RE: [flexcoders] AIR app uninstall issue - database stays in applicationStorageDirectory forever?

[Gregor Kiddie]

Yeah, solutions to this tend to end up being messy.

 

Question is, why do your users consider keeping their settings from one
install to another a bug?

Thanks guys, but this still doesn't solve my problem. 

Gregor, I understand that Mac users would delete the folder and nothing
could be run then, but at least I need a workaround to run some code at
the install time, or first time the application runs after install, is
there a way to do at least that? Then I could check for any old files
and delete them, reset prefs, etc. 

As user Dan commented in the Oli's blog, I also got the same idea of
checking the file dates and times in applicationDirectory, if that time
is less than 1 minute from "now", then it is a fresh install and I need
to clean up what is in the applicationStorageDirectory. If that date is
older, that means I'm just running the same already installed
application again, and I leave everything as is. But as Dan posted, this
seems like a very very ugly hack.

I would really appreciate if someone maybe close to Adobe would shed
some light on the issue. Can it be done, are there some workarounds.
It's really annoying, we're few days from release and client just found
this "bug". The bug is that ApplicationStorageDirectory doesn't get
deleted on uninstall. Hence, all the user's settings remain after he
uninstalls the app and installs it again. (Plus it's very ugly to have
all the files there forever)


Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, on the application launch I'm
copying SQLite database from applicationDirectory to
applicationStorageDirectory, in order to be able to read and write. 

Of course, I check if the database already exists there or not. 

var dbFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.

resolvePath("database.db");

var DBDestination:File =
File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("db/database.db");


if (!DBDestination.exists)
{
dbFile.copyTo(DBDestination); 
}

Everything is fine here, up to the point when application is
uninstalled. Database stays there even after the uninstall and hence
breaks some critical functionality. 

It might be that I'm not following some best practices, or there is a
way to manually clean up the stuff, I don't know. Any ideas?

That's not exactly what you're after, in this case the object will be added to 
the list of children, it's just not positioned on parent.updateDisplayList() or 
counted during parent.measure().

The only way I can think of off the top of my head to do what you're after is 
wrap it in . Here's a quick example:

Is it possible to define a component but somehow cause it to be omitted from 
the enclosing component's list of children?  Essentially:


  
  


An obvious question is, "Why are you defining the component there if it's not 
supposed to be a child?"

I've got a datagrid inline item renderer that always shows a (summary) piece of 
information, but I want a pop-up to appear on rollover of the summary.  The 
problem I'm having is that the detail is (of course) added to the container 
that holds the summary, which causes the datagrid cell to blow open too big.


  

  
  

  
  

  


Defining the detail outside the itemrenderer entirely seems one way to go, 
except that this would mean there's only one pop up for all of the rows of the 
data grid.

Can you do this sort of thing with a nested component?

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Messaging - Typing Objects.

[Seth Hodgson]

Yes, you can build and push AsyncMessages that contain typed objects as the 
message bodies.

If you're just pushing messages from client to client through the server (i.e. 
no JMS or some other custom adapter into a backend messaging system), you can 
just tag your ActionScript class with [RemoteClass] (no alias="..." attribute), 
and it'll show up at the receiving client as an instance of the desired type. 
In this case you don't even need a corresponding server-side Java class.

Seth

mx:httpservice and/or mx:request strips namespace information from posted
messag
 
Hi,

Can someone tell me why, when I use:

http://server: 8080/webservice/ url"
useProxy="false" >


http://schemas. xmlsoap.org/ soap/envelope/" 
xmlns:SOAP-ENC= "http://schemas. xmlsoap.org/ soap/encoding/" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3. org/2001/ XMLSchema- instance" 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3. org/2001/ XMLSchema" 
xmlns:ns1="http://rts.splwg. com/webservices/" 
xmlns:ns2="http://rts.splwg. com/webservices/ packets" 
xmlns:ns3="http://rts.splwg. com/webservices/ fields">
 








And when I sniff the message between the .swf and the webservice, the
XML posted looks like:







i.e.) it strips my namespace information. This causes a version error
at the AXIS webservice.


http://schemas. xmlsoap.org/ soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3. org/2001/ XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3. org/2001/ XMLSchema- instance">

http://schemas. xmlsoap.org/ soap/actor/ next"
soapenv:mustUnderst and="0">





soapenv: VersionMismatch< /faultcode>
 Version Mismatch

http://xml.apache. org/axis/">atldev15





I know this may be an un-conventional way to call a webservice.. .. Any
ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Since I've already almost answered my own question, all I had to do to  
get what I was after was add "this.setFocus():" to my init code for  
the editor components.

