[flexcoders] What data type is this? var service = __locator.getService(roService);

[dnk]

Warning:
Id 3604: You should now use one of the strongly typed methods for  
returning a service.

What to Type it as? I thought remoteObject, but the compiler complains  
with:

Id 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type  
mx.rpc:AbstractService to a possibly unrelated type

var service = __locator.getService(roService);


roService refers to a RemoteObject. And __locator is a ServiceLocator

And when i change it to:

var service: AbstractService = __locator.getService(roService);

I still get the same warning.

The code works, but I just want to be sure t do it all right.

Re: {Disarmed} Re: [flexcoders] Variable Typecasting

[Sid Maskit]

Interesting. Thanks for the clarification. I guess I have been thinking that if 
FlexBuilder doesn't show something as an option in the code completion menu 
that I should avoid using it, or should only use it with bracket syntax.

This might just be me, but I would go a little further and say that I like 
using brackets to call out that I am using a dynamic property. On the other 
hand, if I am using a strongly typed object, then I like to cast, and use the 
dot notation. And if I cast first, then the code completion will in fact show 
the property as an option.

So I would want to do something like this:

var vo:VoClass = new VoClass; // some custom class
var obj:Object = {strEMail: foo};
var acUser:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
acUser.addItem(obj);
acUser.addItem(vo);
var strEMail:String = acUser.getItemAt(0)[strEMail] as String;
strEMail = (acUser.getItemAt(1) as OSData).comment;

Admittedly, as you have made clear, this approach is not necessary. However, I 
do think it has some benefit, particularly since it allows one to both lean a 
little more on FlexBuilder, and give the compiler a little more information to 
work with.

However, having said all that, you are nonetheless quite right that I misspoke 
about what can be done.

There is no reason why 
 
strEMail = acUser.getItemAt( 0).strEMail;
 
shouldn't both compile and run if the 0th
item in the ArrayCollection acUser has a property named strEMail of type
String. And, in fact, I had no problem compiling and running
 
var acUser:ArrayCollect ion
= new ArrayCollection( [ { strEMail: foo } ]);
var strEMail:String =
acUser.getItemAt( 0).strEMail;
trace(strEMail) ;
 
It traced foo as one would
expect.
 
Since getItemAt()' s return type is Object,
the compiler lets you access any property on it. (Of course, strong typing is
better practice). And when you access a property on an Object, the compiler
treats that property as having type *, which can be assigned to a String var
without casting it to a String.

As someone else explained, it is better to use strongly typed objects
then generic ones. However, if you are going to use a generic one, something
like the following should work:

strEMail =
GlobalVars.instance .acUser.getItemA t(0)[strEMail ] as
String;

Two things to note here. First, if you are using a generic object, you can
access its properties using bracket offsets with the property name in quotes.
You need to do this since what you actually have is an associative array, and
the compiler cannot know what its keys are. Second, the preferred method of
casting is not to use a constructor, a la String(whatIAmCasti ng), but to
use the as operator, a la whatIAmCasting as String.

Wow.  This was incredibly frustrating but after playing around
(and rebooting my computer numerous times from the debugger crashing) I finally
figured out how to reference the data in the arraycollection.
 
I didn’t have to typecast it.  However, I had to process
it one function at a time.
 
I tried strEMail = String(GlobalVars. instance. acUser.getItemAt
(0).strEMail) ; and that didn’t work; it kept throwing an error that it
didn’t know about strEMail.  After playing around I discovered that
if I broke out the functions it would work.
 
This is what worked for me:
 
private var objUser:Object;
 
private function blah( acUser:arrayCollect ion): void
{
 
   
objUser = GlobalVars.instance .acUser.getItemA t(0);
   
strEMail = String(objUser. strEMail) ;
}
 
After I got the results I wanted, I tried it again as one line and
Flex threw an error that it again didn’t know about strEMail. 
Perhaps that’s a bug…?

It seemed to have taken that but now it’s still not pulling
the data in as I would expect it.
 
The getItemAt(x) in reading looks like it would pull in the whole
record at ‘x’.  However, it won’t let me refer to the
record as getItemAt(0) .strEMail since it doesn’t know strEMail exists in
that collection.

