Re: [flexcoders] widget creation on Flex builder and related problems - need some help

[Vadim Melnik]

Hi,


if I want to migrate my app to that NativeWindow based solution - then
NativeWindow is not an mx class and I cannot find how I will use Flex
Builder Design mode to arrange my GUI elements. Is it somehow possible
to wrap my mx:Application inside NativeWindow and do not have to
migrate the design from mxml files to pure ActionScript
<<<

Not sure if it's the same functionality necessary in this case, but below is 
example how it's possible to integrate Flex component into native AIR 
window, also it would be good idea if standard Adobe AIR runtime supported 
similar functionality in final release:

  Subject: [flexcoders] widget creation on Flex builder and related problems - 
need some help


  Hi all.
  I am trying to create a desktop widget application and it seems I have
  made a mistake. As you know, desktop widgets are like small stickers,
  they do not appear on taskbar and can be hidden or docked.
  The problem is that I created an AIR application using Flex Builder 3
  Beta and now I cannot find how to make that application behave like
  custom-shaped window. My app appears on Windows taskbar and I don't
  want it. When I drag the window (which is a custom shape) it shows
  that nasty dragging rectangle around it.
  As far as I found out (and tried it) I need to use cod like:
  var initOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
  initOptions.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE;
  initOptions.type = NativeWindowType.UTILITY;

  to hide my window from the taskbar. But it seems I cannot use such a
  code for class mx:Application. Or can I (would be grateful for some idea)?
  The main question is:
  if I want to migrate my app to that NativeWindow based solution - then
  NativeWindow is not an mx class and I cannot find how I will use Flex
  Builder Design mode to arrange my GUI elements. Is it somehow possible
  to wrap my mx:Application inside NativeWindow and do not have to
  migrate the design from mxml files to pure ActionScript?

  The second issue - if I want to use some kind of subforms - like
  widget settings window - when I move that window with the mouse, it is
  being clipped to the region of my Application. Does that again mean
  that I need to use NativeWindow for creating such a "Widget settings"
  dialog window?

  Thanks for any ideas (and especially for useful links and examples :-) )

In my application sometimes I receive "

[flexcoders] Cairngorm Issue

[Manu Dhanda]

Hii..

I am trying to learn how to use cairngorm. Now, I am creating Login/Register
page. 
The structure is like below:

   






In the code, loginForm & registerForm are two forms. and below them is a
controlbar( which controls which form need to be displayed via a link
button.

The issue is, initially, login form displayed fine. But, when I click the
link button to display the registerForm, it only displays the 'textfields'
and none of the labels being displayed.

First I thought, there might be an issue with registerForm code, but then I
set the registerForm to be displayed as the application default & it
displays fine and then same problem happen with login form(i.e. only text
fields displyed with none labels in front of them.

Any help to resolve this issue will be great.

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Usage tracking in a Flex app with Google Analytics: How to

[Tracy Spratt]

The ability to record and analyze user navigation, actions and even
purchases is valuable in many web sites and applications.  In case you
are not aware of it, Google provides a free service called Google
Analytics (GA), that makes this very easy to do.  Learn more, and set up
your account here: http://www.google.com/analytics/

I recently set this up for a Flex application.  While clear and helpful,
the GA documentation is strongly oriented toward traditional html
websites, full of strange terms like "body onLoad" and such, so making
it work with a Flex app was harder than it needed to be.  Below are the
steps you need to take to use Google Analytics with Flex.

Tracking Navigation and actions:
1: Set up your account, a tracking profile, and get your account id, at
the above link.  It is quite simple.  At the end of this process, you
will see a block of javascript that needs to go in the html wrapper of
the Flex app

2: Modifying the Html Wrapper: Remember that if you are letting Flex
Builder generate the wrapper, you need to do this in
"index.template.html", otherwise it can jus to in the wrapper html. Copy
and paste the whole script block into the html wrapper.  I put mine just
below the style tag, and above the block that defines the flash Global
variables.  The first tag includes the js file, the next tag sets the
account id to a variable, and invokes the "urchinTracker()" function,
which logs a page hit with GA.  The script block looks like this:

http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js";
type="text/javascript">

_uacct = "UA-xxx-x"; //this is your account
Id
urchinTracker(); //this created a record
when the wrapper is hit


Now, you want to know more than that the app wrapper was hit.  To do
this, you use ExternalInterface in Flex to call the "urchinTracker()"
function, but you include an argument.  That argument should look like
an url.  In my case this was no problem, since my navigation was easily
represented by the form: 

/ApplicationName/MainNav/SubNav/OptionalAction.  

