Hi Scott!

I just don't like the browser part of it. Makes it all too complex, same 
from RIAs in Flex/Flash, though. Desktop Applications like Apollo and 
WPF/Avalon are more my thing.

Yes, expression/Web looks nice even got good reviews from a popular 
magazine :) Trillion times better then FrontPage, even MSFT themself 
know that app sucked...

Cool, if you see Silverlight as another piece in your online delivery
solution great, if you think it's pure evil - don't use it. It's great to
have  choice of offerings like this and more power to one and all :)

p.s
Frontpage = Expression Web in terms of the next generation of Web Designer
tool for Microsoft. If you want developer base functionaity (C# etc), go
with Visual Studio Web Express etc..

RE: [flexcoders] Function to check if component supports a style?

describeType() can give you information about class's [Style] metadata.
But you have to use the -keep-as3-metadata compilation option to tell
the MXML compiler which metadata to compile into the SWF.

So I know there is a function to check if an object has a property
(object.hasOwnProperty()), but is there a way of determining if an
object supports a style? I want to allow the user to alter some style
properties own their own through the UI, but I don't want to be
setting nonexistent styles and was hoping there was a way of verifying
if a style existed for a component.

So something like button.hasStyle("paddingLeft") should return true,
but button.hasStyle("paddingg") should return false.

[dorkie dork from dorktown]

erm, i dont think so. what about visual interdev? you say it got reborn. no
its not frontpage. its a completely new and different program. unless you
can run your frontpage files in it Expression Web != frontpage.

you wrote,
I'll also talk more about how Adobe CS3 products can work with Expression
tools etc bottom line, there is no winner, just mashups of cool RIA
technologies.

no. thats not true. when i say, i want to choose a technology to use whoever
i choose to use is the winner of my decision. so if silverlight doesn't
support the features i need and the platforms i need then it will never
"win" my bid. if it doesn't support *me* and my project then its not even in
the running.

ps it could mash together with other apps if i choose multiple technologies
but i want one tool to develop in. i hate the mashup mash up development the
web has created. html talking to css talks to javascript talks to ajax talks
to java talks to database. were sending messages all over the place.
although flex helps this you still have 1 dummy html wrapper + 1 swf + 1
server side technology + 1 optional db. i had to give a swf to another
developer at work. it was loading in all the images and css. we had run into
path issues so i asked if he wanted everything embedded. i gave him one file
from then on. from 30 files to 1 swf.

Frontpage is now - Expression Web (re-modeled and re-done to make it
smarter etc).
ASP Classic got moved to ASP.NET, ASP.NET 2.0 is extremely popular for the
RAD approach it provides. Now we have ASP Futures release which combined
with Silverlight is pushing this evolution forward.

Microsoft are extremely committed to the Apple platform, if we weren't you
would would not of seen Silverlights launchpad event to be demo'd on a Mac.
It's about a series of channelled offerings and Apple users aren't being
left out on the Mac.

Again there are three tiers of offerings here, Ultimate Experience (WPF),
Great Experience (Silverlight) and Good Experience (AJAX/HTML). Our value
proposition to developers in the current .NET space that they have the
ability to move between these three tiers using their C#/VB.NET passports
mixed with XAML. Now if folks want to jump on board from the Flex world,
that's fine but I doubt Flex will "die" simply because Microsoft is in the
room, as Scott.G said this isn't a zero sum game,no two brands will "own"
the market.Silverlight and Live.com are a solution service that we think

[flexcoders] Tree not working when expanding

[randall_salas]

Hi:
  I just noticed a bug in the Flex Tree component. If I add children
automatically, when itemOpen event is triggered, I get the next error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
at mx.controls::Tree/::buildUpCollectionEvents()
at
mx.controls::Tree/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::onTweenEnd()
at mx.effects::Tween/endTween()
at
mx.effects::Tween/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::doInterval()
at mx.effects::Tween$/::timerHandler()
at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::tick()

So, I am attaching the code that replicates this example. If you try
to expand a node that is "owner" element, it will add a car and suv if
this owner does not have any vehicle. Then, if you try to expand suv
or car node, you will get the error.

  I think that is due that car and sub nodes are set to isBranch=true.
But I need to do it in this way, since I may want to add some other
nodes under car and sub like: colors, etc.

So, do you find something wrong with my code? or it is just a bug in
the tree.

