RE: [flexcoders] Tables in Rich Text Editor

[Gordon Smith]

The Halo RichTextEditor component will never support tables; it is based on the 
Player's TextField, and the Player team has no plans to improve TextField. 
Instead, the Player team has provided, in Flash Player 10, an entirely new text 
engine known as FTE (Flash Text Engine) on top of which a Text Layout Framework 
(TLF) library is being developed. Gumbo components -- including the new 
FxTextArea -- use TLF to do their text rendering. And we're working on making 
it possible for Halo components to also get some TLF capabilities.

The first version of TLF, which will ship with Gumbo, will support cool stuff 
like bidirectional text (for right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew 
mixed together with left-to-right languages), virtualized scrolling (so that 
you can scroll through large amounts of text without requiring too much 
memory), multiple columns, vertical Asian text, embedded graphics, 
superscripts/subscripts, ligatures, a better markup language, and a text object 
model, but… it will unfortunately not support lists or tables. : (

Lists and tables are scheduled for a future release of TLF, after Flex 4. The 
good news is that new versions of the TLF library will be able to be released 
more quickly and easily than new versions of the Player, so you shouldn't have 
to wait too long for improvements.

Discussions are also underway about open-sourcing TLF, or at least making its 
source available, in which case you could try implementing tables yourself if 
you are very ambitious.

Hi,

Perhaps one of the most asked questions on the list: when will the Rich Text 
Editor support tables?

I had high hopes with Flash Player 10 and the Text Layout Framework, but alas, 
no tables.

Anyone has any luck extending the RTE to support tables?

Thanks,
Jeroen.

In regexp syntax, "." means "match any character"

Here, the match returns true.
I don't understand why "-" is being matched to "." returning TRUE.

I actually extend the UIComponent in my apps for specific purposes. 
I'll try applying some code that'll let me change the bkg Image
through a css sheet at runtime.  I guess I could also try adding an
image and applying a styleName to that component directly which would
be modified through CSS.

[flexcoders]Thoughts on the Flex Community Feedback meeting

[dorkie dork from dorktown]

Here are some random thoughts on the topics in Flex Community Feedback
meeting. I wasn't able to attend but was able to watch the video.

These are the most pressing issues with Flex development and I have to speak
my mind on this so we can come up with solutions:

Fixing Bugs
IMHO The number one frustrating thing for me in Flex development is when I'm
working on a project and I come across a bug I can't fix myself. What we are
supposed to do is to submit a bug report. At first I thought I was doing
something good when I submitted over 60 bugs in the Flex 3 beta over almost
2 years ago. I watched as 99% of them were deferred or closed. I thought it
was just me but it wasn't. Now as Flex 4 or Flex 5 is getting reviewed all
the bugs have been opened again and now they are getting closed one after
another in the same closed process as before. This tells me, "my issues
aren't important to adobe" and not having the access to Flex Builder or the
Flash Player and not having the in-depth training of the SDK they will never
get fixed!


Voting might have been a good idea at the start but now it is very clear
that this is DOES NOT WORK because issues that don't get enough votes will
NEVER get fixed. I thought that with the voting system the highest voted
bugs would get fixed first and then the remaining bugs would get fixed after
that but that is NOT THE CASE. Bugs are NEVER getting fixed. Listen, bugs
HAVE to get fixed! In my software and my projects if I have a bug I fix it!
I don't close it, I'm not going to debate about if I should fix it, I don't
have the community vote on *if* it should get fixed, I FIX IT!!! And when
people depend on software or an SDK as the foundation of a project you fix
the bugs. I've worked at numerous software companies, Roxio, Parsons
Technology, Intuit, Yellowbook and I've run my own software company for many
years and we support our users by fixing the bugs as fast as we can. With
features its different but with bugs in software people depend on it is a
rule they have to get fixed. 

