Re: [flexcoders] Flex. AIR and IPhone

[Sam Lai]

I think the issue here is that if Adobe/MS used SVG as a base instead
of their proprietary XML dialects, then they won't be able to innovate
and implement new features as quickly.

If they added proprietary extensions to SVG, there'll be a massive
backlash as seen with IE and its CSS, JS and HTML extensions.

If they try to get it into the standard, it will take ages to get it
through the committee, and they will lose the competitive advantage of
developing that feature in the first place.

Unfortunately the standards process just does not keep up with
innovation. But personally, I don't think it should - details should
be thrashed out, and issues should be resolved in standards,
particularly those that could not be foreseen during the initial
implementation.

I'm a believer of what Sebastian said - "Competition is what drives
technology forward, standards come after the war to clean up the mess,
but they don't innovate."

What would be nice would be a SVG container for Flex/SL, and one that
can reach out into the app and allow the app to reach in.

[flexcoders] Running Unit tests on build server

[Errol Thompson]

I am looking for a way of being able to run unit tests on a build server
that is not running a GUI environment. Is there an option on the Flash
player that will cause it to run without attempting to open a window. The
build server is a Linux based box.

Thanks for your help

[flexcoders] RE: PHP Remoting and value objects

[SJF]

Try:

var testVO:TestVO = e.result.serverInfo.initialData as TestVO;
(depending on how you've constructed your data for return from php)

Also, throw a breakpoint into your app where the remote comes back - then
take a look inside the *result* object.

You'll have the *result.serverInfo* object, which itself contains *
initialData*, *serviceName*, *columnNames* among others.

Cheers.

Subject: [flexcoders] ComboBox selectedIndex revisited

 

I see there was another long thread about this problematic component
back in October (Dan Pride)

I don't see why this shouldn't work:

  

where selectedDateRangeIndex() scans the available ranges, and
this.selectedDateRangePreset and this.availableRanges are bindable. But
it doesn't. When the component is first created, the combobox appears
with the first item selected (sometimes).

I believe Dan's workaround involved callLater(). I just had some success
with the following: 



where on onComboBoxCreation() calls computeSelectedIndex() and sets
dateRangePresetCombo.selectedIndex.

Doing it  on creationComplete rather than "added" results in flicker as
the item changes from item1, but using the added event seems to do the
trick.

I'm pretty sure there's a bug in ComboBox. Probably not invalidating
properties or the display list when it should.

Hope this helps someone, and please set me straight if I'm wrong.

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3
Plug-in\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flexbuilder.flex_3.0.214193\config.xml
(or whatever your most recent update of Flex Builder is)
There should be a line in there with ja_JP
If you change that to en_US
it will change the locale to en_US each time instead of ja_JP

I'm still not completely sure what happened, but I'm wondering if one
of the builds for the plugin update that got pushed to Adobe's server
still had the ja_JP reference in the en_US build.

This makes it impossible to set the data property to null.  There 
might be some cases where you might actually want to do that (for 
instance if you wanted to have something that visually matched your 
renderers, but wasn't included in a List-based component.  So you 
could potentially use a component that could be used as a renderer or 
not and reuse the data property to populate it.

It seems to me that you're probably checking for null to account for 
the occasions when set data is called before createChildren(), which 
sometimes, but not always, coincides with null data.  It seems like 
it's safer to either check for the child to be null or to call 
invalidateProperties() and put your logic in commitProperties, which 
always happens after createChildren.

Yes, wouldn't it be nice if we all learned to live together...

Any collection of humans is bound to be generate conflict. "Delivering

Anyway...I'm not suggesting that private companies shouldn't develop  
cool stuff that's not based on a standard. I'm just suggesting where a  
standard *does* exist, and is worth supporting it ought to be  
supported. SVG could have formed the core of both flex and  
sliverlight, but the desire to dominate the market with a proprietary  
solution is a powerful motivator.


Which is not to say I don't like Flex and the cool dudes at Adobe and  
Macromedia who made it possible. I'm just not starry-eyed about  
corporate motivations, and while I'm disappointed I can't leverage the  
flash player on the iphone, I'm somewhat more positive towards Apple  
because they are supporting SVG on there instead.


Anyway, I'll shut up now. :-)

RE: [flexcoders] LCDS : Managed associations - creating new Items

Just adding an item to a managed collection will implicitly queue up a "create"

createItem unless that item lives all by itself.

RE: [flexcoders] LCDS : Number of clients limitation

[Jeff Vroom]

In terms of memory alone, these objects seem pretty small so I don't think 
you'd hit any memory limitations even with 1000 concurrent users using the same 
server. You'd have at most 1000 rooms and 1000 users - each of which is 
relatively small.You just won't end up with that much memory per server.   
And this memory gets split between servers when you cluster which would let it 
scale at least in terms of memory usage.

