[flexcoders] Throwing DataSyncException Error - Flex Data Management

[Dharmendran A]

Hi,

I have built a sample .MXML application for testing Flex Data Management. In 
client iam using DataService to connect to the destination like,


Iam able to view all the records using ds.fill(). Iam able to add a new 
employee record using addItem() of the ArrayCollection and by calling 
ds.commit()

I could see data synchronization happening in multiple clients.

Now, the problem is iam not able to modify or delete any record. Iam getting an 
error 

"Throwing DataSyncException when trying to update employee id=4"
"Throwing DataSyncException when trying to delete employee id=4"

The code looks like this:
var emp:Employee=contacts.getItemAt(4) as Employee;
ds.autoCommit=false;
emp.firstName="Dharmendran";
emp.lastName="Arumugam";
ds.commit();

Pls help me.

Thanks,
Darmendran A

[flexcoders] Re: default background and loader colors, etc

[dnk]

I found a reference (in an odd blog) to having to add a compiler argument:

-default-background-color #xx

Is this the best way to deal with this?

[flexcoders] A stack overflow error has occurred (Flex Builder 2 error)

[Ben]

I right clicked on a table in RDS Dataview and selected "show table
contents". After doing this i get the following in a pop-up window:

A stack overflow error has occurred.
You are recommended to exit the workbench.
Subsequent errors may happen and may terminate the workbench without
warning.
See the .log file for more details.

I have eclipse 3.2.2 and flexbuilder 2.01.

I deleted and then re-installed the coldfusion extensions and this did
not make a difference.

What can I do to eliminate this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Is there any way we can use HttpService to read from a file which is in

[flexcoders] container Grey when used in custom component

[dnk]

Hi there, I have a custom component I am writing, and for some reason
my layout containers contain a grey background instead of showing the
application's background (a typical gradient). I tried setting the
alpha on the background and so on, but it still shows like that. When
I paste in the component code into the main app (containers and all) -
they are not grey. Am I missing something basic?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] How to add a component through a library

[Guillermo Villasana]

I have a complex component made in mxml, and it has action scripts that 
make some parts go visible or invisible. The problem is that when I try 
to add them into a library, the actionscript tells me that I can not 
hide a specific element of the component because this element does not 
have properties.

Any help would be appreciated.

You could try changing .visible and .includeInLayout instead of
adding/removing.

 

The best practice for resolving multiple properties is to use the
invalidatePropertie s/commitProperti es technique.

The order of items in HBox/VBox is their childIndex order.

Re: [flexcoders] Trouble skinning HSlider

[Doug McCune]

Extend mx.controls.sliderClasses.SliderThumb

override the measure() function with something like this:

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

   measuredWidth = THE_WIDTH_YOU_WANT;
   measuredHeight = THE_HEIGHT_YOU_WANT;
   }

Then set the sliderThumbClass attribute of your Slider to the class
reference for your extended thumb class. The default SliderThumb class has a
width and height of 12 hardcoded in.

I believe setting a value for leading will do what you're looking for.

[flexcoders] how to eliminate the grey background of a disabled TileList

[Erik Price]

Hi,

Caveat: this question is for a Flex 1.5 app.

Question: How do I prevent the TileList from creating a grey
background color when I set enabled="false" ?
"backgroundDisabledColor" doesn't seem to apply to the selected item.

What I have done so far:  In my app I have a TileList component, whose
background color is normally #FF, that I have disabled by setting
its "enabled" property to "false" in the MXML file.  This resulted in
the entire TileList having a grey color over (or under) it, which is
the default behavior for a disabled TileList.  I found the
"backgroundDisabledColor" and set it to "#FF", which ALMOST solves
the problem.  The remaining issue is that the currently selected item
in the TileList still has the grey background.  So, to paint a picture
of what it looks like, my disabled TileList has a white background for
all of the cells except the one that is selected.

Any advice you can provide would be gratefully appreciated.

Does anyone know what this means?  I've never seen it before and there
is no mention of it anywhere.

