[flexcoders] Dynamic Array Object Keys

[Jeremy Rottman]

I finally figured out my issue with my dynamic datagrid columns, and
what not. However, I have run into a new problem with this little project.

In previous versions of Actionscript, I have been able to create
dynamic array object keys. However in AS3, I am not able to figure out
how to do so. In previous versions of AS the creation of my array
would look something like this.

Target is the dispatcher, which is the loader of the image.  Try
currentTarget, or use rptFoto.getRepeaterItem

[flexcoders] SalesBuilder in FLex(Source Code included)

Hey, i decided that i am going to release the source code for the SalesBuilder 
app done that was done in Air by 

   Christophe Coenraets 
http://www.coenraets.org/blog/

Its under the  MIT license so i have been told it is OK. 

I rewrote the entire thing to work in Flex, and added loads of comments so 
anyone can understand what i am doing. Keep in mind that this is my first 
programming language and i am only self taught. it's been only ~5 month that i 
got into programing. So tell me if there is something that i need to fix or if 
i am using wrong techniques. THis program is functional about 85%, i still 
havent done the whole send back to the database when somone clicks on save  and 
some minor stuff so it replicates it. I did the whole thing in one week before 
school started so i am busy now and prob wont finish it till end of month. Any 
how here is the link http://code.google.com/p/salesbuilder/downloads/list 


--You need Coldfusion 8
--Microsoft sql 2005
--You must create a dataSource in the coldfusion admin called SalesBuilder
-Database in sql must also be called SalesBuilder

RE: [flexcoders] Re: CB dataProvider - can it be filenames in a folder (maybe with CF7.0.2)?

[Tracy Spratt]

Client as  in Flex app running in the FlashPlayer in a browser on some
machine.

 

The only filesystem you can access at all in Flex is on a server
somewhere.  If you want filenames in a Flex client app, you will have to
use a server-side process to grab a text representation of some part of
the server filesystem, and send it back to Flex.

 

Perhaps I do not understand your goal.

Re: [flexcoders] Fill outline of a Sprite

[Arpit Mathur]

var s:Sprite = mysprite;
s.graphics.lineStyle(1);
s.graphics.drawRect(0,0,s.width, s.height)

that would work to get the bounds(rectangle)

If you just want an outline of the actual sprite itself, you may consider
using a 1pixel outer glow filter.

Using a debugger player and debug swf (so it won't work in production

It certainly worked for me. Still only tested on my own machine, so if
the license is keyed to CPU or something than this doesn't immediately
solve my problem after all, but certainly points in the right direction.

Sounds like Adobe support should have posted here, too :)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Follow-up on the watermark thing

[Matt Chotin]

Sorry that support was unaware of this.  We have tried hard to follow
Adobe standard practice and make any public betas of our software
completely available to those who have licensed copies of the current
version.  Where behavior appears crippled when in fact you should be
entitled more likely a bug (or user error J).  The one exception is the
automation library which was included in Flex Builder and is permanently
locked in trial mode for Beta 1, simply because it was in the process of
being migrated to a different delivery mechanism.  It will be unlockable
in Beta 2.

 

Hope this helps,

Matt

[flexcoders] Architecture theorical questions

Hello everyone,

I just get started with my development consultancy and need a clearer
definition of some of the most recurrent terms. I know their
definition, what I am interested in finding out is how the most expert
of you would describe the differences or similarities between:

- the architecture
- the micro-architecture
- the application programmatic interface or API
- the interface or ISomething
- the software development kit or SDK
- the framework

Re: [flexcoders] Currently selected tab in TabNavigator?

Hi,

use selectedIndex or selectedChild.

When using selectedChild you can use;

selectedChild.label to get the label of the tab that is selected.

When using selectedIndex you can use;

var tab:Tab = Tab(tabNavigator.getTabAt(tabNavigator.selectedIndex));
tab.label
tab.icon
tab.data

OK, if you have more than one MXML file, then you have a document tree
where each mxml file represents a document whose parentDocument is the
parent of the top tag in that MXML file.  Thus some number of calls to
parentDocument should get you where you want to go.

was thinking if you could give me some ideas on how to do it.

The application should be text based.. read / write text file (if

to keep it so simple.

Any ideas? sample code maybe or links?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Full Screen Mode

[Steve Mathews]

I for one would second the forced non-transparent background when
full-screen. I really can't think of a good reason that you would even want
full-screen with a transparent background.

[flexcoders] problem using a single clickevent for multiple datagrids

[dorkbrain2000]

I have a tab navigator that has datagrids on each respective tab. The
datagrids are populated with a RemoteObject call and all works fine.
When the user clicks on a row (itemClick), the state changes and they
are brought to the details screen (for editing the content in a form).
The content grab is another RemoteObject call repective to the row
they clicked in the base state. So, the problem is, how do I make my
pickRow() function generic? It gathers the event goodies on the
rowClick and passes them to the RO call and passes the argument. But,
when I place the argument in the RemoteObject tag call, I need to
specifically reference the datagrid id. So this only works for one
data grid. How do I make it work for all the datagrids. I have wittled
the code down and placed it below.

TIA - Ben

[Flexcoders]How to Pass Data From Server to Client On App Load

[eric . guesdon]

Hi Charlie,

Hervé's solution is right if you just want to get simple and non  
secure data to the client. But careful, if you want to get any  
security matrix information.

 From my point of view security must not apply client size.

Date turned from SQL needed to be converted to a date object first

private function formatDate(item:Object, column:DataGridColumn):String
{
dateFormatted = new DateFormatter();
dateFormatted.formatString = "DD-MM-";
var rawDate:Date = new Date(item[column.dataField]);
return dateFormatted.format(rawDate) as String;

Hi Charlie,

Here is the way I do that:
1- login is made through a single component connected with the server 
over https; Call it login.
2- every user has a XML file o the server;  this file describes what the 
user can do with your app. Call it userDescriptor
3- the app is one swf which calls login component.


It's run like this:
- app.swf is launched first but is not visible and only shows login ;
- login makes authentication over https ;
- if authentication est correct, the server returns the userDescriptor ;
- app becomes visible if userDescriptor is correct. And app's behaviour 
can be binded on userDescriptor.


There is 2 ways for integrating login with app:
1- login is a swc file, including the HttpService which sends the login 
and password over https. This way, app will get userDescriptor from an 
eventListener listening the result event of this HttpService.
2- login is a swf file, including the same HttpService. This way login 
will get the userDescriptor from its own event listener listening the 
result event of HttpService and will pass the userDescriptor through a 
public MXML variable of app.

If one of these patterns is convenient for you, tell me if you need more 
details.

[flexcoders] Re: CB dataProvider - can it be filenames in a folder (maybe with CF7.0.2)?

[shawn.gibson]

Tracy - it's always a single directory, no subfolders, so no hierarchy
concerns, I'd think. I've done some studying. Am I on the right track
by thinking I should use the cfdirectory tag, set to a list, turned
into a query variable, and pass that back to Flex as some sort of
object, which then becomes my CB dataProvider?

The actual folder WILL be based on a variable (i.e., it will be
something like: 

(particular user)/model/galleries/THIS or THAT gallery folder (with
.xml files in it - these .xml file titles are the content of the ComboBox)

...but that could, I hope, be given to CF on the fly by Flex, based on
who is in the system (roles) and what folder he/she is hoping to work
with and in fact everything except the actual gallery folder, I have
already gotten into XML, and so has a readily-available variable to
work with.

Is cfdirectory the right way to start?
