[flexcoders] How can an SWF read its own metadata tags?

2009-01-31 Thread Mark Carter 

How to read SWF metadata tags (like "title", "publisher" etc) at runtime from
within that SWF?

I use ANT to build the SWF. I manually define metadata like "project name"
etc in a build.properties file. I use these values in ANT to name the SWF
and installer etc and also I can use them to set the metadata tags of the
SWF I'm compiling to.

But when this SWF is running, how can that metadata be accessed?

Or is it better to embed the build.properties in the SWF?

I need this for an About dialog box.

abstract factory would also solve this, unless you compile to swc that is.

[flexcoders] transition effect

2009-01-31 Thread stinasius 
hi how can i achieve the transition effect used in this case study

[flexcoders] Piechart slice color changes on rollover/select ?? How do change this?

2009-01-31 Thread anthony_morsey 
In picharts when selectionmode="single" is set the color of the rolled
over pie wedge changes to a darker version of the same color.  This
new color stays darker when I explode the slice.  

What controls the effect of the colors changing on rollover and
itemclick on this pie chart? Is there a way to turn this effect off
and only show the true/defined color of the pie slice?

Here is a simple example of a piechart with this issue.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!!

Actually you can hack it. Built-in is not good right now because there's a

You can communicate with Javascript and pass the job to js and you will

I have 2 mirrored environments. One on my laptop running Adobe CF8 and
one at the University running Blue Dragon 7. I have the same  CFCs set
to remote, the same database stucture, and the same  on
both. I am just switching the wsdl location between the 2 and I am
getting COMPLETELY diffferent responses. The only difference is the
actual Servers.

When I return a query via web service with Adobe and render it out with
Alert.show(ObjectUtil.toString(e.result),'Result');, I get this:

(mx.collections::ArrayCollection)#0
  filterFunction = (null)
  length = 1
  list = (mx.collections::ArrayList)#1
length = 1
source = (Array)#2
  [0] (Object)#3
DEPARTMENT = "PRMC"

uid = "12003FBD-127E-EEEB-4E25-22A5E6599FF8"
  sort = (null)
  source = (Array)#2

With Blue Dragon I get this:

(Object)#0
  columnList = (mx.collections::ArrayCollection)#1
filterFunction = (null)
length = 8
list = (mx.collections::ArrayList)#2
  length = 8
  source = (Array)#3

I then added
Alert.show(ObjectUtil.toString(e.result.list.source),'source'); and got
this with Adobe:

FIRSTNAME = "Wally"
ISACTIVE = 1
LASTNAME = "Kolcz"
PASSWORD = "2113"
POSITION = "Senior ColdFusion Architect"
ROLE = "admin"
UNIQNAME = "wkolcz"

And this with Blue Dragon:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

Anyone know a work around to get the same results? I was able to get my
'uniqname' with Adobe by using userData.getItemArt(0).UNIQNAME but it
fails in BD.

The dataFunction has to be done in AS.  I think most of the rest you 
can translate to MXML.  I just did the example that way because people

Subject: [flexcoders] Oh WTF? Web
Services: Anyone work with Blue Disaster (I mean Dragon)?

I have 2
mirrored environments. One on my laptop running Adobe CF8 and one at the
University running Blue Dragon 7. I have the same  CFCs set to remote, the
same database stucture, and the same  on both. I am just
switching the wsdl location between the 2 and I am getting COMPLETELY
diffferent responses. The only difference is the actual Servers.

When I return a query via web service with Adobe and render it out with 
Alert.show(ObjectUtil.toString(e.result),'Result');,
I get this:

Yeah that is not pretty xml.  Since your data is not really a list, but
more properties of an object, here is what I would do:

 

var oLoginInfo:Object = new Object();

var xmlResult = XML(event.result)

var xlNames:XMLList = xmlResult..columnList.string;

Do I use XMLListCollection? Any hint on how? If I declare my userData

Well, that was really old way to do it in IE5. You can use more reliable way
with our HTMLPrinting.com control we released for IE about 8 years ago (
yep, still works ) - at least you will get templates and control of what and
how you will print - suppression of the dialog is 20% of the task, real
control of the paper size/orientation, margins, trays, duplex,  etc are
really necessary - not to mention printer queue management.

