[flexcoders] Any future plans to support ODBC Connections for AIR applications?

[pbrendanc]

I know this has come up before but there is a significant need to
access data in desktop  databases (Read Only would be OK). (e.g. I am
working with the Google App Engine and there is no easy way to
populate their datastore). 

A GUI upload app written in AIR could be great for this. I've thought
about doing a small GUI in Python since the libraries are available -
however I'd prefer to use AIR for GUI development.

While support for this may not be available out of the box I wondered
if some 3rd party libraries might be available for this - e.g. Python
has extensive libraries than can be used to access Excel, Access etc.

Any chance that similar Flex/AIR/Actionscript libs might be developed?
Anyone else out there thought about doing this?

TIA,
Patrick

[Gregor Kiddie]

Hi Pascal,

 

Try not to use another thread as the basis of a new one, it confuses
yahoo!

 

But to try answer your question, take a look at Enterprise Architect at
least for the class diagrams part. Drag a folder in, and it creates the
class diagram for the code in it. Works for actionscript too!

Hi all,

Does anyone of you know a tool, to reverse engineer a already existing

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Best event to listen for when ViewStack child becomes active?

[Gregor Kiddie]

If my memory serves me correctly, you have to be careful when using
those events with the ViewStack. It's something like they get fired when
the app is minimised / maximised, or when the user switches.

Re: [flexcoders] Can we subclass Application yet?

[Josh McDonald]

This is just a quick and rough example, and it's for instances rather than
subclasses (which may have a compile-time check, I'll have to experiment on
the weekend when I've more time). Also, please note that I think this is
probably a bad-thing (TM) but it's always fun to poke around where Adobe
don't want us :)

http://www.gfunk007.com/flex/evil/

There are probably nicer ways to do this, but we very quickly run into
overriding things that upset the byte code verifier :'(

It's pretty evil. I'd just ship a 30-lines-of-c# utility to pull the data
out and put it in something standard that your air app can understand.

Re: [flexcoders] Any future plans to support ODBC Connections for AIR applications?

[Josh McDonald]

That being said, I know you can do ODBC over tcp, so if you've got some sort
of server available that can route from odbc over tcp to a local file DSN,
you could probably write a socket ODBC client for AIR, and then charge
people in your position a fortune to use it. People stuck in Windows-world
seem to be used to that sort of thing. Sounds like pain though :D

Server-side, you need to nudge BlazeDS that the table has changed, and it will

You can't invoke other executables or shared libraries from plain Flex 
applications.
There are frameworks that work as launchers or wrappers around a Flex 
application to allow this though, if that would work.

RE: [flexcoders] permission based ui

[Randy Martin]

Actually, I do this all the time with a viewstack. The way I do it is I have
the main application check the security and setup a security level
parameter. Then, I pass this secLevel to the component that contains the
viewstack. In the viewstack component, each view in the viewstack is its own
component, so you can use the includeInLayout and visible properties of the
component to show it or not show it based on the value of secLevel. Works
like a charm.
 
Main.mxml
 

  

  ...show only a progress bar to the user while checking the security in
ActionScript
  ...you setup the secLevel

  
  

  

  

 
MainApp.mxml
 

 

  
  
  
  

 
And, voila, you only see the Setup button if you're secLevel is 0.

Do not use the ViewStack as the dataProvider.  Build the navigation system’s
dataProvider as needed for the curent user, include the view index in each

viewStack.selectedI-tem.

Yes it has to be embedded. Well, I ended up embedding 5 different swf

Good enough for what I needed, but that would be nice to have some

[flexcoders] assign image path stored in sql server 2005 to source property

[siyaram_5]

Hi all .

I m .NET developer and doing R & D in Flex 3 .

I m using SQL SERVER and in one of its column i have given Image Path.

In Flex i have retrieved the dataset but dont know how to assign that
Image Path  stored in Sql server to Flex Image control.

