[flexcoders] ObserveValue, and how to reference within AS3 Class File
Hello All,
I am trying to figure out how to use the ObserveValue Component, when I
use it inside of a Class File.
In all the examples I've seen, they all utilize the Class File as a MXML
Component - and when I use it in this manner, it works just fine.
BUT, I really need to use this inside my Class Files - and as far as I
can tell, I should be able to import the Class File, and create a new
variable - casting it as an ObserveValue() - but when I use it this way,
nothing happens.
Per the examples, here is the proper use of the file:
ac:ObserveValue
id=valueObserver
source={ model.myVarToBeWatched }
handler=valueObserverHandler
value=true/
Now, I'd like to use it using pure ActionScript - and here's what I got
so far: (keep in mind, the AS Class File below, is extending the Control
in which it belongs to - and rest assured, that I am placing all the
appropriate code within all the proper Event Listeners, like
onCreationComplete, etc.) I am just keeping it simple, for this
particular post.
package
{
import com.adobe.ac.*;
class myClass extends Panel
{
private var myObserve:ObserveValue = new ObserveValue();
[Bindable]
public var model:ApplicationModel =
ApplicationModel.getInstance();
public function myClass():void
{
initObservers();
}
private function initObservers():void
{
myObserve.source = model.myVarToBeWatched;
myObserve.handler = valueObserverHandler;
myObserve.value = true;
}
private function valueObserverHandler( event:Event
):void
{
trace( it worked );
}
}
}
In my real code, I wait for the Creation Complete Event, before I
initialize all of my Event Listeners, etc. So you can assume that my
real code, is properly setup.
My real question here is, when creating component written purely in AS3,
can they be used either way - like as an inline Component in MXML, or if
you choose, referenced within an AS3 Package? I don't see why not,
since MXML Controls are all just Class Files anyway...
So I just wanted to know if somebody could shed some light on what I'm
doing wrong, or if the ObserveValue Class just wasn't designed to be
used in this manner.
Thanks in advance for all your help,
Mike
[flexcoders] problem with DataGridListData
Hi,
I am facing a problem when I initialise DataGridListData class in

Hi Janis
Your component looks very different from a common Flex component. Flex
components follow a certain structure to create sub instances and update
their ui. I don't remember the url, but i think you can find some
introductory tutorials about Flex component development at Adobe's website.
Good luck,
Ralf.

Hey people!
I already tried to ask in here but no one answered, then I tried
flashcoders list and no solution in there as well, so I'm trying one more
time, maybe someone can explain where is my problem.
I'm trying to make some pretty simple UI component in Flex and it
seems like I'm missing something.
I think I've read everything I could but I cannt find what is it I'm
missing, maybe someone on this list knows wheres the problem.
So what I am doing is:
1. I create some pretty simple MXML project just for test with this
content
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx= http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
xmlns:myComp=components.* layout=absolute
myComp:TestComponent/myComp:TestComponent
/mx:Application
Pretty simple.
xmlns:myComp=components.* defines that components can be found in
folder named components in root of project, where I have this file
TestComponent.as with following content
package components {
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import mx.controls.Image;
import flash.display.Shape;
public class TestComponent extends UIComponent {
private var imageInstance:Image = null;
public function TestComponent() {
super();
imageInstance = new Image();
imageInstance.source = icon.gif;
addChild(imageInstance);
trace(TestComponent initialized!);
var shape:Shape = new Shape();
shape.graphics.beginFill(0xFF);
shape.graphics.drawCircle(50,50,25);
addChild(shape);
}
}
}
icon.gif is bitmap stored in root folder of project.
Seems like pretty stright forward and theres nothing to break, but it
isnt so. Shape appears, which make me think that component instance is
initialized and placed in display list.
But I really have bad luck with creating mx.controls.Image i think I
tried everything with no luck.
There must be something I'm missing, but I have no idea what is it :)
Oh, and when I tried to extend some component directly it works, seems
like thers no blank components for me!
Any help will be apreciated!

