Re: [flexcoders] Understanding Custom Event Creation
Right Eric, this was a quick and dirty example.
Another thing to note: Event bubbling is dangerous.
Only make your event bubble if it is absolutely necessary.
I have made some big components and learned the hard way. :)
This is just my opinion but event bubbling almost breaks OOP encapsulation.
If there is a chance some instance that has not 'subscribed' to your api
gets your event, BUGS happen. This problem is synonymous to name collisions
and since the compiler can't type check events, here in lies the problem.
This can also hurt a dev that does not truly understand bubbling and is
trying to use your component or application.

Re: [flexcoders] Understanding Custom Event Creation
That's a pretty broad statement to make. I think bubbling system-wide events
are a great way to achieve loose coupling between UI and business code. But
then again if you're listening for a NewUserCreated event, your function
should be expecting a NewUserCreatedEvent, not an Event.

[flexcoders] [BlazdeDS] setting concurrency property through actionAcript
Hi all,
in this document :
http://livedocs.adobe.com/blazeds/1/blazeds_devguide/help.html?content=rpc_07.html
it says you can You can set the concurrency property on a RemoteObject
component's mx:method tag
but I don't use method tag, does that mean I cant set concurrency to be last
?
how can I tell my remoteCall to use concurrency =last?
I use following code to invoke remote Object :
var token:AsyncToken = roService.getQuickPickList(12345);
token.addResponder(new AsyncResponder(
function(data:Object, token:Object):void {
// lalala
}, function(info:Object, token:Object):void { },
token
));
basicaly
I want to make sure every subsequent request cancel out any existing
request currently running .looks like that concurrency property will do
just that, but I cant seem to find where I can set that
all suggestions are appreciated
Kind Regards

[flexcoders] Printing full page w/ no margins
Does anybody know why I can't get anything to print in the bottom or right margins of my flexPrintJob? When I preview (and print) any components they end up begin flush with the upper and left sides of the paper with a significant margin on the bottom and right margins. The only think I can do to get the print job to look okay is to pad the top and left equally to what the bottom and right margins are already at, but that really shrink the printable area down.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Split up data inside itemrenderer
You can't do complex assignments outside of a function, because of the
way the mxml is compiled into the as class.
Override the set data() function and store your data in a local var,
then call invalidateProperties().
Then do your work in a commitProperties override.

The XML Returns 1.0 and 2.0; But when it become an object the number 1.0 becomes 1; If you have control over the server side of things (that is, where the HTTPService connects to) you might need to see if 1.0/2.0 is being passed to the XML object or maybe only 1 / 2 is being passed to the object. If you have no control over this, then you might need to add the .0 manually; or if you do have control but Flex still trip the .0 off, then try adding quotation marks around 1.0 / 2.0 on the server side. That's what i had to do. Add manually, although i still think that FLEX shouldn't mess around whatever you pass as a variable. You can also do a trace (which I'm sure you already did - but I thought I'll just plug this in here anyways) statement on the returned object, just to see what you get.

