RE: [flexcoders] Does the [SWF] meta tag really support widthPercect and heightPercent attribute?

[Alex Harui]

If you use %, the size gets set to 500x375 and %'s get pushed into the html 
template.  I'd just set usePreloader=false and show your own mx:ProgressBar.

seems to suggest that in addition to pixel width, I can specify
percent value (similar to how I do it in html flash wrapper). But I
can't get it to work. Is it really supported?

[SWF(widthPercent="100", heightPercent="100")]

Background:

The reason I need it is to force a nested swf's size to match its
parent container (loader?) width/height, so that the preloader is
shown centered with respect to the parent application.

Right now, while loading, the nested swf seems to be at a size of
500x325 (not sure where that value came from). And it is not center
aligned wrt the parent. And I end up with a preloader that is off center.

Any suggestions?

RE: [flexcoders] Memory consumption. Part 2. ItemRenderers

[Alex Harui]

ListItemRenderer.as adds and removes its icon in commitProperties.  If it is 
the same 3 icons, and they are small, they should be embedded and then you 
don't need the Image class and will save lots of memory that way too.

Subject: [flexcoders] Memory consumption. Part 2. ItemRenderers


Hi Everybody,

I have identified the memory consumption problem within the custom
ItemRenderer. This IR is derived from UIComponent and besides other
elements has 3 Image members to display 3 possible icons.
The grid has around 200 elements, so 200 IRs are created at the
startup. Each IR creates 3 Images in createChildren() method with
source = null. Source is set in the commitProperties() method, when we
know the data. In reality only 10-15 IRs are displaying icons, the
rest are just waisting the space (600 instances of Image consumes
aroung 700Kb according to Profiler).

My question is how can I improve the efficiency of this IR?

Is this possible to create Image instances on demand, not in the
createChildren() method?

I tried to create and destroy Images in commitProperties() according
to data, but then I bumped into the problem that updateDisplayList()
for the IR could be called with inconsistent data. I.e. data says that
we need icons, but the the Image objects is null, they have not been
created yet by commitProperties()/set data() for this instance.
Is this a recycling feature that the order of
commitProperties()/updateDIsplayList() are not guaranteed? Or I have
overseen something?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Dmitri.

Hello All,

Please help me out.

Maybe use a global dictionary with each instance of the loader as the
key:

 

public var dic:Dictionary = new Dictionary();

...

dic[myLoader] = "artist";

 

then in the COMPLETE handler, look it up:

 

var token:String = dic[URLLoader(event.target)];

RE: {Disarmed} [flexcoders] "AIR update framework" only works to update AIR file?

[Kevin Benz]

You need to be aware of the two paths to update Air applications. The UI
approach, one where you configure the UI of the update process through a
XML file and an API approach where you take programmatic control of the
update. Ultimately the goal of the UpdaterUI was to update the Air file
alone (and then start it)so if you need to move files around, update
SQLite or something like that, you are going to have to do what you need
in Actionscript. The update framework  in no-way has the capabilities of
commercial installers. Can't call external processes, directly move
files around, etc

 

Since the updater mechanisms are running in the old code, not the new
Air file, it can't know what needs to updated, meaning you are going to
end up writing code in your app's normal bootstrap process that
determines that an update has occurred and makes the necessary changes.
There are a number of references about determining whether it's the
first-run or not so adaptation of those techniques is probably worth
looking at.

 

In our apps, we have the current client version in the SQLite database.
If the running client does not match that version number, we call
whatever update process we need and on completion update SQLite to the
current running client version id.

Hi all,

I have been reading articles about using "AIR update framework."
To my understanding this only works to update AIR file??

I hope I am wrong...
Since my AIR app is using Flex-only swcs and is loading Flex-only 
modules.

Anybody can shed a light on this?

I have a series of 3 linkButtons.
I am able to switch the styleName of a linkButton when I click on it 
as follows:

[Bindable]
private var linkButton:String = 'linkButton' ;

[Bindable]
private var linkButtonOff: String = 'linkButtonOff' ;

How can I automatically reset all the other linkButtons styleNames

[flexcoders] Locale Resource Problem Compiling Automation with Maven

[Brad Keck]

 I am trying to compile my code with automation libraries so that it
can be tested with silk.  Currently, I am able to do this without 
trouble in Flex Builder using this command line argument: 
-include-libraries "...\automation.swc" "...\automation_agent.swc" 
"...\FlexTechDomain.swc"  (... represents the full path on my local
machine)   However, we have continuous integration using a maven build
so I am  trying to get it to build that way.  When I do so, however, I
am  getting these error messages:  [ERROR] Unable to resolve resource
bundle "automation" for  locale "en_US". [ERROR] Unable to resolve
resource bundle "automation_agent" for  locale "en_US".  Any clue why
this is?  Here are the dependencies in my pom:

[flexcoders] Re: Idiots guide to crossdomain.xml

[sunild999999]

If your SWF is hosted on server A, and it needs to access data from servers B, 
C, and D 
then you need to put a cross domain policy file on servers B, C, and D that 
permit access 
from server A.

