Ok, but why would you want to add the same view twice?  Do you want to add two 
different instances?

var arrayToMatch:Array = new Array
("id", "disabled",  "date", "title", "content");
//
var tmpArray:Array = new Array();

datagridColumns = datagrid.columns;

[flexcoders] newbie question: Timer across components..

[iilsley]

Is it possible to have a Timer in one component and have another
component
execute a function when that timer fires ?

eg:

Comp1 has a timer set for 3 seconds ..

In Comp2 I want to 'capture' the TimerEvent.TIMER from Comp1 to execute
a function defined in Comp2..

---
I currently have something working but I kinda feel its just not the
right way .. :) ..

In Comp2 I have

Application.application.ti.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,fired);

where 'ti' is the Timer .

Is there a better way to listen for the event  ?


Thanks

[flexcoders] labelRenderer problem

[Mikhail Shevchuk]

Hello, group.

I have to render labels for horizontal axis, so I use the following MXML
code:

   


Where MyLabelRenderer.mxml is just a MXML component inhereted from Label. I
assigned an init()
function to the creationComplete event. In that function I can set any text
to the 'text' property of the
instance. But how can I get the default value of that text (I need to cut it
if it is too long)? Like this.data in ItemRenderer.

Troy, thanks for the help. My Singleton works fine now, I'm gonna see how

And Petro. I don't see how your sugestion may help me.

  public class MySingleton

public function MySingleton()
{
if (_instance) throw new Error("MySingleton is a singleton but has
been constructed twice!");
}
}

That works for me. There's also a technique where you use an internal
class (visible only within the AS source file) as a parameter to the
constructor, thus causing the compiler to complain if anyone calls the
constructor from outside that source file, but I find that throwing the
error is enough.

Another option is to go with a Monostate, which doesn't require any
trickery in ActionScript. In a Monostate, you can create as many instances
of the class as you want but they're all basically just facades onto a
single instance (usually implemented as just having private static members).
In some cases I like the Monostate better because, depending on the
application, its easier to switch to not being an "oop global" if need be.

Troy.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Bad Results referencing local variables in nested loops

[Gordon Smith]

I noticed two peculiarities in your code: You declare
myAnimationFunction() and myEventFunction() in verifyContainer() to
return void rather than Boolean. But when I declare them to return
Boolean and actually return true, I still see your problem.
 
In stepping through it in the FlexBuilder debugger, it appears that the
scope chain is different when the second item is processed than when the
first one was. I think you've found an AS3 compiler codegen bug
involving nested anonymous functions. I'll forward this to a compiler
engineer.

Re: [flexcoders] onChange()

run the debugger, or use some trace message in your costCalc(), it  
should be easy to determine.


Else send me the whole file...

Here is one of the text boxes in which I call the CostCalc()

That's pretty much it.
The function CostCalc() is just doing basic math calculation. i.e.

does that help at all.

[flexcoders] Quickest way to turn a result from mySQL into a chart

[Patrick Lemiuex]

Question:

I've been given a day or less to make a chart application and I need  
to pop some webstats into a flex chart.  What's the simplest way to  
take a result from Amfphp remoting wapping into an array collection  
and then populate a chart?

Does anybody have any quick examples?

Thanks,

That means you haven't added the component as a child of some other

can you insert childB at 99 for example.

if so if you remove childA does childB's index change?

can you ensure that you're child will remain at an index?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Custom Component Width when 100%?

[Alex Harui]

In theory, if you started with UIComponent, you need to implement a
measure() method to tell the parent how big you want to be.  That parent
will then call setActualSize which should result in your
updateDisplayList being called with non-zero values.  Again, if
extending UIComponent, you should be able to draw or add shapes in
updateDisplayList without causing a second call to updateDisplayList
providing that your measure() method returns the same values and nobody
else called invalidateDisplayList.
 
It feels like you're not quite following the formula somehwere.  You
could post the class code I suppose...

Ahhh HA! I was reading the adobe documentation and it turns out that
when you do addchild() it calls updateDisplayList again. This is why
my program wasn't working, I had an infinite loop when I called
addchild.

