[flexcoders] Itemrenderer combo's dataprovider from ModelLocator???

[slash_n_rose]

Hi
I'm using a Combobox control in my itemrenderer and its dataprovider
is a Cairngorm ModelLocator variable. So my itemrenderer has a
reference to ModelLocator. Is it a bad method by referencing model in
Item Renderer,?  If yes is there any other methods? Thanks in advance.

Regards
Jerry

Re: [flexcoders] Measurement and scrolling

[Josh McDonald]

Measure can always be bigger than the actual width/height, that's what it's
for.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Sandbox violation running from Builder. How did I get this and how do I fix it?

[Josh McDonald]

It was *something* funky caused by svn checkout.

First I check out via builder to my workspace (file location as well as
"create project") and I got the problem.

I checked out to a directory completely separate from my workspace via
another SVN client, and then copied the tree to the builder workspace
directory and created a new project in Builder, still didn't work.

Finally I created yet another project, quit flex, copied the /src directory
from my checkout, deleted all dotfiles (svn and whatever else) with a find |
grep | xargs rm and re-started flex, and now it works (but it's not checked
out, just effectively exported).

The workspace isn't listed in Flash Player's "trusted locations" through the
advanced settings UI, so it'd be really nice to know how the player
determines what is and isn't a builder swf, so I can take whatever's causing
the damned problem out of SVN (or put it back in if it's missing something)
- and also let other devs on the list and in my office know what to look out
for :)

Re: [flexcoders] Re: BitmapData source for mx:Image

[Josh McDonald]

Is the bitmap data something that changes as time goes on, or is it set for
each row? I assume there are rows as you're using data.foo, let me know if
I'm wrong. Is this a renderer in a DataGrid, or a List, or? Sounds like
you'll probably have to quit relying on binding and set the fields required
from an event handler, but without more context there's not much more help I
can give.

[flexcoders] +Re: Possible to add some data to load to the default preloader?

[Alen Balja]

 

Can't
do that, data is coming from aspx. In fact the only way this could work is
to add info* to swf which data has to be loaded with the swf itself. Then
the Flash Player would read that, calculate the size of data and add it to
the preloader of the main swf. Once the whole bunsh is downloaded, data
would be there in the native format on the "root" of the app. Am I dreaming?


* How to add this info is the question. It can't be through AS that's for
sure, because AS is not running until the app is loaded. Write in the header
of the swf? Write in the HTML embed directives?


-
Put the data in an RSL?

I always have some stuff to load before the app can be used. Is it
possible to stick that loading into the default preloader? So the swf
would know that it has to load other files also before it dispatches
the event that it's fully loaded. Maybe some compiler directives, I
don't know.

[flexcoders] Re: date in dataGrid wrong GMT? Dates sometimes one day off?

[Don Kerr]

Let me pose the question differently...I simply want to insert the
selectedDate from a DateField into the database and display the
correct date in a dataGrid column.

Currently I insert myDateField.selectedDate into the database. It
enters into the database in mm/dd/ format. It enters the correct
date into the database.

I want the dataGrid to display the mm/dd/ that is in the database
exactly. Not mess with it based on which client is viewing it. How?

RE: [flexcoders] Flex and WSDL

[Rick Winscot]

First of all. you'll want to check to see if any of the headers you are
trying to use are on the official 'blocked' list. Next, you'll need to
implement your solution so that headers don't get dropped. Eh. well. what
are you trying to do? That's probably the best question.

RE: [flexcoders] Sandbox violation running from Builder. How did I get this and how do I fix it?

Also. where is the project 'physically' located? I would strongly recommend
making sure that the project is inside your workspace. Are there any
compiler options like -use-network=false present?

Very strange.  There was a similar thread a couple days ago and we did not
find a solution, as far as I know.

 

Did you create the new project by don't New Project and then copying in the
files, or did you import the other project? (the first, I know, but maybe
try the second?)

 

Maybe try removing the application from the project's application list and
then re-adding it?

[flexcoders] Re: Unable to Display Hindi

[benjidudu]

I never had success in editing properties files in Flex Builder. It
always screw up the Chinese characters. So now I always edit them in
Notepad, saving as UTF8, and it works.
What you can try is, copy and paste your text in Notepad. Delete your
"appStrings.properties" file. In Notepad, save your file as
"appStrings.properties" using UTF8 encoding. See if that works.

Re: [flexcoders] Measurement and scrolling

[Richard Rodseth]

No, I mean like zooming a window. I think the problem lies in how I
tell the TiledCanvas that one of its children is the zoomed one
(setting "visible" of all the others to false in updateDisplayList).
Stay tuned.

