Subject: [flexcoders] Runtime Class Loading
Hi All,
Hoping someone can help me out here... I'm near the point of loosing my
mind. I'm trying to do a simple load of a library SWF in order to use
the classes within. Unfortunately it's not working. What I did was
create a new library project, stuffed in a couple of classes, extracted
the swf from the swc, and then created an ActionScript project in which
I load the SWF.
When I use the Loader object to load the SWF the complete event never
fires. I see progress events and I see the bytesLoaded matching the
bytesTotal but no complete event. When I use URLLoader the SWF loads up
no problem but I can't seem to access any of the classes in the library
SWF. Using getDefinitionByName throws an error. If instead of a library
project I create and load an ActionScript project SWF it all works as
expected. But only when I use a Loader to load the SWF. If I try to use
URLoader it doesn't work. Again, getDefinitionByName throws an error. I
could create the library as an ActionScript project but I'd really
prefer not to have to, feels a little dirty.
I was looking at the way the Flex framework works with RSLs and it
appears it does exactly what I'm trying to do. That is,
it loads a library swf making the classes available at runtime. I tried
duplicating the code in mx.preloaders.Preloader but to no avail. I
tested a Flex project with an RSL and after adding some debug code I
found the complete event in the Preloader (RSLNode) fires without any
issues. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, or not doing, or what
the framework is doing that I'm not. Here's my code, about as simple as
it gets...
public function LibLoader()
{
var loader: Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
handleProgress);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
handleLoadComplete);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
handleLoadError);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ER
ROR,
handleLoadError);
var loaderContext: LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
loaderContext.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
loader.load(new URLRequest(TestLib.swf), loaderContext);
}
private function handleProgress(event: ProgressEvent):void
{
trace(progress);
}
private function handleLoadComplete(event: Event):void
{
trace(complete);
}
private function handleLoadError(event: ErrorEvent):void
{
trace(error);
}
Any insight?
Many thanks,
Paul
Re: [flexcoders] Flex and seo optimisation
The Flex Application Development book by Blank et. al. has a chapter on SEO. The book authors were interviewed on The Flex Show. From a business perspective, getting a high Google rank is a very important driver of sales. So if you are selling a product, I would avoid Flash and Flex for the public parts of the Web site since it should be easier to get a higher ranking using a more traditional Web site. -Mike Chabot On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 10:27 PM, Deniz Davutoglu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello guys, I am working on project whom is importand to have hi page rank in seo . this is shopping site and I want to start fro scratch in flex do you think that this is wise decision? can yo write me about flex and seo relation. some people still claim that search engines dont allow your flash/flex sites to be shown in first palace in search page. thanks deniz
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Ely's FlexBook - drag and drop
I'd like to echo what Jeff said - and add that drag and drop functionality is an awesome _highly contextual_ feature. Are you dragging and dropping data? .or are you moving objects around? The mix of data and UI movement can make for some interesting challenges - especially if the context doesn't expose native support for drag and drop. However! There is good news - with a little elbow grease you can add drag and drop functionality for just about any UIComponent. http://www.quilix.com/node/3 So - can you add some sweet drag and drop capability into Flex book (bows to Ely)?? Of course - but it will require you (the developer) to programmatically bridge any gaps that Flex can't handle natively.

RE: [flexcoders] How do I remove an effect?
If you add an event listener for the effectEnd - you have the effect
instance and object it was applied to. As I mentioned before you can simply
call Foo.filters = []; Alternatively you can access the filters array and
pop/push as you like. are you trying to do something where a sequence of
events would help? I'm not sure that we can do much more without seeing what
you are trying to do in context (code). Source?

Is there something else I need to be doing (possibly MAMP configuration?) to ensure that the browser always sees the latest SWF (without having to always disable the cache... I am loading a lot of static assets and its nice to take advantage of the cache for those)? Adding ?debug=true isn't enough to stop the page being cached - the page signature must change so that the browser thinks that a different page is being requested every time. In this case you could use a number to make the page signature different - the most effective way is probably to use a timestamp and pass the milliseconds value from Date() since this will always be unique.

[flexcoders] Re: RSL linker settings in multiple projects
OK, I have finally figured out what has to be done to achieve multiple RSLs. Maybe this post will be useful for someone else. - it is worthwhile to check if you use framework.swc, datavisualisation.swc rpc.swc and if yes make them external. The rest of standard libraries are too small to worry about them. - if you use datavisualisation.swc it should be below framework.swc - all your libraries should use external linking to your other libraries -only in main application you have to select RSL linking type for selected system libraries (framework, rpc, dataviz) and for all your libraries. Common sense should be applied to the approach - there is no need to convert piece of code to RSL if it is used only in a single place.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3 - Using https in HTTPService
Hi,
In my case (PHP+Apache) the following thing was a killer
header('Expires: 0');
If other pragma-cache headers were creating problems after some time,
this Expires header was a complete stopper.

