Re: [flexcoders] Flex developer and their hourly rate

[Rich Rodecker]

That's always a hard question, and mostly depends on a few major points:
 location, experience, and additional skill set. SF, and just about every
major city is definitely going to get you a higher rate than say, Tennessee.
 How is your portfolio?  If you have an impressive body of work that will
also increase your value. On top of that, if your a flex developer that is
highly skilled in additional areas, or have alot of experience building
enterprise-level apps, that will also increase your value.
All that being said, I don't know :) Though I'd esitmate you're going to be
somewhere around $100/hr.

[flexcoders] Re: sqlite insert issue

[jason_williams_mm]

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Johannes Nel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 

The confusion here is due to the affinities that you have selected.
When the AIR embedded db cannot find the affinity specified it
defaults to NUMERIC.  There is no affinity called "timestamp" (or
"bigint" for that matter) and you are left with a NUMERIC affinity. 
In this case the string value of "2008-08..." is being inserted into a
field in which a NUMERIC value is expected.  The embedded db in the
AIR runtime makes an attempt to convert that string into the desired
value, however, a conversion isn't possible, and the result is the
error you see.  Why does this work in SQLite? In the SQLite db
affinities are not enforced, so when the attempt to convert fails the
string value is inserted as is.

If you change the affinity specified here to DATE you will get what
you expect, and additionally, when you select the value back out you
will get an AS3 Date object.

Hi All,

Having a fun one here...I have two ADG's that each have a list of 
individuals, in a hierarchical grouping collection and have drag drop enabled 
between the two ADG's.  Basically the grouped ADG on the left shows people 
grouped by which project they are in...the one of the right shows people who 
haven't been added to any project.  The user is allowed to drag a person from 
the unassigned ADG on the right and drop them into a specific group (node) on 
the left.

The challenge I am having is identifying the drop target on the grouped 
collection.  Have tried everything from looking at event.currentTarget to 
checking the underlying dataprovider for the ADG to even assigning specific 
listeners to the "grouped" ADG all to no avail.  I can identify the information 
about the individual being moved into the groups via the 
dataprovider.selectedItem just fine.

How in the world do I identify which node of the grouped collection the 
person is being dropped into as well as their drop index?

Any help here is appreciated

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to test for object and do other things

[Josh McDonald]

When evaluate obj["foo"] and there's no "foo" field on "obj", you get
undefined.

And

*this[prop].text *

is the same as

*(this[prop]).text*

So when prop is the name of an invalid property (like "myInput6"), it's the
same as calling:
*
(undefined).text*

Which is never going to work.

Replace your test for

*if(this[prop].text)*

with

*if(prop in this)*

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid not redrawing properly

I have an AdvancedDataGrid in an application in one of the states. The first
time I display it, everything is fine. If I subsequently enter another state
and then redisplay the AdvancedDataGrid, it shows up with any borders or
grid lines. As soon as I populate it (assign a data provider), the borders
and grid lines reappear.

 

Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

  Hi every one i have one simple textfiled with focusout event  and button with 
click event.

  Now when i entered some text in textinput and when clicks on button , 
according to me two events shoud be dispatched at a time ( plz correct me i am 
wrong ), one textfield focusout and second button clicks event. but for some 
reason it dispatches only one event i.e focus out ca any one tell to to resolve 
this problem i want to dispatch both events @ the same time here os code sapmle.

Hi Parkash,

Normally you would get two events, but your test example actually stops the 
second event from happening!

If you click the button (without entering a text field) you get "1" in the 
Alert box -as expected.

If you put the cursor into a text field, and then click the button you get "2" 
in the alert box - as expected, but a second alert box doesn't appear with a 
"1" in it  - unexpected.

The reason is described in this abstract from the documentation about the 
"click" event:

"For a click event to occur, it must always follow this series of events in the 
order of occurrence: mouseDown event, then mouseUp. The target object must be 
identical for both of these events; otherwise the click event does not occur."

When you click on the button after putting the cursor into the textinput, at 
the start of the click the mouse is down over the button - this causes the text 
to lose focus and fire an event - so the Alert box is presented. By now the 
mouse is no longer over the original button and so the mouse down/mouse up 
sequence is broken for the button because a modal dialog has popped up so the 
click event is never fired.

If you replace the alert boxes with trace statements and run it through the 
debugger, you'll find it works as you expect it to..

