[flexcoders] send data from dragdrop target component.

[Ary]

Hi Guys,

i have a tileList as dragsource...and i have a
component that can accept this tileList dragdrop
operation, i catch the value of dragged element (of
one tileList data avalue)from component and display it
inside the component, now i want to share/send it back
to main app(parent) how can i do this

i try using eventListener but not succeed, using
metadata also can put to much parameter as the
tileList data array that i want to passed :(

Thanks in advance

ary.

Re: [flexcoders] nulling primitive data types

[EECOLOR]

If you want to set values to NULL in your database you could make a simple
method on the server side with a signature like this:

setValueToNull(table, column, primaryKeyColumn, primaryKeyValue)

You could get the primaryKeyColumn from the database metadata.

Re: [flexcoders] nulling primitive data types

[EECOLOR]

These are the simple types and their default values:

uint - 0
int - 0
Number - NaN
String - null
Boolean - false

I still do
not get your problem. In your database a representation of a boolean
would be a bit type. Which means that it's either true or false. You
could
look at your problem in antother way. A boolean should have two
values, that's what the term suggests. Your database however adds
another value: NULL. This is kinda strange. You could set the field in
your database to NOT NULLABLE and declare a default value. The field
in the database should represent something that is either true or false.

I hope this last bit makes any sense, quite hard to tell in a language which
is not your own.

[Arpit Mathur]

I forget the case for boolean but the null equivalent (ie declared but no
value) of Number is NaN. Wouldnt that work for you ?

[flexcoders] navigateToURL() GET method works fine, but POST doesn't work.

[Manu Dhanda]

Hii

On the click of a button, am calling following method:

 public function openNewWindow(event:MouseEvent):void {
var url:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("http://cco061-03:8088/openreports/executeReport.action";);
var uv:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
url.method = "POST";
uv.reportId="76";
uv.userName="admin";
uv.password="admin";
uv.exportType="2";
uv.displayInline="true";
uv.promptForParameters="false";
uv.ttSearchCasesParam="lbl_list like '2%CRUD_CR%ISGcq00370199%'";
url.data = uv;
navigateToURL(url,"_blank");
 }

if I 'll change the url.method = "GET", it is working fine.. but not with
POST. WHY???

Anyone have reasons and solutions for that???

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders]SWFLoader not sizing loaded swf

[Alex Harui]

A flex swf has two frames, the preloader frame followed by the app
frame.

 

In theory, the chat.swf should be sized by SWFLoader while it is in the
first frame, which should dictate the size for the rest of the app.  If
you run chat.swf in the standalone player what size is it?  What does
the mx:Application tag look like in chat.swf?  If you resize the
browser, does chat.swf respond?

 

It might be that the app frame has a bigger measured size than expected.

[flexcoders] help

[grimmwerks]

I'm very tired and have been struggling with poor documentation  
regarding the transitions and addChild stuff. I've been doing my fair  
share of google searches.

I'm having a love/hate relationship with flash. Today it hates me,  
and I it.

I've got a component that I'm trying to do a hide effect where it  
fades and blurs out. Great. The problem is, upon going back to that  
state where that component should be shown, it's in the blurred state.

How do I reset it at either then end of the transition that causes  
it, or at the state where this is 'inited'?

Please help.

[flexcoders] Anybody Out there Please! Re: Flex Builder/Webapp/Flex

[simonjpalmer]

I have exactly this set up with a J2EE servlet project using the WTP
Eclipse plug-in and a Flex Builder project in the wame Eclipse workspace.

It is best to start from the server project and create a Dynamic Web
Project first.  Get your servlet compiling and deploying into your app
server even if it is empty.  Create a Java package for your domain
model if you feel you need to start from having code.

Next create a Flex Builder project and use the server project you just
created as the context root.  I deploy my swf's into a folder at the
same level as WEB-INF which has the name of my app, therefore my URL
is of the form...

https://server:port/servletname/appname/projectname.html

e.g.

https://localhost:8443/pmco-spring-server/spm/spm.html in my case

pmco-spring-server is my WAR/EAR deployment name, spm is my app's
generic name and the name of the Flex project and spm is also the name
of my SWF root Application, so I have spm.html which embeds my spm.swf.