In this case you don't have to change urls and crossdomain files.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Beta 3 to Flex 3 Migration Problems
The major functional problem so far is a change to ComboBox behaviour - now it respects selectedItem property. In Flex2 if selectedItem was set to null it was selecting the first item. Now it stays clear. Yes, this this a proper behaviour, but it breaks the code if you try to reach selectedItem property without checking it. Previously it was filled in automatically for you. Unfortunately, Adobe does not respect the fact that improvements of the SDK breaks the existing code. I submitted a bug in Flex2 regarding list selection indices order. It was fixed in next release without any mentioning about it in the release notes. Of course it immediately caused a crash of ab application which relied on the order of selection. I wonder what will Adobe do if it come across with tm.tm_mday structure.

Re: [flexcoders] Charts and licenses
I actually haven't got a whole lot of experience with Adobe charting but from what I understand Adobe charts give you a good foundation to building advanced charts but FusionCharts already has professional grade charts out of the box. Depending on the kind of charts you need Adobe charting might be sufficient. Have a look at these examples : http://www.fusioncharts.com/PowerCharts.asp http://www.fusioncharts.com/gadgets/Gallery.asp ILOG Elixir seems to be the only similar option for Flex users but the provide only a small subset of the FusionChart and their pricing is quite exorbitant.

[flexcoders] Compiling CSS to SWF on server
Hi All! Does somebody have experience compiling CSS to SWF on server using Flex command line compiler? I want to allow users use their own fonts in application. To do that first they have to upload TTF true type font to server, then create CSS that references uploaded font file on the flight and at last compile it to SWF. Thus it would be possible to load the resulting SWF via StyleManager. What do you think about this strategy? Sergey.
RE: [flexcoders] Error: Unknown Property: 'constructor'. when using LCDS
Do you know ActionScript your objects from CF land are getting converted to?Typically they come across as Objects unless you are mapping a strong type in which case you need to mark those classes with [Managed]. This appears to be something which does not extend Object - like maybe XML? If you can't tell, adding mx:TraceTarget/ in MXML and using the debug player you can get a flashlog.txt which should have that information (feel free to send that to me directly offlist). We use the constructor property in some cases to determine which class we are dealing with but there are other ways we could do that.

- String.indexOf returns -1 if the specified sequence is not found in
the target string (the one you are calling the method on) and returns
the zero based index of the position within the target string if it is
found. You would use indexOf if you were interested in substring
(partial) matches. i.e. so your grid shows all titles with ch in
them
without requiring the title to BE ch.
The problem you are having is that the filter calls methods on both
title and docNumber without first checking if they are null. So, if
either is null you are going to get exceptions.
I would probably re-write that as something like: Note... this code may
not compile, but should be close :)
public function processFilter(item:Object):Boolean
{
var result:Boolean=false;
//make sure there is a search term
if(term.text != null term.text.length 0)
{
//get the search term as upper case
var searchTerm:String = term.text.toUpperCase();
//check against the title
if(item.title != null item.title.length 0)
{
result = (item.title.toUpperCase().indexOf(searchTerm) != -1);
}
//no need to check doc number if title already matched or if
there is no docNumber
if(result == false item.docNumber != null
item.docNumber.length 0)
{
result = (item.docNumber.toUpperCase().indexOf(searchTerm) != -1);
}
}
return result;
}
Though I may use RegExp and String.search() instead of indexOf...

*Subject:* [flexcoders] Runtime Class Loading
Hi All,
Hoping someone can help me out here... I'm near the point of loosing my
mind. I'm trying to do a simple load of a library SWF in order to use
the classes within. Unfortunately it's not working. What I did was
create a new library project, stuffed in a couple of classes, extracted
the swf from the swc, and then created an ActionScript project in which
I load the SWF.
When I use the Loader object to load the SWF the complete event never
fires. I see progress events and I see the bytesLoaded matching the
bytesTotal but no complete event. When I use URLLoader the SWF loads up
no problem but I can't seem to access any of the classes in the library
SWF. Using getDefinitionByName throws an error. If instead of a library
project I create and load an ActionScript project SWF it all works as
expected. But only when I use a Loader to load the SWF. If I try to use
URLoader it doesn't work. Again, getDefinitionByName throws an error. I
could create the library as an ActionScript project but I'd really
prefer not to have to, feels a little dirty.
I was looking at the way the Flex framework works with RSLs and it
appears it does exactly what I'm trying to do. That is,
it loads a library swf making the classes available at runtime. I tried
duplicating the code in mx.preloaders.Preloader but to no avail. I
tested a Flex project with an RSL and after adding some debug code I
found the complete event in the Preloader (RSLNode) fires without any
issues. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, or not doing, or what
the framework is doing that I'm not. Here's my code, about as simple as
it gets...
public function LibLoader()
{
var loader: Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
handleProgress);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
handleLoadComplete);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
handleLoadError);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,
handleLoadError);
var loaderContext: LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
loaderContext.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
loader.load(new URLRequest(TestLib.swf), loaderContext);
}
private function handleProgress(event: ProgressEvent):void
{
trace(progress);
}
private function handleLoadComplete(event: Event):void
{
trace(complete);
}
private function handleLoadError(event: ErrorEvent):void
{
trace(error);
}
Any insight?

