RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex server language

[Johan Öbrink]

They are all popular. I think the .Net platform is growing while Java is 
diminishing but I may be misinformed and that may be temporary. I personally 
prefer the .Net platform and C#. You seem to know PHP so that may be the 
fastest way for you to leverage your knowledge.

 

No matter what server side platform / language you choose, I advise you to look 
into AMF as a communication protocol. There are several gateways for each of 
the languages (Like FluorineFX for .Net, Zend AMF for PHP etc). In this area, 
Java is possibly the most interesting language since it offers you a way into 
Red5 and BlazeDS.

 

Kind regards,

That's what I had to do, create my Java project in Eclipse separately 
from my Flex app, then just copied the java class files over after 
each time I compiled.

I did not have this problem with Flex 1.5 and Flex 2.0. Amazing how I 
end up facing a basic problem like this with Flex 3.0 with no quick 
solution within Flex Builder.

Again, this comes to preference, but for me I like PHP due to the fact  
Ito is available on a huge number of the web hosts out there, and it  
can be run on Linux, win or osx with minimal fuss. Easy to setup a dev  
machine without vendor lockin.

If you're looking for the url in the browser address bar then look at
IBrowserManager:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/managers/IBrowserManager.html

URL property is: 'The current URL as it appears in the browser address

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Apps on Flash 10 Crashes Browser

[Don Kerr]

Glad to know I'm not alone.

Couple follow on questions:

What is the difference between Flash 9 and Flash 10 with respect to memory?  
I never had memory issues with these Flex apps when running Flash 9. So, my 
users have o 
downgrade to 9 to stay live.  Not progress.

Is this issue unique to Flex apps or does it occur with any Flash-based app?  
Just curious.

Do you have to be running Flash 10 debug with Flex Builder 3 in order for the 
compiled 
swf to not cause memory problems when the client loads the swf in Flash 10?  in 
other 
words, do we have to make any changes to our SDK/IDE for Flex 3 to support 
Flash 10 
clients?  So far, for years, I not had to. But, maybe something is different 
with Flash 10.

Craziness.  Lesson Learned is to test all Flex apps when new betas come out for 
new 
versions of Flash Player.  See if they blow up and provide bug reports to 
adobe.  But, you'd 
think you shouldn't have to do it and they would be upward compatible?

I just want to solve the crash problem my users are reporting.  It is 
frustrating.  My hope is 
adobe would chime in here and at least explain what is going on and that they 
are 
working it.  I don't know what else to try other than downgrading users to 
Flash 9.

Hope we see progress on this asap.

Don

Yes, you can reposition the popup (move (x,y)), by capturing the

[flexcoders] Re: ToolTip stay until closed

[flexaustin]

Thx Alex.

I thought about that , but I need it look and function like Google
Maps when you click a marker (like its part of the app). If I use the
popupmanager can I have the popup follow a sprite on the stage?

My sprites are on layer that you can drag around (similar to google
maps) so if the user drags the background sprite all sprites on its
displaylist will move and the popup/tooltip need to move with it. 

My app is very cpu/memory intensive so what I am using as of right now
is a permanent custom canvas using the new FXG to draw a popup looking
box with a pointer (like google maps) then when I want to show it over
the node I call 'move' and move it into position.  I need to keep all
my 500+ Sprites lite (they just contain a bitmap). So in keeping it
lite I did one canvas in  that I enable/disable/alpha0?1
when it needs to be displayed.  I am only allowing one popup in my app
to keep cpu/memory use low and I short on screen realestate.  

Any help is appreciated!

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Apps on Flash 10 Crashes Browser

I do know for a fact that player 10 crashes when it runs out of memory. In
player 9 you get errors when you attempt to do something and it can't get
enough memory. I would like to know if this is going to be fixed soon also.

[flexcoders] Re: event passing when source/destination are on different parent bubbling chains?