My folders look like this...

in the Java project...
C:\development\coral\eclipse\pmco-spring-server\src
C:\development\coral\eclipse\pmco-spring-server\src\pmco\pojos (my
domain model)
C:\development\coral\eclipse\pmco-spring-server\WebContent\spm this is
the output folder of my Flex project
C:\development\coral\eclipse\pmco-spring-server\WebContent\WEB-INF

on the flex side...

C:\development\coral\eclipse\spm this is my root app folder
C:\development\coral\eclipse\spm\pmco\pojos this is my domain model

"coral" is the release branch we are currently working on.

The steps to build and deploy (which we automate in production builds
using ANT) are to build the Flex project which has the output folder
set to the spm folder under WebContent in the Java project, and
therefore puts the swf's, html's etc into the deployment domain of the
Java app, and then to export the whole of the app from the Java side
as a WAR file.  That then gets copied into the deploy folder of the
servlet container, in our case JBoss, and the servlet is visible
through the web server.

You can actually start from flex or Java, it is just simpler to
configure the Flex project once you already have a server environment
set up and a server to talk to.

We have completely separate folders for each of the projects, Java and
Flex and the only link is that the code lived in the same SVN
repository and the Flex project builds into the Java project folder
for ease of deployment.

This has worked well for us and we are a multi-developer, multi-site
team.  We don't strictly partition responsibilities between server and
client code, but expertise tends to divide naturally along those lines.

I know it is a pain to get started and I hope this helps.  You'll
probably find a variant of this which will work for you and the
situation may be different for different app servers, but the J2EE
deployment model makes the structures similar in any case and don;t
worry, as long as you keep your code safe, restructuring when you
realise you have a better way of organising your activity is not the
end of the world.

Best of luck
Simon

Re: [flexcoders] Adding buttons to an Accordion header

[Doug McCune]

Yeah, you need to download flexlib. I just updated the zip file to include
the CanvasButtonAccordionHeader component. Download it here:
http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/downloads/list

unzip that zip file, grab the flexlib.swc file out of the bin directory that
gets unzipped. Add that into your project directory and set the project
preferences panel to reference that SWC file.

[flexcoders] Redirect to login page

[Manu Dhanda]

Hii

Can someone tell me how do i unload flex and load/redirect to login page,
once the session is over.

Currently, when the session is over. Obviously I cannot access any data from
the server side. But my flex GUI will still remain there and it doesn't
unload from the screen.

Can anyone guide me in the right direction.

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] nulling primitive data types

[Samuel R. Neff]

We use xxx.MIN_VALUE to represent null on both client and server (.NET).
We've been doing it in .NET for several years and now with Flex integration
it works very well.  Of course everyone needs to recognize that MIN_VALUE is
being used this way and if you actually had to store MIN_VALUE then you have
a problem, but we've never had the need.

Of course this doesn't work for Boolean, so for Boolean if you need nullable
then declare as int instead and use int.MIN_VALUE for null, 0 for false,
everything else for true. 

.NET itself now has nullable types which would be more elegant but they have
performance implications and would not provide as good interoperability with
Flex.

HTH,

Sam

Subject: [flexcoders] nulling primitive data types

Hello All,
  I've been running into a rather frustrating issue with flex: namely
that although data types are supposedly implemented as AS classes, you
cannot null variables of primitive data types e.g.

var blah:int =  null;   //blah == 0
var blah:Number = null; //blah == 0
var blah:Boolean = null;//blah == false

admittedly we can define -1 as null for non-Boolean types, but what if
a negative number becomes a logical value in some case?

now this wouldn't be a problem if we didn't have to communicate with a
SQL back-end, but sometimes I need to be able to pass a null value to
the db either to signify that the current value shouldn't be changed
or to specify that information is not currently known for the value.

Thanks for your time,

[flexcoders] Running AIR alpha apps... after the alpha cutoff

[Trevor.Peace]

Many of you, like me, may have been inconvenienced by the sudden demise
of all AIR apps built by Flex Builder 2.0.1 about an hour and a half
ago.