Here's the background:

- I'm getting this when I execute a fill to get a set of managed objects
from my Java server running LCDS 2.5. However, I ONLY get this error
after I've updated a one of the managed objects and then refill that
ArrayCollection with different objects. In this case, I've got a set of
Report objects that are related to a single Student object.  When I
click a Student from the list, my code retrieves the related set of
Report objects using a fill with parameters and I display the resulting
Report objects.  Everything is fine until I update one of those Report
objects and commit the changes back to the server (via LCDS).  After
that, when I click a different Student to retrieve their Reports (using
a fill which overwrites the ArrayCollection's previous fill), I get this
error.

- This is all coming about because I'm have tons of problems with
mismatched references.  When I load my objects in FDS/LCDS, everything
is fine.  But as I make changes and/or retrieve new fills, I'm finding
that the references between my objects are becoming fractured. I
implemented Jeff Vroom's UID solution to try to fix this and I think it
worked, but now I'm hitting this error.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Remoting - Authentication and authorization with Acegi

[Robert Cadena]

Hi Collin,

 > Does anyone have any remoting (i.e. RemoteObject) examples of how to
 > do authentication and authorization with Acegi?  I have been reading

it doesn't seem too difficult.  the current version of my app 
(http://www.searchcoders.com/flex) uses container managed authentication 
and i am migrating it over to acegi.  so, my comments here about acegi 
integration do not apply to production environments:

1. create a class that implements LoginCommand and has an 
authenticationManager property
2. create and setup an ApplicationContextAware bean.  this is required 
in your custom LoginCommand so you can initialize it later.
3. configure your LoginCommand bean with the property name 
"authenticationManager".  Reference your acegi config's 
authenticationManager.
4. In the LoginCommand constructor, configureBean your
loginCommand bean (i think this can be done a better way but I haven't 
had time to experiment).
5. in the LoginCommand doAuthentication:
a. create a UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken and pass it the 
username and credentials as String
b. authenticationManager.authenticate(authToken)
c. result of authenticate is Authentication, catch any exceptions.
d. return Authentication as the Principal.  That's it.

For authorization, extract the principal and compare the list of roles 
with the GrantedAuthority[] of the Authentication obj.

Note that with this current strategy you will lose the ability to 
"share" the authentication result with the non-flex segment of your app. 
  So, if you send the user to a resource on your container which has a 
security-constraint then it will think not know that it's been 
authenticated.  You will have to somehow integrate with the 
authenticationProcessingFilter.

I will post more details on my blog: http://www.machine501.com/  when i 
have found and tested a suitable solution for integrating acegi/spring/fds.

download the FDS2 javadocs (scroll down to the bottom "Complete Flex 2 
documentation"):
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/

good luck.

[flexcoders] textfield vertical spacing

[blc187]

textfield?

I am using a multiline UITextField and would like to adjust the gap

[flexcoders] Displacement Filter Map - adding it to an oceanic scene

[Patrick Lemiuex]

I have a swf File that is an oceanic scene, it loops over and over...

What I want to do is add a displacementFilterMap to the swf,  
(probably not possible)...  or export the swf into a series of image   
which load then display each and make a bitmapDataObject.   Using  
onEnterFrame event  I want to make a real looking underwater effect  
by adding the displacement Filter for some funky real looking Text  
Effects.

Has anybody worked with this approach before?  I'm looking at the the  
DisplacemenFilterMapExample.  I works by adding the displacement to  
the text with color channels  so should be possible with a blue ocean  
scene (i hope).

I just need a little guidance.  Or, any timesaving tips, are really  
appreciated, it's easy to get lost playing with cool effect ideas and  
then never getting anything done :)

Thanks,
Patrick

[flexcoders] ValueObjects and CRUD operations

[Ariel Jakobovits]

I am learning about Cairgorm, and about the usage of Value Objects. This makes 
sense. However, I am curious about how to handle basic operations on these 
value objects.
 
