[flexcoders] playerProductInstall.swf file
I just built a flex-based registration form for my usergroup site. People are telling me that it makes them download FlashPlayer 9 when they already have it. Is that normal behavior? If I remove playerProductInstall.swf, then my app simply doesn't load, so there doesn't seem to be an alternative. Yet other flex apps seems to run fine without requiring a download. Can anyone offer some info on this topic? Is there something I can do to get my app to work with the FP 9 that is already loaded on a user's machine? Thanks, Jim Pickering KCDevCore Manager

[flexcoders] Re: yahoomaps POI marker click event, htmltext asfunction
Hi All,
Yeah its pretty intresting to attach ur custom event to the yahoo map
componenet. I will definately like to try and digg in to this.
I will post it here or on my blog at
http://digitallyinsane.wordpress.com
Thanks Michael for inspiring me to work on this...
Cheers!

One more tidbit, using the XPanel logger, logging this from the map,

However I am not yet able to register a new event. I may just hijack
one
of the current ones and pass a new fake object that will let my Flex
app
know it's my custom call.
So, any takers on registering a new event with the yahoomap
component? :-)
If that works, then it's a hack, but a usable hack. Eventually true AS3
map components will be available so this kind of thing won't be as
necessary... keeping fingers crossed. :-)
Thanks for the inspiration all,

Yeah the POI marker click event is fine and quite useful. I think
it was
after reading your post Anupam. :-) However after that, I can't
trigger
anything in the Cairngorm app. I even tried to make a function
with the
original as2map.fla that would simply trigger a new POIMarkerClick
event
with data passed from the asfunction call within the marker. That
hasn't
worked yet either.
I also tried to use FlashInterface which, by itself, should work.
However it blocks the communication of the YahooMap communication
kit as is.
Basically, similar to Anupam's change to the code, I'd like to add an
htmlTextClick function which can be can be called via asfunction.
Something like:
function onHTMLLinkClick(ev:Object) {
var rtnObj:String = new String();
EIBuffer.addCall({method:swfDomId + .onHTMLLinkClick + id,
data:rtnObj});
}
and where it sets up listeners in the mapClip object
myMap.addEventListener('onHTMLLinkClick', onHTMLLinkClick);
and then in the description of a POI Marker have
description:a href=\'asfunction:onHTMLLinkClick,someString\'Click
me.../a
or would this have to be:
description:a
href=\'asfunction:_parent.onHTMLLinkClick,someString\'Click
me.../a
and in the Flex project
mapEventDispather.addEventListener('onHTMLLinkClick',
htmlLinkClickHandler);
So the link would trigger the new event which would call the
function in
the loaded as2map.swf which would then trigger the new event which
would
be picked up by Flex, etc.
So is this possible? Since this function isn't in the original
API, is
it possible to add it this way? It looks like the .addCall would
add it
to the methodQueue array in the ExternalInterfaceBuffer.as file.
Here's
to hoping...
And Benoit, thanks for the tip about adding the setMapSize snippet in
the MapController.as. It sized fine when first loading but that
could be
VERY useful when dynamically resizing.
Thank you to you both. I'll give these a shot and see if there is any
progress with it.

Are you sure you can catch events generated by an href link in the

I think we've tried to play around with the POIMarkerClick event.
But it was only dispatched when you first click on the marker to
open it.
Further click on a link in the htmlText description was not
generating
any POIMarkerClick events, so we could not catch anything.
But may be, we did something wrong, we have to check it out again

Hi michael,
I have done this and its pretty easy,
You can call any flex event on the click of the marker click
there is one event called onPOIMarkerClick in the Yahoo map
component.
You should have the latest code because this event handler was not
there in the previous versions.
I have written a blog entry on this...

[flexcoders] Re: submenu can't show completely
Thankyou all... I have a solution:
Sadly, Menu implementation controls menu-out-of-bounds, with the

var shift:Number = x + width - screen.width;
if (shift 0)
x = Math.max(x - shift, 0);

current_menu.height = 0;
current_menu.width = 0;
this.callLater(this.moveSubmenu, [current_menu, menu_height,