[flexcoders] datagrid filter

[coder3]

Is there a sample to do multiple filtering? 

for example, i have a datagrid , i want to filter the year, 2006, 2007,
2008, 2009.

if i select 2006, 2008, the datagrid shows the list for 2006 and 2008,
i unselect 2006 and select 2009, the datagrid shows 2008 and 2009,

thanks!

I went around this by showing a progress animation while the PDF was

animation with a "Download Now" button.

Lame, but more clean then an "Are You sure?" alert.

[flexcoders] Getting Null exception when adding an Alert to a Canvas

[devenhariyani]

I have an application that has a small 300x300 canvas, and I want to
show an Alert that is centered inside of that canvas.  I tried passing
a parent parameter to Alert.show() method but that did not work, so I
was able to get the below code to center the alert inside the Canvas,
but the problem is that when a user clicks OK on the Alert, I get a
null pointer exception sometimes.  Any ideas why i get the exception
somtimes, and how to get rid of it??

//app popup alert to parent container
var alertMsg:Alert = new Alert();
alertMsg.text = arrErrorMsgs.join("\n\n");
alertMsg.title = "Invalid Feedback Form";
alertMsg.owner = Application.application.cnvFeedback;
alertMsg.explicitMaxHeight = 300;
alertMsg.explicitMaxWidth = 300;
Application.application.cnvFeedback.addChild(alertMsg);


EXCEPTION

Hey guys,

When building larger applications with bigger database interactions, which
is considered the best language to develop the back-end environment in? I
have been using PHP in most of my projects, but using AMFPHP to pass objects
just seems really clunky... It seems as though Adobe are pushing ColdFusion,
but I was wondering what the general consensus is on which methods
(webservices, remoting) and languages are considered to be the best for
communicating with databases.

[flexcoders] Flex Messaging - Typing Objects.

[Rodrigo Pereira Fraga]

Hi!

I'm using the messaging services of BlazeDS. 
So, anybody here knows if I can type an object using [RemoteClass]? 

My messages are sent from java to flex.

Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Defining, but not adding to parent in MXML

[Josh McDonald]

That's not exactly what you're after, in this case the object will be added
to the list of children, it's just not positioned on
parent.updateDisplayList() or counted during parent.measure().

The only way I can think of off the top of my head to do what you're after
is wrap it in . Here's a quick example:

http://pastie.textmate.org/private/hjd33kkztkuojpzltd2ylw

You can use  to do thins kind of like this, but 
defines classes,  not interfaces, and IIRC, mxmlc is kinda picky as to where
it'll let you do it.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Desperate Times...Desprate Messures: What is sent by HTTPRequest?

[Tracy Spratt]

Also, have you yet managed to get Flex to communicate with the server at
all?

 

If not, that is job 1.

 

I'd advise simplifying things as much as possible, like creating a
simple page that accepts an HTTPService request (no parameters) and
returns a hard coded value (I advise xml).

 

Then, make that page an "echo" page, that takes a single querystring
parameter and returns it to the Flex client.  Test that from a browser
before you try it from Flex (using GET).  Then use an htm form to submit
the parm, then POST from Flex..

 

When you get that, you will be pretty much in business.

 

Ah, also try it without https.  There are some considerations with
HTTPS, particularly with serving the Flex app from http, but the data
from https.  Google that.

That error typically means that flex failed to contact the specified
URL.

 

You said, "Ok, I see what is being sent".  How did you determine that?
You saw that where?

That means Flex is sending the call with the data corrrectly.  So then
where is the error happening? Between CF and the Database?  Does the CF
Insert query work if you hard code the values?  What IS the error?

 

Send something back to Flex.  Hard code it if necessary.  I have never
done either HTTPService or WebSevice calls without some return data.
Maybe flex is trying work with a null.