[Mic]

Hi Ryan, we are running Cairngorm with UM extensions. Theoretically I
need to dispatch a UM event with callback where that callback is to a
component other than the dispatching component. And because source and
destination are "so far apart" conventional bubbling is not an option.
Scenario: Because site visitors can be visitors or clients, the login
component is just one child of several of a parent component. When a
site visitor attempts to log on, Cairngorm/UM handles event
propagation and handling, including saving server results in
modelLocator VO etc. But if the login is successful, other components
need to react - their functions must be called. One such component is
a child of a child that is a peer of the login component. Even if I
could grab a reference to the destination component function, and send
it with the UM event from the source component, this feels like ugly
hardcoding. Waving a magic wand I would be able to dispatch an event
from anywhere and listen for it anywhere, without the limitation of
only being able to bubble up the parent chain. This seems totally
logical to me as obviously it is illogical to have to design one's gui
architecture based on who needs to talk to who. Thanks for listening :-)

[flexcoders] Flex Apps on Flash 10 Crashes Browser

[Don Kerr]

Still no resolution on Flash Player 10 bugs that crash IE7, IE8, firefox.  It 
is a memory error.

All my Flex 3 apps work fine with Flash Player 9, but crash the browser when 
the user 
upgrades to Flash 10.

There are many bugs reported on this in adobe's bug tracker, but I do not see 
any status on a 
bug fix that indicates anything is being done to fix it.

Does anyone else have problems with their Flex 3 apps when the user accesses 
them via 
Flash Player 10?

Is anyone aware of any Flex 3 code that doesn't work in Flash 10 that might be 
causing the 
crashes?

Any updates on any pending patches/hot fixes from Adobe?

Sounds like you're describing the controller's function in MVC
architecture. Usually an event is triggered by some sort of user
interaction in hopes of changing the state of the application in some
way.  If you store the state in some sort of centralized model
somewhere, the controller can react to user events, update the model's
state properties accordingly, and let any part of the view that is bound
to the model update itself on property change. Is that the setup you are
running right now? Are you passing data with this event that other
components need?

 

HTH,

Is it possible to make a tooltip stay on until its closed? Maybe put

I don't see any properties that allow it to remain, guessing I will

[flexcoders] Reading an UTF-8 document

[Andrew]

Please forgive me if the is a post about this already but i can't seem
to find it.

I am creating an AIR app to convert characters into their HTML entity,
hex and dec value and I have just come across an issue.  I am reading
in xml files which contain the data, these files are saved in a UTF-8
format.

When I open it using a Filestream it stops after the first 3
characters "ÿþ<".  I know that these characters are the start of a
unicode document, but I can't figure out why it is stopping reading
the file there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: Components needed

[brucewhealton]

Yes, I found the link.  Is that good enough for us to assume it is
open-source?  The code itself does suggest that it is open-source, and
that we can use it as is, etc.  

It was developed with Flex 2.  Can I use something that was created in
Flex 2, inside Flex 3?  I did get some warnings about deprecated tags
and it selected a change to the name for Flex3, which seemed to work
fine.  As a rule, will it be possible to use Flex 2 apps and edit them
in Flex 3?
Thanks,
Bruce

Thanks all for the suggestions!

"Will using the sortOptions property on a DataGridColumn do what you
want?"

Hmm. I don't think that is supported in Flex 3
(http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/dataGridClasses/DataGridColumn.html),
although that would have been nice.

Both of the other solutions looks pretty promising. I will probably do

fontSize is a style, not a property. To set fontSize, use
myComponent.setStyle("fontSize", 40);

Easiest way to work out what's what is to look at the flex docs.

RE: [flexcoders] Help with Timer issue

[Tracy Spratt]

You are adding an event listener every time yu click the button.  I
don't know that this is the problem but it makes me suspicious.  Either
remove the event listener in the success condition, or add it one time
in an init function. See if that chnges the behavior.

 

Other than that, simplify the setup to the minimum and see if the issue
continues.

Subject: [flexcoders] Help with Timer issue

 

Hello all, 

I'm a Flex newbie. I'm working on an application where an end user
clicks a button, and when the button is clicked a DB is queried
repeatedly until a particular result is returned. When the result is
returned the end user gets a confirmation message to tell them that
they were successful.

