[flexcoders] FlexBuilder on 64bit machine any good?
Hi guys I'm in the process of choosing a new machine to be placed under my christmas tree :). I wonder, if anybody has some experiences with 64 bit machines and FlexBuilder? Does it run at all? What is the performance like? Does it make use of lots of RAM? Cheers Ralf.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do I include a file in the AIR app-storage directory at install time?
when creating an install you can include files which get dumped in the application directory. then on first time startup you use the file api to copy it over. no you should not write info in the application directory as permissions can be an issue, but copying from there is pretty simple.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How do I include a file in the AIR app-storage directory at install time?
If you're using flexbuilder to package, then probably the easiest way is to check copy non embedded files to output folder in project | properties | flex compiler, But I find this to be a bit messy at times. If not, then you can kind of cheat. When you publish your .air file, it will offer you the choice of files to include in the archive. If you click back at this point then you have the opportunity (outside of flexbuilder) to copy any files you need to the bin-release folder that gets temporarily created as part of the publishing operation. Back in flexbuilder, click next again and you'll be back in the stage where you can specify files to include, but now you'll have the opportunity to select the files you just copied to bin-release. This, however, gets old pretty quickly! I now have an ant build script that packages everything up for me, without having to think / remember to copy certain files. I'm not sure if my script is generic enough or even clear enough to be much help to anyone though, to be honest I found it quite hard work to get it all working from a nil level of ant knowledge/experience. If there's anything specific you need to ask on that, however, then I'll do my best (Though I'm sure many people on the list are better qualified than myself in that respect). In regard of copying it over, you'll need to check if the file is there when the app starts, and copy it if not. There's not any scripting in the Air installer itself. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jim Boone Sent: 15 December 2008 13:36 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How do I include a file in the AIR app-storage directory at install time?

Re: [flexcoders] Disable Flash Player Settings Panel
That's a tough problem that I've had to deal with before. Here is what I figured out. - You widget MUST be 216 x 140 (some people will argue you can do 215 wide, but in my testing sometimes that causes issues) - The main issue that you will run into is... When the player window is too small, the settings panel will either 1) not show up at all OR 2) Show up clipped and in some browsers which will not register mouse events to the player - You cannot disable the settings panel. Here are a couple of workarounds that I figured out: - The widget needs to be 216 x 140 ONLY when you're asking for permission to the microphone. If you have control of Javascript on the page, you can change the size of the flash object on the page temporarily while you show the settings panel. - You can use Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.PRIVACY); to control when you want the settings panel to show up. - Using the Security.showSettings method is helpful because there is a Remember button on that panel. If the user chooses Remember, then you never have to show the Settings panel again. - The Microphone status events get dispatched when a user changes a Microphone setting within the settings panel. ( _mic.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, onMicStatus); ) - On your Microphone class, the muted property will tell you if you have access to the microphone or not.

Subject: [flexcoders] Loading network SWFs from SWF hosted on
filesystem (SWF is not a loadable module
I'm trying so far in vain to load a module from a network domain from
a SWF that was loaded via the filesystem. Every time I try and load
the module, I get the following error:
SWF is not a loadable module.
I have seen this same problem discussed elsewhere on FlexCoders and
other blogs but I am getting very conflicting views. Some people say
this kind of module loading is not supported
(http://www.nabble.com/Problems-using-Flex-modules-td15188446.html)
but the Adobe Flash Player 9 Security white paper clearly indicate it
is possible:
A SWF file may also call Security.allowDomain() with the wildcard
parameter * to allow any domain.
This is necessary to allow a local-with-networking SWF file to
cross-script a network SWF file.
Anyway, off to the example project I created. Here are two very basic
mxmls.
TestApplication.mxml -- (loaded via file system, this attempts to load
a simple module hosted at localhost)
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=vertical initialize=init()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.events.ModuleEvent;
private function init() : void
{
Security.allowDomain(localhost);
Security.loadPolicyFile(http://localhost/crossdomain.xml;);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(event
: Event) {
trace(Finished loading crossdomain.);
trace(loader.data);
});
loader.load(new
URLRequest(http://localhost/crossdomain.xml;));
}
private function erroredOut(event : ModuleEvent) : void
{
trace(event.errorText);
}
private function loadIt() : void
{
loaderOfModules.url = http://localhost/SimpleModule.swf;;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button click=loadIt() label=Load module from localhost /
!-- Sandbox type reads local-trusted --
mx:Text text={Security.sandboxType} /
mx:ModuleLoader id=loaderOfModules width=100% height=500
error=erroredOut(event)
applicationDomain={ApplicationDomain.currentDomain}/
/mx:Application
SimpleModule.mxml (the module hosted at localhost)
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Module xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
initialize=Security.allowDomain('*')
mx:Text text=Hi there /
/mx:Module
And the crossdomain.xml file hosted at localhost. (Although according
to some Adobe docs, this file is not even needed to do crossscripting,
only for loading data.)
?xml version=1.0?
cross-domain-policy
allow-access-from domain=* /
/cross-domain-policy
Note that I can get this example to work fine if I host the
Application SWF from one network domain and load the module from
another network domain without changing a thing. I only get the error
when the loading SWF is hosted on the filesystem. Also note that the
Application.swf is in a folder designated as locally trusted and I
confirm this by looking at the Security.sandboxType variable at runtime.
I am using Flex 3 and running this with Flash Player 9 debugger version.
So my questions are:
* Is this scenario even supported? If not, what's with the
documentation I quoted from Adobe above? If yes, what am I missing?
* And do crossdomain.xml files even used

