There's no point in adding copright notices before compilation.
Comments are stripped from compiled code.

Again, all comments are stripped, so there's no point. And if someone
is decompiling your code, chances are they know that they don't own
the copyright :) they just probably don't care.

You should be able to cast the dataProvider of the ADG to 
HierarchicalCollectionView and then use getNodeDepth:

private function styleFields(data:Object, 
column:AdvancedDataGridColumn):Object {
   var dataProvider:HierarchicalCollectionView = 
HierarchicalCollectionView(yourADG.dataProvider);
   var depth:int = dataProvider.getNodeDepth(data);
   switch(depth) {
  case 0:
 return {color:0xFF};
  case 1:
 return {color:0x00FF00};
  case 2:
 return {color:0xFF};
  default:
 return null;
   }
}

[flexcoders] copyright notices in code

2009-01-20 Thread arieljake

How do people add copyright notices to their code? When they create a
new file? 

What if the notice changes? Do they use ant to add it before
compilation to each file? 

Does compiling Flex remove the copyright notice? If so, should one
worry about having a copyright notice in the code for if/when it is
decompiled?

Anyone notice that comments are removed from an MXML file when it is
edited in design mode?

Any and all responses are invited!

Thank you Kevin!

I will try to do this during the next FB update. I had a gut feeling

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Add effect dynamically

You can use Strings, but they might need to be fully qualified when doing it
from ActionScript instead of CSS. You can also use

obj.setStyle("moveEffect", Move);

and

obj.setStyle("moveEffect", myMoveInstance);

Note that "myMoveInstance" would be an instance of mx.effects.Move, *not* an
instance of mx.effects.effectClasses.MoveInstance

Subject: [flexcoders] FMS attaching custom metadata to recorded streams

 

Hi All,

 

Can anyone point me to some resources showing how to attach custom
metadata properties to streams that are recorded via FMS? I've been
wrestling with it for a while and think I am just missing something
obvious somewhere.

 

I was trying the following sequence of events with no luck:

 

Start publishing:

 

myNetstream.publish("teststream", "record");

 

Set the metadata on the NetStream.Publish.Start or
NetStream.Record.Start events:

 

var myMetaData:Object = new Object();

myMetaData.author = "some author";

myNetstream.send("@setDataFrame", "onMetaData", myMetaData);

 

Everything records fine, and then when I playback the stream and
enumerate the metadata properties in the onMetaData callback, I only see
the default properties that FMS attaches, like duration, audiocodecid,
etc.  The author property assigned above returns as "undefined".

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Ryan

All of a sudden a few days ago, launching a debug session in FB3, results in
FB (or maybe debug player) logging constantly to the console. I get about 2
of these messages a second, and it doesnt stop till I terminate the debug
session. This does not output to flashlog.txt. It makes reading traces in FB
console very difficult.

Re: [flexcoders] hug cell contents in one cell on a datagrid

2009-01-20 Thread dnk

Well my problem is that the itemrenderer is rendered out, and the  
renderer changes size (state, etc), and when it does so, the cell just  
adds scroll bars to it. I was hoping that the cell could not add  
scroll bars, but rather readjust it's size for the new state.

RE: [flexcoders] LCDS - adding a new Item using createItem()

2009-01-20 Thread Jeff Vroom

There are actually two tokens for that operation - one returned from the 
createItem call itself.   It is actually a subclass of AsyncToken called 
ItemReference.  It has a bindable "result" value which gets set when the result 
comes in.First we'll deliver the result event for the createItem's token, 
then we deliver it for the batch itself.

The result for the commit token is not going to be the newly created item but 
the result for the createItem's token should be that item.

I'm still not sure why you are not seeing your id get set though... it should 
be set in the very same instance you pass to createItem.   The client and 
server debug logs would be the best way to track that down.

Hi,

Below is some code from my test application.  I am trying to create a new 
user-object using the createItem() method of my AbstractAssembler.
I have bound an event listener to my DataService that listens for ResultEvents. 
 The  resultHandler is called twice when createItem()  is called.

The first time the resultHandler is called, I get back my user-object, but with 
id 0 and event.token.kind = undefined.  So I have two problems,
why is the id of my user 0 (when I print it out serverside the id of the 
user-object is different from 0) and why is event.token.kind undefined (instead 
of "create")...

The second time the resultHandler is called event.token.kind equals "create" 
and the result is a mx.messaging.messages.AcknowledgeMessageExt

I hope you can help me out here...

