[flexcoders] Re: Plot Chart drag drop

[simonjpalmer]

yes.

Write yourself a custom renderer for the data points in your chart
which traps the start of the drag.  Add drag and drop handlers to your
chart.  On drop inspect what is being dropped and where the drop
happened, convert into data coordinates, update the data accordingly
and refresh your chart.

All the drag drop stuff is very well documented.  Converting from
screen to data is possible on your chart via several mechanisms.  Data
binding should take care of refreshing your chart.

[flexcoders] NumericStepper Total

[JRBower]

Yesterday I could learn how to display the total for 5 NumericSteppers in a
Label:

For example:

//  private function stepperSumFun( val1:int, val2:int, val3:int, val4:int,
val5:int):String 
//  { 
//  return (val1+val2+val3+val4+val5).toString(); 
//  }

//


However, I would like to be able to display the total in a (6th)
NumericStepper. 

I tried changing String to Number but it didn't work. How do I get this to
work?

Thanks,

James

RE: [flexcoders] More control over datagrid? Put headings on the LHS instead of the top?

Check out OLAPDataGrid.  It might handle pivots.

Right, so that's a "no" on the pivot then. Cheers. Are there any articles out 
there on runtime manipulation of datagrids, or should I just hit the docs and 
start experimenting?

Everything the DataGrid component does can be controlled at runtime.

Yes.

What do you mean by "appears as columns"? A DataGrid appears as a rectangular 
matrix of cells. The columns can have headers. Row headers are not supported.

Hi guys,

I'm wondering about how much run-time control you have over a data grid? Can 
you add rows / columns at runtime? Also, is it possible to sort of pivot a 
table 90º anti-clockwise so instead of defining columns, you define rows, and 
your data appears as columns instead of rows? 

It's awfully hard to google up some advanced datagrid topics without just 
getting half-finished docs on the new "advanced datagrid" :D

Not sure I explained that very well, if not let me know and I'll try and expand 
on it a bit... 

Cheers,
-Josh

RE: [flexcoders] Re: HierarchicalCollectionViewCursor

[Alex Harui]

The ADG will create the cursor, you don't do it yourself unless you also
need to walk the collection.  Your largeObject is really an array and is
not hierarchical so creating the proper IHD implementation will be
trickier but doable I think.

Re: [flexcoders] So You Want To Hire a SWF Developer?

[Joseph Balderson]

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm aware that Flex components can be skinned; what was mentioned was 
"The Flex 2 components, by contrast, must be "styled" with CSS as 
opposed to skinned" -- I should have been more specific in my language 
and said that Flex components are "more easily styled than skinned."

Though there have been great strides made in the Flex3/Flash CS3 
workflow, Flex components are still "styling-oriented," and for that 
reason "Flash Developers" will choose the CS3 components over the Flex 
ones if they can.

Thanks for pointing that out though.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Exit

[Savan Patel]

Hi Alger,
   
 Thanks :) 

This thread is about manual Exit issue.  Can have same thing for forcefull exit 
as well? 
for example: When user closes/refreshes the browser without logging out, we 
need to perform forcefull logout to end that particular session.

While I worked on the item, I was calling a JS function on 
"window.onbeforeunload" event, which shall transfer the call to flex's logout 
function. But it did not helped me to resolve the issue. 
I did not come to know where I was wrong, in making a call or in accessing 
flex's code.

** If we add any JS functions in "index.template.html" and compile the code, 
All the flex classes can acces that JS function without importing anything, 
right? Please let me know about this.
 
Thanks Again,
Savan

Sorry, Tom, but care to elaborate on any of those assertions?

1. I *did* post example code in as small a footprint as I could that

[flexcoders] Plot Chart drag drop

[nasawebguy]

Can you drag n' drop OR "move" a data point from one place to another
inside a chart and have it update the chart and dataprovider?

For example, if my x-axis is date, and a datapoint sits at 1/9/2008,
and the user moves that datapoint to 2/9/2009, the chart/dataProvider
would update the new date for the selectedItem?

It is difficult to debug problems when you bind directly to lastResult.  
Instead, use a result handler, in which you can inspect yur data.

Re: [flexcoders] More control over datagrid? Put headings on the LHS instead of the top?

Right, so that's a "no" on the pivot then. Cheers. Are there any articles
out there on runtime manipulation of datagrids, or should I just hit the
docs and start experimenting?

