Re: [flexcoders]How do I know if a class is on the Application?
I mean like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute managers:MyBadPracticesClass / /mx:Application If it was a display object all the suggestions would work but it extends EventDispatcher and manages states, etc. The problem was that the id was not getting set. It also was not enumerated when I looped through the application. What I had to do was implement the IMXMLObject interface. This notified the application to call an initialized function that passed in a reference to the document (application) and id of the instance both of which are not present when you extend EventDispatcher or Object. I did this so that I could make it behave like a singleton. But it's all working now in bad practices land. :P Paul, this is a reincarnation of the other question (posted before it was solved).

[flexcoders]Change state without dispatching events
Is there a way to change states without generating an event?
[flexcoders]Count the number of arguments on a function
Is there a way to count how many arguments there are on a function from
outside that function? For example,
Class1:
// myFunction has one parameter of type string
myFunction(myParam:String) {
}
Class2:
someFunction() {
// for example,
// i want to get a count of arguments of myFunction, name, if they are
required and their type
var argumentLength = class1.myFunction.arguments.length;
var argumentName = class1.myFunction.arguments[0].name;
var argumentClass = class1.myFunction.arguments[0].class;
var argumentRequired = class1.myFunction.arguments[0].required;
}
Re: [flexcoders]Change state without dispatching events
Hi, Yes you can do it using databinding, by keeping one of the variable which is aceessible from anywhere throughout the application [inside static class like ModelLocator] and according to its change you can change the state. 2009/1/14 dorkie dork from dorktown dorkiedorkfromdorkt...@gmail.com Is there a way to change states without generating an event?

I've a problem with the DataGrid ignoring the % width, while using

described in the bug setting the width to 0 works for me in a simple
test case but doesn't appear to work within my main application.

I would like to extend datagrid with a version that doesn't have this
issue if I can figure out why a fixed width doesn't work.
I've left a reply on the bug:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14390
Basically your DataGrid's minWidth is too large for the Panel. You can
set the minWidth property to reduce it. By default the measured value
for minWidth is always going to be large enough to accommodate all the
columns.
Manish
Okay sorry If I wasn't clear enough about it basically the data grid
stretches, but not enough to accomidate all columns. Nor even enough to fill
the container. Setting a width of 0 makes the datagrid remember its
constraint layout. Some other intresting factors in my test case if I leave
on column not dynamically created specified in the mxml, and replace it with
the dynamic columns then it works correctly.
The other point is that it still occurs even if horizontal scroll policy is
set to on. (Which is actually the way I want it to work). Again I got this
reply when I was at home so it will have to wait until tomorrow if I produce
a test case.
My test case was simply adding a data grid to an application and either
giving it a right constraint or a percentage width. The I created a loop and
created an array of DataGridColumn headers. Then I set this array as the
datagrid column array.
Anyway thanks for your time Manis.
Wesley
Okay he're is a simple test case. I notice that setting the data
before setting the columns works correctly. I'm not quite sure whats
going on. Also if you remove the temp rows from the mxml creating
the columns causes the stretching behaviour.
Obviously this isnt' my real app but it does work in the same way as
my real app.
In the real app when the data is added to to collection that the app
is bound to it creates a column. Theres more logic to creating a
column however so thats why I need to have a dynamic column.
anyway example below.
Is there anything I can override to fix this behaviour?

[flexcoders] Passing a function reference to an item renderer
I have an item renderer for a list control and I want to delegate the
editing of the object that the item renderer is showing to its

list that the item renderer belongs to.
I have set up the item renderer inline something like this (embedded in

mx:List id=lst_Opportunities dataProvider={_opps}
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
ns1:my_Renderer/
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:List
snip...
script
private function handleEdit(o:Object):void
{
}
/script
What I then did was add a public function variable, doEdit, to
my_Renderer and a handler for the double-click event which looked for
the doEdit function and called it passing the object associated with the
renderer...
(embedded in my_Renderer, which is just a canvas)
public var onEdit:function = null;
private function onDoubleClick():void
{
if (onEdit != null) onEdit(this.data);
}
This is a pattern that I tend to use a lot in other contexts as it gives
me a great deal of flexibility in re-using code.
The trouble is that I cannot give the item renderer the function pointer

wondering how to go about this.

