RE: [flexcoders] Vertical scrolling without horizontal scrolling? How do I make 100% == 100% of available width?

[Alex Harui]

I think you want the content to use 100% but have minWidth=0.  You're
hitting an obscure 'rule' of flex that we don't shrink containers when
they decide to put up scrollbars else it could propagate scrollbars down
to its children.  Also, if or when you know you want scrollbars,
changing the policy to "on" will factor the scrollbars into the layout.
minWidth usually solves it though.

The content is set up to be in some cases 100%, otherwise it's
anchored to top/bottom/sides.

If I have the container (vbox) anchored to the bottom of the
application, or no height specifcation at all, or any %, it simply
grows out and i get the dual scrollbars. If i specify a pixel height,
the container itself gets a scrollbar and everything works fine. Is
there no way to have a container that has an "anchored to the
application" minimum size, but will scroll internally if it needs to?
I imagine setting the height to a pixel size when the application
detects a resize would achieve the results I'm after, but that's
awfully kludgey.

I feel like I'm trying to do CSS-based design in HTML :-/

[Alex Harui]

Does the content need to fill the width of the container?  If it does, I
think you'll always get an hbar since even narrowing it would obscure
content.

 

Otherwise, try setting minWidth=0 on the content items and maybe the
container as well.

[flexcoders] DataServices HIbernate and Interceptors

[Kevin]

Does anyone know OR has anyone has success using Interceptors with  
DataSevices and Hibernate.  Specifically we want to be able to modify  
data as we are sending it through to Hibernate and do not know how  
that will affect our DataServices framework and data pushing.

This also begs the questions, how does DataServices deal with changes  
made to the database from outside the Flex client (but within  
Hibernate).  For example, is there a way to use our Flex session in  
Java to make a HIbernate call that will get reflected in the Flex  
clients.  If there is any information on these subjects feel free to  
send some URLs.  We have had trouble finding info on this.

Thanks for help with these questions.

Ah, that is the problem.  Packages and 
namespaces are really compile-time things.  You 
don’t use them in run-time references.  Instead,

There are several ways to reach “up” the 
dom.  One is application.application.  You use 
the id of your instantiated component to 
reference its public members.  So one way to do what you want is::


Import mx.core.Application;

…

private var _app:Application

…

_app = Application.application;

user = _app.loginpanel1.user



below are some additional notes on traversing the DOM.

Tracy



Communicating between Components:



Note: for "loose coupling" use events.  But that is another topic.



A non-trivial flex application is "component" 
based. While all of the built in controls are 
components, the question of communicating 
between components really only arises when you 
are using a custom component. A custom 
component, whether implemented in mxml or 
ActionScript, has its own "scope". Within that 
component (Application is a component too!), all 
sibling child controls share the same scope, so 
you can refer to controls by their id.  If the 
controls(components) have public properties or 
methods, you can refernce those members directly through the id:








Ok, so far, its a "duh" right?



When you use custom components in a Flex app, at 
run time they make a document object model 
hierarchy (DOM).  Each subcomponent has its own 
scope and can't *directly* reference the member 
properties or methods of its sibling subcomponents.




So again, within a component, you can refernce 
siblings directly, as in the example above.  But 
there are two other cases inherent in a 
hierarchy.  You might want to reference "up", to 
get to public members of the parent, or 'down", 
to get to public members of some child.




Accessing members in the parent:

On an ordinary component DOM, you can reference 
the parent component using the .parent 
property.  Say that a control with 
id="textinput1" exists in the parent of the 
current component.  then you could do:






Accessing members in the main application:

Components can be nested, sometimes very 
deeply.  If the reference you want is all the 
way at the top-level, main application (the one 
with the  tag), you could do 
{parent.parent.parent.textinput1.text}, but you 
would have to count the component levels just 
right.  Instead, you can use Application.application to get to that scope:


text="{Application.application.textinput1.text}" .../>


You can shoretn this style of reference by 
importing mx.core.Application, and assigning 
Application.application to a variable, like 
_app, the doing (_app.textinput1.text)




Accessing members of a child component:

Say that in this case, a child component has the 
TextInput control you want to reference.  First, 
make sure the child component has an id:




Then, in the same scope (the same component/file 
that contains as the tag above) you can say:






Accessing a nested component:

As mentioned above you can go "up" the hierarchy 
using "parent.parent...".  You can als go "down" 
the hirearchy using id references:


text="{mycc1.mycc11.mycc.12.textinput1.text}" .../>




Additional notes:

If you are using SWFLoader to load an entire 
Application, you can reference the immediate 
parent application using "parentDocument".  You 
can also use Application.application to reach the main app, as shown above.




Accessing members of an application loaded by 
SWFLoader is a bit more complicated.  See the example here:

Yes Tracy  both of my 2 mxml (A and B) are in 
a  directory   /comps and both have this:


xmlns:comps="comps.*"

namespace reference. Maybe I missed something 
but it sounds correct as Flex code hinting lists 
me all my components as soon as I type down 'comps'.


