[flexcoders] die hard 4 glass like interfaces

[stinasius]

hi guys this is gonna sound very ridiculous but just asking, does
anyone know how to design nice glassy interfaces like the one in the
die hard 4 movie eg a datagrid with a glassy feel and no grid rows and
columns showing. 

[flexcoders] Re: LCDS: Debug RTMP Traffic

[Geoffrey]

As it turns out, there appears to be a bug in DataServices.  To be more 
specific, the 
DataStore object that sits between the DataService and the server does not 
dispatch a 
result or fault event when the second DataService connects via the 
DataService.connect() 
call.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Obtaining name of method

[Tracy Spratt]

But what good would it be to have fifty lines in your trace file that
said:

"function_name"

"function_name"

"function_name"

Etc?

 

Ohhh, you mean type in the function name in every trace statement?
Perhaps you are missing the point here.

[flexcoders] AS3 - single-fire event listener

[Matt Bennett]

Hi all,

In certain javascript libraries I've used previously, there is the
ability to create a single-fire event listener -- one that
automatically removes itself as a listener immidiately after it has
executed.

I'd really like a generic solution that just involved an overridden
'addEventListener' function and an optional 'single-fire' argument.
Hopefully someone out there has solved this problem already.

In the mean time however, I tried a more simplistic approach - calling
removeEventListener inside my listener function, so it runs once and
then removes itself. I can't get this approach to work for anonymous
functions though, because I don't know how the anonymous function can
refer to itself. There doesn't appear to be anything useful in the
Event object passed to the listener, the 'this' keyword refers to
something else, and I don't know how to alter the scope with which the
listener function is called.

Does anyone have a simple way to acheive this?

Many thanks,
Matt.

RE: RE[flexcoders] S: LCDS - how can I improve the createItem function?

[Jeff Vroom]

So if you have all 1000 in the same batch, it should essentially just be 
processing 1000 insert statements.  While that is happening, your "commit" call 
is still outstanding - i.e. it has not yet received the response back.You 
could pretty easily add a result handler for that commit operation so your user 
knows when it is finished (i.e. set up a busy cursor when the commit occurs and 
remove it when the commit result/fault comes back).

I guess the other question is whether there is a more efficient way to insert 
all of those 1000 items.   LC DS will add some overhead onto that process of 
creating those items but I would not think it would be a ton more than just the 
overhead of running 1000 insert statements.

It would certainly be possible to create all 1000 items on the server using a 
remote object call, then use the DataServiceTransaction.createItem call to 
notify the data management system (and the flex client) that they are all 
there.   It's not clear though that this would be more efficient.

Note too that the LC DS debug logging is pretty expensive so if you turn that 
off, it will speed up the server a lot.

Jeff

I already did that. But the problem is the same : I have LCDS which make

In fact in my application I have my 1000 items in a datagrid, but when I

[flexcoders] Re: TabNavigator - have to click twice on tab to display page

[Hyder]

It's definitely history management.

Donald, do this... in your project settings, under flex compiler, 
uncheck 'Enable integration with browser navigation"... clean and 
rebuild your project. It fixed it for me... but when I re-enable 
integration with browser navigation, the issue re-appears.

Try it and see what you get.

[flexcoders] Re: passing complex objects through LocalConnection

[wesley.petrowski]

*sigh* Another blank message. Rich Text Editor doesn't like me today, 
it seems.

What I had written was:
Are you making a registerClassAlias call for each complex object? 
That's the only thing I can think of. I've got a similar situation 
with nested complex objects, and while I'm using SharedObject rather 
than LocalConnection, the docs say the encoding format is the same.

Are you saying you are only having trouble getting it to work within 
Flex, or you don't know about $echo?

If you could be more specific about what you're having trouble with, we

Ahh, thank you!  That does retain the class definition.  

 

But it doesn't seem to have included all the nested complex objects - I

[flexcoders] Re: Error when PopupManager hides a popup in the middle of an effect

[ozziegt]

The problem seems to be related to the sequence. If I remove the
sequence effect, I can't reproduce the bug anymore.

The bug happens when I remove the popup but add back it before the
sequence effect has time to complete.