Note, these servers (A,B,C,D) are different servers ... the names are not 
aliases. It kind of 
sounded like one of your host names is an alias for the other.

The cross domain policy file you deploy on each web server should allow access 
from 
server A, since that is where your SWF is hosted:



Also, newer versions of the Flash player will complain if your cross domain 
policy file does 
not have a "site-control" tag.  Here's a simple one I use:



Which means there's only one policy file for my site.

Adobe has some good resources on their site:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/security/

Check out the articles titled "Cross-domain policy file specification" and 
"Understanding 
security changes in Flash Player 10".

[flexcoders] sprite.startDrag() - Only one sprite is draggable at a time :-(

[Mic]

Requirements are for a draggable "calculator" pop-up that looks like a
calculator i.e. the calculator image is the frame/border - irregular
shape - no rectangularPanel/TitleWindow. I created 2 components, the
calculator Image and an "inner" Panel component with calculator
functionality, titleBar drag and resizing.
   The size of the outer calculator Image is bound to the resize of
the inner Panel e.g.

var watcherSetter:ChangeWatcher = 
BindingUtils.bindSetter(calculatorImageWidth,sPanel,"width");

and this works perfectly. So I coded the synchronized drag of the 2
components with a titleBarMoveHandler() on the alpha=0 TitleBar of the
inner Panel:

this.startDrag();
calculatorImage.startDrag();

and then found the fine print - sprite.startDrag() - Only one sprite
is draggable at a time. So somebody gets left behind :-)

Can google no examples of this kind of thing, so any pointers
appreciated. TIA,

Mic.

6. If I have a skin in Flex Builder and I want to edit it visually, how
would I do that? For example, in some of the design tools, if I have a

[flexcoders]Does Flex 4 Gumbo support styles and other questions

[dorkie dork from dorktown]

I've read about and seen the presentation on Flex 4 Gumbo components but I'm
still unclear on how it works. Note: These questions pertain to Flex
Builder.

1. If I add a Gumbo component to the stage (design view) am I able to set
styles on it? Do these styles affect vector FXG graphics that already exist
in the skin file or are they drawn with the graphics object like in the halo
set, graphics.drawRectangle() etc?

2. Will Illustrator, Photoshop, Fireworks and Flash (henceforth known as
PIFF) export a FXG button skin that we can drop into Flex and have it work
or does it export FXG markup and we then connect the data?

3. Can we import a Gumbo skin into PIFF and then style or change the
graphics in the design tool and then export that back out, sans whatever
Flash Catalyst?

4. What would be a better acronym than PIFF (photoshop, illustrator,
fireworks and flash), sounds like a graphic format :P? Any other compatible
graphic tools I'm missing?

5. A few members of the Photoshop community have talked about support for
the Flash renderer in PIF (flash already has the FP renderer). This renderer
would mix with the current design tool's renderer to provide a live
design-time rendering of the Flex components and a separate property
inspector to set styles of the components. Of course, you would also be able
to work with the graphic elements as well. This would also pave the way to
allow the design tools use any of the Flex containers to aide the designer
in the layout of the design (using hbox, vbox, etc). Is there any interest
in this?

[flexcoders] Re: Problem calling a web service - error 2032

[guy.tomer]

Yep, this error doesn't give any info...

I took a look at the server side, apparently the server (Java xFire) 
was throwing an error "There must be a method name element.". 

I'm stopping the digging here since I have a work around - adding a 
dummy parameter to the method and avoiding a web service method with 
no parameters works around this annoying bug. 

I must say that this together with other bugs I encountered with Flex 
webservices makes me wonder if this is a mature technology...

OK - I got an answer on the Adobe Flex forum and I wanted to post here
to follow up.  Arrays cannot be used in binding expressions, but
ArrayCollections can.  So I created an ArrayCollection, then set the
effect's targets attribute to ArrayCollection.source. That worked.

[flexcoders] Re: Problem calling a web service - error 2032

This is a very annoying error that appears to have a zillion different
causes - all it means is that something went wrong when flex tried to

could mean that it bombed for some reason. 