[flexcoders] Re: My Music / Registry

[Laurent]

I don't think there's a way to directly get a reference to the "My
Music" path in AIR. You can get it using documentsDirectory though,
but the code will be different on XP and Vista:


var directory:File = File.documentsDirectory;

if (Capabilities.os == "Windows XP") {
   directory = directory.resolvePath("My Music"); // On XP
} else {
   directory = directory.resolvePath("Music"); // On Vista (and Mac?)
}

[flexcoders] Re: Integrate flex and Java

[kalsi374]

Venkat,
You need to be looking at the middleware which sits between backend 
like Java and Flex Front End.
Here are the few popular ones:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/blazeds/BlazeDS
http://www.themidnightcoders.com/weborb/java/

Once you get an understanding of these, you will know better.
Java understands Java Objects, and Flex understand ActionScript 
Objects (and other things). This middleware does the magic of 
converting Java POJOs -> AS Objects and vice versa.

You can integrate these middleware solutions with an existing Java 
webapplication. I wrote this small how-to some time back, 
http://meriyatra-blog.blogspot.com/2008/07/flex-how-do-i-integrate-
blazeflash-with.html
but you will also find loads of material on the web, if you look.

Hope this helps.

Good luck & have fun.

In actionscript use the percentWidth variable.  The MXML compiler is

actually be percentWidth.

So try this:
 var text:Text = new Text();
 text.percentWidth = 100;

[flexcoders] Creating advanced components

[flexawesome]

Hey there,

I was reading the articles regarding the components

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?
content=ascomponents_advanced_2.html

I knew that by extending the UIComponent, I need to overriding the 
protected UIComponent methods ( createChildren(), commitProperties(), 
etc. )

My question was if I extend the Panel class, shall I still need to 
override these mehods? Personally, I think I need to overide them, 
but I wanna conform this first @v@

public class AlertBox extends Panel
{
.
}

thank you

[flexcoders] Re: Creating advanced components

[Laurent]

Well you don't *have* to override these methods as Panel already
implement them (and so does UIComponent).  

It depends on what you are trying to do. If you need to create new
objects within the extended panel, then you'll want to override
createChildren(), if you want to update these children, then override
updateDisplayList(), etc. 

In all cases, always make sure you call the method of the parent class
using super.methodName() in order not to break the default behavior of
the component.

Anyone on here who uses ColdFusion  I could really use your help. I built a
multi file uploader using Flex that you can configure via xml. I need a
couple people to test a very early alpha version before I relase it. You
should be able to just unzip it to root and follow easy installation
instructions.

[flexcoders] NaN and Infinity showing in output - How to modify?

[cox.blair]

I seem to have trouble explaining myself here, hard when you are just
learning. Perhaps this will be better.

Is it possible to remove, change or hide any label or text output that
displays NaN or Infinity?

I'm performing a very simply calculation where the user enters a
number in a form and it is calculated and displayed. Simple and does
what I need. In some instances, there are more variables required and
until they are provided, the output display NaN or Infinity. 

How could I easily adjust these? It could be a default display of
zero, it could be to display nothing, whatever is the easiest and most
straight forward method.

Below is only an example of how I'm taking the user input from the
form and passing the variable on to the Label text output.

{Number(userInput.text) * (1 +
Number(otherUserInput.text)) * 1 /
Number(otherOtherUserInput.text)}

The answer is output to:

So I should define the class in one spot - i.e. the shared code mxml,
then use some getters defined in the main app to use that instance or

That's why I suggested a switch.  But I routinely go in and clean out

[flexcoders] Keyboard navigating through List's item renderers

[mydarkspoon]

Hi,
I have a list that renders meta data about images (title & tags).
This list uses a Form with 2 TextInput controls as an item renderer.

The user should be able to navigate through the input fields using
either the mouse or the tab key.

The List default behavior when editable=true is to set the focus to
the renderers themselves, but not to their sub components, so the Form
itself will have a focus rectangle but not the TextInput controls.

What I tried to do is to override the setFocus() on the Form
subcomponent and move the focus to the first TextInput and on that
TextInput focusOut set its focus to the 2nd TextInput.
That didn't work as expected, and even if it did, I'm sure the is a
better way to achieve this behavior.

Thank you,
Almog Kurtser
http://www.mostlyflex.com

Re: [flexcoders] NaN and Infinity showing in output - How to modify?

[Sid Maskit]

If the format function is a custom function you have written, you could just 
have it check whether you like the result it is about to return, and if not, 
return something else. If that is not the case, I believe that you should be 
able to put tests into your binding statement. 

