Re: [flexcoders] talk from one swf to another

[Justin Fujita]

It sounds like you're looking for Adobe's Data Management feature (FDS/LCDS)
which was not included in BlazeDS.  The functionality of Data Management's
client-side data synchronization can however be simulated using a messaging
framework.

[flexcoders] talk from one swf to another

[Luke Vanderfluit]

Hi.

Im using blazeds and a java backend.
I have a swf that updates stuff on the server and thus in the database.

My question is: Is it possible to have a second swf (using blazeds) that will 
listen for 
or subscribe to changes on a server object and have the server object push 
changes to the 
subscribed object.

IOW. I want to have one swf respond to changes made with a different swf.

Thanks.

Kind regards.
Luke.

[flexcoders] [ArrayElementType] warning

[Josh McDonald]

Hey guys, I'm getting this on MXML files referring to classes using
[ArrayElementType] rather than in the classes themselves:

[ArrayElementType](CompositeMapping)]: type CompositeMapping is unavailable.


The CompositeMapping class is definitely referenced from the MXML file
though:







CompositeDTO.mappings is defined thus:

[ArrayElementType("CompositeMapping")]
public function set mappings(v : Array) : void { _mappings = v; }

Should I not be decorating the setter method? Builder seems to understand
and puts CompositeMapping at the top of the auto-complete popup when I'm
entering the MXML.

Obviously not immediately pressing, but I don't like warnings I don't
understand, as it often means something's going to bite me in the near
future ;-)

Ideas?

Cheers,

-J

Subject: [flexcoders] TabBar and percentage width



Hi, all;

I have a tabbar that is in an HBox that is in an Application. The 
TabBar and the HBox are both set to 100%. If the window is wider than 
the "natural" width of the tabbar and I then resize it, then everything 
works as expected...the tab labels will truncate and everything will 
squish together to reflect the change.

If I then close the browser at that width and relaunch the app, the 
tabs are all full size and extend off the edge of the page with no way 
to get to them (unless you resize the browser window).

Is this expected behavior?

TIA;

Amy



 

Re: [flexcoders] Bindable tag question

[Josh McDonald]

If you call addItem(), updateItem(), etc, the PropertyChangedEvent is
dispatched by the IList implementor (ie, ArrayCollection).

But, if you have an IList of objects, and you do this:

var company : Company = companyList.getItemAt(3) as Company;
company.name = "New name";

then you'll only get the new data on screen if Company (or Company.name) is
marked [Bindable]

When you call the modifying methods on the dataprovider itself, then the
change is marked as happening on the IList (and it dispatches the
PropertyChangedEvent). But if you change the content of an object contained
within that list, nobody knows about it unless you add the [Bindable].
[Bindable] is a compile-time decorator that dispatches the events on your
behalf.

If I'm making things muddier rather than clearer with that, let me know ;-)

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

[Alex Harui]

I didn't run the code, but by looking at it, the selectableRange is
bound to a plain old object which doesn't support binding. You should
have seen a warning in the console at runtime.  Thus at init time, the
selectableRange is bogus and the displayedMonth/Year probably get
screwed up as well.

RE: [flexcoders] Tree - Drag Drop - prevent drop into folder

[Alex Harui]

Anywhere in an open folder (like its children) or just the open folder
row?
 
If you look at the Tree source you can see how to get parents of things
that are visible, and you might be able to use that to call
preventDefault on the drag event.

Is there a way to get the 'parent' folder of the drop target ?



 

RE: [flexcoders] Event Not Dispatched From TileWindow

[Alex Harui]

Popups are not parented by the app so the event won't be seen the by app
listener.  IMHO, it is a bad practice to bubble like that.  You should
just get the reference to the popup from the PopUpManager and
addEventListener to that.

[flexcoders] Bindable tag question

[gaurav1146]

Hi, 
 I have been using Bindable tag for data providers in datagrid, list
etc. The doc states that this ensures that the destination datagrid
would reflect the change when the dataprovider is changed. But I have
observed that even if I do not use the Bindable tag the datagrid is
still updated when the dataprovider changes. Here is a simple example:


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






  

 
In the above example the datagrid changes on the button click. Please
let me know if I am missing somthing.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do I dispatch an "everything" PropertyChangeEvent on this?

[Josh McDonald]

This is for a DTO that inherits some fairly complicated describeType-based
auto-populate voodoo. It's already statically caching describeType info
(based on a getQualifiedClassName key), so that's no worry, and I've already
got all the info required for generating field-level change events as I go
through. I might refactor it and go back to those events when I get some
time. It needs to have some functionality pulled out into a generic
reflection util class anyway eventually :)

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do I dispatch an "everything" PropertyChangeEvent on this?