Bart

My Flex code :

private function init():void
{
ds = new DataService("user");
ds.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,resultHandler);
ds.autocommit = false;
}

private function createUser():void
{
 var user:User = new User("Jeff");
 ds.createItem(user)

 var token:AsyncToken = ds.commit();
 token.kind = "create";
}

private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
 if(event.token.kind == "create")
 {
...
 }
 else
 {
  
 }
}

Java code  :

UserAssembler.java

   ...

   public void createItem(Object item)
   {
  UserDAO dao = new UserDAO();

  User newUser = (User) item;

  User user = dao.createUser(newUser);

  System.out.println("UserId " + user.getId());
   }

Kind Regards

If it all looks correct there, check the client  logs and make

RE: [flexcoders]TextLayoutFramework - support for graphics / swfs?

Forgive me for asking, Gordon, but could you give an idea of the status of

I appreciate you may not be able to comment, but if you are then any 
information would be most welcome.
I had a good look at the pre release on labs and came to the conclusion that I 
might be able to implement something myself,
but thought it might be better to see what came in the next preview or alpha.
Rather than attempt what for me would be quite a testing project (to say the 
least) that could be obsoleted by that release, that's to say.
Many thanks.

* regarding flowing text around images, I thought you might be able to do that 
quite nicely
 with linked containers and some existing flex layout components for a one off 
screen,
but I chickened out completely when it got to putting that into some kind of

[flexcoders] File download from server

2009-01-20 Thread oneworld95

I've run into an interesting situation with Flex: I've got a Java
servlet that will generate a Zip file when the user clicks a button in
Flex. But the file download dialog after the server action requires
the user to click a button. It throws this error:

Error: Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a
pop-up window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example
by a mouse click or button press.

So how do you handle these situations? After the server responds
successfully, do you display a second button to do the actual Flex
file download?

Re: [flexcoders] AIR: Detecting when window resize is complete (mouse up)

2009-01-20 Thread Aaron Hardy

Lushen, thanks for the response.

Are you saying that you are able to receive MOUSE_UP events from your
application when the user lets go of the mouse button as they finish
resizing the application's window?  I don't.  On my application, I have:

addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, test);

While I can click inside the application window and see the mouse_up events,
if I click the edge of the window, resize it, and let go, I don't get any
MOUSE_UP event.  I get the same results if I add the event listener to the
stage or nativeWindow as well.

If I use MOUSE_OUT or ROLL_OVER, I likewise don't receive any events because
the cursor is not inside the application bounds while it's resizing the
window.   If I used MOUSE_OVER, the user would have to make the cursor enter
the application area after resizing the window in order for the event to be
dispatched.

Any other ideas?  Thanks!

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Roles Based UI



As someone who is currently re-working their Role Based Access Control 
mechanism, point 2 is the wrong way around.

It leaks the roles into the rest of the client and stops all your business 
logic being in one place. Incidentally, this is how we currently do it, and I 
can show how it's a pain when new roles are added.

The better solution is to bind the visibility (enabled, etc, however you deal 
with not having the correct authorization) of the UIComponent to a hasAccess( 
componentKey : String ) method on the User class.

This has benefits of meaning that all the code for deciding on access is in one 
place (and makes it very easy to alter / add / remove roles and components), 
and by binding it, if the authentication changes for any reason, the view can 
be updated quickly and cleanly.

A pitfall to watch out for is hiding pieces of UI which has unexpected 
behaviour. For example, not showing a piece of the form if the user doesn't 
have the auth to change that data, if your backend deletes any data it isn't 
sent by the client, it is easy to turn a "not authorised" into a "delete lots 
of data". So make sure your client behaviour fits the use cases defined by your 
back end.

Have you confirmed that the request is actually making it to the server, and 
have you confirmed the nature of the response that comes back (using an HTTP

Also, try adding a  tag in your MXML Application

In an effort to put something together for this, i have written an
event that passes the dimensions through. Now my problem is that the
mx:DataGridColumn does not accept a "height" attribute.

There has to be someway to deal with this.

[flexcoders] Re: Do states and transitions behave differently depending on the context?

2009-01-20 Thread mauricen

There may well be...

It's part of a dialog for creating or editing Foos.  A Foo can be 
either red or green; green Foos also have a pressure and a temperature, 
which red Foos don't have.  When you're creating a Foo, you can select
one of two radio buttons labelled Red/Green.  You can't edit the 
colour of a Foo once it has been created.  

