[flexcoders] How to prevent style inheritance?
Hello, I've developed a component which extends Panel (e.g. class MyPanel) to which I apply some styles. It works perfectly fine. However, when I put another Panel inside MyPanel it inherits some of the styles of its parent. That's quite annoying. I've uploaded a demo [1] which shows the problem. When you click the button Change style the Panel inside MyPanel changes its colors (headerColors) too. Can I somehow prevent in MyPanel that its children inherit the styles from the parent? It would be great if the children don't get notified about changes to styleName in MyPanel at all. If that's not possible I'd like at least to filter out some of the style changes so that the children of MyPanel don't inherit for example the headerColors. I'd be really grateful for some tips or code snippets. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Gerhard [1] http://mjl.at/temp/demo2/
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Checkbox in Datagrid . . . how?
Yes, then you have to write code to get the data into a dataProvider for the Tree, for example creating model objects from the xml and adding them to an ArrayCollection. The checked state can for instance be a boolean inside the model. 2008/9/2 crumpelfungus [EMAIL PROTECTED] Add-on / Clarification: In my version of the datagrid checkbox scenario, I am using an XMLList to get the database data as E4X from an HTTPService request. -- http://www.juicability.com - flex blog http://www.nospoiler.com - link to youtube videos without the spoilers
Re: [flexcoders] Flex and Scene7, Flexstore license, List etiquette
You got promoted! Adobe does compete not only through products but through their consulting services as well. The fact of the matter however is that even Adobe consulting helps all of us, directly and indirectly through the competition and subbing various people on this list, developing frameworks (which you might or not use). Competition is good. free hand, free market. Even MS is good for all of us, of course they make us look good by building silverlight, so by proxy :) In the words of PJ O'Rouke Never fight an inanimate object.

[flexcoders] fullscreen vista and text measurement
Hi In an application I have, when I go fullscreen text measurement really breaks on Vista machines, we have tried several little tricks and discovered that a work around for this is resizing the app then to go fullscreen, not something I would consider an optimal release.

[flexcoders] Bindable Classes
If I add the Bindable tag at a class level every property is wrapped in by a sort of proxy that then raises PropertyChange events as appropriate. This certainly saves a lot of time instead of having to go through a class and add Bindable to every single property. But... What if there is one property that I dont want to be Bindable and more importantly I dont want it to raise PropertyChange events. Is there same NonBindable tag to achieve this??? tks

[flexcoders] AMFPHP and date/datetime data from MySQL
Hi All, Could anyone enlighten me as to how i should send and retrieve date and datetime data for inserting into MySQL via amfphp (1.9) with value objects ? If i edit the data directly in MySQL and then retrieve a vo with a Date datatype i get the following message: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert 1970-01-01 to Date. So, I need to format the date in someway so that flex can deserialize it properly. Any insight would be greatly appreciated (am coming from .net land so new to both PHP and as3). Cheers, Nik

[flexcoders] FlexBuilder 3 WSDL imports incorrectly - TypeError: Cannot marshall type 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema::Object' to simple content
Hi All, I am using FlexBuilder 3 WSDL import wizard to generate AS web service client code to access SOAP web services implemented using java. It works fine some of the web service methods where I did not pass any parameters. However I created new web service method that takes a string as input and in the wsdl its like this type=soapenc:string however the import wizard generates the type as Object and generates marshalling error as it can't find marshaller for this type. It should find the marshaller for string which exists in the list of marshallers. I keep getting this exception and I spent all day and can't resolve it. Any help to resolve it will be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need any additional details. Thanks Here is the error...

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Bindable Classes
I'm fairly certain you do need get/set functions to use custom events. It might be a pain, but unfortunately it's when you have objects with many bindable fields that you're more likely to need the custom events (otherwise binding becomes very cpu-intensive). -Josh On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 9:30 PM, Johannes Nel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: it does depend on the scale of your application. first off, to use custom events you do not need getters and setters, but it does depend on how you want to use it. my personal feeling around models are that they should always be generated, its such a waste of time to code 'em by hand.