}
}

private function moveSubmenu(current_menu: Menu, menu_height: int,
menu_width: int): void {
var bottom_edge_menu: int = this.rootMenu.y+this.rootMenu.height;
var submenu_edge: int = current_menu.y + menu_height;
var pixels_upper: int = 0;
if (limite_inferior_menu limite_menu) {
pixels_upper= (submenu_edge - bottom_edge_menu);
}
/*restoring menu height and width*/
current_menu.height = menu_height;
current_menu.width = menu_width;
var animate_menu: Sequence = new Sequence();
/* here comes animation sequence creation, using pixels_upper to

animate_menu.play([current_menu]);

Re: [flexcoders] Validating custom component - how to get error to display next to field
Hi, John. My previous message wasn't any good. Sorry. :) The error box is one of components rawChilds. I guess what you need to check is UIComponents validationResultHandler() method. validationResultHandler()method public function validationResultHandler(event:ValidationResultEventhttp://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/events/ValidationResultEvent.html ):void http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/specialTypes.html#void Handles both the valid and invalid events from a validator assigned to this component. You typically handle the valid and invalid events dispatched by a validator by assigning event listeners to the validators. If you want to handle validation events directly in the component that is being validated, you can override this method to handle the valid and invalid events. You typically call super.validationResultHandler(event) in your override. R. On 4/26/07, Roman Protsiuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is Validator you use required=true? R.

RE: [flexcoders] One Singleton many application
If you have two applications that need to share the same variable, look
into creating a RSL where the singleton can exist safely and everyone

If you're using an application shell and loading modules you can create
a static class or variable to house the singleton.

Run the program and edit a column (making itemEditEnd fire). If done
correctly, the Alert.show() will result in a large stack dump and an
undefined error.

Re: [flexcoders] addChild problems
Does not work just means it isn't showing up on screen - something is wrong with how I am adding stuff to the display list. MainApp has the canvas object, and the content object - creates an instance of any class that extends my ContentTemplate class. I don't see why canvas.addChild(contentObject) does not work. Passing a reference of that canvas to the constructor, then canvasReference.addChild(anyObject) works. So in MainApp I have something like this: contentHolder = new Canvas(); this.addChild(contentHolder); contentScreen = new SampleScreen(contentHolder); // SampleScreen extends a template class that extends UIComponent Inside SampleScreen: question = new Text(); question.text = some text; contentHolder.addChild(question); All this works But, with all these classes that are going to extend SampleScreen I really don't want to pass that reference to contentHolder around. What is confusing me, is why I couldn't do this: MainApp contentHolder = new Canvas(); this.addChild(contentHolder); contentScreen = new SampleScreen(); contentHolder.addChild(contentScreen); // HERE is what I want to work, contentScreen extends UIComponent - so in my mind it should work (show up on screen). SampleScreen question = new Text(); question.text = some text; this.addChild(question); // HERE is the other change from the working version. Since SampleScreen extends UIComponent, and above I have added it to the canvas' display list, why is it not showing up? Thanks much for looking...

[flexcoders] ArrayCollections as source for charting
I am writing a flex application that stores a dataset in an arrayCollection called stats. Through use of the application, the stats:ArrayCollection is updated. One particular state of the application has 3 charts covering stats for thisWeek, thisMonth and thisQuarter. Right now, I have a single chart working and want to add in the other two. Since the base data for each chart is stored in stats:ArrayCollection what should I use as the dataProvider for each chart? Since all the data is inside one ArrayCollection, should I keep a single array collection then simply make a function for each period and use the function as the dataProvider? If I do it this way, will the charts update when the base arrayCollection is changed? My original thought was to store 3 additional arrayCollection objects, one for each period and update the correct object when the data changes. This doesn't seem like the most elegant manner to handle the situation. Any advice is appreciated. Dan Wilson

