, working with Flex : We have a webservice call defined in .mxml - /mx:WebService id=recrutidooCVService wsdl=http://localhost:8080/recrutidoo/services/CVService?wsdl; useProxy=false showBusyCursor=true mx:operation name=getCVById result=handle_getCVByID(event) mx:request id1/id /mx:request /mx:operation /mx:WebService/ We want to add custom headers to the soap message, so we use, let's say ; /recrutidooCVService.addSimpleHeader(AuthenticationToken, http://services.recrutidoo.microplan.pl;, token,1100_a_generated_token_0011);/ and then we launch the operation call, but here's what we are really sending (or at least, what our endpoint receives) : /SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; xmlns:SOAP-ENV=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/; xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema; SOAP-ENV:Header ns1:AuthenticationToken xmlns:ns1=http://services.recrutidoo.microplan.pl; ns1:token//1100_a_generated_token_0011///ns1:token /ns1:AuthenticationToken ns0:AuthenticationToken xmlns:ns0=http://services.recrutidoo.microplan.pl; ns0:token//1100_a_generated_token_0011///ns0:token /ns0:AuthenticationToken /SOAP-ENV:Header SOAP-ENV:Body getCVById xmlns=http://services.recrutidoo.microplan.pl; ns0:id xmlns:ns0=http://services.recrutidoo.microplan.pl;1/ns0:id /getCVById /SOAP-ENV:Body /SOAP-ENV:Envelope/ Notice that we have the AuthenticationToken field passed twice in the header, once in ns1 namespace, second ns0 namespace.

Re: [flexcoders] HTTPService POST with request parameters
Jeff
Thanks for the reminder about the additional ATG methods to the query
parameters (getURLParameter()). However, that didn't help in this case.
Turns out I had to append my query parameters to the URL of the HTTPService
in ActionScript (i.e. getSponsor.url += ?o=sponsora=put) to get Flex to
send them.

On 12/5/06, Jeff Vroom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Possibly the issue is due to the fact that you have both query string
parameters and POST data parameters in the same request. I think that ATG
used to have a bug where the query parameters are not returned by the
getParameter method if the request has method=POST. They expose another
method on the DynamoHttpServletRequest called getQueryParameter which will
always return the query parameters. I vaguely recall that bug got fixed at
some point but it has been a long time since I worked for ATG.
One nice thing about ATG is that if you do a toString on the request
object, it dumps out all of the state of the request. That might be a way
to ensure that the query parameters are at least making it to the server in
the URL.

Correct, the model data is getting there, but not the querystring
parameters.
I also noticed about the mx:objects in the post. It was an error and I was
getting really screwy data on the server. I've since changed the bindings to
point to the text property of the objects and the post body is being sent
correctly (I also had to add contentType=application/xml to my
HTTPService.
After making those changes, I am still seeing the same behavior as before
(with a valid post body, now).
The server platform is ATG (Java servlet based). When I try to extract the
2 request parameters, I get null for both of them.
Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Problems trying to deploy Flex app on CF server
Stephen, Are you configured such that you can be in Flex Builder 2, then hit F11 (same as Main Menu -- Run -- Debug)? If you can run it this way the debug player communicates back to Flex Builder 2 and opens and points to the code where the error is being thrown. Seeing where the error is often helps developers in resolving the problem. If you can run it this way and are still unsure what the error is, please post the block of code where the error is so that we can see it in context. Also, had you looked up in the Language Reference the class indicated: mx.messaging.messages.ErrorMessage I have bookmarked the following top level URL for the Flex 2 Language Reference: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/ Looking up mx.messaging.messages.ErrorMessage, I see no Property message on the class ErrorMessage. The doc page for the class ErrorMessage is here: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/mx/messaging/messages/ErrorMessage.html Returning to your original question: What could be the cause of this error? It looks like there may be a statement in your code that is referencing on an object a non-existent property message. Again if you can post the actual code it may be more clear. Again, please post back more detail. hth, g On 12/6/06, stephen50232 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm trying to deploy my first Flex application on a coldfusion server.

[flexcoders] To Remote Call or Not To Remote Call in Cairngorm
For fairly static data that is bound to many different views, I only want to go to the server when the data's not there. I have an ArrayCollection that I bind to several different visual components. Which visual components get built depends on what permissions the user has. I want to make sure that all the components are independent of each other and dispatch the event to get the data. It's a fairly large amount of data, however it's very static and I don't want to go to the server everytime one of these components is rendered. Also, it's in a fairly large application and I don't want to dispatch the event on application startup because the user may not have permissions for any of the screens. My first inclination on handling this is to look at the ModelLocator to see if the data is null or not and act accordingly and that works great. So I was wondering where and how other people are managing this kind of logic. Thanks, Brian. *** The information in this e-mail is confidential and intended solely for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.