For a little more effort you can generate all the boiler-plate code for frameworks such as Cairngorm or Parsley or whatever you use. Java DTO classes etc etc. I do this for every project and it makes changing the Model (adding/removing properties) trivial. Its also great for generating test data.

I'm fairly certain you do need get/set functions to use custom events. actually not. [Bindable(event)] public var lala:Type; and an ad hoc event being dispatched works well. if the property is being set on your model and you wish to dispatch a custom event, creating a setter is the way to do it, but managing invalidations based on logic and dispatching events can allow you to manage multiple properties in batch schemas. remember that you can also have [Bindable(event2)] [Bindable(event1)] [Bindable(event)] public var lala:Type; as for generators, i used to use python, these days i use JET which is native to eclipse.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex via php.
Hi,
It looks like you want to use AMFPHP and return AMF data serialized.
If you can't use AMF, then you should return your data as xml (create xml
representation of the array you created). Note you don't have to use xml
but, you need some string, not a php array.
In flex, you need to add an event listener to the URLLoader instance and
listen for the complete event, the data will be available in the event
object from the complete event.
Other than that google has a lot about flex/php and the docs show you how to
use the URLLoader and it's dependencies.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Want to build a SWF on the fly when someone requests it
I agree with Paul from a technological basis, but there is a strong business case for doing compilation on the fly and having the deliverable be a single file. People with lower technology aptitude/interest would consider a single file better/simpler and may use that as a significant factor on what to purchase. This is why a lot of these types of products do deliver only one file. A lot also deliver multiple files, so it's by no means a cut and dry case. So if the product marketing allows for a multi-file deliverable/output, then I would agree with Paul. But sometimes your stuck with what the market(ers) want. - Daniel Freiman On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 9:56 AM, Paul Andrews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message - From: kuntamayu [EMAIL PROTECTED] kuntamayu%40gmail.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 2:42 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Want to build a SWF on the fly when someone requests it Hi Folks, There is nothing to hide about it.

The application will be of like Flex Flip Book and it also offering some other features like slideshow, calender view, zoom In zoom Out etc features. I want my end user come to online version and can make his own stuff - - My system will provide him some layout of - client will choose any layout and provide data for that particular layout - clients input data will be like image / video etc. - system will save that page(layout) by page - at the end client will get a swf file to use at his conveniences. Same way I want to offer same functionality with AIR version, too. ~ Paul, is it information ok to understand you what the application ? Yes, BUT you haven't explained why you cannot package the swf with other files. Folks, can you guide me the proper way now ? Avoid building a swf file 'on the fly'. It's going to be very hard to do and prone to all kinds of problems. My instinct is this: If you knew how to do it you would avoid doing it. If you don't know how to do it and have to ask you shouldn't do it. My suggestion for 'the proper way' is not to try and build a single swf. - it's just my opinion, maybe others (and you) disagree.

Re: [flexcoders] foreign keys in value objects
I suppose it depends. Bet you never heard that answer before! IMHO, if you are just displaying data in a DG or something, just use some XML and go for it. If you need to actually interact with the data, use the VOs in a architected model. Suppose your use case is that a user needs to add a department to a employee, code would be something like myEmployeeInstance.department = chosenDepartment where chosenDepartment is a Department instance. Your objects on the server would be modeled this way, model them in your RIA this way too, less work. You may not be doing anythign wrong with your apporach, you know your use case best, eh? YMMV greatly here. It may be that having the departmentID and a lookup table is all you need really. But what about next week when suddenly a employee needs to be in two departments? I used to work with PeopleSoft data a lot, trust me rules get broken all the time :) Or maybe next month the client wants to see more info about the department? I will note that you do not need to query for the department on each employee interation in your server code. Just make your SQL return the all the (flat) data properly and while interating over it create both the Employee instance and the Department instance. DK On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 2:23 PM, Derrick Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: well it has a department ID, not another object. If I'm bringing back 1000 employee records for my datagrid, I already have to loop over that query on the backend to create the array of 1000 VOs. I don't want to have to query to get a Department VO for each iteration as well, when all I need is that name and it already exists in my BO by way of a lookup table. I store these lookups in my business logic and use them in comboboxes and such (this collection populates the Department dropdown on the Employee). usually i only bring them back with ID and Name. I want to use these collections to get the name for an ID at any time I need it. The list of departments is a list of simple objects, I didn't see the need to create VO's for such things. However I'm obviously doing something wrong. I imagined I would have to write renderers for the datagrid and that would be easy enough, but that's not the only place I display data from lookup tables. In Labels, Tab Headers, all sorts of places need to get the department name from the department ID in the employee VO (for one example). Should I just bring the department name back in the employee VO? I'd rather not, it doesn't seem right- but if that's the way to do it I will. D.

