[flexcoders] Tree updateList() not updating top level
I have a component extending Tree and I use a custom ITreeDataDescriptor since I want to filter the visible nodes. I also use showRoot=false. When changes are made to the underlying data model (dataProvider) I call updateList(). This works fine for all but the top level items. If I add/remove a child directly under the root node this change is not then displayed in the tree. It appears updateList() starts from the top level items in the tree - i.e. it does not start by calling ITreeDataDescriptor.getChildren(rootNode). If I set showRoot=true, then everything works fine - but I don't want to show the root... Any ideas? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tree-updateList%28%29-not-updating-top-level-tp20596892p20596892.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[flexcoders] Re: JavaFX and Flex how do we compare?
I'd say that Flash Catalyst (previously Thermo) will play a key role in bridging the gap between designers and developers. I've been looking forward to a tool like this for years and the Catalyst demo video looks good. The FXG roundtrip format is a great idea too and is similiar in thinking as Autodesk's FBX format that allows data transfer between its suite of applications like Motion Builder, 3DS MAX and Maya. .rex --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Chet Haase [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would be curious to find out how others view the platforms, especially from the standpoint of external application developers, but having been on the inside of both of these projects, here are some points of comparison. I'm attempting to be objective here and just point out some of the areas to consider. But since I used to work at Sun on Java/JavaFX and now work on the Flex team at Adobe you should filter appropriately. - Maturity: One of the reasons that you haven't heard much about JavaFX to date is that it's actually not yet released. Supposedly this will happen in the very near future, so maybe we'll all hear more about it at that time. - Language: Although many of the underlying capabilities of JavaFX rely on the Java SE platform, JavaFX itself is based on a new scripting language (not Java, not JavaScript, not ActionScript, but a new scripting language entirely). One notable differences between the languages of JavaFX and Flex is that Flex uses MXML for its declarative aspects, and ActionScript for the programmatic aspects. The JavaFX language combines both of these elements, having aspects of declarative and programmatic in the same code. - GUI capabilities: Both platforms offer GUI components, graphics, animation, and databinding capabilities, thought the platforms differ widely in syntax and capabilities of these different features. - Tooling: Most of the tooling so far announced for JavaFX are more on the code developer side; editing plugins for NetBeans, plus export plugins for Illustrator and Photoshop (they produce PNG files from the layers in the project). On the Flex side, there's the FlexBuilder IDE and the in-development tools such as Flash Catalyst for designer/developer workflows and FXG roundtrip import/export from/to the CS tools including Catalys for the graphics tags in the Gumbo release of the SDK. - Runtime availability: The availability of the JavaFX runtime is basically that of the Java platform (if a user's machine does not have the proper release of Java (I believe it will require the latest updated 10 release), they will need to download/install it). The availability of Flex is basically that of the Flash platform of the appropriate version (e.g., Gumbo will run on FlashPlayer 10). Chet.

[flexcoders] Re: Alex et al, Could this be a bug in the AdvancedDataGridBaseEx? WAS- Strange ADG error on deleting entire nodes at once...
Hi, Adrian,
Wow. That's a doozey of an issue. When you're on the bleeding edge,
you tend to bleed a lot. My recent experience with the ADG wasn't
pretty or pleasant, and I bled a lot. But by posting to this group and
various blogs, I found kind souls who helped and finally, through
trial-and-error, found the solution.
Some thoughts on the problem,
- Could it be that after the first (and each) delete, you might need
to refresh your dataprovider for the ADG? It might be worth a try.
- I know the myADG.invalidateDisplayList() helped a lot. It forced
the ADG to fetch the latest data. I overrode the set data() method in
the itemRenderer. No explicit validateDisplayList() method.
- I also used the myADG.invalidateList() elsewhere when the screen
wasn't refreshing.
As Alex Harui suggested, do a debug build and post the entire stack
trace with the linenumbers here. Good luck :)