My workaround for now is to just bypass the popupmanager, break up the
sequence into two parts, keep the popup on my stage at all times and
use the showEffect and hideEffect properties instead (FYI: using a
sequence in hideEffect also throws an error). For my particular
situation and use of this popup, it works out pretty well without any
additional code.

If a solution is ever found for this problem, I might go back to using
the popupmanager.

[flexcoders] passing complex objects through LocalConnection

[Jonathon Stierman]

Has anyone been able to make this work?  I have a sample up and running
(and receiving the callbacks), but my arguments come back only as Object
class instances.  

 

Using an args[0] is MyComplexObject returns false always, and attempting
to convert them to their proper type also fails.  I can however, convert
the argument into a String with no issues.   

 

Is the LocalConnection only for String data, or can it support complex
object types?  I have ensured that both SWF files have the complex type
imported, and there is an instance of it existing - so the class ought
to be available to the SWF, correct?

 

Worst case scenario, I can serialize my object into a String and parse
it back out... but I would very much prefer a clean object transfer.

[flexcoders] Re: dataProvider.editField not posting change to DataGrid?

Hello Tracy,

Thanks for your suggestions. I am now using the event.result directly
and got rid of the refresh and invalidateProperties calls.

However, it still isn't working and "MONKEY" still isn't showing up in
fund field. Hoping to do a lot of this type of ActionScript so getting
it sorted out will be very helpful.

RE: [flexcoders] dataProvider.editField not posting change to DataGrid?

[Tracy Spratt]

editField should handle the event dispatching fine and you should not
need to use the invalidation manually.  Have you tried it without that?

 

Refresh is re-applying the filter, are you sure you want that?

 

Also, though I doubt is it related, do not use lastResult in an AS
function.  It is intended for binding expressions only.  It might work
usually, but its value could be changed by framework when you do not
expect.  Instead do::

fundingCollection=ArrayCollection(event.result.fundinglist.funding) ;

Hi,
That is an interesting error. Basically it's telling you that the tween for

two places that could happen;

end()

and onTweenEnd()

Can you get a simple example to reproduce this in mxml? ... Quick little

[flexcoders] Error when PopupManager hides a popup in the middle of an effect

[ozziegt]

I have a popup with an addedEffect defined on it. It works great when
I call PopUpManager.addPopup, but if I click anyhere while the effect
is in progress, looks like the tweening engine barfs since the popup
is gone.

Any suggestions on what I can to do prevent this from happening?


Here is the top of the stacktrace:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.

[flexcoders] Re: TabNavigator - have to click twice on tab to display page

[Tim Hoff]

Something must be going on in your code that is setting the
selectedChild or selectedIndex.  As Tracy suggests, post some code and
maybe someone can help.  Another approach is to create a new test
application and build up the components from scratch; to see where the
problem is occuring.   More than likely an event (probably change) is
causing some code to execute that is setting the index.

When I hit the 2nd tab, it flickers and the 1st tab is displayed 
(still since I started on the first tab).  I hit it again and he 
contents of the 2nd tab are displayed

RE: [flexcoders] Re: TabNavigator - have to click twice on tab to display page

[Tracy Spratt]

This is definitely not normal behavior, so you must have something
unusual going on.  We haven't seen any code so we are just stabbing in
the dark.

 

Rip out everything until it works, start adding it back til it breaks.

So, when you click the 2nd tab, does the 2nd tab remain selected, or
does it switch back to the first tab? If it stays on the 2nd tab, are
you still seeing the content from the first tab, or is it just blank;
until you click the 2nd tab again?

Also, your myData variable does not have a type declared.  You should
always type your vars.

RE: [flexcoders] Quick reference to Application.application

[Tracy Spratt]

And if your conponents are not intended for use in other apps, you can
type the variable as the application name and get type checking and code
hinting.

private var _appMain:MyMainAppMxmlFileName = Application.application;

Quick and dirty - in your code declare: var a:Object = 
Application.application;

It won't make your code very readable and there are better ways to go
about 
things - for example using a singleton class to hold 'global' variables 
rather than refering to variables declared in the main application.

[flexcoders] Re: Programming 101: event target

[gwangdesign]

Hi Matt and all,

Thanks for the clarification. I know you guys are busy;)

The DOM thing, "target" and "currentTarget" make sense. If a button or
its parent container registers interest in a mouse click event, either
the button or its container becomes "currentTarget" while the button
is the "target" at bubbling propagation.