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Uploading File/ Post Request

[iko_knyphausen]

Here is one way to do this. The receiving script or cgi will find the
posted fields in the Fields collection of the Request object.  The
function below is called after the fileRef.browse() method and after the
user selected a file from the file dialog.

private function selectHandler(event : Event) : void
{
   var params:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
params.VAR1 = "Some Value";
params.VAR2 = "Another Value";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("serverside_script"); 
//asp, cfm, php, pl
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = params;
fileRef.upload(request);
}

Hi Guys:
  I was looking at this link:

I wonder if any of you have an idea about how to drag the panel as
well as how to implement the reflection over this object.

Thanks a lot

Any suggestions?

Well I'm compiling the swf with the embedded font on a PC, so I use
the Windows path. I was bringing the compiled swf with the font loaded
inside of it over to the Mac to see if it would be able to load the
font there.

Does anyone know how to name the new variables?

Hello,

I had this problem too with my datagrid, it was solved by looping
though the columns array and setting the headerWordWrap to true and
setting a HeaderHeight on the datagrid.  Note that you need to modify
the columns array, then re assign it to the datagrid before use.

RE: [flexcoders] Connection pools in the FlashPlayer and forcing a close of an URLLoader/Stream

The Player uses the browser's network layer so it's all about whether

close of an URLLoader/Stream



Hello, I'm running into an issue with URLLoader::close (and 
URLStream::close) not actually doing a low-level close of the 
underlying TCP connection.

Basically we have a situation in which we're doing a blocked poll 
against a server, and need to interrupt that blocked request in order 
to submit a new (higher prio) request. I've tried doing a close() 
call on the connection, tried doing a close and then ensuring that 
the URLLoader object is not reused, but it seems that the Player 
never actually attempts to close the underlying socket. 

I'm guessing that the failure to close is due to the fact that the 
flash player seems to be utilizing a connection pool behind the 
scenes:
It seems that if I do a loadPolicyFile call, followed by a load via 
an URLLoader against the same host, Flash will open 2 keep-alive 
connections, and will then use one or the other underlying connection 
for all subsequent requests. This appears to cause an issue in 
certain browsers that limit the total number of persistent socket 
connections (if you check about:config in firefox you can see that 
network." http.max-persistent-connections-per-server" is set to 2 by 
default, both of which get used up by the flash player instance).

So my questions are: 
1) Is there a way to force the Player to actually close an underlying 
connection? 
2) Is there a way to prevent the URLLoader from using a keep-alive 
based connection?

Thanks,

RE: [flexcoders] Why aren't we allowed to process the event queue? (eg: like DoEvents)

Calllater, intervals and what not are good for long iterations.
Sometimes you want to run a deep recursion and that's harder to flatten.
 
The Player Team continues to reject this idea.  I think it is because it
is non-trivial to implement as it means that a mouseevent could be
processed before the mouseevent that called doEvents finishes and that
makes somethings in the player more complicated.

[flexcoders] FlashPaper CFR's prinitng pure black pages ??

[camlinaeizerous]

I have a flex application that is calling on a few different cfr's.
The pdf versions of them are saving directly to the hardribve from the
application and can be opened and printed normally besides the
development edition of coldfusion watermark in the backgroud. I
recently  made flashpaper versions of all of the cfr's and instead of
writing them to the hard drive i'm opening them within the application.

They appear normally in the application like I would expect but when I
print them as a pdf or directly from flash paper to the printer all I
get as a result is a few pages of a pure black box excluding the
margins. Is this because the version of coldfusion I'm running is
development or is there another cause for this. I would test it on our
live server with a full version of coldfusion but it is being moved
and can't access it for a while.

I'm hoping someone will know if this is the cause or if there is
another hidden issue.

That is kind of what we do.  We have a Command interface that all

this for larger processing kinds of tasks, things that could take
longer than a few milliseconds on a reasonable machine.

RE: [flexcoders] Synchronizing data between viewStack elements

[Ian Skinner]

"I'd bind both sets of elements to the same data providers and that
should keep them synchronous without any extra work on your part."

 

Could somebody expand on the specifics on how one could do this?

 

I have an main Array Collection that contains 28, 35 or 42 elements.  In
my default view, I use this as a data provider for a repeater control to
create a serious of boxes displaying the data of each element.  Each
main element also contains a property that is an array collection.  This
array is used in a sub-repeater to vertically display each element
inside the parent box.  When a user clicks on any of these sub-element
boxes I am switching to a detail view based on a HDividedBox.  On the
right I want to display details related to the element clicked on by the
user, on the left I want to display the element in the parent array
including all the elements of the sub array collection. 

 

The vice-a-versa come since users will be able to change which element
and sub-element they are seeing view as well as completely change the
main data collection with a calendar control within the details view.

Databinding via dataproviders has, for me anyhow, been really a good thing.   
Use it.  It's not like the bad-old VB 1.0 days when it had promise but was 
totally frustrating.  IT seems to work in Flex.

