Re: [flexcoders] Re: TypeError: Error #2007: The parameter listener must not be NULL + Cairngorm

[Jon Santos]

For sure the function loaderCompleteHandler exists.
Any other suggestions?
I have one similar example.and i get the result succesfully.
Here is the soruce.
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 100%"438" 
backgroundAlpha="1.0" 
borderStyle="solid">  this.coverImg.source = event.currentTarget.content asBitmap; 
      
    
        
 privatefunctionshowCover():void{  
this.coverImg.source = null;   vargetCoverEvent:GetCoverEvent = 
newGetCoverEvent(this.myMovieId);  this.myMovieId = 
this.grdMovies.selectedItem.movieId; 
In this examplei display the image...when i selected one row in the 
datagrid.
 
The event, command and other class are the same as in the other example.
And teh unique thing diferent thing in the ViewModelLocator.as
import
  { 
 loader.loadBytes(
 loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,   
Application.application.adminmovies.loaderCompleteHandler);
   } 
}
I hope someone can help me. Thanks in

Instead of adding an event listener, just try to call the function -
does it work? Does the function exist?

Re: [flexcoders] Large application strategy - Flex or Flash?

[Mike Chabot]

None of the factors you mention seem highly relevant to making the decision.

Are the developers already comfortable using Flash? Flex? Do the
developers have design backgrounds or programming backgrounds? If you
have designers that already know Flash, do the developers need to do
anything other than embed the SWF files into HTML?

Is this a Web application deployed to an environment with a user-base
that you know will be able to meet the higher requirements demanded by
Flex, or is this more like an Internet application?

Is using neither technology an option? What is driving the need for
either Flash or Flex that isn't provided by a technology like ASP.NET
or Ajax?

Re: [flexcoders] Large application strategy - Flex or Flash?

I think, both of them are equally valid. Flex ist a bit faster in
development, wheres Flash gives you total flexibility.

[flexcoders] number and string validator

[Luke Vanderfluit]

Hi.

I have a postcode field that I want to test on digits as well as length.
So the field must have digits and the field should be of length 4.

I thought I would do 2 validators:

If you can connect and use the Java API via sockets, then you can
indeed use Flex or AIR for integration.

Take a look at

RE: [flexcoders] Label As Combobox Itemrenderer not working properly

[Alex Harui]

The renderer's visible is always set to true when refreshed.  There is
no allowance for invisible renderers.  The mouse logic will detect hits
in the area of the renderer in case the renderer doesn't fully cover its
area in the dropdown.  There is a disabled list selection example on my
blog, and plenty of others have solutions.  Search the archives.

Renderers are recycled.   See my blog (blogs.adobe.com/aharui).  It is

need to turn off selectable?

RE: [flexcoders] How to get the reference to an item renderer given item index in dataProvider?

Because renderers are recycled, unless you can guarantee that the data
is on-screen, there may not be a renderer fro some index into the
dataprovider.  For more info see my blog (blogs.adobe..com/aharui)

In Flex 3 DataGrid, how to get the reference to item renderer given

I am extending DataGrid, and I need to access it in MyDataGrid.

Lets say I want itemRenderer for item in dataProvider at index 5 and

how to get the array of all itemRenderers and/or itemEditor for a

RE: [flexcoders] adjust row height of datagridcolumns?

[Alex Harui]

Getting a row to expand when showing the editor can be tricky.  I think
folks end up using rendererIsEditor instead of creating the editor on
the fly.  You can also change DataGridColumn.editorHeightOffset and have
the editor overlap the rows below.

RE: [flexcoders] change event

[Alex Harui]

The best way is to use different event handlers, i.e.:

 

textInput.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, textInput_changeHandler);

comboBox.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, comboBox_changeHandler);

 

You can also test for which one like this:

 

function generic_changeHandler(event:Event):void

{

if (event.target is ComboBox)

...

else if (event.target is TextInput)

...