However,  setting that aside, it also seems as though I might be
commiting a hack if I allow the measured size of the TiledCanvas to
remain larger than its bounds, even though it allows the scrolling to
work (at least in the all-tiles-shown case).

Gordon, 

thanks for writing back. I have been digging through this code, and it
looks lie my original theory is wrong. the css is being defined. The
issue I have is this is a custom TabBar and the first tab is suppose
to have a different style than the others and that style definition is
breaking somewhere.

Again thanks for responding.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Thinking about going to the dark side....Apple Mac Book

[Anatole Tartakovsky]

I would stay away from Vaio for developers machine - a lot of components
with proprietary Sony drivers, XP models are not compatible with Vista ones,
no driver upgrades - they are OK for occasional/office user, but hard to
work with if you need to re-image or add/replace hardware. The only one
laptop comparable in my mind to MBP is Thinkpad T61 - good LCDs and hard
drives, power supply that does work on airplane, cheap memory and comparable
performance - but the quality has been declining steadily for years, so it
becomes chancy. However, the parts and design are still OK for machine with
lifespan of 2 years. We still buy them for our staff that goes to Windows
only shops - the difference in the price for identical hardware spec is
about 30%.

I'm not sure exactly what you're doing, or what you're trying to achieve
yet. By "expanding a tile" do you mean you're setting the minimum to be
bigger, or you're manually overriding the decisions the base Container
implementation makes in updateDisplayList()?

[flexcoders] Sandbox violation running from Builder. How did I get this and how do I fix it?

[Josh McDonald]

I've checked out a project into the same directory as all my other projects,
and now I'm getting a security sandbox violation trying to load a local file
even when running from Flex. What could cause this? And how do I get it back
to behaving the way it should for all builder projects?

Re: [flexcoders] Measurement and scrolling

[Richard Rodseth]

The docs say:

If the horizontalScrollPolicy is ScrollPolicy.AUTO, the horizontal
scroll bar appears when all of the following are true:

* One of the container's children extends beyond the left edge or
right edge of the container.
* The clipContent property is true.
* The width and height of the container are large enough to
reasonably accommodate a scroll bar.

And sure enough, if I set a static minimum on tiledView, I get the
desired effect.

If I expand a tile and change the minimum to something else, any idea
which invalidate method(s) I should call?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Streaming BlazeDS connection reverting to polling

[Anatole Tartakovsky]

Crude pushing with no selectors is relatively simple. You take open source
of BlazeDS, find the piece that manages connection for streaming and migrate
registration/"notifier.wait" part into custom endpoint/custom streaming
servlet. From that point on everything is very much the same as Tomcat uses
blocking IO for writing responses, so no extra coding is required compared
to regular BlazeDS in Tomcat. The custom endpoint is a singleton class that
implements synchronized map in place of named threads in the current blazeds
implementation. Any java class in the same context can call endpoint class
to push messages to the client - it prepares the package and calls the
streaming servlet with the data and connection info. I do not believe that I
can share actual code as it was written for a client and requires changes in
basic BlazeDS code so it is not likely to make into OS version.

That unfortunately seems like temporary solution as J2EE Servlet 3.0
specification (JSR-315
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/edr/jsr315/index.html)  did not
favor Tomcat implementation and went with suspend/resume/compete API similar
to Jetty. The Jetty version was a bit simpler as it allowed in place
patching of BlazeDS and did not require so much code in streaming servlet.
However it was left at prototype stage as client was more familiar with
Tomcat.

With Servlet 3 API, if you follow through BlazeDS code and again replace
Threads registration with singleton with synchronized map for session
management, it comes down to adding suspend, resume and complete calls to
streaming servlet from BaseStreamingHTTPEndpoint. Instead of notify.wait
loop you would need to add another header for "resume" and move the loop
content into separate method called when the servlet resumes. Your Java code
in the same context has access to endpoints static method like
sendMessage(msg, user) and endpoint keeps and delivers our message when
resumed.

HTH,
Anatole

Re: [flexcoders] Measurement and scrolling

[Josh McDonald]

If you want to be able to measure your subcomponents, always use
setActualSize. I learned that the hard way recently :)

I've recently been doing a whole bunch of measure and updatedisplaylist
voodoo for a custom container, so I'll be slightly helpful!

[flexcoders] Measurement and scrolling

[Richard Rodseth]

Clearly I haven't mastered layout and measurement.

I've implemented a custom component which tiles its children in
equal-sized tiles, but also has a state (not a flex state) where one
tile fills the component.

I subclassed Canvas and set the sizes and positions of children in
updateDisplayList. I didn't override measure(), but it works very
nicely, resizing children smoothly as it is resized.