[flexcoders] Functions as objects
I've tried using the example from the docs where you assign the value
to a property on the function and then use arguments.callee.prop to
get the value, but Flex Builder gives me an error saying Access of
possibly undefined property prop through a reference with static type
Function. when assigning the value to the function.
Example:
function test()
{
trace(arguments.callee.prop);
}
test.prop = testing; // Error
Global.as defines Function as dynamic yet FB produces an error.
This is supposedly possible in AS3 as per:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/1835.html
However, if you try the last example you'll get compiler errors.
Is there a way to add properties to a function? Or is this not supported in AS3?

[flexcoders] Re: How to make ViewStack Item Invisible
It will not be part of the view stack at all unless you want the user
to be able to access it. Essentially until you add it it doesn't
exist. When you do add the view with addChild() a button will be
created automatically and the view will become accessible you
shouldn't have to refresh anything. If the user has access to the view
when they log on add it and it should appear if not it won't be there
at all.
If thats not the functionality your looking for then a different
approach is needed. Something similar to the following may be more
appropriate for your needs.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;

[flexcoders] Base Classes, Bindable, and dispatchEvent
Hi All, I have a base class I use for models (ModelBase, original eh?) that contains a 'set' function. set(source:Model) - it simply copies fields from the source model to 'this'. Works great, except I'm not sure how to let everyone know the model changed. The base class currently uses dispatchEvent(new Event(ModelChanged)) to signal the change. Since I import flash.events.*, I'm guessing this throws a flash.events.Event. Derived classes don't throw any events. Application code has: [Bindable (event=ModelChanged)] private var _model:DerivedClass; and getter/setter for model. The setter also uses dispatchEvent(new Event(ModelChanged)). Problem is, the setter in the application code trips the event listener I added... but set() in the base class doesn't cause it to fire.. Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?
RE: [flexcoders] AMFPHP / databinding nested arrays
The way you constructed your array might come out like this, but not
sure, looks a little crazy
myResultObject[0].day.mon.start.100.end.300
Nested Arrays return into Flex as objects. I havent tried nesting
an array as complicated as this, I guess its doable but it
might be better to reorganize your array structure . I think it will
be easier to read than a big old nested array constructor than in php
if you use the following example, and this is how I do it.
?
$my_array = array();
$my_array[0]['days'] =$some array
$my_array[0]['starts'] =$some_other_array
Return $my_array;
?
//in flex your result arrays work like this...
Var someArray:Array = myResultObject[0].days
Var someOtherArray:Array = myResultObject[0].starts
Then you can get your values and organize your arrays which ever way
you like.
Hope this Helps

Subject: [flexcoders] AMFPHP / databinding nested arrays
Hi there,
I guess this is a typical newbie question, maybe someone could
kindly direct me to a tutorial or sample:
I try to bind e.g. using a charts control to a nested array I receive
from an AMFPHP service.
On the php side I have as an example:
$outputArr[] = array('day' = 'Mon', array('start' = '100', 'end' =
'300'));
$outputArr[] = array('day' = 'Tue', array('start' = '250', 'end' =
'600'));
$outputArr[] = array('day' = 'Wed', array('start' = '500', 'end' =
'600'));
return $outputArr;
..which will deliver the data correctly as I can see from the flex
debugger.
In flex I have eg.:
mx:series
mx:ColumnSeries xField=day yField=??? /
/mx:series
Now, how do I access e.g. the value 'start' to use it for
databinding? Well, 'day.start' does not do the trick : )
I had similar probs using XML for binding, where I wouldnt be able to
access sub-children?
Do I have to somehow wrap the server response into an actionscript
object which I'd have to manually add properties to?
Any hint greatly appreciated!!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Newbie Question - Please set me straight
Hank, Thanks for your reply. I am not sure I am explaining this correctly but let me try adding these details and see if this helps. My backend is ColdFusion and I have created Flex remote objects to several CFCs that each correspond to a separate business object (not necessarily one table). For example, I have an employeeGateway.cfc who's methods all pertain to employees (e.g. readEmployeeById(), readEmployeeByUsername(), addEmployeePermission()). From what I understand I have to set up a remote object connection to each CFC that I want to talk to. Although I could create a single CFC to group together lookup table queries I prefer to keep them in their distinct CFCs to allow for future methods related to those objects. Does this clear things up at all or am I still way off? Thanks again for your help!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Newbie Question - Please set me straight
Steve, I dont know much about cold fusion, but as a general architectural strategy I think you are mistaken in thinking that combining CFCs to group together lookups. Programming is all about creating simple functions, then creating more complex functions that use the simpler functions and then more complex functions that use those, etc. I dont know what the information you are trying to display is, but I would generally recommend (without knowing the actual specifics here) that you should, as I initially suggested, do this grouping on the server side. This is the kind of work that servers are suposed to do. There is no reason the simpler functions cant also be accessible to the client or to other objects on the server, but if you have a complicated function that builds on a variety of queries that is almost always done on the server side. Of course as I said, I dont know anything about cold fusion, so the mechanics of exactly how you do what I am talking about in CF is beyond me. But If you are doing a ton of massaging of data in the client, it is a sign that you server side code is not delivering high level enough information.