 

1.  Design visuals.
2.  Make objects that contain the data you want to display
3.  Bind the objects to the visuals via dataproviders
4.  Write some code to fill out the object and the UI will work.

When a user clicks on a container built with repeated array collection

utilized to populate the data in a second viewStack layer and 
vice-a-versa.

Conceptually how does one do this? Do I set some type of global

or can one view layer be aware of another's data?

Re: [flexcoders] ProgressBar.mode="polled" gives me problems

[Pan Troglodytes]

What would really be cool would be for ProgressBar to explose a property for
the progress value.  It's very close to doing this.  I made the following
subclass that works for me for now:


package nes
{
 import mx.controls.ProgressBar;
 import mx.core.UIComponent;

 public class ProgressBarExt extends ProgressBar
 {
   public function set value(newValue:Number):void
   {
 setProgress(newValue, maximum);
   }
 }
}

Then I have the following in the XML:
   

This reads the "[Bindable] public var progress:Number;" variable of the "
main" object.  The downside is that I have to initialize maximum in the code
because of the way the underlying ProgressBar code works.  If you don't do
this, it clears the maximum set in the XML when it initializes mode="manual"
.

  Hi Pan,

I completely agree with you ... the progress bar definitely seems designed

I think Alex's point was that yes, it's a bug, and a workaround would be
using an EventListener object for the source... of course, you could always
sub-class or cut-n-paste the ProgressBar to make your own that does the
right thing... until Adobe provides a bug-fixed version, that is.

Beyond that, let's hope that the bug gets fixed properly, the API gets
tweaked appropriately, and we get a new SDK drop in the future! ;-)

[flexcoders] Control scroll bar.

[Ian Skinner]

I have a the following MXML line:


displayDay is an Array Collection that will often contain more elements 
then can be vertically displayed in the area provided by the constraints 
on the DayBox container.  When this happens I want the scroll bar to 
just be within this container, not the entire application container.

Nothing I've tried seems to have any effect, how does one do this?

[flexcoders] Why aren't we allowed to process the event queue? (eg: like DoEvents)

[Tim]

Why aren't we allowed to tell flash to process the UI event queue
periodically in long executing subroutines?

Hell, just something to tell the client not to go into "Not
Responding" would be more than enough.   I call "validate now"
periodically, but that doesn't help because I still get the "Not
Responding" which makes it look like the software has crashed - a very
awkward user experience.

It seems like such a trivial thing for Adobe to add.  Why don't they?

RE: [flexcoders] ProgressBar doesn't get updated immediately

[Tracy Spratt]

As I understand it, not knowing Flash, the functions execute in a single
"frame", whatever that is, and the UI does not update until the code
finishes running.  callLater executes the code in the next frame, after
the ui has redrawn.

I am hiding one of the columns of the datagrid based on the value of

The column is hidden the first time I populate data to it
but if I repopulate data (, the value of isVisible is still false),
the hidden column shows up.

Even if I reset the value of isVisible to false, it doesn't get

The only workaround which seem to work is set value of "visible" to
true and then set "visible=isVisible".

Is this a known issue with DataGrid?

[flexcoders] tabs to spaces

[Mike Vargo]

I've turned off generating tabs when I hit the tab key (or so I think). 

When I hit the tab, I get 4 spaces as expected.

But, if I'm writing a line of code and hit "enter", the next line will
get indented automatically and will insert tabs instead of spaces. How
can I stop that?

I'm using eclipse with the flex builder plugin. Thanks for any help.

I have been going through some of the Silverlight material and video’s, and
the way they have engineered the dlr and the openness with which ms is
approaching this “market” does seem fundamentally different from what I have
seen in the past from ms (just try to imagine ms open sourcing anything
substantial 5 years ago).  Also given the people they have hired recently I
do have the impression the commitment is substantial.

 

Whether there is anything sustainable in there remains to be seen (but that
is true for life in general).

Exactly right. Thanks. I think when I read the description of unshift(),
where it says "adds one or more elements...", I subconsciously thought
ARRAY. So the following code upon a headerrelease event works fine, just
in case someone else has a similar mission (I use this in combination
with the CTL key):

 var cols : Array = dgItems.columns;
  cols.unshift(cols.splice(event.columnIndex,1)[0]);
  dgItems.columns = cols;

[flexcoders] Re: weird accordion consequences

[arieljake]

Thanks Tracy.

I know what you mean about repeated questions.

Problem with "pulling" data is that I don't want the Accordion
contents to be dependent on where they are getting their data. I would
rather the application be responsible for delegating connections
between components. Therefore, it will listen to events from child
components, and notify others when to respond.