Now, however, I would like to set a minimum width and height for the
tiled view, after which scroll bars appear. The minimum will be
different if the component is in the one-tile-expanded case.


Can I do this without further mods to my component?
Should my updateDisplayList be calling setActualSize rather than
setting x,y,width, height?
Should I have a measure() implementation?
How would it differ from the inherited one?
In a scenario like the following, would I set the minWidth and
minHeight on the parent or child?
Or, to ask another way, do the the scrollpolicy and minimum properties
always belong on the same component?







Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] Please help graphics.beginFill and css issue

[Gordon Smith]

How does it fail? When you put

 

backgroundColor: #FF

 

in CSS and execute

 

var backgroundColor:Number = getStyle("backgroundColor")

 

what value does this var get set to? It should be 16777215.

Subject: [flexcoders] Please help graphics.beginFill and css issue

 

Hi all,

came across an issue with our custom tab skin. while drawing the
shapes we pull the colors from our css. the colors are stored like

backgroundColor: #FF

we then call the style via 

var backgroundColor:Number = getStyle( "backgroundColor" );

then we fill our shape 
graphics.beginFill( backgroundColor, backgroundAlpha );

now in flex 2 this worked fine. In Flex 3 however it does not. I did
some testing and if I hardcode backgroundColor:

var backgroundColor:Number = #FF;

the fill still doesnt work. Now if I change the var to a uint and
modify the value to comply

var backgroundColor:Number = 0xFF;

the skin renders. Now here is my issue. css does not recognize
0xFF. Any ideas what I am doing wrong, or what I can do to get
this to work with Flex 3?

thanks your your time

Looks like you're not even getting a connection to the flex2gateway. 

Few things to check:
1) do you get a blank screen when you go to ../flex2gateway/ ?
2) In CF8 Administrator, do you have Flex enabled under Flex Integration?
3) When you compile your flex app do you have -services 
"C:\ColdFusion8\ wwwroot\web- inf\flex\ services- config.xml" in your
arguments (project properties>> compiler . If so, try going to
Project>>Clean.
4) If using IIS, use CF's Web Server Config tool to re-install your
connectors. This can help with connecting to the gateway.

This shouldn't have anything to do with your CFC, since it never gets
to the point of hitting it. You'll get different errors if it is a CFC
issue.

Hope this helps.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Thinking about going to the dark side....Apple Mac Book

[Josh McDonald]

They're not really pricey if you care about build and component quality and
style though - Sure I could buy a cheap fugly dell for 2/3 the price, but if
I were stuck in Windows I wouldn't be caught dead using "consumer" laptops.
Lousy components, ugly and too much cheap plastic. I'd have to go for a
Vaio, which is priced like a Mackbook Pro anyway.

[flexcoders] Please help graphics.beginFill and css issue

[Body Works Studio]

Hi all,

came across an issue with our custom tab skin. while drawing the
shapes we pull the colors from our css. the colors are stored like

backgroundColor: #FF

we then call the style via 

var backgroundColor:Number = getStyle( "backgroundColor" );

then we fill our shape 
graphics.beginFill( backgroundColor, backgroundAlpha );

now in flex 2 this worked fine. In Flex 3 however it does not. I did
some testing and if I hardcode backgroundColor:

var backgroundColor:Number = #FF;

the fill still doesnt work. Now if I change the var to a uint and
modify the value to comply

var backgroundColor:Number = 0xFF;

the skin renders. Now here is my issue. css does not recognize
0xFF. Any ideas what I am doing wrong, or what I can do to get
this to work with Flex 3?

thanks your your time

Jeff

[flexcoders] can it be done, or a feature idea - export to css

[dnk]

Is it possible to do an "export" of sorts for settings that are  
specified in a tag directly to a css equivalent?

IE, say I have a component:



And wanted the finished product to have all of the possible settings  
in an external CSS file...

And wanted to end up with:




And have the appropriate styles in an external sheet?


My preference is to have it all in an external style sheet, but it is  
faster to test layouts (for me) to place them in tags (IE taking  
advantage of design view).

I hope this question makes sense.


Just curious.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Thinking about going to the dark side....Apple Mac Book

[Rob Rusher]

For years I said that I couldn't/wouldn't switch to a Mac because I always
need to do Windows specific tasks. But, with the Intel-based MacBook Pro and
Parallels, I have install Windows XP SP3 on a separate partition and can run
the two OS in tandem.

So I've been on a Mac for a little over a year now. I love the form factor
of the machine; light and small. It is very powerful. I can test alpha/beta
software on Windows and Mac. I can do .NET development on Windows. I do
Flex/AIR development on both platforms.

I'd say that I'm fat and happy, but I only weigh a buck forty. But I'm am
happy!