Ok, I have spent the morning pouring through the debugging trying to
figure out what this error is and am completely stymied. I have been
able to determine it has nothing to do with my delete functions...the
code never makes it to them anyway...I suspect it may be a bug in the
core AdvancedDataGridBaseEx code. The actions that are being done are:
1.) A user drags a grouped node off the 6-column ADG to the trash can
image on the app control bar...
mx:Image source={trashImage} right=80
buttonMode=true
toolTip=drag a subgroup here to delete them from the project
dragDrop=deleteSubgroupDrop(event)
dragEnter=deleteSubgroupEnter(event) id=image2/
2.) my drag manager is listening and accepts the dragEnter:
private function deleteSubgroupEnter(evt:DragEvent):void
{
var obj:IUIComponent = IUIComponent(evt.currentTarget);
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(obj);
}
2.) and then accepts the dragDrop. On the drop, I am throwing an alert
box up to confirm that the user wants to do this:
private function deleteSubgroupDrop(event:DragEvent):void
{
partsToDelete = new Array;
partsToDelete = currentSubgroups.selectedItems;
subgroupToRemove =
currentSubgroups.selectedItem.GroupLabel;
alert.confirm(Are you sure you want to delete this
subgroup: ' + subgroupToRemove +
' from the project?? This cannot be reversed!!,
deleteSubgroupAction);
}
3.) When it hits the alert box, the code then jumps into the core to
render the alert box. The code eventually ends up in the
LayoutManager.as code on line 592, function validateDisplayList():void.
4.) The logic steps thru all of the objects that are on the stage and
for each of them calls the obj.validateDisplayList(); function. All
goes
well until it gets to my ADG. Via the validate leg, it goes to the
ADGBaseEx.as code to the function
commitEditedItemPosition(coord:Object):void. During the course of this
function, the columnIndex is manhandled all over the place.
Eventually,
it gets to line 4406 where it is checking:
if(colIndex lockedColumnCount)
and passes this check, stepping to the next line of
if (colIndex horizontalScrollPosition + lockedColumnCount)
which fails, then executing a loop against the colIndex. Once the
loop is completed, the final line
actualColIndex =
absoluteToVisibleColumnIndex(displayToAbsoluteColumnIndex(colIndex));
is called, which is on line 7164 of the AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as
code. Within this function is a single method:
return displayableColumns[columnIndex].colNum;
As I stepped thru the code, I watched the values. columnIndex == 6
and on the execution of this line, the error is thrown. When I hover
the mouse over the components of the line, I get tooltips on
displayableColumns (Array displayableColumns -
mx.controls.AdvancedDataGridBaseEx) and over [columnIndex] (columnIndex
= 6). However, when I hover over the .colNum...I get nothing. In this
case, the error is:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
I am really hoping that someone, especially Alex or the like, can
provide some insight to what the heck is happening here because I
really, really need to get past this error.

When you set something to be called by using callLater, it will get added to a queue that will get processed at the handler for the Event.RENDER event, which will run as the last possible moment before the player runs a screen update. yes i know about this. but it could happen that the queue cannot be completely precessed in one frame and then it will be delayed to the next frame (as far as i understood it). we have the problem that a ui is rendered while a lot of other things are going on at the application. so the flex framework calls internally callLater() The framework will use callLater for it's validation cycles (again, it does nothing then except adding the function and arguments to a queue to be run later); hopefully it will clear out all the invalidations before it draws the frame, again, on it's handler for the RENDER event, but if something goes wrong or something is not well designed and something gets invalidated again then, it will try to figure it out on the ENTER_FRAME handler on the next frame (that is, it will draw the current frame without processing what has just been added to the queue) because there's nothing you can do after the RENDER handler gets run. This goes on, going from ENTER_FRAME to RENDERER handlers until nothing is dirty. thanks for the detailed explanation! there could be some potential for performance loss because of unnecessary invalidations. i have to check the code if this could be the case. to avoid the performance peak. but we need to know when the rendering of the ui is acually done, because some animation starts after rendering. now it seems that the creationComplete event if fired at some point, but the ui is not rendered fully but is delayed (depending on the target machines speed) CREATION_COMPLETE is dispatched from a UIComponent (or one of it's subclasses, of course) after it's initialization phase has completed. That is, when the parent of your component has added your component, it will run initialize, that will make your component dispatch PREINITIALIZE, then your createChildren() method will be run. A first pass at invalidateProperties, invalidateSize and invalidateDisplay list will be run, and INITIALIZE will be dispatched. Only after the LayoutManager has completely cleared out your invalidations (only when your properties, size and layout have been processed completely that first time) will your component dispatch CREATION_COMPLETE. it seems for me that CREATION_COMPLETE is fired when the code like you discribe but because some execution could be delayed due the internal handling of callLater() it is unpredictable to say when the view is rendered completely. but as i mentioned before the updateComplete from the LayoutManager seems to be the solution. for a certain time. is this assumption correct? is there an event or another way how to gat the point when there is no more code to be executed which is delayed via callLater()? so far i understand callLater() it introduces a If you're using call later yourself for your own methods, you shouldn't have any problems assuming that what you send it will get called before the current frame is rendered.