Paul

RE: [flexcoders] Does UIComponent.measureHTMLText(htmlText) method takes TextFormat.blockIndent value into the account when calculating width value of TextLineMetrics object?

[Gordon Smith]

It sounds like a Player quirk that the Flex framework needs to work around. I 
think a fix went in to the measure() method of UITextFormat recently for a 
similar problem with 'indent'. You should file a bug. And if you file a patch, 
it is likely to get fixed sooner.

Hello all,
I have a question for ya, have an object and I want to test for a flex

I have these flex UI items:





I have an object:
obj.myInput1 = 'Odd';
obj.myInput2 = 'Even';
obj.myInput3 = 'Odd';
obj.myInput4 = 'Even';
obj.myInput5 = 'Odd';
obj.myInput6 = 'Even';

so I can do this to see what is in the object:
for (var prop:String in obj)
{
trace(prop, ' is ' + obj[prop]);
}

and I will get:
myInput1 is Odd
myInput2 is Even
myInput3 is Odd
myInput4 is Even
myInput5 is Odd
myInput6 is Even
myInput7 is Odd

Now I want to test to see if we have the textinput items for each
return of obj

I want to do something like this:
for (var prop:String in obj)
{
trace(prop, ' is ' + obj[prop]);
if(prop.text) {
trace('found');
prop.text = obj[prop];
}
This should find
myInput1
myInput3
myInput5
myInput7

and add the information in the object to the textinput items.

but the problem is that the above code dosnt work, how can I do this?

Hi Derrick,

The ComboBox prompt will not solve your problem here. It only appears
when the selectedIndex==-1; Unless you want to subclass ComboBox,
you're going to have to add "none" to the dataProvider, and implement
custom logic to account for it. Since you're using the same
dataProvider elsewhere, I suggest that you use the object utility copy
function, to make a deep copy of the collection; to be used for the
ComboBox with "none" added.

"textFormat.blockIndent" value applied to the textField in question.

   Is that an intentional behavior?

[flexcoders] Re: adding (none) option to comboboxes

[Tim Hoff]

Hi Derrick,

The ComboBox prompt will not solve your problem here.  It only appears
when the selectedIndex==-1;  Unless you want to subclass ComboBox,
you're going to have to add "none" to the dataProvider, and implement
custom logic to account for it.  Since you're using the same
dataProvider elsewhere, I suggest that you use the object utility copy
function, to make a deep copy of the collection; to be used for the
ComboBox with "none" added.

Re: [flexcoders] Using an IFrame in an MDIWindow

[Brendan Meutzner]

Lynn,
Do you have the proper hooks setup in the external browser window to update
the iFrame position via JavaScript when you move the MDIWindow instance?

I haven't setup an IFrame within MDI, but have in the past used Panel popups
to do this (which is basically the same thing), and the tricky part was
using ExternalInterface to update the IFrame content position getting loaded
by the browser.

[flexcoders] switch label to textinput

[frosifer]

Does the concept of ItemRenderers and ItemEditor apply outside of a
list-based control? What I would like is to have a label control (no
border, etc) display some text, and then allow the user to change this
text by making the label turn into a textinput control when it
receives focus. This is similar to the default behavior of strings in
editable datagrids, for example. But I do not want this to be inside a
grid, I want the label to be directly on a form/canvas. What is the
best way to do this? Do I actually need to come up with a custom
control that switches between the two components based on the focusin
and focusout events, or is there more built-in support for this behavior?

[flexcoders] Using an IFrame in an MDIWindow

[lynnkuh]

Has anyone gotten this work? If so, how did you do it? It doesn't
position the IFrame in the correct place and when I move the IFrame,
the window doesn't move with it. I also tried using URLRequest but
that pops up a browser window only - it will not add it to the stage
or addChild() for either IFrame or URLRequest. Am thinking maybe I
should modify the updateDisplayList method in MDIWindowControlsContainer?

Thanks,

[flexcoders] adding (none) option to comboboxes

[Derrick Anderson]

hi,  i know this is probably a simple question- but what's the best way of
adding a (none) label to a combobox.  i have a setter for the dataprovider
where I add an option for (None) in the list, but I don't actually want it
in the dataprovider if that makes sense.  Basically, I want (None) to always
be a selectable item in comboboxes, but I don't actually want to put that
option in the arraycollection combobox dataprovider.  here is the setter for
the combobox dataprovider

public function set segmentList(list:ArrayCollection):void
{
_segmentList = list;
var item:DataSegmentVO = new DataSegmentVO();
item.dataSegmentID = 0;
item.dataSegmentName = '(None)';

if(_segmentList[0].dataSegmentID != 0)
_segmentList.addItemAt(item,0);


dispatchEvent(new Event("segmentsChanged"));
}

the problem is that same segmentList arraycollection is used in the place I
manage segments, and it puts a (none) option in there and it doesn't make
sense there.

