[flexcoders] Flex and Flash 9 movies in Firefox

2008-06-18 Thread Michelle Grigg

Hi guys!

I'm perplexed.

I have a Flex 2 application that runs a little Flash 9 movie within it
at one point.  This SWF requires user interaction in the form of
typing a letter into a textbox.

Strange things occur in Firefox when, once you get to the frame with
the textbox (focus is set to it so that the cursor is blinking), then
alt-tab to another window and go back, you cannot interact with the
textbox at all.  The cursor has gone, and clicking on the control does
nothing.  Clicking on a button works, however.

Anyone know how to fix this?  Anyone even had this problem themselves?
It ONLY happens in Firefox.

Cheers,
Michelle

Re: [flexcoders] How to rotate a Combo Box

Maybe I missed the point? I thought I'd try a quick test, but of course
since I'm not embedding the font all labels disappear when you rotate them,
so I can't see if the label is rotating or not :)

the textInput.rotation = 270 does not work. Font Arial was embedded

Looks to me like there's a problem with your namespaces in the bad request.
I don't know much about soap headers, but where's that "radarXML" namespace
coming from? 

The SOAP code in Flex 3 is stricter than Flex 2's, so besides a couple of
bugs it behaves better than Flex 2's SOAP code, but often when migrating it
will expose problems in your WSDLs or XSDs that appear to be bugs in Flex 3.
It could be that there's something in your schema that is including the
radarXML namespace for the outer  element, but your server isn't
actually expecting that so it's complaining, and you were just lucky that
flex 2's SOAP code didn't generate the request correctly.

What's the server returning? A 500? If it's a SOAP fault, what does it say?
One of the reasons you want to use Charles is that you can see the error
codes when you get an error code from the server, whereas the browser hides
the details from the Flash Player so they never make it back into Flex,
often hiding very useful troubleshooting information.

Another point to mention is that the swf and the wsdl sit in the

But again, I can't get this to rum from Flex Builder.  I also tested
this with useProxy set to true and false. Setting it to false gives
the same response, seting it to true shoot off new errors.

It sounds like from what Rick was saying this is not an issue with
the Flash Player as I'm using 9.0.124.  This is an issue with Flex

Hello all,
I'm getting the error in Internet Explorer, (IE) when I try to run
any application from Flex Builder CS3. This shows up when I am in
Flex Builder CS3 and select Run on an application or when I open an
application in IE from the server if it was created in Flex. The error
is: "Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content
requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash" 

This just lets me go to adobe's page to get Flash Player. If I bring
up a page, in IE, on the web that has Flash, like adobe.com the Flash
Content loads fine and I can verify that I have the debug version of
the Flash Player. I even ran that install of the Flash player that I
got off
Adobe's site, the Debug version and it installs just fine. Still,
though I get the same error. This error only happens when I select
Run from the Flex Developer application or any file ever created in
Flex Builder and it only happens in IE.

Now, Firefox will load the Flash content created by Flex. However,
it gives me an error saying that it cannot access the xml file. I'll
include the full text of that error message below. It's long but I
don't know how much would be needed to understand and explain what is
going on. Hopefully the first couple lines will detail what is going
on. I did try removing the read-only attribute on the xml file, but
now that I think about it, that shouldn't matter as it is just
reading the file in the application. Oh, I did a search on this and a
few fixes were suggested but none of them seemed to work or I couldn't
find a file that I needed to edit. The fixes do only address how to
find a cfg file in Windows XP and there is no similar file on my
Windows Vista system at all.
See the error code below, please.
Thanks in advance,
Bruce

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Event Question

I agree your solution should be in binding, but definitely check out UM
anyway, if only for the fail/success callbacks on events. I've ripped off
that idea for some in-house stuff (I was in the middle of something less
elegant to achieve the same result when I heard about it), and it's
incredibly useful. You don't need direct coupling between UI, business, and
communication code, and you can keep things as simple and testable as
possible.

Re: [flexcoders] Application components - Canvas vs Box

Container is definitely only for a base class, it will always measure() to
0,0 and leave all added children as 0x0 at 0,0.

You could probably use it in the following situation:

1. You need to be using some sort of container for whatever reason (ie
adding it to something that only takes other containers)
2. You specify its width and height either explicitly or with CSS
3. You specify the width, height, and position of all its children
explicity.

IE, it's not much use as a container ;-)

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Event Question

2008-06-18 Thread Bjorn Schultheiss

I'm assuming Binding would be the easiest solution.
If your binding directly from your model to the advancedDataGrid
binding should take care of the updating for you..

Re: [flexcoders] Application components - Canvas vs Box

2008-06-18 Thread Richard Rodseth

Thanks. That's good to know about Box.
I believe Container is intended to be an abstract class, and while I was
able to use it as the root of an MXML document, it didn't seem to do
anything sensible (i.e. I couldn't see the children).

