RE: [flexcoders] Subobjects null within Assembler when updating to LCDS 2.6

[Jeff Vroom]

Can you send me the client and server debug logs for this case?Since they 
are probably big, feel free to send them to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]   I can't 
think of any changes that would have caused this.Everything should be 
backwards compatible though you might try 2.6.1 (now available for public 
download) as there was one bug in particular I fixed that might have cause this.

Subject: [flexcoders] Subobjects null within Assembler when updating to LCDS 2.6


Hello!

We have justed updated our application from LCDS 2.5.1 to LCDS 2.6.

If we now update an object, referenced subobjects which are sent from
the AIR Client to the server, are null when the objects arrive at the
Assembler. When createItem is called the subobjects are sent to the
assembler. We use managed associations to the subobjects.

The problem only occurs if the main object has been created just
before. If an already existing object gets updated everything works
fine.

The problem does not occur if we use the LCDS 2.6 jar files together
with the fds.swc from version 2.5.1.

Do have to adapt a special config entry when updating to LCDS 2.6 or
do we have to set another property within data-management-config.xml,
so that subobjects are always sent to the Assembler?

Thanks in advance,
Taze

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Architecture question using Move Effect and Events

[Jules Suggate]

This is a good solution -- I was going to suggest that in the
handleMouseRollOver function you can check currentTarget to see if
it's an instance of UITextField, Label or whatever, thus waiting until
the event has bubbled to the grandparent. But that requires hardcoding
the types into an if(..) statement, not ideal. In fact, hardly
different from the event.target.parent.parent code you had originally.

Yours sounds like the way to go.

[flexcoders] Re: Problems with mouseChildren not blocking unwanted Mouse Events on Canvas

[devenhariyani]

btw, i also tried stopImmediatePropagation() and that didn't work
either for my situation, but i just figured it out!!!

set mouseEnabled = false and the new component will not cause
conflicts with the mouse events.

[flexcoders] Problems with mouseChildren not blocking unwanted Mouse Events on Canvas

[devenhariyani]

Hello,

I have an application with the following structure:


   |->CustomXMLComponent_1
 |->Label
 |->TextArea
  ...
   |->CustomXMLComponent_n
 |->Label
 |->TextArea


When a user performs a mouse rollover on the  Label field for any of
the CustomMXMLComponents, there is a child canvas with a TextArea that
is added to the base application, and this new canvas has fancy blur
and zoom effects applied to it when it appears on the screen.

When the user performs a rollout from the Label than the child canvas
that was added will blur and fade out.  Sounds simple, right?

The problem is that if a user is performing a mouse rollover on a
coordinate where the new child canvas will appear than complete chaos
breaks out because the dynamically added Canvas child causes
conflicting mouse rollover/rollout effects which cause multiple mouse
rollover/out events are fired on the Label and multiple new child
canvases are created and I end up with windows everywhere.

I have tried setting mouseChildren=false before  and after adding the
child Canvas element to the Application Canvas, but this didn't solve
my problem, when the canvas with zoom, blur effect comes on the screen
somehow it is still affecting the mouse events for the current elements.

btw, i read an older post that spoke about creating a "transparent
shield" on the application to stop listening to certain events.  how
would one do this?  

my application size is for a widget (300x300) so my space is rather
limited and is there a better way for me to keep all these different
events that are firing in order??

Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Memory leaks in Flex SDK

[Guy Morton]

I'll second that. I've found the profiler hard to rely upon. Running  
my app in a browser alongside WSMonitor seems more convincing to me,  
but that might be because it gives me the answer I expect & want (ie,  
no leaks).

Hi all,

I know this is a "multennial" subject, but I just checked Adobe's JIRA
and found three confirmed memory leaks in the Flex SDK :(

They are:
+ Memory leak in SWFLoader: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-18076
+ BindingUtils don't use weak event listeners, creating potential
memory leaks: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14891
+ Flash Components break GC in FLex (while loaded at runtime):
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13612

AFAIK, a well modularised application has to make use of SWFLoader for
dynamic linking, so that's a big worry as my app is designed to run
continuously in the background.

The second two are slated to be fixed in Flex Gumbo (not really
imminent but somewhat reassuring), however Adobe are particularly
quiet about the SWFLoader problem.

Anyone know of any workaround for these issues (esp. SWFLoader)?