When I pass an item to a form component, I am inclined to permit the form 
component to perform update operations on the item like 
item.assignToCategory(category); I think this is intuitive for the design of 
the form component.

But this means that the item value object is not just a model, but also a 
controller in some aspect. The alternative as I understand it is to say 
something like Controller.addCategoryToItem(item,category) which is OK but I 
think it is sort of clunky.

Direction? Advice? Am I missing something? Please.

Thanks,

- Ariel

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Error after loading swf

[Alex Harui]

You've bound the TW's SWFLoader to the mainapp's DG.  The SWFLoader may never 
actually go away and changing the DG's selectedItem may cause it to fail to 
load.

 

Binding's can be hard to clean up, so you may want to just use events or just 
read the property once.

comment and replace them with < and >. Otherwise, they get
interpreted by the browser.

Subject: [flexcoders] How to put MXML example into ASDOC?



I'm trying to be a good boy and AsDoc my new class that I wrote.

I wanted to put in an example of using it, embedding a complete MXML
document in the @example tag. My MXML document has a CDATA tag in it
(for the script tag) which generated an error from the AsDoc
executable until I removed it: 

Error#1085: The element type "example" must be terminated by a
matching end-tag ""

Once I took out the CDATA tag, the AsDoc ran, but the file it
generated does not render the MXML tags, since I suspect the browser
is seeing them as true tags, thus not showing them. If I view source
I see them, but not in the visual rendering of the help file.

Tried to wrap ALL the code (inside my  tag) with a CDATA tag,
but it brought back the same error.

Any idea how to get MXML tags to show in the @example and 
tags? DO I need to escape ALL of the tags? That seems like it would
be a giant pain in the you know what.

Thanks!

Not quite. I have items 0 through 5 I want them to be displayed in that order 
but if 4 is not displayed then I get an out of bounds error when I addChild At 
5. It may happen when 2 is drawn even if 0 and 1 are going to be drawn but 
since I have no control over order it evaluates the variables in the MXML 
invocation that will generate an error also

RE: [flexcoders] Package Level Funtions

[Ely Greenfield]

 

 

Hi Jesse. The answer is no, you can't do that.  When you try and use a
class, method, global variable, flex needs to know where to go to find
the definition of that variable.  Exhaustively searching every file in
your classpath would be prohibitively expensive. Instead, we impose the
rule that definitions visible outside of the file they're defined in
must match the path/file name they're defined in, so the compiler can
find them easily and quickly.  That means that in your example below,
even though your definitions aren't visible outside the package, they're
still visible outside the file, which means, for performance reasons,
they need to be defined in a file whose path/name matches their
package/name.

 

The only time you can violate this rule is when you're declaring things
that are only used within the file itself.

 

Ely.

I got the distinct impression that each .as file could only export one
publicly visible definition (i.e. one public class, or one public
method, etc...), but it could define any number of internal definitions
accessible to the package. 

I was hoping to do this:

package MyPackage {
   internal method1() : void {

   }
   internal method2() : void {

   }
}

To be able to create a single file with a number of related,
package-level functions, and not have to wrap them as static methods of
a class. I didn't need them publically accessible, just accessible to
the package. However, after running into "Error: A file found in a
source-path must have an externally visible definition." repeatedly, I'm
under the impression I can't do that -- I'd have to put each method in
its own file. 

Am I correct?

Thanks for any input!

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid ItemEditor being closed when other component is updated

[Alex Harui]

If the DG thinks it needs to be re-layed out, it will close its session.

 

Try locking the width/height of the List.  It might stop it from
invalidating the parent container.  Wrapping the List in another
container might work as well.

I'm having some trouble with an editable DataGrid... I have one
DataGrid that is editable, and then a List that is not.

The List is bound to an XMLListCollection (Same thing happens
ArrayCollection), which gets items added to it constantly.

Now, when I click one of the columns in the editable DataGrid, the
itemeditor gets opened, but is closed the moment the second DataGrid
is updated... (If I use a DataGrid instead of a List as the second
item, the closing of the ItemEditor only seems to happen once the
second DataGrid has enough items to create a ScrollBar).

Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone know of a solution?

so if anyone got a good link to an article or can tell me him-/herself
about the differences between these compilers, like compile-time

RE: [flexcoders] Re: stage.stageWidth/stageHeight lies in standalone player?

[Alex Harui]

Linux player doesn't really honor SWF dimensions.  We've had to use HTML
wrappers to control it.

Tracing enterFrame shows the right dimensions, as does setting
scaleMode to NO_SCALE and listening to Event.RESIZE.

Although, it doesn't quite match the args I pass in for default-size:

(Test.as is at http://pastie.caboo.se/67829
 )
> mxmlc -default-size 300 300 Test.as

trace output:
on resize dims are 296,304
on resize dims are 300,304

It looks like there's some extra padding there, but it could be that
it's because I'm using the debug flash player in Linux?

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie getting annoyed with Drag and Drop :-)

Took a quick peek.  I didn't see calls to event.preventDefault() which
are usually required when overriding drag/drop behavior.

Hi Guys,

I have recently started to create a small flex application and the 
major aspect of it is drag and drop functionality.

I am dragging into a TileList and i can't get the thing to accept my 
drag.

I have put up some code for the project, ive cut loads out of it to 
try and simplify but the main problem still exists.

http://www.komodomedia.co.uk/dragdrop/mainscreen.html
  (right click 
for source)

I want to drag the picture onto the TileList on the right. 
The 'onRightDragEnter' function fires correctly but it will not allow 
me to drop onto it!

My only guess is it is something to do with the Drag source and my 
Slide class, but it all looks ok to me.

A fresh pair of eyes and any pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Did you have any public thing in that file?  Maybe hack up one public

I got the distinct impression that each .as file could only export one
publicly visible definition (i.e. one public class, or one public
method, etc...), but it could define any number of internal definitions
accessible to the package. 

I was hoping to do this:

package MyPackage {
   internal method1() : void {

   }
   internal method2() : void {

   }
}

To be able to create a single file with a number of related,
package-level functions, and not have to wrap them as static methods of
a class. I didn't need them publically accessible, just accessible to
the package. However, after running into "Error: A file found in a
source-path must have an externally visible definition." repeatedly, I'm
under the impression I can't do that -- I'd have to put each method in
its own file. 

Am I correct?

Thanks for any input!

Can you extend this concept slightly for me. I have several dynamic
items to display in the view (whether they are displayed is controled
through binding and set functions) this works.

I just can figure out how to control the order that they are drawn on
the page.

[flexcoders] Spry and Flex Development Tools

[Bruce Hopkins]

Hi,

I would like to know is there a tool that allows me to create Flex and Spry
applications at the same time? I'm thinking that the only tool that would
come close would be Dreamweaver CS3. However, I haven't heard of anyone
doing that.

So, here's my real question, has anyone really tried to create a REAL app in
DW CS3 for Flex and Spry?

Are there any better tools coming out there, like Flex Builder CS3?  :-)

Thanks,

Bruce

Re: [flexcoders] Package Level Funtions

[Ralf Bokelberg]

I haven't tried it with packages, but if you want to declare a class, which
is visible to the current public class only, you have to define it outside
of the package.
Maybe the same works for package functions?

package mypackage
{
public function myFunction()
{
   myHelper();
}
} //package closed

function myHelper()
{
}

[flexcoders] dispatchevent question when in a custom component.