[flexcoders] Loading assets with inheritance issue ** UPDATE**
... and I thought I was done with that issue :)... It just popped back again today during development. Let me recap what happened : I have a shell application, that loads at runtime other swfs that contain classes which all extend and implement the same superclass and interface. So far, everything's ok. Now, I need some of these classes (that are in the loaded swf) to load external data, such as other swfs, images, videos etc. The loaded swf is local, but the external data is, well, external (i.e. on another server, domain, etc)... Which, as you might guess, make me run into a sandbox violation issue (error #2028 : local swf can't load stuff from http://...) Since I'm in development and working with local files, I can't seem to set the securitydomain of the loaded swf's via LoaderContext (error #2142)... So I thought ok, nevermind, I'll temporarily allow the local files inside my development folder to access remote data. That solves the sandbox issue, but, to my surprise, it made my old inheritance issue pop up at the surface again... So... I'm pretty much clueless here... How would one solve this, and have an application loading local swf files containing shared classes (via LoaderContext.applicationDomain), that in turn load external swfs? thanks a lot for any help, terribly appreciated !:) cheers, J.

For example, the ModelLocator- and FrontController-derived classes would need to allow values and commands to be dynamically added and removed as modules are loaded and unloaded.

Hi Jeff,
I tried your code but it didn't help. The Javadocs gives a little

Maybe the fill refreshes before the item created is commited so it
refreshes with the same data?

Try changing your code to:
DataServiceTransaction dtx =

You also don't want the dtx.commit() in there. The basic problem is
that when your createItem call is made, the current transaction is
still
open (i.e. not committed). In this case, you want to do the
refreshFill
in the new (i.e. the current) transaction. If you create your own
new
one, it will refresh the fill but before the current change has been

number of threads in it.
In my ThreadDS destination I retrieve a list of threads in a
category. This works fine. When I create a new thread I want the
CategoryDS to refill itself so the thread count is updated:
// in my thread assembler
public void createItem(Object newVersion)
{
...
DataServiceTransaction dtx = DataServiceTransaction.begin(false);
dtx.refreshFill(CategoryDS, null);
dtx.commit();
}
Unfortunately this does not work :(
When I manually refresh the counter is updated. Am I missing
something in my code? I can post mxml source or config source if
needed.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Compiling problems
I also solve my problem by recreating the swf files. I rename my main app class and set it as default file. This way the needed files are recreated in the bin folder. It's a hassle but I'm gonna look into your tip of using: FlexBuilder -clean -vmargs -Xmx512m
[flexcoders] Re: Setting the backgroundcolor of a canvas with a function - Newbie alert
Hi use uint for colors like getColor(swift:uint):uint
The uint class is primarily useful for pixel color values (ARGB and
RGBA) and other situations where the int data type does not work
well. For example, the number 0x, which represents the color
value white with an alpha value of 255, can't be represented using
the int data type because it is not within the valid range of the int
values.

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm support for Flex 2.0.1 modules?
My team is currently in the process of developing a large modular Flex
application that is based on Cairngorm and uses the mx:Modules.
We put the Cairngorm framework and all 'core' classes (ie Controller,
ModelLocator, ValueObject, centralized Commands) into a Flex Library.
Each module was setup as a separate Flex project along with a shell
project that was responsible for loading the modules and creating the
basic shell application. Each of the modules accessed the 'core'
classes as an RSL during development and then the option was set to
'external' for deployment to reduce file size and duplication. The
shell used the 'include' compiler option to compile the entire 'core'
library into the shell so that all classes where available for the
modules. Each module ran a method upon loading that would register any
module specific Commands with the FrontController and register for any
events, etc.
The one thing that was quite tricky was uncoupling binding from the
ModelLocator during module unloads. Using the {} method in the
property attribute of a control (ie mx:DataGrid
dataProvider={model.shoppingList}/) does not allow you to uncouple
the binding at a later time, which prevents garbage collection.
Instead we had to use the BindingUtils and then call a method just
before unloading a module to remove the bindings, then the module
could be properly unloaded and garbage collected. Also we had to make
sure we used weak reference event listeners in order to ensure garbage
collection would properly occur on the unloaded modules.
Hope that information helps you out.

