Re: [flexcoders] Re: Binding ValueObjects

[tim]

Hi,

I don't know if this helps, but what I've done in the past is to bind the
VO and then if I need to update it I had the same problem you were talking
about.  I would change the value, but the VO wouldn't change as the
binging goes from the VO to the component, not the other way around.  My
little work around was to have a function similar to this (assuming the VO
is called 'voToChange' of type 'VO')

private function update():void
{
 var holderVO:VO = voToChange;
 voToChange = new VO();
 voToChange = holderVO;
}

This then changes the VO so the change will go back to the component. 
Alternatively if you want to set something on the VO you could change the
function to somethign like

private function setSomthing(something:Object):void
{
voToChange.propertyToChange = something;
//Call the update function
update();
}

I hope I haven't completely misunderstood what you are having problems with.

Luck,

Tim

Try customizing your renderer to add the padding there.

RE: [flexcoders] Application domain and Modules

[Alex Harui]

Modules require sharing interfaces at minimum.  The module manager
expects to get a valid IFlexModuleFactory, but it can't since you've
created a distinct appdom.  You must use child appdoms of the main
appdom or pick other places in the tree where you can share just enough
interfaces to make it work.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Application domain and Modules

 

I've read everything off your blog (I have a RSS reader for a reason!)
including the stuff on modules, and this isn't about accessing the
module, at least as far as I think.

 

The example I posted, set the loaders application domain to new
Applicationdomain(null). That mean's no parent specified, so it becomes
a direct child of the system's ApplicationDomain. This means that any
classes loaded in that domain aren't checked against the classes loaded
in my current domain.

 

All well and good.

 

But when I add that loader as a child of the VBox, nothing appears. I'm
not trying to access the code in anyway. Does the fact that the code is
in another ApplicationDomain mean that the Manager's cannot also access
the code to display it? I would assume that the ModuleLoader could
access the classes and manage it's own display, so separation wouldn't
be a problem.

 

(As it happens, I think I've found a better solution around the problem,
but I'd still like to know the answer for this one).

Is there any reason why the below code would not work? Although I see
the module getting loaded when watching the debugger, and I can see that
the modules always get different Application domains, nothing ever gets
added to the Content Pane. It does when I load the module without the
new ApplicationDomain.

The module consists of a MXML view which is just a label, bound to a
singleton AS class. What I'm aiming for is the ability to load a module
with a singleton into the same application repeatedly, and have the
modules act completely seperately (i.e. there is two instances of the
singleton, one for each module).

When trying to use this SWC in any Flex 2 project however, I receive a

When inspecting the selectors object there is indeed no global

Flex/Flash has limited HTML support, but you can use the few tags it

Affecting one word of text in Button and other controls is trickier.

[flexcoders] filter glow with event listener

Here is my attempt to put filter on a text control. If I Set the blur.X 
and blur.Y statically, it works fine. But when I have an event listener 
increase them 1 for every fame, I don't see any effect. I tested the 
values and they do increase. Why don't I see any glow ?



   



   


public function SetFeedback(iscorrect:Boolean):void{
if(iscorrect)
feedback.text="Correct!";
else
feedback.text="Not Correct!";
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, glower);
}

glowFilter.blurY+=1;
glowFilter.blurX+=1;

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid column resizing

[Alex Harui]

If horizontalScrollPolicy="off" (default), the DG resizes columns to fit
the available space so you have less control over their size, and as you
change one column's size, the others respond.  Temporarily setting
resizable=false often helps, but it might be better to reset the entire
column set at once with new columns with the right size.  Make sure they
fit perfectly otherwise they'll get resized.

The idea here is that onCreationComplete the DataGridColumns will
recreate themselves based off of a certain size, eventually the length
of the data inside of them. I've gotten this to work with every
attribute except width. (labelFunctions, itemRenderers, etc.)

I've run into a really annoying issue... If I have a container that
is higher than its parent container, it will add not only a vertical
scrollbar, but also a horizontal scrollbar. It does this even if its
width is set to 100% and it has plenty of room to display its
contents. The really frustrating thing about this is that no matter
how wide you resize the container, it will never be able to fit its
contents...it's always missing the same amount of space.

