[flexcoders] Flex Builder 2.0.1 vs Eclipse 3.2 Flex 2 Plug-in
Hi folks, Since the 2.0.1 update for Flex 2, just what features that can only be found on Eclipse 3.2 are you using that make life easier for you? Or is the Flex Builder 2 updated good enough? I haven't migrated my machine just yet so any thoughts as to which side is better to take are appreciated. Is it better to send in for the plug-in and exchange my CD or should I just go ahead and use the updater and keep with the Eclipse v3.1.2? Also I saw in the release notes that BEA Weblogic and one of the IBM Rational versions is supported with the plug-in. I personally haven't used either but I am evaluating MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench and wondered if anyone has tried the Flex Plug-in here. Thanks for the opinions, Robert
[flexcoders] Re: Rotate Datagrid Headers
Hi Dana,
A real easy way to do this would be to use a headerRenderer for the
DataGrid columns.
Inline:
mx:DataGrid id=dg height=300 width=300 headerHeight=60
dataProvider={ myDataProvider }
mx:columns
mx:Array
mx:DataGridColumn width=160 headerText=City
dataField=city
mx:headerRenderer
mx:Component
mx:VBox horizontalAlign=center
mx:Text
text={ this.data.headerText }
rotation=90
styleName=myEmbeddedFontStyleName/
/mx:VBox
/mx:Component
/mx:headerRenderer
/mx:DataGridColumn
/mx:Array
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
Or, if you want to reuse the headerRenderer, create a component:
mx:DataGrid id=dg height=300 width=300 headerHeight=60
dataProvider={ myDataProvider }
mx:columns
mx:Array
mx:DataGridColumn width=160
headerRenderer=RotatedHeaderRenderer
headerText=City
dataField=city/
mx:DataGridColumn width=160
headerRenderer=RotatedHeaderRenderer
headerText=State
dataField=state/
/mx:Array
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
RotatedHeaderRenderer.mxml
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:VBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml

mx:Text
text={ this.data.headerText }
rotation=90

Hi,

Re: [flexcoders] Help Extending TabNavigator/ButtonBar
I know Jason said he's going to be releasing a new TabNavigator component, but I couldn't resist trying my hand at it. Here's my enhanced TabNavigator: http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/01/23/the-quest-for-the-perfect-tabnavigator/ It uses existing code for closeable and draggable tabs, and adds in functionality for scrolling tabs if there are too many, and also displaying the drop-down list on the right side. No source code yet, but that will come in another day or two after I clean it up a bit. Jason, I'll be interested to see how you approach it... Ciarán wrote: Thanks Jason, would be a great help.

[flexcoders] Flex - ColdFusion data types
Hello all. I am very new to Flex so forgive me for the newby questions. I have been reading about Flex Data Services, Web Services, etc and working through some examples from Adobe. My question is when is it necessary to return the data in XML and when is it ok to return other datatypes? If you read in this article by Ben Forta, it states To make the integration as simple as possible, data types are preserved and automatically converted to their appropriate equivalent types. If ColdFusion returns a string, Flash receives a string; if ColdFusion returns a query, Flash receives an ArrayCollection, and so on. OK, simple enough. I have worked through examples that do just that. However, in another article on Adobe's web site (which I cannot locate now for the life of me), it stated that Flex only understands XML. The example on that page illustrated Flex calling a .cfm template, while the other examples are calling .cfc components. Is that the difference? When Flex calls a .cfm, it must receive XML? And when it calls cfc functions it can recieve other data types? Any clarification on this is appreciated. Steve

[flexcoders] HTTPServlet response formatting -- unwanted type detection/conversion
The HTTPServlet has a property called resultFormat to allow the programmer to control how the data is formatted in the response. The default, object, causes the response XMLNode to be parsed into a flex object tree. GREAT. But it also converts the strings in the XML into known types. Thus the string 100e is converted into the number 100. The e is removed because it is unnecessary. Problem is, we didn't want the string 100e to be parsed at all. We wanted it to stay a string. In general, we will receive unknown data in the response and don't want the parser fiddling with the data. Just leave the data as strings as it transforms the xml into an object tree so we can easily reference components using the convenient dot notation. Does anyone know of a way to override the type conversion in the object format or specify another option to get flex to parse the XMLNode into an object without type conversion? Maybe an option like objectstrings or such? I know I could write a routine to take the XMLNode response and convert it into an object myself but it seems quite inefficient. Thanks.

