[flexcoders] Re: Webservices problem
Hi,
My code looks like below:
public function useTest():void{
WSTest.GetData.resultFormat=e4x;
WSTest.addEventListener(load, loadHandler);
WSTest.GetData.addEventListener(result, resultHandler);
WSTest.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT,faultHandler);
WSTest.loadWSDL();
}
public function loadPostsHandler(event:LoadEvent):void{
WSPosts.GetData(Get Result);
}
private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void{
Alert.show(+event.result);
}
private function faultHandler(event:FaultEvent):void{
Alert.show(+event);
}
WSTest is the id of my WebService. I have also specified
useProxy=false
I am passing in the parameters correctly. useTest() is called on
every button click. The webservice works fine on the first call. It
is only on the subsequent calls that an error is thrown.
Thanks Regards,
Sudha.

Hi,
I have a webservice that I invoke back to back on a button click.
On the first click the webservice returns the expected result.
However, on successive clicks, I get the following error:
[FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString= Array of input
arguments did
not contain a required parameter at position 2
faultCode=Client. Input faultDetail= null] messageId=null
type=fault bubbles=false cancelable=true eventPhase=2]
I am using Flex 2.0.1
Could anyone help me out to resolve this issue?

[flexcoders] How to draw a rect border on a rotated image
Hello all I find if I rotate the image (by setting the rotation to some value in Image property) to some degree, the axis of the object has been changed. So if I want to draw a rect around the image object, how can I do it. And, I find if I setting rotation of an object will cause the object been rotated from it's (0, 0) point. How can I rotate it around some other point, such as the center of the image? == Make Every Day Count Larry Zhang
[flexcoders] Re: Problem with RSL and SWFLoaders
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think you'd have to debug through it and see what is going on. However, before doing that, is it possible to re-implement this set of apps? Do these sub-apps ever need to run on their own? If not, you should consider using Modules. If that's too big an effort but those sub-apps don't need to run on their own, you should not build them using RSLs and simply extern all of the classes in the RSL when you build them. It will prevent them from even trying to load the RSL, but they'll remain small and run fine because they'll find the classes in the main app's applicationDomain. This should make your sub-apps show up even faster since they don't need to wait for the 3MB RSL load. I would expect this to solve your problem as well as there might be issues when more than one loader is trying to load the same bits. Hi Alex, It certainly looks like a problem with multiple loaders loading the same stuff at the same time. I have logged bug SDK-14085 for this. Unfortunately I cannot try your suggestions because each application does indeed have to be able to run on its own - the system I have created allows the applications to be removed from the main application window and opened in a new browser window. They can then be resized/minimised/moved to different monitors etc etc. Thanks for your help with this, Nick.
[flexcoders] Re: const?
I think you still pretty much get the concept of const.
It means the value of yyy cannot be changed after initialisation.
To actually see it used in methods like this.. I assume the example
you gave is a bit 'stripped down' :p
If I get it correctly, everything is ActionScript is passed by
reference, so to expand your example a bit:
function xxx() {
const yyy:Number = 99;
abc(yyy);
}
function abc(zzz:Number) {
zzz *= 10;
}
Not big of an example, not even sure if it's correct. But when this is
done I assume an error will be thrown, saying that the assignment to
zzz in function abc is illegal for the argument yyy, being const.
However this is an assumption, based on how I used const in other
programming languages. I have no experience with it in AS

Hi Giro,
Once initialization has been done which is the case when the click event
happened, you must use the getRepeaterItem() method of the repeated component
instance instead of currentItem property.

[flexcoders] Re: How to draw a rect border on a rotated image
you can rotate an object around any arbitrary point using matrix
transformations.
public static function rotateAroundInternalPoint(m:Matrix, x:Number,
y:Number, angleDegrees:Number):void
{
var point:Point = new Point(x, y);
point = m.transformPoint(point);
m.tx -= point.x;
m.ty -= point.y;
m.rotate(angleDegrees*(Math.PI/180));
m.tx += point.x;
m.ty += point.y;
}
you can then apply the matrix on the component transform.

[flexcoders] Drag and scroll problem in tileList
Hi list, I have a very annoying problem. I got a tileList with an itemRenderer. The itemRenderer contains a draggable zone. Because it's a manual drag'n'drop, I set the dragEnabled value to false, because I don't want the user to be able to drag the entire item. I also add allowDragSelection parameter to false, because I don't want the list to scroll while dragging. The problem is that the list is still scrolling. And I don't find any way to prevent that. The only solution I found is to set the dragEnabled value to true, and prevent drop operations... I think that the answer to my problem just need to answer one question : how is it possible to stop a list from scrolling ?

The most important thing about naming conventions is actually having one ;-) Which one is not that important (IMO) as long as it's clear and consistent and you (and your team) stick by it.

