[flexcoders] Re: Framework RSLs -- Any Reason Not To Use? Any Problems Related to Their Use?
Hi Matt, I've got unconfirmed problem with RSLs - the loader *sometimes* is stuck while loading the libraries. I am unable to create an isolated test-case, but this thing popped in immediately after I converted the project into the RSLs. The problem seems to be highly discoverable if you run the app on the local machine, and appears rarely if you serve the app from a remote web server. And nothing else besides that :) Cheers, Dmitri. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I haven't heard of any :-) On 9/8/08 1:26 PM, greg h [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I am on a team that is pushing into production a public facing Flex application on the Internet.

[flexcoders] Strange Image Behavior
Hi all. I'm experiencing some serious strangeness with a few .png images in my project. They work perfectly in debug mode, and they also work in IE7 on the live server, but on the live server in Firefox 3 they won't load. This is especially strange because I have many OTHER .png and other types of image files in the project that are working just fine. Any ideas? I tried substituting a couple .gif files instead but had the same problem. Thanks. -Dane
Re: [flexcoders] Re: FlexBuilder debugging kills ITunes
It's funny... I honestly thought this was a ITunes only issue because I was never seeing any visible performance issues otherwise as I was debugging in Safari. Then I switched and tried debugging in Firefox... debugging in that (as Doug points out) absolutely destroyed my machine and it took me about 3 mins to force a kill on Firefox once it occurred. So, I guess I'll go back to Safari and put up with skipping music as opposed to the alternative :-) Going to look more into Shaun's suggestion of renice maybe... And I guess the difference between 2 cores on macbook pro and 8 on the Mac Pro is why I never see this issue there.

Hello, The result should be an HorizontalList like component (with all features; dataProvider, Layout, Effects Events...) but does not override it's items width property. Problem is that any component extending TileBase is setting it's items width and height and that makes it impossible for the item to set it's width. I have been looking into ListBase, TileBase and tried to override the measure function on the itemRenderer (which does not seem like a good idea).. Before I'm going to implement a new component from scratch (thought about using OpenFlux).. anyone got some ideas ?

Hi Amy,
That's actually just a canned Exception. It's in the resource manager bundle
as a UIComponent since that is what is under ViewStack. The error says the
dataProvider must be of type;
- String
- ViewStack

That is not really a user friendly message for sure, doesn't even make sense
from where it is called.

GroupingCollection is a HierarchicalData - EventDispatcher, so navbar will

RE: [flexcoders] Re: LCDS: Debug RTMP Traffic
Yeah, it looks like somehow you are getting a DataService trying to use a DirectHTTPChannel.That only works for for HTTPService, and WebService. DataService needs a channelSet which supports AMF (AMFChannel, or RTMPChannel). I'm confused how you are getting into this situation though... those get created on the client via the endpoint property on some services or you can define one explicitly in ActionScript or MXML.Can you show how this tasks destination is getting defined in ActionScript? How is its channelSet specified - on the client via the channelSet property or on the server? If it is on the server, make sure you are compiling against the services-config.mxml file (it is a project/compiler option).

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid - how on earth do I do something useful with it?
Hey guys, I'm trying to tackle what seems to me to be a pretty trivial problem, but the amount of documentation available for ADG is, well, not so good :) Here's what I want to do (I don't want folders, or expanding-collapsing rows, or little icons or any of that nonsense): ++ | *Category1*| +-+--+ | Item1 | 7| +-+--+ | Item2 | 3| +-+--+ | | *10* | +-+--+ | *Category2*| +-+--+ | Item3 | 2| +-+--+ | Item4 | 3| +-+--+ | | *5* | ++ * around bold summary rows * Can it be done? How on earth do I do it? It seems there's no way to use summary rows without flattening your data and using GroupingCollection. I can't figure out how to make a grouping renderer span multiple columns without somehow cancelling the rendering of all its child nodes. The examples in the documentation are woefully simple and inadequate, and the google only wants to point me towards other people with problems, rather than people with answers :'( Any help, or pointers to some good docs or blogs about this stuff much appreciated! -Josh -- Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls.

