[flexcoders] Re: Can't find bug in this piece of ActionScript
Hi,
I dont think it does, I could be wrong, but I want to set the
selectedIndex equal to the employeeStateId so if the employee has a
stateId of say 3 for Arizona or whatever, I want the selectedIndex to
be 3.
Unless I am missing something.

So the reason for this is because PopUpManager listens for the SHOW and
HIDE events (see PopUpManagerImpl.as line 471). If your popped up
component dispatches SHOW or HIDE then the PopUpManager takes this to mean
that it should show or hide the popup.
So when your popped up window dispatches SHOW, PopUpManager calls
showModalWindow(), which then also sets the window's visible property. If
this setting of the visible property in turn triggered the SHOW event, then
we'd get caught in an endless loop of PopUpManager calling showModalWindow()
over and over again.
So this isn't a solution, but hopefully it helps to understand what's
going on.

dispatched. Confusing. At least as for me.
Can anybody explain this behavior? Or say it's not right?

[flexcoders] Re: Importing mx packages into AS3 project
Thanks Gordon I eventually ended up converting to an mx project, which bloated my app from 162K to 480K. At the moment size isnt an issue and I have gone for the ease of development over size. Customizing the flex component code is an option I havent considered yet, thinking that my only hopes were either to re-invent the wheel or wait for the flash 9 compontents to come out. So I'll enjoy the simplicity of Flex while I can :) Cheers Tracy --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Gordon Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It sounds like you want components which are both very rich and very lightweight. If we knew how to do that, we'd write the Flex components that way. : ) Seriously, athough we've tried to balance these concerns in the Flex framework components, we realize that they don't meet everyone's needs. Iff you're extending Button, then you're bringing in significant chunks of the Flex framework, because even a lowly Button supports measurement, layout, CSS, skinnability, focus management, tooltips, etc. The source code for our components is freely available. You might want to consider starting with ours and trimming out the functionaliry you don't need rather than starting from scratch. - Gordon

Hi,
The code works the first time around. First time around meaning click
an employee from the datagrid and the screen changes to a detail view of
that employee.
For some reason every user I bring up after the first user has the same
State (Arizona) for example selected thereafter. The first time
around it works, but then when I go back to the employee list screen,
and click a different employee, the detail form populates with all the
right info like (firstName, lastName, email, city, zip), but the state
drop down has the value of the state the other user is associated with
(Arizona).
Its as if the code runs correctly once but when you click a different
user the approriate state does not load, it just has the value from the
prior user. Almost as if once the code runs once, and its being cached
or something. All the other fields load correctly as I view each users
detail view.
I hope I am making sense.

[flexcoders] How to make a universal httpservice
I am fairly new to Flex2 and AS3, 4 weeks of programming/experimenting
under the hood.
In a application I am using several (6-7) httpservice calls, to
retrieve data for the various elements. Works great!
One thing that _really_ annoys me, is that I have several
mx:HTTPservice instances, one for each service I need to call.
This is a obviously not the correct way to do it, but what is ?
I imagine I could make a AS function that would accept some parameters
like :
function getHTTPData(url:string,parms:xml):object {
!-- insert fantastic code here --
}
Can anyone help me out here ??
Thanks for your time,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Can't find bug in this piece of ActionScript
That's probably because the creationComplete event is called just once.
What if you use binding instead?
selectedIndex={ getStateIndex( *employeeStateId:Number, dataProvider:Array*) }

RE: [flexcoders] More knowledge of future component development?
Hi Doug, I'll talk specifically about the Scheduling Framework here, which is something that the Adobe Consulting group have contributed to the community. There are currently no plans to bring that framework into the actual Flex SDK, so I wouldn't have any concerns in that area - I'll update the Scheduling Framework page on Adobe Labs to make that clearer. There isn't a team allocated to enhancing the Scheduling Framework within the consulting group - it is now very much something we hope the community will step up to the mark and lead. We are doing some bug fixes to the framework at present, those that have been provided back to us by the community, and we'd greatly welcome any enhancements too. The feedback and contribution mechanism is very basic at present (mainly, the Discussions tab on Labs), but if and when enhancements start coming in, we'll look into moving it to somewhere like RIAForge.