What do you mean by "appears as columns"? A DataGrid appears as a rectangular

Hi guys,

I'm wondering about how much run-time control you have over a data grid? Can 
you add rows / columns at runtime? Also, is it possible to sort of pivot a 
table 90º anti-clockwise so instead of defining columns, you define rows, and 
your data appears as columns instead of rows? 

It's awfully hard to google up some advanced datagrid topics without just 
getting half-finished docs on the new "advanced datagrid" :D

Yes.

You can use flash.media.SoundChannel.leftPeak and
flash.media.SoundChannel.rightPeak for simple volume. To do something
more complicated use flash.media.SoundMixer.computeSpectrum()

[flexcoders] Can't set ContextMenuItem's submenu property?

[Vijay Ganesan]

The API docs for flash.ui.ContextMenuItem show a submenu property.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex3/langref/flash/ui/ContextMenuItem.html)

But when I try to set it for my custom menu item instance, I get a
compilation error:
"Access of possibly undefined property submenu through a reference
with static type flash.ui:ContextMenuItem."

Any idea why I can't use this property to create sub-menus similar to
the built-in Quality menu item's Low, Medium, High submenu items?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Manual refresh nested collection in LCDS managed object

[Jeff Vroom]

If you make a change to the collection property on the client side, we
queue an "update" message for the parent item of that collection.  This
update will send down the entire collection, then push it to other
clients even if you only added or removed one item from the collection.
If your collection property is lazy="true" we only push around the ids
of the elements in the collection.


If you change a property of an item in a collection and that collection
is a managed association, we only send the update for the item in the
collection.  The parent item is not affected.  

 

This does make collection properties somewhat inefficient when dealing
with large collections.  We have an alternative way of doing updates to
collection properties coming out in the next release where we send
around incremental changes. 

 

The ArrayCollection.refresh method is (I think) just about updating the
client side sort and filters.  It won't go back to the server.  You'd
have to call getItem or fill again for the parent item to refresh the
child collection's membership.  To refresh individual items in the
collection you can call getItem on them.

I am curious to how this works internally. If I make a change to a
collection (or an item in the collection) on the actionscript side,
when that change is made on the server does the whole collection get
refreshed OR just the single object that I made the change to.

Also, I am assuming that when I call someArrayCollection.refresh() on
the client that this does NOT signal a refresh of data from the
server. I would have to do something more substantial to actually
signal a reload of the current data from the server (like change some
data)... correct?

I guess I am trying to figure out the expected behavior when trying to
managed objects/collections on the client with autosync vs. manual sync.

I am curious to how this works internally.  If I make a change to a
collection (or an item in the collection) on the actionscript side,
when that change is made on the server does the whole collection get
refreshed OR just the single object that I made the change to.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Manual refresh nested collection in LCDS managed object

[Jeff Vroom]

Yes, that is in Java.  If you are in ActionScript, usually you have the
collection property on the client already and so just make a change to
it using the collection apis.  When you commit, it should apply those
changes on the server.  

 

I started to answer your next question a few times and each time
realized my answer would probably get me in trouble with corporate :-)

Sounds like this needs to be done in Java correct? Is there a way to
do a refresh from actionscript?

Also you have mentioned some new features (destination inheritance!)
for the next version. Is there a target date for that yet OR info
anywhere as to what the planned feature are?

Thanks! - Kevin

[flexcoders] LinkButton textSelectedUpColor ???

[Kevin]

I have a link button set to toggle and I would like to set the text
color to be different when it has been selected.  

I can set textSelectedColor, but that only shows when the mouse is
down.  It seems like I need a textSelectedUpColor and
textSelectedOverColor in the same way there is a selectedUpIcon and a
selectedOverIcon. 

Am I missing something here?

RE: [flexcoders] Using the Flex Component Kit in an ActionScript project

[Alex Harui]

In Flex apps, the protocol is that parents size their children.  You'll
probably have to set the size and position of the component.

Hello all,

I am trying to use the Flex Component Kit to export some graphics drawn
in Flash CS3 to 
an ActionScript p! roject in Flex and I can't get it to work. 

Here's what I'm doing:
In Flash:
1. Creating an MC symbol in Flash.
2. Giving it name="SomeName", class="SomeName", and base 
class="mx.flash.UIMovieClip".
3. Right-clicking on the symbol in the library and exporting it as an
SWC file called 
"SomeNameUIMC.swc".
In Flex Builder:
4. Creating a new ActionScript project with main application file
"SomeOtherName.as".
5. Importing the SWC file to the library path.
6. Creating a new class called "SomeName.as" which extends
"mx.flash.UIMovieClip".
7. Instancing "SomeName" in "SomeOtherName" and adding it to the canvas.