I will set it to load children automatically. Thank you.

RE: [flexcoders] ProgressBar doesn't get updated immediately

To do what you want, you will need to break the long running process up
into smaller chunks, and use callLater between them to allow the UI to
catch up.  If it is a loop, use an instance variable to hold the current
index, process some smaller number of iterations, have the function end,
then callLater to do the next set of iterations, starting at the value
in the instance variable.

RE: [flexcoders] Channel.Polling.Error - Using DataService with AtuoCommit and AtutoSync

[Seth Hodgson]

Hi Parker,

What version are you running?

A channel polling error is generally caused by two things:
1. The server endpoint was unreachable (possible but unlikely).
2. Your data service destination may have a session or subscription timeout 
value defined in which case the polling channel may be faulting and shutting 
down because you no longer have an active subscription on the server. This 
timeout is based on when messages are pushed to your client for changes made by 
other clients.

First, check #2 above. Second, try turning on client logging in your app 
() and server to see more details for the failure.

HTH,
Seth

This is wath you are looking for.  I have a grid with a column named

This method pushes all marked items from the grid into a new array
todelete.

all items in the array todelete will be deleted later on.

RE: [flexcoders] weird accordion consequences

[Tracy Spratt]

I really need to have a boilerplate answer for this one!

The issue you describe is caused by the fact that Accordion and the
other navigator containers by default use a feature called "deferred
instantiation", where a child view is not rendered/instantiated until a
user first navigates to that view.  

Deferred instantiation helps to speed up the initial load of an
application, improving the user's experience.

The correct way to handle this issue is to use data binding or your own
event system to "pull" data into the view when it is rendered, instead
of trying to access members in the child view from "outside".

A quick an dirty fix, to determine if this is your p[roblem, is to set
creationPoliccy="all" on the Accordion.  But remember, this can hurt the
percieved performance of your app when the child vies become complex.

Hello,

I have a list component which gets populated when i run a simple 
query. I receive the result in an array and I set that array as the 
data provider. Also, I have an ItemRenderer which displays part of 
data (each data contains information regarding cities: name, dates, 
numbers, etc; I only display the name and the country).

The problem appears when I scroll in the List. If I scroll to the 
bottom and then scroll back up, the first item is different than 
before. 

I tried to use "invalidateList" on a scroll function but nothing 
changed.

I believe it has something to do with the Item renderer. Can you

[flexcoders] ProgressBar doesn't get updated immediately

[Pan Troglodytes]

Okay, different problem than my other ProgressBar thread.

This time, I have the progress bar working in event mode, cranking through
sending off progress events.  It works fine, except when it gets to one
section of the code.  I want to send back the progress while this one very
long and time consuming function is happening.  So I have several points
where I dispatch a progress event to the progress bar.  I have added a
"progress" event to the bar to write a line to the trace log.  It gets these
progress events.  However, it doesn't update the bar.  It seems that the bar
redraw is holding off until the other function finishes.  This is defeating
the whole purpose of having the progress bar.

Is there some way I can force a bar redraw?  I've tried some of the
invalidate/validate methods with no luck.

[flexcoders] Dynamic switching of datagrid columns

[iko_knyphausen]

Hi,

trying to change the sequence of datagrid columns by working on the
datagrid.columns array. I understand from previous posts that one should
copy the array, do the array manipulations, then assign it back to the
columns property. So far so good. I came across one curiousity that I
cannot explain:

1. First I am splicing a column that gets deleted at the current
position. The splice function should return an array of elements
deleted.
2. Then I take this array and try insert it using unshift, splice or
push. No good. I also tried to first assign the "cut" element to a
interim var of type DataGridColumn. Still no good.

The whole thing works fine, if I make a copy of the column before it
gets "cut" and take this as argument in a unshift, splice, or push


Thx

[flexcoders] weird accordion consequences

[Ariel Jakobovits]

I am adding an Accordion and am getting an error at runtime saying that 
accessing a component located inside the Accordion by its id is null. 
FlexBuilder shows no errors. 
When I remove the accordion, all is fine.
The code is posted below. Attempting to access stuffFilter.addEventListener is 
causing a null error.

[flexcoders] Convert FlexChart in WMF/EMF

[Claude Hussenet]

We currently use extensively JAVA Applet for creating charts.
We support different output such as WMF/EMF.
For example,it allows the user to cut and paste an image of the chart 
into a Windows Application(Outlook) through the clipboard .So,the 
image is visible into the body of the email without extra steps such 
as using Insert IMage for creating and HTML email.

Is there a way to create a WMF/EMF file with Flex?

