Subject: [flexcoders] embedded font causes labels to appear with
backgroundColor lighter than expected
In my Flex 3 app, when I use an embedded font, I notice that some
of my labels appear against a backgroundColor that is lighter than
the surrounding backgroundColor (sometimes, in repeatable
conditions), even though this is nowhere specified explictly.
If I use a system font like '_sans' this does not happen.
Can anyone explain why this would be, or how I can fix this
behavior?
My css code:
@font-face {
src: url('/assets/fonts/MyriadWebPro/MyriadWebPro.ttf');
fontFamily: myriadWebPro;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
}
global {
fontFamily: myriadWebPro;
fontSize: 12;
border: 1px;
borderStyle: solid;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
color: white;
}
I also observe that if I say
fontFamily: myriadWebPro,
it loads the myriadWebPro font, but if I say
fontFamily: myriadWebPro, '_sans',
it will load a default serif font instead. That seems very strange.

I'm still on the hunt for a code sample using a ChangeWatcher or

When someone clicks an item in the list, it seems that scoping within the item renderer using either: Application.application.currentAC = this.itemRenderersAC; would work to update the currentAC array, and as well it seems that parentDocument.currentAC = this.itemRenderersAC; would work too, but I can't make that tightly coupled situation work for some reason. So... I move on to the proper, loosely coupled approach with little success as well. No errors, but no currentAC update. I tried to dispatchEvent from the itemRenderer and have it be handled by...anything, and I'm just not getting the syntax or something, and nothing needs to even be passed around, I just need to update an array with the itemRenderer's Array that has a known array name. I'm tired or dumb, or I could be both.

[flexcoders] Stop Key press
How can i disable/ suppress the default behavior of a button, where if it has focus then space-bar key-press fires the click event. Basically I want click to work as normal, but space-bar Key-press if it's the space bar, do nothing.

RE: [flexcoders] Stop Key press
I remember coming across this issue quite a while back and it's because your new modal window hasn't taken the focus away from the button which opens the popup. When you create and show the popup use the focusmanager to give a button or whatever you have in your popup focus. That way when the user presses space bar again it will not be 'clicking' the button which originally opened the modal window. HTH Kenneth.

RE: [flexcoders] I'm just not seeing it guys/gals... (events/scopes)
Your e-mail is not very clear. There are many ways to get the array collection to update. Anyway, if you are using a drop-in item renderer, I suggest that you access the listData property of the itemRenderer. listData has a property called owner. So you could have your item renderer dispatch an event using the owner property. This way, the event will be seen as coming from the list itself. so, from inside the item renderer: listData.owner.dispatchEvent(your event); and attach listeners to the list itself to get notified. http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=97359714/grpId=12286167/grpspId=1705007207/ msgId=136557/stime=1234359703/nc1=4507179/nc2=3848640/nc3=4836038

Be sure that your event is set to bubble. If you could share your itemRenderer code and/or the listener code that might help debug it. _ -- Jeffry Houser, Technical Entrepreneur Adobe Community Expert: http://tinyurl.com/684b5h http://www.twitter.com/reboog711 | Phone: 203-379-0773 -- Easy to use Interface Components for Flex Developers http://www.flextras.com?c=104 -- http://www.theflexshow.com http://www.jeffryhouser.com -- Part of the DotComIt Brain Trust
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Stop Key press
Well you only need to take the focus away when you open a popup so if some buttons do not have a popup just leave the focus as is. Either way you can also look at the event which has caused the 'click' event on the button. If the event.localX is NaN it's not come from the mouse and has come from the space bar (same for localY, stageX stagey). Debug your app and you'll see what I mean. Kenneth.

Your e-mail is not very clear. There are many ways to get the array
collection to update. Anyway, if you are using a drop-in item
renderer, I suggest that you access the listData property of the
itemRenderer. listData has a property called owner. So you could
have your item renderer dispatch an event using the owner property.
This way, the event will be seen as coming from the list itself. so,
from inside the item renderer: listData.owner.dispatchEvent(your
event); and attach listeners to the list itself to get notified.