LoginPanel was instanciated in a state of Main.mxml (the Application)

[flexcoders] Suggestion needed for managing multiple properties

[nwebb]

Hi,

I have an interface comprising of several tabs which are individually
enabled/disabled depending on the state of the application.

Currently tab-state depends on various properties. For example...

* is there a selected entity
* is searchMode enabled
* is the selectedEntity in state 1, 2 or 3 (...assuming there is a
selectedEntity)

As you can imagine, a tab's enabled state can depend on combinations
of the above properties, and combinations can change multiple tabs -
e.g.
if (searchModeEnabled && entityState==3){
  enableSearchTab();
  disableDetailsTab();
}else if ...


To get everything up and running quickly I used nested conditional
statements which is just about maintainable, but now it's time to
refactor and I'm looking for the cleanest possible way to manage this.
Perhaps there is a design pattern someone can recommend which is
suited to this kind of management, else perhaps someone can offer some
general guidelines.
I have come up with a few possibilities but none that I am completely
satisfied with so I'm looking for some help.

Cheers

Re: [flexcoders] cairngorm design question , need suggestions

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

Hi Yigit,

To execute commanderB from commanderA you need to dispatch eventB  
from commanderA.
You can either pass the instance as an argument of eventB or  
reference via the model in commandB.



regards,

Bjorn



On 14/11/2007, at 9:44 AM, yigit boyar wrote:


hi all;
we have a GUI built with flex using cairngorm microarchitechture.
the GUI is quite complex, and there is an xml schema (xsd) that
represents the VO structure.
We prepared a code generator(using AIR) which parses the xsd and  
creates

vo's,commanders,events,model&frontcontroller, so we just handcode the
view. (Vo's are serializable to XML and deserializable from XML , all
auto generated -sth like jaxb of java- )

the GUI was good for version1 but the XSD had to change a lot and  
we had

to insert hand written code into commaders and we started to have
performance issues.

now there is a new XSD, GUI will be recreated and we want to  
upgrade our

code generator to support the changes (more clever commanders & more
specific events!); so here comes my design question :

every class has it's own commander. and sometimes, when an event is
being executed, another commander should also work(sth more must be
done), and there is a specific event for that operation too.
(e.g. deletion of an instance of class A requires the update of the
instances of class B )
in this situation,
1 should commanderA dispatch an event to update class B instance
or
2 should commanderA call commanderB's execute function with the
needed event as argument
or
3 should commarderA edit B vo's . (we don't prefer this cuz it
violates the generic style of our code & cairngorm)

the second option is more efficient since it does not need to dispatch
the event and wait for it to be caught; but we wonder whether it
violates the cairngorm design pattern rules.

this is a really important project, so we'll be very pleased by taking
your comments.

[flexcoders] cairngorm design question , need suggestions

[yigit boyar]

hi all;
we have a GUI built with flex using cairngorm microarchitechture.
the GUI is quite complex, and there is an xml schema (xsd) that 
represents the VO structure.
We prepared a code generator(using AIR) which parses the xsd and creates 
vo's,commanders,events,model&frontcontroller, so we just handcode the 
view. (Vo's are serializable to XML and deserializable from XML , all 
auto generated -sth like jaxb of java- )

the GUI was good for version1 but the XSD had to change a lot and we had 
to insert hand written code into commaders and we started to have 
performance issues.

now there is a new XSD, GUI will be recreated and we want to upgrade our 
code generator to support the changes (more clever commanders & more 
specific events!); so here comes my design question :

every class has it's own commander. and sometimes, when an event is 
being executed, another commander should also work(sth more must be 
done), and there is a specific event for that operation too.
(e.g. deletion of an instance of class A requires the update of the 
instances of class B )
in this situation,
1 should commanderA dispatch an event to update class B instance
or
2 should commanderA call commanderB's execute function with the 
needed event as argument
or
3 should commarderA edit B vo's . (we don't prefer this cuz it 
violates the generic style of our code & cairngorm)

the second option is more efficient since it does not need to dispatch 
the event and wait for it to be caught; but we wonder whether it 
violates the cairngorm design pattern rules.

this is a really important project, so we'll be very pleased by taking 
your comments.

Subject: [flexcoders] Editable data in data grid too easily edited

 

IMO it is too easy to get into "edit" mode on an editable DataGrid or 
AdvancedDataGrid. For instance, if I am just selecting a row that was 
not previously selected it would be great if it did not invoke the 
editor until I clicked in the editable column again. This is 
particularly problematic in the AdvancedDataGrid if the first column 
(tree column) is editable. In this case even expanding/contracting the 
tree node puts the user into edit mode on the data in the first column 
of that row.