 

This may sound obvious, but you can continue to export and run alpha AIR
apps by setting the date on your computer backwards to a time before 5pm
on 9/18.  I've had no luck building or debugging Apollo apps via

[flexcoders] nulling primitive data types

[merelypixels]

Hello All,
  I've been running into a rather frustrating issue with flex: namely
that although data types are supposedly implemented as AS classes, you
cannot null variables of primitive data types e.g.

var blah:int =  null;   //blah == 0
var blah:Number = null; //blah == 0
var blah:Boolean = null;//blah == false

admittedly we can define -1 as null for non-Boolean types, but what if
a negative number becomes a logical value in some case?

now this wouldn't be a problem if we didn't have to communicate with a
SQL back-end, but sometimes I need to be able to pass a null value to
the db either to signify that the current value shouldn't be changed
or to specify that information is not currently known for the value.

my initial solution was going to be extending the String class to
create classes like NullableBoolean, which would check for a valid
boolean value and failing that accept null and nothing else, then
override the toString() function. Unfortunately, the String class is
declared final and cannot be extended. Even if this were not true,
it's not apparent how I could catch an assignment event and process
it, since there are no public get/set functions in the String class.

so now I'm leaning toward using dynamic Object properties that have no
explicit type, and I find this extremely unfortunate because I lose
both error checking and auto-completion features in FlexBuilder.

does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve some crazily
far-out hack? Seems to me that the flex data types are a far cry from
being robust.

Thanks for your time,
Pixels

[flexcoders] A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure

[droponrcll]

Hi, all;

I'm working through the tutorial in the Flex Builder 2 Training from 
the Source book, using Flex Builder 3 beta.  I accidentally called my 
events folder "Events", and now when I renamed it I get "A file found 
in a source-path must have the same package structure 'Events', as the 
definition's package, 'events'."  I have changed the package name to 
events from Events, and I've even tried deleting the file and 
recreating it from scratch, but I still get the error.  I had similar 
problems when I accidentally set the transparency of an AIR app without 
turning off its SystemChrome.  No matter WHAT I did to that file, I 
still got errors.  Unfortunately, I don't remember the fix to that.  If 
anyone could give me a suggestion or two, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Loading code from swf (instantiating classes from external swf)

[Steve Mathews]

Well using the non-module approach (again, I haven't used modules so I
can't speak for that method), you at least need to know what class to
instantiate.

It sounds like you are doing something very similar in concept to what
I am. So I provide an API (interface) that an external developer
builds their class to. All I need to know from them is what the fully
qualified class path is.

[flexcoders] Flex Builder/Webapp/Flex

[mattmadhavan]

Hi, 
I would like the have the best practice to set up a webapp in my Eclipse.
What are the recommended directory structure for java/flex source folders?
Do I first create a webproject in eclipse, then place my flex binary folders
in the webroot/WEB-INF folder? Do I keep my flex src code under webroot or
at the project folder?

If some one can give me a step by step instruction on doing this I would
appreciate it. I need to work with both Java(server side-J2EE) and flex
client in the same project.

Most flex app I see do not even have  a webroot folder. They just have
WEB-INF folder in the root folder.

Please, any ideas will be very appreciated.

Thanks
Matt

[flexcoders] Re: How to see if method is implemented in class

Alex left out the right double quotes. Since your function is a
property of your class like any global variable you can access it with:

if("validate" in myObject) {}

-or-

if(myObject["validate"])

-or-

if(myObject.hasOwnProperty("validate")) {}

[flexcoders] File upload compression (esp. gzip)?

[fgamador]

Is it possible to write a Flash/Flex/AIR app that compresses large
files during upload (ideally using gzip)?  As far as I can tell,
FileReference (and URLRequest) do not support this.  Is there any
other way?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Re: [flexcoders] Anybody Out there Please! Re: Flex Builder/Webapp/Flex

[Leif Wells]

Matt,

At my workplace, we normally have a team working on the front-end and
another working on the Java back-end.

Although we share the same Subversion repository, we place our code in
separate folders. The front-end team uses the root of the "flex" folder as
the base of our Flex Builder project.

For compiling, assembling and deploying we use Ant. Seriously, Ant is
awesome. Check out the Flex Ant Tasks found on Adobe Labs (
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Ant_Tasks) for some examples of
the tasks.

To generally describe this to you, we have two build.xml files, one in the
Java folder and one in the Flex folder. The Java file will call to the Flex
build file, compile the Flex files and assemble them, then compile the Java,
move the Flex files into the Java deploy folder and then create the War
file. When I come in to the office in the morning, I update my Subversion
repository, run the build process, start Tomcat and load up Flex Builder.

I can't share the Ant files with you today, but they honestly are fairly
easy to put together. That is one of the great things about Ant --- it's
fairly easy to use.

I hope this helps you.

Leif

[flexcoders] please: addChildAction examples

[grimmwerks]

I'm really confused as to how to make a vibrant, animated interface.

