2007-01-11 Thread Kevin

thanks.  I got it working.  I hadn't downloaded the most recent Flash  
Player Plugin for Intel macs:


http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

then in order to get the Firefox Flash Tracer (https:// 
addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3469/) working I had to enter the exact  
file path in the options window in Flash Tracer:


Macintosh HD:Users: 
{yourusername}:Library:Preferences:Macromedia:Flash  
Player:Logs:flashlog.txt


After entering this I had to close and reopen the side bar before I  
got any traces to appear in the tracer window.


All is good now.  I hope this help any other having this issue.

[flexcoders] AC Observe Tag

2007-01-11 Thread Bjorn Schultheiss


More or less this post is a question.

With regards to the use of Adobe Consulting's Observe utility i'm not  
getting the expected result.


I've got some simple code where i wish to execute a function when a  
value gets set via binding.

When i create my Observe instance the value has not yet been set.

The unexpected result is that,
1. The callbackHandler gets fired immediately after i set  
observe.handler, even though the value i have set to observe.source  
is == null
2. The callbackHandler is not getting called when the value does get  
set.


Here's my code anyway.

private function init():void
{
var ac:Observe = new Observe();
ac.source = distribMap_model.templateSwfAsset;
ac.handler = playTemplatePreview;
}

private function playTemplatePreview(e:*):void
{
trace('playTemplatePreview');
}

private var model:AMModelLocator = AMModelLocator.getInstance();
[Bindable]
private var distribMap_model:DistribMappingModel =  
model.tc_model.distribMap_model;

Re: [flexcoders] Anyone Using a Remote CF Server with Flex 2, Remoting?

no way!  I thought that was for webservices or REST calls only.
Interesting, So I can have a SWF served from server A that connects to
server B via remoteobject if server B has a crossdomain file?   So, do I
need to compile against a services-config.xml that has the URI hardcoded to
server B to do this?

I think you need to ask for resultFormat="e4x".
 
Then try tracing out data.toXMLString() to see what XML you're getting.
I can't remember whether you'd do data.a.b.c or data.b.c. (I think the
top-level element  may BE the data.)
 
There's no point in using .. instead of . between b and c. If you want

[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 + Weblogic 9.2 + Spring 2.0 issue

2007-01-11 Thread Ramos Cardona Jesus Salvador


I know this issue does not quite belong here, but since it is a flex-related 
issue, I thought I'd post to see if anyone has experience this.
We developed a webapp that used Flex 1.5 for the presentation tier, and Spring 
1.2.8 for the business tier. Such app was to be deployed on Weblogic 9.2. 
Everything worked fine until we started migrating our Spring config to version 
2.0.1. The effort was pretty much straight-forward, and all Spring xml config 
files were left untouched, save for the schema declaration on all files, and 
some AOP namespaces.

Note first that, due to its nature, webapps built on Flex 1.5 and deployed in 
any version of Weblogic have to be deployed in expanded wars.

Once the migration was complete, we tried to deploy the webapp to the very same 
environment we previously had it up and running, and this exception was thrown:
Code:

Well, I am sure if I comment out the  in the
top level application, that the warnings go away. 

Is it possible that the compiler is being overly picky, and only
allows literally  as the root element, and not some
class dervived from mx:Application? I know in the past that Flex made
mx:Application "more equal" than other classes, such that the debugger
wouldnt' recognize subclasses of it as being legitimate top level
application classes.

RE: [flexcoders] "arguments" class?

I'm not sure, but 'arguments' is considered old-fashioned. In AS3 you
should use
 
function f(param1:int, param2:String, ... rest)
 
rest has type Array. You don't have to use the name 'rest'.

The Flex 2/AS3 docs make it appear that "arguments" is both a
variable, as well as a class. Can anyone clarify this for me? If I
want to store "arguments" away for later usage, what type should I
specify (apart from Array, which I *think* will work, tho given that
there's not a type inheritance relationship there, it may not)?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Lexical scoping of variable declarations not working?

This is just a warning, not an error. In flex-config.xml you can turn off any 
warning that you don't like.
 