I already have a collection of departments (departmentID,departmentName) value objects, I want to be able to at any point find the corresponding department record so I can display the name. Keeping it in the VO seems like a hack though, sounds like it would leave the application open to display sync issues (name in department vo is updated but the customer vo is not). I know I can write a renderer for the datagrids to show the related values from other collections, but there are other display situations too and I don't want this getting out of hand.

[flexcoders] Re: AMFPHP and date/datetime data from MySQL
I struggled with this on another project. Now, this project uses
Cairngorm, value objects, etc., so it's a bit different, but it might
help.
The value object looks as follows (snippet):
public class UserVO implements IValueObject
{
private var _date_added:Date;
private var _last_login:Date;
private var _last_modified:Date;
public function get date_added():Date
{
return _date_added;
}
public function set date_added(value:*):void
{
_date_added = new Date(value);
}
public function get last_login():Date
{
return _last_login;
}
public function set last_login(value:*):void
{
_last_login = new Date(value);
}
public function get last_modified():Date
{
return _last_modified;
}
public function set last_modified(value:*):void
{
_last_modified = new Date(value);
}
public var user_id:Number;
public var account_id:Number;
etc
I use getters/setters for all the date fields using the value that was
passed from the AMFPHP code on the back end.
The MySQL on the backend formats the date as follows (sql):
$sql = DB::getInstance()-prepare(SELECT user_id, account_id,
facility_id, role, email, first, last, title, phone, rca,
date_format(date_added, '%a %b %e %Y %r') as date_added,
date_format(last_modified, '%a %b %e %Y %r') as last_modified
FROM users
WHERE email = :usr);
It basically takes the output and fetches it into the UserVO class
(PHP PDO):
/* fetch results into a UserVo object */
$sql-setFetchMode( PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'UserVO');
and returns the UserVO.
To try and summarize this:
1. I used the date_format in MySQL to format the date similar to how
one creates a date in Flash/Flex.
2. I used this string date field from AMFPHP and create a date
field in Flash/Flex that is used by the application.
I don't think you can pass the MySQL date value straight to Flex and
create a date unless you parse the information in Flex to create the
date field.
It has been awhile, but I seem to remember this working ok.

[flexcoders] large file upload
I have posted a response to this thread (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/60797) and would like to re-ask the question and I am not sure a complete answer was found. first off I understand that Adobe only supports uploads up to 100mb in size, I am attempting to push that 10x further. I am using flex for a multiple file upload, and as far as selection and the actual uploading process everything is working fine. the issue is that when flex/as3 prepares to upload a file, it loads that entire file into RAM. In cases of lower end or base consumer machines that process locks the computer down for sometimes minutes while the file is written to virtual memory. I understand adding more RAM would alleviate the issue, but I can hardly ask my users to add more RAM before using our service. In my research I have found that without AIR, AS3's fileReference and upload mechanisms are somewhat of a black box - probably for security reasons, but I am not sure of my findings. the most viable option I have found would be to split the larger files into smaller sizes and upload each portion, re-assembling it on the server once the session is complete. has anyone found a way to do this in flex - not AIR? Are my assumptions correct or has someone found different conclusions? Thank you, -Nathan

[flexcoders] Re: Want to build a SWF on the fly when someone requests it
I too am considering the automagic generation of a swf using flex/air.