I am guessing that I would need to extend DataGrid, AdvancedDataGrid and

possibly also provide a custom itemEditor to resolve this issue. But 
wanted to hear if others had suggestions for the cleanest solution.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Scott

Lastest Flex 3. I think it looks like a bug and I don't know how could 
avoid it. (I noticed simliar RTE met by colleagues so I test myself.)

I have an editable DG, say it has focusInHandler, itemBeginHandler, 
itemEndHandler. It has no any problem when I test back and forth. But 
occasionally I find a problem.

When the DG don't have any items, click it, then move mouse out of 
browser (so browser lost focus), and then go back and click that DG 
again. I got RTE all the time:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

I don't understand where's the problem. I tried to track handlers but 
none of them received an event at time of RTE.

Any help appreciated.

Subject: [flexcoders] Loading *existing* modules into a ModuleLoader

 

I have a fringe use case here, and I think it may be a simple fix but
I'm a little stumped.

I have a shell Flex application loading modules via ModuleLoader. When
a module is instantiated I also add a reference to it in a ViewLocator
class (singleton) containing a hash map. For instance, when Module1 is
loaded, the constructor for Module1's code-behind class (Module1Base)
references the ViewLocator, like so:

class Module1Base
{
public function Module1Base()
{
// some code
ViewLocator.getInstance().addView(this);
}
.
.
.
}

There is a case where I am loading additional modules into the same
ModuleLoader that Module1 occupies. For instance, I want to load
Module2 into said ModuleLoader. Subsequently, I will want to load
Module1 back into the aforementioned ModuleLoader. I am having
difficulty figuring this part out. I am attempting to set the
ModuleLoader's child property to the existing reference in the
ViewLocator, like so:

// after Module1 was loaded, then another module (e.g. Module2)
// then back to Module1
m = moduleLoaderInMainApp;

m.child =
ViewLocator.getInstance().getView(getQualifiedClassName(Module1));

Does anyone have any idea if this can be done, or how to do it?

[flexcoders] Item Renderer Not Updating

[Geoffrey]

I have a List that is bound to an ArrayCollection.  If I programaticly
update the ArrayCollection, the itemRenderer fails to update as well.




__resourceModel.userSummaries is an ArrayCollection of
ResourceItemModels which looks like:
public class ResourceItemModel implements ModelLocator
{
public var username:String;
public var firstName:String;
public var lastName:String;
// These are used by an itemRenderer
public var label:String;
public var selected:Boolean;

}


The List is a list of CheckBoxes with the username as the label.  When
someone selects one of the CheckBoxes, it go off and sets the
'selected' property of the specific ResourceItemModel to true.  This
part works just fine.

After a certain user gesture, I want to set all selections back to
false, then reselect any CheckBox selections that may have existed. 
This information comes from another model.  The resetting of the
CheckBoxes is in a loop that does:
ResourceItemModel(userSummaries[i]).selected = false;

This properly sets the models selected property to false, but the view
does not update (ie. the CheckBox is still selected).


How do I update the itemRender after I programmaticly update the
dataProvider?

Thanks,
Geoff

[flexcoders] Rotated headings

[Richard Rodseth]

I'm trying to do some rotated column headings using a repeater (or

way to deal with this?

Application dispatches and ErrorEvent every time an error is thrown anywhere

[flexcoders] Datagrid and data from service

[pulp_on_air]

Hi,
I got problems getting a datagrid to work with an array of objects
received via service. 
The data is generate by amfphp. From php it looks like this 

array (
 [1] => object (
   ... //plain properties
 )
 
 [2] => object (
   ... //plain properties
 ) 
 
)


Note that it starts at 1! If i add a [0] dummy entry in php it works
if i dont i just get 2 colums side by side saying "object".

This is what the Debugger gave me :

Object (
 [1] => object (
   ... //plain properties
 )
 
 [2] => object (
   ... //plain properties
 ) 
)

BTW: i am using flex 3 beta 2.
Cheers,
Nikolas

RE: [flexcoders] Want to call a function from custom component on button click...

[Tracy Spratt]

You need to traverse the run-time DOM to access members in different
component scopes.

 

Se the notes below.

Tracy

 

Communicating between Components:

 

Note: for "loose coupling" use events.  But that is another topic.

 

A non-trivial flex application is "component" based. While all of the
built in controls are components, the question of communicating between
components really only arises when you are using a custom component. A
custom component, whether implemented in mxml or ActionScript, has its
own "scope". Within that component (Application is a component too!),
all sibling child controls share the same scope, so you can refer to
controls by their id.  If the controls(components) have public
properties or methods, you can refernce those members directly through
the id:





 

Ok, so far, its a "duh" right?

 

When you use custom components in a Flex app, at run time they make a
document object model hierarchy (DOM).  Each subcomponent has its own
scope and can't *directly* reference the member properties or methods of
its sibling subcomponents.

 

So again, within a component, you can refernce siblings directly, as in
the example above.  But there are two other cases inherent in a
hierarchy.  You might want to reference "up", to get to public members
of the parent, or 'down", to get to public members of some child.