The other factor is to estimate the total number of messages per second.
Each server can process hundreds of messages/second so unless the activity of 
each user was pretty high, I'd expect you'd be fine with 1000 users.This 
does not scale quite as well in a cluster when using the LCDS "autoSync" mode 
but you can support in the small 1000s of messages/second cluster wide.

Of course sizing is a difficult thing to predict as one slow-code path on your 
server can introduce a bottleneck.

A question for Jeff Vroom;

Hi Jeff,

In an article of yours, you say about Data Management Services : "Data
Management Services keeps the list of client IDs that are listening for
changes for a given data set in memory so as the number of clients
grows, the amount of memory required to hold this in the server
increases. As changes are made, the server pushes these changes to all
clients, which can become slow as the number of clients that need to
receive this data increases. Thus, there will be limitations to the
size of the data sets and number of clients that you can manage in a
Flex application that uses this feature."

Suppose you have a managed object Room with 20 primitive type properties
and a managed association to a User-object that has 10 primitive type
properties.
Each Flex client has a managed arraycollection of 2 or 3 rooms.

How much clients will my server be able to manage ? hundreds, thousands ?

Kind regards

Both Adobe and MS could have used SVG as the basis for Flex and

Having used both SVG and Flex, I can tell you the fundamentals are the  
same. Sure Flex has a much better component library and the flash  
player has better penetration, but most of the things I currently do  
in Flex are doable in SVG.


Making the Flex SDK open source is a strategic decision to capture  
more market share. It has nothing to do with supporting W3C standards.  
It is only about funneling more developers into delivering for the  
Flash platform in the face of MS and Silverlight.


I think you are seriously misguided about the role of standards. HTML

Hello,

I have a managed assocation between two objects.  I have rooms and users. There 
is a one-to-many relationship between rooms and users.

When a user wants to join a Room, he first requests the Room-object using 
getItem() :

public function joinRoom(roomId:int):void
{
var responder:mx.rpc.Responder = new 
mx.rpc.Responder(resultHandler, faultHandler)
itemRef = ds.getItem({roomId:roomId});
itemRef.addResponder(responder);
}

Then in the responder method, I add a new User-object to the the 
arrayCollection users within the Room-object.
I don't give this new user an id, because the id is generated on the server :

private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
var room:Room = event.result as Room;

var user:User = new User();
user.roomId = room.id;
user.name = this.nickName;

room.users.addItem(user);

[flexcoders] Dynamically loading image from URL

[pratikshah83]

Hi Guys, 

I want to have a custom image as the itemrenderer for plot chart...
just like the butterfly image here

But I want to load image dynamically from an URL, and not embed it in. 

Can any one help me with this. I tried using loader but loader.content

Thanks in advance.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex. AIR and IPhone

[Sebastien ARBOGAST]

Like all W3C standards, SVG is just one tiny little piece of the puzzle. The
Flash platform or silverlight offer much more than that of course. Component
libraries, styling, scripting support, system integration, remoting support,
IDEs, and all the accessories that, like it or not, only a big company can
produce.Competition is what drives technology forward, standards come after
the war to clean up the mess, but they don't innovate.
With the iPhone being so closed, at least Android and Palm have a big card
to play on openness to compete.
But wishing for one silver bullet technology is not a dream, it is not even
a utopia, it's like wishing for hell on earth.

Oh, and by the way, the Flex SDK is totally Open Source, but this has
already been repeated thousands of times so I guess you know.

[flexcoders] PHP Remoting and value objects

[Sceneshift]

Hey guys,

I'm a little confused over how to get myself from WebOrb PHP into a VO in my
Flex application. I am getting my result sent to me from my php script which
is returned as an object, and I'm trying to set this result as a value
object like so:

var testVO:TestVO = e.result as TestVO;

This isn't working, which confuses me. Do I have to run through each result
in order to type it accordingly? I thought one of the benefits of remoting
was that we didn't need to type our results?

Any help would be appreciated!

[flexcoders] writing a unit test to read a DataGrid

[mitchgrrt]

I want to write a unit test that does the following:

- put some data into the model that will be used by a DataGrid
- read the information back from the DataGrid
- compare the expected and actual results

I'm using FLUINT but am having a hard time because there doesn't seem 
to be any API to read the information from a DataGrid.  Has anybody 
succeeded in doing this, either with FLUINT or with FlexUnit?  Thanks.

[flexcoders] ComboBox selectedIndex revisited

[Richard Rodseth]

I see there was another long thread about this problematic component back in
October (Dan Pride)

I don't see why this shouldn't work:

  

where selectedDateRangeIndex() scans the available ranges, and
this.selectedDateRangePreset and this.availableRanges are bindable. But it
doesn't. When the component is first created, the combobox appears with the
first item selected (sometimes).

