Re: [flexcoders] layout / scrolling issues

[Giles Roadnight]

Fantastic, yes that does work. Many thanks, a much easier and lighter weight
solution.

There doesn't seem to be any mention of this in the docs?

now I just have to deal with those annoying horizontal scroll bars that pop
up!

Thanks again

[flexcoders] extra large line space in textarea if use htmlText to set text

[Jonathan Lee]

I used RichTextEditor control to edit text. Then, I save it as a html file.
The issue is when I load the html file in a textarea, something strange will 
happen if I set some character in the text to very large font.

Sample html:
1. Carefully put 
the egg yolk mixture back into the egg whites but do not pack it. There will be 
enough mixture so the whites are overfilled. Sprinkle with paprika. Place on 
bed of lettuce and/or garnish with parsley. Cool before 
serving.



You will see I set the character "1" to 48 point font size. And rest of the 
text uses  point 10. Then, when it displayed in text area, the last several 
words seems have some extra line space between any other words. (Feels like 
there's some line break there). But there's no any line break.

Here is the screen shot: 
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2013/2128318270_ff89abf4c2_o.jpg

After click on the "Populate" button, I set the htmlText value of the left 
TextArea by using the htmlText value of that RichTextEditor. You will in the 
textarea box, the last line looks like have some extra line break. But actually 
there's no any line break.

Any suggestions? What I'm missing here?

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] setting mxml attributes in actionscript when those properties don't exist

[Seth Caldwell]

Thanks Gordon. Can I ask what would happen if you had an attribute the same
name as a style and the same name as an event and you tried to set this in
the mxml? 

Or would this not be allowed? If its not allowed it seems like events and
styles should automatically create getters/setters of their variable types
on the classes so that you programmatically could do something like
component.someEventName = someFunctionName; instead of
component.addEventListener("foo",bar);  and the variable would be of type
EventListener, or something. /shrug

It just feels sort of hackish if you know what I mean.

Some MXML attributes specify properties, some specify styles, some specify
event handler bodies, and some specify effects. (And some, like 'id', get
special handling.)

 

The programmatic way to set a property is

 

component.foo = bar;

 

The programmatic way to set a style or effect is

 

component.setStyle("foo", "bar");

 

The programmatic way to set an event handler is

 

component.addEventListener("foo", bar);

Well, I solved the problem by using
adgc.setStyle("headerStyleName","someStyle");  - however I'm still confused
as to how there are attributes you can specify in mxml that can't be set
programmatically.

I've encountered this elsewhere also - is it just a styles thing?

However, when I try to do it with actionscript:

var adgc:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn();

adgc.headerStyleName = "someStyle";

I get the error that headerStyleName is not defined on

Huh?

Dominique's approach is the correct one.

 

The Flex framework calls the set data() method on every renderer anytime
the underlying data changes.  This is because renderers are recycled.

 

So your renderer always has a reference to the dataProvider item that is
behind it.  Use that reference to update the item.

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any delay built into the grid that would
slow the transition from a renderer to an editor. Clicking in the
grid doesn't result in an instant transition. I've got a client who
is a fast typist and the delay when switching is causing problems. Is
that a style thing, or does it switch as fast as Flex can.

Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid data accessed from Item renderer

[mydarkspoon]

Hi Mark,

your item renderer should not be worried about saving data, but
instead notifying an higher level view about the user request to save
the user interaction.
You can either bubble an event to be catched by one of its parent or
if the right component to perform the operation is the renderer direct
parent, use the outerDoceumtn.publicFunctionNameGoesHere() to avoid
unneeded bubbling.

combobox. But what do I do to store new value from Combo into DG's
dataProvider for the following data save to the server? 

What is an actual design pattern for that?

 

Thanks much for help.

[flexcoders] DataGrid data accessed from Item renderer

[markgoldin_2000]

This is a combobox change event handler used as an itemRenderer in 
DataGrid:
public function handleDataChanged(event:ListEvent):void 
{   
// update underlying data
data.person = selectedItem.data; 
// Globally store updated row
mx.core.Application.application.globalDataToSave = data;
}   

I am also trying to create a generic Save routine. For that I am using 
globalDataProviderToSave to "remember" the modified data. But the user 
can change multiple rows in the grids before he clicks on Save. I need 
to store the whole grid data into globalDataProviderToSave to be able 
to save all rows. How can I access it from within item renderer every 
time the user changes data? Differnet ideas?

Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Re: removeEventHandler

[mark goldin]

What I am trying to do is to have a generic Save button that will save data to 
the server. So, when a module is loaded it attaches its own handler with a 
logic specific to that module. Next module will atach another save handle, so I 
thought it would have been a good idea to remove previous handler.

I am trying to center a popup window on the application from an

It looks like it centers it with the TileList but not with the

I've found different places on the interweb but none of them work.

They reference: DisplayObject(Application.application.parentDocument),
this.parent, etc...and they give me the same results.

Here is my code:

private function showPic():void {
var author:String = data.author;
//var newPicWindow:TitleWindow =
TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, bigPic, true));
var newPicWindow:TitleWindow =
TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(Application.application.mainPanel,

newPicWindow.data = data;

RE: [flexcoders] setting mxml attributes in actionscript when those properties don't exist

[Gordon Smith]

Some MXML attributes specify properties, some specify styles, some
specify event handler bodies, and some specify effects. (And some, like
'id', get special handling.)
 
The programmatic way to set a property is
 
component.foo = bar;
 
The programmatic way to set a style or effect is
 
component.setStyle("foo", "bar");
 
The programmatic way to set an event handler is
 
component.addEventListener("foo", bar);

[flexcoders] Re: Can Flex save anything to desktop or only AIR?

[rueter007]

not really. it is much simple. 

  var appUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
  appUrl.url = "http://blah.com/blah/blahblah";;
  appUrl.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
  
  var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
  variables.data = data;// file data
  variables.fName = name;// file name
  variables.fType = type;// file type  ex: text/csv
  appUrl.data = variables;
  
  flash.net.navigateToURL(appUrl, "_top");

you will send the data to the server and let the browser handle the
data that is returned. you do not have to wait for the data to
download or anything else. your job is done right here.
SharedObjects are not an ideal solution for this case.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Can Flex save anything to desktop or only AIR?

[ben gomez farrell]

It doesn't really have to be that many steps, but you're essentially 
correct.
You can send the binary data to the server via a POST, and the result of 
the POST call can be a "save to:" link.
But yes, it has to go all the way up to the server and back down.  My 
point is that it can all be part of the same web call.

[flexcoders] Re: Solutions for provide a secure access to a Web-Service using Flex

[João]

We are dealing with one huge client that provides technological
solutions based on SAP and .NET. They hired us for developing the
presentation layer, and it's damn difficult to make them change the
way they work, even if we know that they aren't making the best
decisions. 
Anyway, i don't see how changing from web-services to flash remoting
would solve the problem. It's still a SOA architecture, with exposed
services, and the only difference is that the data is transferred in
binary (but not difficult to be interpreted - even more now with the
release of the AMF specification).
PKI seems to be the solution, but our expertise is not security. Also,
i  have doubts on:

1- Does Flex has tools to deal with this kind of things?
2- From what i recall, PKI needs a private key on both sides. This
would mean that the key was hard-coded on the Flash Client.

I am thinking on something simple like:

1- The client communicates with a web-service requesting access
2- The server initiates a session, returning a random string
3- The client runs some kind of algorithm, made by us, to "encrypt"
the string, and returns it. Or, it uses a known algorithm that
encrypts the string using a keyword.
4- The server runs the same algorithm on the string, and compares the
result with the returned encrypted string. If they are the same, the
session changes it's state to validated, allowing access to the
web-services. If not, the session is terminated.

This is far from being perfect, and far from being secure because the
client could be decompiled and the "encryption" algorithm could be
easily broken, but at least it would be a bit more reliable than
having the web-service completely exposed. We are dealing here with
probabilities...

What do you think?

RE: [flexcoders] Can Flex save anything to desktop or only AIR?

[Samuel R. Neff]

You can save to a local shared object (see SharedObject.getLocal()) but not
to a file or format of your choosing.  Also there's a strict limit on how
much data you can store (which the user can change).