 

Accessing members in the parent:

On an ordinary component DOM, you can reference the parent component
using the .parent property.  Say that a control with id="textinput1"
exists in the parent of the current component.  then you could do:



 

Accessing members in the main application:

Components can be nested, sometimes very deeply.  If the reference you
want is all the way at the top-level, main application (the one with the
 tag), you could do
{parent.parent.parent.textinput1.text}, but you would have to count the
component levels just right.  Instead, you can use
Application.application to get to that scope:



You can shoretn this style of reference by importing
mx.core.Application, and assigning Application.application to a
variable, like _app, the doing (_app.textinput1.text)

 

Accessing members of a child component:

Say that in this case, a child component has the TextInput control you
want to reference.  First, make sure the child component has an id:



Then, in the same scope (the same component/file that contains as the
tag above) you can say:



 

Accessing a nested component:

As mentioned above you can go "up" the hierarchy using
"parent.parent...".  You can als go "down" the hirearchy using id
references:



 

Additional notes:

If you are using SWFLoader to load an entire Application, you can
reference the immediate parent application using "parentDocument".  You
can also use Application.application to reach the main app, as shown
above.

 

Accessing members of an application loaded by SWFLoader is a bit more
complicated.  See the example here:

http://www.cflex.net/showFileDetails.cfm?ObjectID=690

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid not populating from WebService, error: Unknown Property

[Brian]

I started a new thread to continue this issue because I had gotten
past the 'Unknown Property' error with the handlers. I wanted the new
thread to be more specific to the problem, which has evolved into
DataGrid not populating from XMLListCollection and namespace issues. 

Here's the new thread:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/93492

The 'OrdMedList' node is there in the original post. But a quick
answer to your question, here's what the structure looks like, w/out
the namespaces:


  
5
tylenol
  
  
97
advil
  
  ...


This is the output of the trace() on my XMLListCollection. I also
implemented a labelFunction to try to deal with the namespace issue,
and found a weird result: there are 10 OrdMed nodes in my list, but
the length of OrdMedList is 1 and the labelFunction is invoked 4
times, 2 each for id and desc.

RE: [flexcoders] reference a class instance from another mxml

[Tracy Spratt]

Ah, that is the problem.  Packages and namespaces are really
compile-time things.  You don't use them in run-time references.
Instead, you want to use the run-time DOM.

 

There are several ways to reach "up" the dom.  One is
application.application.  You use the id of your instantiated component
to reference its public members.  So one way to do what you want is::

Import mx.core.Application;

...

private var _app:Application

...

_app = Application.application;

user = _app.loginpanel1.user

 

below are some additional notes on traversing the DOM.

Yes Tracy  both of my 2 mxml (A and B) are in a  directory   /comps and
both have this:

namespace reference. Maybe I missed something but it sounds correct as
Flex code hinting lists me all my components as soon as I type down

Here's Main.mxml:

Re: [flexcoders] internet Explorer 7 cache problem

[Stephen Allison]

Hello,
It's the cache-control headers on the response from the server that  
determine whether or not the browser caches the XML.
You can set them programatically or by configuring your web server to  
add the headers to the response it sends back to the Flex  
application.  Exactly what you need to do will depend on your choice  
of web server and server side programming environment.

[flexcoders] Connecting to flash display from html code and extracting params

[s_tibrewal]

Hello Folks,

Having heard a lot about it I am just trying out using Flex/Flash on a
web app and have run into a problem.

I am playing a video in Flash and when I click an html button
(GetElapsedTime) on different part of the page, outside of Flash
window, I want to go to Flash playing the video and find out the
elapsed time of video played. So if I have played 3 minutes and 59
seconds of video I want to get that. 

I have browsed around the Flex tutorials and newsgroups, looked in
ActionScript but from what I understand all those actions are for
events going out of Flex - apologies if I am mixing up the terminology
between Flex and Flash here. I can't find a way to connect to the
flash player and get the elapsed time. Perhaps I am not looking at it
the right way.

It sounds like when I click the button GetElapsedTime it has to fire
some JavaScript that should somehow connect to the Flash player and
extract the elapsed time out of it. Any thoughts on how to do that
will be helpful.

TIA,
Sanjay.

that is great that u figured it out, kinda sucks for me as i will have many
different applications (and the list is growing) that have the same name and
that is another step to manage it all

but maybe it's a good time to re-think that model :).

[flexcoders] Multiple filter criteria in DataGrid

[Mr Greg Murnock]

I have a DG populated by an AC.  I want to filter the DG with any number of 
selection criteria, up to 4 plus between dates.  I can get one of the 
item=selected to work but not more than one.  
Is this where I need to have a big nested IF statement with a bunch of boolean 
expressions to accommodate 5 different iterations of fields?  Any help much 
appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid not populating from XMLListCollection - namespace issue?