[flexcoders] Tree collapsing when I expand the parent container
Hi, I'm building an AIR app and I'm having problems with one of my UIs. I have an advanced datagrid and I'm using an item renderer for one of the columns. The renderer is a vbox and inside this I have a tree control to display the data. I was having problems getting the datagrid row to expand when I expand the trees in the renderer. I figured I just needed to change the height of the Vbox when ItemOpen is fired on the tree E.G. itemOpen=openHeight(event) In openHeight() I can calculate the number of children of the open branch and then change the height of the vbox using this.height. Everything expands ok but the problem is that the tree collapses for some unknown reason. I guess that resizing the VBox is collapsing the tree somehow but I dont know how to stop it! Any help would be much appreciated. thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tree-collapsing-when-I-expand-the-parent-container-tp20601061p20601061.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I'm attempting to be objective here and just point out some of the areas to consider. But since I used to work at Sun on Java/JavaFX and now work on the Flex team at Adobe you should filter appropriately. - Maturity: One of the reasons that you haven't heard much about JavaFX to date is that it's actually not yet released. Supposedly this will happen in the very near future, so maybe we'll all hear more about it at that time. - Language: Although many of the underlying capabilities of JavaFX rely on the Java SE platform, JavaFX itself is based on a new scripting language (not Java, not JavaScript, not ActionScript, but a new scripting language entirely). One notable differences between the languages of JavaFX and Flex is that Flex uses MXML for its declarative aspects, and ActionScript for the programmatic aspects. The JavaFX language combines both of these elements, having aspects of declarative and programmatic in the same code. - GUI capabilities: Both platforms offer GUI components, graphics, animation, and databinding capabilities, thought the platforms differ widely in syntax and capabilities of these different features. - Tooling: Most of the tooling so far announced for JavaFX are more on the code developer side; editing plugins for NetBeans, plus export plugins for Illustrator and Photoshop (they produce PNG files from the layers in the project). On the Flex side, there's the FlexBuilder IDE and the in-development tools such as Flash Catalyst for designer/developer workflows and FXG roundtrip import/export from/to the CS tools including Catalys for the graphics tags in the Gumbo release of the SDK. - Runtime availability: The availability of the JavaFX runtime is basically that of the Java platform (if a user's machine does not have the proper release of Java (I believe it will require the latest updated 10 release), they will need to download/install it). The availability of Flex is basically that of the Flash platform of the appropriate version (e.g., Gumbo will run on FlashPlayer 10). Chet.

hi everyone,
i have a few parts of my app where there are composite components that
create their own children, when i use an accordion for example (but it
happens in many places), and create the children with script- the container
holding the accordion scrolls, not the accordion children themselves- for
example:
mx:Panel width=100%
mx:Accordion id=questionAccordion width=100% height=100%
/mx:Accordion
/mx:Panel
i'm expecting the accordion to take up the full available space in the
panel.
then i add children to the accordion
private function init():void
{
for(var i:Number=0;ipage.questions.length;i++){
var q1:Question = new Question();
q1.question = page.questions[i];
q1.editable = editable;
q1.percentWidth = 100;
questionAccordion.addChild(q1);
}
}
what happens is the bottom of the accordion is now cut off and u have to
scroll the panel to see it, because the created childrens' contents are
taller than the viewable area. I want the accordion to take up 100% height
like i told it and the inner contents of the accordion to scroll if they are
too tall. i hope that all made sense, it's really frustrating and kinda
hard to explain.
thanks,
d.
Re: [flexcoders] Tree updateList() not updating top level
My current workaround is to reset the dataprovider when a node at the top level (level below the root) is added/removed. This is not ideal because then all the open items are reset to closed. This can be more or less worked around too - but its not great. On another note, rather than calling Tree.updateList(), what if you just want to redraw one item in the tree. I looked on the itemRenderer class but couldnt find anything that worked for me. Mark Carter wrote: I have a component extending Tree and I use a custom ITreeDataDescriptor since I want to filter the visible nodes. I also use showRoot=false. When changes are made to the underlying data model (dataProvider) I call updateList(). This works fine for all but the top level items. If I add/remove a child directly under the root node this change is not then displayed in the tree. It appears updateList() starts from the top level items in the tree - i.e. it does not start by calling ITreeDataDescriptor.getChildren(rootNode). If I set showRoot=true, then everything works fine - but I don't want to show the root...