I believe Dan's workaround involved callLater(). I just had some success
with the following:

  

where on onComboBoxCreation() calls computeSelectedIndex() and sets
dateRangePresetCombo.selectedIndex.

Doing it  on creationComplete rather than "added" results in flicker as the
item changes from item1, but using the added event seems to do the trick.

I'm pretty sure there's a bug in ComboBox. Probably not invalidating
properties or the display list when it should.

Hope this helps someone, and please set me straight if I'm wrong.

[flexcoders] localconnection data encrypted?

[Pete Appleby]

I am using localconnections to pass information from one AIR
application to another. All of this is working fine.

I understand that AMF0 is being used behind the scenes to pass the

Is the data encrypted? If not, I assume that I must encrypt sensitive
information myself. 

Hope someone can help with this.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex. AIR and IPhone

Mm..yes, but then again Apple is supporting SVG on the iPhone...Adobe  
hasn't exactly covered itself in glory with its support for SVG. Of  
course since they bought Macromedia they no longer have any strategic  
use for it. And now we have Silverlight from MS we have THREE  
technologies that are essentially the same - two proprietory and one a  
W3C standard.


Sigh. It's the usual mess we get when corporations exercise their  
competitive impulses.


Wouldn't it have been nice to have an open vector animation standard  
(SVG) that would play in a commonly deployed runtime (Flash)? Then we  
could all develop once and have native playback in browsers that  
support SVG, player support for those that don't and we'd be able to  
target the iPhone.


That of course will never happen. :-)

I'm pretty sure the function he posted included

Wouldn't that pass the value to the base class implementation?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Explain "override public function"

[Fotis Chatzinikos]

Amy is right,

the code was:

override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
   super.data = value;
}

maybe its preferable to have :

override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
   if (value != null)
   {
  super.data = value;
   }
}


What i usually do is check for null and then if not do any custom logic:

override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
   if (value != null)
   {

Re: [flexcoders] work with map

[Fotis Chatzinikos]

I simple use an object:

var map:Object = event.result as Object  ; //This is the map coming from a
remote call

Now you can get the map keys, and then their value/content

In this case the key is String and the value an ArrayList (Java) /
ArrayCollection in Flex
:

for (var key:String in map)
{
var valueAC:ArrayCollection = map[key] ;
}

PS: Make sure that your keys are Strings and not any other objects, else you
can try your luck with the Dictionary class whicj is supposed to support non
String keys, but i have never tested it...

Good luck ;-)

[flexcoders] sorting data on non-grouped field in an advanceddatagrid

[Maciek Sakrejda]

I have an ADG (simplified example that reproduces the issue follows). I
want the data broken down by category, but sorted by value (which is
*not* grouped) within each category. I thought the way to do this would
be to set up a ListCollectionView to sort my data, then put a grouping
collection on top. The GroupingCollection, however, seems to undo the
ListCollectionView sorting.

Is there a way to achieve this with the AdvancedDataGrid? If I bind
sortedData to a plain DataGrid (with no grouping), this works as
expected.

Code follows: (note that within each group, things are *not* sorted by
value).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Base one mxml component on another from Library

[Haykel BEN JEMIA]

If you have UFDCommonLib.swc, then add it to the libs folder. Now you must
know in which package popupTitleWindow is defined. From your last mail, I
guess it could be 'modulecode', so try this:

xmlns:modulecode="modulecode"

Otherwise ask the developer who gave you the swc.

[flexcoders] Which version of flex do I have?

[reflexactions]

We have a bit of confusion in the office with apparently different 
version of Flex installed on different machines and we are wondering 
what is the offical latest version of FlexBuilder.

In Help/About I have 3.0.1.205647

In ProductDetails/FeatureDetails/Core it shows 3.0.205647

Is this the latest official release of FlexBuilder (StandAlone) and is 
this the same as FlexBuilder 3.2 ?

Help, confused!!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Base one mxml component on another from Library

[Maciek Sakrejda]

How does it not work (i.e., error message please)? That is the way to do
it. The FlexMonkey testing tool does exactly this.

At first glance, it looks like your namespace declaration for the
modulecode is wrong: I think it should be the package name of the module
(e.g., something like "com.truviso.module.*"), but without the error
message, it's hard to tell.

Components are based on the component that's used at the top level in the

[flexcoders] Develop Flex application for 1024x768 Resolution

[liltyga]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out the best way to create a Flex application so
that it accommodates a 1024 x 768 Resolution, but will expand to fill
a screen that has a higher resolution than that. In other words I want
to dynamically set 1024 x 768 as the default but scale to 100% if need

application. Has anyone dealt with this before, and if so, are there
any intuitive ways to deal with it, other than just eyeballing the
output in the resolution size of choice?