The down side, Macs are a little pricey.

Rob

[flexcoders] Re: Streaming BlazeDS connection reverting to polling

[jfujita1]

Converting BlazeDS to an NIO implementation is terribly interesting
for me.  I'm building a GIS tracking app that will need to handle more
than a couple hundred connections.  I knew that blocking IO code was
BlazeDS' bottleneck but a $20,000 LCDS license isn't in my company's
budget.  I've heard that BlazeDS' messaging can scale via server
clustering and hardware multiplexing but I'm wondering if you have any
experience converting BlazeDS to NIO and if so if you were willing to
share how you did it.

Re: [flexcoders] Streaming BlazeDS connection reverting to polling

[Rob Rusher]

Another option would be to use WebORB. The more I look at what WebORB can
do, the easier it is to pick it over other servers.

We just had a WebORB presentation at our UG meeting on Tuesday. If you
haven't looked at, you should.

Anecdote of the minute: I'm fine on my bigass iMac, but there's 2 or 3 vista
laptops in the office, and soapUI seems to have some Vista
incompatibilities. Could be the fact we're using 2.0.3 which AFAIK is still

Re: [flexcoders] Streaming BlazeDS connection reverting to polling

[Anatole Tartakovsky]

It is 10 - please check the source of the BlazeDS source - can be increased
to few hundreds in your configuration but you might want to consider setting
process affinity and set up LCDS 2.6 express NIO HTTP adapter to really
scale it up. Other option is to modify BlazeDS code to not keep the
connection and enable NIO adapter on WebContainer/ move connection
management into the custom endpoint - then you can scale blazeDS up to few
thousand connections.Regards,

[flexcoders] Re: Flex and CFC issues

[Don Kerr]

Looks like you're not even getting a connection to the flex2gateway. 

Few things to check:
1) do you get a blank screen when you go to ../flex2gateway/ ?
2) In CF8 Administrator, do you have Flex enabled under Flex Integration?
3) When you compile your flex app do you have -services 
"C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\web-inf\flex\services-config.xml" in your
arguments (project properties>>compiler . If so, try going to

4) If using IIS, use CF's Web Server Config tool to re-install your
connectors. This can help with connecting to the gateway.

This shouldn't have anything to do with your CFC, since it never gets
to the point of hitting it. You'll get different errors if it is a CFC
issue.

Hope this helps.

[flexcoders] Re: Streaming BlazeDS connection reverting to polling

[Tim Hoff]

Hi Geoffrey,

Good info here: http://www.flexlive.net/?p=102


For long polling, looks like you can change the value for
 in WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml.  For
streaming it's .  After the limits are met, new
connections fall back to simple polling.

RE: [flexcoders] Problem with BrowserManager and IE - titlebar always changes to a '#'

Make sure you are running via http:.  If you just test your app from
FlexBuilder, then you are using file://, and IE doesn't work well.

I am attempting to integrate my Flex app to use the new Flex3.0
BrowserManager. I have very simple code at this point - here is what
I do at application start time:

browserManager = BrowserManager.getInstance();
browserManager.init("", "MyAppName");

When the app loads in IE7...things look great. I see "MyAppName" in
IE7's title bar (e.g. MyAppName - Internet Explorer)

HOWEVER...once I click on a Flex component, such as switching to a new
Tab component, the IE7 titlebar changes to # - InternetExplorer I
suspect that maybe the tab component is interacting with the
BrowserManager (or HistoryManager...although I thought the
BrowserManager automatically disables the HistoryManager).

WHAT IS WEIRDis that this same app, when run inside FireFox,
behaves correctly - I can navigate through my application and the
FireFox titlebar always says MyAppName - Mozilla FireFox.

Is this a bug in IE7? Flex3.0 states that the BrowserManager supports
IE6+ 

Is there something I need to do differently? Other than setting the
title upfront in my app...I do no other BrowserManager or
HistoryManager specific code.

Thanks for any info!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Resizing component , browser freezes - how to overcome it

[Alex Harui]

I would set breakpoints in LayoutManager doPhasedInstantiation.  If the
layoutmanager never finishes validating, then you know that resizing the
component has caused an invalidation loop where the component or
something else is constantly being invalidated and re-validated.

[flexcoders] Streaming BlazeDS connection reverting to polling

[Geoffrey]

I know there is a hardware imposed limitation to the number of BlazeDS
real-time streaming connections that you can establish.  I've heard
it's in the hundreds, so I'm trying to see how many I can connect to
my server(WinXP Pro 64-bit with two 3GHz Xeon CPUs and 8GB of RAM).

