[flexcoders] Flex and Google Adwords API

[mleembruggen]

Has anyone played with the google adwords api in flex?

I can't find any examples online and I am yet to actually make a 
successfull call to it.

I think the trouble I'm having is because it needs headers in the soap 
call.

I've tried using the addSimpleHeader method but no luck.

Here is the wsdl to the sandbox. 
https://sandbox.google.com/api/adwords/v10/CampaignService?wsdl

I'm just trying to make a successfull call to the 
getAllAdWordsCampaigns method.

Please help. If you have any example code that would be great.

Thanks
Mike

[flexcoders] Access to the WindowedApplication instance??

Is there any way to access the instantiated WindowedApplication via

[flexcoders] Re: actionscript generation of mask/hitArea from bitmapdata...

[dodtsair]

Hmm constructing an array of vectors from a bitmap sounds intensive.

Here is how I solved the problem.
Application:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
xmlns:cmps="Components.*" layout="absolute">







CroppedImage.xml (bad name I know):

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
creationComplete="initBuffer()" resize="initBuffer()">





Seems to support resizing.  Basically I create a BitmapData object,
and have the image draw itself onto the BitmapData. I get the pixel at
the x,y location.  I check the alpha value and return the result.

Unfortunately I couldn't figure out a way to do this before the event
handler, so each handler is going to have to call the hitAlphaPoint
and act on the result.

[flexcoders] Muting sounds globally.

[media_fw9999]

I ve trolled around and tried a few things including the Flash approach 
of a global sound object but nothing seems to work.

I have a flex app which uses other swf's and has sounds in it. I want a 
mute button on the page that mutes all the sounds.

So SoundMixer.stopAll() doesnt work because it misses the AS sounds, 
and its not possible for me to go track every found object and mute it.

I tried the this.soundTransform.volume=0 which doesnt seem to do it 
either.

Isnt there a simpler way to do this in Flex. ???

Although I have noticed atleast two examples the assume a sprite can

being called, the code itself is not explicit and I don't know enough

While the default Flex zip code validator only checks whether the value 
looks like an acceptable US ZIP or Canadian postal code, it wouldn't be 
too hard to subclass it to emit the associated state/territory for a 
given zip code in a custom validation result event.  The range of ZIP 
codes mapping to each state or territory is relatively small and mostly 
contiguous, so you can probably get away with embedding it into a Flex 
class without a significant size overhead.

You can find a list of the mappings here:

[flexcoders] Re: How to filter out nodes from an XMLList?

[ambrice]

Thanks, that works for me.

I think while searching for a solution I read that Mozilla's
javascript engine extends E4X to support "delete" with XMLList objects
which I think should be part of the spec if it's not.  The intuitive
thing to do would be to say "delete xmlNode.children();" and not have
to worry about looping.

Yeah I was trying to keep it simple and show a non-binding

I tried both

var obj:Object = dataCollection.getItemAt(indices[i]);
obj.data = val.text;
dataCollection.itemUpdated(obj);


and


var obj:Object = dataCollection.getItemAt(indices[i]);
obj.data = val.text;

dataCollection.itemUpdated(dataCollection.getItemAt(indices[i]));


What am I doing wrong?


But looking at the docs did clue me in on the
disableAutoUpdate() and enableAutoUpdate() methods which I'll try for

In most cases, the symbols defined in the SWF file that are referenced

This is known as static linking. The application compiler only includes

in the final SWF file.


My question, does the compiler include dependant classes from the swc
that are already included in the swf, for example if UIComponent is used
in the swc will it add it again to my swf unnecessarily adding to the

RE: [flexcoders] LCDS: Reordering managed collections?

[Jeff Vroom]

If you implement the Assembler interface (rather than using the
sync-method tag), you can use the addItemToFill and removeItemFromFill
methods in the Assembler interface.  You should see the item get removed
from the fill at one location and added at another one.  This has not
been a heavily used feature so let me know if you run into problems with
it.  Here are the javadoc comments - note the "warning" about the fact
that these methods do not support any conflict detection:

 

/**

 * Called when a client adds an item to a filled collection.