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm Duplicate Remote Object Return Events
I'm not sure a singleton delegate would do the trick - and then you might have threading issues - right? I'm kind of suspicious of the fact that the RO instances are being persisted in the singleton ServiceLocator. It's those RO instances' methods that are getting listeners attached to them. I'm going to try a couple of things - one is to explictly remove the event listener when the result comes over the wire. I've determined this - the remote object is invoked only once outgoing from Flex. It is the duplicate result events that are happening. One way to work around this would be to add a unique token to the rpc call as described in the Flex docs (search ACT in the Flex Dev guide) and only execute your return code when the token matches the one coming over the wire. I'm going to experiment with that as well.

I wonder if the delegate should actually be set up as a Singleton so that multiple instances of the delegate weren't floating around cathing the events every time. This way, you could guarantee that only one instance was being used. Just a thought. I don't have the code in front of me, but if you're reinstanciating the delegate every time the command is called, then this could explain it. Try setting a breakpoint in your delegate and look at the memory address for this and see if it's changing each time the delegate's called.

I finished doing this a week ago if you are interested ... On my first attempt, I used the browsers onUnload event to call a service in the swf, but this did not work. Apparently the object in the DOM is not available to the javascript when browser begins unloading (ie6). My solution was to make an AJAX call to a jsp, upon onUnload, which in turn called the appropriate java service to log the user out.

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm Duplicate Remote Object Return Events
OK, so maybe having a Singleton delegate wouldn't be a good idea. Here's a bit more I've found on the topic. I put a breakpoint at the Command result method and found that the address location for the commands were changing. So, essentially, the commands are being persisted which in turn are persisting new instances of the delegate and the event listeners that are a part of those delegates. Removing the event listener in the delegate first won't work because the memory locations of the responder (the command) are changing. Essentially, every time you create a new cairngorm event, you will create new instances of the delegate and then the event listeners, so the same result will fire the event listeners multiple times when you've created multiple cairngorm events. That's at least my take on the issue. I have an app where I'm trying to perform a LoginEvent and I noticed that every time I hit the Login button, I was creating a new LoginEvent and so the more I tried to login, the more results I was getting back. I tried making the LoginEvent a private var on the view, and that seemed to work the first time, but after that it wasn't passing the user data anymore. Not sure what that's about. I don't like this fix because it would mean that there's only one instance of each of the cairngorm events in the whole app. On 1/16/07, Battershall, Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not sure a singleton delegate would do the trick - and then you might have threading issues - right?

Mark, Interesting discussion - interesting problem. BTW, I don't think these return events are really 'duplicates' per se, but repeats of the earlier return events.

Here's a bit more I've found on the topic. I put a breakpoint at the Command result method and found that the address location for the commands were changing. So, essentially, the commands are being persisted which in turn are persisting new instances of the delegate and the event listeners that are a part of those delegates. Removing the event listener in the delegate first won't work because the memory locations of the responder (the command) are changing. Essentially, every time you create a new cairngorm event, you will create new instances of the delegate and then the event listeners, so the same result will fire the event listeners multiple times when you've created multiple cairngorm events. That's at least my take on the issue. I have an app where I'm trying to perform a LoginEvent and I noticed that every time I hit the Login button, I was creating a new LoginEvent and so the more I tried to login, the more results I was getting back. I tried making the LoginEvent a private var on the view, and that seemed to work the first time, but after that it wasn't passing the user data anymore. Not sure what that's about. I don't like this fix because it would mean that there's only one instance of each of the cairngorm events in the whole app. On 1/16/07, Battershall, Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not sure a singleton delegate would do the trick - and then you might have threading issues - right? I'm kind of suspicious of the fact that the RO instances are being persisted in the singleton ServiceLocator. It's those RO instances' methods that are getting listeners attached to them. I'm going to try a couple of things - one is to explictly remove the event listener when the result comes over the wire. I've determined this - the remote object is invoked only once outgoing from Flex. It is the duplicate result events that are happening.