Re: [flexcoders] Re: yahoomaps POI marker click event, htmltext asfunction
Yeah the POI marker click event is fine and quite useful. I think it was
after reading your post Anupam. :-) However after that, I can't trigger
anything in the Cairngorm app. I even tried to make a function with the
original as2map.fla that would simply trigger a new POIMarkerClick event
with data passed from the asfunction call within the marker. That hasn't
worked yet either.
I also tried to use FlashInterface which, by itself, should work.
However it blocks the communication of the YahooMap communication kit as is.
Basically, similar to Anupam's change to the code, I'd like to add an
htmlTextClick function which can be can be called via asfunction.
Something like:
function onHTMLLinkClick(ev:Object) {
var rtnObj:String = new String();
EIBuffer.addCall({method:swfDomId + .onHTMLLinkClick + id,
data:rtnObj});
}
and where it sets up listeners in the mapClip object
myMap.addEventListener('onHTMLLinkClick', onHTMLLinkClick);
and then in the description of a POI Marker have
description:a href=\'asfunction:onHTMLLinkClick,someString\'Click
me.../a
or would this have to be:
description:a
href=\'asfunction:_parent.onHTMLLinkClick,someString\'Click me.../a
and in the Flex project
mapEventDispather.addEventListener('onHTMLLinkClick', htmlLinkClickHandler);
So the link would trigger the new event which would call the function in
the loaded as2map.swf which would then trigger the new event which would
be picked up by Flex, etc.
So is this possible? Since this function isn't in the original API, is
it possible to add it this way? It looks like the .addCall would add it
to the methodQueue array in the ExternalInterfaceBuffer.as file. Here's
to hoping...
And Benoit, thanks for the tip about adding the setMapSize snippet in
the MapController.as. It sized fine when first loading but that could be
VERY useful when dynamically resizing.
Thank you to you both. I'll give these a shot and see if there is any
progress with it.

I think we've tried to play around with the POIMarkerClick event.
But it was only dispatched when you first click on the marker to open it.
Further click on a link in the htmlText description was not generating
any POIMarkerClick events, so we could not catch anything.
But may be, we did something wrong, we have to check it out again...

Hi michael,
I have done this and its pretty easy,
You can call any flex event on the click of the marker click
there is one event called onPOIMarkerClick in the Yahoo map component.
You should have the latest code because this event handler was not
there in the previous versions.
I have written a blog entry on this...

[flexcoders] Flex 1.5/Flash Remoting Gateway Problem
Hi, It's been a while since I posted on the group, I've been lucky enough to not have many big problems while developing with Flex in the past 6 months! But last week whilst testing a significant section of my flex application, it was discovered that the flash client was having problems receiving a result from the flash remoting gateway on certain occasions. This is a BIG problem, especially as I am coming to the end of the contract with my employer, and I'm trying to get the project wrapped up for next week! I am developing in Flex 1.5 (using remote objects to consume the Coldfusion CFCs), with Coldfusion MX 7.0.2 running in the back end, and MS SQL 2005 (although i dont think the databse is anything to do with the problem), on a Windows Server 2003 SP2 server. I have ruled out a number of issues that I believe could be the problem, including: Network connections (the flash client can communicate with the server no problem, initially!) Coldfusion (the CFC method is being invoked successfully, and returning the result to - I dump the result to a html log file) Flash Remoting Gateway (The log files confirm that the gateway completes sending the result back to the ) Flash Client (I have tried replicating the steps followed on a number of different client machines, all fail at the same point) When the Flex application initially loads, it invokes 23 methods in the Coldfusion CFC, which returns all the results with no problem. The user then adds some data to the form on the flash client (the Flex application). The form contains a combo box that the user selects a category from. When the category changes, a CFC method is invoked (one of the 23 that was invoked only moments earlier), which returns a Boolean value, to check if the category has any sub categories. From time to time (and more often than not) when this method is invoked, the flash client just sits idle with the timer icon spinning around (it is waiting for a response from the flash remoting gateway). I have checked the flash remoting gateway log files, and the result is being returned by the gateway. It seems that the flash client is not receiving the response. There are many other sections in the application where flex/flash clients consume Coldfusion CFC's, again they can be temperamental and hang, waiting for a response indefinitely! I believe my Flex application is ok, as it successfully invokes the CFC method without any problems; it just seems to hang on certain occasions. Maybe the flash remoting gateway is not correctly configured? I also thought it might be a http connection issue with the server, but as far as i know, the CFCs are invoked, the result is sent back, and the http connection is closed. I also thought it might have been a session-based issue with the Coldfusion CFCs, but i think i have ruled that out. If anyone could help me I would be in serious debt to them! As I said I am coming to the end of this project and I don't need this problem right now. I have tired ruling out every possibility, but to no end can I find the source of the problem.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Goes Open Source
LOL, I hope not... world domination seems a little extreme for a compiler, debugger, component framework and the other bits and pieces... The discussion has been interesting though. I really like the idea that developers could weave their own components into the framework: See Ryan Stewart: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Stewart/?p=353 But what interests me most is how Adobe will go open source but still retain control as they gradually allow people outside the company to run with sub projects within the Flex system. (Again see Ryan's article.) I hope taking Flex open source is a huge success because I'd like to see Adobe do something similar with the player. (To RULE THE WORLD in Greg's terms?) My guess (and I really don't know) is that many people in Adobe can't imagine how they would take the player open source in a meaningful way. It is a highly optimized and size-constrained piece of code. For example one question would be how could Adobe begin to provide the community with a way to own sub projects? One tantalizing possible answer is for Adobe to look at re-engineering the player to adopt an extension mechanism of some type. The strategy is risky because no one wants an Acrobat player experience for Flash but it could solve a lot of problems. There was a fitc session that I couldn't attend where I understand the Flash player group asked for comments on what to put into the player in the future. I imagine there were all sorts of requests like hardware accelerated 3D, screen sharing, and better video codecs. It's hard for Adobe to add those sorts of things quickly without a player extension mechanism. It's probably impossible for them to keep the player size small and add many of the big important things designers and developers want. So it seems there are a lot of good drivers for going with introducing a more extensible/modular architecture for the player: 1.it provides an opportunity for real participation in an eventual open source initiative for the player 2.the player becomes more agile (and therefore competitive) with smaller extensions coming out in-between major player upgrade cycles 3.Adobe can add newer more powerful features to the player without bloating the initial download size much more. Extensions would have to download once as needed. There are probably a lot of reasons folks inside Adobe know about for not doing this that I'm not aware of. For example another thing no one wants to see is a Windows Media Player experience where the player announces it can't find the right codec to play your video. But if those things could be overcome this note is my personal request to Adobe to continue the process you started with AS3 and make it happen for the player too.