 

I advise setting resultFormat="e4x" for either RPC call types.  I always
send back a "status" node to flex.

Ok, I see what is being sent. If I dump them to a pdf, I can see them
fine. 


  FORM:

 
#form.duration#
 #form.action#
#form.source#




But when I just submit them to a page with just an insert Query, using
the form.variable, I get an error! This is making NO sense.


INSERT INTO tracker(clickCount, duration, action, dept,
videoFile, datePlayed)
VALUES(1, #form.duration#, '#form.action#', 'PRMC',
'#form.source#', #Now()#)


Is Flex waiting for something else? Do I need to send something back. I
just want to insert a counter into the database each time the user
leaves the page or clicks the stop button.

RE: [flexcoders] Best language for remoting

Thanks you very much for this detailed and extremely helpful reply. 

I've been looking into LCDS and it's certainly amazing, although probably
more than I need for now. It's something I am going to keep my eyes on for
the future if I ever need the functionality of offers.

For now, I think I'll look into Java and Remote Object. If anyone has any
links they found useful on this topic, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Best language for remoting

[Tracy Spratt]

It is not even theoretically possible to  determine the "best" of
anything.

 

You must look at the project, the requirements, both business and
technical, the proposed environment, everything.  All that said, if
there are no budget or technical constraints to consider (working for
God, maybe?), there are some popular, powerful combinations out there.

 

For long term enterprise level solutions look into LCDS. Paging, push,
messaging, a bunch of stuff I have not needed yet.  Big-time
functionality, big-time cost.

 

Many people swear by Java and Remote Object, because of the ability to
pass strongly typed objects around. It is also very fast, probably the
fastest protocol. (But transmission speed is rarely the bottleneck)  But
there are third party programs that permit this with other back-end
platforms like .net. (e.g. webOrb).

 

Stay clear on what tier does what.  HttpService, WebService,
RemoteObject, sockets, etc do not communicate with databases.  They are
protocols for communicating with a back-endServer platform.  Code on
that platform communicates with the database.  And which database?
(rhetorical question)

 

End to end design of a large project needs major commitment from many
people, and there will be compormises on all sides.   The business side
almost always wins, by the way.

 

We, on this list, have yet to come up with a consensus on *anything*, so
good luck with that.

 

Tracy

Hey guys,

When building larger applications with bigger database interactions,
which
is considered the best language to develop the back-end environment in?
I
have been using PHP in most of my projects, but using AMFPHP to pass
objects
just seems really clunky... It seems as though Adobe are pushing
ColdFusion,
but I was wondering what the general consensus is on which methods
(webservices, remoting) and languages are considered to be the best for
communicating with databases.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Desperate Times...Desprate Messures: What is sent by HTTPRequest?

[Tracy Spratt]

That error typically means that flex failed to contact the specified
URL.

 

You said, "Ok, I see what is being sent".  How did you determine that?
You saw that where?

Send something back to Flex.  Hard code it if necessary.  I have never

[flexcoders] Charts Datatip hide delay

[pratikshah83]

Hi Guys, 

I would like to know how to delay the hiding of datatip for charts. 

I am planning to have a URL in the datatip. But when I move the mouse
it destroys the datatip. I would like to delay it so that the user can
move over the tooltip and click the URL, I can destroy it on mouse out
event. 

Replies in this regards will be highly appreciated. 

Thanks

[flexcoders] Best language for remoting

[Sceneshift]

Hey guys,

When building larger applications with bigger database interactions, which
is considered the best language to develop the back-end environment in? I
have been using PHP in most of my projects, but using AMFPHP to pass objects
just seems really clunky... It seems as though Adobe are pushing ColdFusion,
but I was wondering what the general consensus is on which methods
(webservices, remoting) and languages are considered to be the best for
communicating with databases.

[flexcoders] Subclassing Vector?

[Josh McDonald]

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if it's possible to subclass Vector, as a back-door into
reusable generics? If so, is  available at runtime? Can you override the
constructor? How do you call super.()?

Cheers,

-Josh

Subject: [flexcoders] Defining, but not adding to parent in MXML

 

Is it possible to define a component but somehow cause it to be omitted
from the enclosing component's list of children?  Essentially:


  
  


An obvious question is, "Why are you defining the component there if
it's not supposed to be a child?"