Cheers,
Jules

I don't append to clipboard. I append to a string, and after

violated the security model. I call callLater(foo) and foo has the
code to setClipboard().

[flexcoders] Re: Architecture question using Move Effect and Events

[devenhariyani]

Wow..you all have been very helpful!  Thank you so much for your
support.  In the end I did not use the mouseChildren property, because
 I needed the child components to receive mouseover and mouseOut events.

But, I did create a framework that fixed all of my event troubles, and
below are some of the things I did. I hope it helps someone in the future:

1. I created a new custom Event class called MyCustomEvent.  I then
have the base compoenent listen specifically for this custom event,
and whenever any of the children components receive a mouseover or
mouseout event they dispatch a new MyCustomEvent which the parent
class receives and is able to perform special effects such as stopping
the move effect, zooming, etc.  When creating the MyCustomEvent, the
key was that I needed bubble set to "true" so that the event bubbles.
 The code is:

public class MyEvent extends Event
{
public static const FREEZE:String = "matrixFreeze";
public static const RESUME:String = "matrixResume";

public function MyEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean=true,
cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}

}

2. Whenever I am listening for events, I make sure that I am using
currentTarget as opposed to target.  before I was using target
property to access activeEffects on the parent object, and this was
giving me exceptions.  That is because in my situation, target was the
UITextField and the currentTarget was in fact the MyCustomMXML obj I
was trying to access.

HTH someone out,

RE: [flexcoders] Best browser for debugging on Mac OSX?

[Tim Rowe]

Biggest downside I think we found to Camino was the lack of Firefox
plugins.  Especially when you're relying on things like FoxyProxy, it
does create a bit of an issue using Camino full-time.  If you're not
worried about though, and/or all you want to do is just test your code,
it might not hurt to have a copy of Camino set up to do exactly what you
want, and use FF/Safari for everything else.
 
I'd tended to use the Intel native/optimized builds of Firefox (BonEcho
and the like), and never bothered worrying about memory usage.  Over
time with FF you just grow to accept things are slow ... or buy/demand a
new machine.

Camino is supposed to be pretty fast.

Its a little bit more difficult to set up your proxies but it is
possible.

RE: [flexcoders] BlazeDS - Best practice for determining if server session is invalid.

[Seth Hodgson]

Hi Fotis,

The client library caches credentials in order to support seamless fallback 
through channels in your ChannelSet that preserves your desired authenticated 
identity both at connect time, as well as for automatic failover across peer 
servers in a cluster at any point after you've initially connected.

However, when you use a simple AMF channel, where we don't know your session 
(connection) has timed out until a remoting call is made but fails due to an 
auth constraint check, we didn't originally handle that scenario seamlessly. 
Now we do, when you turn on the config flag I mentioned below, and it applies 
to remoting calls, producer messages sends, DMS operations, etc. (basically, 
any outbound message that fails in processing due to an auth fault when you 
were previously successfully authenticated).

In order for this to work though, you'd need to be logging in from within the 
Flex app so that it has access to your creds.
We provide server-side LoginCommand impls for supported app servers that plug 
into their various custom authentication layers and that's what Flex login 
requests are processed by, but we don't ship an official AcegiLoginCommand 
currently. I think folks in the community have implemented that though, so try 
Googling for it, or perhaps someone else who's written one will post a link?

This is also exposed as the 'loginAfterDisconnect' property on Channel, if 
you're building your channels and ChannelSet directly in ActionScript.

It should handle this case seamlessly, removing the need to re-prompt the user

If you really want to reprompt the user, in your fault handler for your 
RemoteObject calls, you could watch for faults with an underlying ErrorMessage

The reason that the authenticated property doesn't change on the client is that 
there's no way guaranteed way for the server to notify the client when the

Subject: [flexcoders] BlazeDS - Best practice for determining if server session

Currently I am running BlazeDS on Tomcat, and I have a flex client
that is authenticating against a set of Remote Objects using
channelset.login().

As expected, if I walk away from the client for 30 minutes, the Tomcat
server invalidates the session, which of course effectively logs out
the client.

What I would like to happen is when the server invalidates the
session, the client is returned to the login page. I can think of
different ways to accomplish this, but I was wondering if there is an
established pattern for this?

I tried creating a timer on the client to check if the authenticated
property on the channelset was false. But I noticed that the
authenticated property never changed, even after the session invalidated.