[flexcoders] Enabling/Disabling Components
What's the easiest way to make components visible/invisible in a VBox/HBox so that they collapse their real estate. When you just set visible=false, the space for the component is still reserved in the associated VBox/HBox. In addition, setting width=0 or height=0 collapses the space for the component but doesn't collapse the gap space between components. Is there an easy way to keep components in a VBox/HBox so they are still available via Actionscript but make them invisible *AND* also collapse their real estate (including gap space)? A common example: I have a form that shows either a combo box *or* a text box depending on selections made by the user. When the form changes from one to the other, I want to keep both controls but make one invisible (and collapse the associated space). I can do this with a Canvas using absolute layout (I just make the controls overlap and then set one visible and the other invisible), but I'm tyring to get it to work in a VBox/HBox form if possible.

[flexcoders] Re: const?
So your telling me that when you write a function if you have a var
that wont change its value for the duration of that function say like:
override protected function updateDisplayList(...):void{
var count:int=numChildren;
..loop code..
...finished
}
you consider that bad code as count should be declared as a const

const are usually declared const becuase they are public or
protected
and accesible by other user or subclass and you wish to protect
them
with they const keyword so they cant be changed.
const isn't there for the explicit protection of class members,
though const
is often used to allow public access to class constants and it's
used
because they are constants not variables. const wasn't created for
this
specific scenario.
Inside a function that is a few lines of code written by yourself
you
dont normally have a problem in having to protect yourself from
assigning a value to a variable again unless you have a split
personality.
That's me then. I consider it good practice and many others do so
as well.
If it's a constant unchanging value I'll declare it as a const and
in
capitals only.
The length of the function is immaterial - you are signalling the
intended
use to the developer and the compiler.
Maybe you code like that all the time but I cant say I have seen
that
before...
Where have you been?
If you dont understand the diference between class members and
function vars well... not much I can say..
Well, you've interpreted my const comments as a lack of knowledge
about
classes. It doesn't say anything about me, because it's completely
the wrong
assumption.

Thanks for the advice,
Maybe you could read the question, I am talking about Adobe
declaring
a const inside a function and asking what is the use and
benefit
of
that.
What is so different about using const inside a function? Seems
to
me they
are just saying this value will not change after declaration.
They
are
simply saying this is not a variable, it will not be altered.
This technique is often used for some special marker or value.
I really don't see the relevance of whether it's inside an adobe
function or
class, or anyone else's function or class.
No part of my question is covered by that help topic.
I think it's all covered by that topic. What else is it that you
are asking?

Constants
ActionScript 3.0 supports the const statement, which you can
use
to
create
constants. Constants are properties with a fixed value that
cannot
be
altered. You can assign a value to a constant only once, and
the
assignment
must occur in close proximity to the declaration of the
constant.
For
example, if a constant is declared as a member of a class, you
can
assign a
value to that constant only as part of the declaration or
inside
the class
constructor.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: const?
Ideally a const inside a function allows you to
use an identifier for a constant value, which is
replaced back to the value by the compiler. So
you have the advantage of using an identifier,
eg. changes are concentrated in one place,
and the advantage of a const, which is the speed.
I'm not sure though, if the compiler really replaces
the value back.
Cheers

RE: [flexcoders] Repeater and click
Also, you will find using Repeater much easier if you create a custom
component, and repeat that. Pass in a ref to the entire currentItem. Then, in
that component, you can code normally. Also, you can dispatch an event, and
the handler can access the entire dataProvider Item through the event.target
proprety.

Tracy
Goal: Display a list of items using a complex display for each item, and have
each of those items behave like a menu element and respond to a click anywhere
on the item by running a handler function.
One solution is to use a Repeater with a custom component
In the main app or component, declare the Repeater, and the click handler
function.
mx:Application ...

var xmlItem:XML = XML(oEvent.target);

!-- Note we pass in the entire currentItem, and define a click handler
--
MyRepeaterItem xmlItem={rp.currentItem}
itemClick=onRPItemClick(event) .../
/mx:Repeater
/mx:VBox
/mx:Application
And in the component, MyRepeaterItem.mxml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:HBox mouseChildren=false buttonMode=true click=onClick(event)
!-- The metadata tag below allows us to define an itemClick handler in mxml,

public function get xmlItem():XML

}//get xmlItem
/** Outer VBox Click handler function */
private function onClick():void

This is an issue related to some caching that Eclipse does -- when you install one beta and run it for a while, and then install a later beta, Eclipse still has out-of-date cache information.

Just noticed that your code doesn't define any drag listeners on the window, so thats why you're not seeing those. I would also check to see what version of the player you have in each browser. Ben

RE: [flexcoders] HTTPService.send() not retreving URL information or maybe not excecuting
Do not bind to lastResult. It is too hard to debug. You don't even
know if your call is executing, returning or erroring.
Use a result handler.

I think that since there is no argument to the function, binding does
not know when to execute.
Try:

private function getTotal(cost1:String,cost2:string):Number{
return (number(cost1) + Number(cost2));

[flexcoders] Problems displaying images stored in SQL Server as Datatype ĀimageĀ
I am trying to display an Image stored in SQL Server as datatype
'image' and it only shows a portion of the image.
It seems to be tied to the size (kb) of the image since the larger the
image the less of it is shown before it cuts off(sometimes it cuts off
mid line so it's about the file size and not fitting the image on the
screen).
Here is the code I am using that deals with the image.
[Bindable]
public var theImage:ByteArray = new ByteArray;
private function getScans_result(event:ResultEvent):void{
var imageByteArray:ByteArray = event.result[0].Image;
theImage = imageByteArray
}
mx:Image id=theIMG width=160 height=220 source={theImage}/
Any Thoughts??

