Hi,

I plan to use Flex ,LCDS and web service to build a flex application.

But I do not have a idea how to set up the project in Flex builder 3.

LCDS web root is C:\lcds\jrun4\ servers\default.

Please give me a idea.Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] MXML component with multiple controls as an itemRenderer

[Alex Harui]

Read up on renderers on my blog.

 

To have a multiple field editor, you have to implement
IFocusManagerComponent and handle setFocus, then handle keyFocusChange
and call preventDefault() when you want to switch fields.  Search the
internet for examples.

In my experience Flash never obeyed the No-Cache metatag since I began working 
with Flash in version 4, it supposedly doesn't work for plugins, just the HTML 
of the page itself.

The problem is not one of caching -- the browser will always cache the SWF 
unless you use some form of dynamic SWF encryption like Nitro-LM -- but that 
the 
browser uses the cashed SWF more than once.

The best way to ensure that the browser always reloads the SWF from the server 
and not the cache, is to use SWFObject or JS to instantiate the OBJECT/EMBED 
tags for the flash plugin, and at the end of the SWF filename, append the 
following JS:

... myApp.swf?"+(new Date()).getTime() ...

This will create a unique string at the end of the filename, and the browser 
will think it's a unique file every time, thus loading the SWF from the server, 
every time.

What I did was modify the index.template.html file to work with SWFObject, and 
append that JS on the end while I'm testing my application.

See if that works.

Hello all, 
I am working on a project that is using Flex 3, php5 and mysql.

2. The tree has to be drag and drop, then the data base needs to be
updated.
3. I have to close the tree.

[flexcoders] Debugging Panel in Flex

[fullerseth1992]

I'm working on some debugging panels for Flex and to teach me more
about events and Flex Layout.

I've created a that will descend through a container's children and
their children, etc. and make each screen element a different color
and create a tooltip showing each component's x and y values, width,
height, and name.

Now I'm trying to create a popup window the code below this paragraph.
I've set up a right-click mouse event that triggers this function. The
ShowContainer class is an ActionScript class I've created derived from
TitleWindow. When I get the parent object in the createPopup function
it shows the container i right-clicked on. In the ShowContainer class
though, when I access its parent property it is null. Also I get
multiple copies of the ShowContainer window since several levels of
containers or controls have this event registered. I tried calling the
stopPropogate and then the stopImmediatePropogate methods in the event
handler, but that didn't seem to work. What did I do wrong.

protected function createPopup(event:MouseEvent):void {
  var showCont:ShowContainer = new ShowContainer();
  var parObj:DisplayObject = null;
  parObj = event.target as DisplayObject;
  if (null == parObj) {
trace('DebugPanel.createPopup parObj == null');
parObj = event.currentTarget as DisplayObject;
  }
  if (null == parObj) {
trace('DebugPanel.createPopup parObj == null');
  }
  else {
trace('DebugPanel.createPopup parObj == ' + parObj.toString());
  }

  PopUpManager.addPopUp(showCont, parObj, false);
}

RE: [flexcoders] THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NUTS

[Tim Rowe]

Though you seem to have this figured out, might I suggest that you add a
build number to your compiled project somewhere that you can verify when
loading it?  This will at least help you determine what version you're
getting, whether it's coming from cache etc.

The cache problem has been mentioned by many - it might be worth noting
from my experience Flash doesn't always honour http meta tags such as
No-Cache.

 

Though others have already picked it to death, what is it that indicated
to you that it 'does not compile'.  If it's just that it appears to do
very little, remember that like most common compilers, Flex does
incremental building and linking.

RE: [flexcoders] Inspecting data from HTTPService result to an ArrayCollection

A DataGrid can directly consume both XMLList and XMLListCollection. 

 

Search the archives for a full discussion of DataGrid performance.  Also
these blog entries: http://blog.fastlanesw.com/?p=14

  I think it was Scott who brought

This really only seems to be a major factor when you have many visible

Tracy, 

can a datagrid read an xml object directly?  (Like, an XMLList or

better than the original XML?  Does it have something to do with the
strong typing?

It is a rare case that you want to use mx:Model or the default
resultFormat="object".  You take the performance hit for the conversion,
you have no control over the conversion process (your strings that look
like numbers will get converted to numbers, willy nilly) and you wind up
with dynamic objects, which have an access peformance penalty.

 

I advise using resultFormat="e4x", a result handler function, and an
instance variable to hold the xmlResult.

 

The best performance, especially in a multi-renderer DataGrid, will be
if you manually convert the XML node data ino an ArrayCollection of
strongly typed value objects.