I implemented a public method in my main app:

/** sends usage id to GoogleAnalytics */
public function logUsage(sUsageId:String):void
{ 
  ExternalInterface.call("urchinTracker",sUsageId);
}

At my main navigation points and in sub-applications as desired, I call
that method:
_app.logUsage("/" + _sAppName + "/SubAppName[/Action]"
);

The result of this is a very useful set of data regarding users
navigation around my application.  GA has filters and many other
analysis tools available to look at this data.

Tracking Ecommerce:
Google analytics also lets you track sales that are made through your
application.  Again the docs are full of strange terms like "submit
form" and "receipt page", that we do not know about in Flex.  But if
your Flex site sells stuff, it is easy to log it in GA.

1: Set up GA for Ecommerce logging:
1.  Log in to your account. 
2.  Click Edit next to the profile you'd like to enable. 
3.  On the Profile Settings page, click edit next to Main Website
Profile Information. 
4.  Change the E-Commerce Website radio button from No to Yes. 


2: Modifying the Html Wrapper:
This works by placing your sales transaction data in a hidden form in
the html wrapper.  GA advises that this form be placed just before the
closing body tag.  It looks like this, copy it exactly:


  


Then, we again use ExternalInterface to send the transaction and line
item data to a wrapper function:

/* called by ExternalInterface */
function logTransaction(sTransInfo)
{
  document.getElementById('utmtrans').innerHTML =
sTransInfo;
  __utmSetTrans(); 
}

You see that the function takes the passed in sales transaction info and
puts it in the hidden form.  Then it calls the "__utmSetTrans" function,
which reads the hidden form values and sends it to Google Analytics.

The sales transaction info string is a specially formatted string, like
this:


UTM:T|[order-id]|[affiliation]|[total]|[tax]|[shipping]|[city]|[state]|[
country] 

UTM:I|[order-id]|[sku/code]|[productname]|[category]|[price]|[quantity]

The string works on the delimiters, "UTM" and the "|" pipe, so spaces
and newlines don't matter.  Build this string in your shopping cart
however you need.
You can have as many UTM:I, line item records that you want.  I think
only the order-id is required, but include all the pipe delimiters, even
if there is no data between them.

Note that it takes 12-24 hours for data to be visible in the GA reports,
which is a pain, but just be patient.

See the GA help for more details on all of this.

Since you are using client javascript, your back-end is ne

OK - not understanding something here.
Application.application.container?  I'm trying to figure out the base UI
class I can add sprite children to.  I have a class which draws objects,
and I want those objects to be drawn in my flex app.  So here is the
simplified version of the code below.  The thing I don't get is if I
leave in "_container = Application.application.container;" then the
constructor in my class does not run, but if I take it out, it runs. ?!?
Is Application.application.container the correct way to reference the
base UI object you can start adding Sprites to and then draw on with
Actionscript?



http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml

applicationComplete="init()">

 
  
 





The MyClass.as file is:



package src
{


 import mx.core.UIComponent; 
 import mx.core.Application;

  

 public class MyClass 

 {

private var _container:UIComponent;

private var _circle:Sprite;



public function MyClass(container:UIComponent)
{

trace("constructor runs")
 _container = container;

  drawGraphics();
}



private function drawCircle():void
{
 _circle.graphics.drawCircle(100, 100, 100);
 _container.addChild(_circle);
}



}



}

Any ideas as to what is going on?  How do you handle getting to
the base UI class to draw objects with Actionscript?  Thank you.

[flexcoders] Modifying the ObjectProxy class returned by RemoteObject

[marty.pitt]

Hi

I'm doing a bunch of coding at the moment which requires the
generation of lots of VO's.

I wrote some code to use reflection to analyze the object in an
ObjectProxy and generate the AS3 code to represent this object.  (Will
share this once it's cleaned up).