 * 

 * You can use this method to track changes made to a filled
collection

 * by client applications.  Usually the results of a fill are
maintained

 * by a query made on the server and so changes made by the client 

 * are temporary or replaced when the server has a chance to update
the fill

 * based on reexecuting the query.  In some cases though, you may
want 

 * to turn auto-refresh off for the fill, and track the changes made
by

 * the client to the filled collection.  You might do this if the
list of

 * items returned for a given fill is maintained by an explicit list
of

 * object ids.

 * 

 * Warning: if you need clients to maintain a consistent order

 * of items, you may not want to use this technique.  If two clients

 * insert different items into the same position at roughly the

 * same time, each will have processed the inserts in different

 * orders and so will have the two items swapped.  You can ignore

 * the position and maintain consistent lists where order is not

 * critical or the client sorts the list.

 * @param fillParameters the list of parameters which identify the
fill

RE: [flexcoders] How to filter out nodes from an XMLList?

[Tracy Spratt]

There is no Object.appendChild(), or Object.insertChildBefore(), or
Object.insertChildAfter(), or Object.children(), or Object.parent(),
or

 

If that is indeed the argument, then I think it is a "foolish
consistency".

 

But that is just my emotional opinion, I do not even pretend to think at
that level of design.  I'm a coder, in the end, I'll work within the
language.

I think their argument is that there is no Object.delete() either.  To
me, the whole point of E4X is to get at XML more like it was an object.

I think the key in that is using the ordinal index into the XML list.

I know Adobe is following the ecma specifications, but someone needs to
slap those ecma guys for not providing an XML.delete() method.

I have used this function to delete the child nodes of a function.  I
think that you could replace the "children()" with any e4x expression:

  private function deleteChildren(xmlNode:XML):void

  {

var xlChildren:XMLList = xmlNode.children();

for (var i:int=xlChildren.length()-1;i>=0;i--)

{

delete xlChildren[i]; //so
remove all the children

}   

  }//deleteChildren

I want to delete all nodes in an XML/XMLList that match a filter. 
Something like:

delete myxml..employee.(@name == "Bob");

However I get an error saying you can't use delete on an XMLList. I
tried:

for each (var node:XML in myxmllist) {
delete node;
}

But I get an error about not being able to delete a staticly assigned
variable or something like that. There also doesn't seem to be a
node.remove() method or anything handy like that. Actionscript's E4X
implementation seems to think that you would only want to add nodes to
an XML. Any ideas?

[flexcoders] AIR and Flex

[Adam Reynolds]

Hi,
After reading about the Air Derby winners 
http://blog.everythingflex.com/2007/10/02/air-derby-winners/

I downloaded and installed Digimix.

Please please please tell me that AIR is going to have a better removal 
system. It stuck the Digimix app launcher in the Start->All Programs 
folder rather than creating a separate folder for it and providing an 
uninstall facility as part of the install. I had to go into the control 
panel and remove it from there.

Now I don't know if this was the way the Digimix AIR app was designed or 
whether this is an inherent issue with the way Flex Air apps are built, 
but there needs to be an obvious uninstaller as part of an Air install 
and it should always create a folder into which the programme launcher 
goes (with associated uninstall).

I also noticed that the install process only gave me the option if I 
wanted to create a shortcut on the desktop only.

I expect to be downloading 10s of apps and trying them out. What I don't 
want is not obviously un-installable AIR apps all over the place.

This is not a criticism of Digimix, just a concern that AIR apps do not 
behave "installation wise" as I would expect by creating a programme 
launch folder which may also contains an uninstall option.

[flexcoders] help builing a component in Flash CS3 for Flex

I'm building a pretty simple component in Flash and need to access my 
a few things that sit on the application in Flex.

I'd like to pass an array from the Flash to Flex and would also like 
to invoke my web service from the Flash as well.  Can anyone lend a 
hand in this?  There must be a way to access the vars, arrays, etc. 
from the Flex part of this.  