After hunting around on the web for endless hours, I figured out that
the only way to resolve this error is to debug the webservice or
function call by typing in the url directly.

In my case, It turned out to be the simple fact that I copied over the
wrong (buggy) file to my server thanks to the way that flexbuilder
caches source code to my local host.

Re: [flexcoders] HTML editor for Flex Builder 3?

[Alan K]

Download Eclipse PDT and install Flex Builder as a Plug ­in.

You will have code hinting and debugging for HTML, XML, PHP as well as other
nifty stuff.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: filter arraycollection with checkbox acting wired

[Tracy Spratt]

I think I suggested already that you just need to debug this.  Find an
item that does not filter as you expect, step through the code til you
hit that item, then step through the code to see why the filter function
is not returning the expected value.  It will almost certainly be
obvious.

 

For us to help, we need to do that process a a thought experiment.  It
will be much easier for you do do it in the debugger.

RE: [flexcoders] how to bubble and catch events

[Tracy Spratt]

That should work, the second argument in the event constructor makes it
bubble.

 

I don't see your listener defined.  You should do that in a function
called on creation complete of the application:

this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, onAction)

That'll just rotate infinitely -- it would be up to you to turn this

Yeah, it's possible with 3.2. As long as you are targeting FP10, check
out the x, y, z, rotationX, rotationY, and rotationZ on DisplayObject in

If you're targeting FP9, it's a much more manual process to organize the

RE: [flexcoders] HTML > advice please

[Tracy Spratt]

I have tried a couple and I prefer Alistair Rutherford's component.

http://ccgi.arutherford.plus.com/blog/wordpress/?page_id=171
 

 

Note that a fairly recent change to the code has made it so that it
requires history management in the Flex wrapper,  Since I always turn
this off, I had to make a small modification to the code to make it work
for me.

 

But other than that, it works flawlessly, seamlessly, in a word, great.

Its for a dashboard app that has flex elements, but must be able to

I'm not sure what other technologies would be able to do this, Ajax,
JavaScript?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. ..thanks

Re: [flexcoders] filter arraycollection with checkbox acting wired

[Henrique]

What's the type of your property pizza? Boolean? yes/no is not  Boolean...
If you have Boolean values, you have to do like this..

private function processFilter(item:Object):Boolean {

return Boolean(item.value) == true;

}


Or... string values, yes/no values:


private function processFilter(item:Object):Boolean {

var isYes:Boolean = item.value == "yes" ? true : false;

return checkBox.selected == isYes;

}

[flexcoders] Help Me for SharedObject and registerClassAlias method

[thelordsince1984]

Hi,

i've yet posted this question but i can't resolve this problem..

i've created a custom value object class..a simple class with private
properties and getters methods to retrieve them.

public class WindowInfo
{   

private var _id:String;

private var _module:String

private var _xpos:int;

private var _ypos:int;

private var _width:int;

private var _height:int;

public function WindowInfo(id:String, module:String, xpos:int,
ypos:int, width:int, height:int)
{
this._id = id;
this._module = module;
this._xpos = xpos;
this._ypos = ypos;
this._width = width;
this._height = height;
}

public function get id():String {
return _id;
}

public function get module():String {
return _module;
}

public function get xpos():int {
return _xpos;
}

public function get ypos():int {
return _ypos;
}

public function get width():int {
return _width;
}

public function get height():int {
return _height;
}
}

then i created an array collection where each item is an istance of
value object.
then i have a shared object manager that looks like this:

package util{

import flash.net.SharedObject;

import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

public class SharedObjectApplicationManager {

private var mySO:SharedObject;
private var ac:ArrayCollection;
private var lsoType:String;

public function SharedObjectApplicationManager(s:String) {
init(s);
}

private function init(s:String):void {
mySO = SharedObject.getLocal(s);
if (getf()) {
getf();
}
}

public function getf():ArrayCollection {
return mySO.data.arrayc;
}

private function adda(array:ArrayCollection):void {
mySO.data.arrayc = new ArrayCollection();
mySO.data.arrayc = array;
mySO.flush();
}
}
}

so when i try to get arraycollection with getf method i get an
arraycollection of generic objects…not with windowinfo objects..in
this manner i can't get value properties of value object class.

so i would use registerClassAlias("Info", WindowInfo) where WindowInfo
is the VO..but where?

the architecture of my app is:

-main application (verify the shared object, if full then call a
public function of canvas to create windows with specific parameters
saved in windowinfo class)
–canvas (contains one or more windows)

any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

RE: [flexcoders] pie chart question

Yes, if you listen for the itemClick event on the PieChart. Then inside
the event you'll find that the event.hitData.id will be the element
number from your dataprovider.  So depending on how your data is set up
you'll be able to take it from there.