[Romain]

Hi,

I am making a custom mxml component, composed of a datagrid and a few
buttons.
I am potentially dispatching the following 2 events:
[Event(name="btnClick", type="flash.events.MouseEvent")]
[Event(name="rowClick", type="mx.events.ListEvent")]

These events are thrown by event handlers on the actual individual
component (either a button or a grid).
for the grid:
private function dispatchRowClickEvent(ev:ListEvent):void{
var e:ListEvent=new ListEvent('rowClick');
e.rowIndex=ev.rowIndex;
dispatchEvent(e);
 }
for the button


My problem is when I consume these events from the component, I'd like
  to be able to write something like:
 public function dgDoubleClickHandler(event:ListEvent) : void
{
var currentIssueForm:IssueForm  = new IssueForm();
 var buf:XML = XML(event.currentTarget.selectedItem);
 currentIssueForm.modelIssue = buf;
  PopUpManager.addPopUp(currentIssueForm, this, true);
   PopUpManager.centerPopUp(currentIssueForm);
}

However at runtime it fails because event.currentTarget.selectedItem
is null.
It is null because the event I am catching is the custom component
event and not the low-level datagrid event

Is there a way to wrap the datagrid event [and keep its content]
whilst still renaming it ?
Or maybe there is just a simpler way to do this ?

Thanks,

Romain.

[flexcoders] Re: keeping a drawn line attached to 2 objects

[maunger]

Clint, i think i'm in exactly the same spot as you -- good timing :)

I think tho that i'm wanting the line between the objects in my
application to be an object that is selectable... am i wrong in
believing that the lineTo method just draws a line that the user can't
select?

did i say "flex graphics noob" warning at the beginning of the post?

we're working on an internal system that will be somewhat like
mindomo.com (but is sort of a network diagram) and i will want the
user to be able to select a line between two nodes to specify some
parameters.

So i'm working on trying to figure out how to make a line be an
object... Tom's note below gives me some thoughts.

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid with bound dataProvider not updating.

[beecee1977]

Thanks for all the responses! I took the advice and switched to using 
ArrayCollection and all is working fine now (without hammers :-)) 

Thanks again!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Make datagrid into spreadsheet

[Mark Ingram]

Yes, that's what I think I'll have to do. I've posted in a new topic
("DataGrid: Get Current Column Index") - I can get the current selected
row, but I can't get the current column!

Thanks,

Mark

Well, if you think about it, that makes sense.

Where is the "empty" row when the rows overflow the height of the
DataGrid container? 

Either add and maintain a "pseudo" item in the dataProvider (which
appends a new Object when edited), or add some button/widget near your
DataGrid which appends an Object to the dataProvider, forces an
update, selects & focuses the new row, goes into edit mode, and
focuses the first DataGridColumn.

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid: Get current column index

[Robert Chyko]

I do something along these lines:
* add an itemClick listener to the datagrid, in the handler for that
event you can access event.columnIndex
* with that you can do something like -
myGrid.selectedItem[myGrid.columns[event.columnIndex].dataField]

Hi, if I register for the mouse down event in a data grid, I can
use the following function to get the selected row:



dataGrid.selectedItem



How can I find out the actual column that was clicked, so I can
index into the selected item's object and retrieve the individual field,
rather than the complete object.

[flexcoders] Re: Selecting which Child Components to add at runtime

[phall121]

Yes, Alex.  You Rock dude(ss)!!

For those who may follow and look at this let me add a
few notes.

I needed to add an import statement to bring in the 
Container class (done from scratch, this happens automatically):

import mx.core.Container;

I then updated the combo box array to include the "components" 
qualifier and called the fAddCustomView function with the data item 
from the combo box(cbCompList):

e.g. 



However, this produced an Flash9 error.  The call was passing a 
string rather than the class itself.

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot 
convert "components.Comp3" to Class.
at ViewStackTest2/___Button2_click()

So, I modified the array to have a reference to the class as the 
data, instead of the string (simply by enclosing the string in curly 
braces).

e.g.

It works!!  Thanks.
Alex, you've taught me how to instantiate an object, specifying the 
class at runtime!  This is a huge step towards creating a more 
Dynamic UI.


I'm looking for a freelance Flex/CF tutor/mentor.  (See FlexJobs.)
Let me know if you are interested.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and Adsense

[Judith Dinowitz]

Actually, Michael says that Adsense is a piece of JavaScript that remotely
pulls in content. Straightforward, but the content being pulled in, which is
essentially HTML, needs to be placed on the page in context. So if the page
is a Flex application, then the Flex application has to accept that content
and display it.