Now when I run this, I don't get any compilation errors, but the display
is blank. I don't 
think my SWC file is being linked to the class, but I don't see any info
on h! ow to do this. All 
the tutorials I found online are using mxmlc, so is it possible that the
Component Kit only 
works with Flex projects? If not, does anyone have any examples working
on ActionScript 
projects or can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the help,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: XML List problems

[Alger Werft]

To clarify:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex3/langref/mx/rpc/http/mxml/HTTPService.html

There's a lastResult property but no result!

There's a result event which is fired when the HTTP response is loaded.
This event has a result property.

What's the structure of your XML?

Hey Mark,
 
You can use the following:
 
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test.htm");
 request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
 var urlVars : URLVariables = new URLVariables();
 urlVars.username = "theUsername";
 request.data = urlVars; 
 navigateToURL(request,"_blank");
 
Just substitute your own vars in where appropriate.

Cheers

[flexcoders] Re: Repeater problem

[Merrill, Jason]

Thanks - I suspected it was something like that too.

However, you're using all Actionscript examples, I'm declaring my
databinding in the MXML:



The data _user.skills array is created on ApplicationComplete - I'm not
sure how to setup the data before, and then set the dataprovider in the
MXML.  The only way I can imagine is doing it all in Actionscript, which
I could do, but why should I have to?  It seems to be a common thing to
bind actionscript data to components declared with MXML, no?

at ::ModuleInfo/completeHandler()

This does not seem to be impede functionality. If I am using the 
debugger version of Flash Player, I just click "Continue" and 
continue.

When I try to "Open Type" in Flex Builder, it says "Source could not 
be found for mx.modules.ModuleInfo in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex 
Builder 2 Plug-in\Flex SDK 2\frameworks\libs\flex.swc".

I also cannot find documentation for this class online or in the 
source folder of my SDK installation. Since there is no stack trace 
given, it seems anyone's guess as to why this is occurring.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

[flexcoders] Re: Manual refresh nested collection in LCDS managed object

[Kevin]

Sounds like this needs to be done in Java correct?  Is there a way to
do a refresh from actionscript?

Also you have mentioned some new features (destination inheritance!)
for the next version.  Is there a target date for that yet OR info
anywhere as to what the planned feature are?

Thanks!  - Kevin

[flexcoders] Re: Using the Flex Component Kit in an ActionScript project

[ola.muldal]

Instead of manually checking SWC in setting, select your desired
MovieClip in the library, and use the menu "Commands -> Convert Symbol
to Flex Component" (or Container).

The first time you do this, Flash will set the proper settings.

[flexcoders] Binding a function to a Button's label

[Mogos Sebastian]

Hi,

Can you please help me on how to generate the following behavior from mxml
to an AS class:



to

var theNewButton:Button = new Button();
theNewButton.label = I18nManager.getInstance().getValue("button.new");
//add here the binding instead of the upper code. I really don't know how
this can be done with BindingUtils (if it can be done)

Also I want to mention that the getValue function is binded to an event.

[Bindable(event="i18nItemsGathered")]
   public function getValue(key:String):String
   {
   var theValue:String = i18nKeys[key];
   return theValue != null? theValue: key;
   }

I have user this for internationalization, the event is generated when the
language is changed/set (all i18nKeys are gathered).

Adding the button in an MXML works fine, but adding it in AS doesn't.

I really appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Sebastian

RE: [flexcoders] Menu Seprator color

[Deepa Subramaniam]

You can specify a skin that the Menu uses as the separator. Check out
the separatorSkin style. There are examples of how to create graphical
skins (using Flash, Fireworks, etc) or programmatic skins (creating an
ActionScript file that draws the skin via the Flash drawing API) in the
Flex documentation - you then set the separatorSkin style to that skin. 


Also, this is a pretty expensive way to set styles on your Menu
instance. You should look into using CSS to specify your Menu's look and
feel.

RE: [flexcoders] Manual refresh nested collection in LCDS managed object

[Jeff Vroom]

You can use the method DataServiceTransaction.updateItem(..) to update
association properties as well.  You need to create an instance of the
parent object, fully populate the association property with the new
values, then specify the property name (or names) you changed in the
"changes" parameter.   You can supply null for the previous item of
course unless you want to do conflict detection.  