I find it hard to believe you have read through all the tutorials concerning flex/cf authentication and they are not clear. I do not know ColdFusion. I have never used ColdFusion. I use PHP. Nevertheless, I downloaded and installed the Developer version of ColdFusion 8.0.1. I did a google search for Flex ColdFusion Tutorial and on the first page found these links: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/adobetv_cfpwrdflex.html http://flexcf.com/home http://www.cflex.net/showfiledetails.cfm?ChannelID=1Object=FileobjectI\ D=618 http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/node/256076 I watched the video by Ben Forta at the first link (I did not even look at the other three links). This video walks you through setting up a CRUD application with Flex/ColdFusion. It can automatically add a login screen which I did. Once everything is set up, you can run this app and it will popup a login window. You can input anything you want in this window and it will log you in (By changing states). Now, it was a matter of a few minutes perusing other files to figure out a little bit about the language and I then changed the login function in the Auth.cfc file (Located in the components/cfgenerated/managers directory). The original code was: cffunction name=login access=remote returntype=boolean cfreturn true /cffunction And I modified it to: cffunction name=login access=remote returntype=boolean cfargument name=useremail required=true / cfargument name=password required=true / cfif (arguments.useremail EQ a...@b.com) AND (arguments.password EQ xyz) cfreturn true cfelse cfreturn false /cfif /cffunction There you have your hard coded username and password. It seems to me that if I can figure this out without having touched ColdFusion before then someone who uses ColdFusion could have done it in about two minutes.

[flexcoders] Test-driven development in Flex
I am fairly new to Flex but have a reasonable amount of experience with test-driven development in Java and .NET. I have been told that test-driving Flex development is not possible. I am not convinced as I have been told similar things on other projects in the past and then proven that they are possible. I am wondering: 1) How many people actually use a testing framework (FlexUnit, Fluint, FUnit, AsUnit) when doing Flex development? 2) Does using a testing framework change the way that you structure your Flex applications? 3) How many use test-driven development with the Cairngorm framework? - Errol Thompson Kiwi-ET Computing Education Research Wellington, New Zealand Phone: +64 21 210 1662 E-Mail: kiwiet (at) acm.org kiwiet (at) computer.org Web: www.thompsonz.net -
RES: [flexcoders] Custom event--please help me
Because the events are dispatched in the MainApp. Your BasePanel dont
receive the event.
Application
+ MainApp
+ BasePanel
The event is dispatched on the MainApp layer, so, even using bubbles you
wont get the event, cause the bubbles goes up.
You could try to add the listener on the Application layer, and use
bubbles, or, use the observer pattern, create a singleton class to
dispatch the event, and add the listener on it.

Hi
i've a problem..anibody can help me?
i created this class:

private var array:ArrayCollection
public function CompleteEvent(type:String,
array:ArrayCollection)
{
super(type);
this.array = array;
}
public override function clone():Event {
return new CompleteEvent(type, array);
}
}
the main class create the array through a socket connection within the
socket listeners for Socket.DATA...in the method listeners dispatch the
event...
[Event(name=newEvent, type=CompleteEvent)]
public class MainApp{
socket.addEventListeners(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, socketData); ...
private function socketData(event:Event):void {
...some code to create array from server data...
//dispatch event
var dipsatcher:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher();
var ev:CompleteEvent = new CompleteEvent(newEvent, array);
dispatcher.dispatchEvent(ev);
}
}
and this other class listens for the event
public class BasePanel extends Panel
{
private function dataEventHandler():void {
trace(Array retrieved);
}
public function BasePanel()
{
super();
this.addEventListener(newEvent,
dataEventHandler);
}
}
but not working the BasePanel class doesn't listen for the event..