[flexcoders] BlazeDS server environment configuration
Hi all, I have a generic question. I am using Flex plug-in to Eclipse, developing the client side of an application. I also use Tomcat and BlazeDS on the server side. The development installation was done without any hassles and works fine. Also I don't have any problems with my development work, or the documentation available. The configuration I have is using Remote Object Component on the server side to get data from the database. For this I still use the database installed by the turn-key installer of BlazeDS (Hsqldb database supplied with samples in turn-key installer, though I use my own schema and done my Java classes for the purpose). I have to change now from Hsqldb to MySQL and also adapt/change the server installation environment to this end, i.e: still be using Tomcat and BlazeDS but with MySQL instead of Hsqldb. To this end I need more complete guidance info than what's in the BlazeDS Developer Guide. Is there any complete book/documentation suitable to the purpose? Any cookbook? Any help on this is greatly appreciated thank you all in advance for helping me George

[flexcoders] [Resolved] Passing a function reference to an item renderer

I never stop finding out little mysterious helpful tricks with Flex.
It is very cool, but also quite frustrating. If you were at the beach
today I would probably never have found this out. Or maybe you are at
the beach on your iPhone... anyway +1 for FlexCoders, yet again.

[flexcoders] Valid Date Ranges in Flex
In creating a date filterd report generation system, I was asked to add an option for returning all data. Rather than reworking the backend I just added a checkbox to the UI that says return all data. If that box is checked then the properties return the following constants (randomely created by yours truly as I couldn't determine from docs what was valid). public static const MIN_DATE:Date = new Date(1500,1,1); public static const MAX_DATE:Date = new Date(2999,12,31); Here is the interesting part those dates actually return the following data. MIN_DATE.toString = Thu Feb 1 00:00:00 GMT-0500 1500 MAX_DATE.toString = Fri Jan 31 00:00:00 GMT-0500 3000 The first evaluation makes sense the second one is a bit more confusing. I would expect if the date I assign is too big that the date returned would be earlier not in the future. Anyone know what the valid range is? Thanks for your time, Greg

[flexcoders] Constraint-Based Layout with ColSpan?
Using constraint-based layout with content sizing, is there an easy way to have a child span columns (or rows) without resizing the child? As an oversimplified example, I have a 2x2 grid: * In each cell of the first row, I have a child. * In the second row, I want to center (or otherwise align) a child within the span of both columns. * The sizes of the children vary frequently in response to user input. Originally, I had thought to try something like this: mx:MyCenteredChild left=col1:0 right=col2:0 top=row2:0 width=n/ But, of course, this resizes the child to the width of both columns, which I do not want. I suppose I could have the thing layout without MyCenteredChild, then get the column widths it calculated, and then have it lay itself out again, this time adding MyCenteredChild with the exact left and right offsets that I need. But this feels overwrought. I guess I could also center the child in a container that was allowed to stretch to fill both columns, but I'd rather not have to add more components to get this to work. For other reasons, I'd prefer not to use the Grid container. I feel like I'm missing something obvious. I'd be grateful for any help!

Does anyone have any recommendations (or any blog posts to point me at) that may describe a pretty functional setup where building/publishing is done and Flash but editing of AS3 is done in Flex? I wish Adobe would just do a clean integration between the two (you know, something like a preference in Flash to designate Flex as the IDE instead of its built-in IDE) -- it'd certainly sell more copies of the two!

You could take control of the situation by updating the summary

Forgive the quick code, but something along the lines of:
...If you do that, summary could potentially be set by something
other than your function. Instead, what you want is to have is a
getter without a setter, like this:
[Bindable (event=summaryChanged)]
public function get summary():String {
var sumValue:String;
if (_repeat.length0){
sumValue = 'Repeat: ' + _repeat + '\n';
}
if (_duration.length0) {
sumValue = Duration: ' + _duration + '\n';
}
...
}
And you'd change your setters for the applicable variables to look
like this:
public function set repeat(value:String) {
if (value != _repeat) {
_repeat=value;
//this is the new code!
dispachEvent(new Event('summaryChanged');
}
}
Note that I'm assuming you're using an actual model class, not an
mx:Model. If you're using an mx.Model, go with the first advice you

I would suggest for this that you have your base version-1 database, and every change from then on is applied as a patch, incrementally. If you have 60 different database structure changes, then that's just an unfortunate situation you'll have to deal with. This solution is kinda easier than exporting the data from an old DB (of which could be any version) and importing it into a new one. Yeah, there's other ways around it, but version compatibility is always a pain. The idea of tagging every row with a version is also a good one - you could probably achieve this better using a log table and triggers though, rather than on the same table. If you really want absolute tracking of every data modification, you could do it like say instead of users(id, appversion, time, username, password) have users(id, username, password), users_log(id, action, username, password, appversion, time), and frequently archive/compress users_log - 'action' is something like pre-update, post-update, pre-delete, post-insert etc. Just remember that by doing this you increase the data stored by about a factor of 4. Just some ideas to think about. --Tim From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Benz Sent: Wednesday, 14 January 2009 2:24 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: AIR and SQLLite If you don't have to preserve any existing client data, then you could simply rip and replace the existing db file.