I don't know about much of this but Could you just use LiveCycle and Compile the Application on your server so each client gets a different version of the SWF?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Want to build a SWF on the fly when someone requests it
If you are going the single swf route, here are some of the likely pitfalls: Debugging is going to be a PIA. Not only are you debugging a generated swf, you are debugging the process of generating that swf and trying to build an architecture for all eventualities. If there's a failure in any part of the chain - corrupt uploaded file, fault in the code generated for compiling into the swf, stalled server process, etc. then you will come unstuck in the generation of the swf. The swf generation pipeline is going to involve co-ordination of a number of process - the compiler, loading of assets and use of filespace on the server assembling the swf. There's a lot to go wrong. It's not an easy route. As Daniel says, you may be forced to do this swf generation. I really wonder how many people on the list have attempted such a thing and how they got on. I bet it's a really small number, perhaps even zero.

[flexcoders] Flex SDK 3.1 changes to WebServices breaking existing services...
Hello All,
If have some existing web services that were broken when I upgraded
to the 3.1 flex SDK. I believe it has to do with the SOAP Decoder. I
needed to get the newest SDK because there were other fixes I was
awaiting.
I have an Actionscript type that I'm decoding through the
SchemaTypeRegistry:
public class FooDogVO implements IValueObject
{
public var quantityBasedFunding : Boolean;
public var numRecordsOrdered : int;
public var numRecordsForPurchase : int;
public var invoiceItems : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public var fundedQuantityAccounts : ArrayCollection = new
ArrayCollection();
public var paymentAccounts : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
...
}
I'm calling a WebService that is returning the following SOAP Type,
that is mapped via the SchemaTypeRegister to FooDogVO:
xsd:complexType name=FooDogType
xsd:sequence
xsd:element name=numRecordsOrdered type=xsd:int/
xsd:element name=quantityBasedFunding type=xsd:boolean/
xsd:element maxOccurs=1 minOccurs=0 name=fundedQuantityAccounts
xsd:complexType
xsd:sequence
xsd:element maxOccurs=unbounded minOccurs=0
name=fundedQuantityAccount type=PaymentOptionType/
/xsd:sequence
/xsd:complexType
/xsd:element
xsd:element name=numRecordsForPurchase type=xsd:int/
xsd:element maxOccurs=1 minOccurs=0 name=invoiceItems
xsd:complexType
xsd:sequence
xsd:element maxOccurs=unbounded minOccurs=0
name=invoiceItem type=InvoiceItemType/
/xsd:sequence
/xsd:complexType
/xsd:element
xsd:element name=total type=xsd:double/
xsd:element maxOccurs=1 minOccurs=0 name=paymentAccounts
xsd:complexType
xsd:sequence
xsd:element maxOccurs=unbounded minOccurs=0
name=paymentAccount type=PaymentOptionType/
/xsd:sequence
/xsd:complexType
/xsd:element
xsd:element name=applied type=xsd:double/
xsd:element name=remaining type=xsd:double/
xsd:element name=allowNewCreditCard type=xsd:boolean/
xsd:element maxOccurs=1 minOccurs=0 name=newCreditCard
type=PaymentOptionType/
/xsd:sequence
/xsd:complexType
Before the Flex 3.1 update, The SOAP decoder properly made the
FooDogVO.paymentAccounts property an ArrayCollection of
PaymentOptionTypes.
Now, however, with the Flex 3.1 SDK update, the FoDogVO.paymentAccouns
is an ArrayCollection to an ArrayCollection of PaymentOptionTypes.
It's now FooDogVO.paymentAccounts.[ArrayCollection of PaymentOptionTypes]
So, I'm looking at the list of Bug fixes for Flex SDK 3.1 and I find
the following two bugs:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14321
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14871
But I'm not really sure what's going on with the new Soap Decoder
stuff. It seems like I was inadvertently performing a workaround
before, but what really should be the proper mapping of elements of
completTypes to ArrayCollections?
Thanks for any input on a) what's going on b) how I should properly be
handling this, whether on the Web Service side, or the Flex client.
Naturally, I can always manually remap the properties when the Soap
result completes, keeping my VOs (which the application is coded
against) the same, but ideally, I'd just do the right thing with the
SOAP Decoder/Schema Type registry.
Thanks,
Todd

I agree with Paul here. Debugging would be a pain, however, I wouldn't count this out as impossible. Here's what I would do it: 1. Install mxmlc on my webserver (or offload to another server for scalability) 2. Write template MXML AS documents. 3. Have a set of configuration files, xml, assets etc. 4. Use Ruby or Perl, or maybe even PHP to take the configuration files, assets etc... and generate the code that needs to be compiled from the templates. 5. Run the generated files through mxmlc 6. Now you'd have a swf that you could prompt the user to download or something else. Now that I think about this.

