Re: [flexcoders] LCDS and real-time performance

[Rogier Oorburg]

Hi,

Sorry about the long post, I have gathered some more logging information in 
this mail. To maybe make clearer where all the time is spent. 
Is there a way to set the packet-size (or 'chunk' size?) to be able to send 
rather large messages (or a lot of small ones) more efficiently? Or could there 
be some other cause for this slow communication between client and server?

Thanks, hope these loggings shed some light on the situation...

[flexcoders] Normalize removing my data??? Is this a bug in Flex?

[flexaustin]

I have been tracing this bug for two days and finally found it. I
don't see how this .normalize method is changing data in other areas
of my code?

So when makeData is called I pass it xml with child nodes. It is
stored in _data and then I se several variables and call the the
buildXMLObj method. When inside the buildXMLObj when the line with
.normalize is run my variable _data (now only contains parent nodes
with out the children). The buildXMLObj removes children but it is
never assigned to _data so how is _data getting changed?

package 
{
public class DataDelegate
{
import mx.rpc.AsyncToken;
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;

import com.models.ViewModelLocator;

private var modelLocator:ViewModelLocator =
ViewModelLocator.getInstance();
private var _newSelected:int = 0;
private var midXML:XMLList;
private var _data:XMLList;

public function DataDelegate(){

}

private function buildXMLObj(xmllist:XMLList):void
{
var copyOfList:XML = ;
for each (var xl:XML in xmllist)
{
 if (xl.length())
 {
xl.replace("*", "");
 }
copyOfList.appendChild(xl);
}
copyOfList = copyOfList.normalize();
midXML = copyOfList.descendants("*");

}

public function makeData(datas:XML):void
{
trace("MakeData was called
---");
var _data:XML = datas;
modelLocator.selected = -1;
var xml:XML = datas as XML;
var _newSelected:int;

var comps:XMLList = xml.group.component;
buildXMLObj(xml.group);
var groups:XMLList = midXML;

if (modelLocator.comps.length() > 0)
{ 
_newSelected = parseInt([EMAIL 
PROTECTED]);
modelLocator.selected = 
_newSelected;
}
/*  modelLocator.allDataArr.splice(_newSelected,1); 
*/
modelLocator.allDataArr[_newSelected] = _data;  
modelLocator.comps = comps;
modelLocator.groups = groups;
}
}
}

[flexcoders] Question about binding via AS

[Josh McDonald]

Hey guys,

If you create a binding via AS, will the binding "stop" when the returned
ChangeWatcher instance is garbage collected? If not, is ChangeWatcher sort
of a "pointer" to some player-internal stuff, or is there a strong reference
to the ChangeWatcher via the event binding to PropertyChange on the host?

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Newbie help basic Photoviewer

[brucewhealton]

I meant to point out a reason why I might run into troubles.  I am
following a training title on Lynda.com on Actionscript 3.0 with Flex.
 The instructor is using Flex 2.0 and I am using Flex 3.0 with
Actionscript 3.0 (obviously).  I'm not sure if that could be a cause
of my difficulties or not.

[brucewhealton]

Hello all, 
   I think I would need to include the code to get an idea as to
what I might be doing wrong.  So, I posted the code for the three
files here:  http://futurewave.biz/PhotoViewer/sourceCode/PhotoViewer.as
http://futurewave.biz/PhotoViewer/sourceCode/SlideshowViewer.as
http://futurewave.biz/PhotoViewer/sourceCode/Thumbnail.as

The application itself, which partially works is here:
http://futurewave.biz/PhotoViewer/PhotoViewer.html

This application takes a few images and displays a slideshow of those
images.  It first displays thumbnails and when the user clicks on a
thumbnail it opens up the full size image.  Then if you click
slideshow, it should display each image in sequence.  Unfortunately,
my code for the slideshow does not work.  If you click on any image
and then select slideshow, it just jumps back to the first image and
stops.