Now, I'd like to subclass the ObjectProxy class to providing a
property sourceCode():String which returns the code to represent the
class.

Subclassing the ObjectProxy is easy.  How do I set the type of object
returned by a RemoteObject result to my subclassed  ObjectProxy?

[bithroop]

Hmm.. I might not be understanding what you're suggesting, but...

I have the exact component that I want to overlay... really the
question is what to addChild it to. Can I access the main
displayContainer and if so how? My Application.application uses
horizontal layout so it's not a candidate.

I saw an example the other day about "Flexify your portal" on google 
somewhere, and the fellow had it all figured out. Search for that 
phrase and you will find it.
The reason *I* was looking is that I am attempting to plug in my Flex 
apps in JSP pages in IFrame jsf components. It works fine...until the 
JSP page refreshes. If I am on the view of my viewstack, it doesn't 
maintain where it was at...and goes back to the initial view. I 
haven't done enough research on how to get around this, but if you or 
anyone have ideas, I am all ears.

RE: [flexcoders] How can I overlay a UIComponent on top of my application?

[Blake Barrett]

I'm not sure about this, but you could try capturing a bitmap on
MouseOver (of every component) of event.target

var bd : BitmapData (event.target);
bd.draw (300, 300);
var bmp : Bitmap ( bd );

then try adding that bitmap to the main displayContainer ("the stage").
I hope this works as a starting point.

Trying to figure out the best way to do this...

I have an image in my UI which is small. I want a larger version of it
to draw, attached to the mouse cursor, when the user rolls over it.
Kinda like a tooltip but moving along with the cursor. (Mixbook does
this if you've ever seen it)

I have it mostly working but my main issue is that I know I always
want the zoomed version of the image to draw on top of the entire UI.
These small images can be in any number of different types of
containers, so I can't addChild the UIComponent to the small image or
to its parent... needs to be something like a popup or tooltip. 

Peeked a bit at SystemManager for this since that's what PopupManager
talks about... anyway, anyone have any insight on this? Should I make
it a cursor?

Re: [flexcoders] Triggering a .htrml page inside a html frame from Flex.

Give your iframe an id, then
create a JS command like so:

javascript:document.getElementById('iframeid').src = 'page1.html';

And trigger it as you did below.

RE: [flexcoders] Auto-sizing a Container that lives in rawChildren - how?

[Alex Harui]

Container layout only affects content children and not rawChildren
(borders, scrollbars, etc).

 

Since children are sized by their parents, you size and layout yourself,
which you should do in updateDisplayList.

It seems that Containers that are added to rawChildren do not get
measured and laid out automatically like they normally would. For
instance, if I don't give my HBox an explicit width and height it will
not show up when I call someCanvas.rawChildren.addChild(myHBox), no
matter how many children I put inside it. I am assuming this is due to
their measure() method not getting called (by SystemManager?) or
something but am not sure.

My question is whether or not there is a fairly easy way to get them
to auto-size like usual, or do I have to run through the children and
calculate it all myself during updateDisplayList()?

Ben

[flexcoders] Re: How to detect DoubleClick in Button?

[lampei]

I don't think there's an actual event that will do it, but you could
write your own.  Something like:

When the mousedown event fires, set a variable with a date.
When the user clicks again make sure a minimum amount of time has passed
(and also make sure it's less than a certain max time you determine). 
If the second click of the button falls within your pre-defined range,
fire off the double-click event, else, set the variable to new Date and
wait for another click.

Thank you, Alex.
I'll need to be patient.  ;-)

One other thing I found interesting, in looking at the source of the

allowances for dates as strings... so I'm not sure why it's not
working... unless I'm really not formatting the date string properly.
But I've tried every format I can think of.

Re: [flexcoders] Custom ItemEditor too big for container

[Ken Dunnington]

Ok, got it! I had to use some hard-coded values, which I'm not fond of
doing, but I can live with it :) Here's the function I used:

private function adjustEditorOffset(e:ListEvent):void {
var tree:Tree = Tree(e.currentTarget);
var treeBottomY:int = tree.y + tree.height;
tree.editorYOffset = (treeBottomY - tree.mouseY < 200) ?
-155 : 5;
}

The 200 is the height of my item editor, and the -155 is just from trial and
error as to what looked good :) This seems to do the trick just fine.

