[flexcoders] nested viewstack does not initialize in time
I have a simple navigation interface with a navbar on the left, and a content section on the right. The navbar is composed of several main sections (canvases), each of which has several sub sections (a linkbar bound to a viewstack). The content area has a main viewstack with a canvas for each main section, and each of those has a viewstack that is bound to the subsection linkbars in the navbar. The problem is that only the first of the subsection (nested) viewstacks is initialized at runtime. When the user clicks on any section other than the first, that section expands, but is empty, because the linkbar's dataProvider is still null. It's only the second time it's selected that it's displayed. When the nav section is expanded (which could be 1 minute after loading), the dataProvider of the linkbar is still null. Is there some way to force it to initialize all of the nested viewstacks? I tried to do this in Application.creationComplete(), but when I iterated through the main viewstack and attempted to list the child controls of its canvases (there should be 1 viewstack in each), I got an exception because they had 0 children at that point. Any ideas? Here's the app, right-click for source. To see the problem, try clicking on a different section twice. The first time it fails, and the second time it works normally. http://thosmos.com/develop/mockup/bin/darkroom.html T

RE: [flexcoders] nested viewstack does not initialize in time
Thanks Doug. I just found that immediately after sending my email. J What I did is set it to creationPolicy=queued, which seems to get it done fast enough. I assume the reason it's a bad idea is because it's a performance hit at start up, especially since that main viewstack is holding 90% of the stuff of the app, and also because it might instantiate stuff the user never uses? If so, then I think creationPolicy=all or queued will be fine since the app isn't that big, and is basically just a simple status and config console app, and will be run over an intranet. Now that I know what I'm looking for, I'll do some searching for possible negative repercussions of using it.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex is becoming unviable
It there was a way that I could load the modules in the background while the user is doing other things would be great, then it would be there right when I need it. A quick Google search would have shown you that this is possible with modules, by doing ModuleManager.getModule(MyModule.swf).load();, this will load the module but not display it, so when it's time for you to display it it's already been loaded. However the only time you should really do that is if you're sure the user is going to use that module while using your app. One of the most common cases for using modules seems to be when you have sections of your app (e.g. a preferences section) which the user isn't always going to require - so you only load that when they want it. -D
[flexcoders] Best Practices: navigating through content
Hi list,
I'm building an application that will contain a ViewStack with multiple
pages. After some experimenting I'm confused about the best practice for
using the ViewStack as a content holder. I'd like any advice anyone might
have on best practices please.
-- Situation --
I'm loading content via xml: 4 categories with each 50 pages full of content
(text, images, mp3's and pre-CS3 swf's). The user should be able to navigate
through these categories and each category's pages, using fancy transitional
effects, AND be able to use History to go backwards and forwards through the
path using a back/next button.
-- Solutions --
1. I could fill the ViewStack each time the categoryIndex changes with
the amount of pages it has in the xml. That way I can easily navigate
through them. However, when adding an image to each page, the memory begins
to clog up. So I bound the source with an additional condition:
source={(visible) ? model.selectedPage : null}
This works nicely, but now I get the feeling I'm not using the
ViewStack's functionalities correctly. Using this method the ViewStack has
49 invisible page-objects without content and one currently visible with the
correct content in it. Doesn't feel right for some reason.
2. I could add just one Page object to the stage instead of using a
ViewStack and bind model.currentPage to its content. However, this way
I can't use Effects to turn the page, nor States for a History
functionality. So this isn't really an option.
3. I could build my own PageManager that contains 2 pages. One for the
current content and another one to swap with, using an Effect. This manager
should also be able to keep track of States and add them to a custom
HistoryManager. The problem is that this will probably take up a lot of
time, and I'm sure there must be a far easier way using the default
components in Flex.
-- Question --
There must be many more examples around but I can't find the right keywords
to describe the situation. I hope someone has been working on the same
implementation as I am, and is willing to share his (or hers) experience
with me / us all.
Thanks in advance,
Bart Wttewaall
[flexcoders] dataGridColumn width problems
I have a datagrid inside a container that can change width. The DG is 100%
width, it has 4 columns. I would like the last 3
columns to be a specific size while the first column takes up whatever space is
left. Right now, when my DG loads the columns
are almost all the same size, then if you resize the DG making it wider then
smaller the last 3 columns slowly take over the
first column until there is almost nothing left.
At first I tried giving widths to the last 3 columns so they would be set, I
thought this would work just like html tables for
example. That didn't work, so I tried binding (DG.width - the other 3 columns
widths) as the width of the first column but this
causes amazingly slow performance when resizing the DG...you can actually see
the DG columns jumping to catch up with the
resized window, it's really ugly and makes my app feel like it is crawling.
here is an example:
mx:DataGrid id=myDG width=100% height=100% resizableColumns=false
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn minWidth=135 width={myDG.width - 225}/ // 20
extra pixles for scrollbar.
mx:DataGridColumn minWidth=80 width=80 /
mx:DataGridColumn minWidth=90 width=90 /
mx:DataGridColumn minWidth=35 width=35 /
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
I'm not sure what to do here...how come the DGcolumns have min widths but no
max width? I have searched this list and
didn't see any other posts about this problem, does this not effect other
people?
Thanks in advance for your help, this list is awesome.