So the code goes like this:

private var dBTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000);

private function onButtonClick(): void{
dBTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timeTick);
dBTimer.start();
}

public function timeTick(evt:TimerEvent):void {
checkStatus(callBackFunction, id); 
}

private function callBackFunction():void 
{
if( status == 'SUCCESS' )
{ 
// cancel the timer
dBTimer.stop(); 
dBTimer.reset();
Alert.show("Succcess string","Info","OK",null,null,INFO_ICON);
}else{
//do nothing and the checkStatus 
//will be called again at next TimerEvent
} 
}

So the first time the end user clicks on the button, everything works
okay. The DB is queried and when SUCCESS is returned the dBTimer is
stopped and reset. The end user gets the Success Alert dialog box and
everything is okay.

The second time the end user clicks the button, everything happens the
same as before, only the dbTimer, despite being stopped doesn't stop
working. checkStatus is called over and over again in an infinite loop
because the dbTimer never stops.

Can anyone suggest anything please ? I am really puzzled by this one.

Best Regards, 
Trish.

[flexcoders] Re: Desperate Help! crossdomain.xml

[cjcuccaro]

We ran into a similar situation with having the crossdomain.xml policy
file in a subdirectory of a site.

The phase 3 change that went into affect with FP10.02 requires the root
directory of the site to have a meta policy file (policy file for policy
files) that allows for the use of policy files in subdirectories. If it
is missing then the site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies
defaults to "master only", causing all other policy files to fail
security check.

Therefore, the crossdomain.xml meta policy file placed in the root
directory will have the following:


http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd
 ">






Then the subdirectory policy files will look something like the
following:


  http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd
 ">
  





  

The important part is having the meta policy file in the root directory.

Hope this helps,
CJ

[flexcoders] design question: editing / saving complex value objects

[Maciek Sakrejda]

Suppose I have a class Calendar that mirrors a server-side class (we're
not really working with Calendars, but I think this is a reasonably good
and simple analogy):

class Calendar {
public var appointments:ArrayCollection;
/* other stuff */
}

Then I want users to be able to edit and save the Calendar: I have a
CalendarEditor. Editing a Calendar is moderately complicated (e.g.,
adding, removing, or editing Appointments), so I want explicit
save/cancel steps.

When editing something really simple, this is not really a problem--when
the user saves, I propagate the view state to the object; when she hits
cancel, I don't do anything.

However, the Calendar determines what combination of Appointments is
valid (they can't overlap), and the Calendar is the dataProvider of the
CalendarEditor, so I can't fully validate a combination of Appointments
without adding them to the Calendar. This means I actually need to add
the appointments to the Calendar before it is saved so that they can be
(a) validated in combination and (b) used to update the view while the
edit is in progress. This makes save/cancel steps trickier: do I

(1) Clone the Calendar (and therefore have it provide a clone() method)
when assigned in the dataProvider, modify the clone, and assign the
dataProvider reference when the user hits save.
(2) Clone the Calendar as above, but have the Editor modify the
original, and restore the clone in case the user cancels.
(3) Something more clever?

The problem with (1) is that cloning may be somewhat complicated, and it
"feels" ugly to have the Editor update the dataProvider reference
(instead of modifying the actual object that was set as the data
provider). (2) hits the same issue. Perhaps the solution is to maintain
a private clone, and copy back the state on save? Or is the right answer
here that the model should not expect that the editor will update the
object it set as the dataProvider, but should instead expect an update
through a mechanism like a Mate map?

Any thoughts? (Please keep in mind that my experience with MVC
frameworks is unfortunately minimal, though I'm looking into Mate right
now).

Thanks,
Maciek

[flexcoders] Help with Timer issue

[trishhartnett]

Hello all, 

I'm a Flex newbie. I'm working on an application where an end user
clicks a button, and when the button is clicked a DB is queried
repeatedly until a particular result is returned. When the result is
returned the end user gets a confirmation message to tell them that
they were successful.

So the code goes like this:

private var dBTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000);

private function onButtonClick(): void{
  dBTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timeTick);
  dBTimer.start();
}

public function timeTick(evt:TimerEvent):void {
   checkStatus(callBackFunction, id);
}

 private function callBackFunction():void 
 {
 if( status == 'SUCCESS' )
 {  
   // cancel the timer
   dBTimer.stop();  
   dBTimer.reset();
Alert.show("Succcess string","Info","OK",null,null,INFO_ICON);
  }else{
  //do nothing and the checkStatus 
  //will be called again  at next TimerEvent
   } 
}

So the first time the end user clicks on the button, everything works
okay. The DB is queried and when SUCCESS is returned the dBTimer is
stopped and reset. The end user gets the Success Alert dialog box and
everything is okay.