[flexcoders] strange warning: Class already marked[Bindable]; property-level [Bindable]
Class already marked[Bindable]; property-level [Bindable] is redundant

Is it better/ more appropriate to mark the fields/properties as

Hi, Adrian,
Wow. That's a doozey of an issue. When you're on the bleeding edge,
you tend to bleed a lot. My recent experience with the ADG wasn't
pretty or pleasant, and I bled a lot. But by posting to this group and
various blogs, I found kind souls who helped and finally, through
trial-and-error, found the solution.
Some thoughts on the problem,
- Could it be that after the first (and each) delete, you might need
to refresh your dataprovider for the ADG? It might be worth a try.
- I know the myADG.invalidateDisplayList() helped a lot. It forced
the ADG to fetch the latest data. I overrode the set data() method in
the itemRenderer. No explicit validateDisplayList() method.
- I also used the myADG.invalidateList() elsewhere when the screen
wasn't refreshing.
As Alex Harui suggested, do a debug build and post the entire stack
trace with the linenumbers here. Good luck :)

Ok, I have spent the morning pouring through the debugging trying to
figure out what this error is and am completely stymied. I have been
able to determine it has nothing to do with my delete functions...the
code never makes it to them anyway...I suspect it may be a bug in the
core AdvancedDataGridBaseEx code. The actions that are being done are:
1.) A user drags a grouped node off the 6-column ADG to the trash can
image on the app control bar...
mx:Image source={trashImage} right=80
buttonMode=true
toolTip=drag a subgroup here to delete them from the project
dragDrop=deleteSubgroupDrop(event)
dragEnter=deleteSubgroupEnter(event) id=image2/
2.) my drag manager is listening and accepts the dragEnter:
private function deleteSubgroupEnter(evt:DragEvent):void
{
var obj:IUIComponent = IUIComponent(evt.currentTarget);
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(obj);
}
2.) and then accepts the dragDrop. On the drop, I am throwing an alert
box up to confirm that the user wants to do this:
private function deleteSubgroupDrop(event:DragEvent):void
{
partsToDelete = new Array;
partsToDelete = currentSubgroups.selectedItems;
subgroupToRemove =
currentSubgroups.selectedItem.GroupLabel;
alert.confirm(Are you sure you want to delete this
subgroup: ' + subgroupToRemove +
' from the project?? This cannot be reversed!!,
deleteSubgroupAction);
}
3.) When it hits the alert box, the code then jumps into the core to
render the alert box. The code eventually ends up in the
LayoutManager.as code on line 592, function validateDisplayList():void.
4.) The logic steps thru all of the objects that are on the stage and
for each of them calls the obj.validateDisplayList(); function. All
goes
well until it gets to my ADG. Via the validate leg, it goes to the
ADGBaseEx.as code to the function
commitEditedItemPosition(coord:Object):void. During the course of this
function, the columnIndex is manhandled all over the place.
Eventually,
it gets to line 4406 where it is checking:
if(colIndex lockedColumnCount)
and passes this check, stepping to the next line of
if (colIndex horizontalScrollPosition + lockedColumnCount)
which fails, then executing a loop against the colIndex. Once the
loop is completed, the final line
actualColIndex =
absoluteToVisibleColumnIndex(displayToAbsoluteColumnIndex(colIndex));
is called, which is on line 7164 of the AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as
code. Within this function is a single method:
return displayableColumns[columnIndex].colNum;
As I stepped thru the code, I watched the values. columnIndex == 6
and on the execution of this line, the error is thrown. When I hover
the mouse over the components of the line, I get tooltips on
displayableColumns (Array displayableColumns -
mx.controls.AdvancedDataGridBaseEx) and over [columnIndex] (columnIndex
= 6). However, when I hover over the .colNum...I get nothing. In this
case, the error is:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
I am really hoping that someone, especially Alex or the like, can
provide some insight to what the heck is happening here because I
really, really need to get past this error.
Best,