A second option could be to create a WMF/EMF from a JPEG image.
More precisely ,to embed the JPEG image into a WMF/EMF file.
Anybody knows how to do that in JAVA ?

Thank you very much for your help.

PS:I do know how to create a JPEG image from flex.It's not the issue.

Christian,

Have you looked into javaforge.com for your Flex Maven plugin?

Heres a description:

Never trust Microsoft products and projects. They bring products and
destroy those products themselves because of their marketing strategy.
They never succeeded to run a product more than few years except
Window OS and MS Office.

If you put some efforts in learning a technology than you would never
want to loss.

[flexcoders] Does FDS run on Vista?

[Douglas McCarroll]

Hi All,

I'm thinking of installing Apache, Tomcat and FDS on my Vista laptop.

I currently have the Home Premium version, but can upgrade to Ultimate.

I assume that Apache and Tomcat will work fine. Have you successfully 
installed FDS on Vista?

Which version of Vista?

With Tomcat or JRun?

Thanks,


Douglas

RE: [flexcoders] Synchronizing data between viewStack elements

[Jim Grinsfelder]

I'd bind both sets of elements to the same dataproviders and that should
keep them synchronous without any extra work on your part.

 

Databinding via dataproviders has, for me anyhow, been really a good thing.
Use it.  It's not like the bad-old VB 1.0 days when it had promise but was
totally frustrating.  IT seems to work in Flex.

 

1.  Design visuals.
2.  Make objects that contain the data you want to display
3.  Bind the objects to the visuals via dataproviders
4.  Write some code to fill out the object and the UI will work.

That's the behaviour of the built-in TextField object and I don't
think anything can be done about it. You could maybe write your own
header renderer and write the word-wrapping logic yourself (and
truncate words that are longer than the available width).

Hi,

In your mxml application, simply use:

Of course, you'll need to change "localhost" to the server name if 
you want to be able to access the image from somewhere other than the 
local host system.

Hi All,

I am hiding one of the columns of the datagrid based on the value of 
a variable i.e. visible={isVisible}.
The column is hidden the first time I populate data to it
but if I repopulate data (, the value of isVisible is still false), 
the hidden column shows up.

Even if I reset the value of isVisible to false, it doesn't get hidden.

The only workaround which seem to work is set value of "visible" to 
true and then set "visible=isVisible".

Is this a known issue with DataGrid?

Re: [flexcoders] ProgressBar.mode="polled" gives me problems

[Troy Gilbert]

Hi Pan,

I completely agree with you ... the progress bar definitely seems designed
around the conventional use case you described of being hooked to a Loader
(or derivative). For something so simple it should have been generalized a
bit more.

I think Alex's point was that yes, it's a bug, and a workaround would be
using an EventListener object for the source... of course, you could always
sub-class or cut-n-paste the ProgressBar to make your own that does the
right thing... until Adobe provides a bug-fixed version, that is.

Beyond that, let's hope that the bug gets fixed properly, the API gets
tweaked appropriately, and we get a new SDK drop in the future! ;-)

Troy.

  Oh, I definitely could, if I absolutely had to make it work this way.
The problem I see is that the polled mode is very useful for a very specific
set of circumstances.  But I don't find it very useful in the general
sense.  It's called a "progress bar", but it seems to have been designed
very narrowly (at least in polled mode) as a bar to hook up to different
loaders of content, measured in bytes.  A polled method would be very useful
and easy to use, if it just had an event defined for the progress bar for
getTotal and getProgress.  Then it would be a breeze to hook up the events
and be on your way.

The help is also erroneous in claiming it uses "getBytesLoaded() and
getBytesTotal() methods."  In the code, it actually reads "bytesLoaded" and
"bytesTotal" properties.  This also thwarts my plans of just having a simple
object like this:

[Bindable] public var progress:Object = {
  bytesLoaded:getProgressBytesLoaded,
  bytesTotal:getProgressBytesTotal,
  removeEventListener:kludgeRemoveEventListener
}

private function kludgeRemoveEventListener(event_type:String,
listener_function:Function):void { }

private function getProgressBytesLoaded():Number
{
  //figure out current progress...
  return currentProgress;
}

private function getProgressBytesTotal():Number
{
  return maxProgress;
}

[flexcoders] How to include an external stylesheet ONCE and have all components use it?

[tjcox1969]

Is it possible to include a style sheet in the main application mxml
file and then have all other components and custom components use
those styles?  Or do I have to include the mx:Style statement in each
custom component.  I have several CSS files that many of my custom
components will use, but I dont want to have to include the mx:style
statement in every single custom component.  I was hoping to include a
reference to the CSS files once in the main application mxml file and
have the custom components be able to reference style within those CSS
files.  It does not seem to work.  I have to include the CSS
references in ALL of my custom components which seems odd since what
happens if I change the name of one of those CSS filesI would then
have to find all custom components that reference it.

