[flexcoders] Caching problem with HttpSevice

2008-07-11 Thread nehavyas13
Hi,

I am trying to call a url by using HTTPService. Hitting this url 
passing two parameters, starts/stops a service.

This is working fine when I try to do it locally. But when I put it on
the server it does not work at all. It worked yesterday 1-2 times but
after that it does not work. I have to embed the .swf file in a
object tag and provide the name of .swf file in param name tag.

Would this be a proxy caching problem?

I have used POST method and also set some dummyparameter in the url
to be dummyPara=+new Date().time, but still does not work. Also as
shown below the header has Cache-Control:no-cache set. But still does
not work.

Can somebody suggest me how to solve this?

The header returned by the url is :

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:32:59 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0

Re: [flexcoders] Pass parameters to module

2008-07-11 Thread Oleg Filipchuk
Hi Giro,
I'd recommend to use ModuleManager - it gives you much more control over
workflow. And in that case you may use interfaces:

protected var info: IModuleInfo;

 protected function loadModule ( moduleUrl: String ): void
 {
   info = ModuleManager.getModule ( moduleUrl );
   info.addEventListener ( ModuleEvent.READY, moduleReadyHandler );
   info.addEventListener( ModuleEvent.ERROR, errorHandler );
 }
 protected function moduleReadyHandler ( event: ModuleEvent ): void
  {
   var module: IMySuperCustomModule = info.factory.create() as
 IMySuperCustomModule;
   module.dataProvider = someSuperImportantData;
   addChild ( module as DisplayObject );
  }


Cheers,
Oleg

I can control the embedded movieClip from flex but it's not the
solution with a complex animation.

here is the way i have done it

[flexcoders] Passing Dates to DateChooser via XML Problem

2008-07-11 Thread tspyro2002
Hi guys, 

The problem I'm having is as follows : 

I have a combobox that holds information on different countries and
when this is updated by the user (ie they pick a new country) a region
combo box is then automatically updated. 

The countries XML file holds information for the combobox with the
country and the location of a new XML file which holds all the
information on its regions as follows :

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
 item
  labelSpain/label
  dataxml/spain.xml/data 
 /item

A similar XML file has the regions of Spain with certain available
dates of staying and this is linked to a DateChooser control and this
is where I'm running into difficulties. 

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
item
labelSomewhere in Spain/label
datanew Date(2008,7,17)/data 
/item 

When this date is passed into the ArrayCollection it doesn't seem to
be associated with the data value in the comboBox yet it seems to work
fine when the new XML file is referenced?

Any comments or thoughts are appreciated. 

Cheers
David

Certainly on Windows, there is a special file name under c:\windows for the

You can request the user sets their back ground picture to a file under your

[flexcoders] lockedRowCount won't set

I have an advanceddatagrid that gets created in actionscript.
Everything works fine, it comes up with all the properties and data
set correctly, however when I try to set the lockedRowCount to
anything  0, it doesn't get set.

So I have something like...

dg.lockedRowCount = 2;

and if I set a break point and debug, it has lockedRowCount = 0

Any idea what could be going on here, I even tried setting it in a

done, and it still doesn't work.

[flexcoders] Re: combobox fills in with blank element

2008-07-11 Thread netdeep

Here is the relevant code from the component with the combobox:

[Bindable]
private var signalList:ArrayCollection = new 
ArrayCollection();

public function setSignals(sig:ArrayCollection):void {
signalList = sig;
}

mx:ComboBox dataProvider={signalList} selectedIndex=0 
toolTip={signal.selectedItem.name} change=selectSignal()
color=#00 id=signal labelField=name/

And here is my Application actionscript code for populating signalList:

var arr:Array = archiveList.selectedItems;
for (var i:int=0; iarr.length; i++) {
if (!signalList.contains(arr[i].name)) {
signalList.addItem(arr[i].name);
}
}
var sort:Sort = new Sort();

// Set the sort field (case-insensitive)
sort.fields = [new SortField(null,true)];
// Assign the Sort object to the view.
signalList.sort = sort;
// Apply the sort to the collection.
signalList.refresh();

I think you can set up upSkin or overSkin, instead of just skin, but
your PNGs are ok too.