In Flex/Flash, things like SystemManager (which is instantiated by
Application and which inherits from flash.display.MovieClip) can also
register its interest in any UIComponent(not stylized skins that are
drawn by the drawing API), which as Matt says will "broadcast" the
event(i.e., call the event handlers). In this case, "currentTarget" is
the systemManager and "target" can be the visual stuff or the loader
of the visual content "under" the stage who is the source of the event.

is right on.  When you think of the MouseEvent CLICK, the target is
the actual display object that was clicked on.  CurrentTarget is
useful when you're dealing with event propagation, it reflects the
object that is currently broadcasting the event.  For example, if a
button was clicked on but that button lives within a container, the
container may dispatch the CLICK event via bubbling.  Basically
indicating that something within it was clicked. In that case,
currentTarget is the container, target is the original button that was
clicked.

filename..

Anyone know how to do this?


Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: TabNavigator - have to click twice on tab to display page

[Tim Hoff]

So, when you click the 2nd tab, does the 2nd tab remain selected, or
does it switch back to the first tab?  If it stays on the 2nd tab, are
you still seeing the content from the first tab, or is it just blank;
until you click the 2nd tab again?

Re: [flexcoders] compc: locking assertion failure

[Maciek Sakrejda]

So after some research, this seems to be a Sun JRE problem:

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373

Any idea whether the assertion failure really is harmless, as it seems
to be? This seems to affect a number of Java programs for some people,
and some of them crash when the assertion is triggered. Is it safe to
just ignore it?

Thanks,

Cool, one other thing to check would be if you are manually setting the
selectedIndex of the TabNavigator anywhere.  Just guessing though;
without seeing the code.

[flexcoders] Re: Variable width column to fill a variable width datagrid?

[Tim Hoff]

Hmm, not sure what to tell you.  The example below works for me; the
third column takes up the rest of the available space.  The only thing
that I can think of, is that perhaps the width of the DataGrid is
turning out to be smaller than the sum of the fixed column widths.  In
this case the columns would all get resized in proportion.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Framework - To cache or not to cache? - Specific case

[Steve Mathews]

First off I don't understand this line
"I suspect that the app would need to be marked as a
 trusted file using Flash Player Settings Manager, otherwise it would
 result in Security Sandbox violation."

Secondly you seem to be listing configuration (i.e. work on your side) as
a negative. In my opinion you should only consider your user's point of view
to make the determination.

Your calculations are pretty accurate as to the size differences and you
seem to have a good understanding of the possible scenarios that users will
face when visiting your app. I would say that in this case you should BOTH
look into modularizing your app and implementing the framework RSLs. This
will give users who have the framework a better experience, and by using
modules give all your users a better experience. Setting up the framework
caching is so simple that it seems odd that you would not do it for an
application of this size.

 First of all, you should be talking about an application (not an swf).
 Now, the SIX pages, I took it as SIX views.

 There are many ways to do that. One of them is:
 
 
 private function return nextPrevView():void{
 if(buttonClicked == prev){
 viewstack.selectedIndex =
 viewstack.selectedIndex(viewstack.selectedIndex-1);
 }
 if(buttonClicked == next){
 viewstack.selectedIndex =
 viewstack.selectedIndex(viewstack.selectedIndex+1);
 }

 }
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 It's just an outlook of an application.
 Get it worked by urself.

[flexcoders] Flex Builder 3 XMLDecoding problem

[Varun Shetty]

Hi,

I recently tried the flex builder 3 'Import web service' feature to generate
web service proxy classes that return strongly typed objects.

The wizard worked well for simple object types, but when used with complex
types it broke down. After investigating, I found that the problem was in
the XMLDecoder class.
and it wasn't able to decode complex types appropriately.

Searching online showed up the following Flex Bug reports filed.

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-12253

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14800

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-11025

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-12319

has anyone encountered this and found any appropriate solution to this. any
clue when this would be fixed.
I am having this problem with Flex builder 3 and Oracle JAXB web services.

regards,
Varun Shetty

Re: [flexcoders] getItemAt *removes* item from ArrayCollection?

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi,
Sounds like you need to check your bindings.