I've been told by the list that you can have addChild within a  
transition - seems not to be true, but you've got addChildAction and  
removeChildActions; trouble is, I can't figure out how they work.


The examples I've seen on the web only have a non-target, ie










But what does this mean? Does it mean that each of the sequence  
targets are instructed to do ANY addChild actions at that time?


If say I have a state with box1, box2, and box3; and I want to  
animate n box1 and box2, and, upon finishing, add box3, how would one  
do that? This doesn't seem to work:









alphaTo="1"/>







Can someone please show me how exactly this addChildAction works - I  
thought you could target specific addChild targets?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Removing children when they have no id

[Alex Harui]

As I mentioned, you are not resetting labelCollection, or calling
removeItemAt from labelCollection as you call removeChild().

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Removing children when they have no id

[Alex Harui]

Is it possible that you are not removing from the container you added
to?  Is this on the first reset or subsequent?  If not the first, then
the prob might be that you aren't resetting the labelCollection.

 

FWIW, it is probably  overkill to use AC instead of an array here.

the Flash CS3 HTML wrapper). As far as I know a few coders in this list

RE: [flexcoders] Alignment of SWF in HTML output

[Alex Harui]

I just looked at our default template.  I think you have to modify
AC_Generateobj in AC_OETags.js.  Someone else may have a better
solution.

 

You could add tags to the string or change from writing the document to
writing to something else.

Thanks Alex. I've tried wrapping different parts of the html in a
table/table row and divs, but neither have effects. Do you happen to
know which part should work to be centered in the whole page?

I have a Flex app with a defined size of 1024x768. I'd like to be able
to center this in the HTML page that it gets embedded in. I've tried
editing the FlexBuilder-generated html index page to include a div,
table, etc to try to get the SWF centered, but nothing seems to have any
effect. 
What am I missing? Is there an easier way?

 

 

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adding buttons to an Accordion header

[Doug McCune]

I'm using Flex Builder 3 and the example I posted seems to work for me.
Yeah, you might not get to use Design View, but then just don't use Design
View :) I didn't even realize this since I rarely ever use DV, but yeah, it
won't let you drop stuff on the CanvasButton. I have no problems adding via
MXML though. You're saying that if you add children in the MXML file then
FB3 won't compile that?

BTW, you should get the latest flexlib source code to use the
CanvasButtonAccordionHeader that I just added.

Re: [flexcoders] How to change positions of Alert popups in SHOW_ALL mode

Thanks Alex.

I found a method to fix the issue after scanning Flex SDK source code 
and a few experiments myself. Should be a bug inside Adobe codes that 
not function centerPopup correctly.

I'm not sure customize HTML wrapper could work right or not (I'm using 
the Flash CS3 HTML wrapper). As far as I know a few coders in this list 
had tested before also myself I didn't find it could work perfectly.

[flexcoders] Re: Validating items in DataGrids

[merelypixels]

seems to me that no mucking about with itemEditors is necessary...
extract the data you need from your dataProvider and then validate
that data directly before sending it on. If you want the little red
validation things, you should probably validate on a field by field
basis using the dataGrids itemEditEnd event, validating using
dg.itemEditorInstance and doing e.preventDefault() if the field is
invalid.

Hope that helps!

[flexcoders] Re: Adding buttons to an Accordion header

[kundigee]

Thanks guys for the great advise, although I'm still kinda stuck

1) Floating the buttons won't really work as the Accordions are 
dynamically created and the number of headers and panels can become 
very large requiring the headers to scroll on and off of the screen, 
sometime 1/2 off.  This would be dificult for me to keep up with, not 
immpossible, but a lot of work..
2) Tried the CanvasButton and I thought that this would work, but I 
can't seem to get it to work (I am using Flex 3 BETA).  The internal 
ActionScript adds the canvas to the button, as a child, but the 
Canvas never shows up and the IDE won't allow anything to be dropped 
on the Button/Canvas or manually inserted via MXML.  I get the 
warning message Design Mode: Cannot create Button because Button is 
not a vallid parent for that kind of item.

Am I doing something wrong, or does it just not work in Flex 3?

In the original post, you had 3 class vars  You still need those.  @Embed is

then the code I showed will choose one of the three variables.