Here's the basics


addEventListener("click", clicker);

protected function clicker (event:Event):void {

ws2.GetGlobalRadarFullById.send();
//get's the date in a main movieClip in the Flash
trace((parent as MovieClip).dates);

[flexcoders] Mouse Wheel over TextArea

[toofah_gm]

I have a Canvas with a number of TextArea components, Images, Sprites,
etc, on top of it.  The Canvas itself is a scrollable area.  When I
use the Mouse Wheel over most parts of the Canvas, it scrolls up and
down.  If my mouse is on top of one of my TextAreas, the Canvas does
not scroll when I use the Mouse Wheel.  This is the case even though
my TextAreas are not editable nor selectable.

Is there a way to get my Mouse Wheel to scroll my Canvas even when it
is over my TextArea components?

[flexcoders] Re: Return a person's age

[Doug Lowder]

Ah, but if the OP wants an answer in the form "the person is X years 
old today," that's where the problem arises.  A good edge case is:

Birthday: 2/28/2000
Today: 2/27/2001

With the getTime() approach, new Date("2/27/2001").getTime() - new 
Date("2/28/2000").getTime() gives 3153600 (Jan 1, 1971 UTC), or 
365 days.  In this case the age is not 1 though, because that year 
was 366 days instead of 365.  That's why I would still choose to do 
the calculation without getTime(), and why I don't think those doc 
examples are particularly good ones - a day is not always 24 hours, a 
year is not always 365 days, etc.



And sorry for beating a dead horse so badly! :)

Actionscript does not allow overriding of function signatures, otherwise
we would have done that.  Because we can't do that, you have to live
with "rules".  The rules in flex are:
 
Navigator children must be containers
Container children must be IUIComponents
UIComponent children can be anything.

1. Sprite is both a DisplayObjectContainer and a DisplayObject.
2. A DisplayObjectContainer (like Application) has the function
addChild(child:DisplayObject):DisplayObject.

Thus I should be able to call addChild and pass it a Sprite. However
I can't and I get the error "TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion
failed: cannot convert flash.display::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to
mx.core.IUIComponent."

So it seems that the documentation and/or the implementation is wrong?
You should be able to pass a sprite into addChild? Maybe I made a
typo and just have not caught it?

Here is the app used to produce the error:

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









I have seen several examples use this same call, I can fix it by using
a class that is derived from Sprite and IUIComponent.

Flash Authoring is a huge application and part of its size is due to a

You will need to describe in vectors and curves (preferably just

I am trying to do the same thing. I wanted to build a widget that
would allow the user to click on a world map to select his timezone.

At this point like you I have failed to use the hitArea to filter the
mouse events. The next thing I will try is grabing the x,y of the
mouse event and trying to pull out the pixel data of the image at that
point. We'll see if I succeed.

[flexcoders] Linechart dataprovider question

[Nate Pearson]

I have a line chart where I'm dynamically adding line series.

At first, I have no data in the chart.  Then I add a series.  The
horizontal axis is a category axis.  When I add the series I have to
set the dataprovider on the linechart to the same dataprovider for
that series.

Now lets say I add another series who's category access exceeds that
of the already set linechart dataprovider.  How can I get that data to
show?

Here's an example to make it more clear.

1)I add line series one and set the linechart dp to it.  It has data
from august 05 to jan 07.

2)I add a second line series.  It has data from july 06 to sept 07.  

3) The line chart does not show any category axis fields after jan07.

Anyone know how to make it so it justs adjusts to the min and max of
the data I give it?

What am I doing wrong?


But looking at the docs did clue me in on the disableAutoUpdate() and
enableAutoUpdate() methods which I'll try for our objects with bindable

RE: [flexcoders] How to filter out nodes from an XMLList?

[Alex Harui]

I think their argument is that there is no Object.delete() either.  To
me, the whole point of E4X is to get at XML more like it was an object.

I think the key in that is using the ordinal index into the XML list.

I know Adobe is following the ecma specifications, but someone needs to
slap those ecma guys for not providing an XML.delete() method.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Problem filtering custom list component

[Alex Harui]

I don't know if you've followed the thread about "multipurpose item
renderers" or other recent threads I've responded to, but you'll see me
constantly pushing for "following the recipe".  This is particularly
true in renderers because they get recycled so that one instance of the
renderer can be re-used to display some other data item in the
dataprovider.
 