I know this is a very tricky line that Adobe has to walk between what they can say about future components released in the framework. But here's my issue: I'd love to build more components for Flex, my only worry is that I'll be duplicating energy spent by the Flex team (or Adobe consulting). For example, say I wanted to take the Scheduling Framework and enhance it. I know the labs page says it's in 0.01 alpha or whatever, and they mention that a 1.0 release will happen eventually. So if I knew that in one month a more robust and amazing scheduling framework was going to be released I wouldn't even bother. But if that 1.0 release isn't going to happen for 12 months, then it's worth my time doing it on my own. This is the same with other components in the framework. I'm not going to concentrate on enhancements to the DataGrid, for example, because I know Adobe plans on focusing on that with the Flex 3 framework, and any enhancements that I make will probably pale in comparison. But I have been working on the TabNavigator because I haven't seen any mention of that from an official Adobe source. I've been amazingly impressed with Adobe's openness with developers overall, the release of the framework source, the info regarding the release schedule, etc. If it was possible to give us a little bit more on which components in the framework have planned upgrades, then it might be easier for us to focus our efforts. I know Adobe has said they want us to build more components, I just don't want to build the same ones that the Flex team's building.

[flexcoders] Re: Can't find bug in this piece of ActionScript
Hi,
I am new to actionscript and not quite sure how to implement that
solution you suggested. It looks like the way to go because I do want
to always have the right state selected when the detail screen first
loads so I presume that is where the binding kicks in.
Here is what I did in the code which I think is wrong how I am
referencing the array in the parameter
public function getStateIndex(employeeStateId:Number,
model.employeeProfileArray[0]:Array):void {
var selectedIndex : int = 0;
for ( var i:int=0; i stateCB.dataProvider.length; i++ )
{
if( getStateIndex(employeeStateId:==
stateCB.dataProvider[i].stateId ) {
selectedIndex = getStateIndex(employeeStateId:;
}
}
stateCB.selectedIndex = selectedIndex;
comp:StateCombo id=stateCB selectedIndex={ getStateIndex(
employeeStateId:Number, model.employeeProfileArray[0]:Array ) }
dataProvider={model.stateList} labelField=stateName/
I am using Cairngorm 2.1 and it is actually working pretty well for me,
so is there a way to elegantly bind this to the ModelLocator? The array
is bound to the ModelLocator

You have created an object called Test. You can only have one public object in

Here is what I did in the code which I think is wrong how I am referencing

is there a way to elegantly bind this to the ModelLocator? The array is

For some reason every user I bring up after the first user has the

State (Arizona) for example selected thereafter. The first time
around it works, but then when I go back to the employee list screen,
and click a different employee, the detail form populates with all the
right info like (firstName, lastName, email, city, zip), but the state
drop down has the value of the state the other user is associated with
(Arizona).
Its as if the code runs correctly once but when you click a different
user the approriate state does not load, it just has the value from
the
prior user. Almost as if once the code runs once, and its being cached
or something. All the other fields load correctly as I view each users
detail view.
I hope I am making sense.

If you do declare

only attributes available
at that level are public and internal, and only one package-level

[flexcoders] Accordion child icon bug
I noticed a bug in Accordion (Flex 2.0.1). I have an Accordion with
three children end every one of them has another image as icon property:
mx:Accordion
myForm:Form icon={icon1} /
myForm:Form icon={icon2} /
myForm:Form icon={icon3} /
/mx:Accordion
The problem is that THE LAST ONE (icon3) is rendered on ALL THREE
Accordion tabs. Since I think Accordion has to work as other navigators
(TabNavigator etc..), it seems to be a bug.
btw where to submit Flex bugs?