I fixed it by adding an if function with a flag.
if (_newBackground){
...
}

Since my updatedisplaylist was being called twice, once with 0
unscaledWidth and once with an unscaledWidth, I had to add another
condition.
if (_newBackground && unscaledWidth != 0) {
...
}

Now I can't seem to get the component to scale with the rest of the
app when the browser window opens. I'm going to start a new thread
for that question.

Re: [flexcoders] List Control with checkbox items

[Doug McCune]

What are you trying to do? Say you've got:

_ item 1
_ item 2
_ item 3
_ item 4
_ item 5
_ item 6

If I click the checkbox on item 2, then I click the checkbox on item 5, is
that supposed to select all items between item 2 and item 5? So would it
then look like:

_ item 1
* item 2
* item 3
* item 4
* item 5
_ item 6

Is that what you're talking about? So each time you click a checkbox it
would scan and select all items above the one they clicked until it got to
one that's already clicked?

[flexcoders] SOLVED: Setting the Font Color for a Selected ComboBox Item

[Paul Whitelock]

I gave up on using MXML to write the list item renderer and instead
wrote it in ActionScript using a TextField. The ComboBox now doesn't
have the problem with setting list items to the color assigned to the
control.

Sometimes MXML is just more trouble than it's worth ;-)

Hey Alex,

if 0 == childA
can you insert childB at 99 for example.

if so if you remove childA does childB's index change?

can you ensure that you're child will remain at an index?

Children renumber after one is removed

0 = childA

After removeChildAt(0)

0 = childB
1 = childC

Look at the code for removeAllChildren.

It will either removeChildAt(0) j times or iterate backwards.

Do you require to move change any shape properties when the scale  
occurs.


If not you cant just avoid redrawing them again by setting a flag  
after they've been drawn.


If so, you could approach it a few ways.
I guess the only way you could ensure removeChildAt() to work is to  
use addChildAt() and maintain the same depth index.
you could always use removeChild() and use a reference to your shapes  
object

RE: [flexcoders] Error: Repeater is not executing.

[Tracy Spratt]

First you are not doing the repeater quite right.  Try this:





 

The currentItem propeerty already holds a reference to the dataProvider
item that is generating the current repeater instance.

 

Second, the Label needs a text value, which will be one of the
properties on your dataProvider item objects.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Component Width when 100%?

[Nate Pearson]

Ahhh HA!  I was reading the adobe documentation and it turns out that
when you do addchild() it calls updateDisplayList again.  This is why
my program wasn't working, I had an infinite loop when I called addchild.

I fixed it by adding an if function with a flag.
if (_newBackground){
...
}

Since my updatedisplaylist was being called twice, once with 0
unscaledWidth and once with an unscaledWidth, I had to add another
condition.
 if (_newBackground && unscaledWidth != 0) {
...
}

Now I can't seem to get the component to scale with the rest of the
app when the browser window opens.  I'm going to start a new thread
for that question.

[flexcoders] Bad Results referencing local variables in nested loops

[Rod Perkins]

I have been having a great time using ActionScript 3.0 and Flex but  
I have encountered problems which seem to be caused by Flexbuilder 
or the Flashplayer runtime.  The following problem is based on a 
situation I have in my application uses a data structure of embedded 
objects.  I replicated the problem using arrays instead of the 
classes I had used.  The example may seemed contrived but reproduces 
the problem without duplicating the complexity of my application.

The structure was based on data structure of page objects, which 
contains several cell items.  Each item has a list of animations, 
and each animation has a list trigger events references.  So the 
nested structure looked like the following:

Pages (instance 1)
Item(instance 1)
Animation (instance 1)
Events (instance 1)
Events (instance 2)
Animation (instance 2)
Events (instance 1)
Events (instance 2)
Item(instance 2)
Animation (instance 1)
Events (instance 1)
Events (instance 2)
Animation (instance 2)
Events (instance 1)
Events (instance 2)

The setup function in my example creates this structure using 
arrays.   The function "goodResult" traverses the structure using 
nested for-loops.  Nested local variables at different scoping 
levels are referenced and displayed during the inner most loop for 
the Events (instance 1 & 2).  This produces the expected result.  
Good Results
500  200  [v:0 i:0 a: 0 e: 0]
500  200  [v:0 i:0 a: 0 e: 1]
500  200  [v:0 i:0 a: 1 e: 0]
500  200  [v:0 i:0 a: 1 e: 1]
500  200  [v:0 i:1 a: 0 e: 0]
500  200  [v:0 i:1 a: 0 e: 1]
500  200  [v:0 i:1 a: 1 e: 0]
500  200  [v:0 i:1 a: 1 e: 1]