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Disable Runtime Binding Warnings
Hmm, that normally works to stop those warnings. Maybe Flex is not
recognizing @title as XML.
One solution would be to pass the entire node into your custom component
and pull out the attribute in there. This has other advantages, such as
making the entire item available in a event handler without recourse to
getRepeterItem().

RE: [flexcoders] FlexBuilder on 64bit machine any good?
I've had pretty good luck with it so far - I have it running on 3 different laptops and 1 desktop PC - ALL are 64-bit Operating Systems. I should say that 2 machines are running Vista x64 and 2 are running XP x64 Edition. One weird part when running on Vista (if you are using ColdFusion) is configuring IIS - it's fairly involved and can be frustrating. Lots of articles on the net though regarding how to set it up. One cool thing too, is Adobe has a 64-bit version of ColdFusion - so it takes advantage of all the RAM. My laptops are all limited to 4 gigs of RAM, but my desktop has 8 gigs. I am still using my previous FlexBuilder.ini file, which of course specifies all the RAM preferences. As far as I know (at least in my case) FlexBuilder and/or Eclipse is still only 32-bit, so they are still bound to the 32-bit limitations. Overall - I had good luck with it.

Re: [flexcoders] Application.application.parameters doesn't hold GET query parameters
I don't believe Flash natively reads URL parameters from the browsers query
string.
However, here are a few ways you can do it:
- Write a javascript (or serverside) method that takes the browsers query
string and the passes them in as flashvars.
- You CAN add a query string directly to the embed code, (ex
UrlParams.swf?foo=bar), Those will be treated as flashvars as well.
- If you have javascript access on the page, add an ExternalInterface
call which will return the query string to your swf.
Hope that helps,

[flexcoders] Custom event--please help me
Hi
i've a problem..anibody can help me?
i created this class:
public class CompleteEvent extends Event
{
private var array:ArrayCollection
public function CompleteEvent(type:String,
array:ArrayCollection)
{
super(type);
this.array = array;
}
public override function clone():Event {
return new CompleteEvent(type, array);
}
}
the main class create the array through a socket connection within the
socket listeners for Socket.DATA...in the method listeners dispatch
the event...
[Event(name=newEvent, type=CompleteEvent)]
public class MainApp{
socket.addEventListeners(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, socketData);
...
private function socketData(event:Event):void {
...some code to create array from server data...
//dispatch event
var dipsatcher:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher();
var ev:CompleteEvent = new CompleteEvent(newEvent, array);
dispatcher.dispatchEvent(ev);
}
}
and this other class listens for the event
public class BasePanel extends Panel
{
private function dataEventHandler():void {
trace(Array retrieved);
}
public function BasePanel()
{
super();
this.addEventListener(newEvent, dataEventHandler);
}
}
but not working the BasePanel class doesn't listen for the event..
thanks a lot

RE: [flexcoders] Application.application.parameters doesn't hold GET query parameters
Yes, as nate says. Remember, you are callling an *html* file. Html is
dumb unless you code in javascript. Here are some snippets that you can
add to the html wrapper that pass querystring parameers into Flex.
First, declare a variable to hold the params:
var _sPassedUrlParms = new String(document.location).split('?')[1];
//Get any passed-in querystring parms
Then, pass that into the Flex app:
AC_FL_RunContent(
src, Coalesce,
...
flashvars, _sPassedUrlParms,
...
);

I don't believe Flash natively reads URL parameters from the browsers
query string.
However, here are a few ways you can do it:
* Write a javascript (or serverside) method that takes the
browsers query string and the passes them in as flashvars.
* You CAN add a query string directly to the embed code, (ex
UrlParams.swf?foo=bar), Those will be treated as flashvars as well.
* If you have javascript access on the page, add an
ExternalInterface call which will return the query string to your swf.