I guess if I was assured that Canvas is not horribly heavyweight (in speed
and memory footprint) relative to Box, that would be my preference, since I
can then avoid adding interim children in many cases. And a VBox nested
in/on a Canvas seems more intuitive than a Canvas nested in a Box.

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm Event Question

You can try Universal Mind Cairngorm Extensions:

http://code.google.com/p/flexcairngorm/

Among others it has these Event features:


   - Built-in support to transport responders for direct view or business
   logic callbacks.
   - Implementation of AnnounceFaultEvent to allow business logic to
   centralize error reporting and logging.
   - Implementation of EventGenerator to allow developers to automate
   dispatching of sequences of events.
   - Events now should self-dispatch... for direct deliver to the
   business/controller layer.

I did something like this with degrafa... I used the CSSSkin they have

[flexcoders] Generating AS3 code from Java

2008-06-18 Thread andrew.0000

Hi, 

I am using a Flex UI talking to a Blaze DS / Java backend.  The sever has a set 
of DTO 
objects used for talking to Flex and other web services. 

Is there any open source tools out there to generate the AS3 code from Java?  
This should 
be a fairly easy program to write using reflection, but someone must have done 
it before.

RE: [flexcoders] Tree itemRenderer not displaying as a tree?

2008-06-18 Thread Tracy Spratt

Here is an example of a TreeItemRenderer.  It adds lines between sibling nodes, 
and properly uses CommitProperties and UpdateDisplayList.

 

It is a good start for adapting to your own use.

It is Flex 2, might need some adjusting for Flex 3.

Re: [flexcoders] Diagonal (hatched) fill

I don't think there's anything built in, but you could create a Sprite, draw
your pattern, use it to create a BitmapData and use that as a fill. A few
steps, but should be able to get what you want, and you can do most of it
only once and keep the final BitmapData around.

There might be support for doing this sort of thing in DeGrafa though, so

[flexcoders] Cairngorm Event Question

2008-06-18 Thread donvoltz

I have been building on my cairngorm experience and have come up to a
snag.

I understand the whole idea about using the controller to trap and
respond to events, however, how do I deal with custom view components
that need to respond to an event.

For example, I have a custom component that contains an advanced data
grid. I am filling the modelLocator with data from the server and
using this as the data provider for the advanced data grid. The
problem I have is when the user selects a different date, I generate a
cairngorm event to load new data from the server. This information is
dealt with in the controller, however, I am not able to send the event
to the custom component to refresh the advance data grid and display
the data.

Would someone help me to understand how I can use the events, or
generate a new custom event to trigger some activity within a custom
view component

Thanks for the help

The first time I sent this, it only went to flexcoders-owner@ yahoogroups. com. 
I apologize to those who received it twice.

Maybe a mailing list like this isn't the best choice. Maybe it's time to create 
a more customized solution for solving our problems. I'd be happy to put 
something together (and even host it on my server) if you guys think it would 
be useful. I'm thinking a cross between a mailing list, phpBB, and digg would 
be nice. We could have a large number of tags the author could choose from, 
some sort of rating system for solutions, and easy-to-use search functionality.

I'm thinking a Flex front-end with BlazeDS to communicate with a clean and 
efficient Java back-end that's using Hibernate.

Again, if you think this would be useful and people are willing to offer some 
input as to what functionality we need, I'd be happy to work on it.

[flexcoders] Problems with Flash Player not recognized and problem with flex app loading xml

2008-06-18 Thread brucewhealton

Hello all,
I'm getting the error in Internet Explorer, (IE) when I try to run
any application from Flex Builder CS3. This shows up when I am in
Flex Builder CS3 and select Run on an application or when I open an
application in IE from the server if it was created in Flex. The error
is: "Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content
requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash"

This just lets me go to adobe's page to get Flash Player. If I bring
up a page, in IE, on the web that has Flash, like adobe.com the Flash
Content loads fine and I can verify that I have the debug version of
the Flash Player. I even ran that install of the Flash player that I

Adobe's site, the Debug version and it installs just fine. Still,
though I get the same error. This error only happens when I select
Run from the Flex Developer application or any file ever created in
Flex Builder and it only happens in IE.

Now, Firefox will load the Flash content created by Flex. However,
it gives me an error saying that it cannot access the xml file. I'll
include the full text of that error message below. It's long but I
don't know how much would be needed to understand and explain what is
going on. Hopefully the first couple lines will detail what is going
on. I did try removing the read-only attribute on the xml file, but
now that I think about it, that shouldn't matter as it is just
reading the file in the application. Oh, I did a search on this and a
few fixes were suggested but none of them seemed to work or I couldn't
find a file that I needed to edit. The fixes do only address how to
find a cfg file in Windows XP and there is no similar file on my
Windows Vista system at all.
See the error code below, please.
Thanks in advance,

2008-06-18 Thread gnu wolf

Hey Seth,

I'm not getting anything from the response, no headers and no status code.
Pretty weird.