[ben.clinkinbeard]

Hi Brian,

These days I usually want to end up with strongly typed objects, so I
generally implement my VO classes so that they accept XML in their
constructor. I pass the XML node to the constructor, throw a "use
namespace" in there and then grab the properties I need from the XML.

I suppose I should say the problem I have, that might help:

 

If I have a component that is 100x100, I want to display it's contents
scaled down by 50%. So I set the scaleX & scaleY properties to 0.50. The
trouble is, when I view my container, it is now 50x50. I can see why
it's done that, but really I was hoping to just scale the contents - not
the container itself (the scrollbars are also 50% scaled).

Hi, I have a custom container which is based on the Canvas control. It
just displays other custom controls that are also based on Canvas. If I
wanted to do a thumbnail preview of the main container, how do I go
about scaling everything? For instance, if the main container displays
at 800x600, how can I scale it down into a control 80x60?

(I'm assuming there is something built in to flex to do most of this
without manually writing scaling code?)

Subject: [flexcoders] Editable data in data grid too easily edited

 

IMO it is too easy to get into "edit" mode on an editable DataGrid or 
AdvancedDataGrid. For instance, if I am just selecting a row that was 
not previously selected it would be great if it did not invoke the 
editor until I clicked in the editable column again. This is 
particularly problematic in the AdvancedDataGrid if the first column 
(tree column) is editable. In this case even expanding/contracting the 
tree node puts the user into edit mode on the data in the first column 
of that row.

I am guessing that I would need to extend DataGrid, AdvancedDataGrid and

possibly also provide a custom itemEditor to resolve this issue. But 
wanted to hear if others had suggestions for the cleanest solution.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Scott

[flexcoders] internet Explorer 7 cache problem

[Mubasher Hanif]

Hi All,

I am having problem in loading xml document. I am using URLLoader for loading 
xml document. If I delete all files/clear explorer cache by going into 
Tools/internetOptions, it loads exact same xml document whatever is present on 
my harddrive. But after that If I dont clear cache and change some thing in xml 
document, it still loads the old cached xml document and for some reason not 
loading the updated xml document.

I tried every thing like pargma and cache control as a url headers but I am 
still facing same problem. Below I am writing my code. If anybody can take a 
look at that code and suggest me some thing then that would be really helpful 
for me.

I took help from adobe livdocs as-well but still not able to resolve the cached 
problem.

Here is the link: 
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/flash/net/URLRequestHeader.html

Thanks,
Mubasher

/*CODE*/
private function loadXML():void {

var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);
var header:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("pragma", "no-cache");

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Can't select an item renderer in a list

There are no additional interfaces, but as my blog points out, your
renderer must be completely data-driven and get its visual state from
calls to isItemSelected/Highlighted as renderers are recycled so the
cannot retain state

Humble excuse Alex,
but you are not answering my question / problem.

I have no problem with my highlight / selection showing...
My problem is that if I do drag & drop operation and if I change the
Data Provider then sometimes I can no longer select some items even
tho they are showing...

I have found out that if I remove my Highlighter class from my
renderer then everything will work out fine (I can drag & drop and
then select any / every items in the list).

So I was wondering if it is because my Highlighter class isn't
implementing some Interface that are necessary for a sub component of
a Renderer...

Thanx !

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid not populating from XMLListCollection - namespace issue?

[Brian]

Thanks! I've tried it and am still having problems. Sorry for the
newbie questions.

You mentioned in the comments on your blog that you like to leave the
resultFormat defaulted to Object. So then how do you construct your
dataProvider? I'm confused because on one hand we're talking about
handling XML/namespace data, but then you talk about leaving it as an
Object. Do you still use a result Handler to parse your Object data
into a different model?

[flexcoders] possible bug in loading mxml swf's in vista64

[cohcoloco]

I posted earlier that I was having trouble accessing public variables
from a loaded swf that was compiled from mxml, but worked fine if it
was pure as3, and this problem only seems to exist on my vista64 machine.

it seems to work fine on linux and winxp :/  is this a known bug?

[flexcoders] Re: accessing public properties from loaded mxml swf (flex 2.01)

[cohcoloco]

ok, in testing this with a few other boxes, I believe this to be a bug

[flexcoders] How do I place a preload to the objects loaded in an XMLList?

[Fernando Comet]

How do I place a preload to the objects loaded in an XMLList?

And, how do I place a preload every time I load an image? The images
are as much as 100kb, I don´t know it is necessarty.

This is my application: http://www.fernandocomet.com/Comet_porfolio.html
This is my code: http://www.fernandocomet.com/srcview/index.html

Thank you very much!