The second time the end user clicks the button, everything happens the
same as before, only the dbTimer, despite being stopped doesn't stop
working. checkStatus is called over and over again in an infinite loop
because the dbTimer never stops.

Can anyone suggest anything please ? I am really puzzled by this one.

Best Regards, 
Trish.

If possible, you could look into Google Analytics to do the tracking for

Worth a look, but might not meet your requirements.

Application.application.url will give you the url of the *swf file*, not
the url of the document within which the app is embedded. For that, the
only way is to use Javascript and ExternalInterface. I think the syntax
is:

var docURL = ExternalInterface.call("location.href");

or it might be "document.location.href" - not sure which one is right.

What are the input parameters of the operation “SearchParams”?  What data 
types?  Does it have a single argument of type array that that contains an 
array  of “searchcriteria” objects, which have the three search specification 
values? 
 
The request object is a dynamic “Object”, not xml. build it something like this:
Var oRequest:Object = new Object();
oRequest.criteriali st = buildSearchCriteria Array()
webService.SearchPa rams.request = oRequest;
 
Be sure to remove the declarative mx:request tag.

Hi All,

I am not sure how to go about this and couldn't find a sample 
anywhereI am trying to consume a webservice that contains dynamic 
request data. Meaning that my request will change depending on what 
the user has entered... I've always used services that had the same 
request params, but in this case they change...

I tried building out in AS my request like this:

webService.SearchPa rams.request 
= "  string< /title> string string";

And I have been staring at the request tag not knowing how to make 
it "loop"







string< /title>
string< /item>
string< /criteria>




 
 

I hope it's clear what I am trying to accomplish and that someone can

crossdomain.xml file that worked fine until FP10. It works fine when
visiting from that URL since it on the same server, however, we also
have this domain (http://www.victorsvaliant.org/af/) pointing to it also
and I get a security error when the video is played. How can I modifiy
my crossdomain.xml file to allow for both? Here is my current. I need to
have this done today since the new URL went public. Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: parse SOAP response for values

[Tracy Spratt]

Unless your xml is very simple, you should not guess at the e4x
expession, but rather work your way to the node you want by using
temporary variables and tracing the results as you go.

 

To do this you must use a resultHandler, and do not use lastResult.
Start with something like:

private function handleResult(event:ResultEvent):void

var xmlResult:XML = XML(event.result)

trace(xmlResult.toXMLString());  //CRITICAL step, verify your structure

 

Then get the next node in the path you want, trace again, etc.

Tracy :-)

Thought about the namespace issue - some examples where talking about
the SOAP Header being removed automatically, I was'nt seeing that. The
reult format is E4X. However I could not get into the structure using
childNode etc.

So I would start by defining the namespace it.

http://ruleburst.com/ruleserver/9.1/rulebase/types
 

in AS 

public var typ:Namespace =
new
Namespace("http://ruleburst.com/ruleserver/9.1/rulebase/types
 ");

Next step I'm not sure about the path to the attribute.

WS.Assess.lastResult.typ::session-data.global.global_1.abc570.

WS.Assess.lastResult.typ::assess-response.session-data.list-entity.entit
y.abc570

Will test in the morning when back at desk. Rushed out so fast I left
my USB! doh

Cheers

Hello danvega!
Try to use TextArea Component instead of Text component...

Re: [flexcoders] HTML Text Scrollbars not showing up

[Anand Jha]

Hello!
Instead of using Text component, use TextArea component. May be, you have to 
define the width and height of the text area.

[flexcoders] Component needed: A Combobox that has selectable items with checkboxes

[huu...@ymail.com]

I was about to begin creating a Combobox component that would allow
the user to select multiple items via checkboxes next to each item. 
However, I didn't want to reinvent the wheel in case someone else had
already dreamed this up.

With that being said, has anyone seen this type of component?  If so,
can you provide a download link?

Hi Go to Flex Builder -> windows -> install / update... -> here you
can select " Europa Discovery site " ->  

and press " Finish " ( select automatic choose mirrors.. not
compulasry but recommended )

On next screen Search Results an Europa Discovery Site...
Expand and select your required stuffs only.