[flexcoders] AIR Application is not Appearing

Hello All,
I created an AIR Application which was previously based on AIR 1.0 and I am
some more features in that application and compiling with the update of Flex
3 and targeting it for AIR 1.5. After making air file I am putting it onto
sever to access by users. But when any user trying to run it after uploading
it's not displaying any window only showing task-bar button and doing
noting. When I use the task-bar context to move command I can see the dotted
rectangle on the desktop. I also checked for the installation folder of the
application in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings but there
was no any folder for it.

Please help me out.

[flexcoders] Register custom URI Scheme on the OS for AIR applications?

[Marcello Teodori]

Hi all, I am building a chat client with Flex and AIR and I was wondering if it 
was possible to 
let the application register a custom URI scheme on the host OS like the Skype 
client does 
with:
  callto:?call for text chat
and
 callto:?chat for audio/video chat
so that I can build a web page or mail signature using those and automatically 
trigger the 
start of my AIR application executing a specific function like the text or 
audio/video chat in 
this case.

All the documentation I've found on the Adobe web site only talks about file 
extensions 
associations, but not URI schemes, so my guess is that this feature is 
currently not 
supported.
Should I file it as an enhancement request, is it correct to use the Flash 
Player Jira also for requests for AIR?
  http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP

Thanks for any insight,
  Marcello

Hi All



As far as I know, we can't load complex HTML pages into a Flex

control, but I was wondering if anybody has had experience with this.



Its for a dashboard app that has flex elements, but must be able to

load full websites into specific "containers" of the dashboard.



I'm not sure what other technologies would be able to do this, Ajax,

JavaScript?



Any suggestions would be appreciated. ..thanks

[flexcoders] need visual design work done

[stinasius]

hi i need a very good visual design to do some visual work for me.
what is need is listed below

1- nice dark background that matches the darkroom theme(am using
darkroom theme and need a background image)

2- nice effects (resize, move, fade or zoom) for popup ie titlewindow
when popuping up and when closing

3- very fluid change effects for viewstack children

4- filter effects for tilelist

5- custom titlewindow with header background image and anchored round
close button(dont like the skinned titlewindow of darkroom theme)

6- whatever you feel is good that i have left out.

remember that they should be compatible with both flex sdk 2 and sdk
3. am currently using sdk 2. let me know how much it costs. thanks

[flexcoders] Problem calling a web service - error 2032

[guy.tomer]

Hello,

I've been struggling half a day with this Error 2032 returning from 
one of the APIs in my webservice. This API already worked and somehow 
after regenerating the proxies it stopped! Finally I figured out the 
only difference between this API and the others that work is that this 
one gets no parameters... crazy as it sounds when I added a parameter 
to the API and regenerated the classes everything began to work...

Does anyone have an explanation? or do I have to leave this ugly dummy 
and mark it as another bug in the generated classes implementation...

Anyway - at least maybe this will save others the fight.

[flexcoders] Dragging an image out of a tilelist

[lanekelly5]

First post to the group.  Glad I found this as a resource...


I have a TileList control with cells that contain an image and a 
label. See the itemRenderer code:

Code:
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
horizontalAlign="center"
verticalAlign="middle">






What I want to do is give the user the ability to drag just the image 
portion of the cell onto a different canvas. Here's where I am so far 
on the TileList code:

Code:

Not sure if I should be using "mouseMove" to start the drag or some 
other event. But in the handler, I'm unsure of how to reference the 
image inside the cell of the TileList. I want to show that as the 
dragProxy (I think that's the correct term) and also resize it so it 
isn't the thumbnail size shown in the TileList.  I don't want the 
label to be part of the dragged item (it should just disappear).

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If I need to provide more 
code to make this question more clear, please let me know.

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Extending classes (within classes) best/fastest approach to finding what you need (in FlexBuilder)

[David Kramer]

I have a simple desire today and figured I'd be able to get a nice quick
answer. During an Alert I want to override (which may be mixed
terminology I understand) the "fade" effect on the parent "window" during
an Alert.show.

I'm using Flex Builder 3, not a surprise, and I'm thinking there's
probably a way, while debug mode, to find the line that triggers that
effect stepwise, thus finding the class as well no?

I'd love the solution to what I'm doing, yes (and bring it on sure), but
I'd like to know the best way to find things in the future. (If I was
clear...hopefully)

Thanks to all in advance.