You could test for NaN with something like this:



I'm not sure about infinity, but I assume that you can test for this by looking 
for the greatest possible value of the number. Assuming that you have set up 
the variable maxValue to contain that value, you should be able to do something 
like this:



If you put the two together, it would look something like this:

[flexcoders] applet on top of flash?

[ibo]

Anyone tried displaying applet on top of flex/flash? Can someone pls point me a 
link to an example demo?
I did a search on this topic and Ive read that its possible to do so but 
couldnt find an working example.
I want it to be displayed as seamless as possible and dont want to open a new 
browser window (using navigateToURL).
I modified the index.template.html so that It can load the applet and float it 
on top of the flex app
but it wont render the html panel. Im using Yahoo UI Panel btw.

[flexcoders] Re: Type Cast Error

[donald_d_hook]

Alex - after tracing this through, the first time into the page, I do
a request to get the stock objects.  They are retrieved properly and
displayed.  I go into a chart module, get some other items and display
that page.  When I go back into the 1st page (or module) it looks as
though the object is not getting serialized properly.  I have a
BackTestStock object with a BackTest Object and Stock object in it. 
The BackTest is ok, but the stock object is null - so it looks like it
is not getting serialized properly for whatever reason.  The first
time it does, but not the second time. 

Thanks ...

[flexcoders] Re: Sandbox violation running from Builder. How did I get this and how do I fix it?

[jamalwally]

I also get a security sandbox violation error on a flex project
after checking out from SVN.  

I have a flex project that compiles and runs fine on the original
development computer.  I then check in my source code to an SVN
repository.  When a fellow developer checks the project out from SVN
and tries to compile on their system, they encounter the security
sandbox violation error.

My flex application never tries to access a remote file.  The security
sandbox violation occurs while trying to access a local XML file in
the project directory (source code in src/, swf in bin-debug/ and xml
file in assets/ --- all three are sister directories).

If anyone has figured out the solution to this puzzle, please post!

Best wishes,

[flexcoders] Re: Can we subclass Application yet?

[chigwell23]

Hi Alex, yes in MXML - since we have a debug toolbar that appears on
every view based on a flag, I wanted to put this visual component on
the base Application class along with common public vars etc. Public
vars etc work fine, but it seems as though you cannot put any visual
mxml components on the base class.

Shameless plug - if anyone knows you will :-) please please please
could you look at my params to callback renderer question? Am about to
resend rephrased in specific chart context. TIA, Mic.

Re: [flexcoders] NaN and Infinity showing in output - How to modify?

[Blair Cox]

Hi Sid, thanks for the reply. I tried your first solution since I did not
create a custom function and it returns;

1067: Implicit coercion of value of type Number to an unrelated type Class

I have a vague understanding of what is occurring here. Any way around it?
How difficult would it be to modify or create a custom function?

What I have now is simply:

If the format function is a custom function you have written, you could just
have it check whether you like the result it is about to return, and if not,
return something else. If that is not the case, I believe that you should be
able to put tests into your binding statement. 

You could test for NaN with something like this:



I'm not sure about infinity, but I assume that you can test for this by
looking for the greatest possible value of the number. Assuming that you
have set up the variable maxValue to contain that value, you should be able
to do something like this:



If you put the two together, it would look something like this:

Did you try putting your "assets" directory inside "src"? I think that should 
work fine.

[flexcoders] BlazeDS/LCDS on Jboss 4.2.3

[Dimitrios Gianninas]

Just wondering if anyone has deployed BlazeDS/LCDS on JBoss 4.2.3 and got the 
authentication stuff to work?
 
Got everything configured as it should be but when I do
 
myRemoteObject.setCredentials( "falcon", "falconfalcon" );
 
in my flex app, I get no response and when I try a remote call it fails and I 
see the following in the debug log:
 
'837C1F01-1993-5303-FCA0-79AC9C93A63C' producer sending message 
'C36DF068-C3FB-BA3B-F07E-79AD2A0CC9D5'
'my-amf' channel endpoint set to http://localhost:8080/xlogin/messagebroker/amf
'my-amf' channel settings are:

  http://{server.name}:{server.port}/xlogin/messagebroker/amf"/>
  

'my-amf' pinging endpoint.
'my-amf' channel got status. (Object)#0
  code = "NetConnection.Call.BadVersion"
  description = ""
  details = ""
  level = "error"
'my-amf' channel polling stopped.