Any advice or assistance is much appreciated. Thanks, -Jeff
RE: [flexcoders] Dynamic Min/Max for chart axis not updating automatically.
I'm a little confused by your question. If you're explicitly assigning a
min/max value, you're telling the chart you don't want it to generate
automatic min/max values. If you're asking how to remove your
previously assigned min/max and ask it to restart automatically
generating min/max values, just set the min/max of the axis to
undefined.
Ely.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2: FDS Freezes Flash player before responders get called
Hi Jeff, Thank you for your response. The size of the message debug output is 221KB. There are ~170 objects in a Heirarchical list with a max depth of ~5 child objects. I also need to clearify my initial posting; the flash player is freezing AFTER the commit() and BEFORE my responder gets called by the AsyncToken. The pause I'm seeing doesn't seem indicative of serialization overhead. I do see an initial pause when I call commit. I put a breakpoint in my java DAO so I know when that gets called. It responds in a reasonable time (1-2 seconds). I can avoid the Freeze, if I call release() on the DataService. However this gives me the following error and of course the responder doesn't get called: Error: Unable to find the committed message batch with id 34A9FA18-58B7-7CDC-E2F5-587149047AD0 in the commit result handler. at mx.data::CommitResponder/result()[C:\dev\enterprise_gmc\frameworks\mx\data\CommitResponder.as:223] at mx.rpc::AsyncRequest/acknowledge()[C:\dev\enterprise_gmc\frameworks\mx\rpc\AsyncRequest.as:82] at NetConnectionChannel.as$37::NetConnectionMessageResponder/NetConnectionChannel.as$37:NetConnectionMessageResponder::resultHandler()[C:\dev\enterprise_gmc\frameworks\mx\messaging\channels\NetConnectionChannel.as:407] at mx.messaging::MessageResponder/result()[C:\dev\enterprise_gmc\frameworks\mx\messaging\MessageResponder.as:202] I essentially don't want fds to worry about updating the managed object on the front end, but I do want it to trigger the responder when the backend createItem is done and most importantly doing it without pegging the client's CPU. thanks, JB --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeff Vroom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not sure how large very large is but it is certainly possible to give the client too much work to cause this type of problem. The createItem call will end up serializing the object which makes a complete copy of it. If you have managed associations, there could be additional work as it has to create the child objects as well. One way to get an idea of what is going on is to enable the debug logging on the client side: mx:TraceTarget/, use the debug player, and look in flashlog.txt in your home directory for the output. That hopefully will make things even slower, but hopefully the trace log will show some evidence of what is taking so long.

[flexcoders] Date Fields and Data Binding.
I am attempting to do something I thought was pretty simple. Using the cairngorm model, basically I have a data instance object attached to the model, and it has a Data Object attached to it. So think of it this way. I am running an application that tracks a list of canidates. So there is a CanidateVO actionscript object, and it has a member variable attached to it called interview date, and its of type Date. I am running a java backend retrieving these using spring and hybernate, and the conversion works fine. The problem I am having is with data binding in a grid and details panel. The grid has an array collection which is attached to the model, and that array contains a list of all the canidates, some that have dates and some that dont. All have member variables, but since all instances have not interviewed they may not have a value in the date field, thus those member vars are null. So the problem is that when I have a particular grid object selected, I see the details of that canidate in the details panel, which is just a panel that contains text fields and a dateField component. Well all the other bindings are working fine, but not the dateField binding. I have set the dateFields text bound to the attribute of the object, and that does not work, and I have set the dataProvider and that does not work, and I have even set a data attribute on the dateField and that does not work. Whats happening is, when I am looking at a particular canidate without an interview date, and I select the dateField, then put a date in it and DONT save the record but go to a different instance on the grid, all the fields are updated except the dateField. The dateField text remains there regardless of the fact that the selectedItem has changed, and the new selectedItem has no date in it. Conversly if I select a canidate who does have a date, the date is displayed, but once I go to one without a date, the date stays in the field. Why is data binding not working for dates? Please help.

[flexcoders] Re: AMFPHP / databinding nested arrays
Hi Patrick,
thx a bunch already for answering!!
Actually my example will already allow me to access the values like:
trace( myResultObject[0].day );// prints 'Mon'
trace( myResultObject[0].[0].start ); // prints '100'
...
But I guess there´s no way to use e.g. that 'start' value directly
via MXML binding, hm?
I should rather be using a custom renderer for it or flatten the aray
on the client pre-binding?!
The latter(flatten array on client) just 'feels' a little uncomfortable,
as well as it feels not too good to change the data structure in the
backend 'only' for flex.
thx again regards

Nested Arrays return into Flex as objects. I haven't tried
nesting
an array as complicated as this, I guess it's doable but it
might be better to reorganize your array structure . I think it will
be easier to read than a big old nested array constructor than in php
if you use the following example, and this is how I do it.
?
$my_array = array();
$my_array[0]['days'] =$some array
$my_array[0]['starts'] =$some_other_array
Return $my_array;
?
//in flex your result arrays work like this...
Var someArray:Array = myResultObject[0].days
Var someOtherArray:Array = myResultObject[0].starts
Then you can get your values and organize your arrays which ever way
you like.