[flexcoders] Newbie help with Flex Builder CS3
Hello all, I have to say that this relates to some very basic things that I guess I don't yet have a good handle on yet. Ok, the first issue relates to a problem I am having with the Flash Player. I did address the issue previously on this list of not having the correct Flash Player, the debug version installed. I got answers for this on the list and got things installed correctly. However, I cannot get any applications to run when I select the run button within Flex Builder CS3 (from here on, I'll just say from within flex). When I do click on that button, it brings up the browser which says that I need the Flash Player. So, to check things out, I go to adobe.com and indeed the Flash content there plays just fine. I right click on it and see that indeed I have the Flash Player 9, debugger version, working just fine. If I try to test a flex application from within flex, I get that error in the browser saying that I need Flash Player. This started because I was trying to fix a problem that was happening when I tried to display an application with a datagrid component. It was giving me an error saying that it could not read the xml file or find it. So, I tried to redefine the Flex workspace. This demonstrated another newbie problem I have and that is relating to the workspace designation in Flex. If I change the workspace after I've been working on a project/application, will that cause serious problems? This is an embarrassing problem as I'm not new to web development. I've done web development and have used a variety of applications. So, with regard to the workspace would changing this by going to Switch Workspace cause a problem of this nature? I'm sorry if I'm confusing. I have been learning flex using a couple of different texts for learning, and it was only recently that I ran into these errors. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bruce
[flexcoders] Flex Newbie help - part 2 - related problems
Anyway, the reason this trouble started was because I was trying to test out a dataGrid that was to be populated by an xml file. I was following a training video on the site Lynda.com It ran fine on the video but when I tried that out it said that there was a problem related to accessing the dataSource which was the very simple xml file with one top level container element and one repeating element. Since I was using the same exercise files that the instructor was using, I was quite stumped as to why this wasn't working on my system. In fact, the instructor was using a Windows Vista system as well as I am. So, I tried looking at the xml file properties from within Flex Builder by right-clicking. I tried removing the check box for Archive file and the one for Read Only. That didn't help at all, and I continued to get the errors. I was expected to get a 2 column display. I tried a number of different toggles of the Properties of the xml file to see if anything would help. I did notice that when I selected Run from within Flex, that the browser window that comes up did not have a direct path like this: c:\flexapps\workspace\demoapp\bin-debug\myappfile.html Instead I was seeing file:///c:/etc. etc. with more characters.. .something you might see if editing a file in DW or another program where the site is not defined. Anyway, I feel stumped with all this. I'm dealing with 3 issues here that are confusing me. Please help. If I can pass any files or information to help anyone that would help me, please let me know and I'll do that so that we can get this figured out.
[flexcoders] Flex Newbie help - part 2 - related problems
Sorry, please ignore the prior posting as it went before I had a chance to edit it clearly. This is a very depressing problem to run into as I thought I was moving on nicely with learning Flex. Also, I'm not entirely sure how to describe what is going on, which makes finding a solution rather overwhelming difficult as I cannot even find out where the problems exist. Is the problem related to how I setup Flex, how the workspace is defined, how the file is accessed? I ran into a very confusing problem recently that I discovered when I was trying to test out a dataGrid that was to be populated by an xml file.

[flexcoders] Re: Newbie help with Flex Builder CS3 - update
Hello all, For reasons I cannot understand, this problem is somewhat fixed. What I mean is that the application using a DataGrid which pulls in data from an XML file is working in Firefox browser. It is not working in Internet Exployer, which instead keeps telling me that I need the Flash Player. As I stated, I can run Flash applications in Internet Explorer without any problem but from Flex, if I run an application and choose Internet Explorer for the browser, it says that I need the Flash Player. Ok, so the other question I had was in relation to what happens and things appear in the browser address bar when I select run from the Application file in Flex. It seems to display to me like one might see in Dreamweaver when the site is not defined or when the page is not yet saved. Specifically, I see this as the link in the browser when I select run from Flex. file:///C:/Users/Public/Documents/Flex%20Builder%203/Chapter11/chapter11Begin/bin-debug/HTTPServiceDemo.html That's what appears in the browser address bar when I test from Flex. The screen I see on the instructor's computer has the path as: c:\flex3\workspace\chapter11\bin-debug\HTTPServiceDemo.html Isn't it possible that things are not quite right if this is happening? Can anyone offer me any help, suggestions, or etc? Again, why might this work in Firefox but I get an error in IE saying that I need Flash Player, which works fine with Flash on websites across the web. thanks, Bruce --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, brucewhealton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I have to say that this relates to some very basic things that I guess I don't yet have a good handle on yet. Ok, the first issue relates to a problem I am having with the Flash Player. I did address the issue previously on this list of not having the correct Flash Player, the debug version installed. I got answers for this on the list and got things installed correctly. However, I cannot get any applications to run when I select the run button within Flex Builder CS3 (from here on, I'll just say from within flex). When I do click on that button, it brings up the browser which says that I need the Flash Player. So, to check things out, I go to adobe.com and indeed the Flash content there plays just fine. I right click on it and see that indeed I have the Flash Player 9, debugger version, working just fine. If I try to test a flex application from within flex, I get that error in the browser saying that I need Flash Player. This started because I was trying to fix a problem that was happening when I tried to display an application with a datagrid component. It was giving me an error saying that it could not read the xml file or find it. So, I tried to redefine the Flex workspace. This demonstrated another newbie problem I have and that is relating to the workspace designation in Flex. If I change the workspace after I've been working on a project/application, will that cause serious problems? This is an embarrassing problem as I'm not new to web development. I've done web development and have used a variety of applications. So, with regard to the workspace would changing this by going to Switch Workspace cause a problem of this nature? I'm sorry if I'm confusing. I have been learning flex using a couple of different texts for learning, and it was only recently that I ran into these errors. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bruce