[Daniel Gold]

I don't usually make an entire class Bindable on a single event like you
posted earlier, so I'm not 100% on this, but I'm pretty sure it won't
auto-generate that event for you in your setters, so you would have to
dispatch it manually, with the side effect that all of your other bindings
would fire as well. I usually go the route of using the default Bindable
event and then using describeType in my updateAll to generate the
propertyChangeEvent so that I can still fire individual bindings without the
overhead.

I also cache the result of the describeType so that it will only happen once
on each qualified class name as that method can be pretty heavy.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do I dispatch an "everything" PropertyChangeEvent on this?

[Josh McDonald]

Does this mean I will no longer receive any automatic updates (as in
generated by the framework, rather than by my event dispatch code) at all
when an individual member is updated, or that simply all members will be
marked as changed when any one of them is?

Cheers,

[flexcoders] Re: LinkBar Question, How to get LinkBar item details programmatically?

[vkc_nair]

I want to read the content of the dataprovider when contextMenu 
appear.

I get the information about the link (URL to open) on mouse click 
like below, to open the link in external browser window.

//When user clicks link, pass execution to JavaScript function on 
hosting page.
linkbar.addEventListener(ItemClickEvent.ITEM_CLICK, function
(event:ItemClickEvent):void{
var prod:Product = event.item as Product;

if (prod != null && ExternalInterface.available) {
ExternalInterface.call
("launchExternalProduct", prod.id, prod.ssoEntryUri);
}
});


prod.id is the name of the product and prod.ssoEntryUri is the 
product URL.


How do I get the same information on ContextMenu (Right Click). My 
linkbar and buttons are created like this

private function initLinkBar(): void
{
var linkbar:LinkBar = new LinkBar();
linkbar.dataProvider = this.externalProducts.toArray();
linkbar.id ="testlink";

linkbar.addEventListener(ItemClickEvent.ITEM_CLICK, function
(event:ItemClickEvent):void{
var prod:Product = event.item as Product;

if (prod != null && ExternalInterface.available) {
ExternalInterface.call
("launchExternalProduct", prod.id, prod.ssoEntryUri);
}
});

 

cb.height =40;
cb.addChild(linkbar);
}




Thanks

I believe this should work.

private function init():void {
var imgLoad:Loader=new Loader();
imgLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,init2);
imgLoad.load(new URLRequest("assets/imagename.png"));
   }

private function init2(e:Event):void {
sourceBitmap = e.target.content.bitmapData as BitmapData;
bitmapDataCopy = sourceImage.clone();
}

[flexcoders] Re: "Cannot install featurecom.adobe.flexbuilder.feature.standalone 3.0.194161"

[barry.beattie]

I might have found it: FB3 installer is having a fight with the
network trying to get outside/phone home - and losing. 

I just tried the additional plug-in's software update (cfeclipse):

Network connection problems encountered during search.
Unable to access site: "http://www.cfeclipse.org/update"; [Server
returned HTTP response code: "403 Forbidden" for URL:
http://www.cfeclipse.org/update.]

it's a common problem with CS3 updates, Acrobat Reader and (I suspect)
AIR runtime updates. At least (from what I've heard) the AIR runtime
auto updates can be turned off...

[flexcoders] run flex builder using Java 6 on mac?

[Rich Rodecker]

Not sure if this is possible or not, but since apple released the Java 6
update recently, is there a way to have FlexBuilder use that instead?

[flexcoders] Re: "Cannot install featurecom.adobe.flexbuilder.feature.standalone 3.0.194161"

[barry.beattie]

just as a followup, installing the plug-in into Eclipse worked without
a  hitch.

so there must be something in the stand-alone version that's throwing
a wobbly.

just to reiterate, FB3 stand-alone has been the only software that's
failed to install using this profile. In other words, only blaming the
level of admin privlages needed is not the full picture.

I wonder what it's in the stand-alone installer to cause it to fail?

Re: [flexcoders] Trying to apply scale9grid to an image loaded at runtime

[Joseph Balderson]

Scale-9 only works if parts of the image are fully within each of the 9 
"slices" of the scale-9 grid. Which means that you'll have to separate 
your image into 9 different segments before applying the scale-9 grid, 
providing the grid 'lines and the 9 sections of the image match up 
precisely. You can do this the painful way by slicing up your image into 
9 parts and importing each separately, or using BitmapData to do the 
same, which is more code involved.