I had this request headers tho:

POST /samples/messagebroker/http HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:9400
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14)

Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7

It seems like it's still talking to the HTTP channel and not the AMF
channel. If i'm using HTTPS, I should be talking to SecureAMFChannel, right?

I already enable SSL in my blazeDS tomcat and use a self-signed keystore
file.

RE: [flexcoders] Help on error: Invalid AMFX packet. Content must start with an node

2008-06-18 Thread Seth Hodgson

Hey Clem,

That raw request you're seeing is the client-side channel handshake with the 
server endpoint. This happens before any general messages/requests/data are 
shipped over the channel/endpoint connection. For some reason the response to 
this initial request isn't returning the server half of the handshake as valid 
AMFX. Do you see any other raw response info (say response headers and response 
status code) in addition to that odd body?

Once this initial connect-time handshake is working, the SOAP request will be 
sent to the server where it'll be proxied through to the actual target SOAP 
endpoint.

Re: [flexcoders] Application components - Canvas vs Box

2008-06-18 Thread Enjoy Jake

Actually, a box with only one child is optimized to layout extremely 
efficiently, so this is not a bad solution. Another possibility would be to use 
the Container class.

Subject: [flexcoders] Application components - Canvas vs Box

I tend to have quite a few MXML application components in my applications. Some 
are for re-use purposes, some are templates, some are for wiring together MVC 
triads, others are just for organization. I haven't noticed any performance 
issues due to the "extra" containers, some of which may have a single child 
providing the actual desired layout. I tend not to subclass components in 
ActionScript (though I obviously have plenty of other ActionScript classes, and 
a couple of  custom components)

I've also tended to use a lot of VBoxes and HBoxes in my layouts, though I'm 
using Canvases more and more.

I've tended to make each MXML component a VBox, sometimes changing them after 
the fact. But I'd rather just have an "organizational" root component that can 
have a script block and do whatever non-layout binding stuff I want, with a 
single child responsible for layout. i.e. less editing of the first few lines 
in the file. Something like mx:Module without the layout rules, I guess. The 
reader would skim over the small-as-possible script block, and see a first tag 
indicating the type of layout.

I see a couple of possibilities:
- Make each app component a Canvas, meaning I can dive in and position children 
absolutely and with constraints, but it also has the nice default of sizing to 
contain children, just like Box. Will often be adding a single VBox or HBox 
child. This is the way I'm leaning, but I'm not  sure how heavyweight Canvas is 
compared to Box.
- Box (editing direction as needed, or adding canvases or nested boxes)
- Custom. Is it possible to write a custom component that can be the root of an 
MXML file? It would be the simplest possible container, like a Box-of-one.

I'm interested to hear the practices of others.

Peter,

e4x is the new XML access notation that complies with ECMA. It will make
your life easy in your scenario by eliminating that ugly getChildren

In your case, here's how it would work:

public function hideShowFilterFunc(item:Object):Boolean{
   // item.name() is the name of the xml node, i.e. 
   if(item.name() == 'person'){
 return true;
   }else if(item.name() == 'Department'){

[flexcoders] Application components - Canvas vs Box

2008-06-18 Thread Richard Rodseth

I tend to have quite a few MXML application components in my applications.
Some are for re-use purposes, some are templates, some are for wiring
together MVC triads, others are just for organization. I haven't noticed any
performance issues due to the "extra" containers, some of which may have a
single child providing the actual desired layout. I tend not to subclass
components in ActionScript (though I obviously have plenty of other
ActionScript classes, and a couple of  custom components)

I've also tended to use a lot of VBoxes and HBoxes in my layouts, though I'm
using Canvases more and more.

I've tended to make each MXML component a VBox, sometimes changing them
after the fact. But I'd rather just have an "organizational" root component
that can have a script block and do whatever non-layout binding stuff I
want, with a single child responsible for layout. i.e. less editing of the
first few lines in the file. Something like mx:Module without the layout
rules, I guess. The reader would skim over the small-as-possible script
block, and see a first tag indicating the type of layout.

I see a couple of possibilities:
- Make each app component a Canvas, meaning I can dive in and position
children absolutely and with constraints, but it also has the nice default
of sizing to contain children, just like Box. Will often be adding a single
VBox or HBox child. This is the way I'm leaning, but I'm not  sure how
heavyweight Canvas is compared to Box.
- Box (editing direction as needed, or adding canvases or nested boxes)
- Custom. Is it possible to write a custom component that can be the root of
an MXML file? It would be the simplest possible container, like a
Box-of-one.

I'm interested to hear the practices of others.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flexbuilder 3 Out of Memory Error

jason,
FlexBuilder  is plugin for Eclipse. You are usually better of with J2EE
version of Eclipse and FB3 plugin as base Eclipse comes with nicer set of
facets. Personally, I never use standalone FB3.