'C36DF068-C3FB-BA3B-F07E-79AD2A0CC9D5'.
 
However... if I go to my login.jsp and login successfull and then access my 
Flex app and try a remote call, it all works like a champ!
 
So what am I missing?

Re: [flexcoders] Chart: pass info about series1 to series2 lineSegmentRenderer callback?

Normally, the way to pass parameters to the item renderer is through its "data" 
property. So just make sure that your data provider contains whatever 
information you need to set the item renderer position.

[flexcoders] Re: Chart: pass info about series1 to series2 lineSegmentRenderer callback?

[EddieBerman]

I don't believe you can pass params. An alternative would be to have
your lineRenderer query upwards for the data. I do something similar
and added the following code in my updateDisplayList();

(I don't know how important the initial "LineSeries" check is)
override protected function updateDisplayList(wd:Number,ht:Number) {
var lc:LineChart;
if (parent is UIComponent) {
var myParent:String = String(UIComponent(parent).className);
if (myParent !="LineSeries")
return;

var ls:LineSeries = parent as LineSeries;
lc = ls.owner as LineChart;
var salesInfo:Number = lc.getSalesInfo();  // talk to lineChart here

Subject: [flexcoders] NaN and Infinity showing in output - How to modify?

 
 

I seem to have trouble explaining myself here, hard when you are just
learning. Perhaps this will be better.

Is it possible to remove, change or hide any label or text output that
displays NaN or Infinity?

I'm performing a very simply calculation where the user enters a
number in a form and it is calculated and displayed. Simple and does
what I need. In some instances, there are more variables required and
until they are provided, the output display NaN or Infinity.

How could I easily adjust these? It could be a default display of
zero, it could be to display nothing, whatever is the easiest and most
straight forward method.

Below is only an example of how I'm taking the user input from the
form and passing the variable on to the Label text output.

{Number( userInput. text) * (1 +
Number(otherUserInp ut.text)) * 1 /
Number(otherOtherUs erInput.text) }

The answer is output to:



Thank you, any assistance you can provide would be welcomed.

 
  

 
 

[flexcoders] How do we implement pop-up input in Flex?

[Joshua Jackson]

Dear all,

I want to have a popup input in my flex apps where the values in the
popup window will be set to the parent window that calls this popup
window. How do we set the variable chosen to the parent window in
Flex? Could anyone give me a hint on these please.

Many thanks

Thanks. That's very close to what I want. However, this method 
disables multiple-select. It deselects items when you click 
_anywhere_. I only want to deselect when you click on empty space.

Just one more question. The zero works for me, but I¹m sure I¹ll be asked to
make it blank. Any hints as to how this could be accomplished? Coming from
the Flash side of things, all I would be looking to do is change the alpha
value of the label to zero if the value was 0.

[flexcoders] Re: Chart: pass info about series1 to series2 lineSegmentRenderer callback?

[Tim Hoff]

Unfortunately, the data property in a chart itemRenderer, only contains
the xField and the yField; because it is a ChartItem.  However, assuming
that both series relate to each other by a common xValue, you could use
that to iterate over the first series dataProvider to get the related
item; assuming that the dataProvider is public and hopefully in a model.

private var _chartItem:ChartItem;



public function get data():Object {
 return _chartItem;
}



public function set data(value:Object):void {
 if (_chartItem == value) return;

 _chartItem = ChartItem(value);



 if(_chartItem != null)
 if (ColumnSeriesItem(_chartItem).xValue != null)
var myCommonXValue : String =
ColumnSeriesItem(_chartItem).xValue.toString();
 // then loop through the first series
dataProvider, comparing the xValue, to get the associated sales value
}

Re: [flexcoders] NaN to return a string?

[Blair Cox]

Turns out showing a zero could be implied that the calculation was a zero.
This is bad, especially if the result is actually zero. Is there any way to
return a string rather than a number?

Re: [flexcoders] NaN and Infinity showing in output - How to modify?

[Sid Maskit]

Try something like this:



Note that you need to give the Label component and id, and use that id to refer 
to it in your statements within braces.

By the way, as you are no doubt noticing, the larger point here is that braces 
are not just for binding, but can contain all sorts of ActionScript.

