[flexcoders] Re: Noob Querystring questions

[Chris Luebcke]

Synchronicity: I was working on the exact same problem and stopped by
flexbuilders while waiting for a build/deploy. This is, needless to say,
much easier than the approach I was going down (which involved
ExternalInterface, etc).

On the Flex side, I wrote the following to parse and store the query
params in my main application:

public var queryParams : Object = new Object();

public function loadQueryParams() : void {
   var queryString : String =
Application.application.parameters["queryParams"];
   if (queryString && queryString != "") {
 var params : Array = queryString.split("&");
 for (var i : Number = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
   var param : Array = String(params[i]).split("=");
   queryParams[param[0]] = param[1];
 }
   }
   // Verify
   for (var s : String in queryParams) {
 trace("Parameter: " + s + "=" + queryParams[s]);
   }
}

Seems to work like a charm. It's bit verbose, but hey, that's me. Thanks
for the tip, Doug, et al!

[flexcoders] Re: PDF Preview

[billy_d_white]

I've used the iFrame solution and it works surprisingly well. 
Basically you have to modify the html template to include with the
required javascript functions and then you use the IFrame mxml
component to display the PDF.  I just generate the PDF on the
serverside (using iText) and then display the results in the iFrame. 
It works great in both IE and Firefox.  The only problem I've come
across is that when I do not have enough information to generate a
PDF, I send back an HTML page with an error and sometimes that HTML
page does not show up correctly in Firefox. However, it could be
something I'm just doing wrong so I would say to give it is a shot
since the PDF displays correctly in both IE and Firefox.

[flexcoders] Flex 2 - Application Starter Toolkit

[realeyes_jun]

Hello,

I was talking with a fellow developer earlier in the day and he
mentioned this toolkit he used to use in the Flex 1.5 days.  It was
called FAST:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/fast_userguide.html

I noticed that there was mention of a version of this for Flex 2:

http://ajax.sys-con.com/read/276226.htm

Anyone have the scoop on the Flex 2 version FAST2?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] PDF Preview

[Kevin]

I know this has been asked before, but I haven't seen many solutions  
posted.

Is there a way to preview a PDF in Flex?  As far as I can tell there  
are two possible options:

1) Preview the PDF in an iFrame (Has anyone tried this? Does it work  
cross platform?)

2) Convert the PDF to SWF & load in Flex. (Is there existing server  
code for this conversion? This seems rather processor intensive for  
large PDF's)

I am still struggling with printable document creation using Flex.   
Has anyone heard whether Adobe is interested in building a basic  
Print Preview Component (similar to the Acrobat Reader Plugin) for  
Flex?  Seems like this would be a valuable asset to the Flex community.

[flexcoders] Re: Noob Querystring questions

[Doug Lowder]

You can also use a bit of JavaScript code to simply pass whatever URL 
parameters have been specified for the HTML on to your SWF, if that's 
what you're after.  I usually edit the HTML template and include the 
following:

// In the Globals area near the top
var myvars = new String(document.location).split('?')[1];

// the line in AC_FL_RunContent that specifies flashvars
"flashvars",'historyUrl=history.htm%3F&lconid=' + lc_id + '&' + 
myvars,

[flexcoders] ASDoc on a Mac

[Jesse Warden]

Anyone ever get ASDoc to work on a Mac?

I'm having the same problem these dudes are having.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=asdoc+Exception+in+thread+%22main%22+java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError%3A+Flex&btnG=Search

RE: [flexcoders] Noob Querystring questions

[Tracy Spratt]

Nate, sorry it is not quite that easy.  You are passing a parameter to
an html file.  The html file has no way to see that arg and pass it to
the Player instance.

 

This will work if you call the .swf directly, with the querystring
parameter.  Use Application.application.parameters.test.

 

To do this in a production environment (if the parameters are dynamic)
you will need to have a server platform generate the html file.