The "badResult" function traverses the structure using the OO 
technique of enumeration (iterator) functions.  Among other reasons, 
I used this approach to make the code more readable and compact by 
hiding the loop from the caller and the typecasting the values 
automatically.  The caller is required to send a Function which is 
then called during each pass (iterator) ofthe loop.  The nested 
local variables this time are not displayed properly.  During the 
first call, the results for Events (instance 1) is correct, but 
Events (instance 2) is incorrect.  Subsequent calls to 
the "badResult" function display erroneous results.  
 
Bad Results - first iteration - first event loop good, second loop 
bad
500  200  [v:0 i:0 a: 0 e: 0]
500  200  [v:0 i:0 a: 0 e: 1]
500  200  [v:0 i:0 a: 1 e: 0]
500  200  [v:0 i:0 a: 1 e: 1]
500  59369881  [v:0 i:1 a: 0 e: 0]
500  59369881  [v:0 i:1 a: 0 e: 1]
500  59369881  [v:0 i:1 a: 1 e: 0]
500  59369881  [v:0 i:1 a: 1 e: 1]
Bad Results - second iteration - both loops bad
2  500  [v:0 i:0 a: 0 e: 0]
2  500  [v:0 i:0 a: 0 e: 1]
2  500  [v:0 i:0 a: 1 e: 0]
2  500  [v:0 i:0 a: 1 e: 1]
2  500  [v:0 i:1 a: 0 e: 0]
2  500  [v:0 i:1 a: 0 e: 1]
2  500  [v:0 i:1 a: 1 e: 0]
2  500  [v:0 i:1 a: 1 e: 1]
Bad Results - third iteration - both loops bad
2  500  [v:0 i:0 a: 0 e: 0]
2  500  [v:0 i:0 a: 0 e: 1]
2  500  [v:0 i:0 a: 1 e: 0]
2  500  [v:0 i:0 a: 1 e: 1]
2  500  [v:0 i:1 a: 0 e: 0]
2  500  [v:0 i:1 a: 0 e: 1]
2  500  [v:0 i:1 a: 1 e: 0]
2  500  [v:0 i:1 a: 1 e: 1]

I don't know if the problem is with the enumeration function calls 
or stack references during nested scope (this is not recursion so 
the stack depth should not be that great). The example is simple so 
you can play around with it.  It does make me worry about using 
Functions or nested function calls.

Here is the code for the example.

Rod Perkins

[flexcoders] Scrollbar for small browser windows

[ivansebastiansurya]

Hi everyone,

I'm developing a Flex application for large monitor screen.  HOwever, 
when I display my application in smaller screens, the scroll bar won't 
appear.  Is there any way to make my application create a scrollbar as 
needed?

Thanks,

Ivan.

Re: [flexcoders] Global access in AS3

[Troy Gilbert]

public class MySingleton
{
   private static var _instance:MySingleton;
   public static function get instance():MySingleton
   {
   if (!_instance) _instance = new MySingleton();
   return _instance;
   }

   public function MySingleton()
   {
   if (_instance) throw new Error("MySingleton is a singleton but has
been constructed twice!");
   }
}

That works for me. There's also a technique where you use an internal class
(visible only within the AS source file) as a parameter to the constructor,
thus causing the compiler to complain if anyone calls the constructor from
outside that source file, but I find that throwing the error is enough.

Another option is to go with a Monostate, which doesn't require any trickery
in ActionScript. In a Monostate, you can create as many instances of the
class as you want but they're all basically just facades onto a single
instance (usually implemented as just having private static members). In
some cases I like the Monostate better because, depending on the
application, its easier to switch to not being an "oop global" if need be.

Troy.

   Hi,



As a side note, you might try to place your .AS file in the root directory
(along with your main .MXML application file) and define all the necessary
methods there. The methods should be all public though but the advantage is
that you are not even required to define a package. Methods shouldn't be
even static.

Hi all,

My problem is: I need some data classes to be global so that I can
access them without to have to establish unnecessary references.