To test, simply use the following code. Note the horizontal
scrollbar that will not go away.

I understand that. I know how to bind some class. Problem is, that if
I Bind whole VO to one of my components, if I change something in the
VO (only one var) than nothing will change. I don't want to bind all
the properties separately.

I can make one example for drawing line:

[Bindable]
public class LineVO
{
public var startX:Number;
public var startY:Number;
public var endX:Number;
public var endY:Number;
}

Than I have one component to draw the line with LineVO.

var linevo:LineVO= new LineVO();
linevo.startX= 0;
linevo.startY= 0;
linevo.endX= 20;
linevo.endY= 30;

var newLine:Line= new Line();
newLine.vo=linevo;
addChild(newLine) ;

I only want to bind the whole linevo, not the properties.

Now if i change some properties like startX or startY, in the line
should be triggered one function that I bind to.

It is working for me if I bind the every propertie by itself, like this:

BindingUtils. bindProperty( newLine," onChange" ,linevo," startX");

That is not O.K., because than I have to bind everything manually.

I hope that now somebody can help me.

[flexcoders] AutoComplete Component (Flex Team) breaking in Flex 3 Beta 3

[Kevin]

I use the AutoComplete component regularly and I just noticed that it  
breaks in Flex 3 Beta.  I think the break must be due to a change in  
the ComboBox code.  Is there a way to find out what changed in  
ComboBox from Flex 2 - 3?


Here is a test if you want to see the break.

Compile the following code in both Flex 2.0.1 and Flex 3 Beta 3.

 - Type the letter "J" in the text box
 - Select Jefferson City from the list

IN FLEX 2
Jefferson City will appear in the text input (and as selectedItem) as  
expected.


IN FLEX 3
The dropdown will close without choosing Jefferson City

My workaround:
This is not a great option, but to get the component to work I  
commented out line 429 (selectedIndex = 0;)  so that it keep the  
select at -1 until you physically click on something.   This breaks  
the look ahead feature, but I would rather turn that off for now and  
still have the component work.   There also seems to be a problem  
with the selecttion caret but I haven't totally explored that to  
figure out what is happening.


I don't know if anyone is still developing this component, but it is  
very useful so hopefully someone can look at this.

[flexcoders] Re: Binding ValueObjects

[toniabc]

I understand that. I know how to bind some class. Problem is, that if
I Bind whole VO to one of my components, if I change something in the
VO (only one var) than nothing will change. I don't want to bind all
the properties separately.

I can make one example for drawing line:


[Bindable]
public class LineVO
{
 public var startX:Number;
 public var startY:Number;
 public var endX:Number;
 public var endY:Number;
}

Than I have one component to draw the line with LineVO.

var linevo:LineVO=new LineVO();
linevo.startX=0;
linevo.startY=0;
linevo.endX=20;
linevo.endY=30;

var newLine:Line=new Line();
newLine.vo=linevo;
addChild(newLine);

I only want to bind the whole linevo, not the properties.

Now if i change some properties like startX or startY, in the line
should be triggered one function that I bind to.

It is working for me if I bind the every propertie by itself, like this:

BindingUtils.bindProperty(newLine,"onChange",linevo,"startX");

That is not O.K., because than I have to bind everything manually.

I hope that now somebody can help me.

Thanks,
Toni

I am not sure but you can have the x={this.unscledWidth} so that will always 
update and do what you want. I think.

[flexcoders] AIR beta3 main class can't extends Sprite

[iiley]

Hi,

Today, i start moving my AIR project from for AIR beta2 runtime to beta3,
because beta3 runtime can't run beta2 applications, i must do the moving.

But, a terrible thing happened, when i make my project compiled, the
myapp.xml renewed, all thing seems OK, but when i run it, nothing shown.
There's not any error throw to the FlexBuilder console, seems the
application runs well, but the AIR player Window is not shown.