Subject: [flexcoders] AMFPHP / databinding nested arrays
Hi there,
I guess this is a typical newbie question, maybe someone could
kindly direct me to a tutorial or sample:
I try to bind e.g. using a charts control to a nested array I receive
from an AMFPHP service.
On the php side I have as an example:
$outputArr[] = array('day' = 'Mon', array('start' = '100', 'end' =
'300'));
$outputArr[] = array('day' = 'Tue', array('start' = '250', 'end' =
'600'));
$outputArr[] = array('day' = 'Wed', array('start' = '500', 'end' =
'600'));
return $outputArr;
..which will deliver the data correctly as I can see from the flex
debugger.
In flex I have eg.:
mx:series
mx:ColumnSeries xField=day yField=??? /
/mx:series
Now, how do I access e.g. the value 'start' to use it for
databinding? Well, 'day.start' does not do the trick : )
I had similar probs using XML for binding, where I wouldnt be able to
access sub-children?
Do I have to somehow wrap the server response into an actionscript
object which I'd have to manually add properties to?
Any hint greatly appreciated!!

Re: [flexcoders] Date Fields and Data Binding.
Just a guess here - I just use vanilla Flex Sounds like the field is not being assigned. Since the field starts out as blank in your model, and your selecting another model with a blank field - perhaps Flex is 'short-circuiting' the assignment. I've noticed that for an assignment like foo = bar, Flex always seems to call the getter for foo, _before_ calling the setter. I can only surmise this it to allow it to short circuit the assignment if foo = bar already. So in your case, blank == blank, and no assignment is done, hence no event fires ?

Ah - that is because AnimateProperty is just cycling through all the RGB

may want to do is add an event handler for the tweenUpdate event on the

in the TweenEvent object is. That value is what the backgroundColor is
at that moment in the lifetime of the effect. You can then add in your
own logic that sets the backgroundColor depending on where the effect is
in its lifetime (ie: simulate a progression from dark gray to light
gray). I'm not 100% sure how that will work out but I'd be interested in
finding out what doesn't work about it.
Incidentally, you should check out Alex Uhlmann's Animation Package

[flexcoders] Re: Dynamic Min/Max for chart axis not updating automatically.
Hi Ely,
Sorry if I confused you. If I let flex handle the min/max value, I am
not getting the time axis I'm looking. Say for example, the current
time is 4:01:00. Consider a collection with size = 60. It consists
of data for the last 60 seconds. If I let flex handle it, the h-axis
will only show 4:00:00 to 4:01:00. But what I really want is for the
h-axis to show the time from 4:00:00(min) to 4:03:00 (max)
(T+3minutes). As more data arrives each second, I want the min and
max to change to reflect the times that are in the collection.
Once I assign a min/max to the chart, is there a way to update it
according to new values in the dataProvider?
The only way I was able to make it change was if I created a button
which sets a new Min/Max. I would need to consistently click on the
button to create the moving window of (T + 3).

i see. that mostly works. except now it cycles through every color
giving a flicker effect like i am on acid. try this to see:

/mx:Application
If i change the fromValue and the toValue to a two digit number like so
it is a very smooth transition but it does not fade from white. It only
fades from blue. Try this:
mx:AnimateProperty id=fadeColor isStyle=true
property=backgroundColor
fromValue=0xFF toValue=0x00
target={Application.application}
duration=2000/
I am thinking of just transitioning to a blank black state but that
feels like a hack.

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure I am explaining this correctly
but let me try adding these details and see if this helps. My backend
is ColdFusion and I have created Flex remote objects to several CFCs
that each correspond to a separate business object (not necessarily
one table). For example, I have an employeeGateway.cfc who's methods
all pertain to employees (e.g. readEmployeeById(),
readEmployeeByUsername(), addEmployeePermission()). From what I
understand I have to set up a remote object connection to each CFC
that I want to talk to. Although I could create a single CFC to group
together lookup table queries I prefer to keep them in their distinct
CFCs to allow for future methods related to those objects.
Does this clear things up at all or am I still way off? Thanks again

Steve,
You definitely shoud not have a business delegate for every lookup
table. I dont really understand the detail of what you explained in
your email, but communications between a client and a server should
never be as granular as mapping just directly to a table. Think of
communications with a server as asking high level questions like, who
are my top spending customers this month. This might require access
to several tables. This calculation work should be done on the server
and the results should then be delivered from the server to the
client. The client should generally not be taking the results of
several table searches and intersecting, joining, merging or anything
of the sort. That is really server side work.