I believe the ECMA committee is considering adding "let" for defining 
block-scoped vars:
 
if (flag)
{
let x:Number = 3;
}
else
{
let x:Number = 4;
}

I've been going with using option A (with "as") mainly because calling

How are you populating the datagrid?

If it's from some sort of array, then you should be able to add those values
to the array and it will show up at the bottom.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Compiling modules

2007-01-11 Thread Roger Gonzalez

ModuleLoader is a kind of strange API that is really just intended to
look like SwfLoader for modules that contain a single visual component,
and hides most of the module loading infrastructure, which is all about
class factories.
 
What I mean by "only loaded once" is that if you have several places in
the code that call the ModuleManager.getModule("url").load() call, it
will only ever get loaded over the wire and interpreted once, subsequent
"loads" will just re-dispatch pseudo-load events to the new client.  In
other words, the class factory is a singleton for a given url.
 
Unloading is a totally different story.  As you note, not everything is
truly unloadable, because there may be lots of references to stuff in
the module that will keep it alive and un-GC'ed.
 
I suggest playing with the low-level API so that you understand the
backing implementation, and this should help you understand the limits
of ModuleLoader.

Hello Roger, you told below that they only ever get loaded once.
This "loaded" mean loaded in memory or loaded by transferring over the
wire?

I've made tests between Modules and SWFLoader, specifically
about memory consumption. In one of them, I called loadModule() and
unloadModule() several times (loading the same module, of course), and
the memory only increases! I think this is the expected (although not
the willed) behavior (as is in the SWFLoader) since Flash Player can't
really kill (and free the memory) a DisplayObject. It would be a hard
work to remove all the references of the loaded application's objects
(without talking about the Flex framework per se) to elect they to GC.

If they require user information then have them look to the shell for

And Also, I can't really see any real difference

I can't think of any reason why you would want to do this.

Modules are class factories, not instances.

You will create an instance of the class baked into the module, and then
the application can pass those parameters to the instance.

Thanks for the examples.

Question... if you are passing parameters to a module I assume your url
syntax is the same as a SWFLoader (myswf.swf?foo=bar) ... but module has
no parameter property? How do access passed parameters to a module?

I have also experienced a slow-down, as well as new instability when the 
same source code is opened in multiple projects. It seems to help if you 
close one of the projects you are working on. 

In general, I have found the 2.0.1 IDE to be less stable than 2.0, and I 
am consdering switching back to 2.0, and just using the 2.0.1 framework 
code.

Hi Greg,

Hmmm... I registered alltogo.com last weekend. It was de-registered in
December. did check its previous content which was the usual directory

What tells you its content categorization?

In the meantime you could try accessing it through a proxy such as

Thanks for letting me know I'll investigate further.

[flexcoders] Re: Anyone Using a Remote CF Server with Flex 2, Remoting?

I have resolved this issue. I got Flex 2 working with a remote CF
server.

I learned two things:

1) services-config.xml must be configured with the domain name that you
are using, without {context-root} in the path. Here is an example:

The default is this:
http://{server.name}:{server.port}{context.root}/flex2gateway/";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> - this works when CF
Server is local.

http://www.[yourdomainhere].com/flex2gateway/";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> - this works with a
remote CF Server.

http://www.[yourdomainhere].com{context.root}/flex2gateway/";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> - this doesn't work with
IIS and a remote CF server.

2) When you Run your app again, and it loads into a new tab in Firefox,
it's bizarre, but it was still loading a cached version of the app. I
had to push the refresh button to get the updated file to run. I started
playing with the text I used on the button in my HelloWorld app. My
changes did not show until I refreshed it. Close the tab, Run the app
again in FB2, tab in Firefox opens automatically - it's the cached
version again, refresh it - ah there's the changes. I had so many tabs
open in my browser, the window never got closed once. Some of my config
changes never had a chance to work, because I didn't refresh after a new
tab would open. It's frustrating, but now that I know, I can deal with
it.

Thanks to everyone for offering suggestions. I appreciate the responses.