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Html Text does NOT print in same format as rendered on scre

[scott_flex]

I thought about that. I don't know how to make it a bitmap yet but 
from what i've seen i should be able to fairly easily...and I assume 
i can send a bitmap image to the printer.

In my real app i'm taking a few panels and adding them to a vbox 
control so I can create "pages" to send to the printer.  I calculate 
the height and when the combined height of my panels with text are 
taller than a page 700ish pixels high, i create another page... this 
also allows me to have a nice print preview screen so they see 
exactly how it will print...

Re: [flexcoders] CacheAsBitmap stops working.

[Troy Gilbert]

Yeah, you're hitting the 2880 pixel limit with bitmaps. No bitmap, including
cached bitmaps, can be bigger than 2880 px in either dimension. In the case
of cacheAsBitmap, it stops caching when that's the case.

Fortunately, you can control it a bit... I'd imagine that even when zooming
in you're only showing less than 2880 pixels actually on screen. So, you can
do a bit of caching. And you can control the size of the cached bitmap by
setting the scrollRect for the displayObject.

Now, I'm not sure if the scrollRect is "smart" in that when you move it it
simply redraws (stupid) or does a partial copy and a partial render
(smart)... if its smart, then you've got it pretty easy, just move the
scrolllRect around your map instead of moving the map (or its SWFLoader)
around inside a container.

Another option would be to simply make the scrollRect be as big as possible
while still being smaller than 2880px. This would allow you to drag the map
around locally without it having to redraw but forcing a redraw if you
dragged too far. Kinda similar result to a tiled renderer, not quite as
efficient, but a whole lot less code!

So, does anyone has any idea why is this heppening, and how could i

I will accept any sollution except tiling my map into 100 tiles and

Any help appriciated.

 

Re: [flexcoders] Using SVN (tortoise) with Flex Builder

[Troy Gilbert]

One option that may help (or may not) is using Subclipse plug-in to have
native SVN support inside of Flex Builder? I'm not quite clear on the issues
you're encountering, but I know that the advantage of using the Subclipe
plugin over command-line SVN is that the plug-in knows what should and
shouldn't be checked into SVN and works nicely with multiple users. It also
has a very easy integration into Flex Builder (I like it quite a bit!).

Re: [flexcoders] CacheAsBitmap stops working.

[Troy Gilbert]

Oh, and another issue you may run into... coordinates inside a container
can't be outside of the range +/- 8191 or the object vanishes. So, that too
could be an issue when you get into larger maps depending on how you're
scrolling them around.

I've run into both of these issues in my current work where I'm developing a
pretty open-ended game system which has required me to take on a lot of
issues that I had hoped Flash's native renderer would juggle for me, like
smart bitmap caching and coordinate virtualization (moving beyond the +/-
8191 limit). I'll be honest, I've not solved them both myself, yet... but
will have to over the next few weeks, so anything you learn would be much
appreciated...

Re: [flexcoders] Is it possible for a TitleWindow to open another TitleWindow?

Hi,

Well, if I understand what you are saying, just create a creationComplete
handler on the parent window.

In that handler call PopUpManager.addPopUp() for the child window.

Re: [flexcoders] ProgressBar.mode="polled" gives me problems

[Pan Troglodytes]

Oh, I definitely could, if I absolutely had to make it work this way.  The
problem I see is that the polled mode is very useful for a very specific set
of circumstances.  But I don't find it very useful in the general sense.
It's called a "progress bar", but it seems to have been designed very
narrowly (at least in polled mode) as a bar to hook up to different loaders
of content, measured in bytes.  A polled method would be very useful and
easy to use, if it just had an event defined for the progress bar for
getTotal and getProgress.  Then it would be a breeze to hook up the events
and be on your way.

The help is also erroneous in claiming it uses "getBytesLoaded() and
getBytesTotal() methods."  In the code, it actually reads "bytesLoaded" and
"bytesTotal" properties.  This also thwarts my plans of just having a simple
object like this:

[Bindable] public var progress:Object = {
 bytesLoaded:getProgressBytesLoaded,
 bytesTotal:getProgressBytesTotal,
 removeEventListener:kludgeRemoveEventListener
}

private function kludgeRemoveEventListener(event_type:String,
listener_function:Function):void {}

private function getProgressBytesLoaded():Number
{
 //figure out current progress...
 return currentProgress;
}

private function getProgressBytesTotal():Number
{
 return maxProgress;
}

All the help says about setting ProgressBar.mode="polled" is:


polled: The source property must specify an object  that exposes
getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal()  methods. The ProgressBar control calls
these methods to update its status.

