Re: [flexcoders] Binding Getter to Collection Change

[claudiu ursica]

Binding only fires when you are hooked into a certain item of the array 
collection changes. So unless you are bound on a certain item, you should 
probably add a listener for CollectionEvent. COLLECTION_ CHANGE yourself and 
handle "by hand" the update.

HTH,
Claudiu

Subject: [flexcoders] Binding Getter to Collection Change


I may be missing something simple here, but I would like to create a
getter function in one of my classes that binds to a collection change
event of an ArrayCollection in the same class.  As a simple example,

public var myCollection: ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection( );

[Bindable]
public function get mySimpleSum( ):int{
return myCollection. length + 10;
}

I would like to bind the view to the getter so that when myCollection
is modified, the getter will refire and the view will update.  So far
nothing I have tried (such as
[Bindable(event= CollectionEvent. COLLECTION_ CHANGE)]) works...

Thoughts?...

Thanks, Kevin




  

[flexcoders] WTF? When pasting into a textarea (on mac), all my newlines disappear!

[Josh McDonald]

Hey guys,

I'm having this problem on safari and Firefox, and it's a *big* problem. Any
time I paste a bunch of text into my  it all looks OK, but the
newlines aren't really there. Trace(comp.text) shows they're not there, and
if I copy from the textarea they're gone.

Is this a known bug, or am I forgetting some magic setting or something? I
*really* need to be able to paste into this app!

Re: [flexcoders] How to keep Tree control synchronized with the database. Please Help

[Paul Andrews]

Anuj,

You will already have seen a few comments about this problem.

If the user is updating the database  inside the application you can use an 
event to signal to the application that the trees dataprovider should be 
refreshed, that would cause your tree to be updated.

Of course, if your tree contains data being updated by other users 
concurrently, then you still won't immediately see the changes that they 
make.

RE: [flexcoders] WTF? When pasting into a textarea (on mac), all my newlines disappear!

How are you doing the code to copy and paste?

Setting up a sting in MXML can look different than if you set it in
actionscript.  This may well be the issue.

Eg.



http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="vertical">



  



  







  



 

This displays

[flexcoders] Re: Alert.show - Detect when closed from another mxml component

[Marielle Lange]

In addition of Application.application.method(), you should be able to have in 
your Alert 
component (or the component that is aware of the Alert box and can detect a 
close event), 
something like this Application.application.dispatchEvent(new 
Event(MyAlertEvent.ALERT_CLOSED)) and in the other component that you want to 
be aware 
of the closed alert have 
Application.application.addEventListener(MyAlertEvent.ALERT_CLOSED, 
someMethod). 

More generally, the solution is to have one component dispatch and event to and 
another 
component listen to an event from an object that both components are aware of.

[flexcoders] createChildren(): adding 20 identical buttons to panel?

[Mic]

public class PanelTest extends Panel{
   private var b1:Button;
   
   override protected function createChildren():void {
  super.createChildren();

  b1 = new Button;
  this.addChild(b1);

In order to add another 19 buttons, must vars b2 to b20 be declared
etc?  This is a very simplistic example of what I need to do (
dynamically add  multiple instances of the same complex component
class to a layout). Because b1 cannot be "reused" for another
addChild(), how would you add the other buttons? TIA,

Mic.

Re: [flexcoders] WTF? When pasting into a textarea (on mac), all my newlines disappear!

[Josh McDonald]

As in, I type something in any text editor (or just hilight & cmd-c in the
console, etc), go to a textarea and hit cmd-v. Visually in the textarea it
looks like it should, but .text has no newlines.

Not unless you need to get at them again without using getChildByName() or

You could simple push each instances on to an array, rather than having b1 ..

Hi,
Use a ProgramaticSkin subclass.

Then use the method drawCircle() to draw the circle based on the value of
getStyle("color"), which is your text color of the parent.

Pseudo;

override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void
{
var color:unit = getStyle("color");
var g:Graphics = graphics;

g.clear();

g.beginFill(color, 1)
g.drawCircle(0, 0, w, h);
g.endFill();
}

Yes, of course it can be reused, the type can't change. Which this is not
the case since you are suing Button for all 20 instances.