Hi Paul,
if [Bindable] works just for initialization, then I think it is loosing it's
existence altogether.
At least I think it this way.. that [Bindable] changes with every change
that it is bind to. And not just it's initialization.
Waiting for expert comments..

Re: [flexcoders] [Bindable] is not getting updated..
I get what you're saying, but you're coming at it from the wrong angle is
all.
When you have this:
[Bindable]
public var myvar = someFunction();
You're making it so that *other code* will be called when myvar changes.
You're also giving it the initial value of someFunction(). It won't escape
back into the code for someFunction() and alter it so it becomes bindable.
We need to have a difference betwen X = Y and create a binding from X to
Y, otherwise the entire virtual machine would slow to a crawl.
If you want to create a binding from actionscript from
sourceObject.someValue to myValue you do this:
BindingUtils.bindProperty(this, myValue, sourceObject, someValue);
Then whenever sourceObject tells the word that someValue has been updated
(with events), Flex will set the myValue field on your object.

[flexcoders] Re: LCDS: Debug RTMP Traffic
Our endpoints are created in the services-config.xml, and the destinations for DataServices are configured in data-management-config.xml. the RTMP endpoint config is as such: channel-definition id=my-rtmp class=mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel endpoint url=rtmp://localhost:2039 class=flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint/ properties idle-timeout-minutes30/idle-timeout-minutes /properties /channel-definition A DataService destination looks like: default-channels channel ref=my-rtmp/ /default-channels destination id=tasks adapter ref=java-adapter / properties use-transactionstrue/use-transactions sourceblah.blah.blah.TasksDelegate/source scopeapplication/scope cache-itemsfalse/cache-items metadata identity property=id/ /metadata network subscription-timeout-minutes0/subscription-timeout-minutes paging enabled=false/ /network /properties /destination The two destinations are identical, except for the source class. I am using the compiler argument [-services C:\workspace\flex\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml], which points to the correct services-config.xml file. The task DataService is created in ActionScript like so: // Create a datasource __ds = new DataService(tasks); __ds.cacheID = ExpTasks; __ds.autoSaveCache = false; __ds.autoConnect = false; __ds.autoCommit = false; __ds.addEventListener(DataConflictEvent.CONFLICT, onDataConflict, false, 0, true); __ds.addEventListener(DataServiceFaultEvent.FAULT, onDataServiceFault, false, 0, true); // Connect to datasource connect(); The connect() method just registers some event listeners and then calls __ds.connect(). The whole point to this is that we intend to replace our 30 Java delegates and 130+ remote methods with DataServices so our application can run in offline mode (assuming there's cached data). If there's a better way to do this, I'm open to suggestions.

Is it a right way to do the following:

Now, if I use xyz in my code then it is not updated. Where as if i use
'MyModel.getInstance().someVar' then I am getting perfect result.
For Ex:
mx:Label text={xyz}/ // view not updated with changes in model.
mx:Label text={MyModel.getInstance().someVar}/ //view updated everytime
with changes in model.
So, I didn't get the difference between two above logically.
Please explain the case as above. Thanks.

That's actually just a canned Exception. It's in the resource

That is not really a user friendly message for sure, doesn't even
make sense
from where it is called.
# NavBar

Yes, it looks like I have two problems. The first is you can't just
treat a GroupingCollection like other collections for flat
components...you have to call methods on it. The second is that it
looks like my groupingFunction on the GroupingField is not getting
called even when I refresh the GroupingCollection. I will have to
step through things and see why not. Sigh
Thanks :)
Re: [flexcoders] [Bindable] is not getting updated..
Hi,
Instead of this use
BindingUitls.bindProperty(this,xyz,MyModel,getInstance().someVar);
This statement is called in the creationComplete of the component.
Cheers it will work..