[flexcoders] Any ideas on customizing labels an gridlines in LinearAxis of LineChart ?
Hey Guys- I have a line chart with a numeric Y axis that I want to control the number of gridlines. Usually, this isn't a problem but sometimes lines are not drawn in even intervals. My axis data ranges are dynamic. For example, I might have a range of percentages from 88% to 100%. With an interval of 2, I get horizontal lines at 88%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 96%, 98%, 100%. But when the min and max become 87% and 100%, Flex draws axis labels for the same range and leaves off a label for 87% because it is only an interval of 1 away from 88% I need for the min and max values to be displayed on the axis when there are uneven intervals. I have sub-classed the LinearAxis class to manipulate the AxisLabel objects, but I am having a hard time creating even intervals. The two best scenarios I have come up with is 1) a chart with labels 87% ,90%,. . . 100%, but that leaves a larger interval at the bottom of the chart. And 2) check for a modulus (means I don't have an even interval), and alternate the intervals 2, than 3, than 2 again. This creates uneven gridline intervals, even though the chart is accurately displaying the data Ideally, I would like to end up with the second style, with alternating intervals, but have the chart rescale so the intervals appear equal. Just to let you know, I am copying the functionality of an existing Flash Fusion Chart control, so this isn't a completely random idea! The Fusion control asks for the number of divlines you want only, and figures it out from there. A Flex chart though, as you probably know, takes an interval instead. If anyone has any ideas, or has run into anything like this, please let me know !!! Thanks - Mike Gray

Re: [flexcoders] playing two video simultaneously, seeking too slow especially when playing from dvd
Depends, if you are streaming FLVs using Flash Media Server or Red5, you can do the seek thingy...It's quite cool... But if it's progressive, it all depends on how much video is downloaded, how much it is buffered, how big the video is.. Generally seek algorithms are kindda complex.. Also depends on video encoding, bitrate etc... One of my colleagues has been doing some research on different ways to buffer progressive videos...he has come up some algos, I would see if I can share that with you, no promises though... Since you are going do deliver your project on optical-disc, it's not about downloading from internet.. I am sure you can do much better here... just keep trying different things (playing with numbers, encoding options etc)... -abdul On 1/23/07, Benjamin Schwehn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tom Chiverton wrote: On Monday 22 January 2007 17:43, Benjamin Schwehn wrote: The two FLV typically have sizes between 20 and 200MB each.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex - ColdFusion data types
Steve, The type of data you use with Flex and CF really are best determined by the data you have and the scope of your project, but you don't have to use XML. I'd imagine the article you read is either outdated or perhaps was not very clear in its meaning. I haven't personally tried calling a CFM page from Flex, I use CFCs and they work great. If what you read says that you can only use a CFM page for XML, it's probably because a CFM page doesn't return any data type; but you could use Flex to load a CFM page that is dynamically generated XML via HTTP service. To be honest, it's still probably easier to use a CFC than to load a CFM page! If you are using CF on the back end, then Remote Objects with AMF are the easiest way to go, and fast performance-wise. To do this, you use mx:RemoteObject with the destination set to ColdFusion and the CFC and method you wish to call as attributes. If you need to interface with another app server, then Web Services would be ideal. You don't have to convert CFC or web services results, etc into XML for Flex to understand them. Flex does a pretty good job with that natively. HTH Rachel Maxim On 1/22/07, Steve Milburn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all. I am very new to Flex so forgive me for the newby questions. I have been reading about Flex Data Services, Web Services, etc and working through some examples from Adobe. My question is when is it necessary to return the data in XML and when is it ok to return other datatypes? If you read in this article by Ben Forta, it states To make the integration as simple as possible, data types are preserved and automatically converted to their appropriate equivalent types. If ColdFusion returns a string, Flash receives a string; if ColdFusion returns a query, Flash receives an ArrayCollection, and so on. OK, simple enough. I have worked through examples that do just that. However, in another article on Adobe's web site (which I cannot locate now for the life of me), it stated that Flex only understands XML. The example on that page illustrated Flex calling a .cfm template, while the other examples are calling .cfc components. Is that the difference? When Flex calls a .cfm, it must receive XML? And when it calls cfc functions it can recieve other data types? Any clarification on this is appreciated. Steve