Re: [flexcoders] Screen Refresh function??

[Dan Pride]

Thanks for the insight into the problem, it helped a great deal. 

I came up with another solution which seems to work and conceptually at least 
seems a little simpler. 

I put the proceedure to fill in the text fields in a creation complete event in 
the Canvas, then called the view of the canvas in the double click event. 

This Seems to work, but being in my first year of Flex (20 years in Oracle, 4D 
et al),... more better insights always appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Screen Refresh function??

[Dan Pride]

Odd, actually I have to call it in both places in its entirety, then it works 
fine. If I call the display from the double click, then fill from the complete, 
it misses the selected.

But if I call it from both it works fine.

So if I do this am I always running it twice or just on the first go round then 
its Complete ??

private function displayLoca():void{
applicationScreens.selectedChild = locaScreen;
locaName.text = locaGrid.selectedItem.NameCol;
locaField.text = locaGrid.selectedItem.FieldCol;
locaSquare.text = locaGrid.selectedItem.SquareCol;

backgroundColor=#0E0E0E color=#FF text={richText.text}/

The text in the TextArea are not formated was i wanted :)

The creation complete will handle the case of the first time you edit. 
That is, it fixes the original problem.
Creation complete will only run once. I'm guessing the 
applicationScreens component is actually a ViewStack.
If so, this is what i think might be happening:

. The first time you edit your data the edit component has not been 
created yet(it's lazily created by this line: 
applicationScreens.selectedChild = locaScreen), so setting the data 
doesn't work as expected(original problem of first edit not getting 
data) due to the fact that the input fields don't exist yet.

. Then the edit component's creation complete event handler runs and 
sets the data(so editing works the first time now).

. Next time you edit the data the creation complete does not run again 
as the component now exists. So you still need to set the data in the 
function that actually sets up the edit component(your original code).

Now you have the same code in two places; which is not what you want 
obviously.
You should be able to check whats going on by using the debugger; 
setting a breakpoint in the creation complete function and in your
displayLoca function.

There is another solution that might be suitable, but is probably not a 
good idea.  The viewstack has a creationPolicy setting that allows the
viewstack to create all of its children when it's created. Rather than 
using the default lazy creation. This is often /not/ a good idea for 
performance reasons, but it would mean that the original problem would 
not occur and you could remove the code from the creation complete event 
handler and go back to your original code.

So, your left with at least 3 choices:

a) Duplicate code and setting data externally on a component(current 
solution).

b) Modifying the viewstack creation policy to create all children when 
its created(easy but a performance hit).

c) The solution I outlined previously.


 private function displayLoca():void{
 applicationScreens.selectedChild = locaScreen;
 locaScreen.selectedItem = locaGrid.selectedItem;
 }


 And something like the following in your edit
 component:

 private var _selectedItem:Object;

 public function set selectedItem(o:Object):void{
_selectedItem = o;

if (_selectedItem) callLater(updateInputs);
 }

 public function get selectedItem():Object{
   return _selectedItem;
 }

 private function updateInputs():void{
   locaName.text = _selectedItem.NameCol;
   locaField.text = _selectedItem.FieldCol;
   locaSquare.text = _selectedItem.SquareCol;
 }

You could do something like this

renderer:ClassFactory = new myRenderer();
renderer.properties{relatedComponent:yourComponent};

Then use renderer as your itemRenderer on the ADG.  If you're going to 
do this, you should probably create an Interface so that any component 
you create with that interface will work with the renderer.

However, I'd suggest that instead you have your itemRenderer broadcast 
an event (or pick up one of the events the ADG already broadcasts) and 
listen for that.  Trying to poke a reference to one component into 
another component breaks encapsulation and will result in code that's 
more confusing to anyone coming behind you.

 Thanks for the insight into the problem, it helped a great deal. 
 
 I came up with another solution which seems to work and

 I put the proceedure to fill in the text fields in a creation 
complete event in the Canvas, then called the view of the canvas in 
the double click event. 
 
 This Seems to work, but being in my first year of Flex (20 years in 
Oracle, 4D et al),... more better insights always appreciated.

When you use creationComplete in an itemRenderer, you will find that 
it fails as soon as the user scrolls anything or if you change the 
dataProvider.