Oddly enough after the 10th client logs in, all subsequent logins
revert to a polling connection.  Is there some limit on the number of
streaming connections you can have before they fall back to polling? 
Something else I'm missing?

BTW, even with polling I can establish 200 connections and the server
barely blinks except for an increase in CPU usage due to all of that
polling.

Thanks,
 Geoff

Hello All, 

 

I'm beginning a project Flex, CF, IIS and SQL, and this time I'm finally
going to make sure we all do the proper requirements gathering and
research of best practices before writing code (or at least as little as
possible).

 

Therefore, I thought I'd ask the group to point me in the direction to
solid documentation on the best methods on making a Flex app truly
skinnable, from the fonts, (English to Hebrew) to colors, and images,
etc. based upon manual user selection or auto based upon best guess of
global location automatically, or both.

 

Seems monumental, but someone's done it and it's written somewhere I
assume.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

The constructor for the ResourceBundle class had no arguments in Flex 2

[flexcoders] Smooth Animation with Resize or Move Effect

[wwwpl]

I am developing a Flex application where I need to do some resize 
effects.  I have 2 VBoxs side by side.  They need to resize when a user 
clicks a button.  I have been using states to do the resize effects, 
but I can not get it to look nice.  I have tried a lot of effects and 
other things, but it doesn't look good.  

So I started to create a custom component that is based on the 
Accordion tween effects.  Now it looks nice, but I am wondering why I 
could not get it to look nice with the resize or move effects.  I 
applied a lot of the animation optimizations that I have found.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Using TitleWindow

[Alex Harui]

You might want to just create and add the popup with visible=false, then
use callLater to set visible=true and have a showEffect on the popup.

 

I haven't done enough transitions work to know how to do it with states.

Tried using a transition on the IFlexDisplayObject "popup", but I get
the following warning:

Data binding will not be able to detect assignments to "popup".

and the transition will not run. I tried casting popup to the class of
the TitleWindow (PrizePopup), but that gave the same errors.

[flexcoders] Re: Some Characters on Dynamically Loaded Fonts Show Incorrectly

[hawkfansixty]

No, it happens in other scenarios as well.

Here are some of the documented scenarios I've tested and the result (If
further verbiage necessary, let me know)

Font   Location (Embed Type)   Control Location   Result  
Application   (ttf)   Application   Good   Application   (ttf)  
Application (SL)   Good   Application   (swf)   Application   BAD
Application   (swf)   Application (SL)   BAD   Application   (ttf)  
Module (SL)   BAD   Application   (swf)   Module (SL)   BAD  
Application   using SL (ttf)   Application   BAD   Application  
using SL (ttf)   Application (SL)   BAD   Module   (ttf)   Module
(SL)   Not Embeded
SL = shared library project
ttf = font embeded in mxml from ttf file
swf = font embeded with StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations or from swf
file (generated by flex)

Embedding the swf in mxml and using a font swf from flash are other
variables I've played around with but haven't yet found the winning
combination.  This seems to work in some instances but not others (need
to specify a font family on the TextArea control or goes blank with
rotation)

The more I play around with it, the more confused i get.  [:(]

Thoughts?

[flexcoders] Re: SWC Encrypt 2.0 - Does it work?

In order to make the ModuleLoader use a bytearray, you have to do some
extending of ModuleLoader.  For NitroLM.com, I've created a class
called  that does load ByteArrays
internally.  It uses a public/private key encryption on the module swf
file with the decryption key stored on the server.  Because of this,
an attacker can't get at the key.  Only AFTER a valid NitroLM
licensing transaction happens are you allowed access to the decryption
key.

Basically, all you do is develop a modular application (either put
everything in one module (if you're lazy or have a small app), or do
several modules.  In the NitroLM admin tool, create a new product
code, and generate a library key for each module you have.  You can
then assign those library keys to the product.

Then, when you're ready to deploy, you modify your code to use the
 instead of .  In my
own code, I just comment/uncomment repeatedly during development.  For
a Flex app, you run the module swfs through our AIR app called
AssetEncrypter using the product keys and library keys generated
during setup.  Then you just deploy.  For AIR, you have to unzip the
AIR package, encrypt the modules using AssetEncrypter and then
re-package using the ADT tool in the Flex SDK.  It's not totally
streamlined yet, but I'm always working to improve it.  Here is some
of my demo code with a couple of encrypted modules.









That's the very high level overview anyway (the stuff I'm allowed to
share).  NitroLM does a lot more than just encryption, and you should
look into it if you're doing any type of enterprise application. 
E-mail notifications, Demo licensing, offline or checked-out license
and other features are some of the main reasons people use it.  For an
open-source or public audience/website type of thing, it's probably
overkill.