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Css Html Css
hi
I also use this really helpfull method, and I found a limit (or flex
bug?) with this:
I use it in a popup window, that I display as a canvas via a state
change. it's a very simple component with my canvas, and Vboxes,
labels, etc...
wherever I use my repeated background in this component, it displays
the background only the first time I call the component. after this,
no way to see it back...
I choosed a different way to skin, so I don't personnaly need an
answer, but if somebody has one for the future, it could be good

[flexcoders] Cinematically Animated Charts; Speed issues?
Hi guys, Just wondering. Has anyone tried to create animated visualizations with the Flex charting framework? I am trying to create some Rosling-style visualizations[1] for some financial data ( personal ) to see if I can reveal something interesting. The question I have and would like to answer before wasting more time is: Do you think that I can achieve a similar performance with the Flex Charting framework? I imagine it was not designed with cinematic speed in mind... In that case, I guess I would be better off creating some simpler bubble chart implementation using pv3d for rendering ( for example ), or just use a different platform for this experiment.

Perhaps your app server defines a security restriction on the Runtime class or exec() method. I've never tried making a Runtime.exe() call from a Servlet.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Help me understand custom drag/drop events
Why not just set a flag instead of calling preventDefault, then check
the flag afterwards.
BTW, you shouldn't be dispatching COLLECTION_CHANGE yourself. Best to
use itemUpdated when changing quantity. A COLLECTION_CHANGE will fire
when the default code inserts the dropped items.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Help me understand custom drag/drop events
I do want the dragged items inserted into the DP, I just want to add a
function call to the end of that which inserts the new row into a
local database table. My problem is that the for-loop which checks for
duplicate entries and merely prevents the default event and updates a
value in the DP makes it difficult to do what I want without doing it
for every row in the DP. Here's what I have thus far:
private function dragToOrders(event:DragEvent):void
{
var draggedItems:Object = new Object();
draggedItems = event.dragSource.dataForFormat(items);
var n:int = orderDetailArray.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i n; i++)//Looping through to check for
duplicate entries
{
if (orderDetailArray[i].UniqueID == draggedItems[0].UniqueID)
{
orderDetailArray[i].Qty ++;
event.preventDefault();
adgOrders.dataProvider.dispatchEvent(new
CollectionEvent(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE));
trace(Update fired);//Placeholder foractual update
function
return;
}
adgOrders.dataProvider.dispatchEvent(new
CollectionEvent(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE));
trace(Insert fired); //Placeholder for actual insert
function
}
}
Works well and perfect for just putting new items into the data
provider and updating current ones, but while I can update items in
the both the DP and the database just fine, I just can't figure out
where to put the function call to my insert function to put a new row
in the DB. So basically I figured early Friday was to see if it was
possible to modify the default event ever so slightly, to call the
insertToDataBaseFunction(); right after the normal behavior of
inserting it into the dataProvider.
Looks simple, problem is, I'm just not sure where to start.

Hi i made a slideshow component. For example their is a main Canvas

All 4 canvas have the same size dans completely overlaps each other.
When the user click to see a previous Canvas i call this code:
mainWindow.swapChildren( canvas2,canvas1 );
To make the previous Canvas (canvas1) visible.
Ok all works fine if my component is directly nested in a

But in a real world application, i need to nest it in some hierachy of
Canvas. This is where i get this error message when calling the
swapChidren method : IllegalArgument Error #2025: The supplied
DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

canvas1.parent, mainCanvas is returned...