 

The easiest way to do this is to look at the generated html file that
FlexBuilder creates.  In the javascript call, you will need to add your
parameters to the "flashvars" line in AC_FL_RunContent(...  like:

"flashvars",'historyUrl=history.htm%3F&lconid=' + lc_id + "&test=system"
+ '',

 

Of course you will have the server (asp, jsp...) output the actual value
you want for "system".

Re: [flexcoders] Is it possible to resize a Cursor dynamically?

[Troy Gilbert]

The cursor is basically treated as if its a DisplayObject, which in practice
means that its a Sprite, MovieClip, Bitmap or Shape. Most of the examples
I've seen use embedded assets, most often a bitmap. But it can be any class
that can sit on the display list.

Of course, you're not able to access your specific instance of the class as
the CursorManager creates it internally and its not exposed. So, you have to
be tricky. Either you create a class that's a monostate (all of the
instances of the class share a common state) or have your custom class
listen for some particularly events that you're able to get into the display
list and to your class. Personally, I'd go for the monostate (more
predictable).

You'll need to create a class that inherits from DisplayObject, Sprite would
be a good choice. In your class, I'd add a static member that stores the
current "size" or "scale". And in the ENTER_FRAME event, have your sprite
copy that value into the sprite's scaleX and scaleY members. Basically, it's
manual binding (you could probably do some more traditional binding as well,
but I'm assuming here that you'd probably be using ENTER_FRAME anyway for
some animation).

Pass off your custom cursor sprite class to the CursorManager to use...
internally, it will construct an instant as necessary (based on priority of
cursors, etc.). On your end, just modify the static state (scale) as
necessary. The result will be a cursor that resizes (because the
CursorManager's instance of the class is using the same static state that
you're manipulating).

If you're embedding an SWF, just embed it and use it inside of your custom
class (add it as a child, etc.). The display list is your friend! ;-)

Troy.

  If I had a custom cursor, say a swf object, is it possible to size

adjust via slider bar)

[flexcoders] how to link tables with CF/Flex App wizard?

[bobklhr]

I have 2 tables, orders and recipes. An Order can have multiple 
recipes. I can't figure out how to use the wizard to create a CRUD 
application that will link the 2 tables together.

For my last attempt I created a master and detail page for Orders 
and a master and detail page for recipes.

The docs say you can link a Master page to a detail page but that 
doesn't seem to be the case, the Wizard won't let you. But I can 
link the Recipe Master to the Orders Master (by drag and drop). Like 
this:

Orders Master
   |  |
   |  orders detail
   |
   Recipe master
  |
  recipe detail

That creates a 'Recipes' button on the Orders Master which opens the 
Recipe Master from where you can add a recipe. The problem is that 
the Recipe detail should be linked to the current order but doesn't 
appear to be linked to anything (I display the linking Order_id 
column).

is this possible or am I doing something wrong?

[flexcoders] Italics in datagrid cell

[tsiesser]

Hi - I'm trying to display italics in a datagrid cell based on certain
row criteria. I've created a custom itemRenderer in AS3 that derives
from UIComponent and that contains a UITextField as a child. (This
might seem a little over-complex for what I'm describing, but I have
other use for doing it this way... :-))

I override commitProperties and do the following:

override protected function commitProperties():void
{
super.commitProperties();

textField.text = ... // get text value from data (works okay)

if (data && data is MyClass && MyClass(data).notAvailable)
{
textField.textColor = textField.getStyle("disabledColor");
textField.setStyle("fontStyle", "italic");
}
else
{
textField.textColor = textField.getStyle("color");
textField.setStyle("fontStyle", "normal");
}
}

The result is that I *do* get the disabled color when appropriate, but
I *don't* get the italics.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Thanks in advance for your
help!

Not sure what you are doing and don't have a solution but i can say

I use them quite a bit and have never seen performance issue.

Could it be something in your code in the modal windows?  I would try 
in your app to just popup a blank panel control and see if that 
exhibits the same behavior...

[flexcoders] Re: timezone and dateformatter

[Doug Lowder]

Sounds like some of our legacy tables, where someone decided to store 
dates as formatted varchar strings instead of something more 
appropriate like Date or Timestamp.  What a pain.