Notice I have the width and height set to 500. In my test the content is
sized to the width and height of the browser. You can test this code:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"
creationComplete="{Security.allowDomain('static.chatopica.com')}">

http://static.chatopica.com/chat.swf?room=flex"/>

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Can't style a cursor with CSS, can you?

[Michael Schmalle]

Ben,

moveCursorSkin:Embed(source="moveCursor.png");

Embed creates a class. You could also use setStyle("moveCursorSkin",
MyCursorClass);

or;

moveCursorSkin:ClassReference("my.package.cursors.MyCursorClass");

bottom line is my manager calls basically,

var cls:Class = styleName.getStyle(cursorSkinName + "Skin");
if (cls)
{
   CursorManager.setCursor(cls, 0, offsetX, offsetY);
}

Peace, Mike

RE: [flexcoders] Removing children when they have no id

I'd keep an array of labels.

 

But you can search as well by testing if getChildAt(i) is Label

Hi everyone,

I am using the following code to dynamically add a number of labels to 
a panal.

for each (var item:XML in dataStream){
var someLabel:Label = new Label();
someLabel.text = item..title;
addChild(someLabel);
}

This works well, however, I am now up against a problem. Each of these 
labels does not have an id so I have no way to access them individually.

What I need to do is remove all of the labels when a user clicks a 
button, however, I can not use removeChild() since I do not have an id 
to each label, and infact, may not even know programatically how many 
labels are in the panal since it depends on what was returned from a 
database.

Any help on how I can "reset" this panal by removing the labels when a 
button click event occurs would be appreciated

Thanks 

Don

 

RE: [flexcoders] Removing children when they have no id

[Gordon Smith]

Make someLabel an instance var of your component or application rather
than a local var inside a method. An MXML tag declared with an id causes
simply such an instance var to be autogenerated by the MXML compiler.

[flexcoders] Re: Buttons in Flex !

[scalenine]

Like Alex mentioned, this will be something you'll be able to do in
Flex 3. I've done it using the Flex Component Kit, Flash CS3 and Flex
3 to replicate what George Comninos demoed at 360Flex:

http://www.colettas.org/?p=150
http://cruxy.com/stores/pubstoreDetailVideo.jsp?id=11450

It was pretty easy to do.

Also, I hate to keep blowing smoke, but Degrafa will eventually have
the ability to do that pretty easily. We'll see if it gets into the
initial beta launch in the next couple months. Here's some info:

http://www.degrafa.com/

If you find a solution beyond these, I'd like to hear.

Re: [flexcoders] Can't style a cursor with CSS, can you?

[Michael Schmalle]

Thats why for all of my custom components and managers I created a new
CursorManager that wraps the mx one.

In each of the managers or components I have;

/*
 * The move cursor skin for the MoveManagerFX.
 */
moveCursorSkin:Embed(source="moveCursor.png");
/*
 * The move cursor's x offset.
 */
moveCursorXOffset:-10;
/*
 * The move cursor's y offset.
 */
moveCursorYOffset:-10;


styles.

Where the styles names are organized by;

cursorName + "Skin";
cusrorName + "XOffset";
cursorName + "YOffset";

The custom cursor manager then uses the styleName of the client to get what
ever cursor is needed. There then can easily be set in styles anywhere.

Peace, Mike

[flexcoders] multiple effects in one state transition

I thought I could do this, but now it's throwing errors:



			




blurYTo="0" />







Basically I want one transition for a state where different elements  
move in different ways -- no?

[flexcoders] Can't style a cursor with CSS, can you?

[ben.clinkinbeard]

Pretty sure its not possible but just looking for confirmation. Since
CursorManager.setCursor() expects a class I assume thats the only way.
Correct?

to each label, and infact, may not even know programatically how many 
labels are in the panal since it depends on what was returned from a 
database.

Any help on how I can "reset" this panal by removing the labels when a 
button click event occurs would be appreciated

Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: How to see if method is implemented in class

[Doug Lowder]

Technically, if you plan to call the method wouldn't you also want to 
verify that it's a function?  Something like:

 if ("validate" in someObject && someObject["validate"] is Function) 

I suppose it might depend on the possible instance types of 
someObject.

RE: [flexcoders] Listening for all creationComplete() events

[Alex Harui]

systemManager will pick up app children plus popups and their children.
Not sure why initialize handler wasn't soon enough

Gordon, application's initialize handler didn't work the way I hoped.
There were still components being created that I was definitely not
picking up when the application was starting. I was able to pick them up
with an ADD_TO_STAGE capture listener from the systemManager and after
words the creation complete event worked great, which seemed odd.