I don't think there is any way possible that the ArrayCollection can become
intelligent and start deleting items without being told to by some outside
force. ;-)

Sounds like it has to do with the;

flightToMarkAsRemoved.flightHasBeenClearedByUser=true

That would be my guess.

In Flash 10.

You have no access to the content of a FileReference object or item  
in any version of Flash earlier than v10. That's a resounding answer  
of "no".


There may be ways to hack the HTTPHeader information to include  
additional content information when the FileReference is uploaded.  
Otherwise, you'll need to send that data separately to the server.

[flexcoders] getItemAt *removes* item from ArrayCollection?

[djbrown_rotonews]

has anyone run into this problem? The code below is *removing* the 
item from the ArrayCollection when I modify that one attribute on 
the object. And the size of my ArrayCollection isn't increasing 
after the call to addItem() either. the call to getItemIndex is 
working just fine, but the object is removed and the size of the 
ArrayCollection is decreased by 1 when the 
flightToMarkAsRemoved.flightHasBeenClearedByUser=true;
line is reached. 

any ideas?


var flightToMarkAsRemoved:SOCAdvisorVO = event.flightToErase;

[flexcoders] Re: Variable width column to fill a variable width datagrid?

[ozziegt]

That is what I have tried, and it is not working. The documentation
says that a datagridcolumn has a default width of 100. I haven't been
able to find anything in the flex documentation to mention the
possibility of a variable width column.

Re: [flexcoders] e4x filtering of xml nodes...

[Daniel Freiman]

It looks like your provided example should work.  However, the expression
will fail if there is an "MetaData" node without any "itemid" node child, so
if your example is not your actual test/use case, then this might be your
problem.  If it is, solve it by using this:

myData.Entry..MetaData.(elements("itemid") == 1234)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Books - Detailed/Nitty-Gritty

[Chet Haase]

Anyways, I guess coming from Swing there are books (such as Filthy
Rich Clients, one author Chet Haase works for Adobe now) which cover

Yeah, I heard that rumor as well...

lots of neat tricks, details, expert type info. That's what I was
sort of wondering about.

To be fair, Filthy Rich Clients was written when Java/Swing/2D was pretty 
mature. At the time, the only other Swing books available just covered the 
basics. Flex is newer, so maybe the advanced books or books covering specific 
niche topics about Flex aren't there yet because most people are still getting 
into it. On the other hand, it's a very approachable platform, so it doesn't 
take too much of an intro to get you to a place where you can dive in.

It is worth checking out some of the blogs and learning sites out there; it's 
not as easy as having it collected in a table of contents, but there's some 
nice deep topics covered out there, both for AS3/Flash development in general 
and for Flex in particular.

Re: [flexcoders] SimpleXmlEncoder SimpleXmlDecoder problem

[bpjadam]

Andres,

Your problems are actually two-fold, I believe.

The first is that SimpleXMLEncoder and SimpleXMLDecoder do not appear to be
symmetrical with Array properties. 

If your object has a property 

  var arrayProperty:Array

The SimpleXMLEncoder writes


  val1
  val2


But when SimpleXMLDecoder decodes this XML it produces an object with

  arrayProperty = { item: [val1, val2] }

This is becase SimpleXMLDecoder tries to be "smart" and sees the two 
tags and decides that the implied array you want is actually a property
called "item".

I regard this as a bug in Flex 3 - encode/decode should be symmetrical.

Your second problem is that you can't just cast an arbitrary object to being
of a specified type. Whether the fields line up or not doesn't matter: you
simply can't cast this way.

[flexcoders] catching uncaught exception

[Stefaan_Nachtergaele]

Java has a method on the thread class:
setUncaughtExceptionHandler(Handler). This way you can ensure that all
 exception will be handled. Does  flex have something like this?

This is what I'm trying to achieve: People runnning my app will not
have the debug version of flash running.  When an error occurs I want
to be able to catch it and show it to the user so he can copy paste it
into an email and send it to me. I have it rigged so I can
enable/disable this feature per user. 

I understand that surrounding everything with try/catch but that is
not the answer I'm looking for. Anyone?
Thanks,

Use a static array in the item renderer. Keep information 
in the item renderer only, isolated from other components.