Theoretically, one could control scrollbars by thoroughly understanding

Re: [flexcoders] nested containers, forcing inner contents to scroll
i think it has to do with the accordion rendering its height according to
its first child, there is a parameter that lets you change this, but cannot

RE: [flexcoders] nested containers, forcing inner contents to scroll
...panels and canvases act very differently... Primarily I expect in

Ok, I have spent the morning pouring through the debugging trying to
figure out what this error is and am completely stymied. I have been
able to determine it has nothing to do with my delete
functions...the
code never makes it to them anyway...I suspect it may be a bug
in the
core AdvancedDataGridBaseEx code. The actions that are being
done are:
1.) A user drags a grouped node off the 6-column ADG to the
trash can
image on the app control bar...
mx:Image source={trashImage} right=80
buttonMode=true
toolTip=drag a subgroup here to delete them from the project
dragDrop=deleteSubgroupDrop(event)
dragEnter=deleteSubgroupEnter(event) id=image2/
2.) my drag manager is listening and accepts the dragEnter:
private function deleteSubgroupEnter(evt:DragEvent):void
{
var obj:IUIComponent = IUIComponent(evt.currentTarget);
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(obj);
}
2.) and then accepts the dragDrop. On the drop, I am throwing an
alert
box up to confirm that the user wants to do this:
private function deleteSubgroupDrop(event:DragEvent):void
{
partsToDelete = new Array;
partsToDelete = currentSubgroups.selectedItems;
subgroupToRemove =
currentSubgroups.selectedItem.GroupLabel;
alert.confirm(Are you sure you want to delete this
subgroup: ' + subgroupToRemove +
' from the project?? This cannot be reversed!!,
deleteSubgroupAction);
}
3.) When it hits the alert box, the code then jumps into the core to
render the alert box. The code eventually ends up in the
LayoutManager.as code on line 592, function
validateDisplayList():void.
4.) The logic steps thru all of the objects that are on the
stage and
for each of them calls the obj.validateDisplayList(); function. All
goes
well until it gets to my ADG. Via the validate leg, it goes to the
ADGBaseEx.as code to the function
commitEditedItemPosition(coord:Object):void. During the course
of this
function, the columnIndex is manhandled all over the place.
Eventually,
it gets to line 4406 where it is checking:
if(colIndex lockedColumnCount)
and passes this check, stepping to the next line of
if (colIndex horizontalScrollPosition + lockedColumnCount)
which fails, then executing a loop against the colIndex. Once the
loop is completed, the final line
actualColIndex =
absoluteToVisibleColumnIndex(displayToAbsoluteColumnIndex(colIndex));
is called, which is on line 7164 of the AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as
code. Within this function is a single method:
return displayableColumns[columnIndex].colNum;
As I stepped thru the code, I watched the values. columnIndex == 6
and on the execution of this line, the error is thrown. When I hover
the mouse over the components of the line, I get tooltips on
displayableColumns (Array displayableColumns -
mx.controls.AdvancedDataGridBaseEx) and over [columnIndex]
(columnIndex
= 6). However, when I hover over the .colNum...I get nothing. In
this
case, the error is:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
I am really hoping that someone, especially Alex or the like, can
provide some insight to
[flexcoders] appending to a dataprovider in actionscript
I am still trying to iron out the problems with data binding in actionscript an
server push. If I just replace the old
array with a new one, it updates ok, but when I append to an array, it doesn't
seem to work.
I have to do everything in actionscript. I set up the data binding like this.
BindingUtils.bindProperty(lineSeries, dataProvider, ser, pointList);
Here is the way I'm currently trying to append the new data and catch the
error, but this does not work.
// oldArray is the same as pointlist from the data binding line of code above
for (var i:int = 0; inewArray.length; i++) {
oldArray.addItem(newArray.getItemAt(i));
}
What's more, because the app is fired remotedly from a server process, I can't
trace or run it in debug mode to find
out why it's failing. Usually, I'll throw in an Alert.show to find out if the
data is messed up or a variable is null, but
when I do it after running this loop, the Alert just hangs the whole
application. Is there anyway to throw an error to
a popup box (flash seems to do this from time to time on its own)
And one final related question. If I do get the new arrays to work, will the
charts labels and range adjust
accordingly. In other words, if the original array was from Mon-Wed, if the
new data is on Thurs, will the chart auto
adjust properly to show the new data?