  The main class is Photoviewer.as and it calls a list of photos
called Vacation1.jpg through Vacation12.jpg and ThumbnailVacation1.jpg
through ThumbnailVacation12.jpg  This was from a training class I took

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid - Grouping Question

[Rafael Faria]

Ok, sorry about my last post, it was really my fault. But i hope that
someone help me with this.

I have the following Array Collection 

ArrayCollection
- ITEM 1
   - field1 = "laljlajdk";
   - field2 = "kaskljsad";
   - field3 = "jaskjdlkaskld"
   - field4 = (Object)
- object1 
  - field1 = "akjkd"
  - field2 = "akjkd"
  - field3 = "akjkd"
- object2 
  - field1 = "akjkd"
  - field2 = "akjkd"
  - field3 = "akjkd"
   
   - field5 = "jaskjdlkaskld"
   - field6 = "jaskjdlkaskld"
   - field7 = (Object)
  - field1 = "akjkd"
  - field2 = "akjkd"
  - field3 = "akjkd"
   - field8 = "aksjkldas"
   - field9 = "akjdlkasj"
- ITEM 2
   - field1 = "laljlajdk";
   - field2 = "kaskljsad";
   - field3 = "jaskjdlkaskld"
   - field4 = (Object)
- object1 
  - field1 = "akjkd"
  - field2 = "akjkd"
  - field3 = "akjkd"
- object2 
  - field1 = "akjkd"
  - field2 = "akjkd"
  - field3 = "akjkd"
   
   - field5 = "jaskjdlkaskld"
   - field6 = "jaskjdlkaskld"
   - field7 = (Object)
  - field1 = "akjkd"
  - field2 = "akjkd"
  - field3 = "akjkd"
   - field8 = "aksjkldas"
   - field9 = "akjdlkasj"

 and so on...
first question is, 

how can i display this data grouped exactly the way it is on an
advanced datagrid?

secondly, if i set the advancedcolumns to be

|ITEM 1 |field4  |
field1 | field2 |field3 |   field1   | field2 |  field3 |   
 

How do i associate the the fields that are under field4 to their columns?

I know it might sounds confusing, but believe me, advanced datagrids
is giving me headaches.

;P

Any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex/AIR IRC Channel?

[Aaron Miller]

So make it alive. There doesn't need to be any "official sanction" to talk
about Flex in a public setting. If it catches on, it catches on. If not,
then it was a bad idea.

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGridColumn labelFunction

[Rafael Faria]

Hey guys,

me again :)

I'm building an advanceddatagrid and i got to a problem.

my dataprovider is an arraycollection of objects with objects inside
objects.
ok let me simplify.

its something like

ArrayCollection
  - Array
 - Object 1
- field 1
- field 2
- field 3 (object)
   - field 1
   - field 2
- field 4

 - Object 2
- field 1
- field 2
- field 3 (object)
   - field 1
   - field 2
- field 4


and so on...

when i try to test it, using the labelFunction like the following code

advColumn.labelFunction = function(item:Object,
column:AdvancedDataGridColumn):String {
trace(ObjectUtil.toString(item));
return null;
}

my trace comes something like
Object
   - field 1 = "bla bla";
   - field 2 = "foo foo";
   - field 3 = "[Object Object]";
   - field 4 = "boo boo";


My question is, why flex convert my object on field 3 to "string"?
shouldnt it just preserve the value?

how can i get that object.field3 as an object inside the labelFunction?

thanks

raf

RE: [flexcoders] LCDS and real-time performance

[Jeff Vroom]

I'm not sure where all of that time is going...  between these two log 
statements:

[LCDS] 16:25:10.578 [DEBUG] Thread[my-rtmp-SocketServer-WorkerThread-
1,5,main] Connection '19658898' starting a read.
...
[LCDS] 16:25:10.937 [DEBUG] Deserializing AMF/RTMP request

The code is reading data off of the socket until it gets a complete AMF 
message.   ~350ms is a long time to spend reading data off the socket.   I 
wonder if maybe the client is writing either a lot of data into a large message 
or if it is introducing some latency with its ability to write?   It might make 
sense to turn on more debugging options such as "Protocol.*" or maybe even "*" 
so we see all targets.   That will give us more fine-grained timings of where 
the time is being spent.  Of course that much debug logging will slow things 
down overall but it can be helpful to see what exactly the system is doing.