Do you mean the CSS from the framework?  Because the only applicable css
I've seen is: 

LinkButton
{
/*disabledIcon: null; */
disabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*downIcon: null; */
downSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*overIcon: null; */
overSkin: ClassReference(null);
paddingLeft: 7;
paddingRight: 7;
/*selectedDisabledIcon: null; */ 
selectedDisabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedDownIcon: null; */
selectedDownSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedOverIcon: null; */
selectedOverSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedUpIcon: null; */
selectedUpSkin: ClassReference(null); 
skin: ClassReference(mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin);
/*upIcon: null; */
upSkin: ClassReference(null); 
}

Setting my over skin to ClassReference(null) makes it appear (I think)
like a normal button, while using
ClassReference(mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin) will make it behave like
a typical LinkButton does when moused over.  Again though, it currently
looks great and behaves the way I want it to.  Is there a reason for me
to not do it just with an alpha image?

Thanks

Subject: [flexcoders] Passing Dates to DateChooser via XML Problem

 

Hi guys, 

The problem I'm having is as follows : 

I have a combobox that holds information on different countries and
when this is updated by the user (ie they pick a new country) a region
combo box is then automatically updated. 

The countries XML file holds information for the combobox with the
country and the location of a new XML file which holds all the
information on its regions as follows :

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
item
labelSpain/label
dataxml/spain.xml/data 
/item

A similar XML file has the regions of Spain with certain available
dates of staying and this is linked to a DateChooser control and this
is where I'm running into difficulties. 

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
item
labelSomewhere in Spain/label
datanew Date(2008,7,17)/data 
/item 

When this date is passed into the ArrayCollection it doesn't seem to
be associated with the data value in the comboBox yet it seems to work
fine when the new XML file is referenced?

Any comments or thoughts are appreciated. 

Cheers
David

is kinda like what you are trying to do )

http://labs.qi-ideas.com/2007/12/25/using-flex-compiled-code-within-flash/

basically you package up all of the Flex framework classes you need
and all of their dependancies and turn it into a swc that you can
compile your AS3 code against. Unfortunately, Flex components tend to
have A LOT of dependancies which makes it hard to keep file size down
as Alex mentioned.

 Subject: [flexcoders] flex components in pure as3 app - possible?



 Is it absurd to try to code a simple app in pure as3 that uses flex
 components like Button and Scrollbar?

 I've been trying and ran into problems with a bug in the Flex
 framework having to do with resources
 (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12205), used Rob Jellinghaus's
 workaround, and came up with this simple code, below.

 The sprite will draw itself, but the button does not show up.

 Could anyone tell me if there's something basic I'm not understanding,
 or am I making a simple dumb mistake?

 Thanks!
 Jack

 package {
 import flash.display.Sprite;
 import flash.display.StageAlign;
 import flash.display.StageScaleMode;

 import mx.containers.Canvas;
 import mx.controls.Button;

 public class ShellAS3 extends Sprite
 {

 public function ShellAS3()
 {

 var resourceManagerImpl:Object =
 flash.system.ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition(mx.resources::ResourceManagerImpl);

 Singleton.registerClass(mx.resources::IResourceManager,Class(resourceManagerImpl));

 init();
 }
 private function init():void{

 stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
 stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

 var ball:Sprite = new Sprite();
 addChild(ball);
 ball.x = 20;
 ball.y = 100;
 ball.graphics.beginFill(0xff);

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Trick button into rendering mouseover/mouseout states

2008-07-11 Thread Dennis Falling
Right, I dug around for a while in the framework and CSS looking for the
actual skin.  In LinkButtonSkin.as, it specifies the upskin and overskin,
but because this is all inside a single file and it uses the appropriate
skin, it seems that I can't tell it to use the upskin for the overskin

case overSkin:
{
drawRoundRect(
0, 0, w, h, cornerRadius,
rollOverColor, 1);
break;
}

If I ever run into any issues with my .png I can just copy the skin file and
replace rollOverColor, 1 with 0, 0 for every state and I'll get the same
effect.