Yeah. Post this to the JIRA, or else Adobe probably won't get it. I already created an issue that deals with the problems with HTML text in Flash Player. You can either add this to mine or create your own, but be sure you do post on JIRA.

[flexcoders] dragging an object with a mask
I have a UIComponent(snowGlobe) with a mask applied. Using the UIComponent I drew a circle and added it to the application. I then applied a circular Sprite mask(msk). This works perfectly. Now whenever an object is moved outside of the UIComponent it is not displayed(ie. snow in a snowglobe). I run into trouble when I try to drag the UIComponent. When I do this, the UIComponent, and its children, drag, but the Sprite I have set as a mask does not. If I call .startDrag() on the mask at the same time I do on the UIComponent, it doesn't allow me to drag anymore. I have tried things like this.. BindingUtils.bindProperty(msk,'x',snowGlobe,'x'); BindingUtils.bindProperty(msk,'y',snowGlobe,'y'); but that doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone help me out with being able to drag a UIComponent and its mask at the same time? I thought I should be able to remove and reapply the mask as the component is dragging, but I'm not sure where to do that at, or how to get the x and y values of the component being dragged. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

RE: [flexcoders] appending to a dataprovider in actionscript
Use trace() to debug instead of Alert. Using Alert can cause UI/focus
problems in some circumstances.
Also, have you tried using ChangeWatcher instead of bindProperty? It
might be easier to debug, since you can verify if/when the handler is
called. In the handler, directly assign the dataProvider property.
Using addItem() *should* cause the necessary events to be dispatched.
BTW, you are using an ArrayCollection, not an Array. There is a
significant difference.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Alex et al, Could this be a bug in the AdvancedDataGridBaseEx? WAS- Strange ADG error on deleting entire nodes at once...
Thanks for the link Alex
I am quite familiar with the flex builder debugger and have used it
extensively...in fact used it to help nail down where the problem was
occurring and why.
As fate would have it, the error is now gone. My coding partner and
I both merged in some changes we were making to that particular ADG
(persisting re-ordering nodes via drag and drop and adding another
column to the grid) and something we've done has made this error
disappear...when we get a breathe, we'll take a look at what we did to
see if we can figure out what made the error disappear.
I can post the code for the page in here if that's what would
help...but keep in mind it's a couple thousand lines...
Finally, here is the stack dump that is created when the exception
was thrown:

various blogs, I found kind souls who helped and finally, through

Some thoughts on the problem,
- Could it be that after the first (and each) delete, you might need
to refresh your dataprovider for the ADG? It might be worth a try.
- I know the myADG.invalidateDisplayList() helped a lot. It forced