If you're forced to use the existing datetime column, I guess there 
isn't much you can do.  If not, maybe you could add a numeric column 
and store the dates as milliseconds since epoch.  That would make 
retrieving ( new Date(valFromDb) ) and sending ( myDate.getTime() ) 
pseudo-date values easier.

[flexcoders] Modal Windows - CPU Intensive?

[Michael Imhoff]

Hi Everyone,

 

I've noticed that modal windows seem to be extremely processor intensive.
The cpu spikes to 40 or 50 and stays there until the window has been closed.
Has anyone experienced this and/or knows of a workaround?

 

Have a good day,

Michael

 

[flexcoders] Re: denying GETs on .NET WSDL web service file...

[scott_flex]

tried it, instead of calling the .loadWsdl() method, i just set the 
wsdl property so it at least know where the service exists, also set 
the endpoint to my asmx file, which is the web service.

Doesn't work.

double check to make sure you actually have to load the wsdl.  It's possible

RE: [flexcoders] FDS

[Jeff Vroom]

I'm also curious if anyone finds the behavior of the Data Management
awkward.   In the current model, there is only one visible
representation of each managed item on the client.  It is "the" managed
instance of that object.  It tracks both uncommitted changes on the
client as well as changes made to that object on the server (if you have
sync mode enabled).  When you commit these changes, they are applied to
the server.  If that transaction fails, an error is reported.  The
changes are not automatically reverted at this point - they are just
moved back into the uncommitted list.  You probably are explicitly
calling "revertChanges" to undo the problematic changes.

 

When you call "createItem", it queues a change to create this item which
is sent to the server only when you commit.  When that changes is
committed, you can auto-refresh any collections that might include that
item.  Those queries are updated automatically to include that item and
at that point those changes are pushed back to client so the newly
create item may appear in managed collections.  This is why it seems
like DM does not track changes until you commit... only the server knows
which collections that item belongs in.

 

If the client programmer knows which collections this item belongs in,
you can put them in there locally on the client simply by adding them to
the managed array collection.  After the commit, this change is sync'd
with where the server thinks that item actually belongs (i.e. if the
server does not want that item there, it will revert the change you made
on the client, if it agrees, no change is made).

 

I think for most use cases, this creates a pretty manageable way to deal
with your data on the client.  If you want to make a copy so you can
isolate changes, you can use the ObjectUtil.copy utility to create a
copy of that object but you do still have to apply these changes to the
managed instance before you commit.  

 

It would not be that hard to add a new mode so that changes you make are
placed into a separate copy of the managed instance until you commit
successfully.  Let's say you had a form to edit an item, and another
control displaying the current version of the database copy of that
item.  This mode would allow that view to remain displaying the current
version in the database until it commits successfully.

 

 It sounds like this is the kind of approach you are looking for?   Does
anyone else think that would be useful?

 

Jeff

 



From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of fermartel
Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 10:56 AM
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [flexcoders] FDS

 

There is something about FDS which has always seemed a bit ackward to
me.
This is the fact that one must first make changes to the FDS managed
collection to be able to commit these changes. This in itself is
fine, but this means that if I have a grid which displays the managed
collection, the user must first modify this data and commit the
changes to then see the changes revert back to the original values if
the transaction failed. (This does not hold true for createItem(),
because for some reason yet unknown to me, when one calls this method,
it does not reflect on the managed collection...any ideas as to why?).

So the user sees the data displayed change, but on error, it sees it
change back. To me, it would seem more logical to see the data
displayed change only if the transaction was succesful. Maybe this is
because I am used to RemoteObject, which calls the service, and on
"result" is where one does the actual modification to the data
displayed, not before.

Does anyone else find this as a strange flow of events? Or are there
any ways around this? 

One could make a temporary managed collection with the same exact data
as the displayed collection, and make changes to this collection,
commit them, and if successful, then make the same changes to the
displayed collection. This way the user would only see the data
displayed change if the commit was successful. But this seems much
more trouble than its worth.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you!