The renderer isn't quite "following the recipe".  Normally, a renderer
does not listen for change events from the owner list.  Instead, we
recommend that visual updates be done in overrides of updateDisplayList
which will be called on your renderer when selection changes, and a call
to isItemSelected should let you update the checkbox appropriately.  I
don't think I'd be trying to update visuals in a setter for listData
either.
 
I can't guarantee that is your problem, but could eliminate some
timing/recycling issues.  So, I'd start there and see if that clears up
the issue.  Apparently, it is difficult for many of you to find the
appropriate documentation on how to build renderers.  Where are you
looking and what can we do better to help you understand the "process"?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Return a person's age

[Tracy Spratt]

Oops, yes, the subtraction should be reversed.

 

But one of the overloads of the Date constructor takes a single
argument, the number of milliseconds from the reference date, the same
reference date as the getTime() method.  The doc example shows this
method for adding time to a date, but I expect it will work for
subracting time as well.

[flexcoders] Newbie Focus on Result Question

[its_llpj]

Hello,

I have a datagrid and underneath the datagrid I'm using a Form to
display the entire record. When I click on a cell in the datagrid it
shows the data in the form, but you have to manually scroll down to
view the information. I would like to scroll down the page and focus
to the Form to show the rest of the record. This way I can keep the
datagrid reasonably small. 

Thanks!

I am trying to do the same thing.  I wanted to build a widget that
would allow the user to click on a world map to select his timezone.

At this point like you I have failed to use the hitArea to filter the
mouse events.  The next thing I will try is grabing the x,y of the
mouse event and trying to pull out the pixel data of the image at that
point.  We'll see if I succeed.

If anyone knows a better more straight forward solution I think we
would both appreciate it.

[flexcoders] Bug? Flex breaks composite design pattern

[dodtsair]

1. Sprite is both a DisplayObjectContainer and a DisplayObject.
2. A DisplayObjectContainer (like Application) has the function
addChild(child:DisplayObject):DisplayObject.

Thus I should be able to call addChild and pass it a Sprite.  However
I can't and I get the error "TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion
failed: cannot convert flash.display::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to
mx.core.IUIComponent."

So it seems that the documentation and/or the implementation is wrong?
 You should be able to pass a sprite into addChild?  Maybe I made a
typo and just have not caught it?

Here is the app used to produce the error:

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

  



  



I have seen several examples use this same call, I can fix it by using
a class that is derived from Sprite and IUIComponent.

[flexcoders] Force an update to grid renderers

[wmjdev]

I have an array of generic objects (not flagged as bindable) I am also
using item editors as renderers in all columns. but if I change a
value in an underlying object, is there anyway short of a full refresh
or calling updateList on the grid to get it to pick up the change. If
I resize the grid I can see the change, but for the life of me, I can
not figure out what event to dispatch on the list to tell the current
row to repaint.

[flexcoders] LCDS: Reordering managed collections?

[Robert Csiki]

Hello,

Suppose I have a managed collection and I want to reorder its items 
(say via Drag and Drop, on a TileList).
I want the FDS to save this new item order to the persistance layer 
(database).
On the LCDS side how to get the changes done as a result of 
rearranging the items done by the user?

I noticed my data service destination's "sync" method gets invoked by 
the framework, but it only contains what items to "delete" and what 
to "create", and nothing about the new item position in the list.

I am using the Java adapter on the LCDS side.
Please help.

Thanks
Robert

RE: [flexcoders] Sorting content in a List component

[Alex Harui]

I would take a sample set of data returned from CF and bake it into the
app and see if it sorts.  If not, then you can post that as a test case.
 
Also, shouldn't you be doing this in dragDrop and not dragComplete?

The data I want to sort on is the label, which is actually a row in the
query that is returned... coldfusion manufacturers the label content in
the query.
 
So it's just a string.

I have two lists, with the ability to drag items from one to the
other. works fine..

However, my users have asked that the data in the "destination"
list
be sorted alphabetically rather than just dropped in place. 