[flexcoders] Set attributes and methods of dynamically added controls

[daddyo_buckeye]

I'm trying to add a number of colorpickers and textareas to my app 
dynamically. Each item needs a separate id, and the colorpickers need 
to call an open() and change() method and pass the textarea id as a 
parameter along with the event. 

I'm a little baffled on how to set the methods, but my ids are 
setting successfully. Here's my code:

public function addPicker():void {
var i:int; 
for (i = 0; i  5; i++){
var ssPicker:ColorPicker = new ColorPicker();
var ssTextArea:TextArea = new TextArea();
var ssVBox:VBox = new VBox(); 
ssPicker.id = cp+i;
//note: following two lines don't work.
ssPicker.open = openEvt(event,descriptBox+i);
ssPicker.change = changeColor(event,descriptBox+i);

ssTextArea.id = descriptBox+i;
ssTextArea.width = 125;
ssTextArea.height = 22;
ssTextArea.text = Select Color;
myVBox.addChild(ssVBox);   
 ssVBox.addChild(ssPicker);
 ssVBox.addChild(ssTextArea);
}
}

Any thoughts on how I can accomplish this?

As a guess..

ssPicker.open = openEvt;
ssPicker.change = changeColor;

lookup[ssPicker.id] = ssTextArea; //associate picker and text

function openEvt(event:Event){
   var colorPicker:ColorPicker = ColorPicker(event.target);
   var t:TextArea = lookup[colorPicker.id];

   t.text = colorPicker.id;
   ...
}

Setting the id like that won't let you reference it later by ID.  
Also, you're trying to use the MXML way of assigning event listeners 
in AS.  Try something like this

private var cp:Array=new Array();
for (i=0;i5;i++){
  ssPicker = new ColorPicker();
  cp.push(ssPicker);
  //you'll need to look at event.currentTarget to see which picker it 
is
  ssPicker.addEventListener(open, yourFunction);
}

You may find that you're better off using a data source that a List 
control is bound to for this.  When the color pickers change the data 
source, the descriptBoxes, which would be itemRenderers for some 
other list based control, can automatically pick up the change.

Re: [flexcoders] htmlText to Text

[Sid Maskit]

I've only tested this with the actual sample below, so it may need some 
refinement, but this should get you started:

var myText:String = 'p class=myClassmy text/p';
myText = myText.replace(/\.*?\/g, );
trace(myText);

Hope that helps,

Hi guys,

Does somebody have an idea to convert htmlText to text, it means remove the 
Angle 
Brackets.

Example:

FONT ...Lorem Ipsum/FONT

to

Lorem Ipsum

I don't know, RegExp, some String Method ? :S

Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: htmlText to Text

[Sid Maskit]

I don't know if this will be of interest to anyone, but I learned something 
trying to respond to this post. I thought that it would be cool to do this 
entire thing within ActionScript. I managed to get it working, but it took a 
little bit more than I thought it would.

One can use the text input control to convert from HTML to plain text, but the 
control must be on the stage for at least one frame. Thus I end up with the 
following code (within a script tag):

private var myControl:TextInput;
private var done:Boolean;

private function init():void {
Singleton.getInstance().doSomething();
var myText:String = 'pmy text/p';
myControl = new TextInput();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);
myControl.htmlText = myText;
this.addChild(myControl);
trace(from init);
trace(myControl.htmlText);
trace(myControl.text);
}

private function onFrame(event:Event):void {
if (done) {return;}
done = true;
trace(from onFrame);
trace(myControl.htmlText);
trace(myControl.text);
this.removeChild(myControl);
}

To show the change that results from having the control on the stage for a 
frame, here's the trace result:

from init

null
from onFrame
TEXTFORMAT LEADING=2P ALIGN=LEFTFONT FACE=Verdana SIZE=10 
COLOR=#0B333C LETTERSPACING=0 KERNING=0my text/FONT/P/TEXTFORMAT
my text

If somebody has a way to have the text input control do the conversion without 
having to put the control onto the stage, I would be interested to hear about 
that.

Hope somebody finds that useful,

Sid

Oops, please ignore the Singleton line; it's old code in my testing file.