[flexcoders] Preventing Item Renderers from Inheriting Styles from Parent List Component

[Thomas, Erik]

Hi all:
 
I have a custom component derived from VBox with a specific styleName.
When used in a Repeater, or stand-alone, the styles are perfect.
 
However, when I use the custom component in a List by setting the
itemRenderer property of the List component, the fonts are all wrong and
the text in Button labels are getting truncated.
 
During debugging, I found the Flex 3 List component causes item
renderers to inherit styles! It actually sets the styleName to the
instance variable of the List component!
 
// in mx.controls.List.as:
override public function createItemRenderer...

{

  ...

  var renderer:IListItemRenderer;

  ...

  renderer = factory.newInstance();

  renderer.styleName = this;  

  ...

  return renderer;

}

 

We have a CSS Type selector for List and if I comment it out of the css
file, the problem goes away, but we have lots of other List instances in
our code base and I don't want to change them all to use CSS Class
selectors in order to work around this issue.

 

I've overridden the styleName setter in the renderer and explicitly set
it to my own style class selector and it doesn't work. My buttons in the
renderer even specifically set a styleName, and I'm able to override the
font issue in a brute force way, but the text continues to get
truncated, as though there is some measurement that is wrong, and I have
no idea which style to override to fix the truncation.

 

Q. Is there a simple way to prevent my item renderer from inheriting any
styles from the parent List component?

 

Thanks!

 

Erik

[flexcoders] Re: advanced datagrid error weirdness

[Johannes Nel]

ok to follow up.
in the initListData function it is the first line after the first call to
getStyle (after the call to getDisplayDisclosureIcon).

the offending line(s) was in my css, added by somebody else in ignorance. :(
   folderOpenIcon: null;
disclosureOpenIcon: null;

anyway, obviously getStyle returned a null bla bla. less black box debugging
would have made this much easier :(




and commenting it out solved the problem. will report later

[flexcoders] advanced datagrid error weirdness

[Johannes Nel]

hey,
actually hoping someone from the adg team can tell me what on a certain line
would be giving an error.

I use sdk 3.0

so i have an adg which renderers another adg. detail is not really that
important. i have a mock data set in 2 different projects (1 being the main
app i am working on and the other being an adg sample to try and replicate
my error).

the sample app uses the same IFactory, ADGRenderer, columns, hierachial data
descriptor (and of course the mock data set).

 the error i get is
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "null" to
Class.
at
mx.controls::AdvancedDataGrid/initListData()[C:\Work\flex\dmv_automation\projects\datavisualisation\src\mx\controls\AdvancedDataGrid.as:5476]

I am specifically interested in what is on that one line, since my sample
app works perfectly and my main app does not. I realise that this means its
somehting in my own code (the difference between the two apps is complexity
of the application structure.)

my sample app consists of

view
  - presmodel
  - my adg component

where my presentation model exposes via bindings my columns, data provider
and renderer

in contrast to this my main app is

view
 -presModel
-component
   -presModel
   -my adg component.

i think this means that some binding is not firing all the way through my
chains, but which one (i cannot figure this since i cannot debug the adg :(
)

anyway, whats on that line, and what variable is null.

(as a side note, i have overridden this function (and several in that chain
to inspect them and I do not see arguments being passed as null, so I assume
its some type of class variable or a property on one of the objects which is
null)

thanks
Johan

[flexcoders] File upload with pause/resume in Flex?

[bjorn]

Suggestions on how to implement this? My first thought is to split a file
into chunks of FileReferences and then send these chunks individually,
making a note of which chunks of a file that have been transferred and which
are waiting. That way I can pause the application and continue later.
.. but maybe there is an easier solution? :-)

RE: [flexcoders] Does ASDoc process metadata tags?

[Gregor Kiddie]

I believe this is because the ASDoc compiler takes less passes at the
code base than the regular compiler does.

One of the missing passes is the one that processes [Bindable] tags and
adds the Event dispatching code.

 

I'd be wary of doing it the way you described since out in house binding
guru reported a bug that occurs under those circumstances.

Make it explicit and you have no problems.

 

Gk.

Subject: [flexcoders] Does ASDoc process metadata tags?

 

I have classes that are marked with [Managed] and [Bindable] tags.
Even though these objects do not extend eventDispatcher I can call
dispatchedEvent, addEventListener, and removeEventListener on them. I
assume this is because the compiler is wrapping the dispatch code
around the object when it sees the metadata tag.

This works fine in Flex Builder but when running ASDoc it serves up
these calls as errors. Is there a flag I need to set for ASDoc to
process the tags when compiling the objects?
