[flexcoders] Re: filter arraycollection with checkbox acting wired
i have tried every advise provide so far and still doesn't work. this is the senario, in my database i have a column(Field Name) for pizza with Data Type YES/NO. i display everything in a flex app through a arraycollection and want to filter that data. i use a checkbox to filter data if there is pizza or not. when the pizza checkbox is checked i want to show only entries with pizza. hope that details what i wanna do.
[flexcoders] Socket communications in Flex
I am trying to understand how socket communications work in flex. This code will connect to a port 8080 on a local computer: var xmlsock:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket(); xmlsock.connect(127.0.0.1, 8080); But what I dont understand is what would be sending data to that port? Thanks
Re: [flexcoders] Socket communications in Flex
Well...nothing would, normally. You'd have to set up a server to talk to you on that socket, develop a protocol for conversing over the socket, etc. An XML socket is just a pipe to communicate over. Unlike normal http requests which encapsulate the http conversation so you don't see it, a raw XML socket requires you to define what messages are going to be sent by whom and what those messages mean. Does that help, or have I misunderstood your question? Guy On 14/02/2009, at 10:50 PM, markgoldin_2000 wrote: I am trying to understand how socket communications work in flex.

[flexcoders] Re: Alex Harui DataGrid and DTO question
Even if it would be possible, wouldn't it break the model/view seperation? You are much more restricted to the data then you are using the common way to display data. - What about formating the displayed data. This would be needed to be done by the DTO. - Other orders... without columns not possible. - displaying complex content... renderer needed and this is something the DTO shouldn't care about either. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Cato Paus ca...@... wrote: Hi Alex is there somway to force the datagird to use the DTO getters and setters insted of columns ? ex: mx:DataGrid FileDTO /FileDTO /mx:DataGrid

Re: [flexcoders] AIR Application is not Appearing
I've seen this occur if there is some sort of startup error. ( No global exception handler, eh? ). For example, if your Air app is looking for a config file using static inatialiser on startup and can't find it, it could just hang there. Check the flashlog for errors.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: [Req] What do you (love|hate|wish for) about (mx.*|Cairngorm|PureMVC|Mate|Prana|BlazeDS)?
Hi Josh I'm also pleased with Mate. I like how they've gone to great lengths to allow views to be framework-agnostic. The dependency-injection that sets up bindings rather than purely injecting values is nifty too. This makes MVP or model adaptors simpler. One downside is a loss of type safety in the event map, but they have good debugging output in the console. Darron Schall just contributed a DelegateInvoker (in the recently released 0.86b) which can be used with methods returning AsyncToken, so I can still have a distinct service layer if I wish. As for the rest, it's usually singletonitis or boilerplateitis that keeps me away.

Re: [flexcoders] AIR Application is not Appearing
Please be aware of a very simple issue that I don't believe is well documented... When you go through an upgrade of an existing project from SDK 3.1 to 3.2 where Air is involved, the compiler links the appropriate Air objects based on what is contained in the app.xml file (YOUR APPLICATION NAME-app.xml) in the project home directory. You will find either (the compiler usually crabs about this if you rely on objects not in the chosen library though) application xmlns=http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.1; or application xmlns=http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5; Make sure this is set correctly for your target environment.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Alex Harui DataGrid and DTO question
I'm confused. The DataGrid uses the dataField in the DataGridColumn to determine which property in the DTO/VO it is going to get. If you don't specify any DataGridColumn, the DTO's properties are introspected and used, but you don't get to control the order and usually the property name is not really what you want to display in the header (firstName instead of First Name).

[flexcoders] How to stop Flex from compiling my Java source files
I'm using Flex 3.0.2 along with Tomcat 5.0. I code my Java using Eclipse 3.1, and I was having problems which I later discovered was being caused because Flex Builder was compiling my Java source files. I have my Flex source files in C:\Tomcat5\webapps\FlexApp\src, and my Java source files are in C:\Tomcat5\webapps\FlexApp\WEB-INF\src. When I build my Flex application, it tries to recompile the Java source files. Is there a way I can tell Flex Builder to leave my Java source files alone? It's causing me servlet errors. Thanks.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Socket communications in Flex
As Tracy said, yes. A socket is just a network connection. Your flex XMLSocket doesn't know or care what language the program listening on the other was written in. A socket connection is like a call connected between two telephones - if no-one at either end talks or neither end understands the other nothing much will happen. It's up to you to make conversation by defining how you will pass messages back and forth and how you will process them at either end.