 

We're adding better support for incremental updates of association
properties in general in the next version.

Subject: [flexcoders] Manual refresh nested collection in LCDS managed

I am wondering if there is a way to manually refresh a nested
collection from the server. If I have an object with nested
collections, I know how to refresh the collection holding the parent
object, but is there a way to refresh just the object OR just a
collection inside the object.

All my collections have association destinations, but the nested
collections are filled automatically from the parent object and not
from an explicit call that we make so I am not sure how best to
refresh them manually if needed.

I assume there is something basic here I am missing.

Thank you Abdul for your reply to this problem. 

If I copy and paste the url I still get the popup but as soon as I
enter the user and password it will let me through. But If I go
through the flex app then it will never validate and I will have to
click cancel which throws a 403 error. 

My goal is to try and have flex control the browser and let flex
control 403's and so on. I have read your blog post on controlling
HTTP requests but have not been able to get it to work.

Any other ideas that you have would be great.

Hello all,

I am trying to use the Flex Component Kit to export some graphics drawn
in Flash CS3 to 
an ActionScript project in Flex and I can't get it to work. 

Here's what I'm doing:
In Flash:
1. Creating an MC symbol in Flash.
2. Giving it name="SomeName", class="SomeName", and base 
class="mx.flash.UIMovieClip".
3. Right-clicking on the symbol in the library and exporting it as an
SWC file called 
"SomeNameUIMC.swc".
In Flex Builder:
4. Creating a new ActionScript project with main application file
"SomeOtherName.as".
5. Importing the SWC file to the library path.
6. Creating a new class called "SomeName.as" which extends
"mx.flash.UIMovieClip".
7. Instancing "SomeName" in "SomeOtherName" and adding it to the canvas.

Now when I run this, I don't get any compilation errors, but the display
is blank. I don't 
think my SWC file is being linked to the class, but I don't see any info
on how to do this. All 
the tutorials I found online are using mxmlc, so is it possible that the
Component Kit only 
works with Flex projects? If not, does anyone have any examples working
on ActionScript 
projects or can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the help,

-Elie

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Setter question

[Alex Harui]

As long as you're happy...

 

I don't understand how you can expect to choose an item from a
dataprovider if the dataprovider isn't already set.  If you're seeing
the dp change before the selected item is set, that implies that you are
not setting the selectedItem in the same "script" as when the
dataprovider is set.  Flash/Flex is a deferred rendering environment.

Yes, I am basically doing the same.
But I can't agree that DP must be set first. Maybe from Flex's point 
of view it does, but not from the user's. 
If you set DP first and then load your form's data then for a short 
period of time(and maybe not really short) you will see wrong values 
(actually first items) in all your combos till form is loaded. Not

RE: [flexcoders] Massive Error for login script

When you put up the popup, execution does not stop like it does in other
environments so the next lines of code might run and end up calling the
webservice.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - RemoteObject request timeout

[Robert Brueckmann]

Well, just for anyone interested, I did a little more digging and there
is an Apache-Weblogic connector that is used and there are settings for
this connector:

 

http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/plugins/plugin_params.html

 

The one of interest for those with similar setups is 'WLIOTimeoutSecs'.
The default is 5 minutes, any request that takes longer is considered
timed out and I guess a 503 (?) status is sent to Flex but Flex isn't
catching this and just acts like it's still waiting for a response.  I
changed this setting to 10 minutes and the process that was previously
finishing past 5 minutes still takes the same amount of time but Flex
app regains control now because the request hadn't timed out.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - RemoteObject request timeout

 

We still support a Flex 1.5 app I wrote 3 years ago that our clients use
to run reports with.  I'm in the midst of upgrading the entire app to
Flex 2+, but of course the db people keep adding reports and one
recently added report is for the admin-side only and is a crude report
that can sometimes take over 5 minutes to return from the database with
data.

 

We have a setup as follows: Apache + Weblogic + firewall + Oracle
database.  Here's the weird thing...if only one person runs the report
at any given time...it may take about 4.5 minutes, I see the call made
to the database, I watch the log and see after 4+ minutes, the call to
the stored procedure return to the application server and the original
method return to the front-end and Flex correctly displays the report.
If I open two browsers or have a coworker hit the report within a few
seconds of my initial request and these two requests are made, a.) the
call to the database takes a minute or so longer (I know the db people
need to optimize this, but this is what I'm dealing with up front) and
b.) I see it come back and the data returned to the front-end but the
Flex app on either my or my coworker's machine or either browser
(dependent on how I'm testing) does not get the returned response.  The
clock busy cursor just continues to spin.

