RE: [flexcoders] Re: How do I convert an object to an arrayCollection?
You are basically trying to convert data from one format to another, so
you'll have to loop through all of it.
My previous post contained a rough code for the recommended way of doing
what you did. If you define an actual class with fields, you'll get
much better performance and type-safety at coding time, plus you should
keep your loop limits in a local variable.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How do I convert an object to an
arrayCollection?
I found what appears to be a generic solution to my problem, but I have
a concern about performance. I hope that someone with (as my daughter
would say) some skills can point out the right way of doing this.
My approach is to create a function that will convert any object that
looks like the one in the original post to an ArrayCollection suitable
for use in a DataGrid. Here is what I came up with;
1st Create a dynamic Class like;
package
{
public dynamic class DynamicClass
{
}
}
Next create a function like this;
private function loadArrayCollection(objIn:Object):ArrayCollection
{
var acTmpArray:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
for (var i:Number = 0;i objIn.initialData.length;i++)
{
var clTempClass:DynamicClass = new DynamicClass();
for (var j:Number = 0;j objIn.columnNames.length;j++)
{
clTempClass[objIn.columnNames[j]] =
objIn.initialData[i][j];
}
acTmpArray.addItem(clTempClass);
}
return acTmpArray;
}
Then we call it like this;
[Bindable] public var acPERSON:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection
acPERSON = loadArrayCollection(event.PERSON.serverInfo);
and voila we have an arrayCollection that looks and acts remarkably like
one created from a HTTPService result set. I still have more testing to
make sure I can access all of its properties similar to the way the
HTTPService version works.
OK, now that I am done patting myself on the back, there must be a
better way. It seems to me that this would be slow and resource
intensive, and one of the reasons I want to move towards Fluorine is
performance. Besides it just looks like a kludge.
I am very interested in hearing of better ways of doing this without
resorting to hand coding a class for every query I create.

RE: [flexcoders] Odd setinterval timer error

I had thought that too, but think about it, if you have a script that runs for a minute users are not going to be happy. You need to break that up into smaller parts so that the UI can update and the user doesn't think it's broken.

First, I guess because my Product class is declared as Bindable, I

since other objects that update myProduct shouldn't have to know
where
it is stored.
Second, swapping my mx:Binding with adding a listener on
CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE definitely did the trick, but with
one bad consequence. If somewhere along the way code was written
prodList = new ArrayCollection, it broke. My solution to that was
to
add back the mx:Binding, but when that fires, it simply runs a
function that reestablishes the event listener on
CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE. Now it seems to work no matter
how
I set the list.
Hope that made sense and thanks again.

Re: [flexcoders] Error with htmlText property of TextArea - Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type?
Ok, if you're getting this from an rss feed then you're not going to like
this. Also this solution uses mx_internal. If you don't know what that is,
it's a set of methods/properties, that adobe says may change so they should
be used with extreme care because your code might break on updates.
However, in this case we're using it once to avoid creating a subclass so I
think it's a fair trade.
import mx.core.mx_internal;
use namespace mx_internal; // this line should be right after the import
statements.
...
textArea.htmlText = rssText;
textArea.validateProperties(); // initializes image loaders
var textField:UITextField = textArea.getTextField(); // mx_internal line to
get textField of TextArea
for (each imageID in rssText) { // how you actually implement this psuedo
code line depends on the rssText you already have
var loader:Loader = textField.getImageReference(imageID) as Loader;
var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = loader.contentLoaderInfo;
if (loaderInfo.bytesLoaded != loaderInfo.bytesTotal) { // it would be
pointless to add listeners to loaders that have completed
loaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
imageLoaderErrorListener); // you might want to use weakReference here for
memory management if it works.
}
}