I can't get this to work though. By default, the list items are
dragged in and placed in the array collection where they are
dropped.

So I've added the following code to my dragComplete vent
handler: 

var target:List = List(cboSelectedFundcodes);
var sort:Sort = new Sort();
sort.fields = [new SortField("LABEL", true)];

ArrayCollection(target.dataProvider).sort = sort;
ArrayCollection(target.dataProvider ).refresh();

However, this doesn't seem to have any affect.

Any suggestions?

Wouldn't that produce a negative number, given that birthDate 
probably comes before todayDate?

Discounting that, I think that would give you the person's age in 
milliseconds.

RE: [flexcoders] TileList invalidateList not working

[Alex Harui]

By default, and for performance reasons, there is no write-detection to
properties.  You use proxy, [bindable] or setters to detect writes.
 
Collections will watch their items for changes if they can, but you are
using dynamic objects and they have to write-detection.   Collections
have an itemUpdated method to allow you to manually notify the
collection that something that could not be watched changed.

Hopefully an easy one. Please try the simple test case below. Select one
or more items, enter a new label and click "Update". You can optionally
select the checkbox to force an invalidateNow after the update, but
either way, the list doesn't refresh. If you scroll down and up, then
they refresh.

How can I get my TileList to refresh when data changes?

[flexcoders] FileReference + multiple uploads

[Matthew Ganz]

Hi.

I thought that if I have an array of FileReference objects, I can iterate over 
them and call upload() on each one without waiting for a response from the 
previous one. The problem is that my java upload service is only uploading 1 
file and I don't know why the others aren't going thru. 

Here is my code. Has anyone else experienced this before?

Thanks for any tips. -- Matt. 

private function uploadFiles(event:MouseEvent):void{
 var request:URLRequest = new 
URLRequest("http://localhost:8080/MyServer/esri/UploadFile.action";);
try
{
 if(fileRefObjects.length == 3){

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Sort string like number in datagrid

[Tracy Spratt]

My understanding is that the DG will sort numerically if the column
contains true numbers (not strings that look like numbers).

 

Be sure you are placing a true number in the dataProvider  item
property.  But to store the data formatted as money, it can't be a
number, so...

 

Another solution would be a custom sort function.

 

Tracy

[flexcoders] B2 Upgrade overwrites html template

[Richard Rodseth]

I just installed FB3 B2, and noticed that my modification of
index.template.html (which I had checked into Subversion luckily) was
overwritten when I restarted eclipse with the new plugins. Just a
heads up to anyone else who has modified this file.

By the way, I like to install FB3 in an Eclipse extension location,
and the only way I've been able to do this reliably has been to
install into an Eclipse classic folder, and then copy the features and
plug-ins to my extension location. In the absence of an Eclipse update
site,  I'd like to see this supported more directly in the installer.

Good news is the builds seem quite a bit snappier!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Problem filtering custom list component

[Rick Root]

Good to know that it's not just me, bad to know that it's a problem.

My beta users (we're curretnly beta testing an application where I'm using
this pretty heavily) absolutely love th feature.  If they want to select 5
or so items from a list of several hundred, it makes things a LOT easier for
them.. except when you select one item and it gets unselected when you
filter again and select another item! :)

Re: [flexcoders] Sorting content in a List component

[Rick Root]

The data I want to sort on is the label, which is actually a row in the
query that is returned... coldfusion manufacturers the label content in the
query.

So it's just a string.

RE: [flexcoders] Passing Application.application.parameters to a Flex component

[Tracy Spratt]

Just leave off the "new":

service = PropertyService(Application.application.parameters.psAddr);

 

I typically do:

  import mx.core.Application;

  private var _app:Application;

 

  private function initComp():void 

  {

_app = Application.application;

  ...

 

Then I can use _app whenever I need to access the top level application
scope.

Two ways:

if(shouldcontinuepolling) setTimeout(pollServer,1000);

}

 

Or

 

function pollServer():void {

//do polling here

}

var pollInterval:uint=null;

function onCreationComplete():void {

pollInterval = setInterval(pollServer,1000);

}

Later when you need to stop polling:

if(pollInterval!=null) { clearInterval(pollInterval); pollInterval=null;
}

RE: [flexcoders] Last displayed character of a textArea?