[flexcoders] Re: What is the best way to draw about 10,000 to 15,000 rectangles?
I ran across a similar problem for an application I worked on in Actionscript 2. I had a very large image broken into 10x10 tiles. Each tile related to an image and some data. Instead of drawing a pile of boxes (or rectangles) as MovieClips, I created a Bitmap drawing that had all the tiles I needed on it (so in effect, it looked like a bunch of individual movieclips). I then created an associative array that stored the class instances I needed that correlated with each tile on the drawing, based on an x-y position (ie array['0-0'] = instance1; array['10-0'] = instance2, etc). I registered the mouse and click events against the movieclip that had the bitmap in it. As the user moved across or clicked on the bitmap I had a simple function that would calculate the tile that user had moused over or clicked on, find the necessary instance in array and then do the work that need to be done. It worked super fast, since the application was not bogged down with thousands of movieclips. Derrick Grigg -- www.dgrigg.com

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 Compiler / Metadata Question
Sure thing, The ideal scenario for us would be to use our own custom metadata tags in our Flex code. We have built a DWR wrapper that lets us use DWR in Flex 2, and many of the methods that automate this would benefit enormously from being able to read various things from an ActionScript object's metadata at run-time. As examples, two of the cases that would be extremely helpful are: - Mark properties of our IValueObject classes as transient such that the conversion code knows to skip them - Mark both the key type and value type of a hashmap-style data structure (like the Java Map interface and its various implementations) - Mark up classes such that their persistence policies can be specified in a declarative manner and then handled through a common set of functions Flex has this metadata construct that is pretty powerful ([Bindable], [Effect], [Embed], etc) but it only allows you to use a small set of adobe-specified metadata tags that the core adobe code is aware of and uses. We want to create and use our own custom metadata tags. Just as an example, if we made that transient tag, it could be as simple as: [Transient] public var someProperty : String; Now our code can read the metadata of an objects properties and determine at run-time which ones it can skip. Flex lets you add your own metadata tags, and if you use the -keep-as3-metadata+=Transient compiler flag it works beautifully in Debug mode. But when you switch to run mode, it goes back to throwing out all metadata tags it doesn't understand. We just want to find a way to keep them around in both run and debug modes. It seems like this metadata construct could be incredibly powerful for certain types of applications, especially libraries and tools. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tom Chiverton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thursday 01 Feb 2007, gtuhl wrote: Anyone have any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] How I can to modify a xml with Flex and Php?
Right. You need to focus on PHP code that would read/write/manipulate XML. Once you are done with that, you can read how can Flex apps communicate with backend (PHP, JSP etc). Generally, there are following methods used:- 1) HTTPService class of Flex framwork - To communicate over standard HTTP GET/POST 2) WebService class of Flex framework - To communicate with server for SOAP based webservices (little complicated to use on both sides - server as well as client) 3) RemoteObject class of Flex framework - To communicate using Flash Remoting (AMF), it requires AMFPHP installed on your server, there is learning curve to use it as well. The simplest way is to you #1 option. You can make your PHP script accept HTTP/POST and return XML/Text. This way you can write frontend in Flex/AJAX/HTML-Form etc Does this help you? -abdul On 2/2/07, cisnky [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Do you have anymore information.

RE: [flexcoders] Non-Clustered CPU, Clustered, Distributed and Mirroring Environment????
Assuming you have multiple CPUs (non-virtual) running FDS for the same application, in all of those scenarios you still need a license per-CPU. The only scenario where you do not need a license is where FDS is running on one CPU (and it can support as many applications as you like). If you were to have separate applications (and application here means business purpose application, not necessarily Flex application) you could even have one FDS CPU per application. However, I consider this scenario unlikely for a business, but more possible for personal use.