You can do;

b1 = new Button()
addChild(b1):

b1 = new Button()
addChild(b1):

b1 = new Button()
addChild(b1):

as many times as you want. It's getting the instances back that you need to
plan for.

As far as retrieving them, as Tom said, and array object hash, or
dictionary.

I strongly suggest using Flex 3 if you are brand new. Flex 4 hasn't been 
released yet, and unless you *really* need some of the new features, you'll 
find Flex 3 much easier to get going.

[flexcoders] Resizeable Components in a Tilelist

[Mark Walker]

I'm new to flex and OO based development, so I'm probably missing the 
point somewhere, but here's my problem.

I have a created a component (QuestionComp) based on a canvas, that 
will display a box with a question label and answer input box as well 
as a couple of other things.

On my main application, I have used a tilelist and linked it to my 
questions datasource and rendered each item using my QuestionComp 
component. This does the job of displaying what I want.

My problem comes in that I want to resize the QuestionComp (if they 
press a button to add comments). I have a function in the component to  
change the Canvas size, but this doesn't seem to modify the way it's 
displayed in the tilelist.

Is there something I need to do, to tell the tilelist to redraw the 
tile.

Probably a really dumb question, but I've googled it and not found an 
answer.

Many thanks
Mark

RE: [flexcoders] WTF? When pasting into a textarea (on mac), all my newlines disappear!

[Kenneth Sutherland]

I think I get what you're meaning but I've not got a mac and I'm not
seeing the issue on my PC (is the issue happening on a PC). If you look
at the debug window it will not show you the \n or \r but if you look at
the value next to the name of the var in the debug window you will see
the \n or \r chars.  You could alternately look at the htmlText property
and you should see all of the formatting there.

As in, I type something in any text editor (or just hilight & cmd-c in
the console, etc), go to a textarea and hit cmd-v. Visually in the
textarea it looks like it should, but .text has no newlines.

Setting up a sting in MXML can look different than if you set it in

Re: [flexcoders] Chart fails when used in module

[Guy Morton]

Replying to my own post...I guess I am seeing this same bug that's a  
subject of another thread:


https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-1695

My way of triggering it is slightly different but the same code  
appears to be causing it.


I spose I'll try the workaround listed there.

My guess is that this is somehow related to the way the chart is now

Anyone have any clues as to what's going wrong here?

[flexcoders] Flash

[John]

Hi there,

Just a few quick questions from me:

What is the best way to inserting a Flash SWF file into a flex, that 
will enable me to have it start from frame 0 on reentry of that 
framework? Would this be States, Viewstack?

Is there a way of using forward and back buttons to navigate through 
displaying a set of States rather than selecting certain objects that 
will then change the state onscreen?

Is there some code anywhere that can show this?

TIA - Regards

[flexcoders] Wizard Component?

[duncan_coutts]

Hi guys, does anyone know if a Wizard link component is already in 
existence in flex. This sort of component would behave in the same way 
that a installer wizard would when installing normal windows programs, 
with next and previous buttons for navigation? A little something like 
this http://www.onlamp.com/onlamp/2007/07/19/graphics/new_project_1.png

Re: [flexcoders] dividerSkin problem

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi Guy,
There is no logic in the divider container that checks the minimum width or
height of the dividers relative to the size of their container.

I don't think this is to weird on Adobe's part since they usually have a
policy (unwritten) that chrome is not part of the measurement algorithm. The
dividers are considered chrome and exist in their own UIComponent layer .

You probably could subclass and add this measurement but it's not that easy
since the DividedBox by nature does not like calling measure(). They do this
for performance and relates to their layout implementation.

[flexcoders] QTP Flex Add-in problem with some FlexDataGrids

[alex_birger]

I am trying to automate Flex application with Adobe QTP Add-in. 
The problem is that content of a few FlexDataGrids is not 
recognizable by QTP.
When such DataGrid doesn't have content, everything is fine. DataGrid 
itself and the header are recognizable.
The issue takes place if content is entered in cells. Object Spy sees 
sells and the header as WinObject. DataGrid itself continues to be 
recognizable.
HeaderClick and SelectIndex are working, but extract information from 
cells is impossible. 

Environment:
Flex 2.01 HF2, compiled with 2.0.1 HF2 automation libraries 
QTP 9.2
QTP Flex Add-in 2.01 HF2.