[flexcoders] Re: yahoomaps POI marker click event, htmltext asfunction
Hi All,
I was just googleing the asfunction and found this link
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/migration.html
See that asfunction is not supported in Action Script 3.0 and the Flex
2.0 is using Flash 9 which in turn using AS3 so i think its not that
straight forward to write asfunction and handling the event..
Although yahoo map component is written in as2 but we are consuming it
in as3.. My instinct says that there will be some other way that we
can handle the link click event..
Working on it..
Keep u posted

asfunction
Hi michael,
I have done this and its pretty easy,
You can call any flex event on the click of the marker click
there is one event called onPOIMarkerClick in the Yahoo map component.
You should have the latest code because this event handler was not
there in the previous versions.
I have written a blog entry on this...
Check it out..

Re: [flexcoders] Re: yahoomaps POI marker click event, htmltext asfunction
Hi there Anupam,
Actually I figured out a way yesterday. The asfunction link calls a
function in the map which then triggers an event in the AS2 map which is
passed through a new EIBuffer.addCall which is received by a new event
handler in MapEventDispatcher.as. The string parameter of the asfunction
is passed through as a data object and used in Flex and every thing is
dandy. The only limitation I ran into was the length of text usable with
asfunction. I believe I saw somewhere that it was 116 characters as a
limit because of hrefs in general, but it's OK. It works now. :-P
Many thanks!

Hi All,
I was just googleing the asfunction and found this link

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/migration.html
See that asfunction is not supported in Action Script 3.0 and the Flex
2.0 is using Flash 9 which in turn using AS3 so i think its not that
straight forward to write asfunction and handling the event..
Although yahoo map component is written in as2 but we are consuming it
in as3.. My instinct says that there will be some other way that we
can handle the link click event..
Working on it..
Keep u posted

Yeah the POI marker click event is fine and quite useful. I think it
was
after reading your post Anupam. :-) However after that, I can't trigger
anything in the Cairngorm app. I even tried to make a function with the
original as2map.fla that would simply trigger a new POIMarkerClick
event
with data passed from the asfunction call within the marker. That
hasn't
worked yet either.
I also tried to use FlashInterface which, by itself, should work.
However it blocks the communication of the YahooMap communication
kit as is.
Basically, similar to Anupam's change to the code, I'd like to add an
htmlTextClick function which can be can be called via asfunction.
Something like:
function onHTMLLinkClick(ev:Object) {
var rtnObj:String = new String();
EIBuffer.addCall({method:swfDomId + .onHTMLLinkClick + id,
data:rtnObj});
}
and where it sets up listeners in the mapClip object
myMap.addEventListener('onHTMLLinkClick', onHTMLLinkClick);
and then in the description of a POI Marker have
description:a href=\'asfunction:onHTMLLinkClick,someString\'Click
me.../a
or would this have to be:
description:a
href=\'asfunction:_parent.onHTMLLinkClick,someString\'Click me.../a
and in the Flex project
mapEventDispather.addEventListener('onHTMLLinkClick',
htmlLinkClickHandler);
So the link would trigger the new event which would call the
function in
the loaded as2map.swf which would then trigger the new event which
would
be picked up by Flex, etc.
So is this possible? Since this function isn't in the original API, is
it possible to add it this way? It looks like the .addCall would add it
to the methodQueue array in the ExternalInterfaceBuffer.as file. Here's
to hoping...
And Benoit, thanks for the tip about adding the setMapSize snippet in
the MapController.as. It sized fine when first loading but that
could be
VERY useful when dynamically resizing.
Thank you to you both. I'll give these a shot and see if there is any
progress with it.