Michael says that he's sure Flex can accept content from JavaScript and
display it, but it runs into the problem that Adsense will deliver the
content based on the contextual content of the page. Google has seen the
page and knows what's on it. So therefore, Google has to see something on
the page that says, "Hey, let's put a proper ad in." Google can't read Flash
content... That's where your problem comes in.

So how do you solve that problem? The solution is to have the Flex
application on a page that has content, or expose all the Flex content in
the application on the page for Google to see.

[flexcoders] Re: loading mxml components based on flashvars

Hi Brendan

I tried the following:

public function openWin():void{
if(vkey!=null && vkey!=""){
openVideo();
isViewOpen = true;
} else if(channel!=null && channel!=""){
openChannels();
isChannelOpen = true;
} else if(!isOpen) {

}

now.. it always loads openMain() regardless of the existence of a

could you please {{please}} elaborate a little bit more...

Her'es my mx:Application

   public function initApp():void{

//channel=Application.application.parameters.channel; 
channel=this.parameters.channel;
}



public function openWin():void{
if(vkey!=null && vkey!=""){

I now believe that the race condition is between initApp() and

[flexcoders] differences between flex sdk and ide

[flex_degree]

hi there,

i am currently writing my degree in media-informatics on producing
flash-websites with as3.
one of my first chapters should be an adjustment between the compilers
in the flex sdk, the flex ide, flash cs3 and maybe haxe.
i am searching now for days in the internet and cant find much
usefull, also adobe itselves told me that they cant really help.
so if anyone got a good link to an article or can tell me him-/herself
about the differences between these compilers, like compile-time
bytecode and so on, i would be very glad to receive it.

best wishes,
jan eric

[flexcoders] Package Level Funtions

[Jesse Hallam]

Reading over:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=03_Language_and_Syntax_160_05.html

I got the distinct impression that each .as file could only export one
publicly visible definition (i.e. one public class, or one public method,
etc...), but it could define any number of internal definitions accessible
to the package.

I was hoping to do this:

package MyPackage {
  internal method1() : void {

  }
  internal method2() : void {

  }
}

To be able to create a single file with a number of related, package-level
functions, and not have to wrap them as static methods of a class. I didn't
need them publically accessible, just accessible to the package. However,
after running into "Error: A file found in a source-path must have an
externally visible definition." repeatedly, I'm under the impression I can't
do that -- I'd have to put each method in its own file.

Am I correct?

Thanks for any input!

[flexcoders] Newbie getting annoyed with Drag and Drop :-)

[martz256]

Hi Guys,

I have recently started to create a small flex application and the 
major aspect of it is drag and drop functionality.

I am dragging into a TileList and i can't get the thing to accept my 
drag.

I have put up some code for the project, ive cut loads out of it to 
try and simplify but the main problem still exists.

http://www.komodomedia.co.uk/dragdrop/mainscreen.html (right click 
for source)

I want to drag the picture onto the TileList on the right. 
The 'onRightDragEnter' function fires correctly but it will not allow 
me to drop onto it!

My only guess is it is something to do with the Drag source and my 
Slide class, but it all looks ok to me.

A fresh pair of eyes and any pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers

How much like a spreadsheet do you want it to be?

If you just want every cell to be editable, does setting the
'editable' attribute on the DataGridColumn to 'true' not do the trick
for you?