I've got a datagrid inline item renderer that always shows a (summary)
piece of information, but I want a pop-up to appear on rollover of the
summary.  The problem I'm having is that the detail is (of course) added
to the container that holds the summary, which causes the datagrid cell
to blow open too big.


  

  
  

  
  

  


Defining the detail outside the itemrenderer entirely seems one way to
go, except that this would mean there's only one pop up for all of the
rows of the data grid.

Can you do this sort of thing with a nested component?


  

  
  

  

  

  

  


Any tips would be appreciated!

RE: [flexcoders] Desperate Times...Desprate Messures: What is sent by HTTPRequest?

[wkolcz]

Not necessarily giving up, but the internet is fruitless and not anyone in the 
Adobe Forums has chimed it, and you are the only one on here. Unfortunately for 
me, I need this thing running by Wednesday. So I am exploring both options 
right now. 

Which ever one works first, will be for the demo on Wednesday.

I am just
trying to send 4 parameters over to a CFC or CFM page to insert into the
database and both WebService and HTTPRequest are giving me fits. 

Ok here is the scenerio:

When the user watches a video, it starts a timer, when the user either exits
the page or clicks the 'stop' button it triggers a function that sends out 3
pieces of info: what video, how long, and whether they clicked stop or left. I
am packaging that information into an Object and sending it to a .cfm page with
a query on it, ready to insert.

What exactly is my .cfm page 'seeing' sent to it? Are they form., url., or just
the stuct name?

Here is my AS code:

trackInfo.duration =  myTimer.currentCount;

trackInfo.action = "Video Stopped";

trackInfo.source = source;

var service:HTTPService = new HTTPService();

service.url = "https://ummciisdevweb22.med.umich.edu/videotracking/tracker.cfm";;

service.method = "POST";

service.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, countHandler);

service.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, alertFault);

service.send(trackInfo);

How should I constuct the query on the tracker.cfm page? Something like:



Insert Into
tracker (clickCount, duration, action, videoFile, datePlayed)

VALUES(1, #trackInfo.duration#, '#trackInfo.action#',
'#trackInfo.source#', #Now()#)

RE: [flexcoders] Does anyone know ANYTHING about AS Webservices?

[wkolcz]

I put the webservice so it creates a public instance ready for use. 

public var webService:WebService = new WebService(); 
public var trackInfo:Object = new Object();
public var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(0);

I then change the code to:

private function wsdlLoaded(event:LoadEvent):void {
Alert.show("Web Service Loaded and Ready", "Service Status");
webService.countIt(trackInfo);
webService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, alertFault);

}

private function stop_onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTimer.stop()
trackInfo.addOne = 1 ;
trackInfo.duration =  myTimer.currentCount;
trackInfo.action = "Video Stopped";
trackInfo.source = source;
webService.wsdl = 
"https://ummciisdevweb22.umich.edu/videotracking/trackerDAO.cfc?wsdl";; 
webService.loadWSDL();
webService.addEventListener(LoadEvent.LOAD, wsdlLoaded);
stop();
playPressed = false;
}

It loads the WSDL and the Alert pops up, but still cant get it to the database. 
Now I am getting:

Subject: [flexcoders] Tree has same number of items after expand but not after 
change


Hi, all,

In Flex 3 I have a Tree control that is doing dynamic loading of
children. To simplify: I do a search that retrieves a root set of 15
folders. When I click on a folder, a function executes that retrieves
the children and expands the folder to reveal them. This works
correctly - the tree now displays the original 15 folders plus all
the children of the folder I clicked on.

On the other hand, if instead of clicking on the folder, I click on
the plus sign (or on Mac the triangle) to the left of the folder, the
folder opens and displays items, but the total number of items
displaying in the tree is only 15 (the same number as the original
number of folders) - so some of the folders disappear, and only a few
children display in the open folder. If I close the folder using the
minus and reopen it with the plus, all the items that should be
displaying do then appear (i.e., the 15 folders plus all the
children).

What is odd is that I am using basically the same function for both
events, the main difference being the event that is being passed to
it.