[flexcoders] List change event to BubbleChart

I populate an adjoining List with the name field.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[flexcoders] Tween Motion along a path
At Adobe Max 2007 I went to a session on creating custom components in Flex. The example component used in the session was a custom carousel component where objects would tween along a circular path. The source for this example class was never released, but I am fairly certain that the math for the path was done entirely in Flex, and it was not using a Flash CS3 generated path. The movement was nice and smooth. I'm trying to do my own tweening along a circular path but in a flat 2d manner. I've done all the math in action script 3 to find the circular path but I am having trouble getting objects to move smoothly along the path. Basically I pick a number of points along the path and use Move effects from point to point. The more points I pick the closer it appears to be on a true circle. I've tried both manually kicking off each individual move effect from the effect end event and also putting the move effects in a sequence effect. Both methods cause the motion to be either extremely slow (if I set each move duration to be large) or pretty jerky (if I set the move duration to be very small like 0-2). It appears that there is a pause between the end of each move effect before the next move effect starts. The reason I want to do it all in code is that I want to be able to vary the radius of my circular path dynamically. Anyone have ideas on how I can get smoother motion along my path? Thanks in advance.
Re: [flexcoders] Changing the width to 100%
Hi George,
yeah the width property will only take an integer so you must use the

So something like this would be fine~

{
mainPanel.percentWidth = 100;
}

[flexcoders] POST vs GET vs SEND ...not the same inside Flex
The more I play with this, the more I am convinced that it is acting wrong because of Flex. I am watching the Apache server access.log as the data goes by. And I just can't figure this out. My apologies for the cross-post with Flash-Tiger group but I haven't heard anything and thought it might be more appropriate here if Flex is causing the error. I am working from the example in the Actionscript 3 cookbook chapter 20.13 trying to learn how to properly send XML data to a server-side script. I have tried this a couple ways but haven't been able to get past xml parsing errors with the basic HTTPService send. And to compound matters, I am trying to learn Flex at the same time. This code is from chapter 20.13 but to get any data to pass I have to switch it from a .POST to a .GET. From what I have read, the .POST is the right way. Has anybody been through this? Any advice greatly appreciated. var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( /saveResults.php ); // Set the data property to the dataToSave XML instance to send the XML // data to the server request.data= dataToSave; // Set the contentType to signal XML data being sent request.contentType = text/xml; // Use the post method to send the data request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; // Create a URLLoader to handle sending and loading of the XML data var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( ); // When the server response is finished downloading, invoke handleResponse loader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, handleResponse ); // Finally, send off the XML data to the URL loader.load( request ); } Thanks, Imogene

to the component. This is working except that before the first effect
plays, the child indexes/z-order get all screwed up. Since I'm using a
ControlBar\HBox, this looks as if the children are randomly switching places
before the transition. Anyone have any idea what's going on here? (Moxie

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to set Script time limit in Flex 2 (or 3)?
I also have a use case that makes this limit very hurtful. Setting a 60 second limit because you think that users might be unhappy arrogantly assumes you know what my app is doing. What if FlexBuilder blew up anytime your project took longer than 60 seconds to compile? Would you be happy? That is analogous to what I am doing, which is generating very complex code. Theoretically, perhaps, this generation should be done on the server, but it would take me 10 weeks to reimplement my logic in some other language. So my one client that has this massively complicated application is stuck at FP7 (for my admin IDE, anyway ) until I can find 10 spare weeks.

Subject: [flexcoders] POST vs GET vs SEND ...not the same inside Flex
The more I play with this, the more I am convinced that it is acting
wrong because of Flex. I am watching the Apache server access.log as
the data goes by. And I just can't figure this out. My apologies for
the cross-post with Flash-Tiger group but I haven't heard anything and
thought it might be more appropriate here if Flex is causing the error.
I am working from the example in the Actionscript 3 cookbook chapter
20.13 trying to learn how to properly send XML data to a server-side
script. I have tried this a couple ways but haven't been able to get
past xml parsing errors with the basic HTTPService send. And to
compound matters, I am trying to learn Flex at the same time.
This code is from chapter 20.13 but to get any data to pass I have to
switch it from a .POST to a .GET. From what I have read, the .POST is
the right way. Has anybody been through this? Any advice greatly
appreciated.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( /saveResults.php );
// Set the data property to the dataToSave XML instance to send
the XML
// data to the server
request.data= dataToSave;
// Set the contentType to signal XML data being sent
request.contentType = text/xml;
// Use the post method to send the data
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
// Create a URLLoader to handle sending and loading of the XML data
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( );
// When the server response is finished downloading, invoke
handleResponse
loader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, handleResponse );
// Finally, send off the XML data to the URL
loader.load( request );
}