As far as the 6 different datasources, it is not. Perhaps this is
incorrect, but I have a business delegate for each lookup table and a
service (remote object) for each Coldfusion component that I am
talking to.
For example:
My EVENT_LOAD_CONTROL_PANEL executes the LoadControlPanelDataCommand
The LoadControlPanelDataCommand fires the EVENT_READ_ALL_QUEUES
(and 5
other events)
The EVENT_READ_ALL_QUEUES executes the ReadAllQueuesCommand
The ReadAllQueuesCommand creates a QueueDelegate and executes
QueueDelegate.readAllQueues()
The QueueDelegate creates an instance of the ServiceLocator and
executes .getRemoteObject(queueService)
The queueService is configures in Services.mxml as
mx:RemoteObject
id=queueService
destination=ColdFusion
source=CF.queueHandler
showBusyCursor=true
result=event.token.resultHandler( event );
fault=event.token.faultHandler( event );/
Does this make sense

right up my alley. (www.bfpug.us http://www.bfpug.us) :-)
how do you handle 6 different results since there is only 1
onResult function.
I think that the answer here is you don't. :-)
Cairngorm has a SequenceCommand which has:
public var nextEvent : CairngormEvent;
You can then call its executeNextCommand() from your result()
method
which launches that event.
This will work well enough if you need results from command_1
before
you
make the service call in command_2, which you need before
command_3,
etc.
On the other hand, if that's not the case, what to do?

[flexcoders] Re: Swapping components but keeping a single ID
Hi Troy, I have deal with some similar thing and I finally found that the best approach is to have a single AS variable referencing the right component at the right moment, that is, change the object pointed by the AS variable when your state changes. In the other hand, I also found that components inside a repeater that are defined with a single ID, become to an array of components: If you have mx:Button id=btn/ inside a repeater, at the end, you will get that btn is an array of Buttons. I do not know how to get that programatically or without using a repeater however it would be cool.

Re: [flexcoders] Building workspace - lowering the time
I dunno if this holds true with you guys but I noticed having a lot of application mxml in the same project folder burdens flex a lot. So im guessing when flex is 'building workspace' - one of the memory intensive task it does is checking each application in your project directory and looking for dependencies (broken ones, updated ones, erroneous ones etc). Correct me if im wrong - moreover i think it updates the project property file associated with the current project. I have also tried moving to a new workspace for every big project i have to do - probably it's overkill -- or even unrelated.. but i have to convince myself im doing something to make it compile faster :D (im running it on 1.5 GB mem with 3GHz processor at 800mhz FSB.. it's not top of the line but i had not expected it to choke on a Flex compile. Apparently i was wrong. So on top of run-time advantages, having the mx module component in the next flex release will allow us to create separate application and project filers for the parts/modules we need.) --- dorkie dork from dorktown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have 4 projects open.

Hank, you are correct.
Multiple selection was disabled in the Tree for the Flex 2 release. We
have re-enabled it in the next version of Flex which should be out soon.

Hello.
I'm a novice in Flex world.
My first application that I working is an intranet. I'm using RemoteObject
tech with php and SabreAMF, it work fine.
My implementation are a first page with login window, then if you can
login, other SWF file are loaded from server and inside of the file others
SWFs, the modules of application load dinamically.
I have some doubts about how load SWFs dinamycally, how (best way) create
SWFLoader and load other modules, and how interact with components inside
of the other SWF file.
Best regards.

[flexcoders] flex 1.5 numericstepper problem
Hi all,
I have a problem with a numeric stepper in a cellrenderer of a
dataGridColumn.
When the cell loses focus, it goes back to the value set initially, so
I lose all the changes.
Here is the cellrenderer code:
mx:HBox horizontalAlign=center width=100%
xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
mx:Script
![CDATA[
var labelData:Object;
var val;
function setValue(str:String, item:Object) {
if (item == undefined){
visible = false;
return;
}
visible = true;
var s = item;
labelData = s;
val = labelData.levels;
}
function changeVal(){
val = changed.value;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:NumericStepper id=changed value={val} change=changeVal()
maximum={labelData.fill}/
/mx:HBox
I need the numericStepper to keep the value I change it to in each of
the rows I change it.
Cheers,
Iain

Hank,
Thanks for your reply. I am not sure I am explaining this correctly
but let me try adding these details and see if this helps. My
backend
is ColdFusion and I have created Flex remote objects to several CFCs
that each correspond to a separate business object (not necessarily
one table). For example, I have an employeeGateway.cfc who's methods
all pertain to employees (e.g. readEmployeeById(),
readEmployeeByUsername(), addEmployeePermission()). From what I
understand I have to set up a remote object connection to each CFC
that I want to talk to. Although I could create a single CFC to
group
together lookup table queries I prefer to keep them in their
distinct
CFCs to allow for future methods related to those objects.
Does this clear things up at all or am I still way off? Thanks again
for your help!