Any direction greatly appreciated!

Here's a condensed version of the code. I should also add, this
is
the same program for all users. The host is only a host because
they
were on first:
1. Initial Host connection:
if(nc.connected){
nsPublish = new NetStream(nc);
nsPublish.attachAudio(Microphone.getMicrophone());
nsPublish.publish(LS,live);
cam = Camera.getCamera();
if (cam != null) {
nsPublish.attachCamera(cam);
pubVideo.attachCamera(cam);
addChild(pubVideo);
}
}
2. Initial User Connection:
if (nc.connected){
pubVideo.source = rtmpPath + / + rtmpSession + /LS;
}
// At this point everyone is seeing what they should.
---
3. User Takes Control:
!--
Now at this point the user will write their request to a remote
shared object. Everyone is subscribed to that object and the host
will read it and know someone wants to take control.
--!
var o:Object = new Object;
o.person_int = person_int; // Id for new host
so_primary.setProperty(so_primary_name,o); // Changes remote
shared
object
pubVideo.source = null; // stop looking at the host's feed
4. Host is Told Change is Requested:
!-- The eventHandler notifies host of change. When the host
determines someone is taking control, they stop publishing video.
--!
private function gotParticipantSO(e:SyncEvent):void {
pubVideo.attachCamera(null);
pubVideo.source=null;
nsPublish.attachCamera(null);
nsPublish.attachAudio(null);
nsPublish.close();
}
!-- Now we wait until nsPublish's status event handler tells us
when
we've unpublished. Then the user is notified they can take over
through the remote shared object
--!
private function networkStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
var o:Object = new Object;
switch (event.info.code.toString() ) {
case NetStream.Unpublish.Success:
so_primary.setProperty(so_primary_name,o); //tell user I've quit
so
they can publish
pubVideo.source = rtmpPath + / + rtmpSession + /LS;
// start looking at the new host (user)
}
5. User Gets Notified They Have Control:
(and not the right picture in their video display!)
!--
This is the same routine as was used when the host initially
connected
--!
if(nc.connected){
nsPublish = new NetStream(nc); //Initializing NetStream
nsPublish.attachAudio(Microphone.getMicrophone());
nsPublish.publish(LS,live);
cam = Camera.getCamera();
if (cam != null) {
nsPublish.attachCamera(cam); // THIS SEEN ON ALL OTHER
CONNECTIONS
pubVideo.attachCamera(cam); // THIS NOT WORKING, STILL PICTURE!?
addChild(pubVideo);
}
}
mx:VideoDisplay width=192 height=142 id=pubVideo
live=true/
So, the stream is really being published as everyone can see and
hear
the new host. It's just on the new host's display they are
seeing a
still picture of the first host. Seems simple, but...

Re: [flexcoders] Scrollbar - add easing to the scrolled content
Ops I miss read your question, you are asking about easing as the user moves the scroll button. You might be able to do some kind of a delta move calculation in relation to the time the user moves from point x to point y. This would mean you need to override the 2 properties I just mentioned. You would also need mouse down and up events recording info. Honestly I don't know if that would work. Out of the box, flex scrollbars in a Container hare hard to animate from a user gesture.

The only real changes (those that aren't ASDoc comments to the core

release).