Finally, the reason that there is && instead of  && is that we are 
inside of MXML, which is to say inside of XML, and we cannot use the & 
character there, but must escape it.

Re: [flexcoders] NaN and Infinity showing in output - How to modify?

[Sid Maskit]

Actually, if you are just going to hide the label field, you can just have it 
display the result of the formatting, and put the checking for NaN and infinity 
into the setting for visibility. Since you are going to hide the label and it 
has a value you don't like, you don't really care what it is displaying when it 
is invisible.

[Sid Maskit]

Sure, just replace the 0 with whatever text you want, putting it inside single 
quotes since the entire statement is inside of double quotes. Since you are 
setting the value of a label, what ever you put in is going to be cast to a 
string anyway.

Re: [flexcoders] NaN and Infinity showing in output - How to modify?

[Blair Cox]

Hmm, sorry the last post left a part out, it was shown lower down:



Adding the ³² as you stated, returns an error for mx:Label, ³>² or ³/>².
The zero is what is display in the application, if I could provide a short
string instead, it would be ideal. Even if the initial default text of the
label was ³whatever² until a calculated value was entered. But there are
many, many of these calculations to perform and I would like to find the
simplest answer. Close though, thanks for the help.

[flexcoders] Re: Detecting a click on an empty part of AdvancedDataGrid - SOLUTION

[whatabrain]

I found the solution to my problem. It depends on the fact 
that "click" is fired after "itemClick."


var m_processingItemClick:Boolean = false;

private function onItemClick(event:ListEvent):void
{
processingItemClick = true;
}

private function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if (m_processingItemClick)
m_processingItemClick = false;
else
grid.selectedIndex = -1;
}

Doh! Only way to get better at this is to keep working at it. Thanks for all
three of your great suggestions. The powers that be want a note, so we¹ll go
with that that. I¹ll find uses for the other options for sure.

[Carlos Obregón]

I have a method in java that returns an object of type T which has a
Set

When I import the Web Service in Flex Builder 3, it creates a class T
with an atribute of type Array

When I call the method the Array always has size 0.

Is there anyway to fix this without having to change the type in the
Java code.

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: NaN and Infinity showing in output - How to modify?

[zyzzx00_99]

to possibly help in the "vague understanding," the ()?: stuff is an
inline if statement.  (mynum > maxval) ?  is like saying If mynum is
greater than maxval.  ":" is the else.

re your errors: from eyeballing everything, numberformatter.format
returns a string (control click into ".format" in flexbuilder to see
the framework code).  I could be making this up, but NaN might be a
class too, so it is probably the cause of your coercion error.  I
would break out everything into a function that returns a string (for
the text property of your label), so the last part would be "return
PrepForDisplay.format(mynum).toString()" (or "as String").

Good Luck
Jeremy

[flexcoders] SQL crashing program

[Josh Millstein]

I have this weird deal going on right now.  I'm running through a for loop
creating a bunch of sql statements (within an exclusive transaction) with
eventlisteners for the results and errors.  The result eventlistener is
relaying the status of the progress through the sql statements ("record x of
y inserted").  The program crashes when I run the program, but when I put
code in the result eventlistener to write sql.text to a file (trying to see
if there is a bad sql statement crashing the program) it stopped the program
from crashing and everything works well.  I don't understand why that would
be.  The only thing I can think of is that there is some timing issue that
I'm skirting around with writing to a file in between each sql statement.
Does anybody have any idea why putting the code to write to a dblog file
would make the program work?  I'm sure it's is just that piece of code as
well.  Comment it and it crashes, put it back and it works.

Weird.

RE: [flexcoders] How do we implement pop-up input in Flex?

[Tracy Spratt]

An event is probably the easiest way.  Implement public propertie(s) on
the popup component that contain your data, dispatch a named event (does
not need to be a custom event), then in the handler, access the data
using event.target.myPublicProperty.

 

There are also ways to set values directly.

These are the kinds of problems that result from the shared code problem

a request to get the stock objects. They are retrieved properly and

that page. When I go back into the 1st page (or module) it looks as
though the object is not getting serialized properly. I have a
BackTestStock object with a BackTest Object and Stock object in it. 
The BackTest is ok, but the stock object is null - so it looks like it

RE: [flexcoders] Keyboard navigating through List's item renderers

[Alex Harui]

You're headed in the right direction.  I think you have to implement
IFocusManagerComponent on the renderer, and handle KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE.
FWIW, I wouldn't use a Form since it is pretty heavy.