To access PDE Runtime facilities you must first enable the PDE capabilities
in your FB3. To enable the PDE capabilities  in Eclipse :

   1. Click Window > Preferences to open the Preferences window.
   2. Expand General in the left hand pane, and click Capabilities.
   3. Click Advanced...
   4. Expand Development
   5. Select "Plug-in Development"
   6. Click OK or Apply to apply your changes.

Verify "PDE Runtime" appears in the Show View list.

Otherwise you can view error log in text viewer:

Help > About Eclipse > Configuration Details
>From there, click the "view error log" button. this will load the error log
in your web browser. Please note the file location if you want to monitor it
with external editor. Most likely it is
/yourworkspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/log

Josh - remember that one of the big issues with SOAP is that Flex doesn't
understand anything beyond a 200 response.

Looks to me like there's a problem with your namespaces in the bad request.
I don't know much about soap headers, but where's that "radarXML" namespace
coming from? 

The SOAP code in Flex 3 is stricter than Flex 2's, so besides a couple of
bugs it behaves better than Flex 2's SOAP code, but often when migrating it
will expose problems in your WSDLs or XSDs that appear to be bugs in Flex 3.
It could be that there's something in your schema that is including the
radarXML namespace for the outer  element, but your server isn't
actually expecting that so it's complaining, and you were just lucky that
flex 2's SOAP code didn't generate the request correctly.

What's the server returning? A 500? If it's a SOAP fault, what does it say?
One of the reasons you want to use Charles is that you can see the error
codes when you get an error code from the server, whereas the browser hides
the details from the Flash Player so they never make it back into Flex,
often hiding very useful troubleshooting information.

2008-06-18 Thread Rick Winscot

Mark -

 

If you have useProxy = true . then you would be using Flash Proxy/BlazeDS.
Just flipping the bit isn't going to do anything for you. As per your
example. What you see is the effect of the changes in the RPC bits in the
frameworks (2.0.1 vs. 3.0). So. again - what you see is what I would expect.
With regard to the crossdomain - the name is misleading with the addition of
meta-policy filters. The authorization elements apply to 'all' Flash
clients. on the same domain or not.

[flexcoders] Re: Flexbuilder 3 Out of Memory Error

2008-06-18 Thread Jason

>>Window->Show View->Other->PDE Runtime->Show Errors

Hmm, I don't see "Show View" under Window in FB3. I see Window > Other 
Views, but don't see PDE Runtime anywhere.

I added those params you suggested to the Eclipse shortcut, but the 
error is still there.  

Any other ideas?  So when Flexbuilder launches, it's really first 
Eclipse.exe and then it gets Flexbuilder added on to it somehow?

Havent tested this yet but might need to.
Since I have found the problem of missing newlines to be caused by my 'tail' 
program, Im 
simply saving the data from the textarea 'as is' to the database. When loading 
it again 
from the db, line breaks are intact so all is good, but the practise of storing 
line 
breaks in a database doesnt sit well with me so I might do something of an 
alternative 
solution...

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Splitting FlexCoders in smaller, focused groups

 From the perspective of someone who in his opinion is only just edging 
into the "advanced" category in Flex, I've been a lurker for many years 
but only just now gradually changing to a more active status on the list.

To me, the volume of emails to the list was intimidating, until I 
decided to manage my lists a little better through Thunderbird 
filtering, and be disciplined about the time I take every day to review 
the list, so it doesn't impact my productivity, much like I do every day 
with the MXNA.

So I'm not convinced that splitting up the list simply to make things 
more efficient and the volume less intimidating for some people 
outweighs the potential risks. I agree with Tim Hoff (16/06/2008 10:53 
PM) -- my concern is less for new users and lurkers than it is for 
frequent posters who are the lifeblood of this community, having to 
divide their precious attention from one list to however-many, which 
would dilute the quality of all lists, and could ultimately lead to 
abandonment by regular users on all lists.

A community such as this must be a delicate balance between questions 
and answers, new users and advanced users, lurkers and frequent 
contributors. My concern is that for many, the formula works, our 
numbers are steady, and there is still a huge number of A-list 
participation. In attempting to improve the list, we could be killing it 
-- so we need to be very sure of our data before proceeding IMO.

A FAQ would be very welcome, as would Doug's recommendation for most 
commonly asked threads, as would tags, regardless of what the decision 
is on the split.

But I would request that FAQ links and tag keywords be indicated in the 
signature of each email from the list, so that the many users who don't 
use the yahoo list's web interface can easily find the info and know 
what tags to use without having to switch between their mail client and 
a browser, otherwise having a FAQ and anything else apart from the 
emails is pointless.

In fact, just having a FAQ and encouraging the use of tags could help 
many with list post management, and provide this list the "boost" it 
needs without taking drastic measures. This would be my request, and my 
recommendation. In addition, we could even include in the FAQ some "post 
management strategies," such as filtering, tagging and colour-coding to 
help users manage the flow.