I'm tempted to do the same thing on the server, but instead check to
see if the session is valid, and throw an error if not.

But I thought I'd check here first!

Thanks in advance!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: UID, how is it used ?

[Josh McDonald]

It could be clearer (especially the last sentence), but it seems to me that
it's telling you what to do, rather than what the SDK will do. But I assume
the Cursor class (which I don't use often, so take this with a grain of
salt) would respect the IUID interface and not require you to specify the
individual fields when trying to seek to a particular instance.

Hi Seth,

Thanks for the quick reply

Seems like the problem was a bug with BlazeDS.

Like I mentioned, the custom objects inside of the collection (Country for 
example) are working fine
just the custom collection type I created that was not.

The did some digging in BlazeDS code and I verified that during serialization 
they were checking if the given instance
was a Collection before Checking if it was Externalizable.

On the trunk version of BlazeDS (3.0.1) this is already fixed and 
Externalizable is the first type checked during serialization.

I hope they get 3.0.1 out soon.

Thanks

Hi João,

Does your custom ActionScript collection class use [RemoteClass( alias=".. .")] 
metadata to map to your corresponding custom Java collection class on the 
server?

Using [RemoteClass] requires that you have a hard dependency on this custom AS 
collection class in your app in order for mxmlc to generate the necessary 
registerClassAlias call during Flex app init; if you don't have an explicit 
variable of this type in your app, just create a dummy variable during startup 
that is thrown away and gc'ed and it should do the trick.

RE: [flexcoders] BlazeDS - Best practice for determining if server session is invalid.

[Seth Hodgson]

Hi,

In your services-config.xml file, within the  for the 
channel/endpoint you app is using to issue remoting calls to the server, try 
turning on the following config option:

  
  true

This is also exposed as the 'loginAfterDisconnect' property on Channel, if 
you're building your channels and ChannelSet directly in ActionScript.

It should handle this case seamlessly, removing the need to re-prompt the user 
with a login dialog.
If you really want to reprompt the user, in your fault handler for your 
RemoteObject calls, you could watch for faults with an underlying ErrorMessage 
with a faultCode of "Client.Authentication" and use that to trigger transition 
back to your login view.

The reason that the authenticated property doesn't change on the client is that 
there's no way guaranteed way for the server to notify the client when the 
session times out. So, it's not until you send your next request to the server 
that we discover that.

Best,
Seth

Subject: [flexcoders] BlazeDS - Best practice for determining if server session 
is invalid.

Currently I am running BlazeDS on Tomcat, and I have a flex client
that is authenticating against a set of Remote Objects using
channelset.login().

As expected, if I walk away from the client for 30 minutes, the Tomcat
server invalidates the session, which of course effectively logs out
the client.

What I would like to happen is when the server invalidates the
session, the client is returned to the login page. I can think of
different ways to accomplish this, but I was wondering if there is an
established pattern for this?

I tried creating a timer on the client to check if the authenticated
property on the channelset was false. But I noticed that the
authenticated property never changed, even after the session invalidated.

I'm tempted to do the same thing on the server, but instead check to
see if the session is valid, and throw an error if not.

But I thought I'd check here first!

Thanks in advance!

Hi ALL,

This group is being really helpful.

I have asked a question earlier and people responded with answers on 
the same day. I appreciate and thank you all.

Now back to the another question.

I have a form to enter and a datagrid to display the records. 
Form has: text, textarea and multiple check box. once I add text and 
select multiple values in the checkbox and submit. This gets into the 
DB. This works fine.

Example to explain the scenario: checkbox has 1, 2, 3, 4 as options 
to select. When the user selected 3,4. The DB gets inserted with 3,4

Now, when I select any record from the datagrid, the form gets 
populated with the selected datagrid value and this works fine too
except for the checkbox values.

Example to explain the scenario: DB has 3,4 the form needs to have 
3,4 checked.

Question: How do i enable checkbox (having checkbox selected=true) 
for only the values in the DB.
Any example direction would be great.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ComboBox as itemRenderer/editor in Datagrid is not updating dataProvider...

And to your original question, that seems like the hard way to do it.
Why not just loop over the dataProvider and set each item's
selectedIndex property?  Use the dataProvider API, or call
itemUpdated(), or re-assign the dataProvider to get the changes to show
up in the DG.