If you want to schedule an online demo sometime, just schedule a
meeting with our LM sales guy lmsales [at] simplifiedlogic.com.  He
schedules my time for demos of the encryption stuff.  We'll also have
a presentation at 360 Flex San Jose and a booth there.  The
presentation is by David Bigelow - Making Money with Flex, or
something like that.

[flexcoders] Re: Resizing component , browser freezes - how to overcome it

[Tim Hoff]

Hi Alex,

You might try making the code less intensive first; else you'll always
have to find a work-around.  If you're doing anything, especially
calculations, on the render or resize events, you're probably spiking
the CPU on a manual browser resize.  I'm not hearing that cacheAsBitmap
will work for you here, but you can give that a try as well.  If those
don't help, you can listen for the browser's RESIZE event and disable
the offending code.  Probably better to find a more direct solution
though.

It seems this is a knonw bug with Adobe in Flex 3.
If there are nested Arrays, Flex will not handle them properly.
Flex 3.0 also will drop data if the structure of the data is not 
ordered exactly as the WSDL dictates. This all wokred fine in Flex 
2.0.1. A seriously bad mistake by Adobe to let these bugs slip 
through.

So it turns out that switching our Webservice to handle SOAP 
responses from 'object' to 'e4x' seems to have solved the problem.
We then used this to set the data back to objects to match the 
structure that our Cairngorm responders were expecting:
protected function parseXMLData(xmlData:String) : 
Object
{
var xmlDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument(xmlData);
var decoder:SimpleXMLDecoder = new 
SimpleXMLDecoder(true);
var obj:Object = decoder.decodeXML(xmlDoc);

var data:Object = new Object;

for(var i:int = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
for each(var tempObj:Object in obj)
{
obj = tempObj;
}
}
data.result = obj

return data;

}

[flexcoders] choosing line series

[fb6668]

I have a question about adding series to a LineChart.

My data looks like this (simplified pseudo-code):

selectedItems:ArrayCollection
{
   Item:myClass
   {
  id:int
  history:ArrayCollection
  {
 date:Date
 val:Number
  }
   }
}

so, a user adds objects of myClass to the selectedItem
ArrayCollection. There may be any number of these.

Now, I currently have a linechart which displays the history data for
any one myClass object:










So this plots val by date.
What I would like to do is amend this so that, rather than passing an
individual myClass object to the linechart, I pass an ArrayCollection
containing several, and then plot the val for *each* object's history
on a separate line.

The only examples of multiple series I have seen expects each object
to have a property relating to each series:

new ArrayCollection( [
{ Month: "Jan", Profit: 2000, Expenses: 1500, Amount: 450 },
{ Month: "Feb", Profit: 1000, Expenses: 200, Amount: 600 },
{ Month: "Mar", Profit: 1500, Expenses: 500, Amount: 300 } ])
and then plotting Profit, Expenses and Amount as the three series
against Month.

Mine's subtley different... any ideas?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Flex and CFC issues

[Just give a guess...]

All,

I am extremely new to Flex but I have been doing ColdFusion for a 
while now. I am having an issue with data from a CFC getting back to 
my Flex app. I have put code into my CFC to write to the log file if 
it gets hit. I can run a .cfm file against it and it works. However, 
the moment I try to hit it with Flex, I get nothing back. 

I have searched all over the web (over 30 hours) and it seems that I 
am not the only one getting this issue. It's quite common and I've 
tried everything they suggested and more.

This is the error that I am getting:

[RPC Fault faultString="Send failed" 
faultCode="Client.Error.MessageSend" 
faultDetail="Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed:

[flexcoders] Re: Please, help: the release player displays a blank page in all browsers.

[Tracy Spratt]

If it is a security problem, It will work fine under Flex Builder on 
your dev machine, but not when served from a webserver, like when 
tested on a coworker's machine.

My suggestion is to be sure your have run it from a Web server, using 
a debug player, which is the only way to see the security error.

Jeff,

You can use the flowContainer component http://blog.3r1c.net/?p=89 to
easely create a tag cloud component, all you need to do is add the
methods to calculate de size based on your ratings. You can use a
repeater based on your array.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Unable to Display Hindi

[Andrew Wetmore]

Dumb question, but are you using a font that does not display special
characters? Can you display, say, Mandarin or Japanese? If you cannot
display ANY non-Western characters, try switching to a sans-serif font.

If this relates to Hindi only, and languages such as Japanese display well,
then I am at a loss.

[flexcoders] Resizing component , browser freezes - how to overcome it

[alex]

I have Flex project which contains several different components
when I resize the browser windows, one of the components which is
calculations intensive causes the browser to freeze foraround 2 seconds.
Is there away to display the rest of components and delay the slow
component ( and may just display it's scaled Bitmap image), and then
run the component so it won't stuck the whole application ?