[flexcoders] how and when is updateDisplayList called ?
Hi all, Can anyone tell how and when is updateDisplayList called ? I always call super.updateDisplayList() when ever I override it. I created a datagrid which contains line graph in one of it's columns. Now once I removed super.updateDisplayList() from the my itemrenderer and still it was working . Also if i want to change property of some component like color do i want to call invalidateDisplayList()? Thanks, Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Print Preview Help
Hi, and the preview should be able to show the number of pages that would be present in the Printed hard copy. To show that you need to know the paper size, that is not known until you start printjob.start (..), once printjob.start (..) is called Print dialogue box is shown and Flash Player stops rendering anything on screen. The only way I can imagine is when you know the page size or assume A4, instruct user that print-preview is based on A4 (or whatever assume) page size. If you can assume or standardized the page size for your print preview, you might do this to show print-preview. Create Print Preview using same technique using PrintDataGrid, as shown in docs, with these changes:- - Create s separate view that contains the entire logic of printing. Which means, when view is initialized, it would create PrintDataGrid instances, populate the PrintDataGrid etc.. - you can provide controls to change pages in PrintDataGrid and print it. - When user hits the print button, you basically start printJob and start adding pages (footer, content pages, header) to FlexPrintJob instance.. - And print it.. I guess, I would do that way... But I am sure there are always better ways.. -abdul On 2/2/07, Sastry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I am trying to print the contents of a DataGrid using a Print Data Grid.

Re: [flexcoders] Apollo features
Actually, that is not necessarily the case. If you look at our descriptions of Apollo, we try to make it very clear that Apollo is focused at bringing RIAs to the desktop. It is this use case that is driving feature prioritization. From the FAQ: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Apollo:developerfaq#What_is_Apollo.3F What is Apollo Apollo is the code name for a cross-operating system runtime being developed by Adobe that allows developers to leverage their existing web development skills (Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, Ajax) to build and deploy Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) to the desktop. What type of applications does Apollo target? While a number of more traditional desktop applications can be built and targeted at the Apollo runtime, Apollo is targeted at making it easy to develop and deploy Rich Internet Applications to the desktop. It is this use case, deploying RIAs to the desktop, which is driving the feature set for Apollo 1.0. What types of developers is Apollo targeting? Apollo is targeted at developers who are currently leveraging web technologies, such as Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript and Ajax techniques to build and deploy Rich Internet Applications. Now, having said that, being able to launch native executables directly is still being considered. (although including native DLLs / libraries will not be in 1.0). Btw, you will definately be able to launch file handlers for file types. Of course, this is just for 1.0, and we have to make some difficult decisions around features in order to be able to get 1.0 out. We will be doing versions of Apollo after 1.0. Btw, as far as WPF/E, it is a browser based plugin, not a desktop runtime, and thus has all the same security restrictions and other issues with running in the browser. mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jerome Clarke a.k.a sinatosk wrote: To be honest... all this talk I've been hearing about Apollo being used as desktop applications using web technologies...

[flexcoders] ByteArray / URLLoader / Loader / Image / Size?
(I have searched for this answer on the list and in the docs and can't find anything so I'm gonna go ahead and post. If I missed a previous post, I apologize, please point me towards it.) I have an image in a ByteArray and I want to display it within a specific width and height inside an Image object.

If I set child.width and child.height to specific values (i.e. 215x260) the Image (or child) just doesn't display. I CAN change scale directly or use a Matrix to scale it, but the problem there is that the child.width and .height are returning 0 so I can't calculate the correct scale. Any ideas??? -Andy

[flexcoders] Re: Can't find bug in this piece of ActionScript
Hi,
The bug is that you are continuing through the loop even after you have
found the employeeStateId you are looking for. What you really want is
something like:
...
if( employeeStateId == stateCB.dataProvider[i].stateId ) {
stateCB.selectedIndex = employeeStateId ;
return;
}
...
Also, your code is a little inefficient in that it sets the
selectedIndex to 0 for every item that is *not* the value you are
looking for, instead of setting it to 0 once if the value is not found.
HTH,
Doug

Your problem is that you're calling addChild on the Image component. This won't work with how the ImageComponent works (or rather SWFLoader, which is the base class). But the SWFLoader should be able to load a DisplayObject, if you set that as the source.

Re: [flexcoders] How to create a Windows taskbar notification?
Thanks for the ideas. Apollo was the first thing that popped into my mind too when our users asked :) this app is a prime candidate for Apollo anyway. It's an internal web app, so we have a good amount of control over our environment. I did find an ActiveX control, I was figuring I could embed it in the HTML wrapper that I use for the Flex app, and then communicate with it from Flex via JavaScript, of course I'm not even sure that's possible with the control that I found.