"...directly manipulate the grid's dataProvider..." This is my preferred
approach, over depending on the list components own editing process.

 

An itemRenderer gets a reference to the entire dataProvider item that
spawned it.  The framework passses it in via the set data function.  You
can use that *reference* to update any property on the item.

My understanding of this function is that it is to cause an update in
the rendering of the control attached to the data, which implies that
the dataProvider has the correct data - the control is just not
showing it.

I have the reverse problem. In my case, the renderers (the combo
boxes) are changing just fine, but the selection index in the combo is
NOT being written back to the grid's dataProvider.

Another solution would be to directly manipulate the grid's
dataProvider myself. In this case, I can hook the change event for
the itemrenderer and manually update the value. But I don't know off
hand how to access the parent dataProvider cell from within an
itemRenderer?

When I run my application using the flash player, everything is good.

All my HTTPService requests go through the Apache server (running

different server (also local) which servers up the results.

If I use my web browser (FF or IE) instead of the flashplayer, then I
get the dreaded:
[RPC Fault faultString="Security error accessing url"

The HTML file to download the swf file was changed so that the
allowScriptAccess is "always" instead of "sameDomain". But that was
only done to try to work around this issue.

I am still in the sameDomain, so I don't think having a crossdmain

Any ideas?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: help here with an item renderer

[Tracy Spratt]

You cannot do this:

click="navigateToURL(myrepeater.currentItem.url)"

You will get an error.  currentItem only exists when the repeater is
executing, not when the "click" action happens.

 

For simple cases, you can use getRepeaterItem() in the handler.  For
even slightly more complex repeated components, create a custom
component and repeat that.

If I understand what you are asking then in the buttons within the
repeater you just add the click="" to point to your function, like




and my XML would look more like http://www.someurl.com  ">

hope I'm not way off what you are aasking there :-)

[flexcoders] Re: How can I create a path animation in Flex?

[gilbert_mizrahi]

Johannes,

I didn't think in the possibility to script the movement this way.
Even though I want to have in AS3, so I can create paths and
animations at run time, this could be a potential solution, once I
understand how to create the motion XML dynamically.

Thanks. I will look more into this too.

[flexcoders] Checkbox in datagrid

[sbnkn]

Hi ALL,

This group is being really helpful.

I have asked a question earlier and people responded with answers on 
the same day. I appreciate and thank you all.

Now back to the another question.

I have a form to enter and a datagrid to display the records. 
Form has: text, textarea and multiple check box. once I add text and 
select multiple values in the checkbox and submit. This gets into the 
DB. This works fine.

Example to explain the scenario: checkbox has 1, 2, 3, 4 as options 
to select. When the user selected 3,4. The DB gets inserted with 3,4

Now, when I select any record from the datagrid, the form gets 
populated with the selected datagrid value and this works fine too
except for the checkbox values.

Example to explain the scenario: DB has 3,4 the form needs to have 
3,4 checked.

Question: How do i enable checkbox (having checkbox selected=true) 
for only the values in the DB.
Any example direction would be great.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ComboBox as itemRenderer/editor in Datagrid is not updating dataProvider...

[Tracy Spratt]

"...directly manipulate the grid's dataProvider..." This is my preferred
approach, over depending on the list components own editing process.

 

An itemRenderer gets a reference to the entire dataProvider item that
spawned it.  The framework passses it in via the set data function.  You
can use that *reference* to update any property on the item.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: ComboBox as itemRenderer/editor in Datagrid is
not updating dataProvider...

 


My understanding of this function is that it is to cause an update in
the rendering of the control attached to the data, which implies that
the dataProvider has the correct data - the control is just not
showing it.

I have the reverse problem. In my case, the renderers (the combo
boxes) are changing just fine, but the selection index in the combo is
NOT being written back to the grid's dataProvider.

Another solution would be to directly manipulate the grid's
dataProvider myself. In this case, I can hook the change event for
the itemrenderer and manually update the value. But I don't know off
hand how to access the parent dataProvider cell from within an
itemRenderer?

[flexcoders] Flexbuilder is getting on my last nerve

[wkolcz]

I like to start my AS files by adding all the 
import statement of all the items I know I am going to need. 

However, if I forget one and FB is nice enough to add it form me, it tends to 
delete a couple of mine (seemingly randomly, except for Alert...It hates that 
one).