 

Re: [flexcoders] Re: timezone and dateformatter

[Sam Shrefler]

I've also ran accross this, not so much a bug though.  It works properly in
its use case.  The problem is, there are other use cases with timezones.
Here is my scenario:

I work with a legacy database.  Unfortunately, all datetimes are saved into
the database as UTC, but as the clients time zone.

So say someone in the EST -5 UTC and someone at PST -8 UTC both saved at the
same moment in time (5am EST).  The database would have saved the dates as
following:

EST - 05:00
PST - 02:00

I can't change the behavior due to only being one piece in the grand scheme
of the application.  The problem is, the databse doesnt' know what timezone
these are.  The system was designed to just show that datetime to the user
if they ask for it.  Flash/Flex always converts AMF Dates to the local
timezone.  I've asked for a way to hook into that deserialization, but I
haven't gotten a response.

Therefore, I massage every date I receive and every date I send using the
following...

*

public* *static* *function* getUTCDate(myDate:Date):Date

{

*if* (myDate == *null*)

*return* *null*;

*else
*

*return* *new* Date(myDate.fullYearUTC, myDate.monthUTC, myDate.dateUTC,
myDate.hoursUTC, myDate.minutesUTC, myDate.secondsUTC,
myDate.millisecondsUTC);

}

*public* *static* *function* sendUTCDate(myDate:Date):Date

{

*if* (myDate == *null*)

*return* *null*;

*else
*

{

*var* sDate:Date = *new* Date(Date.UTC(myDate.fullYear, myDate.month,
myDate.date, myDate.hours, myDate.minutes, myDate.seconds,
myDate.milliseconds));

*return* sDate;

}

}

Hope this helps, but I hope even more there is a better solution out
there

Sam

Re: [flexcoders] SQL query with OR clause

[Greg Morphis]

the correct format for a where 'or' clause is
where id = '6' or id = '8' or id = '10'
you can't do
where id = '6' or '8' or '10'

not sure what DB you're using but you might want to try
where id in ('6','8','10')

something like that

Re: [flexcoders] timezone and dateformatter

[Douglas Knudsen]

yes, we had big issues with a app in Flex 1.5 and now 2.0 because of this.
We coded around it by massaging the dates in AS with the clients timezone
offset.  Works well, except for those folks living in Arizona.  For some
reason the Flash Player does NOT pick up their offset correctly.  Outside of
the Navajo Nation, Arizona does not follow day light savings, yet the Flash
player seems to think they do.

[flexcoders] Re: timezone and dateformatter

[Doug Lowder]

That's correct though, isn't it?  If I'm a user in CST and I access 
your app on 4/30 at 9PM, I'd probably be wondering "How could my LAST 
billing date be 5/1, which isn't until tomorrow?"

But if that's what you want, you can add the timezone offset to the 
date being formatted.  If item.lastBillingDate is Date object, 

return df.format( new Date( item.lastBillingDate.getTime() + 
item.lastBillingDate.getTimezoneOffset()*6 ) );

Your Java code should be returning a date in UTC.  If it isn't, 
you'll have to adjust for that offset as well.

[flexcoders] FDS

[fermartel]

There is something about FDS which has always seemed a bit ackward to me.
This is the fact that one must first make changes to the FDS managed
collection to be able to commit these changes.  This in itself is
fine, but this means that if I have a grid which displays the managed
collection, the user must first modify this data and commit the
changes to then see the changes revert back to the original values if
the transaction failed.  (This does not hold true for createItem(),
because for some reason yet unknown to me, when one calls this method,
it does not reflect on the managed collection...any ideas as to why?).

So the user sees the data displayed change, but on error, it sees it
change back.  To me, it would seem more logical to see the data
displayed change only if the transaction was succesful.  Maybe this is
because I am used to RemoteObject, which calls the service, and on
"result" is where one does the actual modification to the data
displayed, not before.