Now, the twist ...  system may show you some red(erroneous message )
don't worry just finish selection of  your required stuffs(options)
and then click on " Select Required " button on right side.

then Next... and Finish...

Woi... its done. :)

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Can I use mouseOver() an image in ActionScript

[Jeffry Houser]

Generically, I'd start by seeing if I could write an event handler on 
the DataGrid that drills down the itemRenderer and executes a method.  
Pass in the X, Y coordinates so you can figure out which image has the 
roll-over.

Hi,
this is rather complicated.
I have a DataGrid, in one of its column I call an ItemRenderer that 
creates a list of colored images side by side.
All I need is to catch the event when I hover over every inner cell 
image (remember, in a cell I have few images, each one should fire 
different event).

How do I trigger a function in my renderer?

My ActionScript renderer:
package
{

import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.containers.HBox;
import mx.controls.Image;
import mx.controls.Alert;

	public class imageRenderer extends HBox 
	{ 			

public function imageRenderer():void{
super();
this.setStyle("paddingBottom",1);
this.setStyle("paddingTop",1);
this.setStyle("horizontalGap",1);

}
			 
// Here I create the colored images I place in HBox in the cell


 override public function set data(value:Object):void {

   if (value != null)
{
removeAllChildren();
for (var i:int = 0; i < value.Actual.length; i++){
		  var img:Image = new Image();  
		  img.source = value.Actual[i].image;  
		  img.id = "image - " +i;
		  img.height = 20;  
	//	  img.toolTip=value.Actual[i].width;

  img.percentWidth=value.Actual[i].width;   
  img.maintainAspectRatio=false;
  addChild(img);
		} 
	  }

}   
}
}

I dont want to use flex tooltip, I need to place my own and for 

that 
  

I need an event for each of the images seperatly.

Thanks for the help

I'd

 But, this is just my first guess.

String request =

if (request.substring(1, 20).compareTo(

}
} catch (Exception e) {

} catch (Exception e) {

Here, I'm sending it directly after the request then closing the

immediately afterward and send the original request.

Thoughts?

I've tried passing an array of objects, I've simplified my test case, below is 
the code:

can anyone please help me figure out what I am doing wrong?

thanks in advance


 


CODE
 
varsearch1:Searchcriteria = newSearchcriteria();varsearch2:Searchcriteria = 
newSearchcriteria();var
search1.criteria1 = 
search1.criteria2 = 
search1.criteria3 = 
search1.criteria4 = 
search2.criteria1 = 
search2.criteria2 = 
search2.criteria3 = 
search2.criteria4 = 
search3.criteria1 = 
search3.criteria2 = 
search3.criteria3 = 
search3.criteria4 = 
 search3:Searchcriteria = 
newSearchcriteria();"test";"test";"test";"test";"test";"test";"test";"test";"test";"test";"test";"test";
 
varcriterialist:Array = 
[search1,search2,search3,search4,search5];"param1","param2","param3",criterialist,"param5");
ws.GetAdvancedSearchListDept(
ws.GetAdvancedSearchListDept.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, 
resultSearchHandler) ;

//search1, 2 3 4 5 are of type searchCriteria:

publicclassSearchcriteriaprivatevarcriteria1:String;privatevarcriteria2:String;privatevarcriteria3:String;publicfunctionSearchcriteria()publicfunctiongetCriteria1()
 : String { returnthis.criteria1; }publicfunctionsetCriteria1(criteria1 : 
String) : void{ this.criteria1 = criteria1; } publicfunctiongetCriteria2() : 
String { returnthis.criteria2; }publicfunctionsetCriteria2(criteria2: String) : 
void{ this.criteria2 = criteria2; } publicfunctiongetCriteria3() : String { 
returnthis.criteria3; }publicfunctionsetCriteria3(criteria3 : String) : void{ 
this.criteria3 = criteria3; }
{
{
}}


When I look at what is being sent to the service I see this for the 
criterialist param, they are not expanded...
All other params are passed ok as they are simple strings...
 
SENT SOAP snippet
tns:criterialist

What are the input parameters of the operation “SearchParams”?  What data 
types?  Does it have a single argument of type array that that contains an 
array  of “searchcriteria” objects, which have the three search specification 
values? 
 