One friend told me, because my Main class extends Sprite, my Main class is
not a mxml. Then, i did a simple test, i create a simple AIR project, this
code is :


package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class AWAir extends Sprite{

 private var dot:Sprite;

 public function AWAir(){

  dot = new Sprite();
  dot.graphics.beginFill(0xff);
  dot.graphics.drawCircle(200, 200, 80);
  dot.graphics.endFill();

  addChild(dot);
 }
}
}

With AIR beta2 before, i know it will runs well, but not, with AIR beta3, it
will not. And, the importance, i don't want mxml here in this project. So i
can't just modify my project to mxml.
I'm not familiar with AIR developing, maybe here some guys know how to solve
it, thanks in advance.

RE: [flexcoders] inline styles

> how to underline 1 word?

Underline one word of the label of a Button? You can't do that with CSS
and Button doesn't support an htmlLabel property. (By contrast,
components like Text have an htmlText property.)
 
I think you would have to access the TextField inside the Button (e.g.,
the low-level DisplayObject which display the label) and use TextField
APIs like setTextFormat() on a range of characters.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: localToGlobal X position

[Gordon Smith]

If you want to determine the global coordinates of the upper-left corner
of a component, you do
 
myComponent.localToGlobal(new Point(0, 0));
 
not
 
myComponent.localToGlobal(new Point(myComponent.x, myComponent.y));
 
The upper-left corner of a component in its own coordinate system is (0,
0).
 
Its x and y coordinates give its upper-left corner in its parent's
coordinate system.

I'm sure this will have an obvious answer and that it's something that

I'm trying to select a node from xml where a child has a specific value
For example:
var xml:XML =


1

In the above, I'm using an e4x expression that looks like:
xml..folder.(id == 3)

All works well when I don't have a namespace declared.
When I have a name space declared, I keep getting nothing back.
I'm using the actionscript object:  namespace test="http..."
use namespace test

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? BTW, I've tried many, many
different e4x expressions, none that work.

Also, any techniques for debugging e4x? I've already included some
dynamic e4x expression parsers that I found on the web. But I find
that while I can get the expression to work fine dynamically, it still
doesn't work.

I've posted this over in teh Adobe Forums, too, as I'm not really sure

Hi FlexCoders,

I'm trying to show the items from XML below in a datagrid, but the 
only examples i've seen show how to deal with XML items that are not 
as "deep" as the one below. So, basically it's not working out. Is 
this a syntax issue, or do i need to cycle through my xml and create 
a new object or arraycollection?

My syntax for setting up the binding is:



[Bindable]
public var XMLListSearchResults:XMLListCollection = new 
XMLListCollection();

public function handleSearchService(myEvent:ResultEvent):void {
XMLListSearchResults.source = new XMLList(myEvent.result); 
trace (XMLListSearchResults.child(1).children());
datagrid_results.dataProvider=(XMLListSearchResults.child(1).children
());



My XML structured like this:

 
http://myapi.myurl.com/
 ">

OK

RE: [flexcoders] Styling of Invalid Inputs (Urgent)

[Deepa Subramaniam]

I'd suggest filing an ECR. You could also grab the error tooltip
instance from the tooltip manager position it as you desire. The docs
have a slightly similar example to this:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhel
p.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=tooltips_074_13.html 

 

Except in that example they create the tooltip themselves (which is also
an option for you) :-)

Ah yes, that works. Thank you so much!  Another related question...
.errorTip lets you control the placement position of the errorTip, ie
borderTipRight, errorTipBelow, etc. however while these options change
the direction of the graphical pointer leaving the error tip, the tip
itself doesn't change position, ie if you set "errorTipBelow", the
pointer now points up, but since the tip didn't move, the input field is
still to the left, and the pointer is pointing up at nothing...  

 

Note to Adobe... sure would be great if changing borderStyle on
.errorTip also changed the tip position... the Callout component does
this

Check out the errorColor style on UIComponent. This controls the color!

Greetings -

This question concerns the styling of inputs and the special "invalid"
tooltip produced when a 
validator declares some input to be invalid. 