Does anyone else find this as a strange flow of events?  Or are there
any ways around this?  

One could make a temporary managed collection with the same exact data
as the displayed collection, and make changes to this collection,
commit them, and if successful, then make the same changes to the
displayed collection.  This way the user would only see the data
displayed change if the commit was successful.  But this seems much
more trouble than its worth.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you!

[flexcoders] Re: Evaluating JSON String

[Doug Lowder]

I believe you can use a for..in statement to access the property 
names.  Something like:

for (var name in myJsonObj) {
  trace(name + " : " + myJsonObj[name]);
}

Re: [flexcoders] RangeError on SWFLoader

[John Mark Hawley]

SWFLoader::load() is an asynchronous call, so you're never going to be able to 
catch the error in a try block. You should be listening for error events on it 
instead.

[flexcoders] Re: Problems using SSL

[Doug Lowder]

Credit for that solution goes to the guys at Cynergy.

The max-age value lets a cached version sit on the client for x 
seconds for cases where you want to read new data periodically, but 
not necessarily on every visit.  Perfect for my needs.

[flexcoders] SQL query with OR clause

[alehrens]

I'm using HTTPService to do a sql query and it works nicely.  But,
I've not hit a point where I want the query to be a little more complex.  

I want to send this query...

select capacity from capTable where id = ('6' or '8' or '10')

Here's the code I'm currently using

http://localhost:80/QueryDatabase/"; method="GET"
fault="Alert.show(event.fault.message, 'Error')"
result="handleDBQuery(event)">  
  

capacity


capTable
 

id


{ids}
   
  


ids is a bindable variable that is set to ('6' or '8' or '10')

When setting ids to just one value, like ('6'), the query works fine.
 But, when using the multiple IDs, my NewDataSet return value is NULL.  

Please help?

RE: [flexcoders] To newbies...

[Kenneth Sutherland]

I'd have to recommend http://www.silvafug.org/ for the video tutorials.
Great source of tips for all levels.

 

I'd also NOT recommend Flex 2 with actionscript 3, I'll say no more on
the matter other than look at the guys site
http://www.charlesebrown.net/ I'm sure there will be folk that will have
liked his book, but for me the complexity of his site speaks volumes.

The developer kit books from the adobe store (50 US $) Seem to be 
pretty useful so far.

Other then those, I would get a AS 3 cookbook and a design patterns 
book. 

Flex is easy sometimes and a pain in the butt in other situations.  
like any technology i guess.  once you get past the learning curve, 
its goes pretty smoothly.

[flexcoders] Re: Time to start over: XML/db>entry points>tree>thumbnails>main image

[shawn.gibson]

Hi Gordon, thanks:)

Definitely the site will be Flex>CF>SQL (My/MS...not sure yet). Access
is just the quick and dirty way for me to build it - it's visual. I'll
populate a db for real when I am at that stage. For the gallery,
though, it's all going to be CF-generated XML files read from the db,
so that the client uploads xml files as requested, already sitting on
the server as created by the owner (i.e., me) from the db as changes
are made - you add a gallery or image via SQL area admin page, you
spit out a new XML file, and the client reads that. 

Adjacency model seems best for the tree, i.e., so I can populate the
galleries as intuitively as a photograpger would want (I want to give
this to people when it's finished): 

http://sqllessons.com/categories.html

...the db table is obviously simple. The XML file generated by CF,
however, is going to be a nightmare.

I just bought about $5,000 worth of Adobe software (+Win2003Server
SBS) so my commitment is completely to that, no php, or java, or asp,
and right now, FDS doesn't seem something I'd be willing to wrap my
head around because of the complexity.

I DO have the entire thing in my head, well enough to create a
flowchart, but that still doesn't stop me from being completely stupid
regarding making the well-conceived front end talk with the well
conceived (I hope!) back end via CF and various SQL queries.

[flexcoders] validating multiple fields

[Kenneth Sutherland]

I've been following this example on livedocs

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.
htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=1773.html

for how to validate multiple fields.  I can it to work apart from the
setting of the actual errorString on the appropriate input box.