IMHO Voting should promote bugs but not defer them and NEVER close them.
When you close a bug it actually feels like someone is closing my project
(and some of my projects have been my dreams - sniff sniff). It feels like
I'm getting punched in the nuts. I have a suggestion. Put someone, just one
person, or a group of developers together and go through and fix the bugs
one by one irregardless of votes or if it fits in the roadmap. If these can
be addressed by the community than great. Leverage that. Put that list of
bugs up on a page so we can see where they are and track their progress. But
be aware that the community can't help if it has to do with the Flash
Player, Flash Catalyst or Flex Builder. What options do we have for this?

More in depth Training
The community can't help if there isn't the education on the inner workings
of the framework.

Community Involvement
I think the open initiative is a good start. So let's say we want a better
rich text editor in the next version of Flex. How do we do this? How do we
make it happen?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: AxisRenderer Embedded Font Bug?

[Battershall, Jeff]

Daniel,

OK its an RSL issue. When I have the dataviz and framework merged into
code, everything renders correctly.  When I'm referencing them as RSL
URLs, the fonts don't render properly in the AxisRenderer (for vertical
axes).  

I had run into this previously and the workaround is/was to merge it all
into code with the commensurate increase in file size.

Assuming these are done with styles, is there any cascading in these
styles? I would think that a child would conform to the styles of its
parent. I mean they put the "C" in "CSS" for a reason. I've already
noticed that any styles declared against, say a ComboBox, don't seem
to apply to any OO descendants of combobox. So do we need to rename
Flex stylesheets from css to just ss? I acknowledge the fact that this
is indeed the way things are, but I feel that it more likely a naive
implementation of cascading styles rather than a deliberate decision.
Just like the problem with certain global resources in modules, like
the resourcemanager, might go missing at odd moments unless you do
certain things, it is the way it is, but that doesn't make it any less
a bug, nor does it make it a thing that shouldn't be fixed.
Ok, deep breath...thank you very much for your reply. I agree that it
is most probably my misconception in this case that just because when
I apply a style to xml, or html, or xhtml, a container sure does alter
its rules based on those of its parent, again based on the little "c"
in "css", it is wrong of me to assume that mxml would react the same
way, or that anyone would feel a need to either make it consistent
with the rest of the world or document the difference anywhere. But
you've been kind in making a reply to me, again, thank you.

Re: [flexcoders] Login / Password Form

[anuj sharma]

I made something like that where I use Flex to develop my UI and store the
login info in XML file on the server.
To read and write data to that xml file I use server side language PHP
though amfPHP , Encryption can be done using action script library as3crypto
but in my project we use
JavaScript and PHp for encrytping these credentials on the wire (through the
network).
Hope that might help you

Hi All,

I have a mx:List that allows multipleSelection. It works. But in order to do
multiple select/unselect, i need to hold the Ctrl key, otherwise, it will be
single select/unselect. 

Is there a way to do the multiple select w/o holding the Ctrl Key?

Thanks

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid.SelectedItem - ??

[Libby]

Hello people, I am messing with an AdvancedDataGrid for the first
time. Have read the Adobe docs and it appears that you can listen for
ITEM_OPEN and ITEM_CLOSE and such and be able to access the current
item. However, they in my case are always null. I am trying to figure
out where in the tree hierarchy the user has clicked the mouse. Could
someone give me a little nudge in the right direction? :)
thanks, Libby

  Hi,

  I have an application that requires multiple views of the same data. Thus, in 
practice, I would ideally like to have two DataGrids, each with the same 
ArrayCollection as dataProvider, but each sorted differently. I know that 
sorting a DataGrid sorts the underlying dataProvider, so is there any way to 
achieve this without having two copies of the data and having to update the 
second when changes are made to the first.

  Thanks for your help.

RE: [flexcoders] Complicated form layout

[Tracy Spratt]

An HBox in a Form is a very different thing than a Form in an HBox.

 

A container is going to layout its children according to is own rules.
You can't expect it to alter those rules depending upon its parent.

Any hints on getting a localConnection to work from AIR to AIR?
It works from FLEX to FLEX, I am using the code from the livedocs
example. I am getting a statusEvent of 'error'.

I really have come to dislike the words "it doesn't work", please do not
use them any more.

 

Are you still getting the same compile error?