I tried to create a Singleton class the way we're used to do in Java,
and I got 2 problems:

1) It's not possible to define a private constructor
2) The instance created in the getInstance() method is not keeping the
data, I don't know why

What do I do to have globally accessible structures in AS3?

Re: [flexcoders] Are Events OK in the MVC (S) pattern

[Troy Gilbert]

Brett,

Events are actually an a pretty fundamental component of an MVC
implementation. Events are most often used by the model to notify the view
and/or controller of changes (Observer pattern).

If your model is responding to *any* events then its really not acting as a
model in the traditional MVC sense. Models should be "pure" data, they
should basically represent state and contain no behavior. The exception, of
course, are structural behaviors like collection management
(ArrayCollection) or notification (Bindable). If you have parts of your
model that are listening for events that's a good indicator (in my book)
that your model needs some refactoring to truly be MVC. I tend to work
toward the goal of the model having only properties, no methods.

Troy.

  Hi there,

I'm building a flex app using MVS and it seems to me events can break

I.e a event in the ui layer could trigger something directly in the

Is it recommended to use Events in this way or am I being totally dumb
here.?

Any feedback appreciated..

Re: [flexcoders] Re: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed :

[Robert Cadena]

howdy,

i'm not sure what classes are defined in your modules or if you're using 
load-externs and external-library-path when compiling your module 
projects.  but what i have found is that if a module has a class linked 
in that is the exact same class (and comes from the same swc, say 
framework.swc) as another module, and you try to cast an object obtained 
from that module into the exact same class of another module then you 
will get a type coercion error.

so, my guess is that loading the shared content first loads the 
component into the "correct" applicationDomain.

to avoid guessing when to load what, use load-externs or 
external-library-path to so you can link in a component into a module 
when you know that the component is also linked from the code that 
loaded the module.  Specially if the modules have to "share" objects 
between each other.

alex harui's presentation of the class loading mechanism at 360flex was 
very helpful.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Component Width when 100%?

[Nate Pearson]

So I think i got unScaledWidth to work during UpdateDisplayList.  When
I debug it seems like it's called twice.  Once with 0 unscaledWidth
and once with the correct unScaledWidth.  Should I be worrying about
this? I didn't override the measure function.  Should I?

So to draw in UpdateDisplayList you have to manipulate graphics like this:
   graphics.lineStyle(0,0x00, 0);
   graphics.beginFill(0xff, 1);
   graphics.drawRect(0,0,unscaledWidth/2,unscaledHeight);
   graphics.endFill();  

But what if I want to draw shapes or UIcomponents?  That's why It
wasn't working for me before, i was drawing like this:
   var shape:Shape = new Shape();
   shape.graphics.lineStyle(0,0x00, 0);
   shape.graphics.beginFill(0xff, 1);
   shape.graphics.drawRect(0,0,unscaledWidth/2,unscaledHeight);
   shape.graphics.endFill();
   //When i do the add child my program won't load!
   //addChild(shape);

I watched Ely's component video and it says I can add UIComponents,
sprites and shapes to UpdateDisplayList.  Does anyone know what I'm
doing wrong?

Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] UIComponent: focus problem?

[Alex Harui]

You component must implement IFocusManagerComponent if you want it to
receive focus.
 
public class Stage extends UIComponent implements IFocusManagerComponent
 
If you want to capture all keystrokes, listen to the stage.
 
systemManager.stage.addEventListener( KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown
);

RE: [flexcoders] FDS sitting behind SSL accelerator

[Seth Hodgson]

Hi,

First, I'd recommend grabbing the 2.5 beta release on labs which supports this 
deployment more naturally than the 2.0.1 release.

If you're using HTTP based channels you'd want to define your channel 
definition like so:


  https://{ip for your BIG-IP}" 
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.HTTPEndpoint" />
...

The server-side endpoint class is HTTPEndpoint (non-secure) but the client-side 
channel class is SecureHTTPChannel and the endpoint url that is compiled into 
the swf is secure (https). The endpoint url needs to point to your accelerator 
and that in turn needs to connect back to the proper FDS url.

If you're using RTMP, you'd want a channel definition like:


  
  
...
...
  
...