LSO is like a cookie on steroids.

For anything other than that you need AIR or any of the other desktop
wrappers for Flash/Flex.

[flexcoders] Datagrid delay from renderer to editor mode

[j_lentzz]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any delay built into the grid that would
slow the transition from a renderer to an editor.  Clicking in the
grid doesn't result in an instant transition.  I've got a client who
is a fast typist and the delay when switching is causing problems. Is
that a style thing, or does it switch as fast as Flex can.

Thanks,

[flexcoders] LogTarget filter for custom MXML components

[jkahn_117]

I would like to enable logging from custom MXML components without
seeing log messages from Flex components (in the mx.* namespace).

In other words, I would like my FooPanel component to log messages,
but not the RemoteObject component.  To make this work, I have need to
set the LogTarget filter to "*", instead of something like
"foo.mycomponents.*".  This works as expected for all AS classes.

Am I missing something? Is there a way to define a package/namespace
for MXML that can be referenced from the filter?

Hi all,

FYI, i released a new build of FZip (1.0.055)

http://codeazur.com.br/lab/fzip/

This new build fixes compiler errors in non-AIR projects and development 
environments and adds new API functions to create/modify ZIP archives 
(addFile, addFileAt, addFileFromString, addFileFromStringAt, 
removeFileAt, serialize).

FZip is an AS3 class library to load, modify and create standard ZIP 
archives. FZip parses ZIP archives progressively, allowing access to 
contained files while the archive is loading.

if that's all your doing, then could you not expose an API specfic to
the purpose and use a different protocol, for instance AMF via RPC for

trivial re-factoring of existing server code.

[flexcoders] Re: how to pass varible between screens?

[simonjpalmer]

Can't you do this...

put your ViewStack in a control and put a bindable variable in that
control and each of the FormXView controls as well

e.g...

and in each of the ViewXControls script blocks...

[Bindable] public var my_var_ref:String;

and in the enclosing control...





  
  
  
...


Operate on my_var_ref in each of the views and binding will make sure
the value is transferred to the my_var_ref control variables.

If you want to take it a step further and have a genuine app wide
singleton you can put my_var on your app and either add a public
static getInstance() method to your app or refer to it through
myApp(Application.application).my_var;

do you have a different namespace for your datagrid in mxml? use the

[flexcoders] Re: setting mxml attributes in actionscript when those properties don't exist

[rueter007]

the styles and events can be set in mxml if they are defined using the
Style and Event metadata tag (This is just for convenience). However,
in actionscript, they should still use the setStyle method to do so.

RE: [flexcoders] setting mxml attributes in actionscript when those properties don't exist

[Seth Caldwell]

Well, I solved the problem by using
adgc.setStyle("headerStyleName","someStyle");  - however I'm still confused
as to how there are attributes you can specify in mxml that can't be set
programmatically.

I've encountered this elsewhere also - is it just a styles thing?

[flexcoders] Getting all XML child elements ...

[dan_of_philly]

Hey,

I'm trying to get all the child nodes for an element in an XML tree
given a node passed to a function as a string.

For example, given the xml:



...
...
...


...
...
...



that is stored in say : var xml XMLList = " ..."

and I have a function trying to return all the child nodes when given
a certain element, how would I get the child nodes ? xml.. doesnt
work if its a string.

public function getChildNodes( name:String):XMLList
{
var x:XMLList = xml..name ; // doesnt work ! Looks for 'name' node
return x;
}

Assuming name:String = "sec" , I would want the function to return:

"
...
...
...
"

Is the only answer to iterate through the entire tree ? That seems
ridiculous ! I have a large xml tree, so I really dont want to
iterate through it each time.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

[flexcoders] Flex Builder 3 beta 3 - Drag and Drop no longer works

[Andrew Jones]

Hello - 
I have 2 flex projects (built in Flex Builder 3 beta 2) that both use
a lot of drag/drop in the application.  This morning I upgraded to
Flex Builder 3 beta 3, and now I get an error everytime I click on an
object to initiate a drag.  The error in the console is as follows:
undefined

I use the statement like

  It should look more like:

  filePrefix = ModelLocator.getInstance().sID; 

  Check out singletons again!