Happy coding,

Jim

Me too--in my case I get it right when my application loads (and the

after restarts, but inevitably comes back again. This definitely

[flexcoders] TextInput change evevnt and databinding: Is this a bug?

2007-01-11 Thread David Harris

Hi,

Has any else found this?

The TextInput has a "change" event, which according to the docs
"Dispatched when text in the TextInput control changes through user
input or data binding. This event does not occur if you use
ActionScript code to change the text."

The bit that seems broken is that it is NOT dispatched when databinding is used.

Try running the below app and see what you get:

The second TextInput has a change event that traces "I Changed", and
from my understanding of the docs it should fire when TextInput "one"
is updated, as a biniding is used between the 2 TextInputs.

With my testing it is only tracing out then up enter text in to the
"two" and on the "one"

I am on Flex 2.0.1...

PS: why is the datatype "int" lower case, as most (all) others start
with a capital?
EG: public var someInt:int = new int(); public var someString:Sting =
new String();

RE: [flexcoders] Anyone Using a Remote CF Server with Flex 2, Remoting?

2007-01-11 Thread Stefan Richter

I had similar trouble:
http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2006/11/11/flex2remoting
 
Read all the comments before you try anything.
 
If I remember correctly I managed to use a remote CF box *without* having to
use any services-config file whatsoever (which is what I wanted to do).
I almost lost my mind back then... :-) Endpoint, config files,
destinations... hh how complicated does this look when you glance at the
docs?

You can avoid that restriction if you use a /crossdomain.xml file that
is hosted on the server you are remoting to and allows the domain from
which your swf is hosted to contact it.

AFAIK, the swf has to be served from the same box you remote to.

[flexcoders] Re: Anyone Using a Remote CF Server with Flex 2, Remoting?

Peter - thanks for the questions -

Yes I have a crossdomain.xml in the webroot. Here's what is in it:

http://www.adobe.com/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd";>




I'm a bit perplexed by the context-root requirements. Can you explain
to me what context-root is all about? I read the technote about it,
but I'm not getting that error - so I didn't think it applied to any
misconfiguration I might have.

One thing I can tell you that has me confused me a bit, it when using
the Multiserver option in Coldfusion, my webroot contains a CFIDE
directory and is completely separate from everything in the JRUN4
folder. Yet the valid root folder when configuring the Flex Project
leads me to: "J:\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war" So when you
speak of "context-root" are we talking about what's in the cfusion-war
folder or in my webroot?

My HelloFromColdfusion.html file is in my webroot along with the .swf
and everything else FlexBuilder2 put into the bin directory. The
Output folder for the Flex Project was pointed at my
wwwroot/flex2btb/flex directory. Maybe you can tell me if I need the
context root setting or not?

Thanks,
Jim

Re: [flexcoders] How do you load library symbols without embedding via SWFLoader?

2007-01-11 Thread Rick Schmitty

Just to follow up for anyone else trying this, I was able to reference
things via SWFLoader dynamically.  I had to drag the movie clip to the stage
and give it an instance name "ball_instance"  then in Flex I did
swfLoader.content.root["ball_instance"]["label_txt"].text="hello dynamic
world!";

I didnt have any success with getDefinitionByName with AS3Preview published
swfs.

Tried "ball_mc" "ball_instance" "ball_document_classname" and some
combinations of pathing to those "swfLoader.content.root.ball_mc" etc

Sorry! Your right I gave you the labelFunction. For the 
SortCompateFunction I had to capture the headerRelease event and 
store the column that was sorted.



private function sortHeader(event:DataGridEvent):void
{
columnToSort = event.dataField;
}

x[columnToSort] > y[columnToSort]

There is typically a padding around every container.. Either change this to

  Setting the horizontal scroll policy to auto produces 2 scroll bars.
  My datagrid is in a vbox (width=100% to fill the panel).  My
  datagrid's width is 100% to fill the vbox.

  When you set horizontal scroll policy to auto it creates a huge
  datagrid that will no longer fit into the vbox.  So now I get a scroll
  bar on the vbox.  To use the vertical scroll bar on the datagrid I
  need to scroll the vbox horizontal scroll bar all the way to the right.