 

 One of the things I was wondering is, should I try to listen to the
application instance for creation events or is listening on the system
manager just the same thing?

 

thanks for your help,

In the Application's initialize handler, use addEventListener() to
register on the Application instance for creationComplete events in
their capture phase.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Reduce size of my module! Really boring....

[Alex Harui]

I would recommend dumping link reports from the modules and examining
them to see what they share.  If there's a significant amount of stuff
or there are singleton managers or styles, they should go in the
sharedcode module pretty much like the version you've showed herer.

Hi,

I've got a problem I'm trying to resolve concerning validating a page
before submitting it to the server. I have a way to recursively get
each child on the page. However, I can't figure out a way to see if
the child has the validate() method implemented. Most of the
components are extended from TextInputs, ComboBox, etc, where I've
integrated a validator into each one that is custom for that type. So
my custom components will have a validate method, however, other
components - like Images, Buttons, etc - on the page don't have a
validate method. Is there a way to test that a method exists, before
trying to call it and causing an exception?

Thanks,

I don't think you create them, once you create a remote object in action
script you can just an operation by name from which to send. If the
method doesn't exist on the server I think this throws an error, but am
not sure exactly.

As Alex mentioned, the transitions property won't help you.

But, if all you want is a simple fade from one skin to the next that
*does* make things a bit easier to implement. You still have to
implement a custom skin, one in which you have the giant switch
statement selecting the skin based on whether its "up" "down" "over"
etc. Just google some tutorials on programmatic skins and you should
find some good examples (one in particular uses a radial gauge as an
example).

Once you have your programmatic skin doing basic switching between
states, you then just modify your giant switch statement so that when
the skin changes you start a timer that fades out the current skin and
fades in the new skin (or use an animation library).

[flexcoders] Validating items in DataGrids

[j_lentzz]

Hi,

I'm now trying to validating the contents of a datagrid and I was
wondering if there is an established way to do this.  It seems like I
would need to get an instance of the itemEditor and somehow pass it
the value on that row.  Then I would either call a validator against
that editor, or call a method contained in the itemEditor to do the
validation.  I can get the itemEditor to do validation when the user
is entering data, but I need to be able to do validation on all the
entries in the datagrid when the save button is pressed - to handle
the cases of missing data in required datagrid fields.  I've found
some examples of how to validate when the user is entering data for
that field, but not for validating the complete datagrid.  Any help or
ideas would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] Listening for all creationComplete() events

[Brian Holmes]

Gordon, application's initialize handler didn't work the way I hoped.
There were still components being created that I was definitely not
picking up when the application was starting. I was able to pick them up
with an ADD_TO_STAGE capture listener from the systemManager and after
words the creation complete event worked great, which seemed odd.

 

 One of the things I was wondering is, should I try to listen to the
application instance for creation events or is listening on the system
manager just the same thing?

In the Application's initialize handler, use addEventListener() to
register on the Application instance for creationComplete events in
their capture phase.

In the original post, you had 3 class vars  You still need those.
@Embed is compile time, so you have to embed the 3 images like you had

Cheers guys, just one quick check, is it possible with these two
methods:

1. I make an application and deploy it on the web.
2. You, knowing nothing about the application except the API I provide
you, write the extension and submit it in form of swf on my server.
3. My application recognizes that the new extension has been
submitted, it downloads it and uses the code from there.

Let's say I have an employee management system, where different
operations can be made on the employee. You write an extension where
user can for example use their web cam in order to save a pic in the
database. Now application is already up and running, and you submit
this to the server, I don't have to recompile and know nothing about
your part and all you need to know is my API. 

It's purely a hypothetical example but for the case above I would
provide something like that probably:

ModelLocator.empDataManager.addEmployeeDetail(id:String, name:String);
ModelLocator.empDataManager.editEmployeeDetail(id:String, value:Object);

you would call this from your swf like this:

ModelLocator.empDataManager.addEmployeeDetail("webcam_pic", "Webcam
pic");
ModelLocator.empDataManager.editEmployeeDetail("webcam_pic", picData);

What do you think?

I've got an image I'd like to function almost as a button - 
rollovers would trigger an effect, and clicking would trigger a

Trouble is, it's a rotated image; if I bring it in unrotated, it's 
got an alpha that seems to trigger both the rolls and the clicks; is 
there a way NOT having the alpha trigger it? Maybe bring the image

Hello everybody.