Hi,
I have a list that renders meta data about images (title & tags).
This list uses a Form with 2 TextInput controls as an item renderer.

The user should be able to navigate through the input fields using
either the mouse or the tab key.

The List default behavior when editable=true is to set the focus to
the renderers themselves, but not to their sub components, so the Form
itself will have a focus rectangle but not the TextInput controls.

What I tried to do is to override the setFocus() on the Form
subcomponent and move the focus to the first TextInput and on that
TextInput focusOut set its focus to the 2nd TextInput.
That didn't work as expected, and even if it did, I'm sure the is a
better way to achieve this behavior.

Thank you,

The shared code module won't require any getters.  It is effective an
RSL that goes in the main app so all modules can use it w/o any changes.

Alex - 

So I should define the class in one spot - i.e. the shared code mxml,
then use some getters defined in the main app to use that instance or
definition in the module.

Thanks again for your assistance!!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Sorting an XMLList on an attribute

[Tracy Spratt]

Yes, you really should not use XMLList as a dataProvider.  *It is not
bindable* and does not dispatch the necessary events to update the UI.
By the way, this is clearly stated in the docs, and I repeat it on this
list very often.  (Do not use Array, for the same reason)

 

You need to make the change now, it will not get any better.  Also, I
suggest you use XML for the tree dataProvider.  It is inherently
hierarchical, instead of the nested lists you get with
XMLListCollection.  You can still break out a node into an XMLList or
XMLListCollection as needed in the code. Just a matter of taste, though.

Hi Tracy,
 Thanks a lot for replying. That cleared a lot of my confusion between
XMLList and XMLListCollection. Based on your example I am able to sort
the XMLList. But there is one issue I observed. I have to reset my tree
dataProvider after sorting the XMLList (tree.dataProvider = booksList).
If I do not do that certain duplicate values start appearing in the tree
on multiple invocations of sort. I am not sure whats causing this as the
actual tree dataProvider (bookList) always remains in a consistent state
even after multiple invocations of the sort. My dataProvider is Bindable
so should not tree always represent the current state of the
dataProvider (bookList) without my resetting the dataProvider. Please
let me know if I am missing something.

 Following is my complete code:

The braces actually _are_ executing a binding here, as they will do 
something different when the value of the variable changes.  If the 
value was not expected to change, you could do the same without the

[flexcoders] Re: Text components of Gumbo

[haykelbj]

Hi Gordon,

thank you for these explanations! Now I have a better overview on
what's going on.

So I started my tests and I will use this thread to share my
experiences (tell me if there's a better place).

I found some problems that I will submit in the Flex Bug System. I
already submitted one (https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-16315),
more is coming :)

Some questions that raised during my explorations:
1. What's the difference between TextBox and TextGraphic?
2. Why TextBox doesn't support the 'direction' property?
2. Why setting properties of TextArea's and TextIput's textView are
not applied until the content is changed? Is this a bug or am I doing
it the wrong way?

That's it for now :)

Re: [flexcoders] Re: NaN and Infinity showing in output - How to modify?

[Sid Maskit]

I think I see your point here, and I guess that I have not made mine clearly 
enough, so here is a little more on this.

When we say text="{myNumber}", we are really setting up whatever is within the 
braces as an event handler for the event dispatched whenever myNumber changes. 
If we think of binding as setting up that relationship, then yes, everything in 
this thread is using binding. However, I think it is common for beginners to 
think of that statement as binding the text attribute to the latest value of 
myNumber, and to think of binding as doing no more than such assignments.

I think it is important part of learning flex to realize that one can do much 
more than that. In the largest sense, one can do almost anything that is 
possible with a single ActionScript statement, so long as it returns a valid 
value for the attribute to which it is assigned, in this case the text 
attribute. For example, one could do something rather complicated, like this:

text="{(myNumber != 0) ? myFunction() : myOtherFunction()}"

So long as both functions returned a value that could be validly assigned to 
the text attribute, this approach is valid, and we can obviously do any valid 
ActionScript within either function. I'm not sure that this approach would be a 
best practice, but the point is that we are doing a lot more than simply taking 
the value of myNumber and assigning it to text.