[flexcoders] Hyperlinks in text that call a function, not a URL
I am trying to add dialog boxes to my app that contain help text. The user clicks something in the UI, and the dialog pops up. In it, there will be some text that says, for example This value is found by multiplying a net income of $2,000,000 by a growth rate of 7.5%. I want to make the numbers $2,000,000 and 7.5% to look like hyperlinks, so that when a user clicks them, the text in the text area changes to explain how those numbers were arrived at. I thought of making the whole text area respond to a click event, but in many cases I will have two or three links, which would mean two or three different text blocks that should appear. If the whole text area responds to a click event, I do not know how to tell what link the user clicked. I also tried using Anchor tags in htmlText, but those want to link to a URL or another anchor. Ideally, I would like to specify a link in the text that calls a function, so I can tell what link was clicked and then change the text in the dialog accordingly. Is there any way to do this, add a link to a function in my code, rather than a URL? Thanks, Pete
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder 2.0.1 the update !
Do you have embeded fonts in your application?
I was experiencing the same slowdown after upgrading to flex 2.0.1. I
had 2.0 installed, updated to 2.0.1, then ran the clean command prior
to opening flex. It was still slow.
Saw the blog about closing projects, closed everything but the one I'm
working on, still slow
Deleted all projects and created a blank application, super fast.
Ok... so must be something in my project... started hacking away at
the files until I came down to the fonts.
This took almost 20seconds (on my machine) to compile
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
mx:Style
@font-face {
src: url(/assets/fonts/ARIAL.TTF);
fontFamily: myArial;
}
@font-face {
src: url(/assets/fonts/BKANT.TTF);
fontFamily: myBkant;
}
@font-face {
src: url(/assets/fonts/TAHOMA.TTF);
fontFamily: myTahoma;
}
@font-face {
src: url(/assets/fonts/TIMES.TTF);
fontFamily: myTimes;
}
@font-face {
src: url(/assets/fonts/TREBUC.TTF);
fontFamily: myTrebuc;
}
/mx:Style
/mx:Application
Deleting the style tag for a blank appliaction, it compiled immediately 1-1.5sec
Here is what's going on (or so I think)
FlashType support
FlashType is the text rendering engine introduced in Flash Player 8.
It improves the readability of text, especially at smaller font sizes.
To leverage the FlashType engine in Flex 2, you had to create a SWF
that embedded a particular font using the Flash authoring tool, and
then embed that SWF file in your Flex application. With Flex 2.0.1,
the mxmlc compiler can now embed a font using the FlashType engine
directly, eliminating a step for many developers.
So I'm back to running fast as long as I dont embed fonts via css,
I'll reenable it when I need to publish a working version (or look
into creating the SWF file on my own and not use CSS)

Re: [flexcoders] How do you capture the browser's onclose event in Flex 2.0?
In general, relying on a browsers onunload (or similar) event is not reliable. You could use a presence server or polling on the server side to detect when the client is no longer available. I've been doing some testing with XIFF and WildFire recently, and it seems to detect pretty quickly when the logged in user is no longer available when the user closes the Flex app. Just my 2 cents.