[flexcoders] How to test for object and do other things

[timgerr]

Hello all,
I have a question for ya, have an object and I want to test for a flex
ui component with that name.  Here is what I am trying to do.

I have these flex UI items:






I have an object:
obj.myInput1 = 'Odd';
obj.myInput2 = 'Even';
obj.myInput3 = 'Odd';
obj.myInput4 = 'Even';
obj.myInput5 = 'Odd';
obj.myInput6 = 'Even';
obj.myInput7 = 'Odd';

so I can do this to see what is in the object:
for (var prop:String in obj)
   {
  trace(prop,  ' is ' +   obj[prop]);
   }

and I will get:
myInput1 is Odd
myInput2 is Even
myInput3 is Odd
myInput4 is Even
myInput5 is Odd
myInput6 is Even
myInput7 is Odd

Now I want to test to see if we have the textinput items for each
return of obj

I want to do something like this:
for (var prop:String in obj)
   {
  trace(prop,  ' is ' +   obj[prop]);
  if(prop.text) {
  trace('found');
  prop.text = obj[prop];
   }
This should find 
myInput1
myInput3
myInput5
myInput7

and add the information in the object to the textinput items.

but the problem is that the above code dosnt work, how can I do this?
Thanks for the help,
timgerr

[flexcoders] Compare text and highlight the differences

[nhid]

Hello,

We're trying to do a text comparision between 2 paragraphs and highlight
only the words that are different in the paragraphs.  How we are trying to
accomplish this is by comparing the words from paragraph 1 to those in
paragraph 2, keeping track of the matches as in a matrix, then use the
sentence with the highest matches as the base sentence, then highlight the
remaining words in that sentence in paragraph 2.  This method seems to be
cumbersome and not working properly at the moment.

Any other suggestions how or has anyone seen a sample to do this?

Thank you.

[flexcoders] Reclaiming memory from removed viewstack children

[achegedus]

I have a fairly simple app that I made as a test, confirming what I've
read elsewhere.  It seems that when a layer is removed from a
viewstack using removeChild or removeAllChildren the memory is not
garbage collected. 

In this example i have a simple viewstack that adds a few layers of a
component with a chart on it (using anychart).  When I create the
layers, it's fine, but when I delete them, the memory stays up and the
instances of the chart don't decrease... do this enough times, and
it'll crash your browser.

Does anyone know how I can really delete a child layer?

Here's some code:

[flexcoders] Re: sqlite insert issue

[valdhor]

Nope - not as a non string. Make it a number! Try this...

insert into category(id, version, name, ordering, external,
createddate, modifieddate, createdby_id, modifiedby_id) values
(477,14,'Leads',0,'false',NULL,1234567,NULL,1109);

Does it work? If so, you will need to convert the string to a
timestamp (ie. The number of seconds since the unix epoch on January
1st, 1970).

[flexcoders] getting/settings explicit height/width for a custom toolTip?

[djbrown_rotonews]

I'm attempting to create a custom toolTip using a Text component (of 
varying length, depending on the underlying data) inside a VBox 
component (with no explicit height or width declared) that implements 
IToolTip.

Inside the creationComplete handler for the VBox, I build out the 
contents of the Text component, but the underlying values of 
measuredHeight etc.. don't seem to get updated. As a result, the 
toolTips aren't being posiitioned correctly as calls to 
getExplicitOfMeasuredHeight and Width is returning values like 6 and 7 
as opposed to 225 and 150 etc...

I've even placed explicit calls to invalidateProperties, 
invalidateDisplayList and invalidateSize at the end of the 
creationComplete handler with no luck.

any ideas?

Does it happen in pure html pages as well? In firefox?
I had this happen due to accidentally hitting some key combo that
changed the default keyboard setting *in the browser*.
Trouble is, I've completely forgotten what it was (again). Sorry about
that.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex application keyboard language!?
 
Hi there,

Im sure this is a fairly simple issue to resolve, but i just cant 
seem to get it. 