Here are the two functions:

private function handleTreeChange( event:Event ):void
{
var selectedItem:Object = Tree( event.target ).selectedItem;

if( selectedItem is FolderNode )
fetchFolderInfo( FolderNode( selectedItem ) );
}

private function handleRetrieve( event:TreeEvent ):void
{
if( event.item is FolderNode && event.opening )
fetchFolderInfo( FolderNode( event.item) );
}

private function fetchFolderInfo( folder:FolderNode ):void
{
//Items contains the children of the FolderNode
//so if the folder already has items, don't go doing
// the whole search thing
if( folder.Items.length != 0 )
return;

loadingPanel.visible = true;

catalogTreeGenerator.getFoldersOrStyles(theRootDBName, folder.Id,
theCatalogFKName);
catalogTreeGenerator.addEventListener("nonRootItemsArrayReady",
addFolderItems);

function addFolderItems(e:Event):void{
folder.Items = new ArrayCollection(e.currentTarget.fsItems as
Array );
catalogTree.validateNow();
catalogTree.expandItem( folder, true, true, false );
loadingPanel.visible = false;
catalogTreeGenerator.removeEventListener
("nonRootItemsArrayReady", addFolderItems);
}
}

Can anyone shed any light on why clicking on the plus next to a
folder the first time (doing the handleRetrieve function triggered
by "itemOpening" event) would cause the tree to only display a number
of items equal to the original number of folders, when clicking on
the folder itself (doing the handleTreeChange function triggered
by "change" event) causes the tree to display all the appropriate
items?

Thanks very much for any help.

I am familiar with e4x and know generally how to get information I need

I quickly ran into the problem that I cannot see a way to allow this to
happen without creating my own e4x interpreter. Am I missing something?
If I wanted a user to enter a string like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and
want to get the xmllist matching that e4x string on an XML object can I
do that? I know that [EMAIL PROTECTED] will give me what I
want, I even know that xmlVar["somenode"]["@someAttribute"] will give
me what I want. But xmlVar["[EMAIL PROTECTED]"] doesn't work. Nor
does xmlVar.decendants("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");

I know Adobe has the D.eval stuff for providing eval in AS, but I was

First, change your resultFormat to use "e4x".  "xml" is the legacy
object.

Hi,

Can someone tell me why, when I use:

http://server:8080/webservice/url
 "
useProxy="false">


http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/

xmlns:ns3="http://rts.splwg.com/webservices/fields
 ">
 








And when I sniff the message between the .swf and the webservice, the
XML posted looks like:







i.e.) it strips my namespace information. This causes a version error
at the AXIS webservice.

I know this may be an un-conventional way to call a webservice Any
ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

I tried 

menuTree.openItems = menuData..node; 

but the tree doesn't expand.

What does work for me is 

callLater(menuTree.expandChildrenOf, [menuTree.dataProvider[0], true]);

As an aside, if there's any client-side framework or other code that also

Something like http://snipplr.com/view/561/add-event-listener/ is a better way

[flexcoders] Re: Using japanese langiage in my application

[ross_w_henderson]

Naveen,

Hi.  Are you already familiar with embedding fonts in a Flex
application?  And, if you are, are you using the programmatic
approach, or the SWF approach?

You've probably already explored this, but one other option is to just
use the _sans system font, rather than embed a Japanese font.  We do
this for super large character sets (like Japanese).  Of course, it
doesn't look nearly as nice.

[flexcoders] Re: e4x Strings?

[Paul Fischer]

Hey Artc, I was looking to solve the same problem. I created a set of
data component classes (charts and grids) have properties for the
datasource URL and xpath. My first attempt was using the descendants
method, but it was limited to just returning the repeating nodes from
any parent nodes. I want to be able to use any valid xpath expression
to evaluate the xml from the datasource which will support specific
node locations and also support filtering data.

The only way I could make this work is using an external 3rd party
library. I am using http://code.google.com/p/xpath-as3. It works but
is noticeably slow on datasets exceeding 1000 rows. 

This really should be included in the Actionscript core XML classes. I
have worked with Java XML libraries such as Axiom and JDOM which
support xpath expression evaluation directly.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Loading swf with flashvars into Flex

[Fotis Chatzinikos]

If you read Paul's link you will see that are other ways to read parameters
than urlvars. As you do not have access to url vars when loading inside
another swf use the technique described in the post...