Thanks

 Do you mean the CSS from the framework?  Because the only applicable css
 I've seen is:

 LinkButton
 {
 /*disabledIcon: null; */
 disabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
 /*downIcon: null; */
 downSkin: ClassReference(null);
 /*overIcon: null; */
 overSkin: ClassReference(null);
 paddingLeft: 7;
 paddingRight: 7;
 /*selectedDisabledIcon: null; */
 selectedDisabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
 /*selectedDownIcon: null; */
 selectedDownSkin: ClassReference(null);
 /*selectedOverIcon: null; */
 selectedOverSkin: ClassReference(null);
 /*selectedUpIcon: null; */
 selectedUpSkin: ClassReference(null);
 skin: ClassReference(mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin);
 /*upIcon: null; */
 upSkin: ClassReference(null);
 }

 Setting my over skin to ClassReference(null) makes it appear (I think) like
 a normal button, while using ClassReference(mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin)
 will make it behave like a typical LinkButton does when moused over.  Again
 though, it currently looks great and behaves the way I want it to.  Is there
 a reason for me to not do it just with an alpha image?

[flexcoders] Flash Player concurrent instance limitations

Our team began stress testing the server portion of our Flex
application. We built our own stress tester that will fire up
instances of Firefox on different machines which run a stress tester
written in Flex. We were hoping to launch 80 instances per machine, so
we could monitor traffic with about 2000 users, but Firefox crashes
after about 35 instances, and blames its failure on the shockwave
flash player. We've also attempted this test with IE and just like
Firefox it crashes at around 35 instances. Is there a known issue with
the Flash player that would cause this problem, and is there a version
of the Flash player that could help us resolve this problem? We are
running our stress tests on Windows XP computers, using Firefox, and
the Flash player v. 9. Each request does send cookies back to the
server. In fact if we have 35 instances running then each request will
send down 35 cookies along with some information to help identify the
correct cookie. I don't suspect the cookies are the problem. Any help
would be appreciated. We definitely would like to be able to launch
more instances of stress tester, so we can get a better picture of
where limits are, right now we're just coasting through the stress tests.

 **Transitions:**
 to fetching data state:

 My problem is that whenever I went into the fetchingData state, it
 would properly perform the transitions for that state (showing the
 fetching data view), but would also incorrectly perform whatever code

 I created a function to watch the state changes and the no data state

 I now have it working by doing everything in transitions, but does
 anyone know why this problem would happen? I tried to write a small

[flexcoders] Parallel requests using RemoteObject with RTMP

2008-07-11 Thread Manohar Madhusudan Joshi
Our flex app makes multiple backend calls for loading single webpage.
Each call goes to database, that takes some processing time. 
We were using RemoteObject with my-amf. 
We could make our app send multiple requests at a time by setting
distinct endpoints for each request. 
But, we found that in IE, we can have only 2 requests at a time. 
And we don't want to change registry for overriding this. 
So, we changed to RemoteObject with my-rtmp. 
But, now it looks like requests are being executed serially.
We tried setting concurrency to multiple.

Any idea what is happening ?
We are using FDS 2.0.1.

[flexcoders] looking for best Data Service

2008-07-11 Thread Cameron
I've got a flex app that needs to update data routinely (about once per 
minute). The data is stored in a database on my server and there could 
be several 10's to hundreds of users who are looking at the data 
simultaneously via the flex app. The data is represented by colored dots 
on a map. When the data changes, and it does about once per minute, I 
basically need to update the color of one or potentially several 
thousand objects on the map. I'd like for the changes to be seen by all 
users at the same time (data push right?). I've seen a tutorial online 
(the horse race one) about doing something similar, but it required the 
Adobe Media Server on the server side. Is there a cheaper and better way 
to do this using one of the open source AMF's out there? I've played 
around with AMF::Perl, but it doesn't seem to have the data push 
capability, only responds to requests as far as I can tell. Has anyone 
done something like this? If so what did you use? I'm working with 
Win2k3, IIS6, and SQL Express if that makes a difference. Currently, I 
have a program running on the server creating an XML file with the color 
of the objects as one of the attributes. My flex app routinely reloads 
this file, but this is cumbersome as it has to reload all the objects 
and all users of the app don't update simultaneously since the timers 
all start at differnet times. Looking for some good advice and would be 
willing to pay for expert help.

[flexcoders] Calling AS3 functions

2008-07-11 Thread Scott
I'm working on a logon class in Flex 3.  I've got a login.mxml which
controls the overall views (logon/register/logout) all in the same box
depending on what state the user is in.