[flexcoders] Re: ObserveValue, and how to reference within AS3 Class File
Hi Mike,
Observe and ObserveValue have been designed to work with MXML binding
only. The curly braces in the source and handler properties are being
treated differently by the MXML compiler than just simple ActionScript
assingments as you do in your example. Therefore, the current
implementation relies on the MXML compiler and cannot be used in
ActionScript.
However, I'd be intersted in why you want to use data binding in an
ActionScript environment (for your ActionScript model or utility
classes). In my experience, using a pure EventDispatcher is easier to
write and most importantly to read (especially for other developer,
potentially coming from other technologies). Just let your class
dispatch a custom event when something important happens. Or if you
cannot do that easily, listen to the propertyChange event of Bindable
properties.
Best,
Alex

Hello All,
I am trying to figure out how to use the ObserveValue Component, when I
use it inside of a Class File.
In all the examples I've seen, they all utilize the Class File as a MXML
Component - and when I use it in this manner, it works just fine.
BUT, I really need to use this inside my Class Files - and as far as I
can tell, I should be able to import the Class File, and create a new
variable - casting it as an ObserveValue() - but when I use it this way,
nothing happens.
Per the examples, here is the proper use of the file:
ac:ObserveValue
id=valueObserver
source={ model.myVarToBeWatched }
handler=valueObserverHandler
value=true/
Now, I'd like to use it using pure ActionScript - and here's what I got
so far: (keep in mind, the AS Class File below, is extending the Control
in which it belongs to - and rest assured, that I am placing all the
appropriate code within all the proper Event Listeners, like
onCreationComplete, etc.) I am just keeping it simple, for this
particular post.
package
{
import com.adobe.ac.*;
class myClass extends Panel
{
private var myObserve:ObserveValue = new ObserveValue();
[Bindable]
public var model:ApplicationModel =
ApplicationModel.getInstance();
public function myClass():void
{
initObservers();
}
private function initObservers():void
{
myObserve.source = model.myVarToBeWatched;
myObserve.handler = valueObserverHandler;
myObserve.value = true;
}
private function valueObserverHandler( event:Event
):void
{
trace( it worked );
}
}
}
In my real code, I wait for the Creation Complete Event, before I
initialize all of my Event Listeners, etc. So you can assume that my
real code, is properly setup.
My real question here is, when creating component written purely in AS3,
can they be used either way - like as an inline Component in MXML, or if
you choose, referenced within an AS3 Package? I don't see why not,
since MXML Controls are all just Class Files anyway...
So I just wanted to know if somebody could shed some light on what I'm
doing wrong, or if the ObserveValue Class just wasn't designed to be
used in this manner.
Thanks in advance for all your help,
Mike

Subject: [flexcoders] Two ChartElement extension classes that catch
MouseDowns (Charting)
I have created two classes that extend ChartElement, one for zooming
and one for panning. Both work as wanted if applied separately to a
chart using the annotationElements. However, if I apply both only one
of the two will ever catch a MouseDown rather than both. I worked out
how to implement the classes in the first place by looking at the
InteractiveBubble example on the Quietly Scheming website
(http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/charts/interactive-bubble-chart/
http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/charts/interactive-bubble-chart/
).
The jist is that I have overridden the updateDisplayList(..) function
with the following to ensure the Pan or Zoom catches the mouse event:
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void
{
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight);
graphics.clear();
graphics.moveTo(0,0);
graphics.beginFill(0,0);
graphics.drawRect(0,0,unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight);
}
Clearly the problem I am having when I have two classes using this
same technique being used at the same time is because one of the
rectangles is on top of the other.
I realise that combining the pan and zoom into a single class, as is
done in the Quietly Scheming example, would solve the problem but it
is not appropriate for my intensions.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a clean solution?

RE: [flexcoders] Code behind- do you use it?
The 32k problem in 1.5 forced me into using helper classes very early on. Still, though, I often develop in a script block, then later move the functionality to its own class. Typically, functions that need to updte the ui directly stay in the script block, and pure functions go in the class. Its not a hard rule, and I sometimes pass a reference to the needed scope into a helper class in order to manipulate the ui there.

I've been thinking about asking the same question, all of the samples out there seem to embed the actionscript in MXML, however the code behind scenario seems more like a best practice approach.