I.E if I have three input boxes and box three has the error, then in the
example from livedocs it puts the error around whatever box I declared
as the listener.  How do I put the error around the appropriate box?
Any of the 3 boxes could have an error.

When debugging I can see that there is a property called actualListeners
which is an array, but its read only and the listener property only
takes a Object.  I have a work around for this which passes in the form
that I'm validating to the custom validator then overriding the 'get
actualListeners()' function, but I'm sure that there must be a better
way of doing this.

 

Thanks

Kenneth.

Thanks Johannes. Can you suggest one. At the moment we just take the

what i was thinking was, if flexbuilder could add a build number 
into the html wrapper, then we could use an ExternalInterface call 
to extract that number and show it in our flex apps.

[flexcoders] Flash pre-loader for flex? Urgent, pelase help

[Giles Roadnight]

Hi All

I've built a pretty simple pre-loader in flash 8 to load our main Flex
app (nearly a MB).

To load the main swf I just use

_root.loadMovie(_root.applicationURL);

but the swf does not appear.

It has now occurred to me that it might be possibel to load a flash 9
swf into a flash 8 swf.

Will I have to start again on the prelaoder adn built it in flex?

How should I load the swf correctly.

I have also tried building the loader in the flash 9 beta as a player
9 swf but I get teh same problem.

The html for the flex app looks like this:

[flexcoders] RangeError on SWFLoader

[Michelle Grigg]

Greetings,

I have been haunted by these fricken #2006 RangeErrors since the start
of my project though I've been able to fix all but one.

I have a SWFLoader throwing a RangeError, and I can't seem to catch
the damn thing.  The irritating thing is that it's also a very
intermittent bug so I have no way of telling for sure it will occur
when first loading my app.

This is the try/catch: 

try
{
myLoader.load( loadSwfEvent.swfName );
}
catch( e : Error )
{
trace( e.errorID + " " + e.name + " " + e.message );
trace( e, ObjectUtil.toString( event ));
}

It doesn't actually call the catch - it simply prints out the error on
the console leading me to believe that the error is actually being
thrown somewhere else, even though the stack trace goes all the way
back to the SWFLoader class.

I initially thought it to be a timing thing - maybe the swfname wasn't
being set properly or something, but investigating solutions along
those lines have been fruitless.

I'm now thinking I should probably be moving the try/catch somewhere
else, but I would have no idea where.

Any ideas?  Similar problems?

Cheers,
Michelle

.. I'll build on that more...

If my checkbox for each band was called 'cBox' and the information I
wanted to pass on was found in the label, would I be assuming the
following code is the right direction?:

public function modifyArray(item:Object):String{
if(cBox.Label != null){
return cBox.label;
}

return "(artist = "+cBox.label+")";;
}

Basically, when I click the checkbox, it adds/removes it from this ^
array. (code - cBox click="modifyArray(artist)")

Just wondering if i'm doing the right thing here to acheive what I
want (being able to pass it on via HTTPService).

Annnyway. Thanks for the help so far!

[flexcoders] Evaluating JSON String

[eric_mahe]

Hi all,

I am using the com.adobe.serialization.json library to parse a dynamic
JSON String like this one:
{"list":[1,2,3],"valid":"O","id":"file"}
It's working pretty well.

The JSON.decode method create an object in which one the  (list,valid,
id) are becoming dynamic variables:

Object
  list = Array
[0] = 1:Number
[1] = 2:Number
[2] = 3:Number
  valid = "O":String
  id = "file":String


The problem is that i need to display the name of the variables names
(list, valid, id in this case) and values in order to allow the user
to change the values in a flex application.

Have anyone experienced the same issue? Any Idea?
Thanks for your help!

P.S.: Note that the JSON string is dynamic, so i need to evaluate the
names of the variables at runtime.