If you wish to implement formulas and automatic 'trickle-on' updating
of cells references in formulas you have a number of problems:

  1) you'll need to customise your itemRenderer so that
   a) each cell represents an object containing a formula and the
  current value of the cell, and
   b) when the event that represents when the cell's content
  has changed is fired, you begin a recursive evaluation of
  the formula (with respect to referenced cells and their
  formulae).
  2) eval() has been removed from ActionScript 3.0, so you'll need to
 implement a parser and evaluation engine for whatever language
 you choose for formulas.
  3) you'll probably need to implement cycle-detection to prohibit
 infinitely (possibly mutually) recursive formulae (or implement
 laziness/iterators if you support that).
  4) you'll probably need to break up the evaluation into blocks of
 work (some recursion wrapper using a counter and callLater) to
 ensure that the user interface is updated often enough.

but unfortunately it doesn't work out of the box. There's a call to  
"videoPlayer.smoothing" which obviously doesn't exist. After removing  
that, event extending VideoDisplay and using the _smoothing property,  
it doesn't smooth the video.

Has anyone gotten this to work, and how did you manage to do it?

thanks!

[flexcoders] FDS and Web Service: Unable to load WSDL

[Scott Hoff]

I have the following web service:

http://localhost/flexGrocer/cfcs/aggregate.cfc?wsdl";
useProxy="true"
fault="Alert.show(event.toString())">



{date}


{date}






When I try to execute the web service from the following address, I
get the following error:

Address:
http://localhost:8700/fdstraining2/lesson17/lesson17-debug.html?debug=true

Error:
[FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="The URL specified
'http://localhost/flexgrocer/cfcs/aggregate.cfc?wsdl' is not allowed
by the selected destination 'DefaultHTTP'."
faultCode="Server.Proxy.Request.Failed" faultDetail="Unable to load
WSDL. If currently online, please verify the URI and/or format of the
WSDL (http://localhost/flexGrocer/cfcs/aggregate.cfc?wsdl)"]
messageId=null type="fault" bubbles=false cancelable=true eventPhase=2]

Some people have said there are issues with using WSDL and FDS.
However, if I turn useProxy to false, I get a sandbox error.  I know
that my FDS is running on port 8700 and my cfc is running on port 80.
 Would this contribute to the problem? I thought it might and thus I
set up a cross domain xml file in the localhost (port 80) but that
should allow requests from anywhere.  However, this didn't affect the
sandbox error at all.

Maybe some Adobe Flex/Apollo evangelist could take up the gauntlet ?
Any in the room ?

[flexcoders] Re: Make datagrid into spreadsheet

[powertool786]

How much like a spreadsheet do you want it to be?

If you just want every cell to be editable, does setting the
'editable' attribute on the DataGridColumn to 'true' not do the trick
for you?

If you wish to implement formulas and automatic 'trickle-on' updating
of cells references in formulas you have a number of problems:

  1) you'll need to customise your itemRenderer so that
   a) each cell represents an object containing a formula and the
  current value of the cell, and
   b) when the event that represents when the cell's content
  has changed is fired, you begin a recursive evaluation of
  the formula (with respect to referenced cells and their
  formulae).
  2) eval() has been removed from ActionScript 3.0, so you'll need to
 implement a parser and evaluation engine for whatever language
 you choose for formulas.
  3) you'll probably need to implement cycle-detection to prohibit
 infinitely (possibly mutually) recursive formulae (or implement
 laziness/iterators if you support that).
  4) you'll probably need to break up the evaluation into blocks of
 work (some recursion wrapper using a counter and callLater) to
 ensure that the user interface is updated often enough.

[flexcoders] Re: Access session cookies from within Flex?

You could obtain session values using jsp or php and pass it onto the
flex app as flashvars.

Well if it is true that their current TOS disallows flash site usage,

... and if you don't know the method or property at run-time, you can 
use describeType() that will return you an XML description of the

I don't know but from their TOS (

<< Any AdSense code must be pasted directly into webpages without
modification. AdSense participants are not allowed to alter any

or
<< No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages. >>

How do they consider a flex app ? it is not so clear..

[flexcoders] Re: Flex "Reflection"

[powertool786]

For ECMAScript in general (Javascript and ActionScript) you'd use a
for..in loop to iterate over the properties (including methods) of an
Object.

ActionScript changes for..in to only work over the "dynamic"
properties of an Object instance.

The docs say:
   "To get a list of fixed properties, use the describeType()
function, which is in the flash.utils package."