Someone that managed to solve this ? Looks like a lot of people have

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Text Layout Framework in Flex 4
I'm having discussions with the TLF team about making FlowElements such as span understand CSS styles. I agree that this would be very useful. (In current Gumbo builds, CSS styles are applied at the level of a TextGraphic or TextView to determine the default formatting; they can't be used with individual FlowElements within the TextFlow.) However, this is a somewhat complicated design problem because TLF must be usable either with or without the Flex framework. So it can't require Flex's CSS subsystem, but should be able to take advantage of it if it is present. So the bottom line is that what you ask for is our goal, but it isn't a definite Gumbo feature yet. Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ethan Miller Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 9:57 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Text Layout Framework in Flex 4 Id' like to add to this request list the ability to have html tags (in htmlText) be sensitive to both CSS Element and class selectors such that I could use span class=fooarbitrarily styled text string/span... cheers, ethan Gordon Smith recently responded to a TextArea HTML text issue and he stated: Adobe is developing a new Text Layout Framework (TLF) which works with the new Flash Text Engine (FTE) APIs in Player 10. (It will be used in Flex 4.) TLF will not support all of HTML, but it will be more capable than TextField's htmlText. I don't know what features are slated for TLF, but I'd like to put in a plug for some features that I desparately need in my work at customizing a TextArea/TextField component. 1) Better support for filtering keystrokes. We should have the ability to filter (call event.preventDefault() or equivalent) in the keyDownHandler() function. This allows to avoid the stupid hack of working around DELETE, BACKSPACE and keyboard navigation keys not being cancelable. 2) More control over copy/paste to clipboard. I recently posted an issue where if you set the htmlText property, copy to the clipboard loses all line breaks (unless I explicitly use br/). Ideally, there'd be an event or protected overridable function that indicates we're trying to do a copy/paste. 3) Ability to represent custom HTML tags or custom HTML attributes in a standard tag. I tried to store some metadata inside a FONT tag using a custom attribute, but I found that when I set the htmlText, and then examined the htmlText property after the set, the whole markup had been altered and normalized, losing my custom attributes. It would be nice if this normalization did not occur. 4) Better support for caret to coordinates functions. There is a getCharBoundaries() function, but that returns a rectangle in virtual coordinates that does not account for the scroll positions. Adjusting for the horizontal scroll position is fairly easy because that is measured in pixels, but the vertical scroll position is measured in lines and calculating the correct viewport position is non-trivial and expensive (there are some posts on how to do this). Not to mention the fact that getCharBoundaries() returns null if the char is at EOL or in an empty line. This support is incomplete. Just adding a function like getCoordinatesAtCharIndex(charIndex:int):Point would help, or something similar to that. 5) A function get get the caret Index within the htmlText would also be useful, or more generally, getCharIndexInHtmlText (charIndex:int):int where charIndex is the character index in the raw text property. Thanks for your attention, Pete

Need to move some mxml components to AS, and was doing fine with the as RemoteObject until I found it has no endpoint attribute. This is done with a channelSet object looked at the generated AS from my RemoteObject.mxml, and the channelSet stuff looks gnarly. Am I better off using a mxml RemoteObject in a parent container and then passing the data to the AS pallette components, or shall I try and work out how to code an actionscript channelSet object? TIA, Mic.

Re: [flexcoders] appending to a dataprovider in actionscript
A quick solution would probablt be to receive the new data, clone the old
array, append the new data to the cloned array and reasign the bound array
to the clonned array (It might not be the best solution but I have noticed
that the easiest way to solve bonding problems is to reasign the array...)
On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 11:25 PM, Tracy Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote:
Use trace() to debug instead of Alert. Using Alert can cause UI/focus
problems in some circumstances.
Also, have you tried using ChangeWatcher instead of bindProperty? It might
be easier to debug, since you can verify if/when the handler is called. In
the handler, directly assign the dataProvider property.
Using addItem() **should** cause the necessary events to be dispatched.
BTW, you are using an ArrayCollection, not an Array. There is a
significant difference.

can't trace or run it in debug mode to find

the data is messed up or a variable is null, but
when I do it after running this loop, the Alert just hangs the whole

[flexcoders] ImageSnapshot.captureBitmapData with transparency on Windows (Vista)
Hi all, I've noticed that using ImageSnapshot.captureBitmapData on Windows with a component that has a transparent background returns a bitmap that has a solid black fill where it should be transparent, whereas on Mac OS X it correctly captures the transparency. Does anyone know if there is any way to get the capture on Windows to honour the transparency, or am I going to have to keep on temporarily setting the background of the component to white (so it'll at least print nicely) before the capture? Is there maybe a way to use ImageSnapshot.captureImage with PNG encoding and then convert the result to BitmapData for later setting to the Clipboard? Thanks in advance for any help.