Finally, although I do not think you meant to imply this, I think it is worth 
saying that one cannot use ActionScript within an assignment to an MXML 
attribute without using braces. Well, one can, but it will be treated as a 
string, not as code to be run.

[flexcoders] Re: Any future plans to support ODBC Connections for AIR applications?

[pbrendanc]

I understand the tcp approach but that's just a really
roundabout/indirect approach vs a direct db connection of some sort
(maybe native drivers if ODBC is not your thing - again look at the
Python libraries) .

I'd be curious to hear the official Adobe position on this and whether
this is a feature they may offer in the future. Since AIR allows access
to the file system (XML or csv text files only AFAIK) I can see folks
asking for other access to other file types (e.g. MS Excel).  I can also
understand that Adobe may see this somewhat problematic from a
marketing/product positioning/support standpoint.

FWIW I don't think this issue will go away if AIR gets real traction in
the market place. There are just so many desktop database apps out there
that are begging to be web enabled.

Just my $0.02c-
Patrick

[flexcoders] Selecting an Editor for a DataGridColumn at runtime - how?

[garyq22]

Hello Group

I would like to select an Editor for each cell in my DataGrid
depending on other data values that might be in the same row.

I believe I can use the itemEditBegin event to assign and create my
chosen editor. I've got this far and I'm well stuck.

I know the following doesn't work - I just posted it to show that I am
trying :-)

Any assistance greatly appreciated!

private function onItemEditBegin(event:DataGridEvent):void
{
 var dgc:DataGridColumn;
 dgc = 
event.currentTarget.columns[event.currentTarget.editedItemPosition.columnIndex];
 if (dgc != null)
 {
  dgc.itemEditor = IFactory(mx.controls.NumericStepper);
  event.currentTarget.createItemEditor();
 }
}

[flexcoders] Re: Chart: pass info about series1 to series2 lineSegmentRenderer callback?

[chigwell23]

Hi Johannes,

The actual data to chart is of course already provided to the 2 series
via the dataprovider - the reason I need series 2 renderer to know
about series 1 is in order to position the line segments exactly above
the series 1 columns as Flex auto adjusts those column positions based
on underlying data/position of the moon etc :-)

[flexcoders] LCDS - Tomcat - JOTM Integration

[Geoffrey]

After a couple days of fussing around, I was able to successfully
integrate JOTM into our webapp, and thought that I'd share what I did.
 Hopefully it will be useful to someone else.


Environment:
Eclipse 3.3.1.1
Tomcat 6.0.16
LCDS 2.5.1
JOTM 2.0.10


Installation:
1) Download JOTM 2.0.10 from http://forge.objectweb.org/projects/jotm/
if you don't already have it.
2) Unzip to c:\
3) Link those jars to Tomcat
a. Double-click Tomcat definition in the Servers tab of Eclipse.
b. Click "Open launch configuration".
c. Select the Classpath tab.
d. Select "User Entries", and then "Add External JARs".
e. Navigate to C:\jotm-2.0.10\lib.
f. Select all classes except commons-logging.jar and log4j.jar.
g. Apply the changes and exit Tomcat properties.
h. (optional) test JOTM installation by starting the server and
accessing the below JSP file*.  Success will be obvious.
4) Edit your META-INF\context.xml to include the following line:



You should now be able to perform create, delete, and update
operations on a managed collection of a DataService.


* Optional JSP file(I got this from someone in this forum, but can't
remember who)
<%@ page import="javax.transaction.UserTransaction" %>
<%@ page import="javax.naming.InitialContext" %>
<%@ page import="javax.naming.Context" %>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] import="javax.naming.NamingException"%>

}
UserTransaction userTransaction = (UserTransaction)

[flexcoders] Can see series[0].seriesRenderData in debug - cannot code to it?