[flexcoders] Complicated form layout

[mmormando]

I find it odd that if I layout a flex form as


   
 

 
   
   
 

 
   

   
 
   
 
 
   
 
   


Now to my wee poor brain, the 2 should be the same, and while they
areroughlythe label alignment and all that is very different.
Can anyone explain to me why? And by that I don't mean, "If you put any
container between the form declaration and the form items it'll whack
out your stuff.", that much I've figured out by this point, I mean, why
the heck would they go to the trouble of making things whack out if a
form item's immediate parent ISN'T a form, as long as its eventual
parent is???
Ok, deep breath...sometimes you just have to let go.

Yes it does. It acts as a proxy between whatever application you are
using and whatever you are trying to contact. It automagically sets up
Firefox and Internet Exploiter. For other apps you may need to
manually set the proxy to the local machine and port.

[flexcoders] Re: ZendAmf Setup issue 1.7 where gateway filw working ?

[valdhor]

Saj

I think you have multiple problems in your setup.

Here is a quick HelloWorld example:

My PHP server is set up with two directories - Zend (Holds the Zend
Framework) and
ZendServices (Where all my AMF Services files are located in sub
directories). In this
ZendServices directory I have a Samples directory which has a helloamf
directory. In
this directory I have two files - index.php and HelloWorld.php...

=
index.php:
 setClass( "HelloWorld" );
echo( $server -> handle() );
=
HelloWorld.php:

=

Now to the Flex files. I have a project named ZendAMFSampleHelloAMF (You
can name yours
whatever you want).

=
ZendAMFSampleHelloAMF.mxml:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

=
services-config.xml:


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 *
 
 
 
 
 
 
 http://myserver.com/ZendServices/Samples/helloamf/";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
 
 

=

Note that the endpoint points to my helloamf directory on my server (See
above).
There is no gateway.php file with Zend_Amf.

Now, all you need to do is set your compiler preference additional
compiler arguments to:

-locale en_US -services "services-config.xml"

If you need a further example on how to pass value objects, please let
me know.


HTH

Re: [flexcoders] What comes out of a datagrid

[Adrian Williams]

Hi Wally,

   We have something that's practically identical to what you have 
described.  For ours, instead of waiting until all the people have been 
dragged, we setup a number of listeners on our blank ADG (DRAG_START, 
DRAG_ENTER, DRAG_DROP) and as soon as the person is dropped, we 
reference our sourceGrid.selectedItems  property which has the pertinent 
information about the 'fella' that was droppedonce we have that, we 
hit our web service, passing the information, including the group change 
info to our db.


   Alternatively, you can take a look at your teamDG.dataProvider and 
see the data that's been dropped in it...


HTH,
Adrian

 Subject: [flexcoders] Detect exeptions - help!!


 I've run into a very frustrating situation and need your help:

 - Flex uploads a file to the server
 - The server reads it into a Java BufferedImage object.
 - However, Java sometimes takes 40 seconds or longer to reply
 - In some cases it has difficulty reading the file.

 In the cases of problems, Flex just hangs. It doesn't reply with
 anything. Is it timing out? Any help appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: Using FABridge with SWFObject 2?

[Keith Hughitt]

Update:

I figured out how to get the FABridge to work with SWFObject. Here is a
simple working example with a button which when pressed calls a function
"test" in the Flex app:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>

 
 FABridge Test
 
 
 
 
 swfobject.registerObject("myFlashContent", "9.0.0",
"expressInstall.swf");
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer";>
 http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_playe\
r.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I have not been able to get the bridge/SWFObject to play nicely with
Prototype/jQuery, however. I would like to instantiate the FABridge when
the DOM is loaded, and then store a reference to be called periodically
later. So far the only thing that has worked for me is to instantiate it
as it's used, sometime after the DOM is loaded. When I try to use either
Prototype's Event.observer(window,) or jQuery's $() after loading
FABridge.js nothing happens.

If anyone has any idea why this is, I would be very interested to find
out.

Keith

[John McCormack]

Thanks Alex.

I had a peek at your blog and followed the link for localhost but they 
say it doesn't work at for the local ip address of 127.0.0.1 - on 
Windows. All the same, thank you for telling me about it, it sounds 
really good. I shall give it a go for other purposes. I wonder if 
Charles will capture localhost traffic?