The text inputs within my flex application have the at(@) sign and 
the quotation mark(") sign mixed up. When i press ctrl 2 i get the @ 
sign when i should be getting the quotation marks and vice versa.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Many thanks,

Dave

P.S. Its not an issue with my operating system, i am using the 
correct keyboard layout. Other flex applications i have developed 
dont have this issue.

[flexcoders] Data transfer choices...

[chris]

Thanks for the reply, Mike. And your patience with a newbie.
To answer your questions: 1) what am I attempting to do - I would  
like, in the first instance to set up a portfolio, separated into  
various sections, and to be able to navigate - say from a video piece  
to an illustration or animation with linked/counterpointed theme, thus  
creating discrete narrative paths.   Maybe Flex isn't the best way to  
manage this? I thought that it would make a good wrapper for Flash,  
and enable some added functionality...
2) Have I read any books? Some. Sets of tutorials - 'Total training',  
'Flex in a week', stuff on Degrafa, and others -  explored  
FlexExamples, Flexbookmarks and similar sites - and read chunks of the  
adobe live docs, as well as 'Learning flex 3' by Alaric Cole (which  
doesn't even list the word resource in its index) but has been useful  
for mxml, and css styles. Not enough obviously.
  Can you please recommend a good  book, where there is some emphasis  
is on graphics and design/styling?  That said, I have become  
interested in the possibilities for interactive/responsive art pieces  
built in Flex, while trying to learn the app.
 From what you say in your reply it seems that what I have been doing  
(using HttpService to load assets via an xml file) is  adequate - and  
all those other ideas, remoteObject, databases, etc. stem from not  
realising that I should be calling my assets "resources" as opposed to  
"data".  Duuh.
You have helped  a lot simply by clearing up that syntax. By searching  
on-line with those parameters, I  immediately found Greg LaFrance's  
post 'Multiple VideoDisplay and playback controls for each using  
repeater', which is a big help. ( I think. I should be able to manage  
adding some more controls to it and set up a Tile List component with  
button-enabled thumbnails...)
Previously I was planning to use the Adobe video gallery as a basis,  
re-jig it and load it into Flex as a .swc It is entirely possible  
that I made some other mistake with the Adobe video gallery tutorial (  
with paths, or loading parameters) that prevented it from functioning  
well. It worked fine locally but  was extremely slow to load when I  
tried to use it on the web, even before I had tried converting it to a  
.swc.

I was next planning to use states with custom transitions to move from  
one section/gallery to another, before I heard about modules and was  
lured by concepts of frameworks, ( e.g. Mate event mapping) which I  
believed might be better for updating and re-configuring.  Is states  
the right way to go, or would I be better off with a Mate-style  
configuration?

Re: [flexcoders] flex label printing...

They seem to have windows drivers, so there shouldn't be a problem, should 
there?

My post about this subject was for a printer that had no windows drivers - 
this looks rather different.

It's also possible to have multiple versions of the Flash plugin installed at 
once (say v8 and v9) by accident or design, and SWFObject certainly doesn't 
like that, maybe the Adobe sniffer doesn't either.

[flexcoders] rpc fault when testing LCDs with samples.war

[datkangpeguy]

I've installed JOTM 2.0.10 on Apache 6.0 with LCD ES 2.5.1 in hopes of
developing apps in Flex Builder 3 that will use Data Management services.

I'm able to run all the samples in the given samples.war testdrive
file except the very last one, Sample 8: Data Management
Service.the very service that i am interested in using. 

Whenever i try to submit an update to a field by hitting enter, i get
the following message:

[RPC Fault faultString="There was an unhandled failure on the server.
null" faultCode="Server.Processing" faultDetail="null"]

RE: [flexcoders] Flex application keyboard language!?

[Jim Hayes]

Does it happen in pure html pages as well? In firefox?
I had this happen due to accidentally hitting some key combo that
changed the default keyboard setting *in the browser*.
Trouble is, I've completely forgotten what it was (again). Sorry about
that.

Hi there,

Im sure this is a fairly simple issue to resolve, but i just cant 
seem to get it. 

The text inputs within my flex application have the at(@) sign and 
the quotation mark(") sign mixed up. When i press ctrl 2 i get the @ 
sign when i should be getting the quotation marks and vice versa.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Many thanks,

Dave

P.S. Its not an issue with my operating system, i am using the 
correct keyboard layout. Other flex applications i have developed 
dont have this issue.

[flexcoders] Re: flex label printing...