I've already submitted this issue to Flex Adobe forum, but didn't get 
any respond so far.
The problem is critical for our automation, so I would appreciate any 
help.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex connection to Oracle 10g PL/SQL

[Juliano Mendes]

No need server side language. You can enabled Oracle EPG (Encapsuled PL/SQL 
Gateway) and XDB (XML Database) in your Oracle database and connect Flex to 
Oracle using a HTTP Service request to access directly a Stored Procedure and 
send a XML file back to Flex.

Good Luck!

Re: [flexcoders] drag drop invokes click handler of dragged compoent

[SAAGAR SHETTY]

Hi Prashant,

You can try using mouseUp event instead of click event.
But you will also have to write some extra logic to check if the drag is being 
performed.
You may set some boolean variable on drag and check it on mouseUp event handler.
If it is set then do not do anything.

Hope this helps

Thanks,
Saagar Shetty.

Is there any way i can strop the click handler of the dragged
component being fired when the component is dragged and dropped over
other region?

I want the click handler to work only on non drag operation i.e. when
the component is clicked only and i want to stop click handler from
fired when dragged and dropped.

Flex Preloader is a Class and you can have your own.

But, you have to be aware that you don't have access to the flex framework
only the base class of flash (which is substantial)...

Yeah, ther problems I was seeing are twofold:

1. Pasted-in text loses all newlines
2. Debug inspection of "preset" text using this syntax:





Shows that instead of "\n" I get "\r", like it's stuck in MacOS 9 mode or

I'd recommend reading this one as well. If you use teds examples you'll
end up with a fairly large swf file.

 

Use the following at it will cut it right down to the basic elements.

http://jessewarden.com/2007/07/making-a-cooler-preloader-in-flex-part-1-
of-3.html

 

I've also pasted in a further cut down version that will also force the
preloader to show every time and not just after the present number of
milliseconds.

[flexcoders] sailorsea21 - Does anyone know why this code works with Firefox but not with IE?

[sailorsea21]

Hey everyone, 
I populate my chart from a MySQL database. 
My php script retrieves the data and then converts it into XML for my 
flex chart.
I needed to have the chart refreshed every 30sec without refreshing 
the entire page. 

I got a script working perfectly for Firefox. 
Every 30sec the chart updates but in Internet explorer, it will only 
update every hour or so... 

Is there a fix or is this a know IE bug?

This is the script:

Hi,
Since you are using an itemRenderer, this could be tricky. You need to find
out where the parent is (MenuItem instance) and cast that reference to
IStyleClient.

IE

var color = IStyleClient(parent.parent).getStyle("color");

RO and services-config is not my area of expertise, but I’m pretty sure
the compiler generates code that just sets up channels and endpoints,
which I think you can set on a RemoteObject dynamically.  Is there more
to it than making an HTTP request for an XML file and using that to
instantiate the appropriate channels and what not?

Thanks, Alex. Supposing we really do want modules with new endpoints and
not sub-applications, is it possible to emulate services-config.xml
functionality by programmatically requesting a services-config.xml-like
per-module config file and subclassing RemoteObject to understand the
extra channels and endpoints defined there? Any pointers if that's a
viable solution?

Modules imply a certain level of sharing of class definitions and what
not and probably don’t allow you to not share what AMF needs. You might
want to use a Marshall Plan configuration instead.

I asked this on Saturday, but it was as a clarification to another
question and got no response, so I thought I'd ask again.

What's the best way to deal with modules that define their own set of
AMF endpoints (or even channels)? I need a single services-config.xml
file for the entire war file (I'm deploying as a Java war), right? Is
there an easy way to set up AMF so that others can add modules to the
war without having to recompile the main application against a new
services-config.xml? Is there any way to do that? Modules seem really
cool, but it would be nice if they were self-contained with respect to
this...

Why not just keep the Remote Object details in a database and then use

It's interesting that blendMode works for alpha and rotation, but not

Re: [flexcoders] drag drop invokes click handler of dragged compoent

[Mark Carter]

The DragManager has a useful method to save you the trouble: isDragging(), I
think.

I needed to do something like this just yesterday...

I have a list or words in one list and then the synonyms for the selected
word in another. I want to be able to drag a word from the first list to the
second list (saying "This word is also a synonym" etc).