[Peter Farland]

Make sure that you're not using a JVM that has IO performance issues...
Java 1.5.0_07 is known to have IO problems that seriously slows down
compilation, on both PC and Mac. Try to move to Java 1.5.0_13 which has
proven to have resolved this issue (note for Mac, Java 1.5.0_13 ships
with Leopard OS).

For Java 1.4.2, I suggest getting the latest possible. There are issues
in Java 1.4.2_02 through Java 1.4.2_05, and 1.4.2_10. If you can avoid
these particular update versions it will make life simpler.

[flexcoders] Application.application.container?

[Merrill, Jason]

OK - not understanding something here.
Application.application.container?  I'm trying to figure out the base UI
class I can add sprite children to.  I have a class which draws objects,
and I want those objects to be drawn in my flex app.  So here is the
simplified version of the code below.  The thing I don't get is if I
leave in "_container = Application.application.container;" then the
constructor in my class does not run, but if I take it out, it runs. ?!?
Is Application.application.container the correct way to reference the
base UI object you can start adding Sprites to and then draw on with
Actionscript?
 
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute" applicationComplete="init()">
 
  
 

 
The MyClass.as file is:
 
package src
{

 import mx.core.UIComponent; 
 import mx.core.Application;
 
 public class MyClass 
 {
private var _container:UIComponent;
private var _circle:Sprite;
 
public function MyClass(container:UIComponent)
{
trace("constructor runs")
 _container = container;
  drawGraphics();
}
 
private function drawCircle():void
{
 _circle.graphics.drawCircle(100, 100, 100);
 _container.addChild(_circle);
}
 
}
 
}

Any ideas as to what is going on?  How do you handle getting to the base
UI class to draw objects with Actionscript?  Thank you.

[flexcoders] Re: Sloooooow Flex Builder

[denny431]

I had the same problem on large Flex projects.
Try adjusting the settings in FlexBuilder.ini file.(Standalone 
version)

You can increase the amount of memory alloted to Flex Builder.

Such as:
-vmargs
-Xms512M
-Xmx1024M
-XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=20

Re: [flexcoders] Custom ItemEditor too big for container

[Ken Dunnington]

I'm afraid that didn't do it. I'm going to try intercepting the
itemEditBegin event and check the position of the item clicked and adjust
the editorYOffset property on the Tree... does that sound right? Of course,
I now need to learn how to figure out the item's position :)

[flexcoders] Auto-sizing a Container that lives in rawChildren - how?

[ben.clinkinbeard]

It seems that Containers that are added to rawChildren do not get
measured and laid out automatically like they normally would. For
instance, if I don't give my HBox an explicit width and height it will
not show up when I call someCanvas.rawChildren.addChild(myHBox), no
matter how many children I put inside it. I am assuming this is due to
their measure() method not getting called (by SystemManager?) or
something but am not sure.

My question is whether or not there is a fairly easy way to get them
to auto-size like usual, or do I have to run through the children and
calculate it all myself during updateDisplayList()?

TIA,
Ben

[flexcoders] what is the recommended approach to flex in a portal environment

[nitin_becomp]

I want to use the Flex swf in portal (JBOSS/ websphere/ liferay 
etc). This Portal will have 5-6 tabs and will have many portlets 
inside one tab for different functionality. And the options I have 
are - 

1.  To develop the complete portal in Flex
2.  To create the tab pages in flex and put them as page on one 
portlet and then one tab will have one portlet.
3.  To have the separate swf files in every portlet of every page of 
every tab.

 Basically what is the recommended approach to flex in a portal 
environment? Which one is recommended and what are the pros and cons 
over each other. 

Link to default JBOSS Portal page - 
http://portal.demo.jboss.com/portal/default/default 
Where each window that have the minimize button at top right is 
called as portlet
 

Other thing is what are the pros and cons of having one swf app vs 
many swf files in one html/JSP page. And what is the overhead on the 
browser

[flexcoders] flex builder 3 profiler. which player?

[aaron smith]

I can't figure out which player to use for the flex 3 profiler. I've
downloaded the latest flex3sdk and installed
runtimes/players/mac/install...dmg. Do I need a special version of the debug
player? dah. I've also tried it with 9.0.47 debug, but i always the get the
"connect to debugger" popup which won't ever connect to localhost. Any
ideas?