I'm trying to declutter the creation dialog by having it initially
appear with Red selected.  If the user selects Green, the temperature
and pressure controls slide out - that's what the transition is for.
That transition should be reversible, and repeatable.

When editing an existing Foo, the dialog should appear with Red or
Green selected as appropriate, and disabled.  If it's a green Foo
that's being edited, then the pressure and temperature controls should
be available for editing - that's the problem situation at the moment.

A general comment: transitions between states offer a huge potential
win for UI designers; they should make possible much more complex
interfaces than we would previously have dared to consider, because
they support progressive reveals, as in my example.  But if they're 
really as hard to use as this makes it seem, that win may be an
illusion.  I know they are working on a better language for states in
Gumbo - let's hope it improves the experience of programming transitions
as well.

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid Column Sizing issue

2009-01-20 Thread Alex Harui

When horizontalScrollPolicy="off" (default), all columns are scaled to fit 
within the width of the DG.  It makes it kind of hard to insert one column and 
get the sizing you want because existing columns get an extra attempt their 
sizes honored.  One solution is to totally reset the columns array.

If horizontalScrollPolicy="on" or "auto" columns do not get scaled but the last 
column will get stretched as necessary so we don't leave dead space at the far 
right of the scroll area.

Hi All,

I have designed a custom dataGrid which allows user to select
column which he wants to be visiable.Here is the issue which I have
been facing:

When user select two column to be visiable,

Lets assume Col1.with = 25 ,

Col2.with = 20 ,

Expected Result:

It should occupy 25+20 pixel space and adjust
datagrid size accordingly.

Actual Result:

Col1 is occupying correct space but col2 occupies
all rest of the space available on the right hand side i.e. col2 is
to occupying more space than it is suppose to be.

I want col2 to occupy only 20 pixel space.

datagird height and width both are 100 %

Any help would be highly appreciated.

It can be moved around but cannot be dropped into a folder (branch) unless the

inside a closed node... And it works for branches but not for leaf nodes ...

Setting breakpoints in drag/drop generally doesn’t work because you tend to 
release the mouse in order to dig through the debugging info and when you 
resume the drag is cancelled.

The funny thing is that the accurate data seems to be there at a certain time 
when debugged, and i tried to store it in a private member of the component and 
that works fine for branches, it seems that it just looses the data it probably 
when dragging over a branch or I don''t know, but the length is still one so I 
end up in adding an empty leaf. That also happens for the dragComplete handler. 
Still adding an empty leaf...

Hi Alex,
I can move simple leafs from the root under a folder with no custom handlers, 
if the folder is open. However the thing is that I need to just put (maybe just 
copy not move) the item let's say for argument sake "" 
under "Inbox" folder. I cannot do that unless the "sent" is under some folder 
and move it with the folder, because otherwise the DragSource seeems to return 
an item but I cannot get the data from that item. So I end up dropping an empty 
item. However as said before If I move/copy a folder with items around it works 
fine ... The same happends with the drag complete handler, for just one item 
the drags source traces out to blank event though the length is 1.

Remove the custom drag event handlers and try with simple data and see if it 
works.  We definitely tested drag/drop in Tree so basic cases work.  One trick 
for Tree is that what happens on drop is different than in List.  The node is 
removed before it is added in Tree, and sometimes that is done in dragComplete

[flexcoders] FluorineFx - .NET - not converting on 2nd time ??

2009-01-20 Thread rockorgames

hello all.. thx for all the help so far, but since im a noob at flex
and such i ll be making lots of posts lol..


anyway, on my app, in the module i make a some requests to the .net
via remoteobject using the fluorine components..

it works without problems.. i have the class User both in flex and
.net, in flex i am using the [RemoteClass(alias etc.. this class User
im sending via remote to .net 

okey here is the thing.. the when the user load the module the first
time, and send the class User, the .NET method receives it and knows
that its a class User.. okey... 

but when the user unload the module (no memory leak, the module
instance are 0 in the profiler) and then load it again, when it sends
the class User to .net, .net now do not know what that is any more..

in .net the parameter that 1st was a class user, this time is a
ASObject, with keys corresponding the the properties..

since i had to deliver this project today i just did a ugly hack to
manually convert the asobject to the correspoding User class..

but my question is.. why in the 1st time .net understand that the
parameter is a User class and the second time it doesnt ??