Hello All,
If have some existing web services that were broken when I upgraded
to the 3.1 flex SDK. I believe it has to do with the SOAP Decoder. I
needed to get the newest SDK because there were other fixes I was
awaiting.
I have an Actionscript type that I'm decoding through the
SchemaTypeRegistry:
public class FooDogVO implements IValueObject
{
public var quantityBasedFunding : Boolean;
public var numRecordsOrdered : int;
public var numRecordsForPurchase : int;
public var invoiceItems : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public var fundedQuantityAccounts : ArrayCollection = new
ArrayCollection();
public var paymentAccounts : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
...
}
I'm calling a WebService that is returning the following SOAP Type,
that is mapped via the SchemaTypeRegister to FooDogVO:
xsd:complexType name=FooDogType
xsd:sequence
xsd:element name=numRecordsOrdered type=xsd:int/
xsd:element name=quantityBasedFunding type=xsd:boolean/
xsd:element maxOccurs=1 minOccurs=0
name=fundedQuantityAccounts
xsd:complexType
xsd:sequence
xsd:element maxOccurs=unbounded minOccurs=0
name=fundedQuantityAccount type=PaymentOptionType/
/xsd:sequence
/xsd:complexType
/xsd:element
xsd:element name=numRecordsForPurchase type=xsd:int/
xsd:element maxOccurs=1 minOccurs=0 name=invoiceItems

xsd:element name=allowNewCreditCard type=xsd:boolean/
xsd:element maxOccurs=1 minOccurs=0 name=newCreditCard
type=PaymentOptionType/
/xsd:sequence
/xsd:complexType
Before the Flex 3.1 update, The SOAP decoder properly made the
FooDogVO.paymentAccounts property an ArrayCollection of
PaymentOptionTypes.
Now, however, with the Flex 3.1 SDK update, the FoDogVO.paymentAccouns
is an ArrayCollection to an ArrayCollection of PaymentOptionTypes.
It's now FooDogVO.paymentAccounts.[ArrayCollection of
PaymentOptionTypes]
So, I'm looking at the list of Bug fixes for Flex SDK 3.1 and I find
the following two bugs:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14321
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14871
But I'm not really sure what's going on with the new Soap Decoder
stuff. It seems like I was inadvertently performing a workaround
before, but what really should be the proper mapping of elements of
completTypes to ArrayCollections?
Thanks for any input on a) what's going on b) how I should properly be
handling this, whether on the Web Service side, or the Flex client.
Naturally, I can always manually remap the properties when the Soap
result completes, keeping my VOs (which the application is coded
against) the same, but ideally, I'd just do the right thing with the
SOAP Decoder/Schema Type registry.
Thanks,

[flexcoders] BubbleSeries effect that leaves a trail
My boss has asked me if I can do a rather challenging series transition. I don't know if it's really even possible. Basically, on a bubble chart, i have an interpolation effect. So the bubbles move across the screen to their new positions. What he asked for is that they leave kind of a temporary trail. Kind of like how in Windows you can set your mouse pointer to leave a trail. Is that really possible the way flex does charting effects? Any tips on how to go about it if it is? -- Jason

[flexcoders] printJob and callLater
I have an application that produces a very large printout. The documentation in the printJob says that you have a 15 second time limit in between calls to PrintJob.addPage (this is what FlexPrintJob.addObject is calling). However, based on my tests it seems you have 60 seconds for the whole thing to happen. I tried to chain my addPage calls with callLaters but that just cause an exception on the second addPage. The documentation says that you can do it in multiple frames, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Am I stuck with making sure my print job get's completely done withing the 60 second timelimit or is there a work around?
[flexcoders] Re: Deploy Flex Application
Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas, but I finally got it to work. What I did was I created a new project in Flex Builder that actually was connected to the server I wanted to deploy on (which the reason I don't develop this way is that fact that is takes forever for everything to load). Once I had the project created I copied all the code and everything I needed into the new project and built the project. And now I have a working flex application on my ColdFusion server.

I am using flex for a multiple file upload, and as far as selection and the actual uploading process everything is working fine. the issue is that when flex/as3 prepares to upload a file, it loads that entire file into RAM. In cases of lower end or base consumer machines that process locks the computer down for sometimes minutes while the file is written to virtual memory. I understand adding more RAM would alleviate the issue, but I can hardly ask my users to add more RAM before using our service. In my research I have found that without AIR, AS3's fileReference and upload mechanisms are somewhat of a black box - probably for security reasons, but I am not sure of my findings. the most viable option I have found would be to split the larger files into smaller sizes and upload each portion, re-assembling it on the server once the session is complete. has anyone found a way to do this in flex - not AIR? Are my assumptions correct or has someone found different conclusions? Thank you, -Nathan

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Want to build a SWF on the fly when someone requests it
Nate, You'll also need a Flex front end to interact with the user - so they can choose appropriate options and specify assets that will be used, then upload assets, etc. The front end would then instruct the server side to build the swf from the assets and configuration that the user has selected in the Flex front-end. Effectively the Flex front end would be responsible for assembling stage 3 of your pipeline and would initiate stage 4.