}

Re: [flexcoders] Secure Login

We use challenge-response authentication with our Flex app.  It's pretty
easy to implement, but for some reason it isn't done much in web
applications.  Provides for secure authentication without requiring HTTPS.

I outlined the detailed steps (with challenge-response plus storing hashed
password in db) here on the Fluorine mailing lists.

http://www.nabble.com/Protection-of-User-Password-Information-to15454614.html#a15454617

We use ASP.NET with Fluorine so session support is automatic.

[flexcoders] Long running remoting request: Channel.Call.Failed

I have a particularly long running remoting request that Flex is giving up

"Channel.Call.Failed - NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed".  I have
tried upping the requestTimeout on my RemoteObject definition, but it
doesn't seem to be having the desired effect.  I'm using Cairngorm if that
matters.  I just need Flex to wait 120 seconds or so for a reply before
giving up.

Any advice would be welcome.

[flexcoders] Large application strategy - Flex or Flash?

[bick]

I wanted to get some opinions on whether to use Flex or Flash on a
large scale site.

Some details about the site:

Very modular
Some timeline based swfs provided by designers that need to be loaded
Uses webservices
Multiple remote developers
Intending to use automated builds (thinking Maven)
ASDocs
No current requirement for Flex components

Thoughts?

[flexcoders] AMFPHP Examples now available for Flex

[Alan Gruskoff]

I have interest in database work with MySQL/PHP so looked at the
AMFPHP product. I tried the AMFPHP examples in Flash, which worked
fine. Being disappointed the Flex examples were missing I decided to
go ahead and make my own. So I did.

At this web address: http://digitalshowcase.biz/flex/examples/AMFPHP/

you will find 3 of the first AMFPHP examples in Flex mxml mode, with a
bit of my own internal comments about how things work together.

As was my main interest, I migrated a MySQL Read example, in its own
directory as above, with a Product.sql file and a screen shot that
helped me see where and what the result object looked like.

Feel free to use these items as your own starting point.

[flexcoders] Re: looking for PNG handling resources

Hey thanks Robert and Alex.

I figured it out kind of like Robert suggested.

All of the images are in one Canvas.

I create a new BitmapData object setting the color and the transparency to true.

Then I draw() the canvas on to it. That flattens all the images.

encode the Bitmap Data as a png using PNGEncoder

Encode the png with Base64 so I can pass it to the server.

then I download the file

Seems kind of strange to have upload the file to the server, just to download 
it again, but 
since it is Flash Web app, I have no choice.

Hi Marcin,

it looks like the jvm can't find the class for a java transaction
exception. have you tried installing jotm and any required libraries
for java transactions into your tomcat commons directory?

here is some info on installing jotm on tomcat:

Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid Click Event

[Aaron Miller]

Maybe you are wanting to listen to the 'itemClick' event instead, which is
not dispatched when the header is clicked. If you want to track both types
of clicks, you can also listen for the 'headerRelease' event for the header
clicks.

Hope this helps,

[flexcoders] Re: looking for PNG handling resources

[Alan Gruskoff]

Hi Todd, we met at LAFLEX. You missed the Ribbit show.

I have been thinking of doing something similar.

If you can use PHP, lots of graphic image manipulation stuff built in,
see:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/book.image.php

The standard is ImageMagick, which can be used with almost every
programming language, see:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php

Good luck

I am having trouble getting notes.mxml application to work in my dev

sample application do work, but the one that I am most interested in
notes.mxml DOES NOT.

My project setup:
I created Flex new flex project with J2EE server that I pointed to
tomcat 5.5 and JRE from Flex Builder:

I used web tier compiler since that is what works with samples better.

[flexcoders] How to get the reference to an item renderer given item index in dataProvider?

[Marcin Glowacki]

In Flex 3 DataGrid, how to get the reference to item renderer given
item index in dataProvider and column number? 
I am extending DataGrid, and I need to access it in MyDataGrid.

Lets say I want itemRenderer for item in dataProvider at index 5 and
column 2.