  Still no fix for this problem.  Any thoughts.

  This is an image with the VBOX width = 100%, with the datagrid inside
  with a width=100%; the horizontal scroll policy is set to auto on the
  datagrid.

Hey,

Have you checked out quietly schemings chart explorer?  Check it out. 
Under customization there is a per column colors which allows you to

Fantastic, that did the trick.

[flexcoders] flashlog.txt Intel Mac?

2007-01-11 Thread Kevin

Has anyone gotten the flash logging working on an intel mac.  I have  
tried to numerous times and I can't seem to get it to write anything  
to the log file.  Wondering if this is something that others have had  
problems with or if this is just "user error".

thanks, Kevin

Hi Jake. I think you want something like this:
 
 

   
  
 
 

   
   
   
   
   

 
The actualToDate series has a custom renderer that examines the actual
and target and chooses its rendering color based on the heuristic you
outlined below.  See numerous posts to flexcoders and examples on my
blog (quietlyscheming.com) for how to do this.

BarChart?



I have a 100% BarChart that will have two bars, each with two peices:

Bar #1: Target sales goal for the year. 
Chunk 1: Based on today's date, where SHOULD the store be for
sales.
Chunk 2: Based on today's date, how much SHOULD they have left
to sell.

Bar #2: Actual sales for the year.
Chunk 1: Sales the store has actually accumulated.
Chunk 2: Sales remaining to meet their goal.

So, let's say the following facts:

1. The store has a $100,000 sales goal for the year. 
2. The fiscal year runs from Jan-Dec.
3. It is currently July (for the sake of example).
4. So far, the store has had $40,000 in sales.

My bars should have the following data:

Target: 
1st chunk: $50,000 ($100,000/12months * 6) (bar color: blue)
2nd chunk: $50,000 ($100,000 - 1st peice) (bar color: gray)

Actual:
1st chunk: $40,000 (bar color: SEE BELOW)
2nd chunk: $60,000 (bar color: always gray)

Now, what I want to change dynamically on this chart is the bar color
of the 1st peice from "Actual". For example, if the store is 20%
below where they should be for sales, I want the bar to be red. If
they are within 5%, make it yellow. Anything else and it's green.

However, the kicker here is that I want to leave the Target bar colors
alone. The only thing that I want to change is the Actual bar, 1st
chunk.

So, the question is: Within the same 100% bar chart, can you change
the color of a single chunk within a bar while leaving the rest alone?

Sorry for the long winded setup, but I hope that makes sense what I'm
trying to accomplish.

Thanks,

[flexcoders] Dynamic bar colors within same series for 100% BarChart?

2007-01-11 Thread j_sevlie

I have a 100% BarChart that will have two bars, each with two peices:

Bar #1: Target sales goal for the year.  
Chunk 1: Based on today's date, where SHOULD the store be for
sales.
Chunk 2: Based on today's date, how much SHOULD they have left
to sell.


Bar #2: Actual sales for the year.
Chunk 1: Sales the store has actually accumulated.
Chunk 2: Sales remaining to meet their goal.



So, let's say the following facts:

1. The store has a $100,000 sales goal for the year.  
2. The fiscal year runs from Jan-Dec.
3. It is currently July (for the sake of example).
4. So far, the store has had $40,000 in sales.

My bars should have the following data:

Target: 
1st chunk: $50,000 ($100,000/12months * 6)  (bar color: blue)
2nd chunk: $50,000 ($100,000 - 1st peice)   (bar color: gray)

Actual:
1st chunk: $40,000  (bar color: SEE BELOW)
2nd chunk: $60,000  (bar color: always gray)


Now, what I want to change dynamically on this chart is the bar color
of the 1st peice from "Actual".  For example, if the store is 20%
below where they should be for sales, I want the bar to be red.  If
they are within 5%, make it yellow.  Anything else and it's green.

However, the kicker here is that I want to leave the Target bar colors
alone.  The only thing that I want to change is the Actual bar, 1st chunk.