// declare static array
private static var expandedItems:Array = new Array();

// Setter function of item renderer where we set the data object
// Set the size quickly and directly.
if(expandedItems.indexOf(data)>-1){
   // show item in expanded state without any effect
} else {
   // show item in contract size
}


// Expand and collapse the item renderer on double click
// play the expand or contract effect and remember
// the size in a static array:

private function setRowSize():void{
var arrayPosition:int = expandedItems.indexOf(data);
if( arrayPosition>-1 ){
contract.end();
contract.play();
expandedItems.splice(arrayPosition,1);
} else {
expand.end();
expand.play();
expandedItems.push( data );
}
} 

The above should provide the basis and there is another interesting
elaboration, with mxml source available on flexcomguru which should
get you started.

List extends ListBase. Extend List, override the findKey function as 
you need. Then modify the code for ScrollableComboBox(below) to use your 
List subclass.

http://javatoflex.blogspot.com/2008/09/scrollablecombobox.html


Change the line:

   public var clazz:Class = mx.controls.List;

to reference your own subclass of List.

   public var clazz:Class = com.foo.controls.MyList;

All 3d engines are written in Actionscript. AS3 is AS3, doesn't

Both Away3D and PV3D engines work perfectly fine with Flex. The  
difference is that in Flex Builder, you have to create a UIComponent  
class to add the scene to your view. Everything else is the same.


The Flex framework is AS3, as is any code written in the Flash IDE  
(and published to Flash 9). Flex Builder is just a way of compiling  
SWF files from writing a combination of MXML and AS3 (among some  
other things).


The end result is still the same - actionscript code that executes in  
the Flash Player.


PV3D and Away3D are easy to use in Flex Builder, btw.

Quick and dirty -  in your code declare:   var a:Object = 
Application.application;

It won't make your code very readable and there are better ways to go about 
things - for example using a singleton class to hold 'global' variables 
rather than refering to variables declared in the main application.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Books - Detailed/Nitty-Gritty

[cwicky99]

Thanks (i think) for the feedback.  I realize Flex is more than  RAD
tool, in fact I have hardly used the GUI builder.  My background was
Java/Swing -> python -> C# -> Flex, based on the projects I was
working on.

Anyways, I guess coming from Swing there are books (such as Filthy
Rich Clients, one author Chet Haase works for Adobe now) which cover
lots of neat tricks, details, expert type info.  That's what I was
sort of wondering about.

[flexcoders] Quick reference to Application.application

[itdanny2002]

I have main application and many modules.
While I do the coding in modules, I need
to Application.application for refering 
to variable and functions in Main application.
All works but I want to type shorted name.
Any methods ? 

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Books - Detailed/Nitty-Gritty

[Samuel Colak]

This strikes me a bit odd - what do people think Flex is ? It is  
simply a tool
for AS3 development - or do people think this is a RAD tool like VB  
where everything

is just point and click with no code ?

Craig - unfortunately the actual best book is the Adobe online  
tutorials and API
reference - its not terribly difficult to pick up once you have an  
understanding or
background in C# or Java. If you are new to the development scene,  
then obviously

flex will be rather more "daunting" - but it is worthwhile.

Is there anything out there that covers all the details (you know

My point was, in the docs there is a reference to a toString() method
as being inherited from Object.
Even if it is not reasonable to use toString(), it is in the docs as
being available.
Either it should be removed or an example of how to use the class
should be provided.

Re: [flexcoders] FocusManager seems unhappy

[Guy Morton]

I have a sinking feeling that this is what I'm seeing:

http://thanksmister.com/?p=64

If so, it's caused by the UMap component.

This is not good.

I'm guessing this may be a terminal issue. Anyone know if there is a  
way to work around it?

So, it seems it only occurs if I click in an input THEN tab.

[flexcoders] x,y position of inner container relative to app?

[Mic]

I need to constrain a popup to a container embedded deep within
canvases and modules. A popup belongs to SystemManager and its
parent is the main app, so 0,0 sends it to the top left of the
browser. Can a deeply embedded container get its position relative to
the app? I can hard-code popup restraining values of course, but these
would not work if the user resizes the browser. TIA,

Mic.

I don't know if it's possible, but I think you can use this

myservice.getOperation(_somthing).send(... args);