[Alex Harui]

It should involve getting to the underlying textfield, getting
bottomScrollV, calling getLineLength and other get* methods.

Subject: [flexcoders] Last displayed character of a textArea?



I am dealing with a rather annoying dilemma. 

Often I'll set text or htmlText of a textArea dynamically. I will also
turn off scrolling. 

Often as the case may be, the set text is longer than the displayable
area. I'd like to be able to get the "displayed text length" (ie:
last character position displayed). This is extremely hard to
calculate due to the large variety of factors (ie: font size, word
spacing, word wrap, etc). 

This must exist internally because Flash already recognizes whether a
word extends beyond the bounds of the textArea and instead of simply
cutting it off at the edge; it removes the entire word from display.

Anyone aware of any way to get the last displayed character?



 

Re: [flexcoders] Last displayed character of a textArea?

[Daniel Freiman]

TextArea uses TextField to render the text characters.  If you look at the
livedocs (
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/flash/text/TextField.html),
you'll see a lot of useful methods and properties.  There are probably a
couple ways to do this.  I would iterate through the lines of text using
getLineMetrics() and check to see if the line was inside the bounding box of
the TextField.  The character before that line should be the last character
shown.  Note that I'm not sure if you're going to care about the position of
the top of each line, or the bottom of each line.  You'll have to test
things like that for yourself.  To get to the textField of a TextArea you
can either subclass the TextArea or use textArea.mx_internal::getTextField().
(for more information on mx_internal see

Hi All

I use alerts in my application to warn about errors, give information
ect and most of the time it is fine.

Sometimes however the text falls off the side of the box and the icon
is in compleatly the wrong place (see image:
http://giles.roadnight.name/images/AlertError.gif
 )

When this Alert first appears the image is in the correct place (I
assume that the text is ok as well) but a second Alrt is popped up
over the top shortly afterwards and that's when the Error alert goes
funny:

http://giles.roadnight.name/images/AlertOK.gif
 

I would have thought it would be ok to have 2 alerts popped up at the
same time?

Each time you use {} you create a different object, so the two

[flexcoders] Change text color of row of Datagrid based on property

[Paul Steven]

I want to be able to set the text color of all cells in a row of a datagrid
based on a certain property

 

Basically each row represents a students data. One property of a student is
whether or not the student is active or not.

 

So I want to set the text for all non active students to red.

 

Thanks in advance!!

RE: [flexcoders] Passing Application.application.parameters to a Flex component

Your example looks correct.  You can access

I'm working on a Flex application that has a tab navigator component.
To prevent my main MXML file from becoming huge I decided to make
each tab "page" a separate component. The problem I have now is that
one of my Flex components need to have access to
Application.application.parameters. How do I pass this information to
my component, or how do I make this information available to my
component?

= Main MXML file =

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Placement of Image within Image Control

[Alex Harui]

You are welcome to file an ECR for alignment properties or styles, but
keep in mind that in most people's use cases, you don't want to stretch
the Image beyond the size of the bitmap so there might be some play in
one dimension, but not the other.  This is because most of the time, you
want to use the layout rules instead of having things overlap.  I would
also recomment not filling available space with Image in your renderer
either.
 
I asked in the other thread that you post a couple of the swfs so I can
look at them.  I'm now thinking that the content in the swf is not
aligned to topleft.
 
I wish AVM1Movie had timeline APIs too, but like I said, the Player team
chose not to implement interoperability between the two worlds.

I've asked the image control to fill 100% of the available space. So 
if the image is not the same shape as the space, the image winds up 
in an odd spot. I know there are no 9 choices now, and I suspect you 
know a bit more about the Flex team's abilities than I do, but I 
would not consider it outside the range of what they are capable of 
to allow you to choose where the content will reside in the image 
control. Considering how much time and effort they've spent making 
other features user friendly, I'd think that this would be a good use 
of engineering time. After all, they've managed plenty of other 
controls that allow you to select top, middle, bottom, left, center, 
right alignment. It shouldn't be that big a deal to add it to the 
image control.