Steve,
You definitely shoud not have a business delegate for every lookup
table. I dont really understand the detail of what you explained in
your email, but communications between a client and a server should
never be as granular as mapping just directly to a table. Think of
communications with a server as asking high level questions like,
who
are my top spending customers this month. This might require access
to several tables. This calculation work should be done on the server
and the results should then be delivered from the server to the
client. The client should generally not be taking the results of
several table searches and intersecting, joining, merging or anything
of the sort. That is really server side work.

Since they are not dependent on each other, I went with just

As far as the 6 different datasources, it is not. Perhaps this is
incorrect, but I have a business delegate for each lookup table
and a
service (remote object) for each Coldfusion component that I am
talking to.
For example:
My EVENT_LOAD_CONTROL_PANEL executes the
LoadControlPanelDataCommand
The LoadControlPanelDataCommand fires the EVENT_READ_ALL_QUEUES
(and 5
other events)
The EVENT_READ_ALL_QUEUES executes the ReadAllQueuesCommand
The ReadAllQueuesCommand creates a QueueDelegate and executes
QueueDelegate.readAllQueues()
The QueueDelegate creates an instance of the ServiceLocator and
executes .getRemoteObject(queueService)
The queueService is configures in Services.mxml as
mx:RemoteObject
id=queueService
destination=ColdFusion
source=CF.queueHandler
showBusyCursor=true
result=event.token.resultHandler( event );
fault=event.token.faultHandler( event );/
Does this make sense

[flexcoders] Flex eye candy and memory consumption
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has run across memory consumption issues when using some of the eye candy in the Flex framework. Here are a couple of examples of what I am referring to: 1. The translucent overlay on the rest of the app when using Alert.show in modal mode. (vs. using the flag Alert.NONMODAL) 2. Using mx:WipeUp/ and mx:WipeDown/ for the inEffect and outEffect of a component. I've been tracking the effect of using these effects by watching Task Manager|Mem Usage for the firefox.exe process right before and right after these effects run. We're talking 4-10MB of memory consumed each time these effects are run. (I know because I've done the process of tracking with the same code and the effects turned off resulting in 300KB-1.5MB). My concern is that: 1. I can't programmatically (minus the unsupported tip given to us by gskinner http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2006/08/as3_resource_ma_2.html) force the Garbage Collector to run. 2. Since I can't force the Garbage Collector to run, the comments by Ted Patrick on Flash Player memory management and releasing memory back to the OS is highly concerning. (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/48219 | http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/48330) I understand that effects would consume memory to run, but I don't like thinking that once the memory has been allocated I have no control on if it will be given back to the Operating System. I've tried leaving my app open all night to see if the memory allocation would go down and it doesn't. (You would think since the effects were long done it would) Also, the app I'm working on is one that needs to run all day, so closing and reopening the browser is not an option. Has anyone noticed what I've noticed or have any insight on how to use effects without increasing the footprint so? -Jun
[flexcoders] Use an Image as an icon
Hello. Can anybody tell me either how to use an image as an icon, or
convert an image to a class for use as an icon (in components, the
icon is of type Class)? Or better yet is it possible for
me to dynamically embed an image via a variable?
Sure the usual embed assertion works:
[Embed('image.jpg')]
[Bindable] var img:Class;
...
mx:Button label=button icon={img} /
But what I want to do is embed the image via a variable such as:
var image:String = image.jpg;
[Embed(image)]
var img:Class;
What I'm trying to do is a bit more complex, but help with this simple
example should get me going. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You need to update the grid's data field in your change handler. Try
the following:
var listOwner : MovieClip; // the reference we receive to the list
var getCellIndex : Function; // the function we receive from the list
var getDataLabel : Function; // the function we receive from the list
function changeVal() {
val = changed.value;
listOwner.editField(getCellIndex().itemIndex, getDataLabel(),

Hi together, As a newbie I would like to get your advices on how to use the Hibernate caching for Flex Data Management Services. Is this possible at all or a contra-diction to the HibernateAssembler? For my java applications I currently use second-level caching to speed up data access with Hibernate (3.2), which I would also like to use for my Flex app: For this I use in the Hibernate mapping definition (inside the class element): cache usage=read-write/ Unfortunately if I turn EhCache on (via the hibernate configuration) ... property name=cache.provider_classorg.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider/property ... the tomcat logs show an ugly stack-trace: CacheException: Attempt to restart an already started EhCacheProvider. See below for the exception in its full-length beauty. The only way to overcome this, to avoid caching at all by setting: property name=cache.provider_classorg.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider/property (Also using the recommended SingletonEhCacheProvider does not help) Any help much appreciated.

I tried this, but the numericStepper just stops stepping.
Any other ideas?

Hi Iain,
You need to update the grid's data field in your change handler. Try
the following:

Hi all,
I have a problem with a numeric stepper in a cellrenderer of a

When the cell loses focus, it goes back to the value set initially, so
I lose all the changes.