[flexcoders] FileReference upload passing parameters in URLRequest
Hi all,
I'm having this strange problem while uploading file in flex using
FileReference, that even though I set the the request attribute on the
flex side, and I verified that before I call fileRef.upload, the
URLRequest object has all the attributes I set in its data property.
But when the request arrived on the java servlet side, the
httprequest contains no attributes at all. Below is the code snippet
that I'm using to perform the upload, this processUpload method is
called after the user has browsed for a file, then hit upload so I'm
only registering the COMPLETE event here. fileRef is a global
variable of type FileReference in the enclosing file.
private function processUpload(func:Function):void
{
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, func);
var request:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(FileImportConfigurationSource.HOST_PORT_CONTEXT +
/FileUploadServlet);
var params:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
//Read file header data from UI input
var client:FIClient = clientList.selectedItem as FIClient;
var mnemonic:String = mnemonicList.selectedLabel;
uploadFileId = UIDUtil.createUID().toString();
params.uploadFileId = uploadFileId;
params.transmissionId = testing;
request.data = params;
fileRef.upload(request);
}
Anyone spot any wrongdoing in the above code? Thanks.

[flexcoders] Binding to a subclass of a proxy object
Hi,
Here's what I'm trying to do. Load in an xml file, assign this to a
settings singleton which extends flash_proxy and then bind to these
properties.
Essentially:
public function setupXMLProxy( contentToProxy:XML ):void {
logger.debug( setupXMLProxy() called. )
var content:XML = contentToProxy;
for each( var node:XML in content.Text ) {
logger.debug(node: + [EMAIL PROTECTED] + == + node);
this[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] = node ;
}
}
The singleton proxy now has a bunch of variabels that can be referenced
like
var myProp:String = LocaleMgr.getInstance().propertyFromXML
Which retrieves the translations.
This works.
What doesnt work is binding to these properties from other mxml files.
My binding method in the singleton is the following:
public function bind( object:Object, propertyName:String, param:String =
text ):void {
var w:ChangeWatcher =
ChangeWatcher.watch(LocaleMgr.getInstance(), propertyName, null, false);
if (w != null)
{
var assign:Function = function(event:*):void
{
object[param] = w.getValue();
};
w.setHandler(assign);
assign(null);
}
}
Basically I took the code from BindingUtils and stuck it in my static
instance.
This works for a single property, but it does not work automatically if
I assign a property to the static instance.
There is no updating occurring unless I directly reset the binding which
defeats the purpose.
Anyone have any bright ideas on this?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Trigger a function in the main applicatoin mxml from a popup window.
I guess you would have to consider coupling.
You could have your mainApp register as a listener to your popup.
dispatch an event from your popup that triggers the method in your
mainApp view.
I guess you could also register your mainApp as a 'mediator' of your
component popup.
Normally i would use an MVC architecture and my currentState would be
bound to a property on the model.

Re: [flexcoders] Tween Motion along a path
For starters, the presentation you're referring from Michael Labriola to was
just posted online: http://blogs.digitalpri
mates.net/codeSlinger/index.cfm/2007/10/28/Max-Presentation
The basic idea that I think makes sense for you to approach the problem with
is that you want a function that lays out all your items for any given
rotation of the circle. This function doesn't do anything in terms of
animating. All it does is lays out your items given a particular rotation of
your circle. So if you have a method like:
function layoutItems(angle:Number):void {
//layout all your items here for the given angle passed in
}
then you just make sure to call that function whenever you change the
rotation of your circle. You can make that happen in a setter for a property
on your class, and then you can tween that property. Not sure if that's all
making sense. Take a look at the code from the MAX preso in the link above.
You'll see a setter for a property called currentPosition. That setter calls
invalidateDisplayList(), and in updateDisplayist he's got the code that
moves all the items to their proper positions given whatever currentPosition
has been set to.
Then what he does is tweens the currentPosition property. So he doesn't have
to have a bazillion tweens running for each of his items. He tweens a single
property, and then when that property gets set, he makes sure to re-layout
the items.
If you want to go completely overboard and learn how to do crazy stuff with
animating on paths (in 2D and in 3D) then you can read up on Jim Armstrong's
blog: http://algorithmist.wordpress.com He has tons of stuff about animating
along curves and gets into the crazy math you need. That's overkill for what
you're trying to do, but worth checking out.