Any hits? I need to get rid of this xml object memory allocation and
I can't. I think I read all the articles about memory leaks. I
haven't used Flex 3 yet, but I am sure if I try and it says there is a
leak, so what, what should I do?
Thanks for your help.
Re: [flexcoders] Runtime Class Loading
Also, you should wait for the INIT event to be sure that the loaded movie is ready. COMPLETE signals that all the bytes have loaded, but init gets fired after all initialization is complete and the swf is already added to the loader. -- gabriel montagné láscaris comneno http://rojored.com t/506.8392.2040
[flexcoders] Newbie, RemoteObject with ActionScript
Hi All,
I'm trying to get the following remoteObject working with
Actionscript. When I use the mxml it works great. But when I compile
with the actionscript, removing mxml I get an error Method does not
exist. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me...
I've also tried views.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, onViewsResult);
Still, no dice. I'm struggling to understand how the two are different.
Thanks for your help.

[flexcoders] Re: Compiling CSS to SWF on server
i think you would need access to compiler java api to do that. start with creating VirtualLocalFile, generate a dummy class file with all those [Embedded] for uploaded fonts, and compile it using Flex Compiler API. You don't need command line tools for this. Andrii Olefirenko --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Sergey Kovalyov [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All! Does somebody have experience compiling CSS to SWF on server using Flex command line compiler? I want to allow users use their own fonts in application. To do that first they have to upload TTF true type font to server, then create CSS that references uploaded font file on the flight and at last compile it to SWF. Thus it would be possible to load the resulting SWF via StyleManager. What do you think about this strategy? Sergey.
[flexcoders] Re: Newbie, RemoteObject with ActionScript
Well at first glance it appears that you are passing parameters in the
actionscript and not in the MXML so they are each looking for a
different method on the server. When I get no such method error it
is usually because I have specified the wrong parameters or in the
wrong order. What is the server code signature?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: memory leak in converting string to xml
Your best option is not to bring in 20MB of XML at a time.
Also, due to the way the player managers memory, doing a A,B,C test
isn't going to tell you much. You really need to write a loop that
loads new XML every 30 seconds and let it run overnight and see if
memory tops out. If the strings are relatively similar, the memory
should stop growing in any significant way. We did make many changes to
reduce the memory load in Flex 3 for XML, but you'll still see some
growth.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: memory leak in converting string to xml
Well, it looks like this is a known deferred issue.
Looks like the player (not the Flex sdk) is the one that leaks when
you convert string to xml
(https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-11982
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-11982 ), but this means, if you
have a RIA that asks for repeated xml files, it will be crash!
I wish I know any way to convert to xml and avoiding the string route.
Anyone?
Thanks,

RE: [flexcoders] Change the row height of DataGrid, which contain more than one text compoent?
You must override the measure() method in your renderer and use the
explicitWidth at the time of measurement to determine the width of the
Text controls and then get their measuredHeights and calculate the
measuredHeight for the renderer.
Wordwrapped text can be any size. You have to fix one dimension in
order to get the other.

Subject: [flexcoders] Change the row height of DataGrid, which contain

Dear all,
I had a datagrid with an item render which contain two Text component
and one TextArea. The contents of all the three components are set by
htmlText attribute.
However, I found that the height of the row can not measure correctly.
I have tried to set the wordWrap=true and variableRowHeight=true of
the DataGrid. Please refer to the following code snippet.
// start
mx:DataGrid height=100% variableRowHeight=true width=100%
dataProvider={Search.lastResult}
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Test width=8 sortable=false
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:Box height=0 width=100% backgroundAlpha=0
mx:Label text={data.Date} fontSize=10/
mx:Text fontSize=14 width=100% textAlign=center
htmlText={data.Title} fontWeight=bold/
controls:AbstractTextArea fontSize=14
condenseWhite=true wordWrap=true backgroundAlpha=0 width=100%
height=100% textAlign=left htmlText={data.Abstract}
editable=false/
/mx:Box /mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:DataGridColumn
// end
I also try to subclass the TextArea to try to dynamic change the
height of the surronding Box. However, that is too heuristic to
practice.
Do you have any good ideas?
Thanks a lot.

[flexcoders] Coldfusion changes not applied when using LCDS
Situation: Flex app connects using Data Services (RTMP) and uses coldfusion as the backend (CFC). Everything works fine. I then edit the coldfusion DAOs CFC code and on purpose cause it to throw an error. The app continues to work as if it doesn't even use the CFC files again. Only when i reboot the CF server the changes apply. thanks, Alexander