RE: [flexcoders] AxisRenderer Embedded Font Bug?

[Battershall, Jeff]

Additional info - the chart is in a TitleWindow.  There seems to be a
lot of posts about this and similar issues with charts within modules,
etc.  I just haven't been able to get the "magic incantation" that will
make the fonts render.  I could just say "f-it" and render the labels
using device fonts and without rotation, but that kinda runs against the
grain, if you know what I mean.

I've got a vertical axis with an axisrenderer and I'm trying to rotate

I'm using MyriadWebPro as the embedded font and I've also tried this
with Arial with the same results. I've also tried this with no label

Yep its a bug, didn't bother to look it up but if you need a work around

_xmlVa = testID.result. (@now=='today' )[0];

should have been:

_xmlVar = testID.result. (@now=='today' )[0];

[flexcoders] What comes out of a datagrid

[Wally Kolcz]

Lets say I have 2 DataGrids, one has user info in it (populated with a binded 
ArrayCollection) and the other is blank (lets call it id="teamDG"). You can 
drag the people from the populated to the blank to populate it. Got that part 
to work fine.

When you have dragged all the people you wanted to the blank one and then 
wanted to save that new group of people, how can you go about saving them? Is 
there a specific array or object associated with that DataGrid (teamDG) which 
then you can pass to a function to populate a database? Any examples or 
tutorials out there? Thanks.

[flexcoders] very strange combobox problem when switching dataproviders

[Pan Troglodytes]

I'm running into something fairly perplexing.  Read the following code and
think of what you'd expect it to do when you click the change button.  Then
run it and click the change button.


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
  layout="vertical"
  creationComplete="cc()"
  >
  

  
  
  



What does it do?  Well, the combobox changes from saying "b" to "a".  The
trace says the following:
  before change:
c1.selectedIndex: 1
c1.selectedItem:  b

  after change:
c1.selectedIndex: 0
c1.selectedItem:  b

This is completely baffling.  My only guess is that somewhere in the guts of
combobox or its ancestors, it is registering for changes on a dataProvider
and not unregistering them when the dataProvider changes.  List does not
seem to suffer the same problem.

If you comment out the ArrayCollection-based version and uncomment the
Array-based version, it works as expected.

My next stop is a bug report, but I figured it'd be worth bringing up in
case anyone already knows of a bug report (kind of hard criteria to search
for) or a workaround if you need to use ArrayCollections.

Re: [flexcoders] How to increase datagrid Last Column WIDTH

[Jeffry Houser]

 Columns are only resizable within DataGrid, and clicking / dragging 
columns does not change the width of the DataGrid. 

 If I understand correctly you want to be able to expand the DataGrid by 
clicking and dragging the last column; is that correct? 

 Off the top of my head, I don't know of any default way to do that.

luck with it. I have a simple Flex application with a function that

thought the problem was related to compatability issues jQuery, although
even by doing things manually It does not want to work. I also tried
manually setting the bridge to use via flashvars:


FABridge.testBridge.root();

But that did not do the trick either.

Finally, I noticed that with the above code, it seems like only one
external script, either FABridge.js or swfobject.js is loaded, depending
on which one comes first, according to Firebug. I.e. when swfobject.js
is loaded first, Firebug only sees it. When FABridge.js is loaded first,
Firebug only sees that.


Any ideas? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

That would be great. There's a user group I was supposed to speak to 

about this process, but it turns out that there are very few free 

Flash components that will accept any kind of a data source except 

the path to an XML file. Since I wasn't able to give them the 3D 

wall (obviously) and I couldn't find a free component that I could 

let them use for hands-on practice, I'm in the process of writing an 

example component I can use to demo.

The problem is that I can't stop myself from building it "right" for 

Flex in the first place, so I won't be able to demo all the things 

you have to overcome to work with a component that's not very robust.

I can point them to your blog post to get more info on that.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Array Collection

[Tracy Spratt]

If it is a dynamic object, you can use for..in or for..each loops to
enumerate all of the properties.