And I would suggest an automated email generated by an algorithm with 
some text like "You have not posted in ___ months..." or "You have now 
unsubscribed..." followed by "please help us make flexcoders a better 
community experience by telling us why you have _"

This would be a far less intrusive and intimidating follow up and data 
collection method than an email personally send from a moderator, 
especially one from Adobe. Some people might perceive such attention as 
singling them out, and using an autogenerated email would eliminate the 
manpower necessary to collect data on infrequent/unsubscribed accounts.

If we do decide to split the list at all, I would keep the number small 
just to make sure. My recommendation would be to split things into just 
three lists:
flexcoders
flexnewbie
flexenterprise

Even though the definitions are a little fuzzy, I think flexnewbie could 
be defined as not the difficulty of the question but the experience the 
user perceives themselves to be at, so there may very well be advanced 
and newbie questions on both lists, and that's okay. Likewise there will 
probably be some crossover into the flexenterprise list. I think it's 
fair to say that questions involving a substantial amount of "Java/data 
services/large teams/enterprise workflows" would qualify, without 
requiring the definition of "enterprise" be defined with scientific 
precision to participate. Too narrow a definition is a recipe for 
failure, any new the list needs to be defined without being too 
exclusive IMO.

Thanks for listening,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Splitting FlexCoders in smaller, focused groups

I think in dividing a list bursting at the seams, it seems, with too 
many diverse posts, that we don't forget that other list from which many 
migrated from when Flex 2/AS3 came out:Flashcoders.

Flashcoders (and the newer Flash_Tiger) serves as a wellspring of 
AS3/Flash API info, so I wonder how practical an ActionscriptCoders list 
would be. And general UI design is also covered in some extent in 
Flashcoders, since they deal with many of the same issues.

People make announcements related to open source projects all the time, 
and the rest should be for blogs, which is more a broadcast medium than 
lists, so the FlexAnnouncements list might not do so well.

How about this:

Existing
- FlashCoders
- FlashNewbie
- FlashTiger
- FlexCoders
- FlexComponents
- ApolloCoders (which would do well to change its name ;)
- FlexJobs

New (proposed)
- FlexNewbies
- FlexEnterprise

...and we see how they do before branching any more.

Hi there... say I have a component like:

And I want to add a custom state when this component is used:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";

How would i do this? My issues are obviously that the types do not

You can try weborb or flexjobs as examples of clearly distinct and moderated

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flexbuilder 3 Out of Memory Error

Jason,
   It might us help if you add log of the message. Extra info might be
available via Window->Show View->Other->PDE Runtime->Show Errors.

In either case you need to bump your PermGen space - given the memory you
have -Xmx512 is low - go to eclipse shortcut, rightmouse->properties, then
add this:
C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -clean  -vmargs -Xms512m -Xmx800m -XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=384m

Also please low one of the plugins that monitors JVM memory so you can
optimize memory usage for your project.

[flexcoders] Re: Flexbuilder 3 Out of Memory Error

2008-06-18 Thread Jason

So I need to revive this thread. The original problem is that a co-
worker was getting an Out of Memory error in FB3 (See post and 
response from Sherif Abdou below).  Now I have the same problem.  
Both of us had been developing with the Flex 2 SDk and Flexbuilder 
2.  We recently upgraded to Flexbuilder 3 and both of us are getting 
these error when we attempt to compile our project.

This is a large project (at least, from our perspective).  However, 
if we create small, simple Flex 3 projects, they compile just fine.

Also, if we build with FlashDevelop and the Flex 3 SDK, it also 
compiles fine.  We tried modifying the eclipse.ini file as directed, 
but with no luck.  Also tried increasing paging size in Windows for 
Flex with no luck.

Both of us have 2GB of RAM.  Any ideas?

Hi Zee,

You can determine the column by looking at listData.columnIndex from
within the itemRenderer.

[flexcoders] How to rotate a Combo Box

2008-06-18 Thread wyattwang


Here's the problem. 

After setting myComboBox.rotation = 270 the box itself can be rotated.
But the dropdown and textInput inside won't rotate.

By extending the mx:ComboBox, dropdown.rotation = 270 will work, but
the textInput.rotation = 270 does not work. Font Arial was embedded
into the application. How to make the textInput inside rotate to 270?

[flexcoders] AIR/LCDS/EJB Authentication lost when a different RTPM worker thread is used

2008-06-18 Thread taze170171

Hi!

I am setting up the security for Flex to work together with the EJB 3 
Container security. The user should login within the AIR application 
via a custom login screen and the authentication should be verified 
against the configured JBoss login module. For all further ds 
requests the authorization check should be done for every EJB method 
by the EJB container. All  EJB methods have a 
@javax.annotation.security.RolesAllowed(...) anotation.

The EJBs are called within an assembler.

In principle the process works until the EJB is called by a new RTPM 
worker thread. Within the new RTPM thread the principal is null and 
the authorization fails.