 

I've searched the archives and it seems a few people have posted similar
problems but nobody has posted what their absolute resolution was.
Anyone know anything about this?  I literally see the data returned to
the Flex application in the app server log but my Cairngorm command
class result/fault handlers never capture anything and the busy cursor
just keeps spinning.  Anyone know anything about this or should I make
use of my Flex support contract?  Could this be a timeout between the
apache and weblogic layer?  I checked with the systems guys and they
claim that the request timeout feature of apache isn't being used but I
don't know if there is a default setting that apache uses...I guess I'll
check that out...but any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

Thanks so much for anything!

RE: [flexcoders] The 'right' way to do custom styles

[Gordon Smith]

> There was a long post (before Xmas) about the examples
> of custom styles on components on LiveDocs not actually working

If the doc examples don't work, I suggest that you file a bug to get
them fixed and instead look at the actual framework source code. You can
see exactly how our components implement styles that work properly and
require minimal implementation effort.

> I can't see why I'd prefer two files over one.

You should prefer declaring default styles in CSS because this can
produce smaller SWFs. If you instead write class initialization code to
create a CSSStyleDeclaration representing a default type selector for
your component, that code will get linked into your SWF even if it the
developer using your component writes her own type selector in CSS. If
you write your default type selector in CSS, that doesn't happen.

Also, writing a CSS selector is considerably simpler than writing the
ActionScript for a factory function for a CSSStyleDeclaration and
getting that CSSStyleDeclaration installed into the StyleManager.

> It wouldn't be much of a component if it had no children

A component can have children which can look at the component's styles
to determine how to draw themselves, without that component having to
override styleChanged(). You need to override styleChanged() only in
rarer cases, such as when changing the style requires new children to be
created or the child order to change. Take a look at the implementation
of styleChanged() in UIComponent to see what you get without overriding.
It has logic about when to call invalidateSize() and
invalidateDisplayList() on itself and its parent.

There was a long post (before Xmas) about the examples of custom styles

Nice to know, but I can't see why I'd prefer two files over one.

It wouldn't be much of a component if it had no children :-)

But, regardless of the impl. details, it's a tedious process that seems
to me 
to be automatable.

[flexcoders] Manual refresh nested collection in LCDS managed object

[Kevin]

I am wondering if there is a way to manually refresh a nested
collection from the server. If I have an object with nested
collections, I know how to refresh the collection holding the parent
object, but is there a way to refresh just the object OR just a
collection inside the object.

All my collections have association destinations, but the nested
collections are filled automatically from the parent object and not
from an explicit call that we make so I am not sure how best to
refresh them manually if needed.

I assume there is something basic here I am missing.

Thanks,

Kevin

Re: [flexcoders] crossdomain not working with HTTP Request Error

[Abdul Qabiz]

Not sure, Flash Player 9,0,115,0,  has some new rules for crossdomain data
and socket... Check out the security article:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_print.html

I doubt, does it have to do with port number. Remember,
www.yourserver.com:80 and yourserver.com:80 are considered to be two
different domains, you need to allow both of these in your crossdomain.xml

Re: [flexcoders] FLV dimensions from Flex or CF

[Abdul Qabiz]

FLV metadata contains it's dimensions, provided if right tool was used to
encode the video to FLV. In any case, you can use open-source tool called
flvtool2 (it's written in ruby and open-source) and hook it with your Upload
process, so you can run this tool on uploaded flv file. This way, you can
inject most of the metadata in flv and read it from Flex/ActionScript while
playback starts.

I am sure, there are such tools available in PHP/C#/Java, just search for
it. Burak (of ASV fame) has written FLVMDI, that can be used also along with
CFEXECUTE (if your are using windows as server), if you are using linux
based server, you might check for RUBY on your server and use flvtool2.

Re: [flexcoders] FileReferenceList for Downloads?