[flexcoders] using an event to trigger an action in a sibling component

2009-01-31 Thread weezee49 
I have the following structure:

Application
   |___ViewStack
  |SplashBox
   |VBox
  |___Accordion
  |Login
  |CreateAccount
  |MainBox
  

In MainBox I dispatch a logoutEvent.  Among other things as a result
of this event, I want to clear the fields in the Login component.  The
only way I have been successful so far is to call an init() function
from creationComplete in Login that looks like this:

private function init():void{
   parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.addEventListener("logoutEvent",
clearFields)
}

As I understand events, the logoutEvent in MainBox bubbles up to the
ViewStack, and then to the Application.  Is there a better way to
force the event down to Login?  Repeatedly using parent in this
fashion seems so inelegant.  And if I change my structure at all, I'll
also have to remember to go into the code and change the number of
parents in the init() function.  

TIA!

[flexcoders] passing events to sibling components

2009-01-31 Thread weezee49 
In my Application I have a ViewStack.  The ViewStack has 2 children:
SplashBox and MainBox.  SplashBox has a VBox, which has an Accordion,
which has two children, LoginBox and AccountCreateBox.

In MainBox I trigger a logoutEvent by clicking a button.  Among other
things, I want to clear the fields in LoginBox as a result of this
event.  The only way that I have found to do this is to have an init()
function in LoginBox that is called on creationComplete and looks like
this:

private function init():void{
parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.addEventListener("logoutEvent",clearFields);
}

This seems inelegant and awkward.  If I make any changes in my
structure, I'm going to have to remember to change the init function
as well.  

Is there a better way?

TIA!

[flexcoders] Re: using an event to trigger an action in a sibling component

2009-01-31 Thread weezee49 
But I still have a problem calling a public method in Login from 
MainBox.  Because MainBox is in a different branch of the tree, it 
can't see Login without some convoluted getChildAt().getChildAt(), 
and so on.  

Just to clarify, my diagram didn't come through.  Application has a 
ViewStack, which has SplashBox and MainBox.  SplashBox has a VBox 
which has an Accordion, which has LoginBox and CreateAccountBox.  

This code worked in the Application:

var vbox:UIComponent = splashBox.getChildAt(0) as UIComponent;
var accord:UIComponent = vbox.getChildAt(3) as UIComponent;
var loginBox = accord.getChildAt(0);
loginBox.clearFields(e);

But again, it seems inelegant, and not very robust if I have to 
change the structure later.

Thanks,
LG

RE: [flexcoders] passing events to sibling components

2009-01-31 Thread Alex Harui 
Singletons Data Models.  An interaction in Mainbox sets a property in the model 
that other views like LoginBox are listening to.

You'll also be happier the day you try to wire up the BrowserManager to handle 
backbutton and deep linking if you have a central data model.

Subject: [flexcoders] passing events to sibling components


In my Application I have a ViewStack. The ViewStack has 2 children:
SplashBox and MainBox. SplashBox has a VBox, which has an Accordion,
which has two children, LoginBox and AccountCreateBox.

In MainBox I trigger a logoutEvent by clicking a button. Among other
things, I want to clear the fields in LoginBox as a result of this
event. The only way that I have found to do this is to have an init()
function in LoginBox that is called on creationComplete and looks like
this:

private function init():void{
parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.addEventListener("logoutEvent",clearFields);
}

This seems inelegant and awkward. If I make any changes in my
structure, I'm going to have to remember to change the init function
as well.

Is there a better way?

TIA!

No official way.  Check the archives, I think someone posted a way.

Is there a way to disable the zoom when you drop something using the drag 
manager?

I guess I'll just extend the DragProxy class and override the mouse up
handler