And 

how to get the array of all itemRenderers and/or itemEditor for a
given index of an item in dataProvider?

[flexcoders] Re: printAsBitmap true vs. false

[toofah_gm]

I'm not sure what happens underneath the printing API, but sure would
be nice if they improved the API to let us set vector/raster on a
component by component basis...this would really work well for me
instead of having to set it for the entire object added to the print
job.  Is it worth writing up a bug with this sort of suggestion?

BTW, we have used ImageSnapshot as well.  It allows us to create
prints of effects, like drop shadows, etc. which don't show up at all
otherwise...but it seems to have the same results as
printAsBitmap=true, text looks much worse than vector printed text.

Can't I just have the best of both worlds from Adobe?

[parjan]

Hi Friends .. 

I am writting a simple code in which i have one datagrid with two coloumns . in 
first coloumn iam using combobox as itemrenderer.
but this combobox is working abnormally when more and more item are added to 
the grid or when scroll bar appears .

[flexcoders] Re: looking for PNG handling resources

[robertxcadena]

Hey Todd,

check out:

so, I'd draw those multiple images on top of each other into a
bitmapdata then save it out as specified in that recipe above.

best of luck.

[flexcoders] intermediate value between the widely separated datapoints of line chart?

[prashant194]

Hello all,
i am newbie to Flex and right now i am working on Flex 3.
I drew a line chart based on two datapoints as shown:

   
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute">
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Please correct me if there is anything wrong with this. Actually i want
to draw a line chart based on two cartesian coordinates (0,55) and
(92,0).
I used the above technique to accomplish this and the chart shown the
line correctly.
My problem is the line chart shows only two datapoints given by me when
i move mouse over to those datapoints and how can i get the intermediate
value between those two points when i move/click mouse on the line
between those data points.

[flexcoders] Guidance for Java API integration needed

[dnii303]

Hi there,

I am very new to the Flex development environment but have bin able to
develop a nice web application that makes extensive use of the
Advanced Data Grid. The client is very happy.

I was now approached with the question if we can use Flex (or Flex
AIR) to make use of a 3rd party Java API to connect to their application. 

I have access to a Java sample application that uses NetBeans and a
socketclient component that showcases the Java API.

Can Flex/AIR be used for such an integration? 

Your guidance would be greatly appreciated to help me understand what
the capabilities of Flex/AIR are and how to go about it.

Thanks in advance,
Dan

[flexcoders] How to prevent tab change

[Subhadeep Chatterjee]

Hi,

I need to prevent a tab from being changed when user changes tab. This is a 
typical form dirtiness check use case. 
1. User changes form in tab A.
2. User clicks tab B without saving tab B.
3. User remains in tab A and a confirmation dialogue pops up with save or 
cancel option.
4. Either option eventually takes user to tab B.

Using 'Tabnavigator' component, I can not stop the tab from changing. I need 
something like 'preventDefault' feature for the  tab change/tab click event.  
But looks like since tab change/click is a non-cancellable event, I can't use 
preventDefault. Stop propagation of the change event does work but fails to 
continue when needed(step 4). 

Any suggestion would be nice.

Thanks
- Deep

Re: [flexcoders]Setting DataGrid header to transparent

[Stephen Downs]

Or you could skin it and with something transparent.

Dude, that was four months ago!  You could’ve asked again sooner.



Another approach may be to subclass, get the .header, getChildByName 
(“headerBG”) and set its alpha=0

Is there a way to set the Datagrid header to transparent? I want to  
set the header background fill to transparent and show a border  
along the bottom of the column headers. Currently the CSS Design  
View does not let me change the Datagrid header fill alpha.


Here is the code I am using:

[flexcoders] Get type of a variable?

[Josh McDonald]

Guys,

What's the easiest way to get the type of a variable in a static class? What
I mean is just a regular class, with a bunch of regular staticly typed vars.
I'm having trouble locating an easy way to do this when the member object is
null.
