[flexcoders] mx:PopUpMenuButton drop down menu looks blurd when wmode is opaque

2008-09-28 Thread Jonathan Lee
Hello all:
I'm using the mx:PopUpMenuButton and I set the dataProvider to be a fixed XML 
list in the mxml file

Everything looks fine if the wmode in browser is set as window. But I want to 
use transparent or opaque. Then, when I use Google Chrome, or IE7, the drop 
down menu looks some fuzzy, I need to use mouse to move on it to make it 
finished the drawing function.

Any idea about that?

Thanks.

http://blog.iconara.net/2007/11/05/a-generic-way-to-remove-an-event-listener/

Thank you gents - that solved my anonymous function problem and
started me down the road of a more generic solution.

Borrowing directly from ExtJS [1] (licenced under GPLv3) and extending
the Function primative, I came up with this:


/**
 * Create a combined function call sequence of the original function +
the passed function.
 * The resulting function returns the results of the original
function. The passed fcn is called
 * with the parameters of the original function.
 * 
 *   Parameters:
 *  
 *  * fcn : Function
 *The function to sequence
 *  * scope : Object
 *(optional) The scope of the passed fcn (Defaults to scope of
original function)
 *  
 *  Returns:
 *  
 *  * Function
 *The new function
 */
Function.prototype.createSequence =
function(fcn:Function,scope:Object=null):Function {
if(typeof fcn!=function){
return this
}

var C=this;
return function(){
var D=C.apply(this,arguments);
fcn.apply(scope||this,arguments);
return D
}
}

And then an alternative addEventListener function which accepts an
options config object:

public function addListener(fn,opts=null) {

if(opts.single) {
  fn = fn.createSequence(function(event) {
event.currentTarget.removeEventListener(event.type, fn)
  })
}   
myEventBroadcaster.addEventListener(Event.EVENT_TYPE,fn);
}

[flexcoders] Chart ItemRenderer - Seeking Confirmation of this Bad Memory Leak Queue Problem

2008-09-28 Thread EddieBerman
I submitted this issue to the Adobe Flex Bug Mgmt System a few weeks 
back but haven't as yet seen a comment, nor did my last post on this 
forum yield a response, so I'm going to give it another go here.

The problem I'm seeing is that you cannot dynamically switch 
itemRenderers on a chart series at runtime. You can code it, and run 
it, but any and all previous itemRenderers remain active. Since your 
likely initial graphics command is Graphics.clear(), you may not 
notice the problem as each itemRenderer clears the previous 
itemRenderer's drawing, BUT under the covers this continued switching 
of itemRenderers will add itemRenderers to the priorityQueue, eating 
memory and slowing things down along the way. ItemRenderers are never 
removed from the queue.

I'm hoping someone with knowledge, or at least interest, could weigh 
in and let me know if indeed it's a bug, or if I'm coding this 
incorrectly, or if there's an alternative approach, etc...  I'm 
polishing off a 3D ColumnChart and may have to remove support for 
dynamic itemRenderers.

More info, a screenshot of a huge priorityQueue, and sample code can 
be found in my bug report: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-
1882.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me move past this 
issue.

[flexcoders] Re: Date chooser component with only months and years

2008-09-28 Thread james.tundra
Hi,

You can hide the date grid in the component, by using the mx_internal
namespace:

e.g: myDateChooser.mx_internal::dateGrid.visible = false

you can then just grab the month / year values as you need them:

var month:int = myDateChooser.displayedMonth
var year:int = myDateChooser.displayedYear

you will have to import mx.core.mx_internal for this to work, and
anything using the mx_internal namespace may change in the future, so
you may need to review your code if/when you use a newer version of
the framework.

Hope that helps.

Cheers.

display on the left and right of the text. If i dont set a 
percentwidth=100 on the text, the text does not wrap. If i do the the 
uicomponent following the text is displayed at the far right and does 
not look good when the text component has a small string in it..


thx.

 For some reason, my posts are empty when i use the rich text editor. 
 In any case, if the parent's width is absolute, use maxwidth as such.

[flexcoders] Runtime default parameter

2008-09-28 Thread itdanny2002
Hi,

How to set the default running parameter for testing ?

Normally, we create a program named abcde. We
run path+abcde. However, I want to add some
parameter after the program for testing e.g.
path+abcde+#123 i.e.http: ...abcde#123 

Now, I run the program and then type #123 on url 
manually. Of course, 123 is not hard-coded. I may 
enter 234 or 456 for testing. Any faster method ?  



RE: [flexcoders] Pure MVC

2008-09-28 Thread Mark Easton
Yes it does - PureMVC MultiCore ...
 
This variation supports modular programming, allowing the use of
independent program modules each with their own independent PureMVC 'Core'.
A Core is a set of the four main actors used in the Standard framework
(Model, View, Controller and Facade). This version of the framework uses
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiton_pattern Multitons instead of
Singletons. Rather than storing a single instance of the class, a Multiton
stores a map of instances. Each Core is referenced by an associated Multiton
Key. 

The MultiCore Version of the framework was developed due to the widespread
need for modular support in a world of ever-more ambitious Rich Internet
Applications which must load and unload large pieces of functionality at
runtime. For instance a PDA application might need to dynamically load and
unload modules for managing task list, calendar, email, contacts, and
files. (from Wikipedia)

ActiveRecord.test.findall().

If I wanted to add a record it would be:
private var t:Test = new Test();
t.Name = 'bob';
t.Email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
var asyncToken:AsyncToken = null;
asyncToken = t.save();

The problem that I have is I dont understand how to update a record,
take my row 1

email = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [flexcoders] about keyboard operation in flex

If you open the index.template.html that's stored in html-template you can
avoid that browser borring thing and will works.

Open it and add the following code
onLoad=window.document.${application}.focus();
onkeydown=window.${application}.focus()

into your body  tag

It will works both in IE,FF, Safari

[flexcoders] flex dynamic instantiation of classes or class names

2008-09-28 Thread flexaustin
Is it possible to instantiate objects with dynamic names? 

So instead of:---

var n:Object = new Object;


Something like:-

for (var i:int=0; i  array.length; i++){
   var n(i):Object = new Object;
}

I need to create instance of certain type object, but then reference
those objects later by their name. I would like to create them then
store them in a dictionary and reference them later so maybe using the
dictionaries methods to access them would be better?


So do something like so:

for (var i:int=0; i  array.length; i++){
   var n(i):Object = new Object;
   myDict[n(i)] = n(i);
}

then later do this:-

var g1:something = b.link ( myDict[n1], myDict[n2])


TIA!