[flexcoders] Auto-scrolling of selectable Text controls
If you have a Text field with selectable text, it's possible to scroll the content by clicking on the text and dragging downwards. This leaves (in one simple case I've made) the top line of text obscured, and an apparent blank line at the bottom. Is there any way to prevent this without making the text non-selectable? Michael

When you close the popup:
PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
Flex removes it from the Display List. Note that the loginForm

Anything a user has added to textinputs will still be there. There

no logic to save the state of combo boxes (Or check boxes or radio

What you would need to do is add logic to save the state of these

That didn't come out how I wanted it to. Let's try again.
I can see how the documentation can be confusing. When they say, Within
the query string of the application's URL, they simply mean the URL
pointing to the flash file itself. (ex:
http://foobar.com/UrlParams.swf?foo=bar)
Yea, that's much nicer.

Is there anyway to stop binding warnings (or all warnings from being
logged to the console)? I've tried to turn off warnings with compiler
arguments like:
-compiler.show-binding-warnings=false
-warnings=false
I also tried unchecking enable warnings checkbox in flex builder.
It looks like none of these have an effect on runtime warnings
(warnings that get logged to the console)
For some background the reason I'm attempting this is because I'm
getting about 200 warnings on some xml binding and it's really slowing
things down for me and probably everyone with the debug player.

How much data do you really need to load in the tree? If it's only a thousand or so records, while that may be a lot to some, it's fine to load at once and forget lazy loading. If the data is sent to client via AMF then the size over the wire isn't that big either, and most likely the additional impact on the server is minimized by doing one bigger call instead of lots of small calls. The user also gets a better experience through a more responsive UI. Additionally, trees are not as supportive with lazy loading data as other controls. See this post which coincidentally is from the day before you posted your question. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/12/tree_and_lazy_or_paged_data_1.html And lazy loading the data brings in more complexity which makes it harder to develop, test, and maintain.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Loading network SWFs from SWF hosted on filesystem (SWF is not a loadable module
Typically, you want to test in local-trusted instead of local-with-networking
and use relative paths to all assets (and have those assets in the local
filesystem). Then when you deploy those files to a server in the same folder
configuration, everything should just work.
If you use an absolute path, then in local-trusted it is seen as a foreign
domain, and by default modules will not work unless you set the
SecurityDomain.currentDomain on the module loader. However, that will still
set up a different topology of trust than when you deploy and the loading app
is on the same server as the module.
So, only use absolute paths if you'll always be loading the module from a
different domain. There might be issues using SecurityDomain.currentDomain in
local-trusted sandboxes. You can sometimes get yourself into configurations
that can only be tested while deployed and served over http:

I'm trying so far in vain to load a module from a network domain from
a SWF that was loaded via the filesystem. Every time I try and load
the module, I get the following error:
SWF is not a loadable module.
I have seen this same problem discussed elsewhere on FlexCoders and
other blogs but I am getting very conflicting views. Some people say
this kind of module loading is not supported
(http://www.nabble.com/Problems-using-Flex-modules-td15188446.html)
but the Adobe Flash Player 9 Security white paper clearly indicate it
is possible:
A SWF file may also call Security.allowDomain() with the wildcard
parameter * to allow any domain.
This is necessary to allow a local-with-networking SWF file to
cross-script a network SWF file.

If you click back at this point then you have the opportunity (outside of flexbuilder) to copy any files you need to the bin-release folder that gets temporarily created as part of the publishing operation. Back in flexbuilder, click next again and you'll be back in the stage where you can specify files to include, but now you'll have the opportunity to select the files you just copied to bin-release. This, however, gets old pretty quickly! I now have an ant build script that packages everything up for me, without having to think / remember to copy certain files. I'm not sure if my script is generic enough or even clear enough to be much help to anyone though, to be honest I found it quite hard work to get it all working from a nil level of ant knowledge/experience. If there's anything specific you need to ask on that, however, then I'll do my best (Though I'm sure many people on the list are better qualified than myself in that respect).

