[flexcoders] IFrame and modal dialog
Hi everyone, I've written an application that uses IFrame to load sub application. It works fine. But there is a slight glitch to it, that is whenever I have a modal popup, the popup always appears under the IFrame. Is there any way I can make my popup appear above the IFrame? Or is there any way I can just create a simple html to be displayed whenever I click on a button (instead of having the modal pop up). Thanks, Ivan.
[flexcoders] Reuse of action script files (for files build using Maven israfil plugin)
Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if anyone has figured out an easy way to reuse action script library across different project. I am writing different Flex applications now and they all reside in different folders. I'm using Maven to build my mxml files (israfil plugin). I'm wondering if we can compile some sort of common libraries that can be used by my different project (similar to how Maven builds Java, i.e. by specifying one project depend on another and can download the class files from the repository provided it's installed already). One way I can think of is to actually write all of the source code in one common folder and have all projects refer to this folder, but this is not the preferred way to do it as: 1. Different developers who need to work on project that uses this common code needs to download this common code as well (for the script include attribute to work). 2. It's introducing hidden dependency (we have to have the source which is in a different project/folder downloaded and yet in our maven pom file, we don't specify this dependency). If anyone can help out, that would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Ivan.

Yes, you can create tags http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.branchmerge.tags.html And branches as needed http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.branchmerge.html Just FYI, these are features of SVN (and other revision control systems have equivalents) and nothing to do with flex per se though. > Almost afraid to ask, but is that what "Ant" is for? It's a java based build tool - like make on steroids. Basically it's a way of automating the building and packaging of your projects and more. Useful in many programming environments as well as eclipse. hth charles
[flexcoders] Can Flex/SVN take a site-wide 'snapshot'?
By some freak of nature (and lots of help here!), I've been able to get Flex 2.0.1, CF7.0.2, PHP, Apache 2.2, MySQL 5, PHPEclipse, CFEclipse and SVN/Subclipse/TortoiseSVN all to run (developing in Eclipse of course) without causing an atomic mushroom cloud around my home...and it all seems to work excluding Apache-PHP-PHPEclipse integration since I use Apache2Triad right now. Now all I need to do is learn how to write code:) At this early stage, I've come to realize I can commit particular files, and go back if needed to grab the code...but when I'm working, I am obviously building variations not on just one file, but many, all of which should work, in sync, at any given time. My question is, say I find I did something really right across the board, only to realize I'd taken a wrong turn, is there some way to go back in time and revert the entire setup to how it was, i.e., go back to all the project files as they existed at a certain commit time of one particular file (like, the one I took the wrong turn with)? I'm sure this is a newb question...but what else is new for me... Almost afraid to ask, but is that what "Ant" is for? Shawn
[flexcoders] HyperText for Tutorial - design advice requested.
Newbie here. Please be gentle and details are MUCH appreciate. Nothing is too basic or explicit for the likes of me. I want to do some tutorial/help text where I want various words embedded in the text to allow me to have a number of functions: Tooltip - so that when you hover over a particular word in the text I can put up a tooltip. Also I would like the tooltip to potentially be something more complex than simple text. Specifically I may have an icon in the tooltip that you can click on that would play a sound. I looked into the event stuff that you can add to the anchor tag. That only seems to work if you click on the text marked with the tag, but doesn't seem to deliver an event if you simply hover over it. Alternatively I thought there might be a way to intermingle link buttons so that a particular word could have all that funcitonality. Or is there some other strategy for doing this. Again, the particular word/phrase would be embedded in a paragraph of text inside a TextArea. Also, I couldn't figure out how to make a more complex tooltip component (one that could incorporate images and text and be interacive). Rather than trying to extend tooltip functionality, should I be looking at using the PopupManager instead? If so, how do I get the PopupManager to make my turbotooltip appear at the correct offset from the word in the paragaph of text that should have this functionality? Finally, I also want to be able to control the layout of my help text page by page as well as intermingle animations. Would I be better off building all this in Flash instead of Flex? Any sample apps/sample code/books to read that people can point me to that would help me sort through all this would be GREATLY appreciated.

[flexcoders] IDs within repeaters and Bindings
Hi Flexies, Components within a repeater have IDs that are not document-scoped, thus the following binding expression will only work once. I need a way to overcome this... so that the expression is valid for the lifetime of the application. I have tried to do things like where findBar somehow uses the repeater index to return a reference to the desired instance of Bar. Now, the latter doesn't work either... as the binding still only works once. Any ideas?? I understand this is a current limitation, but are there any hacky ways around it?? Perhaps using separate mx:Bindindg tags? ( hmm hadn't thought about that... will give it a try ) Thanks, Aldo -- : Aldo Bucchi : mobile +56 9 8429 8300

[flexcoders] DataGrid + ItemRenderer Bugs?
I have a datagrid like below: and have 2 data source to fill the grid 1. name: X type: 1 name: Y type: 2 name: Z type: 3 2. name: X1type: 2 name:Y1 type: 1 name: Z1type: 3 Now, how can I set the combobox¡¯s selected value through data source ¡®type¡¯ field? I have tried it that uses a function to set selected value when data bind. But once I change the grid dataprovider( eg: web service return different data) or I sort the data by click the grid title, the combobox¡¯s selected value will change itself, but be not ¡®type¡¯ field value. It seems that the new selected value is the last data source¡¯s value. Is this a bug? Or do I mask a mistake?

[flexcoders] Extending Cairngorm to modules
Hi All, I am trying to develop a POC for extending cairngorm to modules, by having a moduleManager and any module implementing a certain interface can interact with other modules and the main application. I have done some bits on this, which I would post later out when done. Currently I am stuck with a problem, which is as following: I have a BusinessDelegate (part of module A) which calls a webservice (part of module A), but the ServiceLocator (part of the main application) which loads this module has the info for the webservice which is made available to it at run time. I have overriden the getWebService method of the serviceLocator which allows me to get the webservice object from the module as well. Now when this delegate gets executed and a call is made to the webservice object, where I can see the webservice object getting populated properly, the call doesn't seems to go over the wire. Whereas it does works in a normal scenario, ie in a simple application. Best Regards, Nikhil Tuli. Associate Software Engineer, Fidelity Business Services India Pvt.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 dispatchEvent and addEventListener question
You need to add your event listener to each of the components as they
are created. Flex 1.5 doesn't have real bubbling support so you need to
add the listener to each object. so you may need to iterate through the
array and add a listener to each item in there.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 dispatchEvent and addEventListener
question
Hello
I am working on a 1.5 project and i have an mxml page that creates an
Array of Components. These Components are basically a Container that
holds a few form elements.
if one of these components dispatches an event how would i set up the
parent page to listen for the dispatched event?
I have been able to successfully capture an event when i utilize the
"id" attribute of the component but because its an array of objects in
this case i cannot do that.
for instance i cannot do this..
thing.addEventListener("eventThrown", Delegate.create(this, onEvent));
Ive tried referencing the Repeater that generates the Array of Objects
but that does not detect the event..
I know this wouldn't be a problem in 2.x but I am unable to get the
parent to detect the thrown event in 1.5.
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Dave