I have setup the security as follows:
*  The custom security and tomcat valve have been setup as described 
in the lcds docu (copy jars, copy context.xml)
* The services-config.xml contains the following part:
...



Custom

FLEX



...

* The data-management-config.xml contains the following part:





...


* The login is performed within the mxml as follows:

var token:AsyncToken = ds.connect();
token.addResponder(
  new AsyncResponder(
function():void
{
  if (ds.connected)
  {
var channelSet : ChannelSet = ds.channelSet;
var token : AsyncToken = channelSet.login("user", "pwd");

token.addResponder(new AsyncResponder
(
function(event:ResultEvent, token:Object=null):void
{
switch(event.result)
{
  case "success":
  Alert.show("Login success");
...

I get the success result and when the first ejb calls are performed 
from the data service assembler the prinicipal is set and the 
authorization works.

But if the EJB is called within another RTPM worker thread no 
principal is set and the authorization fails.

How can I share the security login context over more than one worker 
thread?

Thanks in advance,
taze

[flexcoders] PrintJob strange behavior

2008-06-18 Thread matn1_mike

I was wondering why the following occurs, if anyone has an idea?

I have a PrintJob very similar to the way the Flex 3 Cookbook
describes how to add the Job to the main app.

parentApp.addChild(printView);

The problem I see, is that if the printView is any MXML component
which holds my labels and printGrid, upon adding it to the parentApp
using the function call above, all my fields get reinitialized after
this method call, and it doesn't matter. scope either.

For example if I have a MXML file call FormTemplate.mxml with my
labels and printGrid to print and define it like
printview:FormTemplate.mxml = new FormTemplate.mxml(), then add my
data to the labels and printGrid upon the call to add to parent
app.these fields get re-initialized

Yet if I define, any variables of the main types below, all my data is
retained after the function call. So its like subclasses get
reininialized, but direct parents do not.

Below types retain there values
protected var printDataGrid:PrintDataGrid = null;
protected var label1:Label = null;

[flexcoders] Copy non-embedded files to output folder property

2008-06-18 Thread bick

What determines which files are copied to the output folder when
compiling a project?

For example, I have src/main.mxml and it attempts to load an XML doc
using URLLoader:

--

var request : URLRequest = new URLRequest("data/config.xml");
var loader = new URLLoader;
loader.load(request);

--

When it compiles, I'd like to have my data folder copied to bin-debug.

I know I can do this using Ant but I was hoping that the property
found in the project properties:

Copy non-embedded files to output folder

would be useful. I can't seem to get anything other than the standard
folders to show up in bin-debug (history, etc.)

Any ideas?

RE: [flexcoders] flash9f.ocx crashes

2008-06-18 Thread Jonathon Stierman

I did run a profile last night.  As far as I can tell, everything is
normal... 

 

Peak Memory: 3486 k

Current Memory: 1482 k

 

3486k isn't anything that should be causing the system to run out of
memory and crash.  There aren't any class instances hanging around that
shouldn't be there.  Memory doesn't "staircase up" after the GC runs.
Everything appears to be collected properly.  Unless I am
mis-interpreting the data... If someone feels so kind as to take a look
at a snapshot and confirm my interpretations, here's an image of what
I'm analyzing.  I left the profiler on over-night, and this is what I
came in to in the morning - so there are *lots* of cumulative instances
for a few classes: http://jonathon.wmtstaging.com/profile.jpg 

 

This app does load static .swf's on a timely basis (every 2 seconds or
so).  I vaguely remember hearing that loading external .swf files can
cause memory issues - could that be the case?  And would those leaks not
be present in the profiler?

 

On a related note - "Peak Memory: 3486 k."   What exactly does that
mean?  When I've watched the app run inside IE7 or Firefox, the browsers
memory usage increases far more than 3 megs worth.  Is there really that
much browser overhead when running Flash apps?

You can try weborb or flexjobs as examples of clearly distinct and moderated

I think a bit more background on your app would be helpful. It sounds
like you're receiving a response from the server that isn't correctly
encoded AMFX, meaning that you're using an HTTPChannel to connect the
client to the server. What is being invoked on the server specifically?

If you monitor your HTTP traffic using something like Charles, what does
the raw response being returned to the player look like?

Why doesn't the following mx:Tree display as a tree? Instead, all nodes have 
the same indentation for some reason. Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Help on error: Invalid AMFX packet. Content must start with an node

2008-06-18 Thread Seth Hodgson

I think a bit more background on your app would be helpful. It sounds
like you're receiving a response from the server that isn't correctly
encoded AMFX, meaning that you're using an HTTPChannel to connect the
client to the server. What is being invoked on the server specifically?

If you monitor your HTTP traffic using something like Charles, what does
the raw response being returned to the player look like?

