Hi All,

 i am creating a rss reader for which i am using
TextArea to display RSS description which is simple html text.
Sometimes i am getting this error:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent: . text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an 
unknown type


I have also put a try and catch but it is not getting caught. Also, TextArea 
does not have any IOErrorEvent event. I think it is due to loading of images 
from "img", it comes very randomly. Can anyone help me with this problem?

[flexcoders] framerate bug of flex.

[icykorpio]

hi everyone,

many times I encounter this kind of situation.

when I change the framerate to a higher number, say 60. there is some 
flicker on some graphics code(ex: switch image etc.). however, if I low 
the framerate to 10-30. everything is smooth.

I guess if I set the framerate to a number the CPU can't catch up, flex 
will do some special things. I dunno.

Any ideas?

Regards
icykorpio

[flexcoders] Getting Debugger window when running flex application

[essuark]

I just installed the latest beta. When I run (clicking the play button 
NOT the debug button), I get the dialog box that says "Where is the 
debugger or host application running?" with radio buttons saying 
localhost or other machine. Actually debugging in debugging mode works 
fine, just not normally running the application through the IDE. Has 
anyone seen this? 

thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to set "Script time limit" in Flex 2 (or 3)?

[Paul Decoursey]

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.  In fact I like the default of 15 seconds,  
it helps me to regulate myself so I don't have long periods of  
"what's going on?"...

Re: [flexcoders] Getting Debugger window when running flex application

[Paul Decoursey]

I think that this is because the beta player installs to a different  
file than the official release.  I think that flex is checking for  
the official release and doesn't find it.  I don't think there is a  
way to turn off this warning, at least I haven't found one.  I've  
reverted back to the official release anyway, I didn't want to  
develop against something that we didn't know when it would be released.

[flexcoders] Changing the width to 100%

[George Georgiou]

Hi there,

This is a very simple but I can't get it work. I have a panel and I want to
change it's with to 100% by means of ActionScript. Here's what I do:

 public function changeWidth():void {
 mainPanel.width = 100%;
}

where mainPanel if of course the ID of my panel.

I get an error like:  semicolon is unexpected. I have tried using
mainPanel.width="100%"; but this does not work also because .width is of
type integer.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

thanks,
George

[flexcoders] removechild and addchild cause flickering , help~

[icykorpio]

hi ,

here is the simple code 

var image1:Image;
var image2:Image;

public function init():void
{
image1 = new Image();
image1.x = image1.y = 0;
image1.width = image1.height = 200;

image1.source = "U:\\6.jpg";

image2 = new Image();
image2.source = "U:\\5.jpg";
image2.x = image2.y = 0;
image2.width = image2.height = 200;

this.addChild(image1);

}

public function onclick(event:Event):void
{
this.removeChild(image1);
this.addChild(image2);
}

when i click the button to switch the two image, handled bythe 
onclick function. I will notice a very anoying flickering.

so i can't remove and add child in one frame?

how the redraw system works...

Thanks for any info.

Best regards
yinan

[flexcoders] Re: How to set "Script time limit" in Flex 2 (or 3)?

[icykorpio]

give ppl a real case,

before i wrote a software which contain the swf by c++.

and people can click button in flex to command c++ wrapper pop up a 
windows system file dialog. but if user doesn't choose a file in 15 
seconds. flex consider the script time out!

any thing through ExternalInterface all the same fate!


Adobe really needs to change this bad idea.

[flexcoders] Re: removechild and addchild cause flickering , help~

[icykorpio]

by flickering, i mean there is a time between the change, the 
background show up. then the second iamge appear.

[flexcoders] Re: removechild and addchild cause flickering , help~

[icykorpio]

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.

Re: [flexcoders] Error with htmlText property of TextArea - "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type"?

[Daniel Freiman]

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.
   }
}

public function imageLoaderErrorListener(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
   // inform user if you want.
}

[flexcoders] List change event to BubbleChart

[picklzzz]

I'm a newbie and have, what I think is, a simple task:

I have a BubbleChart populated from an ArrayCollection consisting
of fields "name", "x", "y", and "size". I populate an adjoining List
with the "name" field. I would like to be able to select on, possibly
multiple, names in the List and have the bubble in the bubblechart get
highlighted (perhaps by glowing or having the other bubbles alpha value
increase so they aren't as prominent)

I can't figure out whether a filter is necessary (I already have another
filter for my arraycollection) or there's another way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[flexcoders] Tween Motion along a path

[snowjunkie73]

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%

[Bailey]

Hi George,
yeah the width property will only take an integer so you must use the
percentProperty to set a percent.
So something like this would be fine~

public function changeWidth():void
{
 mainPanel.percentWidth = 100;
}

[flexcoders] POST vs GET vs SEND ...not the same inside Flex

[i.yoho]

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,

[flexcoders] Transition changing z-order before transition effect starts

[Daniel Freiman]

I'm working with transitions. I'm trying apply an effect to a component,
then removing children, replacing children, and then applying another effect
to the component.  This is working except that before the first effect

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to set "Script time limit" in Flex 2 (or 3)?

[Tracy Spratt]

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.

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. In fact I like the default of 15 seconds, 
it helps me to regulate myself so I don't have long periods of 
"what's going on?"...

RE: [flexcoders] POST vs GET vs SEND ...not the same inside Flex

Use HTTPService.  Don't mess with contentType, but send your xml as a

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

[letterpigeon]

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

[Austin Kottke]

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?

that the math for the path was done entirely in Flex, and it was not

I'm trying to do my own tweening along a circular path but in a flat

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] Re: Trigger a function in the main applicatoin mxml from a popup window.

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

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

[Doug McCune]

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.

it's loaded...Something like double-buffering..

[flexcoders] How do I pause

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

My movie changes states when the user hits a button, but I want it to 
pause for 5 seconds. How do I do that ? I see something about pausing a 
sequence in the documentation. do I have to create a sequence first ?