[nathanpdaniel]

Why can't you send plain text?  The user is still prompted with the 
printer selection dialog (you can't control that anyway) - if the 
Label printer is selcted, it'll print whatever you send it (I've done 
it before...).
  You gotta know the Zebra printer language to have a shot at doing 
anything else.  There's a manual out there (couldn't tell you where 
other than the Zebra site - good luck with that one :D).  Then, it'd 
only be possible to do it in AIR, and, you'd basically send the 
string (which the printer breaks down and is able to print).  I was 
never able to successfully do it.
  The way it works, you generate a "string" (we'll call it PTR for 
now since it's not really just a string).  PTR has to be in the Zebra 
Language (or whatever it's called).  You have to send the PTR to the 
port (printer, comm, etc) the printer is connected to.  Technically, 
the printer should accept the string and know what to do from there.  
Theoretically, that's how it should work - if it actually does - you 
deserve a prize! :D  I tried (in vain) for weeks to get it to work - 
before I settled on creating an Object that would print (in plain 
text) on my Zebra printer (and gave up on it).

[flexcoders] Passing variables to HTTPService

[oneworld95]

Hi. How do you pass variables to an HTTPService call so that they can
be read by Java? I've got this working with a URLRequest by using
URLVariables but can't seem to get it working with an HTTPService.
Here's my code,

var params:Object = new Object();
params.serviceType = "INITIALIZE"; 

service.send(params);

In the servlet, it's got this code in the doPost() method,

serviceType = request.getParameterValues("serviceType")[0];

It throws Error #2032: Stream Error. It wasn't throwing this until I
added the service parameter. The servlet generates XML data and Flex
is expecting E4X data. Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: How can I stop my HTTPService?

[nathanpdaniel]

Why don't you move the HTTPService inside the Module?  I think that 
would simplify development, make it stronger (it can stand on it's 
own...sorta) and easier to maintain.  Then, you wouldn't really have 
the current issues you're having... Just a thought! :D

RE: [flexcoders] reload app by refreshing browser increased memory usage

[Alex Harui]

I'm sure you realize that having an app reload unexpectedly could annoy users.  
A well-designed app should never run out of memory.  Have you tried using the 
profiler to control memory usage?  This post can help you get better results 
from the profiler and explains how to measure memory: 
http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/09/using_the_flex_builder_3x_prof.html

If your app is trying to save some state across the reload, I would look for 
issues there first, but I would also test a simple "hello world" app to see if 
you see memory increases during a reload of that app.  Also try minimizing the 
browser and restoring it.  It maybe the browser itself isn't cleaning up.

Hi all:

everytime user fresh browser to reload our app, the FlashPlayer used
memory will increase around 20MB.

is that how the flash player works, or is this a bug of our app?

What we want to do is reducing the memory usage by reloading the app
when the app detect that it has touched a predefined max memory.

pls share some light, not sure how to figure out this problem.

[flexcoders] Re: AdvancedDataGrid update problems

[kallebertell]

I finally managed to reproduce the bug (or one of the bugs).

By scrolling to the very bottom and sorting according to any column,
it seems to sort, but the last items seen in the grid shouldn't be
last. Turns out the grid just hasn't updated the view properly or too
early somehow.

A delayed call to invalidateList after sorting seems at first to fix
this, but it's possible to get the grid into an invalid state despite
this.

Dispatching a reset event seemed better. Would be nice to figure out
the cause since this bandage solution hurts my eyes.

Thanks Alex for your reply, :(

RE: [flexcoders] Problem displaying UIComponents in Sprite

[Alex Harui]

Sprite is a flash.* class.  So is TextField.  The mx.* classes have some rules:

Navigator children must be Containers
Container children must be IUIComponents
UIComponent parents must be IUIComponents

Hi,

I am stuck in a strange problem. Anyone can help me with this?: Why
can't I get the TextArea to display correct in a Sprite container 

This is my code ...

var text:TextArea = new TextArea();
text.height = 500;
text.width = 200;
text.text = " ... anything in TextArea... ";
text.x = 10;
text.y = 10;

var field:TextField = new TextField();
field.height = 20;
field.width = 200;
field.text = " ... anything in TextField... ";
field.x = 5;
field.y = 5;

var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
sprite.addChild(text);
sprite.addChild(field);

this.addChild(sprite);

Where "this" is a class that extends from Sprite

The textField was display, but the textArea wasn't. I have the same
problem with other components that extends from UIComponent class.