I wouldn't think the VBox would be able to move the content inside 
the 100% image control, but clearly SOMETHING is moving it. Oddly, 
all the miniature images appear in the same spot in the thumbnail 
renderers. Possibly because there is only one main control that is 
being switched out, whereas each renderer has to present only one 
image.

I think all the swfs I've used for my prototype are the same or 
nearly the same size, so they don't have the same problems as the 
image control. BTW, why doesn't the AVM1 movie object have stop() 
and play() methods at a minimum?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: MultiPurpose ItemRenderer

[Alex Harui]

I suggest your renderer look something like this.  You'll see use of
dataChange and how to center the image.  I don't have a proxy example,
but that's a good topic for a blog article someday...
 
Can you post two image swfs that don't center correctly?  I want to make
sure those swfs are aligned to topleft otherwise this centering code
won't work for you.
 


private var _mediaObject:MediaElement;
 
[Bindable("mediaObjectChanged")]
public function get mediaObject():MediaElement
{
return _mediaObject;
}
 
public function set mediaObject(value:MediaElement):void
{
_mediaObject = value;
dispatchEvent(new Event("mediaObjectChanged");
}
 
private function centerImage():void
{
img.x = (width - img.measuredWidth) / 2;
img.y = ???
}


...

I don't know what this means. I haven't found any documentation that 
refers to this (and believe me I have spent literally hundreds of 
hours combing the Flex documentation). Could you point me to a 
reference so I can get more information?

OK, bear with me as I go through this in pseudocode:

on mediaObjectChange
set img control to 100%
measure content
set img control from 100% to size of content
determine where top left of img control needs to be for img to 
appear centered
set x and y of img

Yes?

Is there an example proxy swf available for download? You know, I 
just realized I probably can't stop these movies anyway, since they 
are nested and the designer forgot to put the stopAllClips() function 
in most of them. Oh, well.

RE: [flexcoders] Honey, my ItemRenderer is fubar!

Subject: [flexcoders] Honey, my ItemRenderer is fubar!



I have a List with a custom item renderer. Each item in the list will
have a slightly different height, and I got this working through the
generous help of Alex and Tracy on this list.

Here's the thing: My app started crashing yesterday, and I traced it
to my set data() method, which is as follows:

override public function set data(value:Object):void {


if ( value != null) {
super.data = value;
var item:FeedItem = value as FeedItem;
if ( item.linkStatus == false ) {
itemTitle.setStyle("fontStyle", "italic");
itemTitle.setStyle("color", 0x99);

itemText.styleName = "brokenLink";
itemSource.styleName = "brokenLink";
} else {
itemTitle.setStyle("fontStyle", "normal");
itemTitle.setStyle("color", 0x33 );

itemText.styleName = "normLink";
itemSource.styleName = "normLink";
}

dispatchEvent( new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE) );
}

The error I get is a #1009 null object reference.

I hadn't wanted to use set data() at all, but I need to display my
items differently based on their linkStatus, and this was not working
when I did it in commitProperties(), where I thought it should go.

In a possibly related issue, what are the guidelines for how much data
a List can display? My dataProvider has 7000+ items, and the list can
toggle between different filtered views of this data. Some of the
views contain a thumbnail image, and when you toggle between a
thumbnail view and a non-thumbnail, it hangs for several seconds. Any
way to optimize this, or is my data set just too big?

Thanks as always,

There is no way to prevent asynchronous loading of images, and
someday, you will be glad for it. I also cant guarantee that is your

why. I would recommend adding trace statements to report the
measuredWidth/Height of the images and see if that is making a
difference. Also make sure youve deployed the correct images to your
server and arent serving thumbnails instead.

Two ways:

}

 

Or

 

function pollServer():void {

//do polling here

}

var pollInterval:uint=null;

function onCreationComplete():void {

pollInterval = setInterval(pollServer,1000);

}

Later when you need to stop polling:

if(pollInterval!=null) { clearInterval(pollInterval); pollInterval=null; }