But this doesn't seem to be true.  For example, it seems
ProgressBar.commit always wants to do this to the source:
_source.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
progressHandler);
_source.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
completeHandler);

Which is a real drag if your source was going to be a simple little object
with just getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() methods.

It's a bit silly that the code always tries to remove these event
listeners whenever you set the source, since these event listeners never got
set to begin with (the source was empty before setting it).

Is there something I'm missing or is the mode="polled" setting a bit
funky?  My searches seem to show very little information for people using it
this way.

[flexcoders] Re: Issue with custom item editor

[bhaq1972]

spotted a few problem with your example.
1) not sure if your event.columnIndex == 1 is correct. 
2) backgroundColor is a style not a property, so you cant set it 
like that in your itemEditBegin handler.

if all your trying to do is change the backgroundColor of the 
itemEditorInstance, then do it in the itemFocusIn handler

public function itemFocusInHandler():void {

  textinput:TextInput = dg.itemEditorInstance as TextInput;
  textinput.setStyle("backgroundColor", "red");
}

RE: [flexcoders] Using SVN (tortoise) with Flex Builder

[Mark Ingram]

Local servers and invoking web services on separate machines doesn't
reflect our live target environment. We want to develop on systems that
are as close to the live version as possible. And also, it's a pain
having to setup web servers on development PCs for the number of
developers we have, it's much easier to have one central server and just
work on that.


Current situation:

1) SVN Checkout
2) Run batch script:
.actionScriptProperties.template -> .actionScriptProperties

Done.

If we need to add a project reference (to another project in the

[flexcoders] Re: Html Text does NOT print in same format as rendered on screen..

[scott_flex]

I also just noticed something funny in this example...

After i send the text control to the printer the height of my text 
control get's smaller, instead of showing all lines (4 of them) it 
shrinks in height to just show 3 lines of text cutting off the text...

That does not happen in my real application but in my real applicatin 
i'm not sending the text control directly to the printer.  The text 
control is wrapped inside a grid table and panel control which is 
sent to the printer still has same strange effects on text 
though...

[flexcoders] Re: Html Text does NOT print in same format as rendered on screen..

[scott_flex]

Here's a small sample app to illustrate what i'm running into..

http://www.scottkrause.com/PrintTest/PrintingTest.html

Right click to view source It's one file.

When you click the print button it just adds the text control to the 
print job object. You'll notice not all the text is printed... I've 
been testing sending the document to the printer as well as (for 
saving paper) printing to pdf or Microsoft Document Image writer.

[flexcoders] CacheAsBitmap stops working.

[helix206]

Hello all,

I have this strange ans stupid problem and the deathline is comming 
in a fiew days, so i hope someone will be able to help me.

First of, I am trying to drag a vector map inside another container 
fluidly.

So, I have a vector map, exported to .SWF. This map is loaded with 
SWFLoader in another container, and the SWFLoader has a property 
CacheAsBitmap set to True. Everything works just fine, and the map 
drags very well inside the container. Problems araise when i zoom the 
map (actualy scale it) beyond 2000px. Then draging becomes very slow, 
and i sopose that CacheAsbitmap property just stops working.

So, does anyone has any idea why is this heppening, and how could i 
solve it?

I will accept any sollution except tiling my map into 100 tiles and 
showing only the ones that are on the screen. If no sollution will be 
provided then i guess ill have to do it that way.

Any help appriciated.

[flexcoders] Re: initializing components in a viewstate (non base view)

[gotjosh819i]

I commented out all of the bindings and ran teh code again, I got the 
same error.

so I took out the change event function : viewSelectedProfile() then 
the error stopped.

Here is the datagrid code:





  






change event function:
private function viewSelectedProfile(e:Event):void {
this.currentState = 'viewSelected';
//trace(e.currentTarget.selectedItem.roles);
}


Any ideas why this is throwing a mouseHandler datagrid error?  it has 
something to do with the viewstate being changed again bc the error 
doesnt throw when i comment out this.currentState = 'viewSelected'

Does it matter ? Can you not just as well invoke them from another machine ?

In the project properties, set the output folder to wherever the web root

[flexcoders] initializing components in a viewstate (non base view)

[gotjosh819i]

Hello all,  I am stuck on an issue and have run out of ideas to debug 
it. (see below)

I am having an issue with a binding.  I have a datagrid and the 
onchange event triggers the viewstate to change and some 
labels/images appear, some of which have data bindings to the 
datagrid selection.