Are you sure you can catch events generated by an href link in the

I think we've tried to play around with the POIMarkerClick event.
But it was only dispatched when you first click on the marker to
open it.
Further click on a link in the htmlText description was not
generating
any POIMarkerClick events, so we could not catch anything.
But may be, we did something wrong, we have to check it out again...

[flexcoders] KeyBoardEvents - Flex can't hide control key sequences from Internet Explorer
If anyone has a solution that doesn't involve JavaScript in the html
wrapper I'd love to hear it...
The problem is, Internet Explorer interprets control-key sequences
(such as ctrl-r which reloads the browser window) regardless of
whether your flex app captures the keystrokes or not, regardless of
whether you setFocus() or not. The keystrokes still bubble to the
browser. I have tested this both in Firefox and IE7, in Firefox the
swf captures the control sequences without disturbing the browser, in
IE7 the swf also captures the control sequences, but the browser also
reacts to them which can be disastrous from the perspective of the
application.
This note from Adobe makes me think they have not come up with a
simple fix for this yet:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Partsfile=events_054_21.html
The only solution right now seems to be using JS in the wrapper to
modify the browser behavior. Here are the related leads I've found so
far:
http://santrajan.blogspot.com/2007/03/cross-browser-keyboard-handler.html
http://www.colettas.org/?p=69
I'd be happy to hear if anyone else has a better solution.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Goes Open Source
Most definitely. In fact, outside of the bug base being made public in the June timeframe along with some other infrastructure enhancements, you're probably not going to be a whole lot change until after Flex 3 (aka Moxie) is released in the second half of this year. I say that because Adobe employees will still be the sole committers of any changes to the SDK through the end of the Flex 3 release cycle, so while you'll be able to contribute before then, it's not guaranteed to make it into the Flex 3 release. Definitely take some time and read the links below, as it's going to be really easy for one slight mis-statement on these types of forums to skew the reality of this announcement (including any made by me!): http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex:Open_Source http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Open_Source_FAQ http://groups.google.com/group/flex-open-source -- Adobe employees are answering specific questions here, I see.

It took a day for this post to show up on Yahoo, and in the meantime I have resolved the issue. Turns out that I was passing a WideString from a windows server to Flex (also on Windows).

Situation now is that I have a Model, which contains e.g. SelectedObject. I use this var to store the selected object by users in the interface. No problems so far. But now I want to be able to let the user clear that selectedobject. I am tempted to just use AppModel.SelectedObject=null in a view. But the thought is running in my head that it might be neater to create a SelectedObjectClearedEvent and attach a command to that which contains the logic if it is possible to clear it. Question in the bigger picture is this: Are cairngorm events as is supposed to be used only when there is a I want to call backend- event? Or are View related events (or any other events in that matter) supposed to be Cairngorm events too? And on top of that, how do you (Cairngorm users out there) give your other events a place in your structure? For example, my model also dispatches a custom event which has nothing to do with the backend. I use it to listen to any changes in a Collection (Default ArrayCollection events didn't do the trick).