I am developing a system for use of sockets to a telnet server on port 6677.
Locally, everything goes fine, even creating a projector(exe).

But when it goes online, it don´t connect because some kind of
crossdomain error.

The problem is that I don´t have access to the 80 port of the server,
so my webserver is on 6680 port.

I try use:
Security.loadPolicyFile("http://servico.servidor.com:6680/crossdomain.xml 
 "); 

And also:
Security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://servico.servidor.com:6680/crossdomain.xml");

But, for some reason, he keeps giving me the sandbox error.

I did several alterations like:
Security.allowDomain(host +":6680")
Security.allowInsecureDomain(host +":6680");
Security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://"+ host
+":6680/crossdomain.xml");
Security.loadPolicyFile("http://"+ host +":6680/crossdomain.xml");

But still, nothing.

Somebody have any idea?

Hello Alex, i read your presentation and try find ant in your blog and
i found only this
(http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/2007/01/two_new_tools_flex_ant_tasks_a.h
tml
 ).

In examples used in your application you share code between modules
using a external AS class called SharedCode extends ModuleBase ... in
my case i don't had any dragManager or popupManager, just some
Datagrids, buttons, panels, rpc for amfphp and other commons
components. I should create a class with all this components? like this:

package 
{
import mx.modules.ModuleBase;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.controls.DataGrid;
import mx.containers.Panel;
import mx.controls.Button;

public class SharedCode extends ModuleBase
{
private var dragManager:DragManager;
private var dataGrid:DataGrid;
private var panel:Panel;
private var button:Button;
private var resultEvent:ResultEvent;
private var faultEvent:FaultEvent;
}

}

In your example you load your SharedCode.swf in MyApp.mxml, even i use
load externs in my module pointing to shrclasses.rpt should i must
load SharedCode.swf in my main app?

In your examples for Flex360 you don't show how use RSL together
--link-report and --load-exeterns modules.
In my project i'm using like teached in video on adobelabs, not using
any line comand compiler. 

I will use ant to compile because i'm using windows and cygwin don't
work for windows.

I try use ant following this tutorial:

Thanks, and sorry for disturb.

Hi,

Put your calling code in a try{} catch{} block, then you will not get the
RTE.

try {
   someObject.validate();
}
catche (e:Error)
{
   trace(someObject.className, "Has no validate() method");
}

There are a couple other ways but, this is pretty clean and gets the job

[flexcoders] Multiple operations on a webservice

[quantum_ohm]

Hello everybody !

I've been struggling with this for two days so if anybody would have
any idea...

I'm tryin' to convert a date with this format: 2007-09-06T10:00:00 to
: 2007,09,06
the problem I have is not about the formatting (I can do it), but
where/how to put the function which does it ???
the code below works fine, but as soon as I modify it to put my
formatting function (I tried several solutions), the "lst" component
send me back unexpected datas...

to clarify things :

- getEntriesForUser : returns some agenda entries for the running date.
- getDaysWithEntries : returns all the dates from the running month
where some agenda entries exist. 
Then I have to format these dates to display them in a dateChooser,
from which when I click one of these dates, I will display the
corresponding entry from the agenda.



http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
xmlns:com="com.*" layout="absolute" width="220" 
height="450" backgroundGradientColors="[#FF, #FF]"
initialize="initApp()" 
creationComplete="ws.getEntriesForUser.send();
ws.getDaysWithEntries.send()">




{user}
{LtpaToken}
{formatDate(dc.selectedDate)}






{user}
{LtpaToken}
{formatDate(dc.selectedDate)}














a little bit of help (even a big help) would be really appreciated

THx for your attention :-)

RE: [flexcoders] How to see if method is implemented in class

[Mike Krotscheck]

You could have your custom components implement a custom interface like
IValidatable that requires the validate() function, and then check
whether the class implements that interface by using the following:

 

if( yourComponent is IValidatable)

{

// Your code here

}

Subject: [flexcoders] How to see if method is implemented in class

 

Hi,

I've got a problem I'm trying to resolve concerning validating a page
before submitting it to the server. I have a way to recursively get
each child on the page. However, I can't figure out a way to see if
the child has the validate() method implemented. Most of the
components are extended from TextInputs, ComboBox, etc, where I've
integrated a validator into each one that is custom for that type. So
my custom components will have a validate method, however, other
components - like Images, Buttons, etc - on the page don't have a
validate method. Is there a way to test that a method exists, before
trying to call it and causing an exception?