[flexcoders] Http login to a server from Flex client
Hello all, My application scenerion is this: My desktop flex client needs to access a third party application. Which I can easily do with an Http login (providing the login/password and accessing whatever page I want to access through a single URL). However what I am not able to do is: keeping my logged in session active. Every time I have to access the 3rd party application I have to login in every single time. Any help on how I can login just once and keep doing my work until I log out, will be greatly appreciated. Just as a side note: If I bring up the same 3rd party application through Iframe inside my flex client and then login through the browser it works just fine. Logged in session just does not go away. Example code will be greatly appreciated. Best Regards
[flexcoders] Discussing Shared Codebase between Flex and AIR project
Hi gang, Yes, it's another one :) But I am going to approach it a different way. My question is based on David Coletta's MAX presentation. If you haven't seen his presentation, please watch here: http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15384v1022 The slides are available here: http://www.slideshare.net/dcoletta/DavidColettaArchitecting-a-Shared- Codebase-for-Browser-and-DesktopFinal To everyone who has seen his presentations, could you help me out in understanding how his Browser SWFs included in AIR file works to solve the Shared code packaging ? This is what I understand on what he did with that approach: 1. Only have one AIR project that contains all AIR implementation. 2. Each of your module's common functionality, extract them out to an interface and then have Flex-specific and AIR-specific class implements the interface. So I am kind of get the idea but I have a very hard time understanding on how he was able to get each module to have the AIR project to serve the module's AIR-implementation needs? Thanks!
[flexcoders] portlets in Flex
Hey all, Does anyone know of a way to safely load and run 3rd party modules? I'm working on a team that is building a large application (like a 'portal') that needs to be able to load in modules that might not be of very high quality (like 'portlets'). We need to make sure that exceptions raised in those modules don't bring down our entire application. Is there any way to sandbox them so that the exceptions don't bubble up out of the sandbox? A try/catch doesn't cover it, because these modules can exist long past just load/creation-time and they can do lots of things to cause exceptions outside of any try/catch we can wrap around it. Without a solution to this, we're probably going to have to move to a more hybrid html/flex model, because at least in that case the multiple player instances can fail independently... Thanks for any ideas, . Gregg Caines gr...@caines.ca

Re: [flexcoders] Http login to a server from Flex client
The most common way is to have a facade class on the remote server that handles the sessions; and after login that facade sends you back some session key you can pass with each request. Additionally, it appears that the Flash Player will send cookies set on the same domain as part of the remote object call. So, if your swf is served from the same domain as the login service, they should work--assuming that the login service is keeping track of login w/ cookies. Beyond that; I don't have a solution. hworke wrote: Hello all, My application scenerion is this: My desktop flex client needs to access a third party application.

RE: [flexcoders] Discussing Shared Codebase between Flex and AIR project
We've used the strategy pattern for this. We do something similar to how ToolTipManager uses toolTipClass. When the app starts up (or module is loaded), the correct classes are injected into the files which have AIR / player differences. We also have two front end swfs which are little more than preloaders primed with appropriate classes for the rest of the application. As an example, we've used this mechanism to cache the same data in the SQLite DB in AIR, or a Shared Object in the Flash player via the same call (i.e. the rest of the app was agnostic to whether it was in AIR or FP) Gk.