Is this a 'feature'? Is it a bug? Can it be stopped. I appreciate adding ones 
on the fly for me, but my apps are striking errors since it deletes them for me.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: help here with an item renderer

[Tracy Spratt]

"...create a custom component to encapsulate..." Yes, yes, yes.  Though
it is not clear what Gustavo wants, Steve is correct, this is the way to
do Repeater.

 

Gustavo, The word/phrase "itemRenderer" has special meaning.
itemRenderers are used with List-based components, and are tightly
integrated with the framework, to optimize performance.

 

Repeater's requirements are much looser, requiring only some component.
(so the developer must watch performance).

 

To take Steve's advice a bit further, pass a reference to the entire
currentItem into the custom component.  You can then code it normally,
and can easily provide public properties to access in event handlers and
such.

I don't know if I really understand what you are trying to do so correct
me if I am wrong...

My understanding: You have XML that you are using as a dataProvider for
a repeater; You want buttons to be created for each item in the
dataProvider; Each button (When Clicked) should navigate to a URL based
on data in the dataProvider.

OK, if it were me, I would create a custom component to encapsulate each
button. Here is an example:

MyCustomButton.mxml:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
click="onClick(event)">





And an Application to use it:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="vertical"
creationComplete="onCreationComplete()" xmlns:local="*">

Re: [flexcoders] [CUSTOM COLLECTION SERIALIZATION - BLAZEDS]

[Joao Kreuzberg]

Hi Seth,

Thanks for the quick reply

Seems like the problem was a bug with BlazeDS.

Like I mentioned, the custom objects inside of the collection (Country for 
example) are working fine
just the custom collection type I created that was not.

The did some digging in BlazeDS code and I verified that during serialization 
they were checking if the given instance
was a Collection before Checking if it was Externalizable.

On the trunk version of BlazeDS (3.0.1) this is already fixed and 
Externalizable is the first type checked during serialization.

I hope they get 3.0.1 out soon.

Thanks

João

Hi João,

Does your custom ActionScript collection class use [RemoteClass( alias=".. .")] 
metadata to map to your corresponding custom Java collection class on the 
server?

Using [RemoteClass] requires that you have a hard dependency on this custom AS 
collection class in your app in order for mxmlc to generate the necessary 
registerClassAlias call during Flex app init; if you don't have an explicit 
variable of this type in your app, just create a dummy variable during startup 
that is thrown away and gc'ed and it should do the trick.

Best,
Seth

Hello  guys,

I have a custom collection in Java and I'd like to bind it to my custom

I'm using BlazeDS.

I implemented IExternalizable and Externalizable both ends but I still always 
get back a ArrayList instead of my custom implementation.

The objects inside of the collection are bound correctly, only the collection 
that remains.

Any hints about this?

At this point I would recommend using an HTTP Debugging Proxy like
Charles (http://www.charlesp roxy.com) to see exactly what is being
sent and where it is going.

I'm afraid I don't know ColdFusion so can't tell if you CF code is
correct or not.

Once you see the actual data that is being sent to your backend code
you should be able to figure out where the problem is very quickly.

BTW. I have found Charles to be indispensable. It has saved me
literally hundreds of hours in debugging time. It is one of two
debugging proxies that understand AMF and the only one that is cross
platform. It has been well worth its $50 asking price.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Module loaded but not displayed every time...

[claudiu ursica]

I am, but via bindings (set via BindUtils.bind setter in the complete handler), 
but I have put a message before those bindings and it is not like the bindings 
are not init, the event doesn't get dispatched. The setters are the one who 
dispatch cairngorm events and in the command (actually delegate) I make a 
request to the server.

I'll post some code tomorrow first thing in the morning...
Cheers,

[flexcoders] getting the number of children in a grouping collection via the groupingFunction

[djbrown_rotonews]

i'm wanting to change the label of my groups in the AdvancedDataGrid, 
and I see where that's exposed via the groupingFunction. What i'm 
wanting to do is to modify it in such a way that it returns the 
groupingField "name" itself, plus the number of children in that group.

As an example, if I had the following data:

DFW Jason
DFW Darin
DFW Bob
ORD Peter
ORD Juan

I would want to the grid to display as follows:

DFW (3)
ORD (2)

I'd like to indicate the number of children in each group without 
having to add an explicity column via a SummaryRow etc..