Ah, got it. 

The  tag converts everything to a flat object.  So the minute
you use it, you no longer have xml. 

It's still easy enough to loop through though.  

var result:Object = myData.getItemAt(0);
for (var name:String in result)
{
trace(name + " :: " + result[name]);
}

should output

I extended the programmatic skin class, and drew into

RE: [flexcoders] Refreshing array inside a DataGrid itemRenderer

You can pass an array into a List or ComboBox and it will display it.

Subject: [flexcoders] Refreshing array inside a DataGrid itemRenderer

 

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Flex, so I'm sure I'm missing the obvious. But here's
the situation: inside a custom component, I am displaying the contents
of an Actionscript Object (custom class).

I have a DataGrid bound to an ArrayCollection which is one of the
properties of the Object. The source array contains Value Objects which
are populated by a RemoteObject call to ColdFusion. One property of the
Value Object is also an array. So it looks like this:

Object:Config has an itemAC property. The itemAC contains an array of
Item objects. The Item is the VO. The Item contains an options:Array.
The options:Array contains optionItems. One of the properties of an
optionItem is an optionName.

So the DataProvider for my DG is {config.itemAC}. This is fine.

However, I need one column of my DG to show a simple list of the
associated optionNames.

I can't make the options:Array within the Item VO an ArrayCollection, or
Flex will not translate the objects sent by ColdFusion into a typed AS
object. 

So I have created an itemRenderer for the DG, in which I loop over the
options:Array in the current row's data and build a string. But of
course, this has to be updated as options are added to the array. I have
tried placing a datachange listener inside the renderer itself; but when
it fires, it's creating an infinite loop -- to the point where I can't
even debug it.

At this point, I'm basically spinning wheels and I could use a little
direction. I realize this whole problem sounds pretty vague; but any
advice would be appreciated.

Hi all,
here is the test application: drag some data from the left list to
the 
datagrid until it display a vertical srollbar, then, as the mouse moved
(not 
click down), the datagrid will response the mousemove event and scroll.

the scrollbar will not response the movement of the mouse if the

response the mouse movement for the drop action.

so, anyone knows how can I remove this listener as the drop is over?

Re: [flexcoders] remover water mark from Trial version

   Wrong advices Since I have Flex 2, I guess I just
   need to upgrade it to 3, Instead of buying it 3 :-).
   Just kidding. Well I think that since the trial version
   is going to expire in 60 days there was no point
   of putting the water mark.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Reference to mxml id from within mxml component

[Sean Clark Hess]

Hi Ted.

1. Oh, right... the mouse events bubble, so they are fired not only for your
components, but for whatever you actually clicked on underneath it.  It
looks like I used event.currentTarget instead of event.target.  Can you
trace (event.target) and see if it is actually the component you wanted?

2. Try fixing 1 and seeing if that fixes

3. You needed to import flash.display.Spirte;  Google "flex 3 language
reference".  you can find everything there.  The only reason I used sprite
was because that was the class that defines startDrag.  Normally, if all the
components were the same (all of type ComponentA), I would do
event.currentTarget as ComponentA, since that's more specific.  Since all
flex components are UIComponents, which are sprites, they all have the
startDrag event.  you would have to import your ComponentA though.  You
could have done event.currentTarget as UIComponent just as easily (import
mx.core.UIComponent).

Thanks Sean!

I've only just started playing with your suggestion - it seems to work
fine but there are some things I'm going to need to dig into before I
fully understand what's going on:

1. Not only do my components drag around fine, but the components
*within* those components now also drag around. Interesting, but not
what I expected. I'm going to have to figure out how to lock those
internal parts of the component.

2. There is some text that I'm displaying within the components. It
appears that this text is not allowed to be dragged, and when I click
on the text to drag it an error is thrown.

3. I now need to add an additional line of code "import
flash.display.*". I didn't need that before - presumably I need it now
to cast the component into a Sprite. Not sure which part of
flash.display.* I actually need.

All the best!

Re: [flexcoders] Inspecting data from HTTPService result to an ArrayCollection

[Sean Clark Hess]

Tracy,

can a datagrid read an xml object directly?  (Like, an XMLList or
XMLListCollection?)  If so, why would manually converting it perform better
than the original XML?  Does it have something to do with the strong typing?

Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] Inspecting data from HTTPService result to an ArrayCollection

[Tracy Spratt]

It is a rare case that you want to use mx:Model or the default
resultFormat="object".  You take the performance hit for the conversion,
you have no control over the conversion process (your strings that look
like numbers will get converted to numbers, willy nilly) and you wind up
with dynamic objects, which have an access peformance penalty.