The Flex docs correctly point out that the invalid tooltip color can be
controlled using the 
.errorTip css class selector, however this has no effect of the border! 
drawn around the invalid 
input, ie it stays red. Thus if I set borderColor in .errorTip to green,
I get a RED border on the 
invalid input but with a GREEN error message tooltip, not good.

Any suggestions on how to control the invalid input border color? I've
tried using the invalid 
event to manipulate borderColor, themeColor, styleName, etc. all to no
effect.

I have to deliver this code today so any help would be very much
appreciated!

cheers! , ethan

I've run into a really annoying issue... If I have a container that
is higher than its parent container, it will add not only a vertical
scrollbar, but also a horizontal scrollbar. It does this even if its
width is set to 100% and it has plenty of room to display its
contents. The really frustrating thing about this is that no matter
how wide you resize the container, it will never be able to fit its
contents...it' s always missing the same amount of space.

To test, simply use the following code. Note the horizontal
scrollbar that will not go away.

Subject: [flexcoders] PopUpButton issue

I have a PopUpButton on which I am setting a Menu as the popUp 
property. I have found that the popUp attribute is being nulled when 
the PopUpButton is removed from the stage... which causes my button to 
not function properly when added back to the stage. I traced the issue 
to the following code in PopUpButton.as which appears to be incorrect. 
In this code the _popUp member (backing for the popUp setters and 
getters) is nulled.

private function removedFromStageHandler(event:Event):void
{
// Ensure we've unregistered ourselves from PopupManager, else
// we'll be leaked.
if (_popUp) {
PopUpManager.removePopUp(_popUp);
_popUp = null;
}
}

To workaround this issue I had to listen for the addedToStage event in 
my view that uses this component and re-set the popUp property each time

as follows.

/**
* Called each time this view is added to the stage. We 
need this to work
* around an issue where the PopUpButton has a null popUp
* property each time it has been removed from the stage.
*/
public function handleAddedToStage():void{
if(this.createButton != null && this._buttonMenu !=
null){
this.createButton.popUp = _buttonMenu;
}
}

Has anybody else seen this? Can somebody please let me know if this is 
a bug in the toolkit? The workaround works fine... but seems like it 
should not be necessary.

Thanks

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Charting chart updated event?
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 22:24:26 -0800

I need to update some UI elements when a chart receives new data from
its data provider and is done updating (specifically, it updates the new
minimums and maximums for its axes). I've looked at the Flex Charting
events, and I don't see anything like this. Anyone know of related
events I could listen for?

Thanks,
Maciek Sakrejda




 

[flexcoders] E4X Namespace Issues...

[Todd]

I'm sure this will have an obvious answer and that it's something that
I've just been looking at for too long...

I'm trying to select a node from xml where a child has a specific value
For example:
var xml:XML =


1

2


3

4




In the above, I'm using an e4x expression that looks like:
xml..folder.(id == 3)

All works well when I don't have a namespace declared.
When I have a name space declared, I keep getting nothing back.
I'm using the actionscript object:  namespace test="http..."
use namespace test

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? BTW, I've tried many, many
different e4x expressions, none that work.

Also, any techniques for debugging e4x? I've already included some
dynamic e4x expression parsers that I found on the web. But I find
that while I can get the expression to work fine dynamically, it still
doesn't work.

I've posted this over in teh Adobe Forums, too, as I'm not really sure
which place is the best place to go for help.

Thanks a bunch

Here's my test MXML file, sorry for how ugly it looks in this window.,
I"m hoping you can just copy this and paste it into a new MXML file
for you to look at...:

weird, the X and Y Position returned when I use localToGlobal on a

[flexcoders] container width > parent container's width when vertical scrollbar present

[dfalling]

I've run into a really annoying issue...  If I have a container that
is higher than its parent container, it will add not only a vertical
scrollbar, but also a horizontal scrollbar. It does this even if its
width is set to 100% and it has plenty of room to display its
contents.  The really frustrating thing about this is that no matter
how wide you resize the container, it will never be able to fit its
contents...it's always missing the same amount of space.