You use  and  to specify the IP and port that the 
server-side RTMP endpoint will listen for RTMP connections on. The IP and port 
values in the endpoint url string will reference your accelerator, and after 
the SSL handshake it will need to do TCP pass through back to the bind-address 
and bind-port that FDS is configured to use.

HTH,
Seth

Subject: [flexcoders] FDS sitting behind SSL accelerator

We're working on our production environment design and would like to
put FDS behind an SSL accelerator (H.A.) like nCipher's nFast or a
BIG-IP server. We haven't purchased any hardware yet, so a proof of
concept will require something like apache/mod_jk/mod_ssl. Has anybody
had any success doing this with FDS.

What I can't figure out is how do I set up my
data-managment-config.xml destination channels?  If my FDS server is
sitting in the DMZ talking plain text, how do I get my clients to talk
SSL if they are compiled (by FDS) if they're using the same config files?

so It should look like this:
[client] -ssl-> [H.A. & passthrough to DMZ] -plain text-> FSD


any thoughts?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Setting the Font Color for a Selected ComboBox Item

The key will be in your renderer code for the ComboBox.  How did you set
up coloring?
 
On occasion, the entire List is destroyed and re-created which can reset
your renderers.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Setting the Font Color for a Selected ComboBox
Item



Yes, that's what I would have thought too :-)

On the ComboBox close event this is all I'm doing:

if (cb.selectedItem.status == "a") cb.setStyle("color", "#0B333C");
else cb.setStyle("color", "#AA"); 

If I select an item in the list that has the color #0B333C (the
default dark gray font color for list items), then everything is fine
(the #AA items in the list stay red and the #0B333C items in the
list stay gray).

If I select a list item that has the red color, then when the
setStyle("color", "#AA") executes all of the list items are
rendered in red (#AA).

A odd thing is that if I next select one of the (now red) list items
that should be gray, then when the cb.setStyle("color", "#0B333C")
executes the list items are rendered properly (gray items are gray and
red items are red).

It seems it's only when setStyle changes the color to something other
than the default that the itemRenderer no longer has an effect. When
the color is changed back to the default, then the itemRenderer works
again.

Very strange, and very irritating :-)

RE: [flexcoders] FDS sitting behind SSL accelerator

[Allen Riddle]

We set up our environment similar to yours. We are using apache with
mod_ssl and proxypass to route requests our flex client makes over ssl
to our flex data services app. In the flex configuration, your default
channels must be the secure channels (my-secure-http, or my-secure-amf)
and you must route your requests behind the firewall over ssl. This is
because the packet itself that is being sent up by the flex client is
encrypted. There isn't much out there on this yet, as I'm sure there
will be. The kicker is, just because the swf gets served up over https,
doesn't mean that the requests being made are over ssl, pretty bad.

Subject: [flexcoders] FDS sitting behind SSL accelerator

 

We're working on our production environment design and would like to
put FDS behind an SSL accelerator (H.A.) like nCipher's nFast or a
BIG-IP server. We haven't purchased any hardware yet, so a proof of
concept will require something like apache/mod_jk/mod_ssl. Has anybody
had any success doing this with FDS.

What I can't figure out is how do I set up my
data-managment-config.xml destination channels?  If my FDS server is
sitting in the DMZ talking plain text, how do I get my clients to talk
SSL if they are compiled (by FDS) if they're using the same config
files?

so It should look like this:
[client] -ssl-> [H.A. & passthrough to DMZ] -plain text-> FSD


any thoughts? 

 

Re: [flexcoders] List Control with checkbox items

[Clint Tredway]

here is a couple of ideas. (I didnt test these, but either 'should work')

1. have a function tied to the click event of the checkbox that adds that
index to the selectedItems of the list control

2. when submitting the info, loop through the list and check to see if any
check boxes are checked.

option 1 would mean you would need to change how your itemRenderer is built,
but it should work.

Try setting percentWidth and percentHeight to 100 in your module

[flexcoders] Re: URLRequest.requestHeaders

Alright, so here is the real problem.  FileReference.upload never
shares session/cookies/headers/(all the stuff we can't set) with the
browser or other requests made from Flash.  This is a huge problem. 
How are we supposed to manage a secure server environment when the
security issues on the client tie our hands?  I have tried every trick
in the book to get this to work and frankly I don't see any compelling
reason to continue using Flex if we can't have a bit more control over
server communication.