[flexcoders] Tree Item by Index

[flexcoders] variable change / call a function

[sgrace99]

In my custom Component I have a public bindable array collection (tied to my

How can I detect a 
change in the array collection and call a function in my custom component? I 
don't want to 
bind it to component property. I need to call my custom function and perform 
several 
operations based on the new data. I have investigated adding a listener to the 
CollectionEventKind event...but didn't seem to work.  Any thoughts? Have I 
overlooked the 
obvious? Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 SwfLoader unload/reload issue with V8 Swf

[moonusamy]

Here's the example that does not work. v81.swf and v82.swf are Flash 8
swfs while v91.swf and v92.swf are Flash 9 ones (can't attach the swfs -
can mail them to you if you like). If you comment out the lines that
load the v8 files and uncomment the lines that load the v9 version, it
works fine.
Also note that the v8 swf files are generated using JSwiff - not sure if
that has anything to do with the problem. I haven't tried it with swf
files generated through the Flash 8 Authoring env.

Yeah, I was looking for benchmarks.  I am currently using the Express

any comparison studies to figure out if GDS was as/more/less 
performant than LCDS.  That's one of the first things I look for when 
considering use of an alternative to a vendor supplied package/tool.

I'll obviously play around with it, since it's something I'm

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Time to start over: XML/db>entry points>tree>thumbnails>main image

[Gordon Smith]

It sounds to me like you're having problems because Flex is front-end
technology that doesn't talk directly to databases like Access. You need
to decide which middleware your'e going to use on the server side: Java?
ColdFusion? PHP? Flex Data Services? The choice will probably depend on
whether you are hosting your own site or paying a hosting service.
 
BTW, what is an Adjacency modeled gallery table?

Thanks Tom and Tracy. Sorry for the delayed response. My server is
actually not even running...and SuperMicro just said to RMA it. Blah.

I definitely want to do this, in the bigger scheme, myself, and I
think it would be a useless endeavour to be asking you guys to build
this for me...there's no enjoyment in that:) I hope that's not how I
come across...I definitely want to feel the pride I can in seeing this
thing when I finally turn the key and the lights go on...

The front end, this part anyways (gallery mechanism), is almost
completely how I want it, and the db is both on paper and in Access
pretty much ready to go (for the whole thing - galleries, rating
system, blog, image comments, user identification...I'm sure things
will pop up as I build, but the core of what at least the USER will be
considering, is built in the db). The middle is where I am having all
of my problems (excluding the one desire for an Adjacency modeled
gallery table...which I can handle perfectly painlessly if I keep it
XML).

I'll keep going on what I have, and try to work one step at a time. My
biggest problem right now is that I don't at all understand Tracy's
original advice as for building the tree, the XML part and not tagging
things to a result, etc. This part of it is purely programmatic, and
abstract, so I can't wrap my head around it. But I'll get there.

The books are starting to make their way to the shelves, too, which
will help tremendously, and I went to an Adobe seminar last night
(CFUG) which showed front-to-back how to deal with a Flex/CF/SQL CRUD
CFC Remoting mechanism...so all the parts are there, waiting for me to
understand.

The adjacency scripting will kill me, though, that's for sure LOL.

I'm 38, I have wanted to write something beautiful since I started
POKEing colours and sounds in my VIC 20 (36969 and 36976, 36977,
36978, and white noise, 36879...I think LOL) and there's never been a
better time for that to happen than with Flex and CF making
everything, on some level, at least, approachable.

[flexcoders] Re: denying GETs on .NET WSDL web service file...

[scott_flex]

Tom,

Well, http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2 says it supports SSL but it 
also seems to get in the way and cause trust issues for IE when 
capturing traffic... didn't work to well with FireFox either...  It's 
in a beta state, oh well.  I'll look for another free http tool.

Anyway, i guess i'll just have to expose my wsdl files, was hoping to 
get an easy hit by just hiding them.

I'll keep looking, maybe i'm missing something easy, as usual.  I'm 
no web service security expert, so maybe the route i'm going isn't 
that great anyway.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Tree component that doesn't display all nodes?