If you need to preserve some of the data then your problem becomes much more daunting. First you need to determine the rules by which an update is to occur. Is it at application start or part of some predefined schedule? What happens if one user leaves their client up for days/weeks/months and another restarts hourly? If you base on application start, how will you insure that you cover both use cases? How will you insure that client A and client B don't have different data?

}
}
// creates png ByteArray and sends it to a java remote object for saving
// This is the method that chops off the axis titles

[flexcoders] Re: warning on 'back' button before closing application?
Yes it is possible but you need some JavaScript
You can create a js include file or put this in your wrapper template
file. The idea is to put a event listener on the onbeforeunload
function. I have tested this in a few more common browsers and it
works.
window.onbeforeunload = warnOfUnsavedChanges;
function warnOfUnsavedChanges(){
//You can add a boolean to be set using externalInterface IF
the form/data is dirty in Flex
return 'You have unsaved changes on this page, which will be
discarded if you leave now. Click Cancel in order to save them
first.';
}
Simple string return from the onbeforeunload method does the trick.
I would also like to get this working from inside Flex to use the
externalInterface to inject the needed JS but I did not have luck yet
with this.

[flexcoders] Unreliable Local SharedObject in Flash 10!!!!
I searched the list for this issue and didn't find anything related. I have an app that saves a big file to the local SharedObject, I chunk it so I can display a progress bar, each chunk is 1M, I have 60 Meg of data. This worked flawless in Flash 9 (expected ha!), but with Flash 10, sometimes it doesn't save the data, no particular reason! I looked around the Adobe bugbase and there is already a bug (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1258), so I voted and commented on it. Well, if you want the local sharedobject to work, please vote!
Re: [flexcoders] Re: regular expression tester says it works, but it doesnt????
[^,] means match anything except commas, ie the ^ at the start of the
[] indicates that rather than match any of these characters it ought
to not match any of them.
You can't put patterns in the [], it's for defining a list of
characters (or a range, as in a-z).

Just add whatever characters are valid for the title into the

The problem, I think, is in your second set of parentheses. You
search

That
pattern does not appear in your search string.
Also, that .* between your two sets seems a little odd. It will

This successfully matches your string...maybe it will help you?

explains why the user triggered event of clicking the button works, but it

register
properly because the chartPanel doesn't ever get updated, just the data in the
chart element
whithin the panel. How do I get the update to register as an event as well?

And __locator is a ServiceLocator And when i change it to: var service: AbstractService = __locator.getService(roService); I still get the same warning. The code works, but I just want to be sure t do it all right. d
[flexcoders] Graying out the Tab Selection of the parent App
Hi All
I am trying to disable the canvas in ToggleButtonBar in my parent app,
Actually I am setting the disable property from differnt module of my
app. My disabling is working fine but I like to give it a grayed out
look, so I like to set the blurX or blurY property or give it a color,
The problem here is even if I set the blurX or blurY, it is not
showing the effect and on the other hand it is not accepting color
property, I am not sure how would I give tab in my parent app the
disabled look. Please help if anyone knows how to fix it.
Thanks
Following is my code
/*Parent App MXML Code*/
mx:Canvas id=_parentCanvas
!-- Content Area--
mx:ViewStack top=53 id=ContentStack resizeToContent=true
mx:Canvas label=Settings id=tab_Config enabled=true
ackgroundAlpha=3/mx:Canvas
/mx:Canvas
/mx:ViewStack
!-- Main navigation tab bar. Goes after ContentStack since it uses it
as a dataProvider. --
mx:ToggleButtonBar paddingTop=0 paddingBottom=0
id=TabBarMain
direction=vertical
dataProvider=ContentStack width=95 height=297
x=274 y=248/
/*Function Call from Module
//Working Fine
private function _Display():void
{
if (_group.selectedValue == 'Disabled')
{
parentApplication.tab_Config.enabled = false;
parentApplication.tab_DashBoard.label=;
//Does Not show Any effect
parentApplication.tab_Config.blurX = 10;
parentApplication.tab_DashBoard.blurY=10;
//Gives Error
parentApplication.tab_DashBoard.color='#ff';