[flexcoders] Re: Modules not positioning children correctly

Well, in case anyone else has this issue, I found a bit of a hack to get it
to work.
I just created an mxml class called CustomModule.mxml and this is all that's
in it:



http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="100%"
height="100%">




Now, whenever I make a new module, I just point it to the CustomModule
class as the main class to use, and everything resizes/positions fine.  I'm
not sure why, but I'll take it.

Just to make sure, I changed one of my modules to point to mx:Module again,
and the children didn't resize/position correctly.  Setting it back to
CustomModule made it all work again.

Hopefully this can help someone.

The module in Flex Builder will appear correctly where the tree controller
is placed at 0,66 and spans 100% x 100%.
However, when the module is loaded into the Application, everything is
placed correctly, but the tree seems to use a minimumWidth and minimumHeight

Re: [flexcoders] Re: FDS/Hibernate/MySql data update question

[Robert Cadena]

Jae,
glad to help.  I doubt there is a change event support in the jdbc 
connector, but I may be wrong.

One way you'd be able to notify your fds webapp that a change occurred 
is to expose an internal facing service (webservice,restful, jms?) to 
your other app.

For example, our searchcoders.com/flex app runs a couple of shell 
scripts to perform maintenance and email retrieval at periodic 
intervals.  I wanted to keep track of when new messages were downloaded 
from the group and indexed in a simple flex-based admin console.  so, 
when the batch script finishes dling and indexing stuff it makes a curl 
request to an internal-facing server running fds, which sends an update 
event over a transaction, just as i described in my reply.  then my 
admin client, which is already connected to the internal server fds 
instance, receives a push update.  Of course, i could have simply had 
the shell script send me an email, but, we're testing out how to work 
and integrate fds and wanted to see this sort of notification strategy 
in action.

I normally pass the username and an encrypted password in the html

creationComplete handler of the Application.  This is only needed 
when the CFC is in a directory secured by CFLogin.

I've written a class that allows you to data-bind a combo similar to
how you bind a text field..  You set the valueField propertie on an
instance of this component to the field in the dataProvider that
you're using as the "data" or key field, then you bind the
bindableValue property to your dataModel in both directions.  

So, saw you have a form that you're using to track customer's
addresses, and this form is backed by a  customerAddress object with
properties like "city", "state", and "zipCode".  You also have an
ArrayCollection with state names and abbreviations - states.stateName
and states.stateCode..  You would set the combo's dataProvider to
states, and it's labelField to stateName.  For the custom properties,
you set the valueField property to stateCode, and then two-way bind
the bindableValue property to customerAddress.state.

Any time the user selects a new state from the combo, the component
will update the bindableValue property with the corresponding
valueField value - data binding changes it in your model.  When the
model changes programmatically, eg from the result of a remoting call,
data binding will update bindableValue from the model..  The
propertyChange event is issued and caught by the component, and it
calls code exactly like what's been posted to locate the item with the
corresponding key.

Code:

change="onChange(event)" creationComplete="setup()">

those remote credentials and make them available to a CFC or CFM via the
CFLOGIN scope.
 
There appear to be a few blog postings about this too.

I posted to the Apollo forum, but this is more of a Flex question.

How would one use this setRemoteCredentials() method?

 ()

Do I place it in my submitJob function in the example code below?

Here is my basic code that I am passing a job number to a cfc and I get
a result back from it.

Also how does the CFC need to be setup to even use this
RemoteCredentials information?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: IoC framework for Action Script

[Carlos Rovira]

An IoC flex solution would really useful. The possibilities to inyect code
at runtime and configure your application by xml joined with the code
reduction acomplised with reflexion would be the next step...maybe the next
iteration for frameworks like Cairngorm?. Hope so ;).

I'm happy to announce that we've redesigned the existing Flex.org site, and I'd 
like your

The site can be accessed online at http://www.flex.org/beta/  

The final URL for the site will be http://www.flex.org/

I'm hoping to push it live sometime next week.

The site is designed to be the website for developers who are looking to get 
started with Flex 
by highlighting all the community activities going on with Flex, as well as 
official Adobe 
resources.  If you feel that I've missed something that should be highlighted, 
please let me 
know by email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). 