Ok.  Then all you need to do is use FileReference instead of  
FileReferenceList. There is not much to change in the code.


Any attempt to get the .name property before the select event is  
dispatched will result in an IllegalOperationError (because you can't  
even look at name until Event.SELECT is dispatched).


So, in the onSelectFile method that I posted, .name will then be  
available - it will be null if no file was selected. Additionally,  
check the documentation on browse(). You might be doing something  
else funky that is wrong - such as messing with typelist and not  
providing descriptions or extension strings. There are a few things  
that would cause the browse() not to return true.


The following should work (not tested).

private var isBrowsingFile:Boolean = false;
private function addFiles():void
{
myFileReference = new FileReference();
if (!isBrowsingFile) {
try
{
isBrowsingFile = myFileReference.browse();
myFileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, 
onSelectFile);
}
catch (error:Error)
{
isBrowsingFile = false;
// Handle errors, or add listeners in the try block for 
errors
// This is where you would get the IllegalOperationError
}
}
else
{
trace("already browsing for a file");
}
}

// Called when file is selected
private function onSelectFile(event:Event):void
{
isBrowsingFile = false;
if (myFileReference.name)
{
// whatever you want to do with the selected file
}
else
{
//  no file selected
}
}

good luck with it,

No that does not seem to be the problem.  The "Text file encoding" for

RE: [flexcoders] Possible to add some data to load to the default preloader?

Put the data in an RSL?

Subject: [flexcoders] Possible to add some data to load to the default

I always have some stuff to load before the app can be used. Is it
possible to stick that loading into the default preloader? So the swf
would know that it has to load other files also before it dispatches
the event that it's fully loaded. Maybe some compiler directives, I
don't know.

Thanks

 

RE: [flexcoders] Please, help: the release player displays a blank page in all browsers.

[Alex Harui]

In FlexBuilder3, you use Export Release Build...  You can turn off your
debug flags too, but I'd just use the builtin feature that does that for
you.

 

The release player doesn't have trace log output so there's no way to
leave a trail of what is happening.  The debug player has trace output
and allocates and garbage collects memory differently since it has
defenders on every allocation.  The only way to leave a trail in the
release player is to use a loading SWF that has some UI that can show
that trail.

Thank you for your answers. 

Alex: I could try to write an application that loads my swf, but
actually I think the swf should work fine since I can run it from debug
players. What do you mean with "deploying a release swf"? I just omitted
the "-compiler.debug" directive and put "false" as the value of the
"debug" tag in flex-config.xml. Is it right?

Tracy: I don't think an error occurs, since I don't see anything while
running my app in a debug player.

Try to run the app on a non-dev system, but use the debug player.

Subject: [flexcoders] Please, help: the release player displays a blank
page in all browsers.

 

I'm experiencing a strange issue: I'm not able to run my Flex app using
the release player (I tried Firefox2/player 9.0.124, IE5.5/player 9.0.47
and IE7/player 9.0.124). The page contains a blank swf (when I right
click I can see the Flash player menu). The same application works in
all browsers using a debug player. The swf doesn't work even if I try to
access it directly, while I'm able to run other Flex applications both
standalone and using the HTML wrapper. 
I'm using the Flex 2 SDK hotfix 2 command line compiler.
I actually don't know what has caused this behaviour since I use a debug
player 99% of time... a colleague discovered this while testing the
application. A possibile hint: this morning, using the debug player,  I
saw a popup window prompting me for the location of "the debugger or the
profiler": this happens occasionally and, until now, I didn't pay much
attention to it (don't know exactly why it appears, I'm compiling using
the same options since many months). When I switched to the "runtime"
player the swf seemed to freeze at the same point, though in this case I
didn't see the popup window. Maybe this window and the blank page issue
are related?
Obviously I cannot force my customers to install a debug player ;-)

Any help appreciated.

Bye,

Andrea 

 

 

RE: [flexcoders] Using TitleWindow

[Alex Harui]

If you don't use PopUp, it could slide under other components in its
parent container.  You can always apply an effect to the popup so it
slides in.

 

However, if you set isPopUp=true, it should allow the TW to be dragged.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder accessibility problem

[Matt Morgan-May]

Hi Barry,

What you¹re describing is something we inherit from the Eclipse environment
that Flex Builder is based on, and there was a bug filed on Eclipse that
matches your problem.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=194312

It appears there¹s a (somewhat complicated) fix in there, if you want to try
that. Otherwise, the next version of the Eclipse C/C++ Development Toolkit
(CDT 5.0) has fixed it, but to go that route, you¹ll have to wait for that
release, install Eclipse, and then install FB as an Eclipse plugin.