You will need to override measure() and set measuredHeight based on
explicitWidth.  There is code like that in ListItemRenderer

I'm trying to access the public properties from an swf that I've loaded,
but I get the error: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property test_property
not found on _test_app_mx_managers_SystemManager and there is no default
value. I load an as3 swf using the same technique, with the same
variable name, and it works fine. the swf's are from the same host as
well.

the way im loading is:
public function loadAsset(url:String):void {
var aLoader:Loader = new Loader();
aLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
assetLoaded);
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.applicationDomain= ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
aLoader.load(new URLRequest(url), context);
}
private function assetLoaded(eventEvent:Event):void {
return assetEvent.target as LoaderInfo
}

.. then from the calling class..

my_app = app_loader.assetInfo(appString).content;

doing something like trace(describeType(appWin).toString()); reveals
that my public variables are not available from the mxml swf, but
available fine if I use this on a regular as3 swf, ive tried
my_app.application["test_property"] .. etc

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Subject: [flexcoders] Overriding inherited skin style

 

Hi there

I have a global Panel style defined, which contains a border-skin swf.
I want to be able to turn this off for specific panels. There seems to
be no explicit way to turn this off (Eg. boder-skin:none) & the only
way I have managed so far is to reference a transparent / blank swf as
the skin. The problem with this though is background colour is then
ignored & I get a transparent panel, which I cannot really style.
Another alternative is to create the global panel style as a styleName
& reference it in each component in question. But there are more
components using this style than not, so it makes more sense to switch
it off for special cases.

Here's the code:
Panel {
borderSkin: Embed(source="flex_skins.swf", symbol="Panel_borderSkin");
}
CustomPanel {
borderSkin: Embed(source="empty.swf",
symbol="Panel_titleBackgroundSkin");
/*None of the following styles are implemented*/
backgroundColor: #1b2c36;
border-alpha:0;
border-thickness:0;
border-style:none;
}

[flexcoders] Have you monkey patched the Flex framework?

[Matt Chotin]

Have you modified the framework source for your own purposes on a
production Flex application?  If so I'd like to hear from you as we're
currently trying to understand where folks are making changes and the
kind of impact they could have on applications with relation to our new
cached framework strategy.

Please let me know the following:
1) What files (or at least what areas) have you patched
2) Is SWF size an important consideration for your app
3) Was patching really the only solution available to you
4) Are you comfortable creating RSLs

Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2Gateway only allowing one site??

[Derrick Anderson]

in my case, i have multiple copies of the same or 'similar' swf files
accessing cfc's on the backend.  i had considered the names being the same
affecting cache somehow but i have not been able to try changing one yet.

right now all my CFC's for each app have hard-coded variables instead of
application variables.  it definitely goes to the right path to look for the
CFC's, but it is reading the wrong application.cfm is what i have noticed,
sounds like exactly what you are seeing. because of this i cannot use
application or session variables to hold anything.

[flexcoders] Flex Logging ~ log4j

[Claude Hussenet]

What are the options to log information in a flex components without 
pushing any information to the server ?

I am looking for something similar to what can done with an Applet
sending logs into the java console.

Is FAST (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/fast_userguide.html)
still the recomended option with Flex 3 ?

Thank you for your help.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex2Gateway only allowing one site??

[brandon.culpepper]

Holy crap it works!! All I had to do was make sure that the .swf files
were named something different. For some reason because I was using
main.html and main.swf in both sites the swf was getting cached I
guess. So I created one Flex app called RemoteTesting-1 and one called
RemoteTesting-2. I then compiled and pushed RemoteTesting-1 out to
mySite-1 and pushed RemoteTesting-2 out to mySite-2 and each are
working now using their own respective Application.cfm's. Let me know
if you have any questions Derrick.

No, each site has a different Application name set in the
Application.cfm. 

Could this be due to the flex app swf file having the same name in
each directory?  I know it sounds like I am reaching at this point,
but I have been banging my head on this for a couple days now with no

[flexcoders] Flex2Gateway only allowing one site??

[brandon.culpepper]

Not sure if this is a Caching problem or not.

Server setup:
One CFMX 7.0.2 Standard Edition server with many sites in their own
directories in the webroot. This is not the multi-instance install of
CF I would prefer but we are working towards that.

Problem:
mySite-1 hits the flex2gateway and everything is fine. mySite-2 tries
to hit the flex2gateway and for some reason the flex app is trying to
use the Application.cfm for mySite-1 and is bombing out because it
thinks I am not logged in.

When I restart the CF service and hit the
flex2gateway from mySite-2 first everything is fine but hitting it
from mySite-1 is now trying to use the Application.cfm from mySite-2.

It seems to only want to use the Application.cfm from what ever the
first site is to hit it.

Any one else come across this?

1. Make sure you have the appropriate secure attributes in you crossdomain
file:



2. Also note that flash player doesnt trust any self-signed certs.

3. be wary of the IE no-cache header thing.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Localization Support

Flash doesn't support RTL (the next version will, but also remember that
even when Flash is updated, if you're using Flex you'll need to wait for a
corresponding Flex framework update as well).

There have been some experiments with hacks in Flash but I haven't seen
anything yet in Flex.  Here's one example:

Not pretty but apparently doable if it's a must.