If your requirements will allow you such an install then you might be in luck. A few years ago I was looking this very solution, I ended up doing my application in Central, but in the process I came up with 2 theories that could work. The first was to build a C# application that runs as a service with a Flash movie embedded inside of it that communicates back and forth with the main application via localconnection. The second was to do the same with Director, a third party Xtra has task bar methods so you could use that and communicate the back and forth with localconnection. There's also a way to run Director exes as services as well. The one thing I'm not sure of as I write this is updates to the Flash security model. Can a web app talk to a local SWF anymore? Might want to check into that before you embark on any other endeavors. As other's have pointed out you could wait for apollo, but if your main requirement is a web app, then apollo won't be a good fit for that. But maybe it can be configured as a service and run it that way so then you could write the service in apollo and communicate back and forth. That would be cool!

Re: [flexcoders] Apollo features
Yeah. We have been focusing on the underlying infrastructure and HTML, which is why we havent given too many details on PDF.

[flexcoders] Re: Adding columns in DataGrid dynamically
You can reassign the grid's columns property to accomplish this.
Array methods like push don't emit the events necessary for the
component to detect that the array has changed, thus the component
will not update. Try:
public function populateData() {
// code snipped
var newCols: Array = [];
newCols.push(new DataGridColumn(col1));
newCols.push(new DataGridColumn(col2));
dataGrid_columns = dataGrid_columns.concat(newCols);
...
Reassigning dataGrid_columns to the new Array returned by the concat
() method ought to be detected by the component and cause it to
update.

Is it possible to add DataGrid columns dynamically, after DataGrid
has
been initialized?
I have the following scenario:
User loads swf file with DataGrid component in it, and passes a
url as
parameter. ActionScript code makes an HttpRequest call to this url,
receives Xml data, parses it into columns and displays it in the
DataGrid.
I do not know in advance, how many columns there will be. I tried
to
make 'columns' array bindable and add instances of DataGridColumn
into
it on the fly, but that has no effect on the DataGrid.
While DataGrid is able to figure out itself, how many columns there
are in a data provider, it sorts them in alphabetical order. I
need to
set my own order.
Here's a code snippet:
MXML:
mx:DataGrid dataProvider={dataGrid_data} id = m_dataGrid
columns={dataGrid_columns} initialize=makeCall()
/mx:DataGrid
mx:script
[Bindable]
public var dataGrid_data:ArrayCollection = new
ArrayCollection();
[Bindable]
public var dataGrid_columns:Array = new Array();
public function makeCall() {
// code snipped
... populateData(dataGrid_data, dataGrid_columns);
// code snipped
}
public function populateData() {
// code snipped
dataGrid_columns.push(new DataGridColumn(col1));
dataGrid_columns.push(new DataGridColumn(col2));
...
// add data to provider
}
While provider works perfectly, columns array does not affect the
DataGrid at all. Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks a lot.

Hi, This does look like a bug with SequenceCommand. I've been looking at the various options as to how to fix this. I've never been overly enamoured with SequenceCommand (it wasn't something we ever used in projects), but there was enough requests for us to add it. I suppose my initial question would be around how attached people are to the current API. We have discussed this here and can see a better implementation, but that would require changes to existing code. So, for the people who use SequenceCommand, how would you feel about having to change your client code, though it would be a relatively only small change in each place you use SequenceCommand? Thoughts?

Re: [flexcoders] Panel and Scrollbars (basic question)
Hi Neil,
Sorry, I couldn't actually run this because of the
PredefinedEntitiesFromReport data being missing (nothing populated). I see
what you are saying about the dynamic sizing, I don't think I can suggest a
better way than what you have.
If you were to make the layout of the base component absolute it could still
be dynamically sized, that would allow you to set constraints for its
children which would make the content stretch to the appropriate width. The
component should still stretch to whatever size you pass to it.
Unfortunately the size would not be determined by its children.
Oh well, sorry I couldn't be of more help!