[flexcoders] Flickr and Flex Implementation
I am working on a photo gallery app that is supposed to access private images from a Flickr account. While it's pretty straight forward accessing publicly viewable images from a Flickr user or account, there seems to be a big problem with accessing private images AND keep everything user friendly. Here is what I am finding: When using the Flex Flickr API, I get stuck with displaying a separate window to authorize the Flex application to access the private images. That's not the fault of the API, but rather a way Flickr is implementing their authorization scheme. From a user's perspective, this of course is silly for two reasons: Number one, why having a RIA that keeps everything integrated and then going outside of the web application to authorize access, and secondly, this exposes the Flickr account in the secondary browser window, which I definitely don't want. I thought I had found a workaround by simply just calling the authorization URL in a URLLoader like this: var auth_url:String = flickrService.getLoginURL( frob, AuthPerm.READ ); var loginLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var loginRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(auth_url); loginLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loginRequestComplete); loginLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,loginSecurityError); In the loginRequestComplete method I then proceed to getting the frob. This works PERFECT on my local machine. I don't have to pop up a separate browser window to authorize the application with Flickr and everything proceeds to load the private images in the Flex application. However, moving this to the web site, I get the dreaded security error that states that the application cannot access data from the Flickr URL. I looked at the URLs. Here is what I find: auth_url in the above code snippet will start with http://api.flickr.com/services/auth/?api_key=..., targeting the api.flickr.com, for which Flickr has set up a crossdomain.xml file. However, to check what's happening with the authorization process I use the auth_url n a browser window and find that there is a redirect that happens back to a URL of http://www.flickr.com/services/auth/?api_key=... This means that my security error is triggered, because we are getting a response back from the flickr.com domain and not the api.flickr.com domain, at least that's what I assume is happening. So, long write up and short question: Has anyone made this work? What I am essentially after is a way to get to the private images through the Flex Flickr API without having to display the Flickr authorization window. Thanks for any suggestions! Jurgen

Hello All, I know there are lots of people using this, so I wanted to ask if this component can perform some functions that the standard Image Component can do. With the standard Flex Image Component, I can move the Content around inside the container, independent of the container itself. I do this quite often, if I have an Image that is quite large - and has a lot of extraneous background stuff that I don't want to be displayed. With the Flex Image, I size place the container where I need it to be - then I move scale the Content around within the container - in order to show only the parts that I want. The SuperImage Component doesn't have a Content Property - so this leads me to believe, that I can't perform the same functions as the Image. Is this the right assumption to make? If so, does anybody have any further ideas, on how I can get more control over the content when using the SuperImage? Thanks in advance, for any information offered on this topic. Mike
RE: [flexcoders] Question on Ely's SuperImage Component
Hi Mike. There is a _content property in the SuperImage, which is essentially the same as the Image.content property. However, the SuperImage actively maintains the size and position of the content, so I don't think you can guarantee that changes you make to its position will stick. So, two options: 1) Grab the source, and make the modifications you need. An 'offset' might be a nice property to add, and something we could integrate back into the main source. 2) Wrap the Super Image in a Canvas. And move the SUperImage around inside the canvas instead.

[flexcoders] Re: datagrid cell renderers
thanks for the suggestion manish do you have an example of this working? from what i can figure, it looks as though the sprite is just a template for the row to fill a shape the same shape as whatever the sprite is. it looks like the same one gets reused for each row and just shifted down, as when i attach anything to it, they just get shifted down as the grid draws more rows and everything is attached to the same sprite.

RE: [flexcoders] Question on Ely's SuperImage Component
Thanks Ely! My thoughts exactly :) I just wanted to ask you first, before investing time into an alternate solution. That xOffset and yOffset would be a pretty cool addition to your future versions of SuperImage. Either way, you did a WONDERFUL job on this component. Just adding the Border and DropShadow properties, you increased the value of SuperImage versus the standard Image Component, by 10-fold... Thank you for sharing this component with the community, as well as everything else you've put out there. You are a very good programmer - I can tell just by examining your source-code - it's well thought out, clean, easy to read and most important, quite functional. Take care and thank you :) Mike From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ely Greenfield Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 10:50 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Question on Ely's SuperImage Component Hi Mike.