Also, here's slightly revised to correctly remove listener instead of using 
boolean flag:

private var myControl:TextInput;

private function init():void {
var myText:String = 'pmy text/p';
myControl = new TextInput();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);
myControl.htmlText = myText;

Yes, I don't want the TA to fit within a single Row.

You're right - the case for TA at the bottom of a DG is a problem. Today,
the TA gets clipped,
so that's not good either.

The PopupButton doesn't have either problem.

How does the PopUpButton popup?

 I have a DataGrid where one of the columns is a TextArea control as the
 itemEditor.

 When I edit a cell in the column with the TextArea editor, the TextArea
 opens up to a height equivalent to
 three rows of data in the grid. The editor works fine; in fact it's been
 working this way for some time.

 But recently, we enabled horizontal and vertical grid lines on the grid.
 When the TextArea editor opens up,
 the datagrid horizontal grid lines are drawn across the top of the control.

 I've verified that the TextArea control is not inheriting the styles
 related to grid lines
 I've verified that the TextArea backgroundAlpha is 1; i.e. the text on the
 rows underneath the editor is not
 showing through.

 So as near as I can tell, the grid is drawing the gridlines on top of the
 editor.

 Curiously, I also have a PopUpButton editor type - it does not have grid
 lines drawn across when the dropdown
 area that appears when the button is activated.

 Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

 Thanks

@Rick - That doesn't really help solve the problem. And because it doesn't
exist or it would be difficult isn't a reason for not including it. People
still have applications that need to be built that include this support.

 Why don't you use a signed java applet? You could simply load it in
 the wrapper html file (with size set to 0, if you don't want that java
 swing stuff in your UI), and then interact with it using the flex
 ExternalInterface and applet's NSObject.

 I use this solution to allow direct TWAIN image scanning in my Flex
 application. The only problem with it is that the ExternalInterface
 doesn't seem very reliable for exchanging more than small simple
 variables - very long strings and binary data seems to cause troubles.

 Here is an interesting blog post on this topic:

 Hello!
 I'm working on an app that allows users to drag variable height images
 from a List onto a

 a shelf. All the widths 
 can be the same. Can I align the images to bottom in my custom mxml item

 I set verticalAlign=bottom in the item renderer, the images cut off in
 the TileList.
 
 Thanks in advance for any insights you can give.

[flexcoders] Drawing on Canvas using Graphics API with backgroundColor

[Vijay Ganesan]

I'm trying to draw a line on a Canvas using the Graphic API as follows:

myCanvas.graphics.clear();
myCanvas.graphics.lineStyle(2);
myCanvas.graphics.moveTo(0,0);
myCanvas.graphics.lineTo(100,100);

This works fine as long as the Canvas does not have a backgroundColor
style property set. Once the backgroundColor property is set, my drawn
line is behind the background color. If I change the backroundAlpha
to a value closer to 0, I can see my drawn line through the background.

How can I draw my line on top of the background? I tried using a Shape
object to draw into and add the Shape object as a child to the Canvas
but get an exception:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.display::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IUIComponent.
I guess children of Canvas have to be IUIComponentS.

What is the best strategy for drawing on a Canvas with a backgroundColor?

Thanks
Vijay

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flash USB-API :)

[Rick Winscot]

Then use Merapi - if it is important to you. but just because it is
important to you doesn't mean that the development cost is justifiable. If
this isn't the 'solution' that you hope for. make a case - submit it as a
feature request to Adobe and try to garner some support for the feature.

No.

Depending on the files that have changed you might be able to build

But for now you might want to rebuild everything just to be sure.

[flexcoders] Re: Drawing on Canvas using Graphics API with backgroundColor

[Tim Hoff]

Hi Vijay,

If you want to draw a line on top of the background of a canvas, you can
draw it in a BorderSkin.  Or, something like this works, usually by
overriding createChildren():

var myComponent:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
var myShape:Shape = new Shape();
myShape.graphics.lineStyle(2);
myShape.graphics.moveTo(0, 0);
myShape.graphics.lineTo(100, 100);
myComponent.addChild(myShape);
myCanvas.addChild(myComponent);

One of the component gurus will have to explain why you need to add a
UIComponent for this to work.