It's currently not absolute or constrained.
The content is dynamic and so I never know exactly what the width of the

values used for the width. The Panel should pretty much be able to handle
what is thrown at it.
I could simply listen for a scroll event and add/subtract 16 pixels to the
width of the box depending on whether my content scrolls or not, but I was
just guessing that this kind of resizing was a such a common task that there
would be some in-built way of handling it. If not I'll just have to make
myself a component to do the job.

What if you use binding instead?
selectedIndex={ getStateIndex( *employeeStateId:Number,
dataProvider:Array*) }

Hi,
The code works the first time around. First time around meaning
click
an employee from the datagrid and the screen changes to a detail
view
of
that employee.
For some reason every user I bring up after the first user has
the
same
State (Arizona) for example selected thereafter. The first
time
around it works, but then when I go back to the employee list
screen,
and click a different employee, the detail form populates with
all the
right info like (firstName, lastName, email, city, zip), but the
state
drop down has the value of the state the other user is
associated with
(Arizona).
Its as if the code runs correctly once but when you click a
different
user the approriate state does not load, it just has the value
from
the
prior user. Almost as if once the code runs once, and its being
cached
or something. All the other fields load correctly as I view each
users
detail view.
I hope I am making sense.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 Compiler / Metadata Question
I checked around internally, and the feature is supposed to work in release mode, and evidently we have some proof that it does, at least in our scenarios. So a simple sample that shows it failing might help. Ely. p.s. the reason metadata is stripped by default is for SWF size reasons. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of gtuhl Sent: Friday, February 02, 2007 6:08 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 Compiler / Metadata Question Sure thing, The ideal scenario for us would be to use our own custom metadata tags in our Flex code. We have built a DWR wrapper that lets us use DWR in Flex 2, and many of the methods that automate this would benefit enormously from being able to read various things from an ActionScript object's metadata at run-time. As examples, two of the cases that would be extremely helpful are: - Mark properties of our IValueObject classes as transient such that the conversion code knows to skip them - Mark both the key type and value type of a hashmap-style data structure (like the Java Map interface and its various implementations) - Mark up classes such that their persistence policies can be specified in a declarative manner and then handled through a common set of functions Flex has this metadata construct that is pretty powerful ([Bindable], [Effect], [Embed], etc) but it only allows you to use a small set of adobe-specified metadata tags that the core adobe code is aware of and uses. We want to create and use our own custom metadata tags. Just as an example, if we made that transient tag, it could be as simple as: [Transient] public var someProperty : String; Now our code can read the metadata of an objects properties and determine at run-time which ones it can skip. Flex lets you add your own metadata tags, and if you use the -keep-as3-metadata+=Transient compiler flag it works beautifully in Debug mode. But when you switch to run mode, it goes back to throwing out all metadata tags it doesn't understand. We just want to find a way to keep them around in both run and debug modes. It seems like this metadata construct could be incredibly powerful for certain types of applications, especially libraries and tools. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , Tom Chiverton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thursday 01 Feb 2007, gtuhl wrote: Anyone have any ideas?

I've never been overly enamoured with SequenceCommand (it wasn't something we ever used in projects), but there was enough requests for us to add it. I suppose my initial question would be around how attached people are to the current API. We have discussed this here and can see a better implementation, but that would require changes to existing code. So, for the people who use SequenceCommand, how would you feel about having to change your client code, though it would be a relatively only small change in each place you use SequenceCommand? Thoughts?

After some experimenting I suspect that it was. I was setting nextEvent in the execute method of my SequenceCommand subclass. I went and looked at the docs (http://www.cairngormdocs.org/docs/cairngorm_2_1/index.html http://www.cairngormdocs.org/docs/cairngorm_2_1/index.html ) and they suggest setting it in the constructor, so I tried that. Same error. Finally, I tried setting it in a handler method in my SC subclass (its a file upload command), on the line right before executeNextCommand () and that seems to have fixed it. It makes me wary of SequenceCommand though, so I am converting any classes that subclass it to regular command classes and I will just set and dispatch the next event manually. I also tried (very briefly) switching to the Cairngorm 2.2 beta SWC and was still getting the error. Hey AC guys, is there a bug in SequenceCommand? :) Hopefully this info helps others.