[Abdul Qabiz]

I think, it's not hard to build that using Flex? I would probably do this:-

1) Load a list of files in server-directory, in flex UI (pretty trivial
stuff).
2) Let user select bunch of items (shown in TileList or List or whatever
control)
3) Use FileReferenceList to initiate download

We should not forget that, Flash Player/AIR are client side runtimes.
Anything to do with server, you would need to write the logic. I remember,
from coldfusion management console, there was a java-applet that allowed you
to do that, but they would have done the similar thing as I mentioned
above...

Re: [flexcoders] Re: HTTPService, POST, and QueryString

[Abdul Qabiz]

If it's PHP on server, you can use $_REQUEST for POST or GET data.

Not sure, if URLLoader would let you load a URL with a query-string at the
same time posting the data to it?

Re: [flexcoders] Massive Error for login script

[Abdul Qabiz]

Probably, your login script on server-side is throwing some error when it
sees the wrong data...

What happens, if you copy paste URL in browser (not in flex app):-

https://mysite.net/interface.php?password=pass&customer=34343&username=wrong_name

Do you see any error?


BTW! Just a suggestion, nothing to do with this problem, it's not good idea
to use HTTP/GET for this purpose. Use POST method in HTTPService and also
modify the php to use $_POST or $_REQUEST (works for both GET and POST but
it's good to use the specific ones).

Re: [flexcoders] Populating comboBox

[Abdul Qabiz]

ComboBox or most of the list-base components expect label and data
properties in dataProvider. If your dataProvider has different properties,
you can use the labelField or labelFunction  fields to show the label (which
in this case is showing [Object Object]).

Check out the ComboBox (or Listbase) docs for more info. You can do the
following to make it work for now.

comboBoxInstance.labelField = "week";

Re: [flexcoders] can we control flashCS3 movies from flex

[Abdul Qabiz]

Is your SWF using ActionScript3? If yes, then you can pretty much control it
from Flex 2 application.

If it uses ActionScript 2, then you might consider using LocalConnection or
ExternInterface. AVM- (SWF which use ActionScript 2 or below)  and AVM+ (SWF
which uses ActionScript 3 or above) applications can not communicate with
each other except limited stuff, because each of these run different virtual
machines, as mentioned (AVM- and AVM+). There are only two ways:
LocalConnection and ExternalInterface.

Check out various libararies available, for example flashinteface:-

Re: [flexcoders] Binding to a property change in a collection

You'd better to check changes manually. COLLECTION_CHANGE is only to 
refresh screen renderering such as to display DataGrid with real values 
of collection, not means change of collection itself.

[flexcoders] Using the Flex Component Kit in an ActionScript project

[Elie Zananiri]

Hello all,

I am trying to use the Flex Component Kit to export some graphics drawn in 
Flash CS3 to 
an ActionScript project in Flex and I can't get it to work. 

Here's what I'm doing:
In Flash:
1. Creating an MC symbol in Flash.
2. Giving it name="SomeName", class="SomeName", and base 
class="mx.flash.UIMovieClip".
3. Right-clicking on the symbol in the library and exporting it as an SWC file 
called 
"SomeNameUIMC.swc".
In Flex Builder:
4. Creating a new ActionScript project with main application file 
"SomeOtherName.as".
5. Importing the SWC file to the library path.
6. Creating a new class called "SomeName.as" which extends 
"mx.flash.UIMovieClip".
7. Instancing "SomeName" in "SomeOtherName" and adding it to the canvas.

Now when I run this, I don't get any compilation errors, but the display is 
blank. I don't 
think my SWC file is being linked to the class, but I don't see any info on how 
to do this. All 
the tutorials I found online are using mxmlc, so is it possible that the 
Component Kit only 
works with Flex projects? If not, does anyone have any examples working on 
ActionScript 
projects or can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the help,

-Elie

[flexcoders] Combobox binding

[markgoldin_2000]

I am using Model to bind form's data to a combobox and trying to use 
same model to send modified data back. Here are some snippets:
Form:

  


Model:
private var _division:int = 0;
[Bindable]
public function get division():int
{
  return _division;
}
public function set division(division:int):void
{
  _division = division;
}
I also have code that will initially set the correct combo's value 
based on selectedIndex.
So, as far as I understand modelGeneral.division stores combo's 
selectedIndex during a time of user's interaction with the combobox.
But when I want to save I need to send to the server a value of a key 
field, not the selectedIndex. Do I need again manually code a change 
to modelGeneral.division in order to store actual data from the combo 
before data is sent to the server?