Subject: [flexcoders] LCDS and real-time performance


Hi,

Recently we have started an experiment on our benchmark-LAN where we
have several Windows XP PCs running test programs. One of the PCs is
the data-injector (Flex) which pushes changes every second, one is
the LCDS2.6 server running on Tomcat and one PC is running the client
application (Flex) in which the changes are visible every second.
This experiment should determine if Flex using LCDS is a viable
option for our real-time systems.
There is very little network-traffic and CPU-usage on all PCs is very
low, yet the system is able to handle only 400 changes every second.

Using our own logger we see that about 400ms pass between the
injector committing the changes and the server synchronizing the
database. Another 400ms are needed to get all the changes to the
other client so it can merge the changes and display them.

By examining the built-in server-side logging of LCDS, it becomes
clear that a lot of time is spent in the sending and receiving of
messages over RTMP:

[LCDS] 16:25:10.578 [DEBUG] Thread[my-rtmp-SocketServer-WorkerThread-
1,5,main] Connection '19658898' starting a read.
...
[LCDS] 16:25:10.937 [DEBUG] Deserializing AMF/RTMP request
...
[LCDS] 16:25:10.968 [DEBUG] Before invoke service: data-service
...
[LCDS] 16:25:11.156 [DEBUG] After invoke service: data-service;
execution time = 172ms
...
[LCDS] 16:25:11.171 [DEBUG] Serializing AMF/RTMP push x 400
...
[LCDS] 16:25:11.390 [DEBUG] Committed transaction
...
[LCDS] 16:25:11.421 [DEBUG] After invoke service: data-service
reply: Flex Message (flex.messaging.messages.AcknowledgeMessage)
... etc. etc.

As you can probably see the communication starting at the first entry
up to the start of deserialization already takes approx. 400ms.. the
processing of all the changes 172.
The pushing of all the changes again takes about 400ms. If we can
eliminate these two bottlenecks LCDS would be the perfect candidate
to use in our new systems.

We have tried everything we can think of, but nothing seems to help.
Is it the RTMP protocol or a server or socket setting, or the way the
server handles multithreading? Is there some JVM setting we don't
know about?

Any pointers and help would be appreciated!

Greetings,
Rogier Oorburg

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Optimize with callLater() -- help?

[Tracy Spratt]

What I usually do is to declare an iIteration:int = 0 variable and an
iEndIndex:int = number of iterations instance vars.

 

Then I call a control function, which checks to see if the iIteration is
less than the iEndIndex, and if so, it calls the main work function.
The main work function does its stuff, increments the iIteration var,
then uses callLater to call the control function.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Optimize with callLater() -- help?

 

I think callLater() is going to work for me, but I have another
question:

To create my pages, I loop through an array of Room objects. For each
Room, I set it to be the currentRoom, which tells the view to display
that Room's information. I figure I can do this (pseudocode):

for (var i:uint = 0; i < rooms.length; i++) {
model.currentRoom = rooms[i];
callLater( makePageFromRoom() );
}

I figure this should tell the view to update itself, and then the
callLater() should create the PDF page after the view has finished
updating.

But how do I loop through the rooms? Should I do an enterFrame event
listener, and in every frame, set the currentRoom to the new room and
do a new callLater()?

Thanks,

RE: [flexcoders] Headless compilation with AdvancedDataGrid

[Jim Hayes]

I'm afraid I know very little about ant builds myself, just had the help 
bookmarked since I've been making a few simple ones myself.

>I've tried to copy all the swc's from

That seems to mean that you haven't allocated enough memory to the java 
process(?) used to run the ant task 
At this point I could be talking pure rubbish, I really do know very little 
about java in general.

looks like you deliberately allocated it with  , is 
that right?