RE: [flexcoders] FDS/Hibernate Sample of updating hierarchical list of values
My apologies - this does look like a bug. I need to do more testing on this case myself, but I think one of the big problems here is that we are trying to do conflict detection on our own in the hibernate assembler's updateItem method. Unless you are using a strict isolation level in your DB (repeatable read or serializable) this is not going to be transactionally correct anyway since the DB version can be modified after we have executed the query and before we do our update. We probably should not be getting the server version at all... hibernate has its own optimistic concurrency support that we should be using if it is enabled. That is probably the only way to get atomic conflict detection without resorting to using those particularly slow isolation levels. That would potentially get rid of the conflicting version of the item in the transaction. The other thing I need to look into is the merge method in hibernate. Seems like we should probably be using that in the updateItem method? I'll be working on this next week so will send out any updates I can to the code.

Even the simplest of collection mappings in Hibernate cause various exceptions when trying to update. Before I post my details, does anyone have any examples of this that work? Has anyone ever even gotten this to work? I have two objects mapped in Hibernate: - Family Person where a Family has a Set of Person familyMembers. My FDS destination is to Family, and I am trying to update a family member (just the name) through this destination. First, I was getting Hibernate NonUniqueObjectException, which I finally tracked down to having my hibernate collection mapping set to lazy=false This caused all of the family member Person objects to be loaded into the PersistenceContext when the HibernateAssembler loaded the serverVersion of the Family. Then, once I set lazy=true on the collection mapping, I was getting an exception that A collection with cascade=all-delete-orphan was no longer referenced by the owning entity instance... since it is assigning a whole new collection to the familyMembers property one becomes unreferenced, and the other referenced. Sooo I can't use delete orphan to delete the family members when the family is deleted... OK. So then I make cascade=all. Now I'm getting ORA-01407: cannot update (SCHEMA.T_PERSON.FAMILYID) to NULL... I'm guessing that it's processing the dereferenced collection first (trying to detatch any Person's from the family before they're re-attached by the new collection.

[flexcoders] ExternalInterface bug with swf inside form tag- will it be fixed?
I was super excited yesterday when I started playing with FABridge and saw how great it worked. Fast forward to this morning when we moved the code and swf into the deployed .ASPX page and everything broke. Turns out this is a well documented (by users, not Adobe/MM) bug with ExternalInterface (which FABridge uses) when the swf is located inside a form tag. In addition to various other scenarios where putting your swf inside a form tag is desired, its pretty much unavoidable on an ASPX page. Will this bug get fixed? I have seen some workaround code but this seems like something that is worth officially fixing. As it stands now it smacks of incompleteness and yet another scenario where .NET developers are seemingly ignored by Adobe. Thanks, Ben

[flexcoders] HTTP Headers sent when FP loads content from remote server
Hello, when a flash application requests content from the http server, are the http headers sent the same the browser sends? I imagine that FP delegates the responsibility of loading any type of content via HTTP to the browser, so the headers should be the same. I have tried Service Capture (http sniffer) to see the difference and got the following: Loaded directly from firefox: GET /history.htm HTTP/1.1 Host: onfashion.webfuel.pt User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: pt,en-gb;q=0.7,en;q=0.3 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Referer: http://onfashion.webfuel.pt/ Cookie: PHPSESSID=fbca4b8f6a5d4e0895499d4abc3bea3f Loaded from Firefox but requested the Flash application: GET /images/pub_inscricoes_olho.jpg HTTP/1.1 Host: onfashion.webfuel.pt User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: pt,en-gb;q=0.7,en;q=0.3 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Cookie: PHPSESSID=fbca4b8f6a5d4e0895499d4abc3bea3f The only difference i see, is that the request made by the Flash application doesn't have the Referrer header. But using Internet Explorer, the headers are completely identical. I need a more accurate opinion, since we are having some issues concerning statistics calculated by a business partner. They say they believe that when content is loaded from the FP they are generating false statistics. Can this be true? Thanks, João Saleiro