[flexcoders] Problem resizing application

[Vitor Cunha]

Hello all, 
I have an Application that resizes according to the browser size / screen 
resolution in order to make use of all the avaliable space.
The problem is that when I resize the browser screen (f.i. raise it's height), 
I can't click the buttons and other components anymore (but they're still 
accessible using tab).It seems that the button's "hit area" didn't change after 
resizing the screen.If I change the size back, the button can be clicked with 
the mouse again.
 
Thanks in advance for your help,

[flexcoders] Re: UID, how is it used ?

[erdal]

Thanks for the clarification but I have a feeling that I would not be
the last person make similar assumtions after reading sections like this
from the Developer's guide.

-- Excerpt from the section 'Data providers and the uid property' 

"If Flex must consider two or more different objects to be identical,
the objects must implement the IUID interface so that you can assign the
same uid value to multiple objects. A typical case where you must
implement the IUID interface is an application that uses paged
collections. As the cursor moves through the collection, a particular
item might be pulled down from the server and released from memory
repeatedly. Every time the item is pulled into memory, a new object is
created to represent the item. If you need to compare items for
equality, Flex should consider all objects that represent the same item
to be the same "thing."

Yet you didn't register an event listener on the label, either, and 
expect to be receiving events from _it_, hmmm?

> Is there a better way to catch the event so that the
> MyCustomMXMLComponent can handle the event to stop the Move 
Effect???

Sometimes in a situation like this, I'll add an event listener in the 
pesky object that is unwantedly catching my event, preventDefault on 
it, and then redispatch the event from the one that I want to appear 
to have dispatched it.

This works especially well in situations where you can't set 
mouseChildren false because you want other objects to still be 
interactive, or with controls like label, which don't have a 
mouseChildren property for some reason.

[flexcoders] Re: Bug: Combobox maxWidth does not work with percent width

[valdhor]

According to the documentation:
==
maxWidth property   

maxWidth:Number  [read-write] 

Number that specifies the maximum width of the component, in pixels,
in the component's coordinates. 

This value is used by the container in calculating the size and
position of the component. It is not used by the component itself in
determining its default size. Thus this property may not have any
effect if parented by Container, or containers that don't factor in
this property. Because the value is in component coordinates, the true
maxWidth with respect to its parent is affected by the scaleX
property. Some components have no theoretical limit to their width. In
those cases their maxWidth will be set to UIComponent.DEFAULT_MAX_WIDTH.
==

So, what is the maxWidth setting of the enclosing component?

[flexcoders] Re: Architecture question using Move Effect and Events

[steve.klee]

I believe you need to set the "mouseChildren" property on your custom 
component to false, that way the label inside your component will not 
deal with the mouse event and let it bubble up to your event listener 
you set on your component.

HTH.

[flexcoders] Re: help here with an item renderer

[valdhor]

I don't know if I really understand what you are trying to do so correct
me if I am wrong...

My understanding: You have XML that you are using as a dataProvider for
a repeater; You want buttons to be created for each item in the
dataProvider; Each button (When Clicked) should navigate to a URL based
on data in the dataProvider.

OK, if it were me, I would create a custom component to encapsulate each
button. Here is an example:

MyCustomButton.mxml:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
click="onClick(event)">
 
 
 


And an Application to use it:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="vertical"
 creationComplete="onCreationComplete()" xmlns:local="*">

Tim, That could help. I have to see how I can extend that

Sefi, I am familiar with some of the tween engines. However, I believe

[flexcoders] Bug: Combobox maxWidth does not work with percent width

[fotis.chatzinikos]

Hi,
When the following comboBox is used with width="100%" and maxWidth 190
the maxwidth is not used when the underlying list contains names wider
than 190 pixels...Instead the full name is shown and the combo becomes
230 or any other amount of pixels needed...

This is only fixed if the width is specified to for example 190...

[flexcoders] Re: How to set reference to parent?

[florian.salihovic]

It would be component.parent, not just parent unless you are working in the 
child's scope.

A better way would be to register an eventlistener (don't forget to remove it 
if it's not 
necessary anymore) for the child in the parent's scope. Why? To me it's the 
same problem 
you might run into when working with the stage. Sometimes the stage and parent 
references might be null -> that's the case when the child is not added.

Best regards.