For what it's worth, I had to set these  -Xmx512M -Xms256M 
in flexbuilder to avoid the OutOfMemoryError errors I was getting when building 
debug versions,
so maybe 128 looks a bit small?

Looks like you might not have your library paths quite right as well, I'm not 
quite sure what to suggest there since I rather blundered through it myself 
before getting it correct.

Sorry I can't be of more help, best of luck with it.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ItemRenderer returns empty Object instead of encapsuled data - update

[Alex Harui]

To copy yourself would look something like this

 

myDragDropHandler(event:DragEvent):void

{

If (event.action == DragManager.COPY)

{

event.preventDefault();

var index:int = calculateDropIndex(event);

var items:Array =
event.dragSource.dataForFormat("items");

var n:int = items.length;

for (var i:int = 0; I < n; i++)

{

var newVO:VO = new VO();

var oldVO:VO = items[i] as VO;

newVo.prop1 = oldVO.prop1;

newVo.prop2 = oldVO.prop2;

dataProvider.addItemAt(newVO,
index);

 

}

}

}

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ItemRenderer returns empty Object instead of encapsuled data - update

[Alex Harui]

Ah, ok.  The default copy mechanism won't work on typed objects unless
they are [RemoteClass] or use registerClassAlias.  You can always
override the dragDrop handle and do your own intelligent copy.

Hello Alex,

dragMoveEnabled is making the difference. When i don't use any
ItemRenderer the called i 
get [object PlayListItem] and the collections i wrapped in typed
methods.

It seems like the DataGridDragProxy works not right, when
dragMoveEnabled is set to 
false. Actually it does in my case as far as i can say.

Best regards.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: DragManager gets stuck in dragging state even when mouse button is up.

[Alex Harui]

You can call mx_internal methods.  You can also get the IDragManagerImpl
out of singleton and call that too.

 

The best solution would be to figure out why your dragging gets stuck,
but that could be quite time sonsouming

endDrag is defined in DragManager.as as mx_internal, so that doesn't
do me any good:

/**

mx_internal static function endDrag():void
{
impl.endDrag();
}

I am using the following code to highlight a cell:

unscaledHeight:Number):void
{
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, 
unscaledHeight); 
var blockNum:int = data.columnIndex + 1;

.
if (grid1.isItemSelected(data))
{
storeBackgroundCell = getStyle("backgroundColor");
if (g == null)

g.drawRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight + 1);
g.endFill();
}
if (data["plan" + blockNum] == 2)
{
g.clear();
g.beginFill(storeBackgroundCell);
g.drawRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight

g.endFill(); 
}
}
}
What happens is that code will highlight all cells in the grid. Why 
is that?

Thumb owner gets fixed up, but not the track which is parented by a

Hi all,

I have a custom track for a slider control. in it i'm trying to wire
up the change for the parent slider so that when the slider changes, i
can do some stuff. i have this in my initialize() method:

Slider(owner).addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, this.parent_change);

however, when i run it, i get:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
mx.core::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.controls.sliderClasses.Slider.

but the thing is, i stopped and debugged and i saw that the owner was
of type HSlider. I thought, well, maybe there is an inheritance issue,
so i changed the cast to HSlider temporarily and i still got the error.

am i misunderstanding something here?

thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Casting parent to HSlider fails

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi,

Sometimes owner isn't set until createChildren().

Have you tried using 'parent' instead of 'owner'?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ItemRenderer returns empty Object instead of encapsuled data - update

[Alex Harui]

Are you using modules or sub-applications?  Where does the data come
from?  It seems like it isn't being converted correctly.  Have you
proven that each collection contains the correct object and not Objects?

Update:

Using a for each loop shows me even the right value, but it's type is
lost.
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
trace(describeType(value));
for each(var a:* in value) {
trace(a)
}
if (this._item == value) {
return;
}
super.data = value;
if (value is IPlayListItem) {
this._item = IPlayListItem(value);
}
this.dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));
}

-> the condition value is IPLayListItem is actually never true.