This way, you could guarantee that only one instance was being used. Just a thought. I don't have the code in front of me, but if you're reinstanciating the delegate every time the command is called, then this could explain it.

the mxmlc compiler can now embed a font using the FlashType engine
directly, eliminating a step for many developers.
So I'm back to running fast as long as I dont embed fonts via css,

RE: [flexcoders] Chart Series added programmatically don't display
That's usually an indiciation that the chart is correctly using the series, but for some reason the series isn't part of the chart's display tree. The most common case for this is if you try and put the same series in two different charts. They'll both behave like they contain the series, but flash only allows a DisplayObject to appear in a single spot in the tree, so it will only show up in one of the two charts. Ely.

I know I can do this in AJAX with more mainstream technologies and the Flex marketplace is very small compared to its competitors. 1) Why choose Flex as opposed to developing in .NET? (Please save the evil empire stuff :-) How important is a JAVA background to becoming a good Flex programmer? What other technologies should a Flex programmer know? 2) Since Flex emerged in 2004, what type of experience are Flex hiring managers looking for (I find what I consider unrealistic position memos on the job sites, e.g. 10 years of Flex experience preferred …) and what's the best way to secure a position as a Flex programmer if your employer didn't decide this for you?

RE: [flexcoders] Custom axis drawing (charts)?
Hi Vigen. You can write your own custom axisRenderer if you like. I have an example that does that up on my blog at quietlyscheming.com (see the interactive bubble chart). You could theoretically subclass the default AxisRenderer and add to it, although that might get pretty hairy. Ely.

FlashType support
FlashType is the text rendering engine introduced in Flash Player
8.
It improves the readability of text, especially at smaller font
sizes.
To leverage the FlashType engine in Flex 2, you had to create a
SWF
that embedded a particular font using the Flash authoring tool,
and
then embed that SWF file in your Flex application. With Flex
2.0.1,
the mxmlc compiler can now embed a font using the FlashType engine
directly, eliminating a step for many developers.
So I'm back to running fast as long as I dont embed fonts via css,
I'll reenable it when I need to publish a working version (or look
into creating the SWF file on my own and not use CSS)

[flexcoders] .Net webservice and datagrid
I'm trying to receive XML data from a .Net webservice and populate a datagrid. I'm able to receive the XML data ok but I can't see anything in the datagrid. I attempted to manually duplicate the data returned and found that it has something to do with the moniker returned. Here is the XML returned from the webservice: searchCriteriaResult xmlns=http://mysite.com/; XrefData bukey1/bukey prKey14/prKey moKey-1/moKey spKey73/spKey tdKey47/tdKey /XrefData XrefData bukey1/bukey prKey14/prKey moKey15/moKey spKey73/spKey tdKey47/tdKey /XrefData /searchCriteriaResult If I manually create an XML object and bind it to my datagrid, I get the same result...nothing. However, if I remove the 'xmlns' attribute _or_ add a moniker (such as 'xmlns:Test=http://mysite.com;') it works fine. Anyone have any ideas? I'm completely stumped!!
Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm Duplicate Remote Object Return Events

It seems that cairngorm creates new instances of the delegate/event listeners etc every time, maybe there is a way to find a unique reference for them that you can use to filter out the extra events? but I guess that still creates a memory problem and the application will get slow after a while, something that would easily happen in a chatroom application for example.. question is: how does someone kill these event listeners with cairngorm?