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Automation API
gettier wrote: I am trying to get more information on use and capabilities of the Flex Automation API. The Class and Interface info from the Language Reference doesn't really show how to use the API. There isn't much documentation right now, so until Adobe remedies this, you'll need to read the source and have at least some understanding of how the rest of the Flex framework is built to get going with Flex Automation. That's not to say that the documentation isn't helpful, it'll give you a good bird's eye overview of how everything is hooked together. I've been playing with it quite a bit since it came out and for the most part, discovered how to get it to work with my own code through reading the code and trial and error. To begin with, if you want to integrate into the whole framework, you should start with the Automation class and pass it the adapter class that'll be driving it. Minimally, this adapter class should implement the IAutomationManager and IAutomationObjectHelper interfaces. If you have the Mercury QTP plugin (requires a FDS license plus Mercury QTP), there should be an adapter already provided, though I don't know if Adobe provided the source code with that. If, however, you're like me and don't have all that good stuff lying around, you can write your own adapter class and direct the output somewhere more useful--you've several options--a compiled-in debug window, over LocalConnection like how XRay does things, or over a socket connection to an external harness program that you've written. The Automation class contains a map of registered component classes to their automation delegates in a static variable named delegateClassMap. This is located in the mx_internal namespace, so you'll have to declare you're using it to get access to it (at your own risk, as some of the Adobe engineers have publicly stated that mx_internal variables are subject to change between revisions and aren't a guaranteed interface). The standard Flex UI components and the charting classes have delegates already written. You'll need to provide delegate classes for each of your own custom components if you want to automate them (see the Flex 2.0.1 documentation for an example of how to write an automation delegate for Ely Greenfield's RandomWalk class). Once you've loaded all your delegates, you can then use your adapter and the delegateClassMap to locate and create an automation delegate instance mapping to each component instance that you want to automate. At this point, your delegate can report appropriate functional events for logging and/or recording for replay to your adapter via its recordAutomatableEvent method, and can replay events on the component passed to it by calling the replayAutomatableEvent method. If you don't care for the integrated framework aspect of things, you can also pursue a simpler approach of just including the necessary delegate implementation classes for your components and then creating instances of them referencing each of your components. While doing so doesn't hang together quite as well, it does allow you to fairly quickly script a single component or two if you need some basic automation for testing client side form validation and the like. That's the quick summary of how it all hangs together--there's a bunch of additional stuff like synchronization and identifier mangling that I haven't yet had enough time to figure out yet, but this should be enough to get you started making good use of the automation framework.

[flexcoders] More Mac licensing issues: [WAS:: Max OS X Flex Builder 2.01 License Issue - still waiting
To anyone at Adobe who's listening: I'm working on a Flex2 project for Scholastic http://scholastic.com and we are running into a wall in terms of getting our Flex Builder licenses transfered to the Macintosh platform. We purposely bought Windows versions knowing that it wouldn't be a problem to transfer the license when the Mac version became available. This licensing situation that we and others have experienced is completely unacceptable. John Dowdel, do you think that you can help us out a bit, or escalate the issue, as you did for others experiencing these problems? Or maybe Ted Patrick, you could let others there know that this is a major issue for people, and it should be addressed. Here are the issues that we are currently facing: 1. In order to transfer the license you have to be the authorized purchaser of the software and Adobe won't accept a request form the actual end user of the license. To make it worse Adobe won't tell us who that person is. At a rather large organization (10,000 + employees) like Scholastic, finding this authorized person is really difficult to do. 2. Even if we do find the person above, we are told that the process will take five days from the approved request before Adobe will issue the Mac license number. 3. Currently there's no way for us to extend the trial version until this is worked out. We either have to install the trial on another computer or just wait it out. It's a pitty that such a great piece of software has so many barriers and red tape to actually use it. Thanks very much for you attention to this issue. -Chris On 2/1/07, Brendan Meutzner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Transferring licenses doesn't seem to be the only issue.

So after 30 minutes on hold with customer support this morning, I'm told that the more expensive transactions are processed manually and that somebody would be reviewing the details within the next 2-3 days.