RE: [flexcoders] navigation via mx:Tree

[Tracy Spratt]

To assign selectedChild, you need a reference to the acutal child.

 

Store an integer in the xml that relates to the index of the child in
the viewstack, then set selectedIndex.

 

Or have a switch statement that uses the @name to get the correct index.

Subject: [flexcoders] navigation via mx:Tree

 

I'd like to have an mx:Tree that acts as a navigation menu; where
clicking an item in the Tree switches a viewStack to the corresponding
page.

I have an xml file with nodes that look like this:






When rendered in a tree it creates a folder called Folder 1 with two
sub-items called Item 1 and Item 2, respectively.

I have a function that's triggered onChange for the tree that looks
like this:

public function treeChanged(event:Event):void {
selectedNode=Tree(event.target).selectedItem;
var myDestination:String = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
trace ([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
}

That runs fine. Clicking on a item in the Tree traces "itemOne" or
"itemTwo" in the console.

Now... I then have a viewStack with children named "itemOne" and
"itemTwo."

And I want to have the tree change read the newly selected item in the
tree and go to the corresponding viewStack child.

So I added this to the function:

public function treeChanged(event:Event):void {
selectedNode=Tree(event.target).selectedItem;
var myDestination:String = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
myViewstack.selectedChild = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
}

unfortunately, this doesn't work. does anyone see how to do this better?

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Using DateField as itemEditor for DataGrid
column

 

Anybody? Anybody?

Various other namespaces seem to have definitions for date values, but
I haven't been successful in loading up other namespaces in XML docs
for Flex consumption. And I'm not convinced it would work even if I
did... seems like the date value would *still* need to be in a format
that Flex could understand internally, not based on some other
namespace that it knows nothing about.

ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Carl

I would imagine that you don't *really* want to act on the change
event for the ComboBox. You'll be able to get the selectedItem for the
ComboBox, but you'll lose context and won't know which row in the
datagrid you're acting on... which I would think would be important.

As Scott mentioned, tie your processing to the itemEditEnd event of
the DataGrid itself. This way, you're in the proper context (you know
which row you're actually editing), and you can get access to the
ComboBox via the event.currentTarget.itemEditorInstance property, and
act on the selectedIndex, selectedItem, selectedLabel, etc *that* way.

[flexcoders] Re: Missing classes when using RSL cache

[Darrell Loverin]

Yes, dependent RSLs must be included as well. The datavisualization 
RSL is dependent on the framework RSL. This means when you use 
datavisualization as an RSL you must also use the framework as an 
RSL. Also note that since the datavisualization is dependent on the 
framework RSL, the datavisualization RSL must be loaded after 
framework RSL. You can modify the RSL loading order in Flex Builder 
by modifying the project properties. In the project properties 
dialog goto Flex Build Path - Library Path. Select framework.swc and 
press the "Up" button until it is above datavisualization.swc. Now, 
assuming both framework.swc and datavisualization.swc are loaded as 
RSLs, the framework RSL will load before the datavisualization RSL.

[flexcoders] Drag And Drop Question: List within list...

[Boson Au]

Hi everyone, I'm a beginning Flex Developer, but I've had a couple of
years experience w/ scripting.

here's my problem:

my current app basically deals with folders and files, such that a
folder has files and a folder can have another folder (that has files
or other folders... you get the idea) 

I'm populating this using a really simple xml list of nodes and children.

I'm using a tree control with DnD enabled.  I've been testing this and
here's what's going on:


1.) I drag the files and folders around on the own 'level' and reorder
them: all good.
2.) I drag a file from one folder and put them in another, this is
where it gets weird.  It either does not remove the original object
being dragged from its previous list, or it disappears into the ether
and I just straight up lose the object.


can anyone help?  I uploaded the test at
http://www.americanforkliftsociety.com/flexStuff/xmlTest.html (rt
click to view source)...

[flexcoders] Sanity Check!