[flexcoders] Re: Optimize with callLater() -- help?

[David Ham]

I think callLater() is going to work for me, but I have another question:

To create my pages, I loop through an array of Room objects. For each
Room, I set it to be the currentRoom, which tells the view to display
that Room's information. I figure I can do this (pseudocode):

for (var i:uint = 0; i < rooms.length; i++) {
model.currentRoom = rooms[i];
callLater( makePageFromRoom() );
}

I figure this should tell the view to update itself, and then the
callLater() should create the PDF page after the view has finished
updating.

But how do I loop through the rooms? Should I do an enterFrame event
listener, and in every frame, set the currentRoom to the new room and
do a new callLater()?

Thanks,

OK

[florian.salihovic]

Another wierd observation: when i set dragMoveEnabled="true" from the 
source-list, i get 
the expected results. But i don't want it to be dragMoveEnabled.

But at least i'm moving forward...

[flexcoders] Casting parent to HSlider fails

[bryancostanich]

Hi all,

I have a custom track for a slider control. in it i'm trying to wire
up the change for the parent slider so that when the slider changes, i
can do some stuff. i have this in my initialize() method:

Slider(owner).addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, this.parent_change);

however, when i run it, i get:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
mx.core::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.controls.sliderClasses.Slider.

but the thing is, i stopped and debugged and i saw that the owner was
of type HSlider. I thought, well, maybe there is an inheritance issue,
so i changed the cast to HSlider temporarily and i still got the error.

am i misunderstanding something here?

thanks.

if (g == null)
{
g = graphics;
}   
if (data["plan" + blockNum] == 1)
{
g.clear();
g.beginFill(0xe1dc4d);
g.drawRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight + 1);
g.endFill();
}
if (data["plan" + blockNum] == 2)
{
g.clear();
g.beginFill(storeBackgroundCell);
g.drawRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight

}
What happens is that code will highlight all cells in the grid. Why 
is that?

endDrag is defined in DragManager.as as mx_internal, so that doesn't
do me any good:

/**

 */
mx_internal static function endDrag():void
{
impl.endDrag();
}

[flexcoders] Re: ItemRenderer returns empty Object instead of encapsuled data.

[florian.salihovic]

Something i forgot to add:
in the Debugger the passed Object, which is said to be not convertable in the 
desired 
type, shows the right properties.

Pretty strange to me.

[flexcoders] Re: Mouse Wheel over TextArea

[blc187]

I have this same problem with the mouse_wheel event getting caught by 
something on top of my canvas that I want to scroll.
Except instead of a TextArea, it's an HBox.  And HBox has no 
mouseWheelHandler to override.
How can I stop the HBox from keeping the event to itself?

[flexcoders] REPOST: HELP >> air runtime & app - silent install

[aphexyuri]

hey mike (or anyone else)

we already applied for the license, and all that...i'm working on the
flex / flash /air side of things, where someone else is doing the
installer (he's not on this forum), so let me paste his mail to me:

/*
In the course of setting up the AIR silent installer, I ran into a
problem. I believe I have reached a sandbox limitation. While in the
correct folder, the argument goes like this:

screenbird_gui.exe -silent { -eulaAccepted ( -location  ) }
screenbird_gui.air

Let me explain. This is the command to launch the AIR runtime
installation
(screenbird_gui.exe is the renamed exe, as per their instructions). It is
supposed to install into a directory called testy.sorry, I was
frustrated! And this would also install the air app screenbird_gui.air.
The problem is i get "Access is denied" when I try to install into "testy"
folder. The directions say to give an absolute path, but that's a
bunch of
crap. It says it can't find file if I do that.


Any thoughts?

i was maybe thinking that it had something to do with the digital

[flexcoders] confusions about versions

[Claudio M. E. Bastos Iorio]

. The latest Flex builder version is not 3.0.194161, right?

. The update named 'Flexbuilder 3.0.1 Update' included in
autoupdater, also contains the Flex SDK 3.1.0.2710?