However, when you try to drag the word, the selection changes and so the 2nd
list updates with the synonyms of the second word!

All I did was to use DragManager.isDragging() to prevent updating of the 2nd
list when dragging. Then when dragging finished (dragComplete), set the
selected item of the first list back to its pre-drag state.

[flexcoders] Re: sailorsea21 - Does anyone know why this code works with Firefox but not with IE?

[langdonjared]

Sounds like IE is caching the result.  Try programatically changing
the url of your HTTPService by tacking on a querystring parameter with
a timestamp.  So, change the url to
http://www.whatever.php?ForceIEReload=20081022T11001234.  Your PHP
script will ignore the extra parameter, but it might force IE to not
cache.

Here's a link that discusses IE caching and a workaround.

[flexcoders] Re: How to remove space at the end of line chart when using disabledDays = "[6,0]"!

[cooper000]

I've been using Flex to plot some financial charts, using the
mx:DateTimeAxis as my horizontal axis to show the date and time of the
plot.  When plotting annual info, I'm able to use the "disableDays"
feature to remove Saturday and Sunday from the plot.  While this
feature has its own set of problems (performance, incorrectly
shrinking the plot's width) I've been able to work around those
glitches to my satisfaction.

I also been rendering intra-day financial charts, and sometimes
multi-day intra-day charts.  In other words, I'll be displaying stock
data from 9:30am Monday through 4:00pm Wednesday, using "minutes" as
the unit of measure for my horizontal DateTimeAxis.

My problem is that I'd like to hide the periods of the day in which
there is no trading activity when displaying a multi-day-intrady plot.
 So in my example of rendering an intra-day plot of Monday-Wednesday,
I'd like to remove all of the overnight periods between Monday-Tuesday
and Tuesday-Wednesday.

If it was an annual plot, I could use "disableDays" and provide an
array of the day values that the Flex chart component should remove,
but is there a way to do this when the unit of measure for the
horizontal DateTimeAxis is "minutes" instead of "days"?

Thanks!

It is a PHP problem.

You create your CleanData instance with:

Then you try to run the method CleanObject with:

return $clean->CleanObject($info);

$clean is not an object instance ($cln is the instance).

[flexcoders] Charts - How to filter dataprovider by date?

[cox.blair]

Hi everyone,

I've spent hours over several weeks looking for a hint of an answer to
this, perhaps my situation is unique.

I have a database, that through necessity, has the data for multiple
items, we'll call them different tests. 

Now if I use this database for a chart's data provider, it will of
course display along the x-axis, all entries which currently exist. So
if there are 10 entries, I'll get 10 data points, whether anything is
plotted on the y-axis or not - just a default line chart, no other
parameters set, it's not important yet.

Okay, so lets say that out of the 10 currently existing data points in
the db, only 5 are relevant to me at the moment. I've figured out how
to select the five I wish by defining them in the y-axis series,
however the remaining 5, still of course exist in the data provider
and are shown along the bottom of the chart and because the data is
not relevant to my selection, appears as zero, no data.

I've probably lost you, so let me explain what I want to do. I would
like to be able to filter the data presented in the data provider,
before the chart is rendered. So if I wish to show only 5 of the 10
available points in the table, I can do so.

Now, can this be done simply by manipulating the x-axis or is it
required to be done perhaps with sql calls to the database.

How about a hint about how I can filter or control the data delivered
in the data provider.

Thanks, 

[flexcoders] How does one cancel/unaccept a drag-and-drop operation in Flex 3?

[Sean]

Goal: Allow the user to delete a record by dragging a row from an
AdvancedDataGrid, dropping it onto a trash-can icon and verify the
user meant to do that via a popup alert with "OK" and "Cancel" buttons.

What is working:
* Dragging/Dropping a row onto the trash icon.
* If the user clicks the "OK" button, the record is deleted.
* If the user clicks the "Cancel" button, the operation is canceled.

Problem: After the user clicks the "Cancel" button and the popup alert
closes, no rows in the ADG can be dragged. I've discovered that after
sorting the ADG, by clicking on a column header, the user can begin
dragging rows again.

Code Flow:
   1. Drag/drop ADG row onto trash icon.
   2. Display confirmation Alert box.
   3. If user clicked "Cancel" button, redisplay the ADG.