Abdul Qabiz wrote: Hi, 1. Is it possible to force the flash player to just load both videos into main memory (or PageFile) at start up? You can set the buffer-time to a large number, Thanks Abdul, I entirely overlooked this property! Interestingly when setting this property to a very large value, initial load only gets slow for the film encoded with the older sorenson codec. Initial load is 90 seconds for a 70MB/23 minutes film when trying to buffer it completely (just for testing purposes) from harddrive, not dvd). I'm not sure why it takes so long, since neither CPU nor disk access time seem to be the bottleneck. The VP6 encoded film loads very fast, even when bufferTime is set to totalTime. Anyways, first tests show good results when buffering only the VP6 film. At least for small films that can be buffered entirely. Well, I guess I'll have to play around a bit more, probably re-encode all films to VP6, but this definitely helped, thanks! Generally seek algorithms are kindda complex.. Also depends on video encoding, bitrate etc... Well, I kind of thought that seeking should be very fast for constant bitrate (cbr) encoded videos. I believe the VP6 codec is alway cbr. After all, for cbr vids, it should be trivial to calculate the exact file offset for any given frame. Then readhead positioning should only take a few milliseconds for HDDs and a couple 100 ms for DVDs. For vbr things get potentially more complicated, I believe most codecs just generate a keyframe - offset table which is loaded before playback and enables fast (keyframe-) seeking. Anyways, thanks again for your help! Ben

We can't do polling either because of the delay and heavy requests (want to notify the client whenever data is updated vs. polls every seconds). Is there any other framework out there that will let us integrate flex and FDS with a .net backend? Or even any code examples to point in the right directions? We're working with C# currently. Thank you in advance for any pointers, I'm pretty new to this and it looks like flex has a ton of potential, just don't want to write our own tcp server from scratch :( Thank you! -A

[flexcoders] Re: Is Flash a single thread application?
Events are not fired concurrently. They are fired in order of their listener priority. See the following documentation on addEventListener function http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/flash/events/EventDispatcher.html#addEventListener() By default, priority is '0' for user added events, so they will fire in the order added. There's some constants defined in the EventPriority class that the framework uses when adding event listeners for things such as Bindings, Effects, etc. Hope this helps.

[flexcoders] flex.messaging.config.ConfigurationException. ???10101-details???
I've got a Flex 2 / FDS project that I'm trying to stage to an
interim deployment environment.
On the developer side, I've set up the FDS access as a 'compile
locally'. I can keep my AS/MXML files separate from the server-
side FDS app, which I like for general organization purposes.
This therefore only deploys the compiled SWF files to the server-
side. For at least interim deployment (ie to an independent
server, not developers desktop, but no full client access either), I
want to also have the AS/MXML deployed... and be able to run from
browser either by referencing the html wrapper around the SWF... or
an mxml application.
I've tried just copying the AS/MXML files to the server side (under
webapps/{flexds}/{appname} (where {flexds} is the Flex DS webapp,
and {appname} is project subdirectly that already gets the SWF/HTML
files.
When I try to call up an mxml, {host}/{flexds}/{appname}/
{mainapp}.mxml... I get the subjet line configurationexception.
It appears to be trying to compile the .mxml file, so its finding it
and its engaging the server side flex compiler... but beyond that I
have not idea whats wrong.
Anyone else had this problem and solved it?

[flexcoders] Re: FDS createItem - how to find ID of inserted record?
Thanks Olivier for the reply. However, I am using Hibernate, FDS and
Flex 2.0 with MySQL - Much like the CRM sample application with
Hibernate. I didn't write my own DAO. The canvas has dept code, dept
name, emp first name, emp last name. On click of save, I want to save
dept info in DEPT table (ID, CODE, NAME) and EMP info in EMP table
(ID, DEPT_ID, FNAME, LNAME) with EMP.DEPT_ID as new DEPT.ID - the code
looks something like this -
dept = new Dept();
dept.code = fcode.text;
dept.name = fname.text;
var ir:ItemReference = dataServiceDEPT.createItem(dept);
dataServiceDEPT.commit();
emp =new Emp();
emp.dept = dept;
emp.fname = ffname.text;
emp.lname = flname.text;
dataServiceEMP.createItem(emp);
dataServiceEMP.commit();
This code creates a new DEPT but not an EMP record. Help !!!

Hi,
I have a page where I capture DEPT and EMP data. On click of a button

created DEPT as a parent. I use FDS, hibernate and db generated IDs.
The problem I am facing is how do I get the ID of DEPT record created

records that I want to create? If I examine ID of dept object used in
createitem after FDS commit(), it is still 0. Appreciate your help.

[flexcoders] ChartElement Effect
I have an extension of ChartElement that draws what amounts to a little flag on the parent chart. What I have so far been unable to do is to get it to use a Resize effect when you click on it. I have managed to get other effects to play on it but that one does not seem to do anything. The updateDisplayList function has the following lines to draw the chart element: graphics.moveTo(point.x,point.y); graphics.beginFill(0x96CEFD,.6); graphics.lineStyle(2,0x017C98); graphics.lineTo(point.x , point.y - 30); graphics.lineTo(point.x + 25, point.y - 30); graphics.lineTo(point.x + 25, point.y - 15); graphics.lineTo(point.x , point.y - 15); graphics.endFill(); Any suggestions for how to get a resize effect on it?