[flexcoders] Problem opening Flex project

[markgoldin_2000]

Opening Flex Builder all of a sudden I was presented with a new 
configuration like I have never done any development yet with this 
installation. I am trying to import my project. I am selecting a 
project folder, and it takes it fine, but selecting same folder for 
project location does not even enable Finish button. If I choose 
default option then a new folder with a name of my project is created 
inside of my project folder (dont know why) but Import dialog is not 
closing. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Module loaded but not displayed every time...

[Claudiu Ursica]

Hi again, 
I see nobody bumped into this issue...
Since the previous post I have discovered that the module does not
show up because the cration complete event does not fire all the time.
I was able to log the preinitialize event and the init event but when
the module doesn't show it is because the creation complete does not
fire. Eventually the module does show after 2 minutes or so... an then
I see the log for creation complete. 

In my initialize event I initialize some variables and that always
gets done, but I vahe no odea what happends sometimes that determines
the creation complete to fire so late.

Maybe some of you can help with this,
TIA,
Caludiu

[flexcoders] Subobjects null within Assembler when updating to LCDS 2.6

[taze170171]

Hello!

We have justed updated our application from LCDS 2.5.1 to LCDS 2.6.

If we now update an object, referenced subobjects which are sent from 
the AIR Client to the server, are null when the objects arrive at the 
Assembler. When createItem is called the subobjects are sent to the 
assembler. We use managed associations to the subobjects.

The problem only occurs if the main object has been created just 
before. If an already existing object gets updated everything works 
fine.

The problem does not occur if we use the LCDS 2.6 jar files together 
with the fds.swc from version 2.5.1.

Do have to adapt a special config entry when updating to LCDS 2.6 or 
do we have to set another property within data-management-config.xml, 
so that subobjects are always sent to the Assembler?

Thanks in advance,
Taze

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How can I create a path animation in Flex?

[Sefi Ninio]

You can use a tween library ( there are many out there - tweener, tweenlite
etc.).
you can give it a source and origin x,y Points and duration, easing function
etc and it will handle the animation.
it the route is not a straight line, you can break the animation into
sections, listen for the end of one and start the next one.

I don't know about tweenLite, but in tweener it's done in a single line of
code.

[flexcoders] Re: ComboBox as itemRenderer/editor in Datagrid is not updating dataProvider...

[biosmonkey]

My understanding of this function is that it is to cause an update in
the rendering of the control attached to the data, which implies that
the dataProvider has the correct data - the control is just not
showing it.

I have the reverse problem.  In my case, the renderers (the combo
boxes) are changing just fine, but the selection index in the combo is
NOT being written back to the grid's dataProvider.

Another solution would be to directly manipulate the grid's
dataProvider myself.  In this case, I can hook the change event for
the itemrenderer and manually update the value.  But I don't know off
hand how to access the parent dataProvider cell from within an
itemRenderer?

[flexcoders] Re: ItemRenderer's style is changed when scrolling DataGrid

[valdhor]

You may be better off overriding the set data function in your renderer.
The following is an example I have used in the past to create a
linkButton in a cell if the data is greater than zero or to gray it out
if it is zero:

package renderers
{
 import mx.controls.*;
 import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;

 public class CellField extends LinkButton
 {
 private var fieldValue:String;

 public function CellField()
 {
 super();
 }

 override public function set data(value:Object):void
 {
 if(value != null)
 {
 super.data = value;
 fieldValue =
value[DataGridListData(listData).dataField];

 label = fieldValue;
 if (Number(fieldValue) == 0)
 {
 enabled = false;
 useHandCursor = false;
 }
 else
 {
 enabled = true;
 useHandCursor = true;
 setStyle("color", "#FF");
 setStyle("textDecoration", "underline");
 setStyle("textRollOverColor:", "#CC");
 }
 }
 }
 }
}

[flexcoders] Re: supertabnavigator component and reordering tabs

[valdhor]

Are you using the SuperTabNavigator example?

If so, add the event listener to the "nav" element and try again (This
is the top SuperTabNavigator). I did this and it worked fine.

Otherwise, post some code and I can give it a looksee.

Re: [flexcoders] SWF Verification

"I don't think you can control how it sends the hash"

I do not want to control it. I want to know how it creates the hash and how
the hash is sent so I can implement the same serverside logic as FMS. This
way I could improve the security of my AMF3 enabled application.