. I know I can get the latest versions for Flex SDK from here:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+3. But I
still should Update the Flex Builder, that's right?

. The Flex builder version here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/downloadflex3, is the latest? It contains the latest
update?

 

Thanks in advance if you guys can answer me this (or some) questions.

[flexcoders] Change Chart Data via Combobox: redraw?

[cox.blair]

I did not think this would be an issue, but I simply cannot understand
why this won't work:

I'm starting with a simple test, so no real code to speak of, but this
is what I'm doing.

A simple line chart, with three series. I have three combobox's. Each
series calls a unique dataPrivider (works fine when placing static
values) based on the selection in the combobox;



I have a label to provide a visual output of the cb selection in the
app and it is correct. I thought this would be the same as statically
typing in the value, but it appears the chart is not redrawing, yet
many on the examples I've found in the Adobe pages make similar
adjustments in a similar manner, no method to redraw. Very confusing.

So, can anyone point me in the direction of a sample where you can
change a charts dataProvider and yField within the application via a
combobox selections?

Thanks,

I've been reading the blogs all afternoon and haven't found an answer
to this (probably because it's really simple), but what I want to do
is populate a combobox from two data sources. One will be from a small
array in the mxml, the other will be from the database and dependant
on what the user has entered, but they must appear in the same combobox.

I've been looking at hierarchical data providers and GroupCollections,
but just can't see how to fit it together for my use.

Thanks,

Is there any way to force the DragManager to stop dragging? I am using
it to drag objects within my program and sometimes after a drag it gets
into a state in which the mouse button is not pressed but
DragManager.isDragging == true.

Since .isDragging is read-only I can't just set it true. I tried passing
null's to doDrag but that doesn't work.

Alex,

Could you be more specific? 'Listen' ala .addEventListener? If so
does that mean Main dispatches a new/different event than AppMenuEvent?

For the record my current implementation is a AppMenuDispatcher
singleton (built at the top of the component tree) that
accepts/registers listeners, and fires the listeners menuEvent()
method when it receives an AppMenuEvent.

Thanks in advanced.

[flexcoders] Re: Debug Termination

[Mike Morearty]

I can explain what is going on here: On some combinations of OS+browser, Flex 
Builder 
can "terminate" the app, and on others it can't.  For example:

- On both Windows and Mac, if you debug an AIR app, then when you click 
Terminate, Flex 
Builder can terminate the app.

- On Windows with Internet Explorer, Flex Builder can kill the iexplore.exe 
process that it 
had launched.  However, IIRC there are some edge cases where this doesn't work.

- On both Windows and Mac with Firefox, there is no reliable way to terminate 
the app.  
Killing firefox.exe doesn't work, because if Firefox had already been running 
before you 
launched your app, then the old instance of Firefox -- which probably also has 
a bunch of 
other tabs open -- will end up running the app, and it would be very uncool to 
kill that 
process.  And Firefox does not provide a way for me to just programmatically 
close one 
particular tab.

- On Mac with Safari, when you click Terminate, we use AppleScript to tell the 
browser to 
close the tab.

So that's why you see inconsistent behavior.

I'm still fumbling my way through framiliarizing myself with callLater, but 
from what I've been able to do with it, it works perfectly.
As I understand it, you can call a method if you don't have any parameters in 
it like callLater( doSomething ); but if you can't do that you can throw an 
inline function in there like this:

callLater ( Function () : void { doSomething( firstParameter, secondParameter,

That may be considered ghetto, but it works for me.

I'm building a room layout application, and one of its features is
that you can create a PDF printout of your project. I'm using AlivePDF
to create the PDFs in the Flash player.

The app needs to create PDFs of many pages, and each page takes awhile
to create. what I just started seeing today is that it times out
before it can create all the pages.

My general routine is that I have a print view class that's a
container for the pages. Each room in the project gets a page, so for
each room, I set the print view to show that room, invalidate the view
with validateNow(), create the image, and pass it into the PDF.