Keep the Panel styling, switch ApplicationControlBar to ControlBar in

The styling may not work for an ApplicationControlBar because of the

.myAppBar {

And add the styleName=myAppBar tag to the 'ApplicationControlBar' the
display looks off.
Also... Why does the global style override a custom style. What I mean
is. Why can't I have both a global style and a custom style in the same
application? I would think if you set a global style for the
'ApplicationControlBar' it would use that style UNLESS you have a
styleName defined.
Where am I going wrong?

the login is valid. The web service currently only returns a string.
Here is the code:

mx:WebService id=Service

var token:AsyncToken = service.login(loginVO.username,
loginVO.password);
DebugWindow.debug(After login: +
token.result.toString());
token.addResponder(responder);
}
My problem is that I am seeing the web service get called and the
response is returned, but it doesn't seem like my app is taking the
response. When I try to view the response in my debug window i get an
error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
as though the web service isn't returning a value. I'm totally at a
loss here, I'm trying to learn Cairngorm, but i'm really struggling.
I basically am trying to rework this sample app:

[flexcoders] Re: Silent Download
Thanks Tom, I have a very good experience with the server side code. Specially in .NET. My Services are written in C#, with Fluorine. Maybe I have to explain better my problem: My application originally was designed to stream Flash Video Files. So The Kiosk would have only a browser. The application, services and SQL Server would be hosted in a contracted provider. The problem is that the cost for streaming was very high and it was not possible to used it. So I am looking for another solution. My objective is to maintain the Kiosk functionally as thinner as I can. So I decided to install a web server on the Kiosk, with the Flex App running locally and maintain SQL Server and the services at the contracted provider. I understand that Kiosk App could call a local service asking to download the necessary FLV files but this solution would include more functionality at the client, and want to avoid it. If there is not a better solution I beleive I will have to use this one, at least until Appollo is released.

[flexcoders] Module subclass issue
Hello,
I finally decided to port an existing development towards the new
Modules architecture, and i am facing a pretty tough issue here.
I have a bunch of modules, that all extend BlockModule, which is a
Module subclass that itself implements the IBlockModule interface.
BlockModule and IBlockModule are in a library that the modules project
includes.
Apparently, everything compiles fine, so far so good.
But now, in my application, I load these modules (using ModuleLoader),
and, when ready, try to set a symbol property on these modules.
Using the target property of the ModuleEvent, I correctly find the
modules. But, in order to be able to set the symbol property, I need
to cast them as IBlockModule.
And, that simply doesn't work.
Here is what my ready event listener looks like :
private function blockReady( pEvt:ModuleEvent ) : void
{
var ml:ModuleLoader = pEvt.target as ModuleLoader;
var block:IBlockModule = ml.child as IBlockModule;
trace (ml.child); // output is correct
trace (block); // null (apparently, the casting
failed)
if( block != null) {
block.symbol = symbol;
}
}
From what my googling tells me, I believe it might be an issue with
the shared library But I honestly have no clue of what precisely
(everything seems correct to me) nor of how I could solve this.
If anyone has an idea, i would love to hear it :)
cheers,
J.

Keep the Panel styling, switch ApplicationControlBar to ControlBar in
the MXML with no styling applied to it.
The styling may not work for an ApplicationControlBar because of the
way you are using it. Maybe it's not meant to be used in a Panel like
that.

}
The bar looks correct, but if I remove the 'ApplicationControlBar'
global style and change to a custom style (notice the styles are the
exactly same)...
.myAppBar {
cornerRadius: 14;
dropShadowEnabled: false;
borderStyle: none;
fillColors: #e7e7e7, #d9d9d9;
}
And add the styleName=myAppBar tag to the 'ApplicationControlBar'
the
display looks off.
Also... Why does the global style override a custom style. What I mean
is. Why can't I have both a global style and a custom style in the
same
application? I would think if you set a global style for the
'ApplicationControlBar' it would use that style UNLESS you have a
styleName defined.
Where am I going wrong?