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Anything other than a JS alert can delay a window close?
HTTP session timeout at the server is the only sure-fire way to detect a client has left. Catching Javascript events at the client and attempting to notify the server may shortcut this process _when_ it works - but it provides no guarantees that it will. Even if your Javascript is able to put a request onto the network or get Flash to issue a request via ExternalInterface before the browser closes, the notification over the network could be lost, for instance if an intermediate router crashes. Depending on the behavior of your app, you can shorten this time interval by lowering your session timeout in web.xml. If you're trying to detect the client leaving specific pages this is more difficult with HTTP because your connection (i.e. session) spans all the pages of your site that are loaded in the browser process. When the session times out, you could treat this as a leave for all pages the client has viewed during its session. For RTMP (not available in BlazeDS) because we're dealing with a stateful connection (unlike HTTP where connections are stateless) as soon as the RTMP connection closes when the user closes their browser or navigates away from a page containing your Flex app, we detect that and you can respond to this event on the server. In this case, if different pages contain individual swfs that you're tracking, as soon as the client leaves a page and the connection closes you can track that directly.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Anything other than a JS alert can delay a window close?
One could hack around this by faking state, no? Have the client open a socket to the server and the server can just manually heartbeat it so that the connection is not dropped (the client of course must read off and discard the heartbeats). We're doing this (and more along the same lines) at Truviso and it works reasonably well (although there are some pretty hideous corner-case problems with--surprise--Internet Explorer). Doing this with URLStream (the way we do) will count a connection against your total open limit (discussed in a number of places; e.g., here: http://www.openajax.org/runtime/wiki/The_Two_HTTP_Connection_Limit_Issue ). Note also that maintaining an open connection (and more importantly, a thread) per client is not very efficient, and may not be appropriate for all setups. Doing this with a raw Socket should also be possible (though you'd need an open port), would avoid the connection limit issue, and (I'm pretty sure) would be more scalable. Also, you may need to deal with temporary disconnections when the socket connection fails, but the client is still there.

[flexcoders] Re: Anything other than a JS alert can delay a window close?
We have had success in onBeforeUnload, make the final request, and then in onUnload, create a 500ms loop in JS which gives the networking layer enough time to put the request on the wire before the flash is torn down. This was for a logout call, and it worked pretty well except in Safari (it might work on safari now, I am not sure). Since it was only a logout call and we had a timeout after 30 seconds anyway, it was not a huge issue if it was not 100% successful. But in practice it works pretty well. It's one of those crazy ideas that you just do if you absolutely need to. I think gmail might do the same thing for gchat; if you close a gmail window you will notice a slight delay.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Loading network SWFs from SWF hosted on filesystem (SWF is not a loadable module
I was unclear you needed to load from different domains. I don't know how you would get your current configuration to work when deployed over HTTP unless the module and main swf were on the same domain, and in such a case, relative URLs would be better. I think you are caught in one of those scenarios I described. In order to use cross-domain modules, you need to set SecurityDomain.currentDomain and thus can only test when deployed over HTTP.

[flexcoders] OutOfMemory without using allocated memory?
My colleague is hitting an OutOfMemory error when building an application library with compc from ant. We've previously had to set the fork attribute to true (as suggested here and there for OutOfMemory errors) and set the maxmemory attribute to 512m. However, now he's getting the error again, and the machine reports this before getting anywhere near the max: he uses ~100MB and then the compc task fails. He's using about 1/2 of 4GB of memory total. Any ideas? This is a 64-bit Windows Server 2003 system with Flex SDK 3.0.0. The weirdest part is that this still *seems* to produce a working .swc, but I'm (I hope understandably) somewhat wary of it. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Custom event--please help me
Don't call new EventDispatcher(), it won't be any real use. The main
reason you would want to create an instance of EventDispatcher itself is
when you're building a class that is an IEventDispatcher, but inherits from
a base class that is not an IEventDispatcher, because we don't have multiple
inheritance in AS3. When you do that, you need to use something like:
private var myEventDispatcher : IEventDispatcher = new
EventDispatcher(this);
and then you proxy all your implementations of IEventDispatcher methods to
use that, ie:
public function dispatchEvent(event:Event):Boolean
{
return myEventDispatcher.dispatchEvent(event);
}
But the important part is that you create it with the (this) parameter so
the internal stuff knows who is actually the dispatcher of the event in
question, which is important in order to perform the bubble and capture
stages. Without it, nobody will ever be able to catch the events without
having a reference to the instance of EventDispatcher that you create, as it
will have no ties to the object that created it, and it cannot be added to
the display list.

So U can try

basePanel.dispatchEvent(ev);
instead
var dipsatcher:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher();
dispatcher.dispatchEvent(ev);
And U should have a look at;

RE: [flexcoders] How would I Overwrite contents of External XML File
Hi Anuj,
All the investigation I have done points to it not being possible in flex
(non-air flex). So amfPHP is a logical option for you, especially if you have
already had experience with it.