Hope this helps,

Re: [flexcoders] know if .browse() was executed or not

[David Pariente]

I think this is a different thing...
Im not using a fileReferenceList, but a FileReference. And it seems i can't 
access any property of FileReference unless i have choosen a file. So there is 
no way to know if a file was selected.

Also, i first choose images with several calls to browseand later...long 
later...i send them. Im making a form, so i only send when the form is filled 
and validated :)

By the way, i can't use FileReferenceList, as i don't wanna allow users to send 
more than one file per form file object.

thnx for the answer anyway, and example of fileReferenceList is allways of good 
use ;)

Use events. EVENT.SELECT is dispatched when the browse() session closes and 
files are selected. The list of files is the "fileList" property on the 
FileReferenceList instance you created.

private function addFiles():void

myFileReferenceList  = new FileReferenceList( );

myFileReferenceList .addEventListene r(Event.SELECT, onSelectFile) ;

for (var i:Number = 0; i < myFileReferenceList .fileList. length; j++)

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex access to Browser Properties

 

I am needing to know some basic information about the browser in which 
my app is running...minimally I would like to know the dimensions 
(height, width) of the browser and if it is maximized. Although, if I 
can get the browsers height and width I believe that I should be able 
to determine maximization state by using the Capabilities class and 
making use of the screen's resolution.

I would also like to be able to determine the same information that the 
viewMetricsAndPadding provide. However, if I can get the height and 
width of the browser, I believe that the SystemManager height/width 
would be sufficent for me to determine the same information that the 
view (Edge) metrics would provide.

Is there a way, from within flex, to access these browser properties?

 

RE: [flexcoders] Re: hiding a cell within a datagrid dynamically

You'll probably have to set visible from inside updateDisplayList.  A
renderer's visible property is changed as it goes on/off the
freeItemRenderers list.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: #2038: File I/O Error only in firefox

[Jon Bradley]

I'm guessing it's because the session is not retained when performing  
a file upload to the server - a new session id is created for each  
FileReference upload attempt.


This is a known issue with various workarounds.

Modify your server code to ignore any session or login details to be  
sure this is the problem you are seeing. If it works when you remove  
any requirement for authentication or any check of the session info,  
then you're one step closer to fixing the issue.


You will then need to:

1. Store the session number in Flex and send it back. On the server  
you validate against the sent session (a new one will still be  
created), then send back the new session details.


or...

2. Ignore a requirement on the session when doing the actual upload.  
Find another way of verifying the user is logged in.

[flexcoders] IFBIN status? Need some code, but can't get IFBIN to run

[Tracy Spratt]

I am trying to do a DES encryption encoding on some Webservice
parameters.  I have found a few examples, but have not successfully
encrypted a parameter so the target site can decrypt it.

The example function on Flex Exchanges is for "Triple DES" and written
for Flex 2.  The "As3 Crypto Library" is complicated, undocumented, and
I have been able to use it, but not fully successfully. (I can't figure
out how to use the "initial vector" on encryption ) .

I see that Darron Schall's FlashVNC on IFBIN contains a DES class, and
would like to look at it.  I installed IFBIN, but I can't get it to work
(It always says the server is not started, though I have attempted
that).

So three questions:
1) Anyone know of a simple DES encryption class, for non-cryptographers
2) Is Darron's DES class available anywhere but IFBIN
3) Any idea why IFBIN won't run? (support mail list, forum?)

TIA,
Tracy

Re: [flexcoders] Flex + WebORB for PHP, A very strage problem

[Manu Dhanda]

Hii,

I tried it the same way as suggested by Uber Nick. But the solution din't
worked until I made some changes in my database field types as well as on my
Flex VO class.
Now I set this field as integer in db and Number in my VO class and
receiving the values as Number.

like below:

vo.aircon = int(list[i].aircon);

Now, flex can easily interpret a number other than ZERO as TRUE and Numbers
ZERO as FALSE.

But I suppose, the culprit part remains with the WebORB implementation.

Thanks for helping.
Manu.

[flexcoders] know if .browse() was executed or not

[David Pariente]

Hello everyone,

in my project i need to know wether a fileReference Object did or didn't made a 
.browse() function.

The point is that i have a form with several fields for choose files. Those 
files i must send them later. So then i need a way to know if user did actually 
choose a file to upload, or not yet.

I was trying checking for some property from fileReference object, like for 
example .name, so if no name on the object, would mean they didn't select 
anything there. But accessing the name property when no file choosen throws an 
IllegalOperationError.

Anyone has idea how to know if file was selected or not???

lots of thnx.