Of course, if you've done this:

modelLocator = ModelLocator.getInstance();

then your example should work if the property sID is bindable. Did you get any 
warnings about bindings?

[flexcoders] Re: Accordion, the FlexEvent.SHOW isn't fired the first time a panel is shown

[ben.clinkinbeard]

I would listen for the change event of the parent component (TN has
one, I assume Accordian is the same) and just track if its the first
time a component has become active. You could also listen for the
creationComplete event of each child, though I am not sure of the
specifics off the top of my head to access the yet-to-be-created
children's creationComplete events.

Look into the PropertyChangeEvent or Watcher.

If your Model is bindable, a PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE is dispatched 
every time a bindable class property changes.

[flexcoders] Re: Accordion, the FlexEvent.SHOW isn't fired the first time a panel is shown

[rueter007]

Hey, all these containers(TabNavigator, accordion etc) fire a change
event when the current tab changes. 

I would add the following event handler for the creation complete event.

  private function handleCreationComplete(): void
  {
if(TabNavigator(this.parent).selectedChild == this)
{
  handleTabChange();
}
else
{
  TabNavigator(this.parent).addEventListener('change',
handleTabChange);
}
  }

In the handleTabChange(), I would check if this is the first time this
child is visible by maintaining a class level variable and set it to
true the first time this function is called.

HTH.

[flexcoders] Accordion, the FlexEvent.SHOW isn't fired the first time a panel is shown

[dave_defusion]

I'm trying to add something into a panel in an accordion, I'm using
the FlexEvent.SHOW to add the contents once the panel is displayed
(this works pretty much everywhere else - e.g. a tab navigator). In my
case trying to add the contents to a non visible element doesn't work
(as I'm trying to get bitmap data), so I have to wait until they're
visible before I can add my stuff. 

But in the Accordion it appears the FlexEvent.SHOW isn't fired the
first time a panel is shown (the event listener added to the VBox that
wraps panels content) -- it's fired the second time the panel is shown
but never on the first time. I've tried listening for
FlexEvent.INITIALIZE but that seems to be firing a little too early
for what I'm doing.

Basically all I need to know is as soon as a given panels content is
displayed. I'd like a one solution fits all so for tab navigators etc.
I only want to add my content when a non visible element becomes
visible, but failing that I can add a specific workaround (if it's
possible) to make it handle accordions different.

Any ideas?

Hope that makes sense.

RE: [flexcoders] Stylesheet to AS3 App?

[Alex Harui]

I wouldn't say it isn't possible, just very hard.  If you build a simple
mx:Application with the MXMLC option -keep-generated-actionscript,
you'll see how much code the compiler generates to get the styles
working for you.  You can certainly manually duplicate all of that
yourself.

[flexcoders] Re: Solutions for provide a secure access to a Web-Service using Flex

[João]

First of all, thank you for you suggestions. This module doesn't imply
a user login. It's a tool available to everyone that let's the visitor
fill a form, and at the end the module will offer a list of services
depending on the data provided. 
You could easily ask: "so, if the module is publicly accessible, why
wouldn't the web-service be also available if both provide the same
data?". The question here is that, among other things, the client
doesn't want other providers to use it's service. 

Having the key hard-coded on the client application, even if
encrypted, wouldn't solve nothing since with a man on the middle
attack it would be possible to get the key and replicate it. 
I will read some documentation about public key infrastructures, and i
guess i will find easily a teorical solution from what i recall from
what i've learned on university. But what i need to know is if Adobe
Flex has tools (on the SDK, or others available as open-source) to
help us solve this kind of problems. And also, if there is some
documentation or examples available on the internet around this
subject for the flash platform.

Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid question

[rueter007]

Not sure if this is the right way, but it definitely works.

There are two protected methods inside the DataGrid that are
responsible for drawing the selection and highligting.

drawHighlightIndicator
drawSelectionIndicator.

override these methods with blank implementation.

Subclass DataGrid and override selectItem, drawHighlightIndicator and
drawSelectionIndicator so that they do nothing.