[flexcoders] Re: Loading swf with flashvars into Flex

[ericbichara]

Appreaciate the help but thats not what i was asking. I am loading an
swf into another swf and need the swf to be loaded using flashvars
parameters. Loading this swf from an html file with flashvars works
fine but not from another swf. :-)

 From what I've seen at MAX it should be available in Flex Builder 4 (aka

Re: [flexcoders] Package name refactoring in FLEX Builder

[Josh McDonald]

There's no functionality for that in Builder 3. Frankly before they worry
about that, I'd like it if regular old "rename" took less than 2 minutes on
the odd occasion where it doesn't simply hang Eclipse (unless renaming
private members, that works fine).

[flexcoders] hiding parts of controls across the edges of their parents (masking?)

[simonjpalmer]

I have a canvas within a canvas and the outer canvas has rounded
corners.  The inner one is basically a strip along the right hand side
of the outer canvas which I fill with a colour depending on the state
of some internal variable.  There are a couple of text fields in the
outer canvas too, but they are irrelevant to the problem at hand.

I want the inner one to have square corners but for its right hand
edge to be trimmed or masked so that it doesn't appear outside the
outer canvas's rounded corners.

It's harder to describe than it is to see in reality.

Here is my code which when displayed shows the little corners of the
inner canvas poking out of the nicely rounded edges of its parent.

width="225" height="100" 
cornerRadius="8"

[flexcoders] Some questions

[Olivier Ziller]

hello,

we're in the process of evaluating flex to migrate old Delphi desktop 
applications.


and i have a couple of questions :

   * is it possible, with flex, to drive a card reader? i mean reading
 and writing to a mifare card?
   * if not possible with flex, is it with air?
   * for business applications, how do you handle all printing needs?
 we will use a java backend (blazeds) so is it the best to generate
 pdf on the server side?
   * i've read that file upload is not working on firefox when using
 https. If true, it's a big issue. Could you confirm this problem?

thanks in advance

[flexcoders] Package name refactoring in FLEX Builder

[amolyk]

Hi All,

I have seen the refactoring feature available in FB for file names and 
variable name refactoring. In my project I have to refactor the package 
name. I don't see any option to do the refactoring at the 
package/folder level in FB. Since the package is renamed all the 
references needs to be changed. I am afraid that I have to do that 
manually, which is huge task and error prone. Please if anybody knows 
the option that refactors all the references automatically, please let 
me know.

Thanks,
Amol
 

[flexcoders] Item Renderer focus on subcomponent in List

[boilerman1984]

I've got a List of Item Renderers that contain inputs and a combobox.
 When the List gets Focus, the item renderer displays its default,
text input focus instead of the item renderer.  How can I get focus to
be set on an item renderer component instead of the whole item
renderer itself?

[flexcoders] AIR as GUI on Linux

[Ben Cessa]

I'm starting with Flex/AIR and I wanna build some apps as GUI for some  
shell programs like: portage from Gentoo and a DHCP server, may big  
doubt here is this: what's the best way to communicate which such  
programs from an AIR application or what can I use as middleware  
between both.

I really hope that someone with more experience can point me in the  
right direction on this one. Thanx a lot for your help.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: interface layout help

[Thibaud Van Vreckem]

my 2 cents:
If people are going to choose between a set of filtered house items you have
to show them houses rather than numbers.(which they have already filtered)
The datagrid might not be the best choice to display images.
If you absolutely need the datagrid, you could perhaps add another view
accessible through a switch to jump from the datagrid to a tilelist (or
repeater).

[flexcoders] Newbie HELP

[Tony]

Ok.  I have been working through a Friends of Ed book called
Foundation Flex for Designers.  In chapter 8, the idea is to build a
external xml file controlled photo gallery.  Screen will be split
horizontally with one side being thumbnails of the larger pictures
stored externally to the application.  The other side (right side) is
supposed to display the targeted picture in full dimensions. I have
not got to the right side yet.  I am to the point where thumb nails
should be showing up in the thumbnail pane.  But I keep getting an
error upon runtime out of flex.  Can any one help???  I have put a zip
file in the files area of this group that contains a folder for the
picture assets and xml file plus all the flex files.  Can someone tell
me what I did wrong??