[flexcoders] Re: RTE when using itemRenderers in DataGrid.
That is why the fixed did work for me :) My application also adds an HeaderRenderer at run-time. I don't think anybody at Adobe is aware of this issue even through I submitted it as a bug. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Dana Gutride [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, I've found some additional details on this problem. The call to validateDisplayList will only help if you have added an itemRenderer at run time. Adding a headerRenderer at run time will still cause this error to happen. If the header renderer is included in-line, everything works correctly. Does anybody know a work around for this?

[flexcoders] Help with Tree component : getting XML out of Oracle
This is a little off topic but was hoping some of you have tried this. Have any of you been able to run a query in Oracle that returns data which can be easily loaded into the Tree component? If so can you pass along the info on how you accomplished this? Thanks
[flexcoders] Problem using Flex webservice component
Hi everybody, I am building an application using Flex and I am experiencing some trouble with the flex webservice componnent. The WSDL file I am working with was a bit complex, so I had to make it far more simple in order to get a clue on what's wrong with it. At last, it seems that Flex webservice component doesn't like abstract type in WSDL files. Could anyone confirm that Flex webservice component doesn't support webservice based on WSDL files that use abstract types? Can something be done to make Flex support such a webservice? regards, Thomas Roosen.

RE: [flexcoders] Accessibility and imported components
Jason, The short answer is that it does work. The longer, more useful answer requires more information from you about what you've tried, and how you are using JAWS (e.g. are you in forms mode or virtual cursor mode) Thanks, AWK -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Goodwin Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 3:25 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Accessibility and imported components *RE POST (my thread got hijacked) I have an app with lots of imported components.

[flexcoders] force to preload UI children
I want to force any UI Container to preload its children. I explain myself. For instance I have an accordion which contains 2 tabs. The first one is automatically loaded. But I can't acess to the second's children as long as the user has not clicked on it to display it! mx:Accordion mx:VBox label=1mx:Button id=b1 label=box1 //mx:VBox mx:VBox label=2mx:Button id=b2 label=box2 //mx:VBox /mx:Accordion here I won't be able to execute this : b2.label = hop changed; as b2 will be null. Any idea ? I tried all the validateProperties/validateSize/validateNow... but it won't do anything... Thank you Mathieu LEMAIRE
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Custom Tree Renderer with checkboxes for Flex 2
I was afraid you were there: ...like getting to the renderer of each
child node ... You can't do that. You must work with the
dataProvider, setting an item node property with the checked state you
want, and the renderer must use that state in the set data method to set
the state of the check box.

Hi,
Actually it's not really traversing the tree, it's more like getting to
the renderer of each child node (since the checkboxes are declared
inside the renderer).
public class CustomTreeRenderer extends TreeItemRenderer
{
var checkbox:Checkbox;
}
Any help is appreciated
Thx

Re: [flexcoders] regexp and html tags
Hi,
I don't know exactly what you are looking for as far as your algorithm but
try this;
private function init()
{
var s:String = linkwww.mywebsite.com/link;
var p:RegExp = /link\b[^]*(.*?)\/link/gi;
s = s.replace(p,a href='$1' target='_blank'$1/a);
trace(s)
}
it traces;
a href='www.mywebsite.com' target='_blank'www.mywebsite.com/a
Peace, Mike

RE: [flexcoders] force to preload UI children
There is a simple answer to your question, but before I tell you, I need you to understand the ramifications. The behavior your see is called deferred instantiation and is the default behavior of many of the Flex navigation containers. Its purpose is to improve the start-up performance of the Flex app. The best way to handle issues like this is to use binding, or an event process of your own, to pull the data you want into the child views when they are viewed. Now, the answer to your question is: on the Accordion tag, set creationPolicy=all.

I'm assuming you have a display of your own Click Here for Fullscreen! message, in whichever set of languages you wish... could you toggle it to Click Here to Switch Back! when they do so? The Player is localized into many but not all languages, and its context menu can contain fullscreen text, with the screen itself then containing escape text. My point here is that these are usually not the only interface elements exposed -- usually you'd also have your own instructions, which can be in any language you care to write.

[flexcoders] Re: Max OS X Flex Builder 2.01 License Issue - still waiting
Has anyone been able to get an new license? I contacted adobe and opened a ticket back on the 9th of January and I am still waiting... After 50 minutes on hold, they took my information and then put me on hold for another 30 minutes. They finally came back on the phone and asked me to fax in a letter of destruction for my Windows version, which I did. They said that they would email the new Mac key within 48 hours. Waited until the 18th and still no key. Another call to Adobe (30 minute hold time) and they told me that my original request was missrouted and that I should have the key by the end of the week, worst case by Tuesday (today). Still no key... I am a HUGE fan of Macromedia/Adobe/Flex but I am not sure why it has to be this difficult.