Code:
  

// trashImage Event Handlers:
private function deleteParticipantEnter(event:DragEvent):void
{
var component:IUIComponent = IUIComponent(event.currentTarget);
dragComponent = component;
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(component);
DragManager.showFeedback(DragManager.MOVE);
deleteParticipantDragEvent = event;
}

private function deleteParticipantDrop(event:DragEvent):void
{
var selectedKitNum:String = memberRpt.selectedItem.KitNum;
var selectedName:String = memberRpt.selectedItem.ParticipantName;
var component:IUIComponent = IUIComponent(event.currentTarget);
dragComponent = component;
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(component);
isEditingParticipantInfo = false;
isDeletingParticipant = true;
deleteParticipantDropEvent = event;
event.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Added as per mrm
alert.confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this
participant, Kit #" + memberRpt.selectedItem.KitNum + " ("  + 
memberRpt.selectedItem.ParticipantName + ") from the
project?  This cannot be reversed!!  An email will be " +
"sent to notify this participant and you will receive
a copy of it for your records.", confirmRemoveParticipant);
}

private function deleteParticipantDragExit(event:DragEvent):void
{
var component:IUIComponent = IUIComponent(event.currentTarget);
dragComponent = component;
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(component);
DragManager.showFeedback(DragManager.NONE);
}

private function confirmRemoveParticipant(event:CloseEvent):void
{
if (event.detail == Alert.YES)
{
deleteReason =
DeleteParticipantTitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp( this,
DeleteParticipantTitleWindow , true));
dispatchEvent(deleteParticipantDropEvent); // Added as
per mrm
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(deleteReason);
deleteReason.showCloseButton = true;
deleteReason.title = "Reason for removal from project";
deleteReason.addEventListener("close",
cleanupRemoveParticipant);
deleteReason["cancelButton"].addEventListener("click",
cleanupRemoveParticipant);
deleteReason["okButton"].addEventListener("click",
finalizeDeleteParticipant);
isDeletingParticipant = false; 
}
else
{
cleanupRemoveParticipant();
}
}

private function cleanupRemoveParticipant(event:Event = null):void
{
memberRpt.invalidateDisplayList();
memberRpt.executeBindings();
if (deleteReason != null)
{
PopUpManager.removePopUp(deleteReason);
deleteReason = null;
}
}

public function finalizeDeleteParticipant(event:Event):void

[flexcoders] Flash Loader needed ... indeterminate

[tchredeemed]

I have an image, and I need someone to turn this image into a flash swf
for me...

I could try to describe it, but I figured it would be best to show a
picture of it. and that is located here:

http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/5438/loaderjh8.jpg


I wanted to know if anyone could help me, I am willing to pay...  If
this is not a good place to ask for something like this, I would greatly
appreciate anyone who can point me in the right direction!

[flexcoders] Using HTTPStatus

[oneworld95]

Hi, all. I've been trying to implement this example:
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/11/04/detecting-whether-an-image-loaded-successfully-in-flex/

However, it appears that many browsers do not send an HTTP status to
Flash, as described on LiveDocs:

"If Flash Player or AIR cannot get a status code from the server, or
if it cannot communicate with the server, the default value of 0 is
passed to your code. A value of 0 can be generated in any player (for
example, if a malformed URL is requested), and a value of 0 is always
generated by the Flash Player plug-in when it is run in the following
browsers, which do not pass HTTP status codes to the player: Netscape,
Mozilla, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer for the Macintosh."

Does anyone know of a workaround for Firefox to detect whether an
image is present on the server before trying to load it? Thanks.

The button should push the iconColor style down into the icon class by 
default...?

Note:

Basically that white bead just spins around the circle and never

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Still no one knows ? Please help.

[Michael Schmalle]

Amy,
I don't know if what I said was the 'correct' way. But he wanted his bullet
color to be the same as the text color, so using the color style seemed
right.

As far as the styleName being null like he said, I haven't looked into that.
That was what this last post was concerning.

I'd have to look at the Menu - MenuItem code to see what is really going on
when the menu item is created.

It's not clear how your data is bound to the chart, but it sounds like

Subject: [flexcoders] Charts - How to filter dataprovider by date?
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:21:42 -

Hi everyone,

I've spent hours over several weeks looking for a hint of an answer to
this, perhaps my situation is unique.