 

Note, If you have an object, like: var oLookup:Object =  {p1:"v1",
p2:"v2", pa:"va", pb:"vb"};

You can randomly access the properties like this:

var sPropertyName:String = "pa";

var sPropertyValue:String = oLookup[sPropertyName];

it's ok..

instead if i would parse an object that contains strings?

so i would trace strings separately..how can i do this?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Prevent ItemRenderer click from selecting row?

[Alex Harui]

Sure, because it set up its listener first.  You can set your listener at a 
higher priority.  I'd still start with my list selection example on my blog.  
You should be able to tweak it to just not allow selection if the event.target 
is a button.

Hi,

I'm having trouble with the layout of the musical score I'm
displaying. It's generated from an xml file and I want the staves to
be placed on top of each other but I can't make it work. I have a
class which draws out the lines and the notes on it, so I instantiate
that class, create the lines and notes, then create a UIComponent to
add it to. There's three staves, so I do this for all three, then I
add them all to a VBox which I display. I thought this would mean
they'd be stacked on top of each other, but they're horizontally
placed (the second two a little bit lower than the first for some
reason). I'm assuming I'm missing something really obvious, so I'd be
grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Here's the code:

layout="vertical"
initialize="initializeHandler()"
horizontalAlign="left">









Thanks,

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Login / Password Form

[Tracy Spratt]

You could also store your authentication credentials in a file(xml?) on
the server.

 

The starting place is to choose your back-end platform/language(Java,
php, CF,.net, etc).  Then choose the RPC protocol(RemoteObject,
HTTPService, WebService) you will use between flex and that platform.
Then choose your Flex client UI style( ViewStack, pop-up, etc.)

I hide the login box and show the rest of the app which I have wrapped

If you dont want to have a database you could use an Array or Object to
store username and passwords hardcoded and check against them. Or if you
have just one username/password you could just use something like:

public function login(username:String, password:String):void {
if (username == "someusername" || password =
"somepassword"){
  //Your code to do whatever you want.

RE: [flexcoders] Invoking other module's actions

Sorry if that was a little confusing...Here is the scenario.

I have a module (myProjects) that has a viewstack (projectsVS) that allows me 
to switch between a 2 different sections (indexes). I want to, when the use 
logs out, make sure that the module's viewstack is set to selectedIndex=0, so 
when the user logs back in, its back on the first view in the stack...does that 
make sense.

So, in my main application I imported the module (import 
edu.umich.mods.myProjects;) and in the  logout function I tried to use: 
myProjects.projectsVS.selectedIndex=0;

Funny thing is that Flex Builder's code hinting showed each piece as I typed 
it, but when I went to run it I get this error:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property projectsVS through a reference with 
static type Class.

Any ideas? Better way to do this? Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Hand Cursor and datagrid

Hi Alex,

The only problems with setting it on the renderers, is the vertical gap
between the renderer and the row.  The cursor will flicker back and
forth between the hand and pointer as you move it up and down the list. 
Perhaps the highlight indicator is a possible place to try.

Thanks, Seth. I'd read the article, but your e-mail clarifies the
issues. I've looked over our usage and I think we're safe for now, but
this is sort of a time bomb, and it might make sense to fall back to
just Strings. The only alternative I see is ensuring to use .equals()
everywhere, which is tricky, especially when dealing with collections
and other data structures (since they'll already be using the standard
'==' equality checks).

Hi Maciek,

I don't know anything about Granite Data Services but a quick google
search returns this: http://www.graniteds.org/jira/browse/GDS-228

The reason why they're getting multiple instances of their "enum" AS
classes during deserialization is layed out in the post I linked to
below - without a readResolve() hook in the Player there's no way to
support reading singletons out of the AMF stream.

This means that you have potentially many duplicate instances of each
enum value floating around in the AVM. It looks like they've defined an
equals() method as an attempt to work around this, but while that's a
standard method defined on Java's base Object class there is no equals()
method defined in the core ECMAScript/ActionScript libraries. If I were
using client side enums in ActionScript, I'd expect simple equality
checks to work correctly and they won't with this approach.