In particular, I'm looking for more applications to add to the Flex Showcase 
page, at http://
www.flex.org/beta/showcase/  If you know of any Flex based applications that 
are public, 
please forward them to me by tagging them on del.icio.us with the "flex.org"

[flexcoders] FDS sitting behind SSL accelerator

[box110a]

We're working on our production environment design and would like to
put FDS behind an SSL accelerator (H.A.) like nCipher's nFast or a
BIG-IP server. We haven't purchased any hardware yet, so a proof of
concept will require something like apache/mod_jk/mod_ssl. Has anybody
had any success doing this with FDS.

What I can't figure out is how do I set up my
data-managment-config.xml destination channels?  If my FDS server is
sitting in the DMZ talking plain text, how do I get my clients to talk
SSL if they are compiled (by FDS) if they're using the same config
files?

so It should look like this:
[client] -ssl-> [H.A. & passthrough to DMZ] -plain text-> FSD


any thoughts?

[flexcoders] Re: Correct way to load Flex SWF IF correct player version?

[wdsnapper]

FYI, Javascript is a non-starter for us.  Sites like myspace block
script tags so the best tool we have would be an embed or object tag
and have a swf that can do what we need.

Have any of you deployed a Flex application that can be embedded in
other web pages that you do not own that do not allow anything but
embed or object tags (i.e. myspace for example)?

Believe me, I wish this were baked into the Flash player from day one
where there was a way to specify a minimum version number and the
player "did the rest and prompted for the user to update".

Thanks again.

Thanks Ryan,


I tried with varchar and text datatype and I got the same problem.


For example: the char "á" look fine in the flex application, but in

And my php class is like the old amfphp 1.2 without the method table.  
If I use the same flex application with AMFPHP 1.9 and the AMF0

Hi Rafael,

How're you handling the characters in PHP (as it doesn't support

I do not use eclipse that much, well sometimes but I usually use
dremweaver for ColdFusion. I like cfeclipse, I think that I am just too
used to dreamweaver.

Can I ask which version do you use? Is there a preference? I will manly
using eclipse only for flex, as I do now,and space on my machine is no
isse, and so If I have to install and extra eclipse  is no worries for
me.

Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: Setting the Font Color for a Selected ComboBox Item

[Paul Whitelock]

Yes, that's what I would have thought too :-)

On the ComboBox close event this is all I'm doing:

if (cb.selectedItem.status == "a") cb.setStyle("color", "#0B333C");
else cb.setStyle("color", "#AA");   

If I select an item in the list that has the color #0B333C (the
default dark gray font color for list items), then everything is fine
(the #AA items in the list stay red and the #0B333C items in the
list stay gray).

If I select a list item that has the red color, then when the
setStyle("color", "#AA") executes all of the list items are
rendered in red (#AA).

A odd thing is that if I next select one of the (now red) list items
that should be gray, then when the cb.setStyle("color", "#0B333C")
executes the list items are rendered properly (gray items are gray and
red items are red).

It seems it's only when setStyle changes the color to something other
than the default that the itemRenderer no longer has an effect. When
the color is changed back to the default, then the itemRenderer works
again.

Very strange, and very irritating :-)

Paul

Re: [flexcoders] List Control with checkbox items

[Rick Root]

(wow, gmail makes it difficult to quote emails from yahoo groups!)

That almost works here's my MXML:

 
 
The problem here is that the checkboxes do not relate to the actual selected
status of the items.  For example, if I click 3 different items without
holding down the control key, all 3 items have checkboxes, but only one (the
last) is highlighted in blue.. meaning it's the only one REALLY selected as
far as the list control is concerned.

MXML is a dialect of XML that the Flex compiler can turn into a SWF flash

You probably have to get children() from the XML and create your own

I am using a DataGrid with a dataprovider of xml. This is working 
fine with the exception of the column headers being ordered 
alphabetically instead of copying the XML structure.

The DataGrid would format the following xml with column headers in 
the order of
disabled, id, media, ordernumber, title

The docs in DataGrid.columns talks about a way to "explictly set" 
this but I can't find a good example. I am thinking maybe there is an 
easier way to sort the data higher up the chain.