Re: [flexcoders] Connecting Flex with SQL Server
As the other responders have mentioned, it depends on your need for security. You can set up an HTTP endpoint in SQL Server 2005 to respond directly to requests, but there is that issue of sending passwords directly to the database. Most people use a back-end application server to be the interface to the database. -Mike Chabot On Dec 20, 2007 11:59 AM, Samuel R.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Loading mask or overlay for datagrids while loading
A mask in Flash is a specific thing that clips the object it masks. I think you really want an overlay and PopUpManager is a good way to overlay things temporarily. Whether you want it for the datagrid or other components doesn't matter. The Alert puts up a transparent blur over the whole app via PopUpManager. You can popup some animation in a similar way at specific sizes and positions.

There is a similar problem with the dataField property of the DataGridColumn, and the workaround in that case is to use the labelFunction to display the data. Is there a similar workaround (or any workaround at all, really) that would work in my situation, or do I have to bite the bullet and just strip all the namespaces from the XML I am using as a data provider? Thanks in advance, Wesley
[flexcoders] Re: FlexMDI How to get DRAG_END event to fire
Maybe I will give that a try. I have been thinking about why it suddenly worked. When you asked what version of Flash Player I was running, I went to http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507 to find out. The page came up quite quick but the movie took about 15 seconds. I am just wondering whether my flash player had been cached and going to the adobe page above caused it to completely reload the latest Flash Player I had just installed? Other than that, I am stumped. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, ben.clinkinbeard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Strange indeed :) I know the code I pointed you to used a canvas, I just wanted to see if that made a difference.

[flexcoders] URLRequest file upload doesn't work with security?
I have a Flex application that uploads a file to the server and works great by itself. However, when I team it up with JCIFS for SSO it stops working. What is strange is that loading images and any other HTTP requests seem to work just fine, but when I do a URLRequest to upload the file it re-challenges the browser for authentication and I get a prompt to log-in. Is there something I can do to make this file upload work the same way all the other requests work so I don't get challenged after I've technically already been authenticated? I've verified the headers on the server and IE gets the JSESSIONID and Firefox does not, but both still prompt for authentication at upload time. Help is greatly appreciated.
[flexcoders] Re: Button White Background..
There is no problem in your code. and it works too.
try using this as a sample
fill-colors: #00, #00;
you will see that the colors are in fact changing. its just that the
white fill colors are hard to distinguish.

[flexcoders] IE keeps growing and growing and growing
I'm changing the selectedIndex of a data grid with a simple function

hi there. i can apply a stylesheet no problem, to a mxml application. however, in an as3 only application, i cant seem to figure out how to do this. i can TextFormat using a stylesheet, when its text, no problem. just cant figure out how to do it for the whole app. mainly i want a background gradient and some background alpha changes. thanks for any help tony -- 'Never have anything in your life that you can't walk out on in thirty seconds flat, if you spot the heat coming around the corner' robert deniro - heat (1995)
RE: [flexcoders] IE keeps growing and growing and growing
You have exponential timer creation occurring! At 5 ticks your timer will
complete. Both onTick and onTimerComplete will occur (in that order), and 2
more timers will get created. In 5 seconds both onTick and onTimerComplete
will occur on both of those timers and 4 more timers will get created. in 5
seconds. 8 more. 16 more.. 32 more. etc.
To protect against this kind of bad coding, a good practice for timers is to
declare them on the class (not within the function as you have), and when
you want to start them, check to make sure they aren't running first, if
they are, stop them beforehand. and don't declare new timers if at all
possible - instead use the reset function.
HTH!

[flexcoders] Re: IE keeps growing and growing and growing
I think it may have to do with calling addEventListener. I think it
may be adding and adding and adding. Is there a way to create a timer
that calls a function every time an interval is reached? I've
experimented with using useWeakReference but I don't see a
difference. Any help would be appreciated.

[flexcoders] Event after ScrollEvent?
The scroll event fires when scrolling occurs, but before the child content has shifted. Here is the documentation: 'At the time when this event is dispatched, the scrollbar has been updated to the new position, but the container's child objects have not been shifted to reflect the new scroll position.' What events are available to listen to so that I will know that the content has shifted? I have tried listening to the UPDATE_COMPLETE event at various levels, but this doesn't seem to work for me all the time either. I am immediately calling getRect() on one of the child objects to get it's position relative to objects higher in my application. At the time I make this call, the returned rect is not always the updated rect that reflects the scroll that has just occurred. Thanks, Gary

Yes, it does.
I don't understand why you are creating a timer for 5 seconds and then
starting it again. Why not just create a timer forever?