Any suggestion? Thanks,

Juan

Re: [flexcoders] Disable Right-Click during Drag

You can disable the menu full stop.

Enter it in bugs.adobe.com, but don't be surprised if it's closed as 'wont 
fix' because there are 'issues' with allowing the menu to be removed (like 
spoofing the menu to do something horrible).

Well, not for me, but I get to choose my own laptop and config. :-)

That sounds like an application bug though.

[flexcoders] Flex application keyboard language!?

[joyfulrodger]

Hi there,

Im sure this is a fairly simple issue to resolve, but i just cant 
seem to get it. 

The text inputs within my flex application have the at(@) sign and 
the quotation mark(") sign mixed up. When i press ctrl 2 i get the @ 
sign when i should be getting the quotation marks and vice versa.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Many thanks,

Dave


P.S. Its not an issue with my operating system, i am using the 
correct keyboard layout. Other flex applications i have developed 
dont have this issue.

[flexcoders] Specfic numbers for LCDS server usage

[Gregor Kiddie]

Afternoon (at least here it is!) all,

 

I'm trying to hunt down some specific numbers for LCDS to satisfy our
ravenous deployment team.

 

Mainly what is the memory usage when a client registers / de-registers
with a topic?

In other words what exactly is persisted on the server (within LCDS) per
client connection to satisfy Data Services?

 

Other related questions,

How much data is persisted per user and how much of this is copied
between the servers in a cluster?

 

Gk.

Re: [flexcoders] States and removechild in actionscript 3.0

[Rob Kunkle]

Instead of remove child, have you considered just making the component  
invisible or visible?


I did something like this using actionscript code, I realize this code  
is pretty ugly, but it should give you an idea.


Basically I'm creating the states in actionscript as I loop through  
XML. (In this application the information needed for creating the  
components is stored in the XML). There are four control buttons that  
might or might not be displayed displayed depending on where the user  
is while they are paging through the application.


There might be a much easier way for you to do this, but I just wanted  
to put this out there and show that it is possible to build states  
programatically, and push properties onto the states programatically.


Rob


public function httpResult(event:ResultEvent):void {

states = new Array;
productXML = event.result as XML;

for each (var templateXML:XML in productXML.template ) {

//create a new state for each template view
var templateCount:int = productXML.template.length();
state = new State();
state.name = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
			state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(mainPanel ,"title",  
[EMAIL PROTECTED]));


tp = new TemplatePage();

//single page design
if (templateXML.childIndex()==0 && templateCount==1){

state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnCancel, 
"visible", true));
state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnNext,   
"visible", false));
state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnPrevious, 	"visible",  
false));

state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnDone,   
"visible", true));


}
//this is the first page of a multipage design

else if (templateXML.childIndex()==0 && templateCount 
>1){

state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnCancel, 
"visible", true));
state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnNext,   
"visible", true));
state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnPrevious, 	"visible",  
false));

state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnDone,   
"visible", false));

}

/this is the last page of a multipage design
			else if (templateXML.childIndex() > 0 && templateXML.childIndex()  
== templateCount -1 ) {


state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnCancel, 
"visible", false));
state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnNext,   
"visible", false));
state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnPrevious, 	"visible",  
true));

state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnDone,

//its just a page in the middle
} else {
state.overrides.push(new SetProperty(btnCancel,

[flexcoders] Re: Flash player 10 required for my swf?

[valdhor]

My guess is that the users seeing this message have Flash 9.0.115 (Or
less Installed).

The wrapper sees that the SWF needs 9.0.124 (Or later) so the user
needs an upgrade. It then asks the server what the latest version of
the player is, finds out it is 10 and tells the user he needs to
update to 10.

Of course, I could be wrong - I was wrong once before I think ;-)

[flexcoders] sqlite insert issue

[Johannes Nel]

Hi All
I have a sql statement which runs sans any issues in my sqlite viewer, but
when executed from within air it gives me the error
SQLError: 'Error #3132: Data type mismatch.', details:'could not convert
text value to numeric value.'
this is the table schema
CREATE TABLE category (
id bigint NOT NULL,
"version" integer NOT NULL,
name character varying(255),
ordering integer NOT NULL,
"external" boolean NOT NULL,
createddate timestamp without time zone,
modifieddate timestamp without time zone,
createdby_id bigint,
modifiedby_id bigint
);
and here is the sql statement
insert into category(id, version, name, ordering, external, createddate,
modifieddate, createdby_id, modifiedby_id) values
(477,14,'Leads',0,'false',NULL,'2008-08-19 16:46:54.26',NULL,1109);

any ideas?
i find it really weird that this works on a SQLite level, but not from AS.