[chigwell23]

Hi all,

Thanks very much for all your help so far ... I am now accessing the
chart object from within the line renderer with:

override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
 
unscaledHeight:Number):void
{

var lc:ColumnChart;
var ls:LineSeries = parent as LineSeries;
lc = ls.owner as ColumnChart;

In examining debug, I found

lc.series[0].seriesRenderData of type ColumnSeriesRenderData which
"Represents all the information needed by the ColumnSeries to render"
and within that

seriesRenderData.renderedXOffset, The offset of each column from its x
value, in pixels;
seriesRenderData.renderedhalfWidth,Half the width of a column, in pixels;

Thinking that I was now cooking with gas/petroleum/ethanol/mazola I coded

var renderedXOffset:Number = lc.series[0].seriesRenderData.renderedXOffset

to find that any reference to .seriesRenderData creates an error. If I
can see this dot notation in the debug variable pane, shouldn't I be
able to code it? Again TIA,

Mic.

In at least some instances, MXML will run code that is not within

It's not treating the text within the itemClick property as a string,

but you don't ALWAYS have to enclose your as expressions in brackets 
to get them to run.

[flexcoders] problem adding images to UIComponents using AS3

[Merrill, Jason]

I don't get why this code is failing, it's reproducible if you put an image in 
the path shown below.  (This isn't the actual code in my app, I just isolated a 
problem and made the problem reproducible it here.  In my real app, it's 
failing to embed an image into a class that is added to a UI component. The 
class extends Sprite). 

The first Image class instance declared with MXML embeds the image just fine. 
The second, using a UIComponent and adding an instance of the image class to it 
fails. Why?  See comments in the code below:

True. Good point. Event handler attributes are assumed to contain code. Most 
attributes are of a type like string or number, and will need braces to get a 
value treated as code. I'm not sure if there are other attributes beside event 
handlers which are also assumed to contain code, but it wouldn't surprise me if 
there are some others.

it is worth saying that one cannot use ActionScript within an 
assignment to an MXML attribute without using braces. Well, one can, 
but it will be treated as a string, not as code to be run.

In at least some instances, MXML will run code that is not within 
braces, for instance 



It's not treating the text within the itemClick property as a string, 
but as code to be run.  I'm not certain exactly where the line is, 
but you don't ALWAYS have to enclose your as expressions in brackets 
to get them to run.

[flexcoders] Multi-line repeated graphics

[Richard Rodseth]

I have a requirement for a data visualization that involves a graphic
repeated n times as follows, over multiple lines/rows.

x
x
xx

However, it should also never scroll, and fill whatever space is available,
with the cell size varying as necessary, with aspect ratio preserved.

I've experimented with two approaches:
1) using Degrafa as an item renderer for a TileList
2) Tile with Repeater, with Degrafa object inside Repeater

2) is promising, and as someone on the Degrafa list suggested, I could
render at a fixed reference size, and apply a scale to the container. The
overhead of the repeater approach is obviously a concern, but the challenge
with 1) is dynamically determining the cell size so that the component
doesn't scroll. I can't turn off clipContent, since TileList is not a
container.

I feel the need for a Degrafa extension or yet another custom tiling
component, but my other one hasn't exactly been a walk in the park, so ideas
are welcome.

Re: [flexcoders] problem adding images to UIComponents using AS3

[Sid Maskit]

There is probably more to it than this, but note that the action script 
language reference listing for UIComponent says, "The UIComponent class is not 
used as an MXML tag, but is used as a base class for other classes."

My suspicion is that it does not contain the logic needed to properly display 
children that are added to it, and that its descendents provide this logic.

I don't get why this code is failing, it's reproducible if you put an image in 
the path shown below.  (This isn't the actual code in my app, I just isolated a 
problem and made the problem reproducible it here.  In my real app, it's 
failing to embed an image into a class that is added to a UI component. The 
class extends Sprite). 
The first Image class instance declared with MXML embeds the image just fine. 
The second, using a UIComponent and adding an instance of the image class to it 
fails. Why?  See comments in the code below:

Parents size their children in Flex, so the UIComponent's image size is
probably zero since nobody sized it

[flexcoders] Re: problem adding images to UIComponents using AS3

[Jason]

It may be true that it's not intended to be described as MXML, but it 
does work, since you can't add sprites directly to containers like 
panels, you have to add them to UIComponents first, I used a 
UIComponent MXML tag elsewhere in my app to add a Sprite and it 
worked just fine.  So I don't think that's it.  I could declare the 
UIComponent with AS too, I just used MXML to get my example up and 
running quickly.  

Any other ideas?  Thanks.

So good to know, I tried this:



But still no joy.  Does it have to be sized by it's parent?