[flexcoders] preventing flex List rollover indicator to draw on selected item.
This thing has always bugged me. the rollover effect should never appear on a selected item in a list. unfortunately that's not how the List works. The list is using an itemrenderer implementing IDropInListItemRenderer. and I already do various visual changes using the: ListBase(owner).isItemHighlighted(data) and ListBase(owner).isItemSelected(data) in the itemrenderer. I imagine I could: 1. get rid off the rollover effect entirely by setting the list useRollOver style property to false and handling the rollover through the itemrenderer. 2. make an new List class and override it's drawHighlightIndicator() method. any idea how to prevent drawHighlightIndicator() to operate on the selectedItem ? any other solution ? thanks

[flexcoders] AIR Application optimizing...
So I've been working with Alchemy for a while now, and I hear of the size optimization issues with using it. What is the reasoning behind optimizing a SWF size when building an AIR application? I don't do anything to shrink the size of the output swf (or even try) since it is running on it's own on the user's system (vs. the browser over the internet). I know it'd be better to optimize and get the file size down as small as possible but, what difference does it really make? I totally see why you'd optimize a web based Flex app - that's obvious to me - but I don't really know what difference it would bring to cut out 200-300kb from an AIR application. Anyone else have any thoughts on it? -Nathan
[flexcoders] ignore my posts from this morning...
Ugh. The problem was staring me in the face! (The arrayCollection declared in the main application was not public and not available as a settable prop to other components.) Duh.
RE: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection DataProvider question.
That is not as bad as I thought it might be(I was expecting to see the
default resultFormat. E4x is good!), but it is a bit odd. You are
manually building an ArrayCollection of XML nodes.
I don't see any reason to do that. Just use XMLListCollection, and
avoid the loop.
Now, best practice, or at least this list's apparent consensus of best
practice, is to do what you are doing, but instead of adding xml nodes,
you populate a strongly data typed Value Object and add tht to the
ArrayCollection. This is probably the most efficient and performant
approach.
But I mostly use XML and XMLListCollection.

RE: [flexcoders] Chart Axis Location
I'm not using titles for the chart, so those don't matter. Let's say that I have the LineChart in a Canvas and i want the chart to fill 100% of that canvas so that I don't see anything on any sides of the chart (no buffer for axis labels and such).

[flexcoders] SWFLoader and LocalConnection
Hi there, I'm struggeling with a strange issue: I need to load multiple SWFs and call a function inside them. All SWFs contain a localconnection. I know a local connection ID can only exist once. Is it possible to load and unload these SWFs with the same connection ID? The first call of swfLoader.source = clip1.swf; works. But if I try to load the next one with swfLoader.source = clip2.swf; doesnt work. I've already tried to close the connection and recreate the localconnection object. But nothing works for me. Any ideas? Many thanks. Best regards, Werner

[flexcoders] Re: Chart Axis Location
If I understand correctly, you want to: 1) turn off all ticks (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=charts_formatting_04.html) 2) move the horizontal AxisRenderer. Ex: myHorizAxisRenderer.move(myHorizAxisRenderer.x, yourNewYPos); Keep in mind that you can set the placement for the horizontal AxisRenderer to initially be at the top of your chart. Then just move it down as needed to overlap the top of the chart. -Eddie www.edberman.com --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Chad Callahan chad.calla...@... wrote: And this is what I have so far http://screencast.com/t/UlS2yx1y From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Chad Callahan Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 1:51 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Chart Axis Location I'm not using titles for the chart, so those don't matter.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: embedded font causes labels to appear with backgroundColor lighter than expected
I ran my test in IE6, no problems. Can you post your test case? Sometimes
these are caused by the player's interaction with the hardware like a GPU or
with features like font-smoothing. You can play around with those settings and
see if they make a difference. There also is an mm.cfg file in docsettings
that can tweak how the player uses some of these features. I think one of the
flags is disableMultiCoreRendering.

Following is a nice, minimal example that recreates this issue. It

Your version of Flex may not allow a list of fontFamilies.
How much lighter is the background? Do you have filters applied,
alpha? I've seen slight changes (0xfefefe becomes 0xfdfdfd), but not
much more than that. Try turning off advancedAntiAliasing.