 

I advise using resultFormat="e4x", a result handler function, and an
instance variable to hold the xmlResult.

 

The best performance, especially in a multi-renderer DataGrid, will be
if you manually convert the XML node data ino an ArrayCollection of
strongly typed value objects.

Ah, got it. 

The  tag converts everything to a flat object.  So the minute
you use it, you no longer have xml. 

It's still easy enough to loop through though.  

var result:Object = myData.getItemAt(0);
for (var name:String in result)
{
trace(name + " :: " + result[name]);
}

should output
apple :: 81768
orange :: 60310
banana :: 43357

I wasn't right, the grid is enabled.
I have added this to the grid:
addEventListener("itemFocusIn", itemFocusInHandler);

itemFocusInHandler does not fire.

RE: [flexcoders] Simple text vs htmlText length question

Try using \n instead of \r.

 

Also try seeing whether setting textField.condenseWhite to true or false
before setting textField.htmlText affects it.

[flexcoders] Re: List displaying wrong information - RESOLVED

[Tim Hoff]

The set Data method is the correct place to do this; since itemRenderers
get recycled.  Using creationComplete will only fire the first time that
the itemRenderer is instantiated.  From then on, the same renderer may
be re-used in another cell with different data; after actions like
scrolling.   This makes perfect sense why the displayed data wasn't
changed.

"how do I detect changes to the data property?"

use the data setter.

[flexcoders] Simple text vs htmlText length question

[cmalartre]

Why does the simple code below output:

-
text.length : 4
textField.length : 4
text : '1

2'
textField.text : '12'
-

and not:
-
textField.text : '1

2'

Re: [flexcoders] Question about ContextMenu and dataGrid

[Sean Clark Hess]

You can't click the row with enabled = false.  But if you set enabled =
true, and hid the two indicators, you could easily use the itemFocusIn event
to know what you clicked.

Re: [flexcoders] How to post values from a swf widget to a backend server

Use this.mouseX and this.mouseY to get the point, then on the click handler
create a new instance of HTTPService and pass them as parameters (see the
documentation)

Re: [flexcoders] Inspecting data from HTTPService result to an ArrayCollection

[Sean Clark Hess]

Ah, got it.

The  tag converts everything to a flat object.  So the minute you
use it, you no longer have xml.

It's still easy enough to loop through though.

var result:Object = myData.getItemAt(0);
for (var name:String in result)
{
trace(name + " :: " + result[name]);
}

should output
apple :: 81768
orange :: 60310
banana :: 43357

[flexcoders] How to post values from a swf widget to a backend server

[pankajtandon2003]

Hello,
I've got a flex swf Panel say that I'm asking the user to click on.
Once he has clicked, I would like to sent a http request (preferably a
POST) to a back end server with the values of the coordinates of the
point he has clicked on.

Any suggestions on how I could affect this?

TIA,

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder Eclipse Builder Syntax Checking

[steve.baney]

FIXED:

I'm still not sure exactly what was messing me up, but I reverted to
the root version from my CVS repository and slowly updated the files
from my newest version, testing the error checking and that the
project would still build after updating each file.  Fortunately I
hadn't coded too much in the current branch yet, so it didn't take to
long to bring the root version up to speed.

Thanks for all the help!

Re: [flexcoders] Reference to mxml id from within mxml component

[Sean Clark Hess]

Yes, use event.target.

private function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
{
(event.target as Spirte).startDrag();
}

The reason why your last two things don't work is because, unlike
javascript, "this" and "id" would refer to the parent component (e.g. the
file you are currently editing).  So, if you want to pass "id" you have to
pass "ComponentCId.id" (like you did in #2).  Or, if you want to pass "this"
you have to pass "ComponentDId"

This way is very consistent... this always just refers to the file your
working in.  It's always easy to drill down anyway.

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

You have to do it serverside -- for example, if you're using PHP, you have
to change Apache's maximum upload size for that domain.

Do a search for error 2038 in these forums though, I thought I saw another
couple of threads about it.

Re: [flexcoders] Inspecting data from HTTPService result to an ArrayCollection

[Sean Clark Hess]

What do you get when you trace myData.getItemAt(0)?  That will return null
if it isn't an XML.  You can do this too:

trace("CHECK : " + (myData.getItemAt(0) is XML));

You can check to see if it is an XMLList too, but I thought looking at it,
it seemed like a flat xml.

[flexcoders] Reference to mxml id from within mxml component

[edlueze]

I am trying to refer to the id field for an mxml component from within
that component so I can pass it back to some actionscript.