Each of these classes will also add a bit to your swf size, but that's a
minor concern unless you're using tons of enums :)

I don't know what other value these classes may provide, perhaps some
help with data validation, but be careful in your code anywhere you're
expecting them to actually be singletons because they generally won't
be.

Best,
Seth

Interesting. Any thoughts on Granite Data Services' approach? There is a
custom externalization process for Java Enum objects, and a granite Enum
class in ActionScript that all your (generated) Enums extend. The enum
class takes care of reading/writing. The writeExternal() method just
writes the name of the Enum; readExternal() tries to find the name of
the object in the constants defined by the Enum. The RemoteAlias
metadata is set up as for a standard Java class.

Are we asking for trouble in using this method? Is there something
inherently dangerous here?

BlazeDS and LCDS roundtrip Java enums to the client and back as Strings.
That's the only good option at present, and here's an in-depth

Re: [flexcoders] Problem in Streaming Live data using Flash Media Server

[Nate Beck]

When you say... "present in the same directory".. which directory are you
referring to?  The FLV file resides in the same directory as your
application?
It's been a while since I've used FMS... but in Wowza Media Server there is
an audio folder where all of the stream FLV files are located.

Re: [flexcoders] Memory leak in mx:HTML

[Nate Beck]

I just started with with the Adobe AIR HTML component this week.  I hadn't
noticed the memory leak, but of course I'm actively in development.  I'll
have a look at it today to see if it's happening to me as well.
Also, mx:HTML is a Flex wrapper for HTMLLoader, I wonder if the same memory
leak occurs when you just a straight HTMLLoader?

I also voted on the bug, since this is something that should be looked at.

re: [flexcoders] Re: Login / Password Form

[Wally Kolcz]

I used a database and RemoteObject/Web Services to check a CFC with the query 
to see if the username and password matches and returns any info I need then I 
have something like this:

public function loginHandler(e:ResultEvent):void {
userData = e.result as ArrayCollection;
if (userData.length == 1){
 //Whatever you want to do.
}else{
username_txt.text = "";
password_txt.text = "";
Alert.show("Incorrect username and/or password. Please try 
again.","Login Error");
}

}

I hide the login box and show the rest of the app which I have wrapped in a 
canvas which visible is set to false.

If you dont want to have a database you could use an Array or Object to store 
username and passwords hardcoded and check against them. Or if you have just 
one username/password you could just use something like:

public function login(username:String, password:String):void {

if (username == "someusername" || password = "somepassword"){

  //Your code to do whatever you want.

}else{

username_txt.text = "";

password_txt.text = "";

Alert.show("Incorrect username and/or password. Please try 
again.","Login Error");

}

}

Each of my views in the viewStack is a different .MXML file/component. The

[flexcoders] Re:Adjusting Linear Axis minimum and maximum dynamically

[Gilbert Mizrahi]

Check the range you get when getting data from the server.

I am assuming -70 to 25 are values for the X axis.

Since your min value is -70 and your max value is 25 set a dummy point at 70
with Y value = "" (empty). 

Hence the dummy value will not be plotted, but the X Axis will go from -70
to 70.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Event and bubbling phase

[valdhor]

You can listen to any event in the event flow chain - you just need to
make sure which chain you are listening to.

You are using the popupmanager so you need to use the chain that is
based on systemmanager.

Is there any particular reason the "popup panel" cannot handle the
event itself?

If what you want to do is deploy a web service on your server,  the
simplest way by far is to use ColdFusion.  The Cfcomponent from the
ColdFusion 8 developers guide is all you need.

[flexcoders] Invoking other module's actions

[Wally Kolcz]

Sorry if that was a little confusing...Here is the scenario.

I have a module (myProjects) that has a viewstack (projectsVS) that allows me 
to switch between a 2 different sections (indexes). I want to, when the use 
logs out, make sure that the module's viewstack is set to selectedIndex=0, so 
when the user logs back in, its back on the first view in the stack...does that 
make sense.