Hello All,

I want to support Arabic content in my application.
That is the client can choose whether he want to view
the content of my applicaiton in Arabic or English at
runtime. Can anyone tell me how can I change the
content of Flex application at runtime? Also, do I
need to create separate SWF files for English and
Arabic content?

When the user selects to view the application in
Arabic, the application layout should change from
Left-To-Right to Right-To-Left. In .NET and HTML,
there is inherent support for this. In .NET all UI
controls have RightToLeft property. In HTML we can set
the "direction" attribute to "rtl" for Right-To-Left.
Can anyone tell me whether Flex supports this
inherently or not?

[flexcoders] Overriding inherited skin style

[polestar11]

Hi there

I have a global Panel style defined, which contains a border-skin swf.
I want to be able to turn this off for specific panels. There seems to
be no explicit way to turn this off (Eg. boder-skin:none) & the only
way I have managed so far is to reference a transparent / blank swf as
the skin. The problem with this though is background colour is then
ignored & I get a transparent panel, which I cannot really style.
Another alternative is to create the global panel style as a styleName
& reference it in each component in question. But there are more
components using this style than not, so it makes more sense to switch
it off for special cases.

Here's the code:
Panel {
borderSkin: Embed(source="flex_skins.swf", 
symbol="Panel_borderSkin");
}
CustomPanel {
borderSkin: Embed(source="empty.swf",
symbol="Panel_titleBackgroundSkin");
/*None of the following styles are implemented*/
backgroundColor: #1b2c36;
border-alpha:0;
border-thickness:0;
border-style:none;
}

RE: [flexcoders] How to scale containers?

[Mark Ingram]

I suppose I should say the problem I have, that might help:

 

If I have a component that is 100x100, I want to display it's contents
scaled down by 50%. So I set the scaleX & scaleY properties to 0.50. The
trouble is, when I view my container, it is now 50x50. I can see why
it's done that, but really I was hoping to just scale the contents - not
the container itself (the scrollbars are also 50% scaled).

Hi, I have a custom container which is based on the Canvas control. It
just displays other custom controls that are also based on Canvas. If I
wanted to do a thumbnail preview of the main container, how do I go
about scaling everything? For instance, if the main container displays
at 800x600, how can I scale it down into a control 80x60?

(I'm assuming there is something built in to flex to do most of this
without manually writing scaling code?)

[flexcoders] Re: Can't select an item renderer in a list

[icepaco33]

Hello,
Nope that's not it...
As I said, if you remove all the calls to the sub class Highlighter
(by commenting the data setter 
(  override public function set data(value:Object):void   ) 

and removing the CompleteEventHandler 
( private function SentenceRendererCreationCompleteEventHandler
> ():void  )

then everything will work fine.  (Aka you will be able to do drag &
drop and then select any item in the list etc.)

So the problem lies in the sub class _Highlighter.

Once again my theory is that since this class is totally custom my
guess is that there is an Interface that it should implements as a sub
component of a renderer...

thanx !

[flexcoders] accessing public properties from loaded mxml swf (flex 2.01)

[cohcoloco]

I'm trying to access the public properties from an swf that I've loaded,
but I get the error: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property test_property
not found on _test_app_mx_managers_SystemManager and there is no default
value.  I load an as3 swf using the same technique, with the same
variable name, and it works fine.  the swf's are from the same host as
well.

the way im loading is:
public function loadAsset(url:String):void {
 var aLoader:Loader = new Loader();
 aLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
assetLoaded);
 var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
 context.applicationDomain= ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
 aLoader.load(new URLRequest(url), context);
}
  private function assetLoaded(eventEvent:Event):void {
  return assetEvent.target as LoaderInfo
}

.. then from the calling class..

my_app = app_loader.assetInfo(appString).content;

doing something like  trace(describeType(appWin).toString());  reveals
that my public variables are not available from the mxml swf, but
available fine if I use this on a regular as3 swf, ive tried
my_app.application["test_property"] .. etc

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[flexcoders] Re: Can't select an item renderer in a list

[yossigordin]

Hi,

When a drag-n-drop operation is made, the data setter is not fired, 
rather the data changeEvent.
I think that the problem is with your itemRenderer - you have 
overriden the data setter but you didn't add an event listener for 
dataChange events.
Try to add a Flex.DataChangeEvent listener that does exactly what 
the setter does.

Hope it helps

[flexcoders] My first post here - styling the TabBar rollover colors

[mydarkspoon]

Hello all!

I'm styling the flex TabBar using Adobe flex explorer, and facing a
very annoying problem while trying to set the rollOver color of the tabs.

At first place I thought I could set the rollover color using the
tabStyleName's fillColors style, but this style can only get 2 colors
that determines the default bg color, unlike the ButtonBar, whose
fillColors can get 4 colors where the last 2 determines the rollover
colors.

Since TabBar extends ButtonBar, I thought that instead of using the
.tabStyleName I could use the buttonStyleName , in which I can define
rollover colors with the fillColors style which receives 4 colors,
where the last two, determines the rollover color, as the
buttonStyleName has no effect on the tabs.