Re: [flexcoders] Solutions for provide a secure access to a Web-Service using Flex

[Frederico Garcia]

I think the best way would be implementing some kind of handshake protocol.
There are plenty of encryption algorithms available. You could save the
passwords encrypted (using sha1) on the DB and then just send it encrypted
on every request. On the server side you just had to check if there was any
matching password before you reply. Still subject to brute force attacks,
but enough for most cases.

Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid question

Would defining a new methiod, then calling super.dataGrid() work?

Im starting to get into the Flex side of AS3, right now all I have is the
OOP side of flash. So I don't know the method calls yet. :P

[flexcoders] New Two-way Binding Metatag??

[t0ml33]

Hey everyone,

A month or so ago I came across a blog posting regarding a new metatag 
or maybe a change to [Bindable] that added support for two-way bindings 
in Flex 3.  Now I can't find it anywhere...  Did I hallucinate that, or 
did you guys see it too?

Thanks!

Hi,

maybe you could use some kind of handshake protocol. There are plenty
key based encryption algorithms. On the request you could encrypt the
username and on server side decrypt and check if the username was
valid. Still vulnerable to brute force attacks, but enough for most cases.

maybe the easy way is changing the style. Just make your highlight
colors the same has the alternate colors.

[flexcoders] DataGrid question

[djhatrick]

I asked a while back and didn't see an example of how to override the
method that selects an item in a datagrid, or for mouseovers for that
reason. I am using a datagrid in an application, and it's a dummy
datagrid just shows data - I don't want to select anything or
highlight anything.

Some typos in the site, but the functionality looks good.

   - Company info page: Text should be left justified, not full, to get a
   better display. Text "making the company's position more stronger in the

If you give me a login, I would be happy to proofread all pages.

RE: [flexcoders] Stylesheet to AS3 App?

[Samuel R. Neff]

As Alex implied, CSS support is provided by the Flex framework, not Flash
player.  If you don't use the Flex framework, then you can't use CSS other
than specifically within Flash's built-in text boxes.

RE: [flexcoders] Connecting Flex with SQL Server

[Samuel R. Neff]

If you're calling out to a service then by definition you have a server side
application running which exactly was what the MSSQL-HTTP stuff is trying to
avoid (and to reiterate, it's not a good, using a server side application is
best like .NET, Java, CF, PHP, whatever).

You could call out to a service to pick up the username and password

RE: [flexcoders] Re: SWF File Size

[Samuel R. Neff]

Actually if you want to use them in Flash then I think the first method I
mentioned of using an ActionScript project is the only option.  Flash CS3
has it's own framework that is not compatible with the Flex framework and
thus if you want to create components for Flash you need to use the Flash
framework, which you can do from an ActionScript project but not from a Flex
project.

Sounds like too much trouble to me though.. personally I would stick with
one or the other (with Flex being my strong preference).

HTH,

Thanks for the very detailed response. Initially, I am trying to
create some components in Flex and use them (import) in Flash, thus
the reason for the small file size. As I am sure you are aware, they
stripped a lot of the better/more used components(IMO) out of CS3. I

[flexcoders] Solutions for provide a secure access to a Web-Service using Flex

[João]

Hi, 

we are building an enterprise application using Flex. One module of
the application will be accessible on the internet so users can access
some data from the main system, without requiring a login.

This module communicates with a web-service. It is already finished
and working fine, but the client needs to make sure that the
web-service is only accessible to our specific Flash client. Other
clients should not be able to request data from the web-service, since
it might compromise the business behind it.

If there isn't a "perfect" solution, our client is not worried with
the fact that SWF's can be decompiled, so there is a possibility to
have something like a "key" hard-coded on the flash module, and a way
to use encription to respond to a challenge made by the server -
avoiding at least man on the middle attacks, i guess.
Some years ago i have studied a bit of public key infrastructures, but
never applied it on a project.

I am far from being expert on security, but this is really important,
since without a rather reasonable solution a big part of the project
will be useless.

What solutions do you propose? Does Flex have some kind of tools to
solve this problems?

Thanks, 

João Saleiro