So, the question is:  Within the same 100% bar chart, can you change
the color of a single chunk within a bar while leaving the rest alone?

Sorry for the long winded setup, but I hope that makes sense what I'm
trying to accomplish.

RE: [flexcoders] Anyone Using a Remote CF Server with Flex 2, Remoting?

You can avoid that restriction if you use a /crossdomain.xml file that
is hosted on the server you are remoting to and allows the domain from
which your swf is hosted to contact it.

AFAIK, the swf has to be served from the same box you remote to.

Thanks Doug. FlexBuilder2 is putting all of the files in the
flex2btb/flex folder within my webroot. I configured the Flex
Project's Output Folder and Output folder URL, when I setup the
project. Still it's throwing that error. Any ideas? Are you using a
remote CF 7.0.2 Development server?

RE: [flexcoders] Anyone Using a Remote CF Server with Flex 2, Remoting?

1. Do you have a crossdomain.xml file in the webroot of the server
hosting the flex2gateway endpoint allowing access for SWFs loaded in
other domains?
 
2. I think you are relying on the default context root for your cold
fusion deployment, if so, try removing the {context-root} token out of
your channel-definition in services-config.xml (or alternatively provide
a value for the command line args -context-root "" )

Everything is default. CFMX 7.0.2 Multiserver on IIS DevNet Edition for

This is as basic as it gets - I am trying to get a HelloWorld app (from

to help resolve my issue.

In my HelloFromColdfusion.mxml file is the following code:

Re: [flexcoders] Anyone Using a Remote CF Server with Flex 2, Remoting?

2007-01-11 Thread Patrick Mineault

It's your services-config.xml that is off. Try using this:










*







http://localhost/amfphp/gateway.php"; 
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>




Set destination to 'amfphp' and 'endpoint' to your ColdFusion endpoint 
in the RemoteObject tag. Then you can change the 'amfphp' names to 
'coldFusion' if it bothers you ;)

Make sure your swf files / extensions are marked as binary in CVS. It 
could be that its checking it in as ascii, which might explain the file

DUDE! what the heck ?

You must have copied out the labelFunction... thats not
sortCompareFunction... it definitely requires two objects to compare!

Your example implementation even does a simple number format =)

Nice try though.

[flexcoders] How to get height of a Panel's controlBar?

2007-01-11 Thread zzwi89

I am creating a RectangularBorder class which I plan on using with a
Panel object. I am drawing the controlbar so it does not take up the
full width of the panel (it looks sort of like a tab) and so I need to
know the specific height of the controlbar. Unforunately, it does not
seem that I can even read this property outside of the Panel class.
Anyone have some tips as to how I'd go about this?

RE: [flexcoders] New to Flex - dynamic text in mx:Label?

Yes.  An inline renderer creates a sub-component, with its own scope, and it 
does not have direct access to its parent scope.  Use

outerDocument.statusToImage()

 

See this for details:

Hi, Alex.

Tried your example. It works. %)

However, maybe what you need is something like this:

[Bindable]
protected function get someText() : String {
return _someText;
}

protected function set someText(value : String) : void {
_someText = statusToImage(value);
}

private var _someText : String;

and:

 

This seems pretty flexible to me.

Well, I am sure if I comment out the  in the
top level application, that the warnings go away. 

Is it possible that the compiler is being overly picky, and only
allows literally  as the root element, and not some
class dervived from mx:Application? I know in the past that Flex made
mx:Application "more equal" than other classes, such that the debugger
wouldnt' recognize subclasses of it as being legitimate top level
application classes.

[flexcoders] Filters with DataGrid - Excel

I am also looking for this functionality.  About a month ago I came
across this page
 .  It is a sample of a datagrid whose headers have a drop down
list to filter each field/column on.  Unfortuneately it was developed in
Flex 1.5.  Has anyone converted it to Flex 2.0?  If so, this is the
answer we all are looking for.

If someone can copy that source code and eliminate the compiler errors
you will be doing several of us a huge favor!

Thanks