[flexcoders] PNG transparency failing in @Embed?
I've run into a situation where the exact same PNG file will show up as
transparent only when it's not embedded. Here is the mxml:
mx:Image source=@Embed('assets/user-big.png')/
mx:Image source=assets/user-big.png/
Including both images on the page, the first is missing the transparent
background. The second is fine. I have manually checked the images, both
in the dev directory and bin directory. In fact, I have manually copied the
dev ones over the top of the bin ones to make sure. If I drag the images to
Firefox, both appear with no background. The background color is teal, so I
would definitely notice.
Near as I can tell, the embed is causing the background transparency to not
be processed. I can't find anything in the docs saying this is expected
behavior.

Re: [flexcoders] ActionsScript 3 Cookbook Companion Classes: Number Utilities Bug
This is a floating point bug. See Gordon's response to Is this a bug? About Number type on Aug 30 for full details. I'll quote the important parts: getting 23.703 isn't a bug; you'd get the same answer in other languages like Java and C++. The imprecision is because Number in ActionScript (like float in Java and C++) stores a floating-point value as a binary fraction, not as a decimal fraction. These datatypes use binary fractions because that's how current microprocessors store and manipulate floating-point values...Perhaps you can simply round your results to the precision you need? Take a look at the toFixed() method of the Number class. - Dan On 12/6/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wow, the description says that this number will be rounded up to the next decimal point: trace (NumberUtilities.round(3.75,.1)); .1, being the flag to round up, so the result should be 3.8.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex eye candy and memory consumption
From what I understand, what Ted means is that the player asks for such and such amount of memory when it requires some, and may or may not give it back when it doesn't need it anymore. So the worst case scenario is that the memory consumed by the player is the maximum amount of memory since it was loaded (the ceiling). That's the worst case scenario however. In my personal tests in Firefox 2 when the totalMemory goes down the memory consumption in Firefox also goes down a few seconds later. I am talking about an app here which can take a full 100MB of memory in a few seconds then release it in a few more seconds later (lots of BitmapData manipulation and Loaders). I think what Ted means is that you can't expect the garbage collector to collect when you want it to and you can't expect that when the garbage collector is run the memory will go down immediately, although it should eventually based on the player's and the browser's memory allocation heuristics. As for the effects though, I think it's possible that the instance of the effect is still in memory after being used, but I doubt that's the actual cause of the problem, since the effect doesn't really contain all that much stuff in it. It's possible however that once the effect is played it doesn't completely clean up after itself. Things to look out for include filters, cacheAsBitmap set to true, wipe effect masks which linger on, etc. For example, if you use have a tween from a blur filter to set blurX from 4 to 0, you have to make sure after to set filters to an empty array and set cacheAsBitmap to false (filters automatically set cacheAsBitmap to true). You'd really have to look at the source code of the actual effect you're using to see how it works internally and see if it's doing the kind of cleanup you want it to do, and if not, then perhaps you should try to extend the effect to do the garbage collection yourself. Here's my advice however: don't bother doing this unless you're in the final stages of the application development. 10 MBs lingering about is not going to make your app crash. I would expect that at the end your app will have more important memory bottlenecks than this one, like heavy use of Repeaters, too much components initialized, etc. Patrick coderjun a écrit : Hello, I was wondering if anyone has run across memory consumption issues when using some of the eye candy in the Flex framework.

I've tried leaving my app open all night to see if the memory allocation would go down and it doesn't. (You would think since the effects were long done it would) Also, the app I'm working on is one that needs to run all day, so closing and reopening the browser is not an option. Has anyone noticed what I've noticed or have any insight on how to use effects without increasing the footprint so? -Jun
RE: [flexcoders] FDS: Using Hibernate second-level cache possible?
I think the important part of the error is here: ... 41 more Caused by: net.sf.ehcache.CacheException: Cannot parseConfiguration CacheManager. Attempt to create a new instance of CacheManager using the diskStorePath /tmp/cache which is already used by an existing CacheManager. The source of the configuration was classpath. at net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager.configure(CacheManager.java:248) at net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager.init(CacheManager.java:193) at net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager.init(CacheManager.java:180) at org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider.start(EhCacheProvider.java:124) It seems like there are two session factories being started up which are configured to use the same cache. This could be because you have two web apps on the same machine each using hibernate. I don't think that flex would be trying to create two SessionFactories unless you were using more than one hibernate configuration file. Flex should share one session factory from all destinations which use the same hibernate configuration file. There must be some way to set the path name of the cache... maybe you just need to specify a different path name for this cache for the FDMS version of hibernate?