Consider this example: I want to be able to drag components around a
panel by calling mouseDown/mouseUp from within the mxml component
definition. The first two components work (ComponentA and ComponentB)
but the second two components don't work (ComponentC and ComponentD).

Being able to reference the component id from within the mxml
component provides a little more scalability. Perhaps there is a
better way altogether?

[flexcoders] #2038: File I/O Error

[lytvynyuk]

I getting this error, but when I put breakpoint at my server side code
nothing coming through!! When I created little HTML page with file
upload filed to same servlet location - IT WORKS!

I used "Live HTTP headers" to see activity on HTTP requests -
nothing nothing going through, also I used Wireshark - same effect.

So what is going on ? any Ideas?

AS code is extremely simple:

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = UPLOAD_URL;
fr.upload(request);
fileNameLabel.text = fr.name;

[flexcoders] Re: Issues panning a swf loaded via SWFLoader

[djepyon]

Figured out the problem here. I was moving the content within the
SWFLoader instead of the SWFLoader itself. Moving the SWFLoader in a
canvas object with clipContent = true solved the problem.

Much thanks for the tip Sean.

Ah... the truth come out.  Ok, thanks, that's good to know.  I don't mind

[flexcoders] Re: Socket does not connect on FP9 r45

[valdhor]

BlazeDS does exactly what your custom solution does (Albeit more
stably). The only caveat is that you would need a Java Servlet
container (eg. Tomcat, JBoss) and you would need to learn Java.

Sounds like you're not updating the properties on your itemRenderer 
when the data is changed:

http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/item_renderers/

http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pent/archives/2008/03/itemrenderers_p.html

[flexcoders] Re: List displaying wrong information - RESOLVED

[nathanpdaniel]

In my itemRenderer, on CreationComplete I was calling a function which
set two variables.  From those variables I was displaying information. 
If I take out those variables and use the "data" property instead, it
works.  I don't like that but, I guess that's just how it works.
It does bring up another question though:  if I wanted to do it the
other way, how do I detect changes to the data property?  The dataChange
event doesn't do it (unless I'm using it wrong).  I can use the
updateComplete but it fires off every time there's any type of
interaction with it (a bit overkill).

Re: [flexcoders] Inspecting data from HTTPService result to an ArrayCollection

[Sean Clark Hess]

Each row is an xml object...

So, (myData.getItemAt(i) as XML).children()

Then you could loop through the children and ask them for their name. After
the as XML step you can do anything you can normally do with the XML object

g.beginFill(color);
g.drawRect(x, y, width, rowHeight);

The columns in DG have different colors. So, how do I restore cells 
from colored row back to columns colors?

[flexcoders] Issues panning a swf loaded via SWFLoader

[djepyon]

(I accidentally put this as a response to another topic the first time
so I'm re-posting)

I'm loading a swf into a SWFLoader (earth-shattering, I know). The swf
document size itself is set 2800x960, but there is an additional
element beneath this in the pasteboard (what was the flash 8
"workarea")  that is about 500px in length. I need to be able to pan
down to this element. If make a call to set the y value of the
SWFLoader to -500 (to pan downward) the area above it hovers above my
flex components instead of going underneath.

I went  a step further and wrapped the swfLoader in a Canvas object.
Setting the y value to -500 on the MXML object did just what I wanted
to. I then began setting this dynamically, which produces the same
results as before. I also tried to run validateDisplayList() hoping it
would fix things but to no avail.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :) 

[flexcoders] Missing AsnDecoder Class

Not through a simple API. You'd have to parse the SWF's DoABC2 block.
The SWF spec is here:

[flexcoders] Re: LCDS and AIR?

[meteatamel]

LCDS/BlazeDS is a server and a client product. On the server, it
requires a J2EE server but on the client, it's simply a few swcs
(rpc.swc in BlazeDS) and your AIR app would use this rpc.swc to talk
to the LCDS server. So the fact that the LCDS server piece runs on a
J2EE server is irrelevant to the AIR client application.

[flexcoders] Re: List displaying wrong information

[nathanpdaniel]

Yes - and in fact - to clarify - when I run my application, it 
displays the mini cart all the time (always on) - so when I add 
items, it updates, when they're removed, it's updated.  Unfortunately 
when I delete an item and add a new one, it displays the old one, 
even though in my cart itself is showing the new item.  I'm only 
making changes to the Cart object itself which has a property 
cartItems (ArrayCollection).  Debugging, this is always right with 
what the cart should be - it's just not showing the right products.