[flexcoders] Re: ColumnSet vs Multiple axes

2008-06-18 Thread Tim Hoff


Hi Richard,

For a work-around, first give each ColumnSeries an id.  If you also want
to change the z-order, give the ColumnSet an id as well.  Then, on
CreationComplete, do something like this to offset the columns and/or
change the depth.

private function onCreationComplete(): void
{
 // offset columns
 myFirstColumnSeries.move(-8,0);
 mySecondColumnSeries.move(myFirstColumnSeries.x+16,0);

 // change depth (z-order)
 myColumnSet.swapChildren(myFirstColumnSeries,mySecondColumnSeries);
}

If a topic falls into multiple categories wouldn't it be logical to post to
all lists that apply.  Otherwise there might be a knowledgeable person out
there you didn't reach.  Wouldn't that be "legitimate" cross-posting?

I was going to propose that we add a separate list for discussions on
whether or not the list should be split up into smaller lists, but I
suppose that would come of as fatuous, and that I think discussions like
this are not important. They are. So, as just another flexcoders user,
I'll second Doug's opinion.

Out of the last 100 threads on flexcomponents 22 were cross posted to
flexcoders. Almost every one (I think with one exception) was
cross-posted by the original author immediately to both lists
(sometimes as many as 5 lists! flexcoders, flex_india, flexcomponents,
ria-india). One of them was pretty much spam, and one of them was a
job post (which shouldn't have been posted to flexcoders or
flexcomponents, but only flexjobs).

If we look at flexcomponents as a microcosm, then we have: 22%
crossposting (1% legitimate cross-posting) and 2% spam.

Yeah, this isn't a scientific survey (although I do hope to get real
results comparing the full traffic of both lists soon). But I just
thought it was interesting.

[flexcoders] Possible to post an array with HTTPService?

2008-06-18 Thread Rick Schmitty

Can you do something like

var params:Object = new Object();
params.name=myNameVar;
params.hobbies=myArrayVar;

service.send(params);

Seems on the PHP end it just takes the last value in the hobbies
array.  When I view this in service capture, it shows

name='Rick'
hobbies='needlework'
hobbies='curling'
hobbies=golf'

and doing var_dump($_POST)
you just see


array(2) {
  ["namel"]=>
  string(4) "Rick"
  ["hobbies"]=>
  string(4) "golf"
}

[flexcoders] Re: Problem with getting most recently inserted ArrayCollection item

2008-06-18 Thread bredwards358

I've had a thought, would it be possible to add an event listener to
well, something that would fire the insert function on dragComplete?
If not then perhaps would it be best to call a function which compares
the data to already existing data either in the database through
select statements or against another arrayCollection somehow? I'm just
throwing ideas around to help find a solution to my issue.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Splitting FlexCoders in smaller, focused groups

Hello Tom,

>>How is >1 list simpler than 1 list ?<<

The same way "threads by the topic" are simplier then unsorted individual
email - you read only the ones you need and fold the rest. While you can
argue that you can sort and fold messages with some client email
customization, it is not a trivial task unless your server or client
supports it.

Basically weborb is 10 messages a day, apollo is 1 and flexcomponents are 2
- I can manage that in my daily emails. Imagine that we separated the main
list in subtopics and one of them would be "dashboards, charts and BI" -
getting 5-10 messages a day - would you rather moderate that or whole
list? Would it get up in your inbox? What are the chances that a single
mail  would get missed by specialist? What about the quality of the answer?
Visibility of all questions and answers on the topic? Am I the only one who
thinks that libraries place books by category for convenience and access
simplicity?

There is nothing simple about fishing in 100+ items. Tom, as BI specialist
you know firsthand that sorting data in the beginning eliminates order of
magnitude processing later. Let us apply it to our daily life.

>> But if there are too many they'll just post to them all. <<

There are 2 types of crossposting people - the ones who did not receive the
answer in the previous forum and the ones who cross post from the get go.
The first type is OK - moderator or users can point them to a different
forum. There are periods in flexcomponents that every second message gets
"RTFM" or "go to flexcoders" responses. The second type needs some
discipline. Here is what moderators and users do - saying this is not
appropriate forum, remove the message to make life easier for the rest,
giving warning bans for a day - however harsh it sounds, it works. The goal
is to service the community - not to do somebodies homework. If the forums
are speedy and high quality the crossposting ceases.

I have seen heavily moderated product forums on compuserve (yes, before
Internet) 15 years ago. You had less then one hour response (datetime
US) time on 90+% of the questions. The volume was about 500 messages across
20 forums. "General" list was getting about 100 threads, the rest were much
smaller, The answers would be actually correct ones. Vendors would have team
of community moderators that would answer 50%+ of the questions in their
domain - with multiple moderators per topic. There was very little
repetition of the questions as people could search much better.

Things come in cycles. Please consider this as "best practices" from the
historical point.