Thanks,

John

 

[flexcoders] Vector graphics serialization format?

[Borek]

Hi all, is there some Flex-supported format for vector graphics
serialization? I mean, I can use something like

graphics.drawRect(1,2,3,4);
graphics.drawEllipse(...);
// etc.

while I would appreciate something like

 etc.

It would seems logical to me to have this kind of declarative
description rather than imperative method calls when the task -
creating user interface - is practically the same as when creating
containers and controls.

Thanks,
Borek

[flexcoders] How to see if method is implemented in class

[j_lentzz]

Hi,

I've got a problem I'm trying to resolve concerning validating a page
before submitting it to the server.  I have a way to recursively get
each child on the page.  However, I can't figure out a way to see if
the child has the validate() method implemented.  Most of the
components are extended from TextInputs, ComboBox, etc, where I've
integrated a validator into each one that is custom for that type.  So
my custom components will have a validate method, however, other
components - like Images, Buttons, etc - on the page don't have a
validate method.  Is there a way to test that a method exists, before
trying to call it and causing an exception?

Thanks,

[flexcoders] Embedded font not showing correctly

[candysmate]

I have embedded TTF Wingdings (although Windows has it named as
WINGDING.TTF) with:

@font-face {

src:url("/assets/WINGDING.TTF");

fontFamily: "Wingdings";
font-weight:normal;
unicodeRange: U+2717-U+2717;
}

I wish to display the cross shown in this font chart as character 251:
http://www.zakie.fsnet.co.uk/ChatRoomsStuff/Help/wingdingsfontchart.htm
(the cross above the tick)

in my mxml I have a label:



what is displayed is the capital U with the circumflex accent as shown
in the WEBdings chart. 

Any ideas please?

Previously I'd tried to use a Flash swf as my font source and got the
same result. I'm doing something wrong somewhere, but can't seem to
figure it.

[flexcoders] Re: Reduce size of my module! Really boring....

[danielvlopes]

Hello Alex, i read your presentation and try find ant in your blog and
i found only this
(http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/2007/01/two_new_tools_flex_ant_tasks_a.html).

In examples used in your application you share code between modules
using a external AS class called SharedCode extends ModuleBase ... in
my case i don't had any dragManager or popupManager, just some
Datagrids, buttons, panels, rpc for amfphp and other commons
components. I should create a class with all this components? like this:

package 
{
import mx.modules.ModuleBase;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.controls.DataGrid;
import mx.containers.Panel;
import mx.controls.Button;

public class SharedCode extends ModuleBase
{
private var dragManager:DragManager;
private var dataGrid:DataGrid;
private var panel:Panel;
private var button:Button;
private var resultEvent:ResultEvent;
private var faultEvent:FaultEvent;
}

}

In your example you load your SharedCode.swf in MyApp.mxml, even i use
load externs in my module pointing to shrclasses.rpt should i must
load SharedCode.swf in my main app?

In your examples for Flex360 you don't show how use RSL together
--link-report and --load-exeterns modules.
In my project i'm using like teached in video on adobelabs, not using
any line comand compiler. 

I will use ant to compile because i'm using windows and cygwin don't
work for windows.

I try use ant following this tutorial:
http://howtoforge.com/amfphp_adobe_flex2_sdk

Thanks, and sorry for disturb.

[flexcoders] Launch links in different windoe from TextArea?

[arpan srivastava]

Hi All,

I have a textArea which shows some html content like an image and some 
text. There are some hyperlinks in the html content and when i click any of the 
link it jumps to that link but in the same browser window. How can make it 
appear in some other browser window. I know about textarea's TextLink event but 
that requires you to change the links to  and I don't want to change this. Is 
there any way i can launch the links in different page?

Thanks
arpan

[flexcoders] Re: Need ideas on how to load and save room descriptions in xml

[oneproofdk]

I like the idea on describing where a wall "anchors"!

The task is to make some preconfigured templates, where the user will
be able to see a drawing of the template with each wall identified by
A B C... and then a corresponding text input box, where they can input
the length of that wall.
Obviously some of the walls must be calculated from other walls.

Thanks for your input so far. 

If you come up with more please dont hesitate to email it. :-)

Thanks,
Mark