To test, simply use the following code.   Note the horizontal
scrollbar that will not go away.

[flexcoders] Binding deeper XML to datagrid

[tedgies]

Hi FlexCoders,

I'm trying to show the items from XML below in a datagrid, but the 
only examples i've seen show how to deal with XML items that are not 
as "deep" as the one below.  So, basically it's not working out.  Is 
this a syntax issue, or do i need to cycle through my xml and create 
a new object or arraycollection?

My syntax for setting up the binding is:



[Bindable]
public var XMLListSearchResults:XMLListCollection = new 
XMLListCollection();

public function handleSearchService(myEvent:ResultEvent):void {
XMLListSearchResults.source = new XMLList(myEvent.result); 
trace (XMLListSearchResults.child(1).children());
datagrid_results.dataProvider=(XMLListSearchResults.child(1).children
());




My XML structured like this:

 
 http://myapi.myurl.com/";>

   OK 


   531 
   1 
   0
   
   Moby Dick
   Melville, Herman
   
   
   Pelican Brief
   Grisham, John
   
   
 

thanks,
Ted

[flexcoders] Advanced Datagrid with Grouping

[jovialrandor]

I have a datagrid with a textinput component on top that can autoupdate

grouping collection option.

How do I get 'filterfunction' of an arraycollection work on a

[flexcoders] Re: TileList Loading shows duplicate ArrayCollection?

[jeffjvroom]

Hi Kevin,

(BTW, my flexcoders filter looks for various keywords in the subject 
like DataServices, Livecycle, etc. so I missed this one originally)

Are you using paging with your filled collection?   If you are not 
paging, we return the entire collection in one batch.  We do dispatch 
collection events as we are walking through the collection.  The UI 
controls should be watching these events and invalidating their 
display lists as necessary but the revalidation occurs during the 
next enter frame event.   I don't think it is possible for the 
redisplay to occur in the middle of us processing the fill result 
however so it seems like more likely you are paging in values if you 
are seeing visual artifacts as the data comes in.  Turning off paging 
might improve the display but obviously would have other side 
effects.  

If paging is on, we send the collection events as each page comes in 
(replacing NULL with the item for each index in the 
ArrayCollection).  So unfortunately the only way to listen for these 
events is the same way the TileList listens for them.  you could 
always listen for these events and use some trigger as the means to 
set the dataProvider for the TileList.  Or I think I sent you my 
NotPendingCollection.as class which can be used as a means to 
suppress pending errors altogether... putting that between the 
TileList and the ArrayCollection might yield better behavior.  

When you are processing pushed changes from the server, you do have 
more control.  You can turn off autoMerge.  The pushed changes then 
queue up on the client until you call dataStore.merge().  At that 
point all pending changes are applied.  Again, this method should 
invalidate the display list of any UI controls but the actual 
rendering will take place in the next "enter frame" event which 
should occur after all of the merged changes have been applied.  

Jeff

Subject: [flexcoders] PopUpButton issue

I have a PopUpButton on which I am setting a Menu as the popUp
property. I have found that the popUp attribute is being nulled when
the PopUpButton is removed from the stage... which causes my button to
not function properly when added back to the stage. I traced the issue
to the following code in PopUpButton.as which appears to be incorrect.
In this code the _popUp member (backing for the popUp setters and
getters) is nulled.

private function removedFromStageHandler(event:Event):void
{
// Ensure we've unregistered ourselves from PopupManager, else
// we'll be leaked.
if (_popUp) {
PopUpManager.removePopUp(_popUp);
_popUp = null;
}
}

To workaround this issue I had to listen for the addedToStage event in
my view that uses this component and re-set the popUp property each time

as follows.

/**
* Called each time this view is added to the stage. We
need this to work
* around an issue where the PopUpButton has a null popUp
* property each time it has been removed from the stage.
*/
public function handleAddedToStage():void{
if(this.createButton != null && this._buttonMenu !=
null){
this.createButton.popUp = _buttonMenu;
}
}

Has anybody else seen this? Can somebody please let me know if this is
a bug in the toolkit? The workaround works fine... but seems like it
should not be necessary.