There must be some other option rather than converting to a string.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex dates and time zones.
I've had a fair bit of experience wrestling date problems in Flex; Aside
from the fact that SchemaManager marshalls xsi:Date as Zulu time instead of
local (which isn't technically incorrect, just annoying as hell for us
aussies), every time there's a problem it's because Flex is doing the right
thing, and the server is sending an incorrect value, or what the clients
actually want is not possible without also passing along the server timezone
in another field.
For you aussies out there, the easiest way to cut down on these problems is
to use midday instead of midnight when you're referring to an all day date
using a Flash Date or xsi:DateTime. We do this by filtering requests and
responses on the server-side, and a subclass of DateField that sets the time
values to midday (as well as letting you 'unset' the date value) on the
client side.
If you're getting yesterday in Flex when you mean today, you've usually got
00:00:00+10:00 on the server, and it's getting truncated after being
converted to Zulu for transport somewhere. Or, you're setting a midnight
date in NSW which is +11 at the moment, and the client machine is in
Queensland which is still +10, or somewhere else which is further West. Your
server sends (today)T00:00:00+11:00, which may or may not get converted to
Zulu as (yesterday)13:00:00Z in transport. The client correctly interprets
this as 23:00:00+10:00 on the client machine, which is then truncated when
displaying as date-only display field.
Basically, if you want clients in timezone X to show times that are in
timezone Y, you need to have timezone Y be part of the information you're
sending alongside the actual datetime value, or send strings.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex dates and time zones.
I guess I really don't understand what the problem is here?? I have a
smalldatetime (or a datetime) in a MSSQL database. I setup a value object in
AS to have the date field as a Date object. I go get the date from
ColdFusion using RemoteObject. The cfc sets up a CF value object with the
date as a CF Date object. And, voila, the MSSQL datetime becomes an AS Date
object.
I don't have to convert anything to a string, or any other kind of object.
So, what's the problem here???

Re: [flexcoders] Flex dates and time zones.
If you're in the US, you're unlikely to run up against these issues at all.
The problem is, computers think about dates and times attached to timezones,
but most of the time our clients do not. That and Flash has no date-only
object, whereas people want to use dates instead of datetimes all over the
place.

AS to have the date field as a Date object. I go get the date from
ColdFusion using RemoteObject. The cfc sets up a CF value object with the
date as a CF Date object. And, voila, the MSSQL datetime becomes an AS Date
object.
I don't have to convert anything to a string, or any other kind of object.
So, what's the problem here???

Why does Flex do this?
If I get a date out of the db and want to deal with it as a date, surely
this should be possible. How can the flash player determine it needs to
change it to a different date.
There must be some other option rather than converting to a string.

Thanks Tracy,
I knew I was going to get this answer. I already got this working with
strings as a test sample looks like I have to convert the rest of the app.
Surely others are feeling my pain with this issue.
And Nate I look forward to seeing what you have come up with when its
ready.

I have a date in a server in Australia: 22/12/2008 12:00:00 AM
I am using this label function for the grid to try and fix the time zone
issue but my date always comes back to me as 21/12/2008 in the datagrid. I
really just wan the exact date from the database regardless of where I am in
the world.
Any ideas?
// Label Grid Date
public static function labelGridDate(item:Object,
column:DataGridColumn):String {
var formatter:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
var myDate:Date = item[column.dataField];
formatter.formatString = DD MMM ;
var offsetMilliseconds:Number =
item[column.dataField].getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000;
item[column.dataField].setTime(item[column.dataField].getTime()
+ offsetMilliseconds);
return formatter.format(item[column.dataField]);
}

Re: [flexcoders] Flex dates and time zones.
Here's what it comes down to...
The Date class in flash doesn't natively allow you to have a timezone other
than your local timezone and UTC.
Take this example (my computer is in PST time):
var myDate:Date = new Date(Mon Dec 15 12:00:00 GMT-0400 2008);
trace(myDate.toString());
trace(myDate.toUTCString());
Output:
Mon Dec 15 08:00:00 GMT-0800 2008
Mon Dec 15 16:00:00 2008 UTC
So if someone passes a DateTime from a server that has a timezone offset
which differs from the local timezone of the client's machine. Flex doesn't
save that offset when it's unmarshalled. If you pass them as a string, the
timezone data is preserved.
HTH,
Nate

RE: [flexcoders] Flex dates and time zones.
The problem is that somehow.
If the server serving that date is in a different location to you, flash
player says, well I wont show that date I just got from the database, I'll
adjust it to your time. This is totally useless, so for example if Im
logging actions in an audit, the date in those logs could look different
from one user to another.