[flexcoders] Tooltip Errors

I use to validate ON FOCUS OUT, and the thing is, sometimes i change the views and suddenly the error tooltip shows up in random places and stays there. Is there something to set to do not show the error tooltip when i change views or is this a bug? any ideias? suggestions?!! Thanks Rafael
Re: [flexcoders] appending to a dataprovider in actionscript
if u want to listen a ArrayCollection when some of its elements are

dataProvider.addEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE,updateHandler);

{
}
look up CollectionEvent api , u can find out how to do next step.

Re: [flexcoders] How can I place my labels in my column chart vertically?
If you're talking about the horizontalAxis labels then.. 1) Embed a font, and specify that font in your label style 2) set rotation on horizontalAxisRenderer In order to rotate the labels, an embedded font must be used.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: 3 charts side by side but only one vertical axis?
So I'm curious why you'd only want 1 axis... you'd never really be certain
that it correctly reflected the other 2 chart items?
So, a better solution would be to define a CaresianChart type and create 3
distinct series based on your 3 charts... have the first series power the
bar chart, second series power the line chart, etc... This way you can
assure that they are all reflected correctly in the axis values.
Just my 2 cents...

[flexcoders] Problems adding custom MXML component to Canvas at runtime
Hello,
MY GOAL: to add my custom MXML component to a canvas, the custom comp
has a Label and a TextArea object inside, the user can see the Label
but the TextArea is hidden, but when a user hovers the mouse over the
Label, effect will be applied to show the TextArea.
I'm having difficulty displaying a custom MXML component on a canvas
in my application. Basically, I have a very simple MXML component
which is a UIComponent with a Label and a TextArea inside. At
runtime I create an instance of this custom MXML component and then I
set the text field for the Label and I want to add this component to
the main canvas and apply some effects to it.
However, no matter what I try the MXML component does not appear on
my canvas. When I try the same code by using a plain Label instead
of my custom MXML component I am able to see the Label appear on the
canvas and I can apply effects on it as I would expect.
Instead of using a UIComponent as the wrapper class in my custom MXML
class I have also tried using a Canvas class, but that did not make a
difference.
My custom MXML component (CustomMXMLComp.mxml):
mx:UIComponent xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
mx:Label id=lblTitle text=DEFAULT TEXT /
mx:TextArea id=txaBrief text=DEFAULT BRIEF TEXT /
/mx:UIComponent
The code to add this component to the canvas at runtime:
Application creationComplete=loadApp()
mx:Script
private function loadApp() {
var myObj:CustomMXMLComp = new CustomMXMLComp();
this.myCnv.addChild(myObj);
myObj.x = 100;
myObj.y = 100;
//HELP: NOTHING APPEARS ON THE CANVAS!!

[flexcoders] checkbox usage in flex

I'm new to Flex development and have strong CF background.
My simple project detail:
I have a datagrid and a form (text field, textarea field, datefield,
and checkbox). Once I provide all the information, and submit the
form, the data gets inserted into the table(SQL DB) and shows in the
datagrid.
All these work fine except, the checkbox. I use mx:HTTPService.
My question: How do I pass the selected checkbox value(s) to the
httpservice.
checkbox code:
mx:Repeater id=checkBoxRepeater
dataProvider={userRequest.lastResult.partners.partner}
mx:CheckBox id=checkBox
label={checkBoxRepeater.currentItem.strPartner}
data={checkBoxRepeater.currentItem.strPartner}
/
/mx:Repeater
save button code:
mx:Button label=Save click=userRequest.send();cancel();
styleName=saveButton/
httpservice code:
mx:HTTPService id=userRequest
url=http://url.com/dispaly/qry_Annoucement.cfm; useProxy=false
method=POST
mx:request xmlns=
strTitle{strTitle.text}/strTitle
strContent{strContent.text}/strContent

RE: [flexcoders] Problems adding custom MXML component to Canvas at runtime
I would expect it to work with Canvas as the top tag. If you want to use
UIComponent, make sure you've read the documentation on the component
lifecycle, or see Gordon's and my Flick Flack article in Flex Authority
magazine. A UIComponent has to implement lifecycle methods in order to be
shown correctly