[flexcoders] Getting the selected text from HTML control

[b_alen]

Hi everybody, is there a way to get the selected text out of the HTML

and copy the selection to clipboard?

Cheers!

[flexcoders] States and removechild in actionscript 3.0

[flexcoders] reload app by refreshing browser increased memory usage

[kkkenio]

Hi all:

everytime user fresh browser to reload our app, the FlashPlayer used
memory will increase around 20MB.

is that how the flash player works, or is this a bug of our app?

What we want to do is reducing the memory usage by reloading the app
when the app detect that it has touched a predefined max memory.

pls share some light, not sure how to figure out this problem.

[flexcoders] Getting data out of a FileSystemTree

[Anthony Bouvier]

I have a simple AIR app where you can drag a folder on to it and it
populates a FileSystemTree.

var files:Array =
e.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT) as Array;
myTree.directory = files[0];

Now that that has happened, I'd love to be able to get the tree
structure back out in say an XMLList or anything "savable" really.

I can create my own recursive function to do this, but I'd really
rather not.  Seems to me that if the FileSystemTree can take an
XMLList as its input, it should be able to output one as well.

Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Problem displaying UIComponents in Sprite

[Juan Andres]

Hi,

I am stuck in a strange problem. Anyone can help me with this?: Why
can't I get the TextArea to display correct in a Sprite container 

This is my code ...

var text:TextArea = new TextArea();
text.height = 500;
text.width = 200;
text.text = " ... anything in TextArea... ";
text.x = 10;
text.y = 10;

var field:TextField = new TextField();
field.height = 20;
field.width = 200;
field.text = " ... anything in TextField... ";
field.x = 5;
field.y = 5;

var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
sprite.addChild(text);
sprite.addChild(field);

this.addChild(sprite);

Where "this" is a class that extends from Sprite

The textField was display, but the textArea wasn't. I have the same
problem with other components that extends from UIComponent class.

Any suggestion? Thanks,

Juan

[flexcoders] Bandwidth limitation

[Alexandre Conrad]

Hello,

I'm writing an application in AIR with which I need to control bandwidth 
usage during HTTP file transfers (download). Although, I'm not too sure 
how this can be achieved.

- I looked at URLLoader but it doesn't allow me to control when bytes 
are read.
- I looked at the lower level URLStream object, which looks pretty good 
to me according to the method readBytes() I could call whenever needed 
to retrieve the data from the stream. But I've seen no case where I can 
use that method readBytes(). Loading the URLStream with a URLRequest 
object would automatically start the download, as does URLLoader. Which 
I don't want. I want to control when to read bytes from the stream.
- I looked at Socket as well, but this is too low level, I'd need to 
implement all the HTTP mechanism.

Any ideas ? Thanks.

Regards,
Alex

Re: [flexcoders] Re: palin text printing in flex without dialogue box.

[Paul Andrews]

I haven't needed to solve this problem in Flex, but it was a problem (in 
another life) with some other software that I used. I know that if we were 
building the system using Flex, our solution would work just as well.

In essence we had an intranet based environment with networked printers (dot 
matrix printers used for label printing, including barcodes) talking to a 
Unix based server. The unix boxes were able to transfer data directly to the 
printers by using remote copy (rcp). The client server software would create 
the data to be passed to the printer - send it to the server, and the server 
would rcp the data directly to the printer. It worked like a charm and is 
still working.

This requires a carefully controlled environment and information about the 
printers involved and their network paths.

[flexcoders] Re: palin text printing in flex without dialogue box.

[andrii_olefirenko]

No, it's not possible in Flex (security restriction)
and I guess the same for Air, but I saw Air application that managed
to programmatically "click" Print button using some external software
(it was kiosk application)

[flexcoders] Re: AdvancedDataGrid update problems

[kallebertell]

I'll speculate openly in case someone picks up on this.

Could there be some sort of race condition in the way AdvancedDataGrid
works. Ie. redraws or updates the scroll bar too early in reaction to
sorting? (ie. before the collection has had a chance to finish sorting
itself)

Is this kind of bug even possible in the flash runtime, keeping in
mind that it is single-threaded?