I have a database, that through necessity, has the data for multiple
items, we'll call them different tests. 

Now if I use this database for a chart's data provider, it will of
course display along the x-axis, all entries which currently exist. So
if there are 10 entries, I'll get 10 data points, whether anything is
plotted on the y-axis or not - just a default line chart, no other
parameters set, it's not important yet.

Okay, so lets say that out of the 10 currently existing data points in
the db, only 5 are relevant to me at the moment. I've figured out how
to select the five I wish by defining them in the y-axis series,
however the remaining 5, still of course exist in the data provider
and are shown along the bottom of the chart and because the data is
not relevant to my selection, appears as zero, no data.

I've probably lost you, so let me explain what I want to do. I would
like to be able to filter the data presented in the data provider,
before the chart is rendered. So if I wish to show only 5 of the 10
available points in the table, I can do so.

Now, can this be done simply by manipulating the x-axis or is it
required to be done perhaps with sql calls to the database.

How about a hint about how I can filter or control the data delivered
in the data provider.

Thanks, 




 

[flexcoders] Scaling is jerky.

[flexaustin]

I was wondering if anyone had a quick answer for why a swf file is
jerky when running in an application but if you go to source and put
in the path directly to the swf file and run the swf everything looks
perfect?

Say for instance you are zooming something on stage. If you scroll
while the swf is on the web page the zooming is clunky and jerky, but
if you go to the direct url of the swf or if you view on your desktop
all is fine. 

I am embedding the file via the newer swfObject.

TIA

Re: [flexcoders] QTP Flex Add-in problem with some FlexDataGrids

[Matt Chotin]

Are you using itemRenderers?  You said some datagrids, so I'm assuming others 
work that maybe don't have item renderers?  Do you need to automation enable 
your item renderer classes?

Any chance you can do a smaller test case with Flex 3 and check with that 
install?  It's very possible bugs are fixed since then.

which entries are in database and update the dataProvider with the
recent entries. Do you guys think this is going to work. i am going to

I would advise Repeater for this.  It willsave a lot of code and

RE: [flexcoders] Re: sailorsea21 - Does anyone know why this code works with Firefox but not with IE?

Sounds like caching to me as well.  Are you using "GET" or "POST"?  I
use post exclusively and have no caching issues.  The unique string on
the url is an accepted solution as well.

Sounds like IE is caching the result. Try programatically changing
the url of your HTTPService by tacking on a querystring parameter with
a timestamp. So, change the url to
http://www.whatever.php?ForceIEReload=20081022T11001234.
  Your PHP
script will ignore the extra parameter, but it might force IE to not
cache.

Here's a link that discusses IE caching and a workaround.

Look at your browser's caching settings and make sure it's not
set to cache everything forever. 

 

IE is particularly annoying in this regard as it often defaults
to using a cached item without even checking with the server to see if
it has changed since it was cached.

 

That said, you should get used to clearing your cache, as all
browsers will sometimes cache things in a way you don't want it to.
That's a fact of life in web development.

Ok, sorry this is a lame question, but I'm not an HTML guy and I'm
pounding my head on the desk trying to figure this out. How do I point
to the absolute path of the SWF in the Adobe style embed script? All of
our pages need to embed the same swf located in the root directory. For
organization, some of the html pages are in sub directories. Any pages
in a sub directory do not load the SWF. I tried the following with no
luck: 

 

AC_FL_RunContent(

"src", "/WebNavMenu.swf",

"width", "100%",

"height", "100%",

"align", "middle",

"id", "WebNavMenu",

"quality", "high",

"allowScriptAccess","sameDomain",

"type", "application/x-shockwave-flash",

[flexcoders] drawing via actionscript

[tchredeemed]

public class MyClass {
public function MyClass(){
var drawingComponent:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
// draw on the drawingComponent;
}
}



If I have that, and I do (in my flex) new MyClass() and add it to the
mxml, it doesn't show up with what I draw on drawingComponent.

How do I add the drawingComponent to the class, so that it will show up?

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid Selection and Overing.