[triggersoftware]

Is there any way to strongly type the objects that come back from a
Webservice call?  Something along the lines of:

[Bindable(wsdl=http://localhost:8080/MyProject/CandidateService?wsdl.Questionnaire)]
public class Questionnaire {
  ...
}

I know about the proxy generation in Flex Builder 3...

[flexcoders] Spacing wrong with embedded fonts and htmlText -- please help

[toofah_gm]

I am seeing some terrible problems when attempting to make my html
text look nice in a TextArea component that uses embedded fonts.  

It seems that my  tags and my spaces are not being respected.

Here is some sample code that shows it all.  I have embedded arial.ttf
font in this example since it would be simple for anyone to get this
ttf and compile the code:


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













And here is my "CustomTextArea" component:

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






Click on the "IN-2" button to put the HTML in the second box into the
RTE and the box on the right.  You will notice that the RTE, which
does not use the embedded font, will display with correct
formatting...the CustomTextArea on the right, which is setup to use
the embeded font will not display correctly.

If you push the "IN" button, the HTML from the first box will get
pushed in...it does not have font "face" defined...in this case none
of the text shows up...IMHO it should show the text anyway with some
sort of "default" font.

What am I doing incorrectly?  I need HTML formatting to work correctly
with my embedded fonts.

Thanks,
Gary

[flexcoders] Display an html page in a flex popup

[letterpigeon]

Hi all,
 
Has anyone successfully embeded html in a flex popup.  I've looked at
the IFrame approach in this link
http://www.deitte.com/archives/2006/08/finally_updated.htm and able to
get html to display in a simple canvas but i can't figure out how to
take it a step further (putting it in a popup, or put it in a tab as
part of a tab navigator).  
 
Is IFrame the correct way to do this?  Any other suggestions?  Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Sloooooow Flex Builder

[Scott Melby]

My project eventually grew to a point where FB was completely unusable.  
That forced me to re-org my code into modules which has been much 
better.  I decided on a single project with multiple modules... which 
means it is still dog slow when I clean the project.  But, otherwise 
things are much much faster.

Subject: [flexcoders] Custom ItemEditor too big for container

 

I've built a custom Tree ItemEditor that consists of a VBox with a Form
in it. It works just fine (besides the CheckBox which is too picky about
"true" vs. true in the XML data...) except when I try to edit an item
near the bottom of the container, the editor gets cut off. Because I
wanted it to only occupy the smallest necessary space, I set the
following properties on the Tree control: editorHeightOffset="150"
editorWidthOffset="-650", and there is no width or height set for the
ItemEditor. 

What's the best way to ensure that my custom editor won't occupy a huge
amount of space, but will stay on-screen as well? I tried setting
verticalScrollPolicy to "on" but it doesn't register as an increase in
the control's height, so the bars don't activate when the editor is off
the screen.

  I thought for RemoteObject you needed more than just an application

Hi Alex,
I tried to listen to the "tooltipshow" event in AdvancedDataGrid(Flex 
3), but I was not able to catch the event at all.

private function changeToolTipPosition(event:ToolTipEvent):void {
trace("TungChau::x=" + ToolTipManager.currentToolTip.x);
trace("TungChau::y=" + ToolTipManager.currentToolTip.y);
trace("TungChau::y1=" + ToolTipManager.currentTarget.y);
}


...


When debugging the problem, I set a breakpoint 
inside "changeToolTipPosition" function and I was never able to reach 
the breakpoint. My AdvancedDataGrid has grouping by default.

[flexcoders] Support ical recurrence in Flex Calendar

[kuroiryu42]

I am expanding on the calendar from

I want to be able to support holiday calendars which means I need to
support recurrence rules.

I tried loading a holiday calendar and inspecting the calendar the
holiday feed was loaded but nothing shows up because the events are
not adjusted by their recurrence rules.

Just curious if anyone has already fixed this.

You'll get a HEADER_RELEASE event, then I would wait for updateComplete
before setting selectedIndex.  The sort code wll try to retain the

You need a server (not IIS) of some sort, like BlueDragon, Adobe's ColdFusion, 
or just put JRUN back.

Look into "fluorine" or "weborb", both are remoting solutions for
dotnet. Personally I'm using fluorine at the moment and am quite happy
with it.
There are getting started tutorials for both just a short google search
away (Sorry, I don't have any links to hand just now)

[flexcoders] Datatips with buttons - using dataTipRenderer

[maybe later...]