[flexcoders] Chart axis values clipped

[flexcoders] Image loading indicators do not display in Firefox 2
Hi All, I am using a custom item renderer for a TileList that displays an image and a label for each item. The image has event listener functions for Open and Complete events. On the Open event we add a spinner component to provide a loading indicator and remove it on Complete. It works fine in IE however in Firefox 2 the spinner never appears. In debugging I have noticed the Open and Complete events are being fired in Firefox however one right after the other and I am thinking before the actual image is fully loaded. I added some logic in the Complete listener function to inspect the bytesLoaded against bytesTotal and they are equal. But why does the image not appear for a few seconds if fully loaded... From the archive I see similar issues but in those cases the events didn't fire, not the same for me. Has anyone seen this issue before? Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Greg

[flexcoders] Issue with load progress of RSL in custom preloader
I am using framework version 3.1 and I have created a custom preloader for my application. I want a smooth progress bar during this load so I figured I would just watch the load of the RSLs as they seem to be the biggest chunk of data (for now at least). I know this would miss some loading and the init phase, but I am not worried about that right now. The problem seems to be that the RSL progress event only fires for one of the RSLs that loads. So although the event says rslTotal = 2, the rslIndex is only ever 0. So I get a nice progress for one RSL, then it sits at 100% while the second one loads. Anyone run into this issue before and have a workaround? PS. I switched to the 3.2 framework and things got even stranger. It loaded the swf RSL, then the swz of the same rsl, then the swf again and didn't fire the complete event at all. Needless to say, I scrapped that idea and went back to 3.1. Steve

Re: [flexcoders]Change state without dispatching events
Seems to me that you may have two separate states and are really trying to use only one state when there should be two. What's the problem with having state 1 for state 1 functionality and state 2 for state 2 functionality? Other possible solutions may be changing states then calling a function afterwards, or perhaps changing states and issuing an event. Really depends on what your special functionality is.

Thank you VERY much for the excellent pointer. I don't know why they don't install it by default either. Then again, I also don't know why the Expressions window can't understand the expression -1!

Took me a while to find this when I needed it - don't know why they don't just install it if Flex 3 Pro is detected, but anyway... 2009/1/15 Pan Troglodytes chimpathe...@gmail.comchimpathetic%40gmail.com : Hmm, I should also mention that the error I'm getting is: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at mx.charts.series::BubbleSeries/findDataPoints()[C:\work\flex\dmv_automation\projects\datavisualisation\src\mx\charts\series\BubbleSeries.as:933] at mx.charts.chartClasses::ChartBase/findDataPoints()[C:\work\flex\dmv_automation\projects\datavisualisation\src\mx\charts\chartClasses\ChartBase.as:1974] at mx.charts.chartClasses::ChartBase/mouseOverHandler()[C:\work\flex\dmv_automation\projects\datavisualisation\src\mx\charts\chartClasses\ChartBase.as:4216] Which is really odd, considering I don't have a C:\work folder. It looks like for some reason it's showing the Adobe developer's paths.

The last time I've seen the datavisualization source distributed is in 3.0.0. Sometimes when I trace into SDK units (BubbleSeries.as at the moment), you can tell the debugger is going to a line from a different version of the file. Crashing on a line that contains var minItems:Array /* of BubbleSeriesItem */ = []; is kind of a dead giveaway.

Re: [flexcoders] regular expression tester says it works, but it doesnt????
Try this one:
\([^\]+)\:\?([^\,]+)\?
This should match all key-value pairs. Just iterate over them and choose the
ones you need.

pattern = new RegExp('(?=\name\:\).*(?=\,\\w*:)', 'i');
var resultArr:Array = pattern.exec(data);
resultArr ends up equaling null;
But if you check this: (?=\name\:\).*(?=\,\\w*:) using
http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ it says it works using this data
error:32,count:47,group:true,connection:39,warning:3,name:Workstations,title:Workstations,model:workstation,ticket:1,type:TagCategory,id:1
So why is it not working in my code? If anyone has any suggestions I
would appreciate it. I have been trying to get this to work for 10
hours straight.
TIA