So, in my main application I imported the module (import 
edu.umich.mods.myProjects;) and in the  logout function I tried to use: 
myProjects.projectsVS.selectedIndex=0;

Funny thing is that Flex Builder's code hinting showed each piece as I typed 
it, but when I went to run it I get this error:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property projectsVS through a reference with 
static type Class.

Any ideas? Better way to do this? Thanks.

Yes, there's no advantage to wrapping an HBox in a UIComponent.  If 
you're up for some code, you could pull in HaloBorder and use that.  It 
simplifies adding container-like styles to a UIcomponent.

You could also just use a Loader and load the image into that, based on 
the style.

That example was just the tip of the iceberg of what's possible to do--
you need to use your creativity and research skills to figure out how 
to make the specific thing you're aiming for happen.

If you don't feel you're ready for that, I'd use a Canvas with 
constraint based layouts.  That's at least lighter than HBox.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Geting the 3dWall Pro to work as flex component ?

[Grant Davies]

I've blogged how to get the 3dWall working as flex component using the
Flex Component kit for flash - here :

I chose to put some code in Flash to "clean up" the interface and 
make it more compatible with Flex.

That would be great. There's a user group I was supposed to speak to 
about this process, but it turns out that there are very few free 
Flash components that will accept any kind of a data source except 
the path to an XML file. Since I wasn't able to give them the 3D 
wall (obviously) and I couldn't find a free component that I could 
let them use for hands-on practice, I'm in the process of writing an 
example component I can use to demo.

The problem is that I can't stop myself from building it "right" for 
Flex in the first place, so I won't be able to demo all the things 
you have to overcome to work with a component that's not very robust.

I can point them to your blog post to get more info on that.

Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: mx:Text maxWidth

[Josh McDonald]

Ack, I've just this minute come up on the same thing. This is annoying as
hell, I've used maxwidth all over the place without noticing it wasn't
working until now. What I want is to have my text centered if it's narrow,
and left justified (+ wrapped of course) if it exceeds maxWidth.

I need this, so I've created a bug:

https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-19111

I should have it fixed in a short while, and you can monkey-patch my changes
or extend Text to do it, email me off-list if you want me to send you the
fix so you can monkey-patch it in.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adding styles to UIComponents

[Josh McDonald]

UIComponent doesn't have any code for drawing background images. If you want
a background image without the overhead of using a Container such as Box,
you'll have to build a subclass of UIComponent that does. Or simply add an
Image as the first child of your UIComponent. Are you extending UIComponent,
or just instantiating them because you want someplace to put an image?

Re: [flexcoders] Java enum in Flex3

[Josh McDonald]

I'm kicking off a blaze-ds project this weekend, and I'll be doing typesafe
java<->flex enums, when I figure it out I'll blog about it and post it here
:) It'll probably just require a small amount of custom unmarshalling code,
there's a lot of undocumented flexibility in mx.rpc.*

[flexcoders] Problem in Streaming Live data using Flash Media Server

[akila_ksri]

I have the client application and the FMS running on the same machine,
the client app connects to the server successfully but fails to play 
any content(Pre-recorded flv/swf) which is also present in the same 
directory using NetStream.play("contentPath"); and i always get 
"NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound"
Could anyone tell me if i am doing anything wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Akila

[flexcoders] Displaying UIComponents vertically

[annelie2008]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with the layout of the musical score I'm 
displaying. It's generated from an xml file and I want the staves to 
be placed on top of each other but I can't make it work. I have a 
class which draws out the lines and the notes on it, so I instantiate 
that class, create the lines and notes, then create a UIComponent to 
add it to. There's three staves, so I do this for all three, then I 
add them all to a VBox which I display. I thought this would mean 
they'd be stacked on top of each other, but they're horizontally 
placed (the second two a little bit lower than the first for some 
reason). I'm assuming I'm missing something really obvious, so I'd be 
grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Here's the code:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
layout="vertical"
initialize="initializeHandler()"
horizontalAlign="left">











Thanks,

Annelie

it's ok..

instead if i would parse an object that contains strings?

for example i've an object that has three strings like this

- test1, test2, test3 

so i would trace strings separately..how can i do this?