Subject: [flexcoders] embedded font causes labels to appear with
backgroundColor lighter than expected
In my Flex 3 app, when I use an embedded font, I notice that some
of my labels appear against a backgroundColor that is lighter than
the surrounding backgroundColor (sometimes, in repeatable
conditions), even though this is nowhere specified explictly.
If I use a system font like '_sans' this does not happen.
Can anyone explain why this would be, or how I can fix this
behavior?
My css code:
@font-face {
src: url('/assets/fonts/MyriadWebPro/MyriadWebPro.ttf');
fontFamily: myriadWebPro;
! ; advanc edAntiAliasing: true;
}
global {
fontFamily: myriadWebPro;
fontSize: 12;
border: 1px;
borderStyle: solid;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
color: white;
}
I also observe that if I say
fontFamily: myriadWebPro,
it loads the myriadWebPro font, but if I say
fontFamily: myriadWebPro, '_sans',
it will load a default serif font instead. That seems very strange.

I think your problem is actually more like Q 15.
I'd suggest that when your service result returns that you dispatch
a gotData event or something and then expose a public property that
the parent application reads when the data is returned.
Or you might want to consider having the application do the retrieval
instead of the renderer. I'm not sure how appropriate it is to have
itemRenderers acting as controllers.
[flexcoders]Architect an image gallery transition effect - design suggestions
I'm trying to create an image gallery component and I need some help. I have an Image component working. It has next and previous buttons that change the source of the Image component when they are clicked. This works fine so far. The problem is it looks like crap when it changes. How would you architect a source change effect so there would be a nice transition between the current image and the next or previous image? For example, I want it to handle a crossfade where one image fades out and the next fades in or a move in effect where one image moves off the screen (and fades out) and another image fades in and moves in to the current image location. I know there is a showEffect and hideEffect but I need something like a sourceChangeNextEffect and a sourceChangePreviousEffect.

The SWF size is 1.5 MB. The application has around 15 tabs. When all the tabs are visited once the application shows a memory foot print of 400 MB in the windows task manager. I used flex profiler but there is no memory leak. I was wondering that how flex handles garbage collection because once the tabs are created they never seem to be releasing any memory. Also flex profiler shows that my Datagrid header renderer occupies 40% of the total memory consumed. Can someone suggest ways of reducing the memory foot print and show an ideal way of writing a header renderer (we use it for full database sort).

RE: [flexcoders]Architect an image gallery transition effect - design suggestions
Seems like you're trying to do too much with triggers. Why not just handle whatever arbitrary event you're after (like clicking on the next/prev buttons) and then manually launch your custom effect with the appropriate target(s)? If necessary, the even handler could set up information on the effect (like the x/y positions for a move or whatever) prior to launching. Chet.

I have an Image component working. It has next and previous buttons that change the source of the Image component when they are clicked. This works fine so far. The problem is it looks like crap when it changes. How would you architect a source change effect so there would be a nice transition between the current image and the next or previous image? For example, I want it to handle a crossfade where one image fades out and the next fades in or a move in effect where one image moves off the screen (and fades out) and another image fades in and moves in to the current image location. I know there is a showEffect and hideEffect but I need something like a sourceChangeNextEffect and a sourceChangePreviousEffect.

Re: [flexcoders]Architect an image gallery transition effect - design suggestions
@Michael - I was thinking about that but I'm wondering how to structure it where I can handle any transition. @Chet - Let's say that I'm creating an Image Gallery component for Flash Catalyst (not that I am - eh hem cough cough) and I want to let the user create the transitions in and out effects in Flash Catalyst how do I need to structure that?

We didn't know if a component-level Boolean flag to control editability was necessary (it was the source for a notorious set of hairy issues in Halo List and we were wary of tackling that in Spark) b.) It was relatively straightforward to extend the component to include the concept of an editable state and author an edit-aware skin.

Your quesiton was: Just now, the majority of the functionality ItemEditor provides can be repeated by a ItemRenderer. With Gumbo giving better access to states, is it time to admit that Editing is just a state of the renderer? I believe the answer is yes :-)