As for scale-9 for vectors, you might be interested in an article I 
wrote about using scale-9 for Flex skins:

Re: [flexcoders] Re: invalid column widths in DG before render.

[EECOLOR]

I am sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. DataGrid does indeed not have
a creation policy.

I am not sure which event will help you here. When I have some more time, I
will see if I can find out.

There is some time between setting the dataprovider and the columns having
the correct width. You could try the change event, but I am not sure if that
is of any help.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do I dispatch an "everything" PropertyChangeEvent on this?

[Daniel Gold]

I've done it that way before, although sometimes its better to create an
"updateAll()" method, because now all of your bindings will fire when a
single property changes since your entire class is Bindable on the same
event. Just depends on exactly what the use case is, if your class is set up
with the default Binding events you could use describeType in your updateAll
method to dispatch a PropertyChangeEvent for each property in your class.

[flexcoders] Tree - Drag Drop - prevent drop into folder

[iilsley]

I'm trying to prevent the 'drop' of a 'dragged' folder 
into an open folder but having no luck . 

I've looked @ the 'Spring Loaded Folders'
http://www.flexibleexperiments.com/Flex/SpringLoadedFolders2/Sample.html

which is almost there , but it still allows the drop if you position
the source at the end of the 'drop folder' . 

Is there a way to get the 'parent' folder of the drop target ?

[flexcoders] Glow effect duration -- time of a mouse over

Can anyone tell me how I can determine how long a person rests his/her

this time interval for the Glow effect's duration attribute. 

Thanks

[flexcoders] AS addChild and tween/transition

[grimmwerks]

Hey all -- trying to create a simple slideshow component in AS and I'm  
wondering how to best trigger a transition after an image load?
Im taking an image URL from an XML list and creating a new image in  
AS, then adding it as child to the main canvas.

Should I set it invisible, do an addListener for the complete function  
and do the trans there?

Any pointers to transitions in flex in AS3 would be appreciated.

Thanks.

See, I didn't realize you could just increment the month that way :-
).  I thought that the setMonth() method was there in lieu of having 
a setter on month.

I was a bit surprised at the lack of anything analagous to DateDiff and 
DateAdd in AS3.

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

[rleuthold]

Hi Alex, thanks for the reply. I made a simple test case, and could figure out 
why it is not 
working as expected- Can you shortly have look at this code:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
creationComplete="build()">





  
  
 




Is that explainable ?

Thank's _rico

Re: [flexcoders] How to convert Powerpoint presentation tp Flex or Flash?

[krishna Raj]

Try Adobe Captivate by recording whole ppt and you can save it .swf as you
like it.

Hope this helps you.

[flexcoders] How to convert Powerpoint presentation tp Flex or Flash?

[markflex2007]

I have a ppt file and want to play it with Flex.

Please give me a idea how to do this.

Thanks

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

[Stephen Allison]

> parseDate.setMonth(++parseDate.month);

Then that statement above gives different results to:
++parseDate.month
parseDate.setMonth(parseDate.month);

which gives:

Sat Nov 1 00:00:00 GMT+ 2008 Sun Feb 1 00:00:00 GMT+ 2009
Mon Dec 1 00:00:00 GMT+ 2008 Sun Feb 1 00:00:00 GMT+ 2009
Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 GMT+ 2009 Sun

(i.e. it behaves as you would expect)

Shouldn't the two versions be executed the same way? - i.e. month is  
incremented from 11 to 0 by the ++month (causing the year rollover)  
and then this 0 is passed into setMonth which should just set it to 0  
again and cause no rollover.  The call to setMonth is superfluous  
(though personally I'd go with setDate(parseDate.month + 1)) but  
shouldn't actually be doing anything as in both above cases it's just  
being passed 0 and so should either cause a year rollover in both  
cases (which would be buggy but consistent) or in neither case, that  
it's different is a bit worrying.

Simply having SSL (https) enabled on your php webserver will help. 
Another methodology for accessing DB data is using AMFPHP (although I
haven't used it myself).

Wrapping the view stack children into an array of plain objects is the
only way to do that, from what I know.

Perhaps this would be cool:








i.e. a property that can mark a view to not be included in any
navigator controls.

But I think another way to achieve that is to simply not add the view
to the view stack. You can use states to declaratively add the form
view only later when the application switches to that state.

I ask because security is not only a concern for my personal project,
but also my employment responsibilities for my summer internship, so I
want to hear how others deal with this issue. If you can help, I'd
really appreciate the information.