[Tim Hoff]

Hi Parjan,

You can give the illusion that the DataGrid is not selectable by
extending DataGrid and overriding the drawSelectionIndicator function
(selectable="true").

package com.controls
{
import mx.controls.DataGrid;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer;



public class MyDataGrid extends DataGrid
{
 public function MyDataGrid()
 {
super();
 }



 override protected function drawSelectionIndicator(
indicator:Sprite,
x:Number, y:Number,
width:Number,
height:Number, color:uint,
   
itemRenderer:IListItemRenderer):void
 {
 /* don't call super and don't draw the selection indicator */
 }

}
}

Another hack would be to set the selectedIndex to -1 on the DataGrid
change event.

[flexcoders] URL redirect and close Alert window

[brucewhealton]

Hello,
   Currently, I have an application that opens in a new window. 
It is created in Flex and is linked to from another page on my site. 
Currently, I have the flex application page open up using target="_blank".
  When the user goes to the new page, they are given a form and
when they submit the data, an Alert box pops up telling them their
information was submitted.  What I was wondering is whether or not it
would be feasible to take them back to the original window on the
website from which they clicked on the link to go to the Flex
application.  So, the user clicks OK, in the Alert box, the page that
opened with the Flex application, closes and they are back where they
left off.  
   If that can't be done, can I have it where the user clicks OK
in the Alert and they are redirected to the original web page?  I
guess the least desirable choice would be to have an HTML link that
says "Return to Home Page" wrapped inside an anchor tag.  
I know in AS 2.0 there was a simple goToUrl command that I
could put on button.  I did a search on that and it doesn't seem to be
a part of AS 3.0. I didn't see anything in the Alert class that would
allow the user to be redirected when they close the Alert Box.
Thanks,
Bruce

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to keep Tree control synchronized with the database. Please Help

[Fotis Chatzinikos]

Hi Anuj, i would go for Paul's recommendation with some small variations:

1) if the application is single user, the you do not need to poll,
you can insert the data directly in your data source as at any given point
you know that new nodes
are added to the database.

For example: You do some sort of backend call to insert new staff in the db
and in the response handle
you update the tree data source manually via addChild or similar (depending
on xml array collection and so on).

2) if your application is multiuser, i would go for 1) and at the same time
poll the db with a timestamp or
last id, so you ask only for new data (insertions or deletions) and then
manually update your datasource...

It might be slightly more complicated but you have far far less wire
communications, db and backend processing and so on...

[flexcoders] Re: URL redirect and close Alert window

[valdhor]

The Alert class has a few nice features. One of these is a function to
run when the Alert box closes:

Alert.show("Do you really want the world to End?", "Kill Everyone",
Alert.YES | Alert.NO, this, worldEndHandler);

The other item you are looking for is navigateToURL:

private function worldEndHandler(event:CloseEvent):void
{
 if (event.detail == Alert.YES)
 {
 navigateToURL(new
URLRequest(""http://armageddon.com/sayhellotogod.html, '_self');
 }
}

[flexcoders] Re: sailorsea21 - Does anyone know why this code works with Firefox but not with IE?

[sailorsea21]

I'm using "POST" and a unique string for the url. See below.

[Bindable]
private var HTTPService_url:String = "company.php?ForceIEReload&ms=" + 
new Date().getTime();



What I noticed is that in Firefox, I see the message 
"Transferring data from localhost..." appearing at the bottom left in 
the status bar... I can tell that every 30sec it updates whereas in IE, 
it always displays "Done"???

I think IE never runs the "updateData" function...?

private function updateData(event:TimerEvent):void {
data.send();
}

Or maybe it kept the "data.send" values in cache... 

Any ideas?

Thanks everyone.

[flexcoders] viewStack is slow opening the first time

[Mark]

I'm building an app with 4 stacks in my viewStack with a wipe in and 
out effect.  The Stacks are just different views of the data, a 
generic datagrid view, a bar chart view, and a couple others.  The 
default datagrid view is fine but the others, such as the bar chart, 
needs to do some calculations before displaying that chart.  Because 
these calculations are being done the first time you click the button 
it's slow in opening that view.  Is there a way to display the "busy 
cursor", or maybe a way to do the calculations in the background 
before they change the view?  