This is a link to a demo project that illustrates the problem:
http://files-upload.com/files/616415/TabsRolloverColor.rar

I will be very glad to get some ideas to get around this.

Thanks a lot,
Almog.

[flexcoders] Disappearing content/Platform Differences...

[bithroop]

I have been developing on an XP SP2 box and a Macbook, bouncing back
and forth. Tonight I started having a problem where a remoting call
was throwing an error on the PC but the Mac was fine.

So I decided to grab my wife's laptop and see how the app did on hers.
I was shocked and saddened to see that some functionality that works
fine on the other two machines goes bad on hers. Specifically, content
that I do a startDrag() on seemed to disappear. I have no idea what is
going on, but in order to sleep tonight, I wanted to ask...

a) Is this common in Flash land? I picked this platform because I
thought I'd be able to avoid this.

b) When you run into cases like this, what do you do? First thing that
came to mind was to do a remote debugging session off of her computer.


FWIW, her machine is a Dell Inspiron 640m. I tried updating the Intel
gfx drivers, but no luck.

Any insight would be great.

[flexcoders] Re: Can't select an item renderer in a list

[icepaco33]

Humble excuse Alex,
but you are not answering my question / problem.

I have no problem with my highlight / selection showing...
My problem is that if I do drag & drop operation and if I change the
Data Provider then sometimes I can no longer select some items even
tho they are showing...

I have found out that if I remove my Highlighter class from my
renderer then everything will work out fine (I can drag & drop and
then select any / every items in the list).

So I was wondering if it is because my Highlighter class isn't
implementing some Interface that are necessary for a sub component of
a Renderer...

Thanx !

[flexcoders] Flex Builder 3 Performance Profiling not working os x 10.4.10

[rleuthold]

Hi,

I've tried to do a performance profiling of my App, following the Instructions 
on the Adobe 
Labs Page 
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_3:Feature_Introductions:_Performance_and_Mem
ory_Profiling (I quit Firefox before starting as well), but the Performance 
Profile Panel is always 
empty. 

I've found a filed bug (FB-10646) saying that there is a known problem on os x 
10.5. But I'm 
running 10.4.10 and experience the same thing.

Ideas, Information ? 

Thanks_rico

Re: [flexcoders] Editable data in data grid too easily edited

[Steve Hueners]

Absolutely! I'd take it a step farther and suggest it'd be better to have
the first click should highlight a given row even if clicking on an editable
field.

Will be interested in seeing how your resolve your objective.

[flexcoders] How to scale containers?

[Mark Ingram]

Hi, I have a custom container which is based on the Canvas control. It
just displays other custom controls that are also based on Canvas. If I
wanted to do a thumbnail preview of the main container, how do I go
about scaling everything? For instance, if the main container displays
at 800x600, how can I scale it down into a control 80x60?

(I'm assuming there is something built in to flex to do most of this
without manually writing scaling code?)

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

 

 

 

[flexcoders] Editable data in data grid too easily edited

[Scott Melby]

IMO it is too easy to get into "edit" mode on an editable DataGrid or 
AdvancedDataGrid.  For instance, if I am just selecting a row that was 
not previously selected it would be great if it did not invoke the 
editor until I clicked in the editable column again.  This is 
particularly problematic in the AdvancedDataGrid if the first column 
(tree column) is editable.  In this case even expanding/contracting the 
tree node puts the user into edit mode on the data in the first column 
of that row.

I am guessing that I would need to extend DataGrid, AdvancedDataGrid and 
possibly also provide a custom itemEditor to resolve this issue.  But 
wanted to hear if others had suggestions for the cleanest solution.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Scott

Re: [flexcoders] Bug in ContextMenu

[Scott Melby]

There are certain words that cannot be included in context menu 
captions.  "Delete" is definitely one of those words try "Remove" or 
something like that instead.  You can find a list of words that you 
cannot use in the API docs 
.

[flexcoders] Re: Code for preventing browser caching of SWF

[johantrax]

I used to be rather good in js, and I think i found your solution.
In AC_OETags.js, the function AC_GetArgs, change the following (line 200):

  case "src":
  case "movie": 
args[i+1] = AC_AddExtension(args[i+1], ext);
ret.embedAttrs["src"] = args[i+1];
ret.params[srcParamName] = args[i+1];
break;
to this
  case "src":
  case "movie": 
args[i+1] = AC_AddExtension(args[i+1], ext) + '?build=' + (new
Date()).getTime();
ret.embedAttrs["src"] = args[i+1];
ret.params[srcParamName] = args[i+1];
break;


The new Date() creates a date-object of the current moment and
getTime() return the milliseconds for that date since 1/1/1970 (GMT)

Hope it works,
--jeetee

Only until Builder 3 is release, afaik, then you'll need to upgrade (unless 
you bought maintaince).