[flexcoders] Round corners with Tab Navigator
Hello, I am trying to use rounded corners (cornerRadius) on a tab navigator. Unfortunately it also rounds the upper left corner of the first canvas which makes it unsightly. One could use paddingLeft to move the tabs a little to the right, but that doesn't look to great either. One could underlay the tab navigator at the upper left corner with a mini-canvas, but that only works, if you have no border. I need a solid border... Has anyone come up with a good solution for this? Thanks a mill..
[flexcoders] Disallowing selection of certain items in datagrid vs. shift-click multi-select
I have a datagrid where allowMutipleSelection is true. I'm trying to
disallow selection of certain rows in the grid. I tried hooking into
the ListEvent.CHANGE event and removing disallowed items from the
selectedItems array:
addEventListener(ListEvent.CHANGE, selectionChangeHandler);
private function selectionChangeHandler(event:ListEvent):void
{
var items:Array = new Array();
for each (var item:Object in selectedItems)
{
if (itemIsSelectable(item))
items.push(item);
}
selectedItems = items;
}
private function itemIsSelectable(item:Object):Boolean
{
// determine whether item is selectable...
:
}
This works fine for single-click and ctrl-click selection, but somehow
the very existence of code inside selectionChangeHandler breaks
shift-click selection. What I mean is that if I include the code
above, then if you try to multi-select via shift-click, by the time
you get into selectionChangeHandler, selectedItems contains only a
single item (the starting item). This is before my code has even run!
Yet if you comment out the code inside the handler, shift-click works
normally.
I *think* this looks like a timing issue since if I run in debug mode
and single-step all the way through mouseDownHandler (all the way up
the superclass chain to ListBase), then shift-click is okay.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work? Or
alternatively, another way to disallow selection of particular items?
Thanks!
[flexcoders] Re: Open source Flex (incl. compiler)
To be honest I am not surprised that flex is going open source and was just talking about this with a friend of mine a day or so ago. I figured it was only a matter of time. Logically it makes sense and I think it's a smart move on Adobe's part. In doing so they open up the doors to developers from all walks to jump in and get their hands dirty with flex and effectively ramp up development on Flex. This in turn leads to better adoption of the platform, better components, integration etc etc. Plus from a business standpoint they're still making money with FDS and going to increase the demand for said product with greater adoption of Flex. All the same kudos and thank you to Adobe! - Kyle VanVranken

[flexcoders] BP=?: 1 ArrayCollection, different selection criteria, same time
I have one ArrayCollection that holds all of the data I've retrieved from my (RemoteObject) data service, and I need to display it in 2 UI components, but with different filter conditions at the same time (e.g., imagine an ArrayCollection of SnackItems, where one DataGrid is showing you the CandyBars, and the other is showing you the FruitCups at the same time). I know I can accomplish this by creating a separate ArrayCollection for each UI component, and assigning them different filter functions - but is this best practice? It seems like I should be able to avoid copying my data in order to view it in different ways simultaneously. Could this involve creating multiple ViewCursors on the same ArrayCollection? Or am I overestimating the (performance/memory) cost of creating multiple ArrayCollections of the same source data? Thanks for any suggestions! -Peter Demling Lexington, MA

Perhaps you can post a working example somewhere or at

This is a little complex, but I'll try to describe what's going on to
the best of my ability.
1. Create a new Flex Application.
2. Add a Canvas or whatever and give it an id.
3. Create a new Custom Control that is a DataGrid.
4. Make the DataGrid editable and give it a dataProvider and at least
one column.
5. Add itemEditEnd event.
6. Have the listener method fire an Alert.show( test)
7. close the Custom Control.
8. Create a mx:Script section in the main app.
9. create a private var (x) that is an instance of the Custom Control.
10. Add initialize event.
11. Have the listener assign x = new Custom Control Name()
12. addChild(x)
Run the program and edit a column (making itemEditEnd fire). If done
correctly, the Alert.show() will result in a large stack dump and an
undefined error.
My question is: Is this my fault? What did I do wrong?

The other thing you could do is create an image to use as the background with some 9-slice proerties on it that has 3 rounded corners and one not. Or check out some custom border components out there that might help you get the effect your looking for.

Unfortunately it also rounds the upper left corner of the first canvas which makes it unsightly. One could use paddingLeft to move the tabs a little to the right, but that doesn't look to great either. One could underlay the tab navigator at the upper left corner with a mini-canvas, but that only works, if you have no border. I need a solid border... Has anyone come up with a good solution for this? Thanks a mill..

RE: [flexcoders] accessing amf3 remote services using netConnection instead of removteObject
It's not well documented, but basically you create a NetConnection, set the

on to the server side method.
See classes below (watch wrapping).

[flexcoders] FF and Java sessions
As some of you may already know, when performing a file upload with Flex to a Java servlet, a new session is created not matching the existing session the user has with the server when their Flex app actually loads. I've read some posts and see that ppl are appending the JSESSIONID to the url to get the same session to be used by the server when an upload request is sent by a Flex app. By doing: var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(/billing/servlet/FileSvlt;JSESSIONID= + jSessionId); But this doesnt work for me any reason why? something I am doing wrong?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: accessing amf3 remote services using netConnection instead of removteObject
Hey Mark,
No I am really just trying to create a very compact replacement for
remoteObject. I want to create a single function that can do everything that
remoteObject does with instantiation setting destinations and listeners etc.
The problem is that actually invoking the remote function cant be done with
an args array with remote object.
The reason I want to do all of this is to bottleneck all remoting calls in
this library I am building in one place. It is being ported to an alternate
platform and device and all the remoting stuff is going to have to be
swapped out so I want to have it exist in one place and have all the pieces
of the code that need it to use this one routine. Because of the args issue
above remoteObject doesnt lend itself to this strategy.