Josh,
Is it a right way to do the following:
[Bindable] private var xyz:String = MyModel.getInstance ().someVar;
Now, if I use xyz in my code then it is not updated. Where as if i use
'MyModel.getInstanc e().someVar' then I am getting perfect result.
For Ex:
mx:Label text={xyz} / // view not updated with changes in model.
mx:Label text={MyModel. getInstance( ).someVar} / //view updated everytime
with changes in model.
So, I didn't get the difference between two above logically.
Please explain the case as above. Thanks.

When you have this:
[Bindable]
public var myvar = someFunction( );
You're making it so that *other code* will be called when myvar changes.
You're also giving it the initial value of someFunction( ). It won't
escape
back into the code for someFunction( ) and alter it so it becomes bindable.
We need to have a difference betwen X = Y and create a binding from X
to
Y, otherwise the entire virtual machine would slow to a crawl.
If you want to create a binding from actionscript from
sourceObject. someValue to myValue you do this:
BindingUtils. bindProperty( this, myValue, sourceObject, someValue) ;
Then whenever sourceObject tells the word that someValue has been
updated
(with events), Flex will set the myValue field on your object.

Hii Guyz,
Although it's very strange (even for me), but this [Bindable] tag is
not
working for me.
I am following the cairngorm structure and storing a variable in
Model.
Now, in one of my code file, if I 'll create a local bindable
variable,
that
binds to model.. then it is not being updated with the changes in
model.
[Bindable] private var xyz:String = MyModel.getInstance ().someVar;
Now, if I use xyz in my code then it is not updated. Where as if i use
'MyModel.getInstanc e().someVar' then I am getting perfect result.
Any thoughts here...
Yes, some thoughts.
[Bindable] private var xyz:String = MyModel.getInstance ()..someVar
Means that xyz is bindable and is initialised with the value of
MyModel.getInstance ().someVar .
It does not mean that xyz changes with the value of
MyModel.getInstance ().someVar .
If you wish to have a binding in an mxml file to
MyModel.getInstance ().someVar then use {MyModel.getInstan ce().someVar
},
alternatively in actionscript you'll have to specifically set up a
binding
for it.
Paul

Manu.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: LCDS: Debug RTMP Traffic
Can you check if it works if you comment out the cacheId setting?Since the offline feature also persists configuration, it might be that it has cached something invalid. If it works, you might try removing your shared objects (for flash) and sql-lite database files (for air) If you could also send me the entire flashlog.txt - (probably offlist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] since it is can be big) I'll see if I can track down what is going on. I thing that is helpful to debug config problems is to look at the value of the variable mx.messaging.config.ServletConfig.xml - it is the information which is compiled into the SWF. In this case, I'd expect to see the default channels for the RTMP channel and then the destination info. The destination info looked correct from the snippet you sent previously so it is the default channels part that is messed up.

The whole point to this is that we intend to replace our 30 Java delegates and 130+ remote methods with DataServices so our application can run in offline mode (assuming there's cached data).

[flexcoders] Re: Preventing cutpaste in Flex3 application
Hi Paul, Here is the example: there is a text input field where you can enter only digits and a dot sign, nothing else. If you use restrict=0123456789. property - it's fine until user copy-pastes the string from somewhere else. If you allow c-n-p you have to do complex validation and point user to the invalid input. If you have 20 text input fields - this solution just sucks. All this Flex error tooltips and dumb error message boxes (20 errors - 20 popups) are bad, very bad. So, the simplest and just working solution is to disable copy- paste. This is probably what is called Apple solution - do not allow users to think too much, if it is not allowed - they don't need it, anyway.(c) And surprisingly, this works quite well. And as I said before, if TextInput control has a restrict property, it should be able to disable copy-pasting, otherwise it is useless, and sometimes dangerous, as not so many developers realise that setting this property does not protect them from the invalid input.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Preventing cutpaste in Flex3 application
I have to say that the solution to this problem is data validation, or simply fixing what sure looks like a bug in TextInput. You can't disable something as good for users as copy and paste simply because as a coder you're too lazy to validate the input. Well, you can, but your customers will notice, and your app will feel weird to them and they won't like it so much. -Josh On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 1:52 PM, Dmitri Girski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Paul, Here is the example: there is a text input field where you can enter only digits and a dot sign, nothing else.