Debugging would be a pain, however, I wouldn't count this out as impossible. Here's what I would do it: 1.. Install mxmlc on my webserver (or offload to another server for scalability) 2.. Write template MXML AS documents. 3.. Have a set of configuration files, xml, assets etc. 4.. Use Ruby or Perl, or maybe even PHP to take the configuration files, assets etc... and generate the code that needs to be compiled from the templates. 5.. Run the generated files through mxmlc 6.. Now you'd have a swf that you could prompt the user to download or something else. Now that I think about this. It seems a lot like what Animoto does, except they're generating video instead on a swf, but it's essentially the same type of system. hope this helps, Nate On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 8:49 AM, Paul Andrews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you are going the single swf route, here are some of the likely pitfalls: Debugging is going to be a PIA.

The swf generation pipeline is going to involve co-ordination of a number of process - the compiler, loading of assets and use of filespace on the server assembling the swf. There's a lot to go wrong. It's not an easy route. As Daniel says, you may be forced to do this swf generation.

This is why a lot of these types of products do deliver only one file. A lot also deliver multiple files, so it's by no means a cut and dry case.

Re: [flexcoders] Need Help and Guidance desperately
Hi Alex I am not sure i understand that. Basically I am dragging images from one container which is HBOX( because i need scroller facility too) and dropping them in another container which is Tile. The user should be able to resize the dropped images as shown in the layout and the rest of the images have to adjust in terms of size as well as location to let resized image to get accommodated. I have seen some examples of FlowBox and one as shown in the following link: http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/DragTile/DragDrop.html but my problem coems becasue user should be able to resize the images in the container. As I have mentioned this is the first project of this kind for me I am not sure which way to go. Anyway coming to your question (mini-window using FlexMDI) it can be the any way as long as it is solving the purpose of my requirement.

[flexcoders] Detecting new flash version without a new browser instance
The flash installer (playerProductInstall.swf) tries to reload the container page in a new Explorer window when the installation is complete. Today, I found out why they do this, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a work-around... My first idea was this: If a new version is required, pop up a new window containing the installer. Then, from the container, poll the flash version (DetectFlashVer()) until it's updated. This didn't work. DetectFlashVer() kept returning the same old version number. So just to see how bad the situation was, I refreshed the containing HTML page after Flash 9 was installed. And lo -- the installer page popped right back up. So even after a refresh, it can't detect the flash version correctly. Is there any way to fix this? This page sometimes shows up in an embedded MSHTML control, so it's not always possible to reload the page in a new window.

Re: [flexcoders] Need Help and Guidance desperately
His layout is really difficult. Basically he wants images to be smart enough to size any which way to fit around each other. If you take a look at the word doc he attached the second mockup shows the problem. Basically he doesn't want to restrict to rows or columns, and wants items to be able to span both, which is hard to do. I honestly don't have an answer for how to do that layout. If you can change the requirement to let you use either columns or rows then you're fine.

I have seen some examples of FlowBox and one as shown in the following link: http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/DragTile/DragDrop.html but my problem coems becasue user should be able to resize the images in the container. As I have mentioned this is the first project of this kind for me I am not sure which way to go. Anyway coming to your question (mini-window using FlexMDI) it can be the any way as long as it is solving the purpose of my requirement.

RE: [flexcoders] Need Help and Guidance desperately
OK, I haven't really been following closely. If he's desperate, maybe he'll be more restrictive so he can get Flow to work.

Basically he wants images to be smart enough to size any which way to fit around each other. If you take a look at the word doc he attached the second mockup shows the problem. Basically he doesn't want to restrict to rows or columns, and wants items to be able to span both, which is hard to do. I honestly don't have an answer for how to do that layout. If you can change the requirement to let you use either columns or rows then you're fine.