I think the problem is that those label/image components within the 
view are not initialized and the error is thrown since the data 
binding doesnt know those items exist, even though the creationPolicy 
is set to all at the top level. (the mxml file that has the viewstate 
in it).

Since its not being initialized I get this error each time I click on 
a datagrid row.

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null 
object reference.
at mx.controls::DataGrid/mx.controls:DataGrid::mouseUpHandler
()[C:\dev\flex_201_gmc\sdk\frameworks\mx\controls\DataGrid.as:4218]

I am positive those items are not being init'd bc i put a initialize 
test function that traces the components when they are initialized 
just to see if the error is occuring after they are initialized or 
before they are.  This is happening before and the item never gets 
init'd.

private function test(e:Event):void {
trace("item init: " + e.currentTarget);
}

one of the items hidden in a viewstate:




  

  


The odd thing is that the canvas which is just before the HBox above, 
is being init'd, then the error occurs and the image component doesnt 
init.

last thing: the error in the debugger pulls up DataGrid.as and points 
to line 4217:

  if (headerVisible)
pos.y--;


any ideas on how to get past this issue?  

- thanks in advance ~ Josh

[flexcoders] Issue with custom item editor

[Ghose, Sanjucta]

I am trying to handle the itemEditBegin event to dynamically change the
item editor for a particular datagrid cell.

 

The following code should produce an itemeditor with background color
red. But this does not appear to work.

 

event.preventDefault();

var xxx:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(TextInput);

xxx.properties = {backgroundColor:"red"};

contact.itemEditor = xxx;

dg.createItemEditor(event.columnIndex,event.rowIndex);

 

The whole code is :

 



http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute" creationComplete="initData()">

[flexcoders] Setup Issues with Release 3.1.0.1

[Jurgen Beck]

I may have missed something setting up the latest release on a test 
server, but I am getting strange errors:

Going t the Management console I get an immediate Security error dialog 
that states that 'Send failed'. A follow-up error pop-up states the 
following:

faultCode:Client.Error.MessageSend faultString:'Send failed' 
faultDetail:'Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: 
HTTP: Status 500: url: 'http://localhost/weborb30/console/weborb.aspx''

I get Send Failed errors all over the place, including trying to run the 
examples.

Again, this is on a Win 2003 test server I set up in a virtual machine, 
so it's perfectly reasonable that I missed something setting up IIS.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jurgen

[flexcoders] List Component scrambles rows

[flashcrow2000]

Hello,

I have a list component which gets populated when i run a simple 
query. I receive the result in an array and I set that array as the 
data provider. Also, I have an ItemRenderer which displays part of 
data (each data contains information regarding cities: name, dates, 
numbers, etc; I only display the name and the country).

The problem appears when I scroll in the List. If I scroll to the 
bottom and then scroll back up, the first item is different than 
before. 

I tried to use "invalidateList" on a scroll function but nothing 
changed.

I believe it has something to do with the Item renderer. Can you 
help 
me out please?

[flexcoders] Using SVN (tortoise) with Flex Builder

[Mark Ingram]

Hi, I am having real trouble getting Flex Builder to work with multiple
developers here at work. User and project settings are stored in the
same file, so the files, .actionScriptProperties, .flexProperties and
.project can't be submitted to SVN. The problem comes because when we
build, we want to build to 2 different folders on a server, e.g.

 

http://myserver/flex/mark - me

http://myserver/flex/ian - workmate

 

The reason we can't both output to the same directory is one would
overwrite the other's changes during testing, which is no use as it
means only one developer can work in Flex at a time. And we must use a
central server because it hooks up to WebServices which are hosted on
the same machine.

 

I've noticed I can use symbolic links and have made a link for
OUTPUTFOLDER - X:\flex\mark - BUT I can't make one for the output folder
URL - it says the path doesn't exist (it is trying to find it on the
file system). I have also tried using environment variables (%me%) in
the paths - but Flex Builder doesn't seem to expand these out - even
though Internet Explorer does.

 

 

So - how can I configure the output folder, the output folder URL and
the launch URLs for different users?

 

As a final note - The current setup involves running a batch file after
you have checked out the repository, this copies the project files from
a set of templates which are stored in SVN, the actual projects files
aren't committed which means developers are free to change the values.
However, the trouble comes when I need to add a reference to another
project. I must tell all the other developers to add a reference too!!

 

Any help on this subject is much appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Mark

Thanks - that solved the problem for copying of files - but it still
copied the .svn folder!

Check your Flex Compiler options on the Project Properties window... 
there's an option to Copy non-embeded files to output directory.