Here's a bit more I've found on the topic. I put a breakpoint at the Command result method and found that the address location for the commands were changing. So, essentially, the commands are being persisted which in turn are persisting new instances of the delegate and the event listeners that are a part of those delegates. Removing the event listener in the delegate first won't work because the memory locations of the responder (the command) are changing. Essentially, every time you create a new cairngorm event, you will create new instances of the delegate and then the event listeners, so the same result will fire the event listeners multiple times when you've created multiple cairngorm events. That's at least my take on the issue. I have an app where I'm trying to perform a LoginEvent and I noticed that every time I hit the Login button, I was creating a new LoginEvent and so the more I tried to login, the more results I was getting back. I tried making the LoginEvent a private var on the view, and that seemed to work the first time, but after that it wasn't passing the user data anymore. Not sure what that's about. I don't like this fix because it would mean that there's only one instance of each of the cairngorm events in the whole app. On 1/16/07, Battershall, Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not sure a singleton delegate would do the trick - and then you might have threading issues - right? I'm kind of suspicious of the fact that the RO instances are being persisted in the singleton ServiceLocator. It's those RO instances' methods that are getting listeners attached to them. I'm going to try a couple of things - one is to explictly remove the event listener when the result comes over the wire. I've determined this - the remote object is invoked only once outgoing from Flex. It is the duplicate result events that are happening. One way to work around this would be to add a unique token to the rpc call as described in the Flex docs (search ACT in the Flex Dev guide) and only execute your return code when the token matches the one coming over the wire. I'm going to experiment with that as well. I think this may well be some sort of scoping issue caused by the level of abstraction that the Cairngorm framework stipulates. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Doberenz Sent: Monday, January

Re: [flexcoders] Code behind- do you use it?
I highly recommend it as well.
As a simple example, I might want to enhance the List component to
autoscroll to the selected item upon selection. Simply create a class
'AutoscrollList.as' that you can then use that class in your MXML
ui:AutoscrollList /. (code included below)
Like others, I don't use it when I add one or two UI centric functions
to a UI class.
Cheers,

package ui
{
import mx.controls.List;
public class AutoscrollList extends ExtendedList
{
override public function set selectedIndex( value:int ):void
{
super.selectedIndex = value;
scrollToSelected();
}
override public function set selectedItem( value:Object ):void
{
super.selectedItem = value;
scrollToSelected();
}
override public function set dataProvider( value:Object ) : void
{
super.dataProvider = value;
scrollToSelected();
}
public function scrollToSelected() : void
{
// TRICKY: Delay the invocation to avoid redraw bugs
starting in 2.0.1
if ( selectedIndex = 0 )
{
callLater( scrollToIndex, [ selectedIndex ] );
}
//this.scrollToIndex( selectedIndex );

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder no longer compiles
I also ran into these types of errors. Only thing that works for me is create a new main class and copy paste the code from the previous main class. Then I set the latest main class to the default application. This forces Flex Builder to recreate the swf files and it gets rid of the errors you described. Very annoying !

RE: [flexcoders] custom data tip in stacked bar chart
Hi Suri. THe totals for the items are stored as part of the grouping
series (i..e, the ColumnSet, BarSet, etc) in an internal variable called
totalsByPrimaryAxis. This variable is protected, so to access it you'll
need to write a custom extension to the class. It's a dictionary, where
the keys are values along the primary axis (the x axis for column/area,
y axis for bar), and the values are the total at that point.
If you look at ColumnSet.formatDataTip, you can see how the default data
tips are calculated. So you'll want to extend the series to provide
access to the item totals, and then use similar logic from that function
for your own datatips.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm support for Flex 2.0.1 modules?
I think the two actions Derrick mentions - to use BindingUtils to remove {}
bindings and to use weak reference listeners where possible - are the two key
techniques to limit memory / GC issues.
This is not only something to watch out for when loading/unloading Modules but
also when components get dynamically added/removed inside a Flex application.