Hi,

I'm trying to put a button in a datatip.
I created a class, extending the DataTip class.
I did an override to createChildren, adding my button.
(also override to measure() to widen it for the button, and get/set data).
I attached the "hide" event to a function that keeps the datatip
visible (meaning: this.visible = true;)
So the datatip with the button stays visible, but the button isn't
responding to a click. I attached the custom class itself to a click
event, and when I click on the tooltip it also doesn't respond.

btw - if I extend a canvas, it's working. but I want to extend a
datatip, so it has all the abilities and design of a datatip, only
with a button.

What should I do to be able to click the button I added there? 
Thanks,
butch

RE: [flexcoders] Combo as itemEditor

event.target (or currentTarget) returns a reference to the ComboBox, so

[flexcoders] SeriesInterpolate effectEnd event continually dispatches

[vic8427]

I have a chart with 3 series.  I use the SeriesInterpolate effect with the 
column series.  I want 
to use the effectEnd event to call a function.



This event dispatches, but does so continually.  Therefore my callback function 
is continually 
being called.  The column series is the only object that I am using this effect 
with.  Any idea 
as to why this would happen?

Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: accessing nested objects... what am I missing?!?!

[ryanharlin]

So things are half-working.  I say half-working because they work but
they give me an error when I compile.

switching a viewstack in the nested mxml app is done like this in my code:

viewstack in main file is called "mainscreens"
inside that viewstack are two  tags

so it looks like this:







If I try and change a viewstack that's in appOne, called 'myView', I
do this (based on advice earlier in this thread):

click = "mainScreens.myView.selectedChild = screen2;"

If try to run this app I get an error that says:

"1119:Access of possibly undefined property myView through a reference
 with static type mx.containers:ViewStack"

BUT IT WORKS!  If I ignore the error and run the app, the code works.



But I get the error every time I compile and I think it's messing up
other things below it in the program.

[flexcoders] Multiple Series Flex Charting

[netdeep]

Hi, I'm new to flex and new to this group.  I really like flex so far, but I'm 
having problems 
getting data from an xml source to display dynamically in a flex chart.  The 
xml has an 
indeterminate number of series and each series will contain metadata which 
defines what 
type of chart it is (i.e. PlotSeries, LineSeries, etc) along with labels for 
axis.  But I do not 
know:

A)  How to read this data
B)  How to get the data into a chart.

I can read in the data fine from an HttpService into a static chart, but have 
had zero 
success with the dynamic version.  Here's a sample of the xml I need to read in.



Chart Name

Unit X1
Unit X2
Date


PlotSeries
Plot Series

[int x]  [int y]


[int x]  [int y]

[etc]



LineSeries
Line Series

[int x]  [int y]


[int x]  [int y]

[etc]




Again the xml file could have an indeterminate number of these series objects.  
I've been 
trying to find this answer for quite a while in other forums with no success.  
Thanks for any help you can offer.

[flexcoders] TileList Memory Issues - not freeing up renderers

[rueter007]

Hi,

I have a tilelist with a custom item renderer showing an image and
some text. I used the profiler to look at the memory issues and see
that the tilelist is not reusing renderers when the dataprovider
changes. It simply creates new renderers. Moreover, when I scroll up
and down on the tilelist, it is creating new renderers rather than
reusing the existing ones. I get this information from the profiler.
The old instances are never being garbage collected. Is there a way to
force the tilelist to flush these renderers? (I believe the tilelist
is supposed to do this already, but some how it does not seem to be
working in my case.) Any help is appreciated. thanks,

However, taking the datagrid in Flex as an example, the user can edit 
the data and events are triggered thus the local dataprovider is 
updated automatically. I am wrestling with the problem of whether I 
should send the data as it is edited in the grid, or whether to use 
some kind of call later function to check whether the editing has been 
finished etc before sending the update request to the backend. It would 
be interesting to hear how people are dealing with taking to the 
database.

Hi, Christophe.

I have used VO in send/recieve communication with server by use Java 
Spring. No problem at all, but I still don't try to use custom-define 
collection class to contain VO. It works well with ArrayCollection <-> 
List, Array.

Hope it help you.
