Re: [flexcoders] Why would mx.controls.NavBar.dataProvider not accept an array of DisplayObject? (3.0.0)

[Ernesto Casasín]

Hi,



what if you use vs.dataProvider.removeItemAt(2) to remove completely  
the form button from your ButtonBar, later you could add it using  
vs.dataProvider.addItem(yourObject)



holpe it helps

RE: [flexcoders] DateChooser setting displayedMonth, displayedYear does nothing

Hi,

I have a DateChooser in a popUp window. If I set the displayedMonth and
displayedYear 
properties on that DateChooser (after creating the popup), nothing
happens. The display is 
still on the month and year previously selected/displayed. Does anybody
have an idea ?

code (parent comp):

_datePickerWin =
DateRangerPopUp(PopUpManager.createPopUp(Application.application as 
DisplayObject, DateRangerPopUp, true));
_datePickerWin.compDateRange = _dateRange;

code (DateRangerPopup):
public function set compDateRange(dateRange:Array):void
{
_compDateRange = dateRange;

dateChooser.selectedRanges = [ {rangeStart: _compDateRange[0], rangeEnd:

_compDateRange[1] }];

dateChooser.displayedMonth = _compDateRange[1].month;
dateChooser.displayedYear = _compDateRange[1].fullYear;


Thank's rico



 

RE: [flexcoders] Re: bug in setMonth() method?

[Alex Harui]

Yes.  In Flex we have a GIGO policy.  "garbage in, garbage out".  We
have enough complaints about runtime memory usage, swf size and
performance that adding parameter checking was not practical.  The
player does some checking, but not everywhere as well for the same
reason.  That said, we hope to have time to use conditional compilation
to put in more dev-time checking in future releases, but if we do, I
don't want to hear complaints about why the debug version is so slow.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: a simple question of BitmapData

[Sherif Abdou]

I am guessing you need to do a deep copy
private function clone(source:Object):* {
var copier:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
copier.writeObject(source);
copier.position = 0;
return(copier.readObject());
}
or use the ObjectUtil, if i understand you correctly.

RE: [flexcoders] Changing parents throught Drag & Drop

[Rick Winscot]

Can you share a code sample? Without taking a look at what you are doing. we
could be just shooting blindly at what the problem is. First thing is first
- are you removing the child from its present container and then re-adding
it to the new target? The drag manager doesn't by default handle those kinds
of things.

Hey guys,

Here's the scenario... I have a list of things displayed in a Tree.
You can drag one of them, and drop it in a Container. The Container is
in charge of creating what the dragged object specifies, generally an
UIComponent. If the object is dropped inside a Container, it
succesfully sets the right parent for the object. Once the component
is created, it can still be dragged around. The problem is, once i've
created the object and the parent has been set, if the object is
dropped on other Container the parent property doesn't change, it's
always dropped on the Container it was initially dropped.

Every Container object has dragEnter and dragDrop handlers. The drag &
drop is done using the DragManager.

Why can't I change parents on drag & drop?

 

Re: [flexcoders] TabNavigator children

[Paul Andrews]

Why would you have a TabNavigator - something that supports the tabbed 
interface paradigm, showing only one tab at a time, then go ahead and try 
and make it behave like something else?

Why don't you have a TabBar, then manage the displayed pages (containers) 
yourself? You can then dispose of the TabBar and still have the containers 
to work with.

Re: [flexcoders] ColdFusion Structures in Flex

[Mike Chabot]

If you are new to Flex you can use a generic array collection to
populate a datagrid without any major issues. They work fine. You can
go back later and turn it into an array of typed objects if you
encounter a situation where this is beneficial.

As for your question, the list of data sources is probably very small.
I would send all the details into Flex with one call. It will be
easier to code and I doubt you are going to noticably impact RAM usage
or bandwidth by doing this.

A little off topic I know but I really hope that at some point the Flash

hate using int or uint when I know I really just need a byte or

It just pains me.

I suppose that's due to my machine code background, but it always feels

I would recommend you to use the getQualifiedClassName method, it is a

Thanks for your explanation!

It's unfortunate that it is prevented though, as my goal was to
selectively display ViewStack children buttons (instead of a mere
ViewStack binding that displays buttons for each child), i.e.:





  


I wanted my button bar not to show the "form button".

For your reference, I'm wrapping "chart" & "grid" components into
buttons.dataProvider:

buttons.dataProvider = [ {target: chart, icon: chart.icon},
{target: grid, icon: grid.icon} ]; // wrap to prevent DisplayObject
checking

and in my ItemClickEvent listener:

vs.selectedIndex = vs.getChildIndex(event.item.target); // unwrap
through the "target" property from above

My first thought was that it is cumbersome to do that wrap/unwrap,
thus my email. Seems that it can't be helped if that's the way it has
been designed.
Is there a better way?

Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] ColdFusion Structures in Flex

[Jeffry Houser]

A structure in CF should turn into a Generic object in Flex (AS3).  
Have you checked documentation, I'm sure there is a data type map 
somewhere.  It took me less than 5 minutes to find this page 
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/UseFlexDataService_10.html .


Yes, create a Value Object CFC and a Value Object AS3 Class.  Alias 
them appropriately.  The return type from your CFC Method will be the 
name of the class.


If you want to know how dataProviders work, open up the framework code 
and take a look.

Re: [flexcoders] ColdFusion Structures in Flex

[Dan Vega]

Here is what I am trying to do and it may make more sense. I have an object
coming back from ColdFusion that contains a list of datasource names. When
reading through the docs I can tell i need an arrayCollection or
XmlLIstCollection to use as the data provider.

I also need to list the field names for each datasource underneath that so
should I just build that completely on the cf side before passing it back or
when the datasource + is clicked retrieve a list of field names.

[flexcoders] TabNavigator children

[Daniel]

Hey guys,

Maybe this is easy, but I just can't figure it out! I have a
TabNavigator with a few tabs. At some point at run time I want to
dispose the TabNavigator and draw the containers in its tabs. The
problem is when I get the TabNavigator children and draw them on
screen it draws only one tab (the tab is selected by the time). The
unselected tabs exist, but are not drawn on screen. I've tried to
explicitly setting the position and size of each of them without success.

How can I draw all the tabs?

Re: [flexcoders] ColdFusion Structures in Flex

[Mike Chabot]

Dan,
If you have CF8, Google for "__type__" That is the key that does the
automatic conversion of a structure into a typed object. This shows
and example:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/UseFlexDataService_05.html
It is easy to implement and it works well.

For the data type conversion check this out:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flashremoting/mx/Using_Flash_Remoting_MX/UseASData4.htm
It is old, but it should be accurate.

Good luck,
Mike Chabot

[flexcoders] Changing parents throught Drag & Drop

[Daniel]

Hey guys,

Here's the scenario... I have a list of things displayed in a Tree.
You can drag one of them, and drop it in a Container. The Container is
in charge of creating what the dragged object specifies, generally an
UIComponent.  If the object is dropped inside a Container, it
succesfully sets the right parent for the object. Once the component
is created, it can still be dragged around. The problem is, once i've
created the object and the parent has been set, if the object is
dropped on other Container the parent property doesn't change, it's
always dropped on the Container it was initially dropped.

Every Container object has dragEnter and dragDrop handlers. The drag &
drop is done using the DragManager.

Why can't I change parents on drag & drop?

The idea was to prevent you from doing this:

  


  

If the above were allowed, you'd think that your click handler would
get called, but in fact the ButtonBar (which is based on NavBar) would
actually be using the array as a data provider to create its own
Button objects; thus, your Button objects wouldn't get used as
children of the ButtonBar, they would just serve as data objects.

So, why not the ButtonBar just use the Button objects provided by you?
Let's just say that's not the way it was designed to work. There are
complications with using user-supplied Button objects. The ButtonBar
-- or any NavBar-based component, for that matter -- needs tighter
control over its child objects. Maybe Flex could get this to work
well, but it was complicated back when it was being considered (not to
mention somewhat inconsistent with the component's design).

By design, the data provider should be just that -- a data provider.

Throwing an error for objects of type DisplayObject is more of a
"saving developers from shooting themselves in the foot" type of
thing, which personally I'm no big fan of, but that's just the way it
is now.

Sorry, there's an easier way. BitmapData already implements clone(). 
Here's an example from the Flex Language Reference:

import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;

var bmd1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100, 80, false, 0x);
var bmd2:BitmapData = bmd1.clone();

bmd1.setPixel32(1, 1, 0x);

trace(bmd1.getPixel32(1, 1).toString(16)); // 
trace(bmd2.getPixel32(1, 1).toString(16)); // ff00

var bm1:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd1);
this.addChild(bm1);

var bm2:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd2);
bm2.x = 110;

this.addChild(bm2);


Hope this helps you.

[flexcoders] ColdFusion Structures in Flex

I am new to Flex and I have some questions about data types. I have a method

A follow up to that is there a method that I can use that will return the

Hi,

you can use this method:

public static function clone(value:ByteArray):ByteArray {
var myBA:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
myBA.writeObject(value);
myBA.position = 0;
   
return myBA.readObject();
}

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to tell if variable is an int, uint, or a Number?

A little off topic I know but I really hope that at some point the Flash

using int or uint when I know I really just need a byte or whatever.

 

It just pains me.

 

I suppose that's due to my machine code background, but it always feels so