Thanks for help

[flexcoders] Re: Setter question

[markgoldin_2000]

Yes, I am basically doing the same.
But I can't agree that DP must be set first. Maybe from Flex's point 
of view it does, but not from the user's. 
If you set DP first and then load your form's data then for a short 
period of time(and maybe not really short) you will see wrong values 
(actually first items) in all your combos till form is loaded. Not 
big of a deal, but I dont like to see wrong data on the screen at all 
times.
I have got it working, it just more coding, that's all.

[flexcoders] Binding to a property change in a collection

[Kevin]

I am wondering how to approach the follow problem.  I have an object
which holds a collection of objects.  When one of the properties of
the first item in the collection changes, I want the getter to fire
for bind purposes.

My Object contains

-MyCollection which contains

--SomeProperty

I tried to do this:

MyCollection.addEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE,someFunction);

but COLLECTION_CHANGE only seems to fire when a collection is updated
(ie refreshed, add item, remove item)

What would I watch to get an event to fire when the SomeProperty is
changed?

I apologize if this has been covered before.  I couldn't find a post
that helped me.

Thanks, Kevin

[flexcoders] Populating comboBox

[candysmate]

I'm tring to populate a comboBox with

var dsWeek:Array = [];
[Bindable]
var dsWeekArray = new ArrayCollection(dsWeek);
var systemUtilitiesWeek:int = 35;

private function initDissection():void
{
dsWeekArray.addItem({week:"Select"});

for(var ds1:int = 1; ds1 <= systemUtilitiesWeek; ds1 ++)
   {
dsWeekArray.addItem({week: ds1});
   }
   
dsWeekArray.refresh();   
}

I'm expected the comboBox, with dataprovider set to {dsWeekArray}
to be:

Select
1
2
3
4
5
...

but it just says [Object, object]

Where have I gone wrong please?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: getting information about the last focussed object...

[Alex Harui]

Subclass panel and add the event metadata, or just use Actionscript to
register a listener.  The Panels themselves don't dispatch the event,
you are trying to catch it on the bubble from the children.

You might want to listen for collection events to make sure they are

Re: [flexcoders] what about xml?

[Paul Andrews]

Gustavo,

Flex can manipulate XML very well. What it cannot do is write xml files on the 
server. You can send xml data to the server using  flex and then use whatever 
server technology you wish to write that data as an xml file.

XML is not the same thing as SQL. XML is essentially a tree based structure 
while SQL manipulates tables of data. Commonly XML is used only to transfer 
information between the client and server. Usually XML requests from the flex 
client will be interpreted on the server and used to update an SQL database. 
Flex really doesn't care very much about the server technology when 
communication with XML.

>From your posts and the responses, it looks as though you are planning to use 
>one or more XML files as a database. You can certainly make this work, but 
>will have huge problems if your application will ever be used by more than one 
>user at a time. There are XML databases out there but I have yet to use one.

My advice would be to work through/read the many Flex tutorials out there so 
that you have a better idea about how XML usually fits in the Flex workflow. 
There are also a ton of books out there.

I think that jumping in too early on an ambitious project will be a big mistake.

[flexcoders] Re: content appearing in an Accordian container -WORK AROUND SOLUTION

[myasandy2]

I resolved this by making the container not visible. On creation 
complete, I jump to a function that:
sets the openDurartion to 001 and starts a timer. On each .1 sec, I 
select a new index until they are all selected. Then I select the first 
index again. When the timer is complete, I set the openDuration to the 
speed I wanted and make the container visible.

It is a bit of a work around, but it all works now with less than 2 sec 
load time.

Hope this helps someone else.

Re: [flexcoders] what about xml?

[Derrick Anderson]

i'm not exactly sure the level of complexity you need, but both flex and
coldfusion have the ability to natively work with XML, coldfusion is server
side, so it's very easy for CF to access the file system on the server and
save an XML file.  it's not 'automatic' by any means, i'm sure there is some
code in there behind the scenes in your blog that parses/creates xml and a
cffile call to save it to the server.  there is no single native function to
say "hey take this data structure here and save it as xml on the hard
drive".  you have to use the xml functions to create your xml document
first, then save it to the disk.

flex is client side, so it has similar abilities to work with xml, but it
has no access to the users directory structure (unless using AIR).  you
would need to communicate back to the server, send it the completed XML doc,
and have the server (maybe CF?) save that data back to the hard drive.

you say "order flex to write down and create tables and so forth into an xml
file,the same way as sql?", but i'm not sure what you are talking about with
SQL, flex can't communicate directly with a database (again, unless using
AIR and sqlLite).  unless there is some DAO or GUI tool you are using to
create sql, i don't know how that is 'automatic' either.