Re: [flexcoders] Styling of Invalid Inputs (Urgent)

[Ethan Miller]

Ah yes, that works. Thank you so much!  Another related  
question...  .errorTip lets you control the placement position of the  
errorTip, ie borderTipRight, errorTipBelow, etc. however while these  
options change the direction of the graphical pointer leaving the  
error tip, the tip itself doesn't change position, ie if you set  
"errorTipBelow", the pointer now points up, but since the tip didn't  
move, the input field is still to the left, and the pointer is  
pointing up at nothing...


Note to Adobe... sure would be great if changing borderStyle  
on .errorTip also changed the tip position... the Callout component  
does this


cheers, ethan


Check out the errorColor style on UIComponent. This controls the color
of the highlight when validation fails on a user interface control. By
default, its red.

Greetings -

This question concerns the styling of inputs and the special "invalid"
tooltip produced when a
validator declares some input to be invalid.

The Flex docs correctly point out that the invalid tooltip color can  
be

controlled using the
.errorTip css class selector, however this has no effect of the border
drawn around the invalid
input, ie it stays red. Thus if I set borderColor in .errorTip to  
green,

I get a RED border on the
invalid input but with a GREEN error message tooltip, not good.

Any suggestions on how to control the invalid input border color? I've
tried using the invalid
event to manipulate borderColor, themeColor, styleName, etc. all to no
effect.

I have to deliver this code today so any help would be very much
appreciated!

input, ie it stays red. Thus if I set borderColor in .errorTip to green,
I get a RED border on the 
invalid input but with a GREEN error message tooltip, not good.

Any suggestions on how to control the invalid input border color?  I've
tried using the invalid 
event to manipulate borderColor, themeColor, styleName, etc. all to no
effect.

I have to deliver this code today so any help would be very much
appreciated!

cheers, ethan

[flexcoders] SWC compiled against Flex 2 SDK only usable in Flex 3 projects

[ben.clinkinbeard]

I have compiled my SWC against 2.0.1 HF 1 (from FB 3) with no errors.
When trying to use this SWC in any Flex 2 project however, I receive a
RTE as soon as the app starts. This happens for projects using 2.0.1
with Hotfix 1, 2 or 3. The error maps to the initProtoChainRoots()
method of the StyleManagerImpl class. Specifically to the following line:

stylesRoot = selectors["global"].addStyleToProtoChain({}, null);

When inspecting the selectors object there is indeed no global
property present, the only properties are ones that correspond to the
styles defined in the defaults.css file of my library project. The
full stack trace is below. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben

[flexcoders] Passing additional information into renderer

[Amy]

I have created a thumbnail viewer similar to this one 
http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/photoviewer/PhotoViewer.ht
ml.  However, I want to use Javascript on the page to allow the images 
to be put into a custom directory.  The problem is, I don't know how 
to "push" the knowledge of where to look for the images into the 
itemRenderers without also tightly coupling the code.  Any ideas?

Thanks;

Amy

RE: [flexcoders] use the standalone player

[Jim Hayes]

I used to use it for flex 2 and see no reason why it shouldn't.
At the time, though, I did have some difficulty finding a standalone player 
that was not a debug version (on windows).

You might like to have a look at screenweaver HX, which gives you some nice 
additions and is open source.
The only real problem for me was flash player distribution (if it doesn't have 
one, it downloads the firefox plugin and uses that, however).
If you can live with that then it's great, in my opinion.

[flexcoders] Re: TileList Loading shows duplicate ArrayCollection?

[Kevin]

I have never used lastResult with a DataService call.  Is that
available? I have usually only seen that with an RPC call. I'll have
to look this one up.  We are currently wrapping our DataService.fill()
call in ListCollectionView and binding to that.

[flexcoders] Best Practices Handling ItemPending and BindingIssues in VO's

[Kevin]

We are struggling with the correct (Best Practice) way to handle our
deeply nested classes when binding fails.  We are thinking that often
these failures are due to ItemPending Errors which is why I have
included that as part of the topic.  Here is our challenge.