[flexcoders] Re: Flex eye candy and memory consumption
Patrick, Thanks for such a quick response, that was some very good feedback which I appreciate! In regard to the GC, I understand the concept, and know that these decisions were made to increase the performance of Flash Player 9. It's just a bummer that I can leave an app open all night with absolutely no automated or user interation and come back in the morning with the same amount of memory allocated to the firefox.exe process. (Much of it that had been allocated during these effects) In regard to the app I am building, it is an Intranet app that was meant as a web-based replacement for a vb app. It's an app that's meant to run 8 hours a day without being closed and has a lot of transitions between the views and need for modal alert windows. So for me, 10 mb a pop without release is a pretty big hit over the course of the day. At this point the application development has completed and it's been through both SIT and UAT. I really do appreciate you suggestion on extending the effect, that is definitely something I'll try if I run into this again on another project. (This one's out of budget ;-) I'm going to be speaking with Adobe support here in the next day or so to see if they have any tips on how to use the mx.controls.Alert.show() in a modal manner without a significant amount of new memory being allocated and not released. If they bring to light any new information on this topic, then I will make sure to post it to this thread.

hi coders; I made an app that does a lot of matematical functions and handlers a lot numbers, but there is an error when the app multiplies some int. It have to return the number -2147408896 but it returns 2147408896. what int is big for AS3 to handle?
[flexcoders] vertically centering text
Is there any way to vertically center text? Specifically, I have a datagrid
column that I want to have the text centered vertically in.
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Name
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:Label text={data.fullName}/
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:DataGridColumn
Since there is also a image field, the height of each row is a lot higher
than the text and I don't like how it looks.
I can't find any property that seems to apply. I know there is a
verticalCenter property, but it takes an int and seems to be completely
undocumented in the Flex help. I've also tried working with styles but I
couldn't find anything that would apply.

OK Thanks for your help. Steve On 12/6/06, hank williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Steve, I dont know much about cold fusion, but as a general architectural strategy I think you are mistaken in thinking that combining CFCs to group together lookups. Programming is all about creating simple functions, then creating more complex functions that use the simpler functions and then more complex functions that use those, etc. I dont know what the information you are trying to display is, but I would generally recommend (without knowing the actual specifics here) that you should, as I initially suggested, do this grouping on the server side. This is the kind of work that servers are suposed to do. There is no reason the simpler functions cant also be accessible to the client or to other objects on the server, but if you have a complicated function that builds on a variety of queries that is almost always done on the server side. Of course as I said, I dont know anything about cold fusion, so the mechanics of exactly how you do what I am talking about in CF is beyond me. But If you are doing a ton of massaging of data in the client, it is a sign that you server side code is not delivering high level enough information.

My backend is ColdFusion and I have created Flex remote objects to several CFCs that each correspond to a separate business object (not necessarily one table). For example, I have an employeeGateway.cfc who's methods all pertain to employees (e.g. readEmployeeById(), readEmployeeByUsername(), addEmployeePermission()). From what I understand I have to set up a remote object connection to each CFC that I want to talk to. Although I could create a single CFC to group together lookup table queries I prefer to keep them in their distinct CFCs to allow for future methods related to those objects. Does this clear things up at all or am I still way off? Thanks again for your help! Steve On 12/5/06, hank williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Steve, You definitely shoud not have a business delegate for every lookup table. I dont really understand the detail of what you explained in your email, but communications between a client and a server should never be as granular as mapping just directly to a table. Think of communications with a server as asking high level questions like, who are my top spending customers this month. This might require access to several tables. This calculation work should be done on the server and the results should then be delivered from the server to the client. The client should generally not be taking the results of several table searches and intersecting, joining, merging or anything of the sort. That is really server side work.

I will look into the MacroCommand though. As far as the 6 different datasources, it is not. Perhaps this is incorrect, but I have a business delegate for each lookup table and a service (remote object) for each Coldfusion component that I am talking to. For example: My EVENT_LOAD_CONTROL_PANEL executes the LoadControlPanelDataCommand The LoadControlPanelDataCommand fires the EVENT_READ_ALL_QUEUES (and 5 other events) The EVENT_READ_ALL_QUEUES executes the ReadAllQueuesCommand The ReadAllQueuesCommand creates a QueueDelegate and executes QueueDelegate.readAllQueues() The QueueDelegate creates an instance of the ServiceLocator and executes .getRemoteObject(queueService) The queueService is configures in Services.mxml as mx:RemoteObject id=queueService destination=ColdFusion source=CF.queueHandler showBusyCursor=true result=event.token.resultHandler( event ); fault=event.token.faultHandler( event );/ Does this make sense Thanks, Steve --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com, Douglas McCarroll [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Steve, I'm going to take a stab at this as I've been studying the Command pattern (as defined in GoF) and Cairngorm lately.

I think that the answer here is you don't. :-) Cairngorm has a SequenceCommand which has: public var nextEvent : CairngormEvent; You can then call its executeNextCommand() from your result() method which launches

The Number type can't store the value 3.8 exactly, because as a binary fraction it would require an infinite number of bits. You're getting the Number closest to 3.8. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 2:12 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] ActionsScript 3 Cookbook Companion Classes: Number Utilities Bug Wow, the description says that this number will be rounded up to the next decimal point: trace (NumberUtilities.round(3.75,.1)); .1, being the flag to round up, so the result should be 3.8. It's not it's: 3.8003! I know I'm using this method correctly, any tips or suggestions. Thanks, Patrick