I'm connecting to a web service then splitting out the data into a few 
different arrayCollections.  Each view is a custom component that is 
bound to it's specified arrayCollection.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

This may be one case where you would want to use creationPolicy="all",

RE: [flexcoders] Re: viewStack is slow opening the first time

[Tracy Spratt]

Suppose you used Time to delay about 5 seconds after
application.creatonComplete, then either set creationPolicy="all" or
manually call createChildren() on the desired views?

 

Kind of half and half, where the app would display quickly, but begin
rendering "in the background" without user intervention.

Hi Mark,

This may be one case where you would want to use creationPolicy="all",
for the ViewStack. It will add more time to startup, but the user
experience may be better; once the application is loaded.

[flexcoders] Re: createChildren(): adding 20 identical buttons to panel?

[Mic]

Thanks for all the help  I was trying to

b1 = new Button;
this.addChild(b1);
this.addChild(b1);
this.addChild(b1); etc which is why it appeared that b1 was "all used
up" :-)When adding to the displaylist why does  b1 = new Button; have
to be done each time? Why can't b1, which is an instance of the button
class, be duplicated into the list? b1 is just a variable that refers
to the instance, right? Not a unique id. Not sure why this is
different from


   
   
   


TIA, Mic.

there are many many examples in the online docs at Adobe.

[flexcoders] FMS SharedObject Array problem...

[grimmwerks]

What's wrong with this:


var ev = new Object({sender: this.user.username, message: str});
trace("got chat " + ev.message);
var h = this.application.so_Chat.getProperty("history");
h.push(ev);
this.application.so_Chat.setProperty("history", h);
var q = this.application.so_Chat.getProperty("history");
trace("q " + q.length);
trace(q[q.length].message);
trace("finished chat");
}

Ok - q.length traces out properly (ie as I add an item, it gets added  
properly, the length increases by 1) -- but the history[q].message is  
throwing an error.

[flexcoders] Sound issues in Player 10

[Steve Mathews]

I started getting reports that our product quit working in Flash Player 10
so I started investigating it. I found that loaded audio, video with audio
and swfs with audio all quit working. So if you look at
http://www.flypaper.com/product/quicktour.aspx with player 9 installed, then
with 10 you can see that it doesn't work. In this case it is a loaded swf
that has the animation and audio on the timeline. I have put together
several test cases but all of them work fine. At this point I can't think of
any reason this would quit working in player 10.
Has anyone seen any issues like this, or can someone from Adobe give me some
advice on tracking down the issue?
I would log a bug in the tracker, but without a test case I can't really say
what is wrong.
Thanks,
Steve

Right, but b1 refers to one button. If you add it ten times over you're 
trying to add the same button to the container not ten different buttons. 
Using new Button() gives you a new button, so writing

b1 = new Button();
this.addChild(b1);

creates a new Button, points b1 at it and adds it to the display list. Do it 
again and then b1 points to a different Button..

The mxml tag notation not only refers to the Button class but also 
instantiates a seprate instance, so you would get ten different buttons.

I just went there in Firefox and Safari on the Mac and heard the voiceover fine

I have seen it on XP/Vista in IE7 and FF3. I asked my artists to test on a

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to keep Tree control synchronized with the database. Please Help

[Paul Andrews]

A word of caution Anuj.

I don't know if your timer works once a second or once a minute, or once every 
two minutes. If you have only one online user, it's not too huge a deal either 
way. If you have a hundred users you can cause big problems for your server. 
The timer technique just makes the best of a bad job. Usually a lot of care is 
taken over database and query design to minimise the impact of large numbers of 
users. Unfortunately the timer technique gives the server a lot of work even 
when the number of users is quite small.

Remember a timer on the client just affects one user and there's usually 
processor power to spare. A timer in conjunction with a server database access 
stresses the server. It stresses the server a lot.

End of cautionary note.

[flexcoders] Updating row of datagrid

[oneworld95]

I've got a datagrid which displays an image (if one has been uploaded)
for each record. The user can upload a new image file from within that
row. I'm losing my mind trying to figure out how to update the row's
image when the upload has completed.

The invalidateDisplayList() and invalidateProperties() are called in
the uploadCompleted() handler method of the file upload process. The
problem is that the selected row's image doesn't update to the new
image until I've clicked on a button in the same record or another
record. Very strange. 

I've even tried setting the invalidateDisplayList() and
invalidateProperties() inside the itemRenderer's set data() method! 

Please help! Thanks in advance.