We have MANY deeply nested objects.  For example,

A BusinessEntityVO contains a collection of RelationshipVO's
A RelationshipVO contains a ContactVO
A ContactVO contains a collection of emails, phones and addresses
An EmailVO contains an address (String) & type (String)

Then we have a bunch of getters...for example

In BusinessEntity, there is a getter called DefaultEmail.

This getter looks for a defaultRelationship.  If that is not set, AND
there is at least one Relationship in the collection, then it get's
the first Relationship in the collection and calls it's getter
defaultEmail (which does a similar call in the RelationshipVO.)  These
work great...WHEN all the data is present and loaded on the client AND
the underlying data doesn't change... (of course this never is the case!)

Here are the two problems.

1) THE UNDERLYING DATA CHANGES: Due to the deeply nested natures of
these properties and the binding limitations with getters, we are
looking for a way to get all this information back out to the views
when needed.  Is there some code we could write in each of the VO's
that can bubble up the chain to eventually refresh the views? We have
experimented with a couple different approaches but are looking for
some advice as far as a best practice on this one.  We tried
dispatching our own events, but this didn't seem to solve the problem
when collections are bound to DataGrids and Lists, etc... maybe we
were doing it wrong...

2) THE DATA IS PENDING:  We think that some of the binding is failing
simply because of ItemPending Errors.  Is is best practice to look for
and handle these errors inside the getters of the VO?  If so are there
any examples of how best to do this?  It seems like the VO is the best
place to handle these errors so that if a call for the getter
defaultEmail is made and the email is not available yet, the VO
handles the error and refreshes the call once the Email has arrived. 
Has anyone had experience with this before?  Is there a sound approach?

Lastly, I would love to hear how other's handle the binding of deeply
nested properties and collections.  People often comment that they set
things explicitly instead of using binding or getters, but it seems
counter to Flex and OOP (and also a huge pain), especially when
dealing with large amounts of itemRenderers, etc...  There has to be a
better way.

Thanks for listening.

RE: [flexcoders] TileList Loading shows duplicate ArrayCollection?

[Tracy Spratt]

If you are binding directly to lastResult, this is hard to debug.  Use a
result handler, and trace out your dataProvider contents when a result
arrives.

Subject: [flexcoders] TileList Loading shows duplicate ArrayCollection?

 

I am getting some odd behavior from the TileList when loading and
ArrayCollection from the server. I am not sure if this is an
actionscript issue OR the way Data Services serializes the collections.

I have bound the DataProvider of my TileList to a paged collection
that get's automatically lazy loaded from the server. When the
collection comes in, you can see the TileList load with double the
amount of records and then eventually redraw with the correct list. 

1. Can I listen for the completed load from the server and then draw
my TileList then? It seems in efficient (if not dangerous) to keep
drawing the TileList as the collection update. I also would want to
disable the TileList when new loads are getting pushed to the client.
(These seem to be causing redraw issues.)

2. Can I monitor the progress of the collection as it fills from the
server and create a progress monitor. Presumably we know how many we
are expecting because data services pulls in the id's. Is there a way
to then monitor the load in realtime.

OR

3. Is this a problem in TileList and how the TileList lays out it's
children? Is it best practice to hide the component until all the
children are laid out to avoid this.

Thanks for the input on this one.

[flexcoders] Styling of Invalid Inputs (Urgent)

[Ethan Miller]

Greetings -

This question concerns the styling of inputs and the special "invalid" tooltip 
produced when a 
validator declares some input to be invalid. 

The Flex docs correctly point out that the invalid tooltip color can be 
controlled using the 
.errorTip css class selector, however this has no effect of the border drawn 
around the invalid 
input, ie it stays red. Thus if I set borderColor in .errorTip to green, I get 
a RED border on the 
invalid input but with a GREEN error message tooltip, not good.

Any suggestions on how to control the invalid input border color?  I've tried 
using the invalid 
event to manipulate borderColor, themeColor, styleName, etc. all to no effect.