[flexcoders] Re: File download from server

[oneworld95]

For whatever reason, setting content-disposition stuff didn't work for
me and was running out of time. What I ended up doing was this,

 - User clicks a button to generate the file on the Java side and save
it to the server.
 - In Flex, when server returns the usual XML response saying all is
OK, I dynamically add a button to the app to handle the download using
a FileReference object. 
 - On successful download (Event.COMPLETE), I delete the button from
the app.

Yep I have the same problem and get the same error. But funny enough, my app

Hi folks,
  
   We actually have the same need and including the things y'all have 
already tried, we even tried to cycle thru the open nodes and write 
their object to an array, then refreshed then tried to do an open nodes 
for each in the array without success
  
   Alex, et al...any input to this one because it seems like a lot of 
folks need it!

Look in the documentation for the database where your data is stored.  
It should have functions for calculating this, then just do whatever 
you normally do to return the data back to Flex.

[flexcoders] File.upload results into File IO Error....

[moyosaned]

I'm creating a file locally and then I'm trying to use File.upload to upload it.
But the moment I invoke the upload method of File. it's giving me an error.

For example: 
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2038: File I/O Error.
at flash.filesystem::File/resolveComponents()
at flash.filesystem::File/resolvePath()

it seems it will always give an error on the last preformed File action before 
the .upload

Any ideas on that?

[flexcoders] work with map

[markus.muerbe]

Hello!

I have the following method, which delivers a map as return value.
-
-
public Map getTopLevelCategories() {
HibernateDAOFactory factory = null;
try {
factory = new HibernateDAOFactory();
factory.beginTransaction();
Collection topLevelCategories =
factory.getDAOCategory().loadTopLevelCategories();
Map topLevelCategoriesMap = new 
HashMap();
for (DOCategory category : topLevelCategories) {
topLevelCategoriesMap.put(category.getId(), 
category.getName());
}
factory.commitTransaction();
return topLevelCategoriesMap;
} catch (HibernateException e) {
factory.rollback();
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
} finally {
if (factory != null) {
factory.closeSession();
}
}
}

How is it possible to work with this return value in FLEX?

Thank you

Have you ever built such a site without using Flex (i.e. using ASP, 
PHP, or similar)?  If not, you're going to have a steep learning 
curve, because you're going to have to learn both the server side and 
the Flex side--Flex does not eliminate the need for the back end 
technology, it just gives you a prettier/more responsive interface.

I'd suggest you find some tutorials that teach you to build such a 
site in your chosen back-end language, probably PHP, then once you 
have that built replace the interface with Flex.  There are some 
small details that will be different on the server side, such as 
returning typed objects or XML rather than HTML, but by and large 
most of the tasks will be the same.

I'm pretty sure the function he posted included
super.data=value;

Wouldn't that pass the value to the base class implementation?

Just making sure I'm not confused and he doesn't get unnecessarily

[flexcoders] LCDS : Managed associations - creating new Items

[Besite - Bart]

Hello,
Another Livecycle question..

I have a managed collection of Companies.  Eeach company contains a list 
of employees. 
The Company-object and Employee-object are Managed objects, tagged with 
the [Managed] metadata tag.  They each have
an associated destination on the server (configured in the 
data-management-config.xml).  There exists a one-to-many managed 
association between
these two objects.

When I add a new Employee to the managed arraycollection "companies" 
like this :

Employee newEmployee = new Employee("John Smith", "Engineer");
companies.addItem(newEployee);
companyDS.commit();

Should this result in a createItem() in the EmployeeAssembler ?
Or should I explicitly call employeeDS.createItem(newEployee); ?

Thanks for your help..

[flexcoders] LCDS : Number of clients limitation

[Besite - Bart]

A question for Jeff Vroom;

Hi Jeff,

In an article of yours, you say about Data Management Services : "Data 
Management Services keeps the list of client IDs that are listening for 
changes for a given data set in memory so as the number of clients 
grows, the amount of memory required to hold this in the server 
increases.  As changes are made, the server pushes these changes to all 
clients, which can become slow as the number of clients that need to 
receive this data increases.  Thus, there will be limitations to the 
size of the data sets and number of clients that you can manage in a 
Flex application that uses this feature."

Suppose you have a managed object Room with 20 primitive type properties 
and a managed association to a User-object that has 10 primitive type 
properties.
Each Flex client has a managed arraycollection of 2 or 3 rooms.

How much clients will my server be able to manage ? hundreds, thousands ?

Kind regards
Bart Ronsyn