I think the framework caching is right way to make swf files smaller. But even i know not all apps for flash player not use flex framework i think this 500kb framework file must be loaded not when user try use some flex app, but in stealth like flash player update (i don't know it is possible) but i think this is one way to make swfs file smaller and user don't worry of 500kb dowload. Or maybe break framework in smaller files, and this files loaded and cached in persistent cache on demmand. Or maybe let developers specify what they using and mxmlc compile a new framework file (copy of original and still assigned by adobe for persistent cache) and this new part framework file append of other parts user dowloaded. I don't know if this options are possible, only ideas...

[flexcoders] combobox - setIndex function
This might seem rudimentary to some but others may find it as useful
as I have found.
I do a lot of database work and have found lots of plain silly ways
for setting the selectedIndex value of a combobox but this one is
clean and simple and, most of importantly, it works. I found something
that worked out on the net somewhere and then modified it so I could
pass the name of the combobox and a value. This allows me to reuse the
code easily.
private function setIndex(oCbo:Object,sValue:String):void {
var val:String; val= sValue ;
for (var i: int = 0; i oCbo.dataProvider.length; i++) {
if ( val == oCbo.dataProvider[i].data) {
oCbo.selectedIndex = i;
break;
}
}
}
As you can see, it just grabs the combobox and churns through it
looking for a value to match. Enjoy!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex is becoming unviable
I like the idea of the Flash Player loading the framework RSL in stealth mode piece by piece when the connection is idle. But we really need to know if the user has the RSL. If they do then we know basic apps are down to 200kb to 400kb. Remember, this *is* comparable to HTML websites with graphics. Once loaded a SWF can be much faster due to only grabbing data. Now you must also consider that most users have broadband and 400kb loads in about 5 seconds. So who is your target audience? They may watch as the preloader zooms across once and you spent way too much time worrying about it. You also realize that those still on dial up are used to slowness on the internet. If a user is on dial up every website they go to takes time to load. The difference is that HTML websites start to give you a preview piece by piece of the site. I thought that possibly a scale 9 background image of the complete application can show in the background of the preloader. Give them a preview of what they get if they wait. some thoughts, - SWF's are cached once they are downloaded (users may have initial load time - show custom message) - RSL Framework (already available but no way to check if user has framework cached) - Flash Player stealth mode downloads the RSL framework in the background during idle network time - RSL Framework broken up into smaller chunks - Super compression of swfs??? (how much are they compressed already?) - Preloader application preview image while loading (sort of like the thumbnail for images or videos in explorer) On 10/21/07, danielvlopes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think the framework caching is right way to make swf files smaller.

However the only time you should really do that is if you're sure the user is going to use that module while using your app. One of the most common cases for using modules seems to be when you have sections of your app (e.g. a preferences section) which the user isn't always going to require - so you only load that when they want it. -D
RE: [flexcoders] dataGridColumn width problems
Binding probably won't work. Try setting resizable=false on the last
three columns.

Subject: [flexcoders] dataGridColumn width problems
I have a datagrid inside a container that can change width. The DG is
100% width, it has 4 columns. I would like the last 3
columns to be a specific size while the first column takes up whatever
space is left. Right now, when my DG loads the columns
are almost all the same size, then if you resize the DG making it wider
then smaller the last 3 columns slowly take over the
first column until there is almost nothing left.
At first I tried giving widths to the last 3 columns so they would be
set, I thought this would work just like html tables for
example. That didn't work, so I tried binding (DG.width - the other 3
columns widths) as the width of the first column but this
causes amazingly slow performance when resizing the DG...you can
actually see the DG columns jumping to catch up with the
resized window, it's really ugly and makes my app feel like it is
crawling.
here is an example:
mx:DataGrid id=myDG width=100% height=100%
resizableColumns=false
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn minWidth=135 width={myDG.width - 225}/ // 20
extra pixles for scrollbar.
mx:DataGridColumn minWidth=80 width=80 /
mx:DataGridColumn minWidth=90 width=90 /
mx:DataGridColumn minWidth=35 width=35 /
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
I'm not sure what to do here...how come the DGcolumns have min widths
but no max width? I have searched this list and
didn't see any other posts about this problem, does this not effect
other people?
Thanks in advance for your help, this list is awesome.