Should be more complete descriptions in the docs.
any idea why there is no formal Map object in AS3
Nope. Maybe ECMAScript doesn't support them? Just guessing.

If changeState() was public you could call

Thanks for taking your time to respond, Bjorn.
I am triggering a function called submitData() from the click event of
my button inside the popup window.
private function submitData():void{
mainApp.currentState.name = secondState;
}
This doesnt seem to accomplish what I wish for (of changing the state
of my mainApp.mxml)
How is that I can access a function from my main application mxml,
for example: changeState().
private function changeState():void{
currentState = secondState;
}
Please excuse my ignorance. Could you let me know what I am missing?
Thank you.

Hi,
This might be a really petty question to ask, but I will greatly

How can I trigger a function in my main application mxml, from a

trying to
change the state of my main application by clicking the submit

Thank you,

Re: [flexcoders] FileReference upload passing parameters in URLRequest
Note sure, but you might need to set the method in URLRequest.
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

Hi all,
I'm having this strange problem while uploading file in flex using
FileReference, that even though I set the the request attribute on the
flex side, and I verified that before I call fileRef.upload, the
URLRequest object has all the attributes I set in its data property.
But when the request arrived on the java servlet side, the
httprequest contains no attributes at all. Below is the code snippet
that I'm using to perform the upload, this processUpload method is
called after the user has browsed for a file, then hit upload so I'm
only registering the COMPLETE event here. fileRef is a global
variable of type FileReference in the enclosing file.
private function processUpload(func:Function):void
{
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, func);
var request:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(FileImportConfigurationSource.HOST_PORT_CONTEXT +
/FileUploadServlet);
var params:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
//Read file header data from UI input
var client:FIClient = clientList.selectedItem as FIClient;
var mnemonic:String = mnemonicList.selectedLabel;
uploadFileId = UIDUtil.createUID().toString();
params.uploadFileId = uploadFileId;
params.transmissionId = testing;
request.data = params;
fileRef.upload(request);
}
Anyone spot any wrongdoing in the above code? Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] crossdomain.xml... real or not-so-real security?

Yup! To avoid that you can load the image in other loader and swap it once it's loaded...Something like double-buffering.. -abdul On 10/29/07, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Image loading is asynchronous and could take any number of frames on a slow network. -- *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *icykorpio *Sent:* Sunday, October 28, 2007 8:03 AM *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com *Subject:* [flexcoders] Re: removechild and addchild cause flickering , help~ i find only the first time i do the switch, the flicker appear. seems any UIComponent the first time be drawn needs two frames to show up. -- -abdul --- http://abdulqabiz.com/blog/ ---
Re: [flexcoders] JS - How to send a byteArray using HTTPService??
Note sure, if HTTPService allows anything beyond text You can use
URLLoader to send the data to server..

Hello All,
I need to do a screen capture of a UIComponenet and allow the user to save

so I can get the BitmapData ( this example is using SDK 2). What I don't
see how to do is send this to the server. I am trying this:
//get the data
var exportImage:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100,100);
exportImage.draw(UIComponenet_name);
var outData:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
outData.readBytes(exportImage.getPixels(new Rectangle(0,0,100,100)));
var sendImage:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
sendImage.method = POST;
sendImage.url = http://www.host.com/serverSave.php;;
sendImage.send({HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA:outData.writeBytes(outData), name:'
image.png'});
This is not working and it is only a guess. How can I send the data or
is it possibile to do this as a POST??
Thanks,