In our case, we use a similar scheme except that we have roles and permissions. 
It is the permission that defines the access to the component. If the user, in 
his role, has the permission set to true, then the user gain access to the 
component. It is very flexible as you can create many roles will similar or 
different permissions. At the end, you do not tie up the UI to a specific role 
but to a permission.
 
E.g.
 



 
etc...
 
You can see here that two buttons can be displayed using the same permission.

[flexcoders] Return style object from a CSSStyleDeclaration

Humm... Ok, I have a custom style called ".incomeValue" defined on my

I can access that style as an instance of CSSStyleDeclaration by making 

var s2:CSSStyleDeclaration =

Hi

Do you mean to say that i should do something like this


In the above i am passing the id of the component.

Then this means that i have to make some mapping between the

I think this will be more difficult to manage. 

Let me know as you are already implementing it. If you could some

[flexcoders] Re: Getting the style from CSS to apply on a styleFunction

2009-01-20 Thread João

Ok, I can get the CSSStyleDeclaration using:

var s2:CSSStyleDeclaration =
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(".incomeValue");

The problem is that I need to return a simple object. Inspecting the
content of the CSSStyleDeclaration class, I saw that the "overrides"
property has the object I need, but that property is protected.
I can extend this class, and expose the "overrides" property, but that
sounds a bit "hackish". Isn't there a direct way to convert a
CSSStyleDeclaration to a plain object?

[flexcoders] Re: LocalConnection issue in AIR to AIR application

2009-01-20 Thread Pete Appleby

Hi, Kevin!

To answer your earlier question, yes, the error was coming from the
Send side. The error only occurs if the listening ( Connected )
application is not running and connection or if the Send(  )
specifies an incorrect name.

The problem was the difficulty of the PublisherId not being available
in the debugger for my Sending app while my real listening app was
running ( not in the debugger ).

I will try your suggestion to use the -PubId argument to ADL.

It has been painful doing deployment builds to test the code, since
there is no debugger available. I resorted to adding debug code to
write to a log file.

I now am succesfully communicating bidirectionally between my two
applications and have built the handshaking, acknowlegments, etc.
needed to make it useful.

Thanks for the help!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Roles Based UI

2009-01-20 Thread Battershall, Jeff

Well there's got to be some tie-in between the user's role and the GUI - 
there's got to be some conditional logic at some level of granularity. If there 
are simply too many items to show/hide, you could have two different versions 
of a view which would be role-dependent. Modules could be a way to go there.  
That way you're not trying to make all your conditional view logic into some 
kind of spagetti-code.  The line of demarcation would be when it is too crazy 
to try to alter a single view to suit multiple roles.

RE: [flexcoders] Roles Based UI

2009-01-20 Thread Gregor Kiddie

As someone who is currently re-working their Role Based Access Control 
mechanism, point 2 is the wrong way around.

It leaks the roles into the rest of the client and stops all your business 
logic being in one place. Incidentally, this is how we currently do it, and I 
can show how it's a pain when new roles are added.

The better solution is to bind the visibility (enabled, etc, however you deal 
with not having the correct authorization) of the UIComponent to a hasAccess( 
componentKey : String ) method on the User class.

This has benefits of meaning that all the code for deciding on access is in one 
place (and makes it very easy to alter / add / remove roles and components), 
and by binding it, if the authentication changes for any reason, the view can 
be updated quickly and cleanly.

 

A pitfall to watch out for is hiding pieces of UI which has unexpected 
behaviour. For example, not showing a piece of the form if the user doesn't 
have the auth to change that data, if your backend deletes any data it isn't 
sent by the client, it is easy to turn a "not authorised" into a "delete lots 
of data". So make sure your client behaviour fits the use cases defined by your 
back end.

2009-01-20 Thread Haykel BEN JEMIA

Why do you need the one state? Is it only to make the transition when the
component is created or do you have other states? What do you want to
achieve exactly? Perhaps there is a better solution!

[flexcoders] Re: Populating a Flex Container in Flash

2009-01-20 Thread specdout

Hi Tracey,

Thanks for your response.

> So you have a browser hosting the Flash Player, running a Flex app >
that contains a SWFLoader that loads a Flash SWF.
Sorry, I should have been more specific: I'm developing an AIR
application. The SWFLoader is used to hold Flash content that's used
as an animated background for the app's main window. In some cases I
do use TitleWindows as dialogs for collecting and displaying
information and in other cases I use Canvas-based components as direct
children of the main window. With respect to the problem I'm
describing here, I'm trying to display Flex content so that it appears
to be completely integrated with the Flash background.