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi,

You could also write a custom dataDescriptor that subclasses
DefaultDataDescriptor.

In that class override the getChildren() method and only return the children
you want based on the nodes you want filtered.

Peace, Mike

  i see. what i would do is use a lazy loading mechanism. so you only

// in the open node event

var filteredNode:XML = myTree.selectedNode.myFilter;
myTree.selectedNode = filteredNode;

actually, i think there is a way to apply a filter on xmllist collection
non destructively. i think maybe you could put your selected node into an
xml list collection and then filter it. if this was AS2 i'd be able to help

[flexcoders] rendererArray - How to process each renderer in a DataGrid

[darylgmyers]

I need to process each renderer in a DataGrid.  I have found a 
property - rendererArray - on the DataGrid which looks like what I 
need.  The first array element contains the headers and the rest of the 
elements contain the rows of data.  When I debug Flex the rendererArray 
is visible and has what I need, but the application errors 
with "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property rendererArray not found on 
mx.controls.DataGrid and there is no default value."

Is this the way I should be processing the DataGrid renderers or is 
there a better way? 

[flexcoders] Re: Referencing methods in dynamically loaded swfs

Hi Alex, 

Thanks for the advice - however I'm noy sure I understand it. When the
swfLoader source was hard coded I could reference the loaded swf's
props however when the name was dynamic via xml I can't.
CreationComplete is the same in both cases?

Help appreciated

[flexcoders] IMenuBarItemRenderer

[mapper2255]

Good Morning,

I see in a post dated this year a tutorial on doing vertical menu 
using the IMenuBarItemRenderer.

I just purchased Flex Builder. The version is 2.01. That interface 
does not ship with that version.

Anyone know a good link to do vertical menus?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] yFiles ported to Flex (beta1)

[kosir.milan]

Hi all,

just info. yFiles is a good diagramming library, I'm using their yEd
graph editor for long time, because it has powerful layout algorithms
which can  easily handle really big structures...
So, yesterday I discovered, that they released Flex implementation,
which is still in beta, but examples are promising. If somebody is
interesting in diagramming, check it out!

[flexcoders] Does compiler include all the classes from the Flex Library Project used in Flex Project?

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

I have created separate Flex Library Project with a set of reusable classes,
so that I plan to extend it constantly and use it in different projects.
Since not all the library classes from Flex Library Project will be used in
each and every Flex Project, I worry about optimization - does compiler
include all the classes from the Flex Library Project used in Flex Project
into the resulting SWF or only those which have been used?

Thanks you in advance.

Sergey.

You could leverage the cursor class(es), no?  Create your cursor as a

[flexcoders] Re: Tilelist in Flex 2 - what to use instead of getItemAt()?

[bhaq1972]

sorry i didn't respond to your reply..slipped thru.

continuing from Alex, and having a closer look at your original 
post ..flexcoders is so busy and sometimes i just look at the 
title and give an answer...i'll be a good boy and read the question 
properly next time.

what you actually want is to use the TileList.indexToItemRenderer() 
function. that gives u a reference to the itemrenderer

eg.

myTiles.indexToItemRenderer(1)["testFunction"]();
//or
TestComonent(myTiles.indexToItemRenderer(1)).testFunction();
//or
var object1:TestComponent = myTiles.indexToItemRenderer(1) as 
TestComponent;
object1.testFunction();

[flexcoders] stamping an expiration date on cached files

Hi,

My App reloads every 5 sec a XML file. 
How do I avoid from loading the cached one? Alternatively, if my line 
of thought goes the right way, how to I control/set an expiration date 
to the xml file created in the cache directory?

Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Bubble charts with only one bubble

[gaurav1146]

I did face this issue in my application which I had mentioned in the
post titled "Bubble Charts (size of the bubble)". I presumed that it
was due to some error on my part in slicing the ArrayCollection with
the slider movement  which was causing this to happen. I have not
investigated it completely but now that you mention I think there
might be some issue with display of a single bubble on the chart.

Gaurav