"and once the data is store in db.xml (example), there is a way to updated
those and also to include new ones."
again, yes it is possible- but it's not as easy as u might think it should
be.  you have to first read the file off the disk (cffile action="read") on
the server, then send that xml data back to the flex client.  from there you
can use e4x to update specific nodes, then you have to send the xml back to
the server to update the file on disk.

believe me, when Apollo was first released (pre-sqlLite days) i felt the
pain of working with xml databases and wished i could just use it like a
database and have some pseudo sql language that would interface with it, but
there isn't.

but then again, is XML a requirement? can you not use a real database?
(would be so much easier)

[flexcoders] ASDoc Problem

[cksachdev]

Hi to all,
I was trying to generate documentation using asdoc. The problem I am
facing is, I am using some libraries like gettext for which I don't
have swc file (I have the code itself). I want to exclude the
generation of those source files. Here is command I used to generate
documentation.

asdoc 
-source-path 
"../opensrc/gettext" 
"../opensrc/crypto" 
"../opensrc/utils" 
"." 
-doc-classes "com.readio.shell.storypets.comm.sfs.SFSService"
--external-library-path 
"..\lib" 
"E:\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\libs" 
"E:\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\libs\player"
"../opensrc/gettext" 
"../opensrc/crypto" 
"../opensrc/utils"

Please help me how I can exclude those source files in documentation.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: HTTPService, POST, and QueryString

[Jim Hayes]

I'm pretty sure that if you use POST in flex then you are going to have
to change your server to read the POSTed information rather than the
querystring.
That said, you don't mention what you're using on your server. In any
case, it's likely to be a fairly trivial change to implement assuming
that you have control over the server side code.

[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - RemoteObject request timeout

[Robert Brueckmann]

We still support a Flex 1.5 app I wrote 3 years ago that our clients use
to run reports with.  I'm in the midst of upgrading the entire app to
Flex 2+, but of course the db people keep adding reports and one
recently added report is for the admin-side only and is a crude report
that can sometimes take over 5 minutes to return from the database with
data.

 

We have a setup as follows: Apache + Weblogic + firewall + Oracle
database.  Here's the weird thing...if only one person runs the report
at any given time...it may take about 4.5 minutes, I see the call made
to the database, I watch the log and see after 4+ minutes, the call to
the stored procedure return to the application server and the original
method return to the front-end and Flex correctly displays the report.
If I open two browsers or have a coworker hit the report within a few
seconds of my initial request and these two requests are made, a.) the
call to the database takes a minute or so longer (I know the db people
need to optimize this, but this is what I'm dealing with up front) and
b.) I see it come back and the data returned to the front-end but the
Flex app on either my or my coworker's machine or either browser
(dependent on how I'm testing) does not get the returned response.  The
clock busy cursor just continues to spin.

 

I've searched the archives and it seems a few people have posted similar
problems but nobody has posted what their absolute resolution was.
Anyone know anything about this?  I literally see the data returned to
the Flex application in the app server log but my Cairngorm command
class result/fault handlers never capture anything and the busy cursor
just keeps spinning.  Anyone know anything about this or should I make
use of my Flex support contract?  Could this be a timeout between the
apache and weblogic layer?  I checked with the systems guys and they
claim that the request timeout feature of apache isn't being used but I
don't know if there is a default setting that apache uses...I guess I'll
check that out...but any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

Thanks so much for anything!

[flexcoders] Controlling LinearAxis

[atlantageek]

Hi,
I'm building a few charts with LinearAxis and DateTimeAxis as my
horizontal Axis on a chart. I would like to force the maximum and
minimum values to be painted on the axis.  Anyone have a suggestion on
how to do this?

[flexcoders] POSTing to ASP

[markgoldin_2000]

service = new HTTPService();
service.method = "POST";
service.url = "SomeASPpage;
service.resultFormat="e4x";
service.send(xmlData);

What exactly is available on the server?
Does Flex do HTTP Submit? Does it create Form collection?
Where in the docs I can take a look for this?

Can I do this on the server:
loObjDom = CREATEOBJECT("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument")
loObjDom.load(Request) which should give me my xml data?
Where Request is the IIS Request Object.

Thanks for any help.