 
> Is the Flex framework available from within the Flash SWF?
No. I do hook and receive events from the Flash SWF as well as control
various animations but that's all done from Flex.

One of the issues I've experienced in trying to get this to work is
runtime errors that claim the Flex content I'm trying to set on the
ContainerMovieClip (in Flash) isn't a UIComponent (or doesn't
implement IUIComponent).  As I understand it, the ContainerMovieClip
is supposed to be able to hold a single Flex child, which can then
hold additional children.  Ultimately I wouldn't use a UIComponent - I
was just trying to make sure that the ContainerMovieClip instance in
Flash didn't have a valid claim that I wasn't passing in a UIComponent ;)

[flexcoders] FadeIn Effect not working with custom item renderers in List

2009-01-20 Thread tonyjobrien

I'm trying to get the FadeIn effect to work on my List control, but
I'm having no luck. The custom renderer stays white for the
FadeInDuration and then appears instantly. If I switch back to using
the default renderer, all is well. Also, if I have both a list with a
custom renderer and the default at the same time, they both exhibit
the same behaviour as the custom renderer. Here is a simple Flex app
that shows the issue (comment out the lists as required).

FYI, I'm using Flex 3 on Windows XP with Firefox 3.

Re: [flexcoders] ContextMenuItem with a checkbox ?

2009-01-20 Thread Michael Pelz-Sherman

Hi again,

I thought I'd try extending the ContextMenuItem class to provide this behavior, 
but according to the compiler, the ContextMenuItem class is declared "final" in 
the "Gumbo" Flex SDK.

I found a post from 2006 that shows ContextMenuItem being extended:

http://www.bigroom.co.uk/blog/custom-context-menu-with-keyboard-shortcuts-in-flash

Did this change recently? If so, why?

Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: Do states and transitions behave differently depending on the context?

2009-01-20 Thread mauricen

Thanks very much!  It looks as though the transition will work - or not -
depending on when it's invoked in the component creation process.
And invoking it at the wrong time (ie as part of initialisation, as I 
did) prevents it from working later, as in your solution.

Transitions seem to have a very steep learning curve.  The solution
for the toy example /still/ doesn't work in my real application!  So
there must be some other inexplicable glitch to be isolated...

RE: [flexcoders] internationalization

Haykel, out of curiosity, when you load them dynamically at run-time, do
you pass them to the resource bundle manager? That's what we did but I'm
curious to see what other did and if there are a open source libraries
that do just that. We didn't find any at the time so we had to do it all
ourselves.

Use resource bundles. If you only have 2 or 3 languages and the
resources are not heavy in size, you can simply compile them in the
application, otherwise load them at runtime.

>Is this causing you any problems?
Only in so much as I have gone from a situation where my flashlog is

it is now >90% noise (and flash tracer's "Display warnings" control
seems not to work). :(

Call me a stickler maybe, but I like my warnings to be real and
noteworthy..:) If we ignore warnings then don't we just invite future
problems? (I'm an electronic engineer by training, and fairly new to
SW, so maybe I'm taking the wrong approach?)

Most importantly: is this the sort of thing that warrants a bug report
to Adobe? If so, I'll put one in.

[flexcoders] swf animation library

2009-01-20 Thread tom s

Does anyone know of a library of stock swf animations that are free for
commercial use?(compiled or src)

I need an animation that is 'hour-glass-esque', e.g. something like balls
chasing each other round in a circle, to display to the user to indicate
that something is going on and that they have to wait (backed up by text
info)

I think it would be fairly simple to write in AS, but I figure if someone
else has already done that and OSd it then why bother..

Use resource bundles. If you only have 2 or 3 languages and the resources
are not heavy in size, you can simply compile them in the application,
otherwise load them at runtime.

Re: [flexcoders] Im new, and this is an old question

RIA doesn't mean "no pages". There are situations where you have simply
different pages. How you implement them, as different apps, modules or as a
viewstack depends. But among other things, a RIA reduces page loading in
many cases. In your example, the login can be a page and the calendar
another page. But in the calendar page, if the user chooses to see the
details of an item, edit an item, add a new one or add a comment for
example, then you can do all this in one page. So I would split the app by
functionality and implement the different parts independently, then you
could put them on different pages or load them as modules.