I have to deliver this code today so any help would be very much appreciated!

cheers, ethan

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Application protection

Beyond just string translation for properties, methods, and such, some of
the more sophisticated obfuscator tools out there are capable of logic
injection to make it more difficult for decompiled source to be traversed. I
was wondering if there had been any developments along these lines for AS3,
as I haven't heard of any.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: HTTPService - save DataGrid data

[Tracy Spratt]

var oRequest:Object = {xmlstring=XMLData.toXMLString()};

myHTTPService.send(oRequest);

 

Now this way, the xml string the server gets will not be valid xml
because it will have no root.  You can handle this on the server, or as
I do:

 

When you get the xml from the server , put it in an instance level xml
var. (in the result handler). You can copy() it if you need to preserve
the original for something like undo.  Then pull your XMLList or
collection directly from this var.  Changes made to the xml will be made
in the instance var and you can then send it back to the server as
above, using toXMLString().  The server will get valid xml and can
loadXML() or whatever to parse it.

[flexcoders] Re: List issues

[markcavins]

That is correct. The only issues I have in flex is strict coding
nature of AS. That was the reason that I left flash back in the
earlier part of the Millennium. AS seems too much like Java to me and
I never particularly like coding in Java (I know I'll get a few emails
on that one- remember we all have our opinions). I don't know to me I
guess there are so many other languages out there -- why did we need
another one :-).

RE: [flexcoders] Dataprovider for list

That should work, but be sure it is really what you want.  I would have
my list items be conceptually what the the list is about, in this case
categories, and then I would use a labelFunction() to place the nested
data in the column I want.

[flexcoders] Styling Custom Components

[Varun Shetty]

Hi,

how do i style custom components? Well i do realize that I cna have a style
on the main application and apply it to the custom component, but what if i
want to specify the style within the component itself.

e.g. I am making a input field which has 3 visual states. active, active and
selected, selected visual state.

and of course would love ur comments on the other coding aspect too for the
flex mxml below.


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical"
themeColor="haloGreen">

.basicTxt {
   borderColor: #71a100;
   color: #055598;
   fontSize: 10;
   fontWeight: bold;
   paddingLeft: 2;
   padding-Top: -5;
}
.txtOnSet {
   borderStyle: solid;
   borderColor: #8dc900;
   backgroundColor: #e8f4cc;
   color: #055598;
   paddingLeft: 2;
   fontSize: 10;
   fontWeight: bold;
}
.txtInSelection {
borderColor: #71a100;
color: #055598;
fontSize: 10;
paddingLeft: 2;
fontWeight: bold;

}







































what i am trying is to see if i can create an custom text input box, which
would have the style built within the custom component itself.

regards,
Varun shetty

RE: [flexcoders] Application domain and Modules

[Gregor Kiddie]

I've read everything off your blog (I have a RSS reader for a reason!)
including the stuff on modules, and this isn't about accessing the
module, at least as far as I think.

 

The example I posted, set the loaders application domain to new
Applicationdomain(null). That mean's no parent specified, so it becomes
a direct child of the system's ApplicationDomain. This means that any
classes loaded in that domain aren't checked against the classes loaded
in my current domain.

 

All well and good.

 

But when I add that loader as a child of the VBox, nothing appears. I'm
not trying to access the code in anyway. Does the fact that the code is
in another ApplicationDomain mean that the Manager's cannot also access
the code to display it? I would assume that the ModuleLoader could
access the classes and manage it's own display, so separation wouldn't
be a problem.

 

(As it happens, I think I've found a better solution around the problem,
but I'd still like to know the answer for this one).

Is there any reason why the below code would not work? Although I see
the module getting loaded when watching the debugger, and I can see that
the modules always get different Application domains, nothing ever gets
added to the Content Pane. It does when I load the module without the
new ApplicationDomain.

The module consists of a MXML view which is just a label, bound to a
singleton AS class. What I'm aiming for is the ability to load a module
with a singleton into the same application repeatedly, and have the
modules act completely seperately (i.e. there is two instances of the
singleton, one for each module).