*Now for the next cycle - can single list be better then multiple lists -
the answer is yes, but not now*
The only way I can see single as an alternative to multiple list is to
enforce tagging of the questions. That in turn means next generation of
email clients or forcing everybody to use RSS type readers instead of email.
We will get to it in a few years, its requires serious update to the email
system. Next generations of email that are to be spam proof can make
topics/tagging exchange a part of handshake protocol. Till then there is no
enforceable way to sort the messages on the senders end.

Sincerely,
Anatole Tartakovsky

[flexcoders] Menu Styling corrupts menu separator and size

2008-06-18 Thread Greg Hess

Hi All,

I am trying to style my application menus but have run into problems
when I use separators as menu items or set 'variableRowHeight' to
true. My menu style is as follows:

Menu
{
rollOverColor: #00;
selectionColor: #00;
backgroundColor: #161515;   
}

When I emply this global style I have two problems with how the menu is drawn.

1. The menu separator is drawn as a double line or it has a shadow or something
2. If I set the 'variableRowHeight' property to true the menu is
clipped at the bottom and the last item only partialy shows

If I remove the style from my CSS it works fine, but does not meet the
UI design and clipping issue is still present. However, if I remove my
CSS entirly the menu does not get clipped, I must have some CSS class
that is corrupting my menu style I tried to specify the separator
class with a custom image, but again it is drawing a double line... I
am stumped not sure what in my CSS could be conflicting.

The only CSS styles that I can think could be affecting are:

global
{
themeColor: #66;

/* Text Styles */
color: #cc;
fontStyle: normal;
fontWeight: normal;
fontSize: 10;
fontFamily: Arial;
letterSpacing: 1;
textSelectedColor: #FF;
textRollOverColor: #FF;
textAlign: left;

/* Modal window effect */
modalTransparency: 0.5;
modalTransparencyBlur: 0;
modalTransparencyColor: black;
modalTransparencyDuration: 200;
}

/* Application Font */
@font-face
{
fontFamily: Arial;
fontWeight: normal;
fontStyle: normal;
src: local("Arial");
}

Application
{   
backgroundColor: #00;
paddingBottom: 0;
paddingTop: 0;
paddingRight: 0;
paddingLeft: 0;
verticalGap: 0;
horizontalGap: 0;
}

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Greg

[flexcoders] addChild and transition issue

2008-06-18 Thread giopaia

I have two states 
and possibility to jump between them.
All works fine until one click
inadvertently goes faster than the transition...

then I get an "already parented" error on the addchild...

To explain better:
If I go from state a to state b
and viceversa waiting the transition 
times no problem occurs...
If I jump from state a to state b then
back to state a without waiting the full 
time of the transition the "already parented" 
error occurs.
from what I understood if you jump from one state
to another in the middle of a transition the played
effect gets stopped and the new one starts...
shouldn't there be a similar mechanism for
child adding/removing?


Any idea how to bypass the problem or stop the error 
from blocking/messing all the GUI structure?
thanks
Gio

Re: [flexcoders] ColumnSet vs Multiple axes

Thanks, but the chart is showing two different periods of data (same

if I could disassociate the one series from its axis, but leave the axis
there.

Use a Canvas parent container and you should be ok with negative  
positioning.


An HBox overrides the positions of it's children, the children don't  
position themselves.


Then, just create some transition tags and set moveEffect="Move" on

[flexcoders] Unable to Find the parent of a newly added Sub Node in a Tree..

2008-06-18 Thread sk_acura

Hi All,

  I have a Simple Tree whose Data Provider is an ArrayCollection of
Custom ActionScript Node Object (the code is listed below..)

  When i add a new Child Node to any of the Nodes in the Tree i can
get the parent of this Node without any problems..

  How ever when i try to add a new Child Node for the Previously added
Node i cannot get the Parent of the newly added Child Node..!!!

  Initial Tree:
 Root
 Node-1

  1) Add a Child Element to Node-1

 Root
 Node-1
ChildNode-1

 Now i can get the parent of the ChildNode-1 

  2) Now add a new Child to childNode-1

 Root
 Node-1
 ChildNode-1
ChildOfChildNode-1

  Now i cannot get the parent of ChildOfChildNode-1 !!!

   I am calling the getParent() method by passing the ChildNode and it
returns null..(the same method above returns the correct parent )

 Here is the code i am using..

TreeNode.as:

[CODE]
package test
{
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

public class TreeNode
{
public function TreeNode()
{
}

public var nodeId:String;
public var nodeLabel:String;
public var parentId:String;
public var children:ArrayCollection;
public var parent:Node;

public function toString():String{
return "TreeNode[ 
nodeId="+nodeId+",nodeLabel="+nodeLabel+",
parentId ="+parentId+"]";
}

}
}
[/CODE]

TreeTest.mxml:

[CODE]

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



















[/CODE]


  Once i add a child to a node the tree's dataProvider is getting
updated internally (i am not making an explicit call.. Do i need to
call a method to refresh the tree dataProvider ?? I checked the
valiedateNow() but i guess they are for checking whether the UI needs
a repaint ..

Thanks