The next step will be to create a basic css file.  But my thumb nails
should still be showing up in the pane (or is it "pain").

respectfully,

[flexcoders] Foreign Keyboard Mappings

[markdemich]

I have a flash application that's being used in other countries.  
I'm having reports that certain keys from certain keyboards are not 
getting translated properly.

My application uses a custom "equation editor" that I wrote.  I'm 
using key up and key down handlers to capture key strokes.  I can't 
believe the flash doesn't support character translations out of the 
box.  

I know some people out there us a hidden TextField to capture 
the "translated text", but I really don't want to do there.  I 
suspect that will mess up a lot of my focus code and cursor movement 
code.

Has anyone tackled this another way?  One idea I had was to somehow 
come up with a keyboard mapping application, that would require the 
user to "learn" the keys.  I would then store some sort of a lookup 
table inside a shared object.  I'm not sure what the interface would 
look like, but it's an idea.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

[flexcoders] e4x Strings?

[artclifford]

I am familiar with e4x and know generally how to get information I need 
when I know the structure of an XML file. I was going to put together a 
utility as tutorial for new-hires to allow trying e4x to get different 
values.

I quickly ran into the problem that I cannot see a way to allow this to 
happen without creating my own e4x interpreter. Am I missing something? 
If I wanted a user to enter a string like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and 
want to get the xmllist matching that e4x string on an XML object can I 
do that? I know that [EMAIL PROTECTED] will give me what I 
want, I even know that xmlVar["somenode"]["@someAttribute"] will give 
me what I want. But xmlVar["[EMAIL PROTECTED]"] doesn't work. Nor 
does xmlVar.decendants("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");

I know Adobe has the D.eval stuff for providing eval in AS, but I was 
hopeing for a solution that doesn't require external libraries.

Thanks for any input,

ArtC

[flexcoders] Tree has same number of items after expand but not after change

[flex_geek]

Hi, all,

In Flex 3 I have a Tree control that is doing dynamic loading of 
children. To simplify: I do a search that retrieves a root set of 15 
folders. When I click on a folder, a function executes that retrieves 
the children and expands the folder to reveal them. This works 
correctly - the tree now displays the original 15 folders plus all 
the children of the folder I clicked on. 

On the other hand, if instead of clicking on the folder, I click on 
the plus sign (or on Mac the triangle) to the left of the folder, the 
folder opens and displays items, but the total number of items 
displaying in the tree is only 15 (the same number as the original 
number of folders) - so some of the folders disappear, and only a few 
children display in the open folder. If I close the folder using the 
minus and reopen it with the plus, all the items that should be 
displaying do then appear (i.e., the 15 folders plus all the 
children).

What is odd is that I am using basically the same function for both 
events, the main difference being the event that is being passed to 
it.

Here are the two functions:

private function handleTreeChange( event:Event ):void
 {
   var selectedItem:Object = Tree( event.target ).selectedItem;

   if( selectedItem is FolderNode )
fetchFolderInfo( FolderNode( selectedItem ) );
 }

private function handleRetrieve( event:TreeEvent ):void
  { 
  if( event.item is FolderNode && event.opening )
   fetchFolderInfo( FolderNode( event.item) );
  } 

private function fetchFolderInfo( folder:FolderNode ):void
 {
  //Items contains the children of the FolderNode
  //so if the folder already has items, don't go doing
 // the whole search thing
  if( folder.Items.length != 0 )
return;

  loadingPanel.visible = true;

  catalogTreeGenerator.getFoldersOrStyles(theRootDBName, folder.Id, 
theCatalogFKName);
  catalogTreeGenerator.addEventListener("nonRootItemsArrayReady", 
addFolderItems);

   function addFolderItems(e:Event):void{   
  folder.Items = new ArrayCollection(e.currentTarget.fsItems as 
Array );
catalogTree.validateNow();
catalogTree.expandItem( folder, true, true, false );
loadingPanel.visible = false;   
catalogTreeGenerator.removeEventListener
("nonRootItemsArrayReady", addFolderItems);
}
  }

Can anyone shed any light on why clicking on the plus next to a 
folder the first time (doing the handleRetrieve function triggered 
by "itemOpening" event) would cause the tree to only display a number 
of items equal to the original number of folders, when clicking on 
the folder itself (doing the handleTreeChange function triggered 
by "change" event) causes the tree to display all the appropriate 
items?