Betreff: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm support for Flex 2.0.1 modules?
My team is currently in the process of developing a large modular Flex
application that is based on Cairngorm and uses the mx:Modules.
We put the Cairngorm framework and all 'core' classes (ie Controller,
ModelLocator, ValueObject, centralized Commands) into a Flex Library.
Each module was setup as a separate Flex project along with a shell
project that was responsible for loading the modules and creating the
basic shell application. Each of the modules accessed the 'core'
classes as an RSL during development and then the option was set to
'external' for deployment to reduce file size and duplication. The
shell used the 'include' compiler option to compile the entire 'core'
library into the shell so that all classes where available for the
modules. Each module ran a method upon loading that would register any
module specific Commands with the FrontController and register for any
events, etc.
The one thing that was quite tricky was uncoupling binding from the
ModelLocator during module unloads. Using the {} method in the
property attribute of a control (ie mx:DataGrid
dataProvider={model.shoppingList}/) does not allow you to uncouple
the binding at a later time, which prevents garbage collection.
Instead we had to use the BindingUtils and then call a method just
before unloading a module to remove the bindings, then the module
could be properly unloaded and garbage collected. Also we had to make
sure we used weak reference event listeners in order to ensure garbage
collection would properly occur on the unloaded modules.
Hope that information helps you out.

Re: [flexcoders] Code behind- do you use it?
Good poont. The example I gave is not exactly describing code-behind. I
would use the ui:AutoscrollList / within another VBox (e.g), not as a
top element.
Nevertheless, I do use code-behinds (using an Actionscript class as the
top element of an MXML component) at times, but usually more as an
abstract class where I expect there to be multiple subclasses, not as a
code-behind for a single class.

[flexcoders] Pie Chart Bug!? Weird Behavior....
Hi,
I have a pie chart (could have fooled be based on the output!) that is
being displayed incorrectly, as you can see below.
The datagrid view is correct:
Here is my mxml:
mx:PieChart id=pieDP showDataTips=true width=100% height=100%
dataProvider={_dpXMLList}
itemClick=explodeSlice(event.hitData.item)
doubleClickEnabled=true
itemDoubleClick=changeView(event.hitData.item)
dataTipFunction=formatDataTip
resizeEffect={resize}
mx:series
mx:Array
mx:PieSeries id=ps field=@totalDevices
nameField=@name
labelPosition=callout
labelFunction=getSliceLabel
showDataEffect={interpolate}
fills={pieColors}
/mx:PieSeries
/mx:Array
/mx:series
/mx:PieChart
Here is the result of tracing my dataProvider:
devicePool name=BACKUP2 totalDevices=0 totalRegDevices=0
srstReferenceDisable/srstReference
registeredPhones0/registeredPhones
registeredCTIPorts0/registeredCTIPorts
registeredGateways0/registeredGateways
registeredMediaDevices0/registeredMediaDevices
registeredVmailPorts0/registeredVmailPorts
totalPhones1/totalPhones
totalCTIPorts0/totalCTIPorts
totalGateways0/totalGateways
totalMediaDevices0/totalMediaDevices
totalVmailPorts0/totalVmailPorts
/devicePool
The piechart's dataProvider is set based on what leaf of a tree is
selected in another panel. My pie chart displays correctly for other
leafs, but this leaf always produces a 'broken' pie chart. I have
compared the chart's dataProvider values for other leafs selected and I
can't seem to figure out why this is breaking here.
Is this a bug in Flex Charting?

be picked up by QTP.
Just to be clear I don't need to add automationName to renderer as I
don't care about it but fields in itemrenderer have to have correct
automation name assigned so it gets picked up by QTP without
overwriting values.

You also don't want the dtx.commit() in there. The basic problem is
that when your createItem call is made, the current transaction is
still
open (i.e. not committed). In this case, you want to do the
refreshFill
in the new (i.e. the current) transaction. If you create your own

number of threads in it.
In my ThreadDS destination I retrieve a list of threads in a
category. This works fine. When I create a new thread I want the
CategoryDS to refill itself so the thread count is updated:
// in my thread assembler
public void createItem(Object newVersion)
{
...
DataServiceTransaction dtx = DataServiceTransaction.begin(false);
dtx.refreshFill(CategoryDS, null);
dtx.commit();
}
Unfortunately this does not work :(
When I manually refresh the counter is updated. Am I missing
something in my code? I can post mxml source or config source if
needed.