I figure I can cut the createPrintout() method into a few different
methods, but for whichever method calls these smaller ones, how do I
keep it from timing out before all the pages are created? How can I
use callLater() to spread this work out so that this process (which by
its nature takes awhile) doesn't time out?

[flexcoders] Re: how do you check the state during updateDisplayList()?

[bryancostanich]

except, as i pointed out in my post, i'm not looking for the skin
class names (as that link talks about). i just want to know what the
state of it is. if you want to do it like in the article, you have to
build a skin class. it would seem to me that you could get the state
somehow without doing that.  but the "name" property is just the
instance name if you don't add the skin class.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: getChildByName using it to get the value of a textbox

[Gordon Smith]

Declare an instance variable of type Object or Dictionary for storing
named references to dynamically created components:

 

public var dynamicallyCreatedComponents:Object = {};

 

In a method where you create a component at runtime, do

 

var b:Button = new Button();

b.label = "OK";

dynamicallyCreatedComponents["okButton"] = b;

 

Later you can access this button as follows:

 

dynamicallyCreatedComponents["okButton"]

[flexcoders] File upload + Basic Authentication - please, help!!!

[Dmitry Miller]

Hello, everyone

I am trying to implement file upload and authenticate myself via basic
authentication. However, when I try to add "Authorization" header into
underlying URLRequest object, Flash Player seems to ignore my code and
proceed without this header. I am using Flash version 9.0.124 which,
according to the documentation, allows tampering with "Authorization"
header

Is Basic Auth support possible for file upload? and if it is, how do I
make it work?

Thanks,

--- Dmitry

[flexcoders] Re: Debug Termination

[nathanpdaniel]

Ok - so right now - when I click the red square in the Debug panel 
(which has Xs, play, pause, stop and detatch(?-not sure what the last 
is)) - it ONLY detatches - in Flex 3 Beta - hitting the red square 
would shut down the browser window.
I also tried the red square (terminate) in the Console panel - still 
only detatched.
I heard this could be a bug - is it?  Or is there some setting 
somewhere that needs to be changed/updated?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder 3.0.1 and Eclipse 3.4 classic not working together

[Douglas Knudsen]

jazzamin!  I have not tested all functionality yet, I do have work to do
after all, but here is how to get FB 3.0.1 into Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede.  These
are steps using what used to be called a extension point to install plugins
externally, a nicer way to enable easier Eclispe upgrades.

1) Help > Software Updates
2) Available Software
3) Add SIte > Local
4) point to /com.adobe.flexbuilder.update.site
5) In the install dialog following this, you should see 4 features available
for installation, choose them all
6) mash Install and accept the agreements and KACHOW!

note that I am using Vista and have no time to check this under Ubuntu and
also I have no sour Apples around :)

RE: Re[flexcoders] moving DataGrid's last(empty) row

[Manu Dhanda]

I tried setting the rowCount equal to dataprovider.length. (not length+1, as
header also counted in rowCount, so length will actually be a row less thn
the dataprovider's length.)

But it doesn't work and give me the same result.

Any other way to get the required result??

Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flexbuilder 3.0.1 Update

Hi Amy,

Assuming you got 3.1 from the auto-updater all of the dataviz components should 
be in there.  It's possible though that the source didn't extract correctly, 
try re-applying your serial number?

[flexcoders] Re: Event Propagation

[ron_mori]

Alex,

Could you be more specific?  'Listen' ala .addEventListener?  If so
does that mean Main dispatches a new/different event than AppMenuEvent?

For the record my current implementation is a AppMenuDispatcher
singleton (built at the top of the component tree) that
accepts/registers listeners, and fires the listeners menuEvent()
method when it receives an AppMenuEvent.

Thanks in advanced.

There's also the red terminate button on the console tab; that sometimes

make sure that there is a green run button next to it, to make sure that
it's the right one.

Re: [flexcoders] Debug Termination

[Daniel Freiman]

No, I'd expect the detach to simply stop the debugger and have the app keep
running.  I'd expect the the terminate button to stop your app somehow.