Thanks very much for any help.

[flexcoders] help me settle an argument

[Mike Oliver]

I have a colleague that is of the opinion that SQL statements in Java Code
such as DAO classes is bad practice, that the SQL statements and parameter
tokens be externalized into Contants or property files.  I maintain that is
not only not necessary in general but given our loosely coupled service
oriented architecture the classes are largely not in any sort of complex
dependency so modifying code doesn't have the ripples of monolithic desktop
or client server applications.

So while it is true you can change the SQL statement if needed without
changing the code and even change syntax if you need to change databases,
how often does that happen anyway?  And how often do you change the SQL
without having to change the classes?

I look at DAO classes from Adobe Labs and Sun Microsystems and see SQL
statements in the code so I figure if it is good enough for them it is good
enough for us.

What say you all?

[flexcoders] Center Registration Point in Flex 3 (Matrix3D)

[viatropos]

Hi,

I am trying to do a basic 3d rotation of a Flex UIComponent (using Flex 3.2) 
and I can't 
make it rotate around its center.  I checked out some of Flex 4's classes, on 
how they 
accomplished the FxRotate3D effect which is centered, but it's too complex to 
just extract 
out the parts I need (and the effect is very bug prone anyway).

How do you set the UIComponent to have a center registration point if you are 
using 3D 
effects?  I've tried using the basic Matrix class, as there are some examples 
of centering 
registration points in 2D, but they don't work here.  I have done the following 
so far and 
have achieved at least a 3d rotation, but I can't control where it is (I don't 
know much 
about matrices).

myView.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, tick);

private function tick(event:Event):void {
myView.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(1, Vector3D.Y_AXIS)
}

I would like to be able to just have the object rotate like you would see in 
papervision 
using the camera, but I don't know where to start.

Thanks for your help.

And when I sniff the message between the .swf and the webservice, the

Re: [flexcoders] Flex / Data / Create Application from Database - Can this also work as a module?

[elfoman]

I created a component by click on File, New Component, and copied the code
from the database aplication Flex created for me into the  New Component.

Then I inserted the new component into my Accordion and ran my main
application, the database component is there but when I click the "Save"
button nothing happens. It just stays on the same screen and doesn't save
anything to the database.

Can someone help me fix this so that I can save and return to the main
screen?

This is my project, what I have so far (only 87KB):

[flexcoders] Loading swf with flashvars into Flex

[ericbichara]

Hi,

I have several widgets which use flashvars and i wanted to create a
gallery application to showcase them in flex. I need to therefore load
them into flex and pass flashvars parameters into the loaded swfs. I
tryed the following:



but the loaded swf says the params are null. Is there some way to do
this? I dont want to have to change all the widgets to be able to
recieve these parameters some other way than flashvars as they do now.
Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Browser History & Firefox 3 & OS X Issue (white flashing)

[stoff0]

I was all psyched to get browser history working so easily in my app,
but now it looks like it's causing white flashing in firefox 3 and os
x. At first I thought it was just me, but it looks like the most basic
example has this effect. Take a look:

http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/flex3/flex_updated/DeepLinking/index.html#

(if you click the receiving tab you see the white flash in ff3)

This uses the standard adobe embed code from adobe, but it is taken
from the swfobject page: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/flex3/

It seems that whenever i call setFragment on the IBrowserManager (the
call that updates the fragment) it flashes just like in the example above.

The combo that I've narrowed down to so far is the following:
 - ff3
 - os x
 - dynamic embedding
 - flash 9.114

Anyone come across this problem?

Why is it disastrous? The flash player is single threaded so it's not 
possible have concurrently running code (something I think that Adobe should 
address in the future) so why shouldn't all the waiting listeners be called?

It's not possible to resume execution elsewhere while a listener is still 
active because that would require semaphores to handle pseudo concurrency 
and I'm sure that holds true not just for the listeners themselves but also 
for the mechanism that calls the waiting listeners.

That's always the case with Flash/Flex.

Cheers