 

In the loginForm.mxml (included in the logon.mxml), I've got a function
called protected returnName():String

 

 

Function I want to call from the loginForm AS3 script:

protected function returnName():String   (I've also tried public in case
it was not available in that area of code)

{

   return this.username.text;

}

 

Snippet from my mxml code:

Xmlns:login=com.ft.views.login.*;

 

...

 

mx:State name=loggedIn

 

   mx:AddChild position=lastChild



   mx:Panel

   width=75% height=50% layout=vertical 

   verticalScrollPolicy=off horizontalScrollPolicy=off



   mx:VBox width=100% height=100% verticalScrollPolicy=off
horizontalScrollPolicy=off

   mx:Text text={returnEmail()} is logged on; /   -
line in question 

login:LogoutForm  

   logoutSuccessful=this.currentState='onLogin()'; /

   /mx:VBox

/mx:Panel



/mx:AddChild

/mx:State

 

I can't seem to figure out how to reference the method as I get the
error: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method returnName.

 

I've tried:

mx:Text text={loginForm.returnEmail()} is logged on; /

mx:Text text={login.returnEmail()} is logged on; /

Among many others...

 

This is probably pretty simple.  I really appreciate your help.

If verticalAlign doesn't work, you'll have to subclass and position the
internal textField

For example I have a Label with height of 14px , the distance of
capitalized letter is 6px from top and 3px from bottom how can I move
it up or down ? 
verticalCenter style looks like does not do what I want ( or I'm not
using it right..)

Thanks.

All AS code needs to be inside the curly braces and you need to concatenate
your static string to the string returned from your function

mx:Text text={returnEmail() + ' is logged on'} /

RE: [flexcoders] using mx:States, newly displayed fields are not getting tab focus

2008-07-11 Thread Alex Harui
Can you make a small test case?  You should'n't set tabEnabled on a
container, and it should already have tabChildren = true.

 

If you can walk downward via tabChildren=troe through the container
hierarchy you should be able to tab to the components in the containers.

Subject: [flexcoders] using mx:States, newly displayed fields are not
getting tab focus

 

Oh mighty list, I need some help.

I have a Canvas which I am using to layout a bunch of TextInput fields. 

Using mx:States, I am conditionally displaying other Canvas containers
with more TextInput fields on the main canvas.

The problem is that when I display the fields on the Canvas containers
added with States, the fields are not added to the tab order. 

I tried calling various Validate() methods on the main Canvas, and
have also tried setting the tabEnabled, tabChildren properties of the
added Canvas containers.

Any suggestions to fixing this?

thanks!
Dustin

Yeah, I didn't understand states.  Changing from one state to another
always unplays the properties and styles set in the previous state.  Not
a fan of that at all but that explains all my confusion.

I'm still getting the same error...

 

The class exists in the loginForm.mxml but the mxml code exists in the
login.mxml file.

 

Is there something special I have to do to use the functions that exist
in the other mxml file?

 

Better yet, is there a way to access variables other than setting up a
function in the active script?

 

 Thanks much.

Re: [flexcoders] So I guess I don't understand states

2008-07-11 Thread Dennis Falling
Not sure what you mean...I didn't research it beyond figuring out my
problem...  I had a viewstack with normal and no data views and wanted it to
stay the same (either in no data or normal) when going to the
updating/downloading state.  Was frustrated when my normal state was
inexplicably showing the no data view when it went to the updating state.  I
finally figured out it was undoing the current state (normal) and reverting
back to the previous values, which incidentally were applied by the no data
state.  Once I moved all the code to transitions which are not undone, it
worked fine.  My current understanding is that anything you wish to be
undone after you move to another state should be done in states.  Any effect
or permanent change should be done in transitions.

There's a basedOn property.  I think it means that a state, when
un-done, will only rollback to the basedOn state.

RE: [flexcoders] Calling AS3 functions

2008-07-11 Thread Alex Harui
Each mxml has its own (document) scope.  It essentially defines a class.
A method must be public in order to be accessed from outside the class,
you cannot access protected from outside the class.

 

Your snippet doesn't have id's or show the relationship between the two
classes so it is hard to say why it isn't working. Also, you appear to
be trying to call returnEmail when the snippet only showed a returnName
method.