Without that code it seems to be working nicely now. I've had a test

RE: [flexcoders] Click through a Container
I don't think this is easy to do. How much interactivity with the Button do you actually need? When you roll over the button, do you need it to highlight? When you click, do you need the button to depress? Or do you just need the button's click handler to execute? And I'm curious... why do you need to have a translucent Canvas over a Button? - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Claudia Barnal Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 3:30 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Click through a Container Hi, How can I click through a Container (Canvas in my case) that has a backgroundColor set and a 0.2 backgroundAlpha.

[flexcoders] Re: accessing amf3 remote services using netConnection instead of removteObject
Hey Hank,
I know you can invoke a remote object and pass the args in an array.
We just did this very thing in our data management implementation.
Here's some reference code:
// create remote object.
// notice the placeholder for the DESTINATION_NAME
var channelSet:ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
var channel:Channel = ServerConfig.getChannel( my-amf );
channelSet.addChannel(channel);
var remoteObject:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject( DESTINATION_NAME );
remoteObject.channelSet = channelSet;
var remoteMethod:AbstractOperation;
// get a reference to the operation.
remoteMethod=remoteObject.getOperation( METHOD_YOU_NEED_TO_INVOKE );
// set the arguments. Notice it is an array
remoteMethod.arguments = args;
// invoke the function, get asyncToken
var asyncToken:AsyncToken = remoteMethod.send();
Hope this helps. Let me know if I am not answering your question :)
Thanks,
Mark

Hey Mark,
No I am really just trying to create a very compact replacement for
remoteObject. I want to create a single function that can do
everything that
remoteObject does with instantiation setting destinations and
listeners etc.
The problem is that actually invoking the remote function cant be
done with
an args array with remote object.
The reason I want to do all of this is to bottleneck all remoting
calls in
this library I am building in one place. It is being ported to an
alternate
platform and device and all the remoting stuff is going to have to be
swapped out so I want to have it exist in one place and have all the
pieces
of the code that need it to use this one routine. Because of the
args issue
above remoteObject doesnt lend itself to this strategy.

Hi Hank,
Is the end goal to route the invocation via RTMP?

One question. Is there any way to use the destination concept
since I
already have all of that defined on the FDS/Server side of things?
Thanks

It's not well documented, but basically you create a
NetConnection, set

encoding, and run NetConnection.call() where the first param is
the fully

See classes below (watch wrapping).

Re: [flexcoders] Click through a Container
Hi Gordon, I do need as much interactivity as possible :) Isn't there something like turn shield on or off? I noticed that if you don't define a background color or alpha, you can interact with the button. As for the actual WHY question... the answer is: The designer wants it. It is really not just one button under the translucent piece... it is a part of the application, and the button and other controls happens to be right there.

Re: [flexcoders] Error #1034: Type Coercion failed
Would it help to make your HTTPService resultFormat e4x and not use
mx:Model for categorienAC, but rather use an XMLList?
mx:Script
![CDATA[
* var **categorienAC : XMLList = new XMLList();*
private function xmlLoaded():void {
categorienAC = srv.lastResult.categorien.categorie;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:HTTPService id=srv url=categorien.xml useProxy=false
result=xmlLoaded(); *resultFormat=e4x*/
Hope that helps,

[flexcoders] Re: Round corners with Tab Navigator
Thanks this was very helpful. I got rid of the tiny gap, by setting the tab navigators bordercolor and the tabDetails bordercolor to the same as the background color of the container... looks perfect.

[flexcoders] problems with repeater
Hello! I'm trying to create forum, and the best solution i could think of was a repeater function. But i stuck with a little problem: When i create dynamically for example Accordions canvas and in it DataGrid i cant think of a way to assign every different DataGrid different dataProvider. Is it somehow possible? I can think a different solution to this problem: To have one source for all datagrids, but to form it every time i change Accordions canvas, but i dont know how to know which one is selected? Any tips or suggestions? :) Sincerely, Tadas