Yeah, those are them.  But the terminate often doesn't work and does a
detach instead.  If flex builder launched a browser, terminate will close
the browser, thus terminating the app.  If flex builder launches a tab
within a browser, the terminate button only detaches.  I never really
thought about it before.  Sounds like a bug to me.

[flexcoders] Debug Termination

[nathanpdaniel]

Is there a debug termination "button" I've been missing?  I run VS.NET 
which has debugging where you can TERMINATE the application or DETATCH 
the application.  All I've ever seen in Flex 3 is a DETATCH.  Or 
rather - it used to be TERMINATE (I think), now it's just DETATCH.  Did 
I change a setting accidentally somewhere or is DETATCH the only 
available way to stop debugging (which still runs the application just 
without debugging).

(At least on Windows) the Adobe Updater will take care of it.

You can force the Updater to run in Flex Builder:

[flexcoders] Re: Accessing two canvas in a viewStack

[Tim Hoff]

A little confusing at the end.  You're probably saying that the
component that contains the common controls, between the two ViewStack
child Canvases, isn't persisting it's state; when you switch back and
forth.

If you have controls that are common to both views, perhaps using
ViewStates would work better in this case.  The way that its probably
setup currently, is that you have a seperate instance of the component
in each of the Canvases.  To maintain state for your common component,
just add/remove the other stuff using ViewStates.  Or, you can take the
component out of the ViewStack and layer it on top.

[flexcoders] Issue with RemoteObject

[l_m_sylvester]

Hey guys,

I'm getting an annoying error with an all-AS3 application. I've setup 
WebOrb .NET as my remoting server, and configured the application to 
point to that server. However, although I've set up a destination, 
and assigned the my-amf channel to it, I get return :-

Destination 'SelectYourSeatDestination' has no channels defined and 
the application does not define any default channels.

If I manually add a my-amf channel using :-

var channelSet : ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
var pollingAMF : AMFChannel = new AMFChannel( "my-
amf", "http://localhost:88/weborb.aspx"; );
channelSet.addChannel( pollingAMF );
remoteObject.channelSet = channelSet;

then I get the error

Channel.Connect.Failed error Invalid URL url: 'null'

This is really frustrating. Flex should pick out the destination and 
associated channels without having to do this. Has anyone else had 
such problems?

Thanks,
Lee

[flexcoders] Problem running a flex J2EE module

[darsenovski]

I am trying to install Flex J2EE module but when I try to access mxml
from my browser, but I get following error:

1 Error found. 
 
Error /hello.mxml:1 
The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.
1:  <%@ taglib uri="FlexTagLib" prefix="mm" %>
2:


Here is my mxml file:
<%@ taglib uri="FlexTagLib" prefix="mm" %>
 
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; xmlns="*">




It seems like server is not recognizing ad processing jsp tags.
If I understand correctly, these should be processed before sending
content to FlexMxmlServlet, but this does not seems to be the case. 

I am using Tomcat 6.0.1.8 and all I did is drop webtier.war to webapps
directory on tomcat and then add mxml file to war.
Any help appreciated!

[flexcoders] Re: Sizing Components

> TileList stores the renderer's size in rowHeight/columnWidth

Yes, but if I'm going to have a component that will work in any 
environment, that might not be the best thing to depend on.  My 
renderer is a subclass of button.  It seems that somehow the button 
_does_ know how much space is given to it so the label can truncate 
properly, but I'm not seeing it.

I'm thinking that I might be better off attacking from the TileList 
side, either overriding commitProperties to check the size on all 
renderers, or going in deeper where it draws the renderers and have 
it check the size of all the renderers and have it force another pass 
at a new size only if it finds one that is bigger than the first 
one.  No telling what that will screw up, though ;-).

Possibly I could have it run through the collection and see what the 
results of the labelFunction and iconFunction would be and just 
measure the one with the longest label and biggest icon, but that 
presumes those will be one and the same and won't work for other 
types of renderers.

I want to make this available to the community when finished 
(actually I already have, but I haven't got that last piece of 
functionality that would make it truly useful).