The request object is a dynamic “Object”, not xml. build it something like this:
Var oRequest:Object = new Object();
oRequest.criteriali st = buildSearchCriteria Array()
webService.SearchPa rams.request = oRequest;
 
Be sure to remove the declarative mx:request tag.

Subject: [flexcoders] Webservice with Dynamic request?
 
Hi All,

I am not sure how to go about this and couldn't find a sample 
anywhere...I am trying to consume a webservice that contains dynamic 
request data. Meaning that my request will change depending on what 
the user has entered... I've always used services that had the same 
request params, but in this case they change...

I tried building out in AS my request like this:

webService.SearchPa rams.request 
= "  string< /title> string string";

And I have been staring at the request tag not knowing how to make 
it "loop"







string< /title>
string< /item>
string< /criteria>




 
 

I hope it's clear what I am trying to accomplish and that someone can 
point me in the correct direction...

thank-you!

[flexcoders] Flex Remote object call - in vmware

[Netaman]

Has anyone ran into the problem of Flex remote object call working for 
about 10 minutes and then failing on all the channels. 

The setup is a IIS 6.0 server front-end facing the Internet and the 
private network on a virtual host (vmware), and Cold Fusion 8 back-end, 
with Flex 3 application making remote calls through CF to SQL server 
2005. All servers are in a vmware environment.

Re: [flexcoders] Module Issue....

I am a newbie and not sure what type of listeners you mean... 

The thing that stands out the most for me is the Module swf file is never

Have any ideas as to why the module is not compiled?

Re: [flexcoders] Unicode Normalization in flex

I don¹t know anything about the technologies you were referring to, but I

[flexcoders] Re: Dynamically changing Vslider or Hslider?

[flexaustin]

I guess maybe I should use Programaticaly rather than dynamically. 
The entire issue lies in the change event. If I rely on it then I end
up in a continous loop or rather just a loop, meaning if I change the
Vscale via my component by scaling it, I have to change the
Vslider.value, which ends up throwing the "change" event, which tells
my component to update. So each side is stepping on the toes of each
other overwriting the changes when scaling on component side nothing
happens when I try to scale as Vslider keeps setting the value back.

My work around for now is to not update the slider until the component
zoom is done.  Had to give up realtime update to the Vslider. Vslider
is updated now only on mouseup not on mousemove.

[flexcoders] Re: Time stamping a user Logout

[grg_blls]

Hi Laurent.
Thank you for a quick reply. I had this (second) timeout option in 
mind and it's too static in the scope of my application. Then the 
ping procedure might be an idea. 
But what I have really in mind is a more dynamic asynchronous 
procedure. One like when the web connection is broken for any reason. 
I will have to delve more into this...

Thank you

Re: [flexcoders] UNDO function

[Fotis Chatzinikos]

How do you draw on the canvas?

What you should do is to add draw commands on a list, the loop this list and
draw on the canvas.

When a user presses undo, you remove the last command from the list and
redraw

[flexcoders] Re: Can I use mouseOver() an image in ActionScript

[yossi.baram]

Hi,
this is rather complicated.
I have a DataGrid, in one of its column I call an ItemRenderer that 
creates a list of colored images side by side.
All I need is to catch the event when I hover over every inner cell 
image (remember, in a cell I have few images, each one should fire 
different event).
How do I trigger a function in my renderer?

My ActionScript renderer:
package
{

import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.containers.HBox;
import mx.controls.Image;
import mx.controls.Alert;

public class imageRenderer extends HBox 
{   
public function imageRenderer():void{
super();
this.setStyle("paddingBottom",1);
this.setStyle("paddingTop",1);
this.setStyle("horizontalGap",1);

}
 
// Here I create the colored images I place in HBox in the cell

 override public function set data(value:Object):void {

   if (value != null)
{
removeAllChildren();
for (var i:int = 0; i < value.Actual.length; i++){
  var img:Image = new Image();  
  img.source = value.Actual[i].image;  
  img.id = "image - " +i;
  img.height = 20;  
//img.toolTip=value.Actual[i].width;
  img.percentWidth=value.Actual[i].width;   
  img.maintainAspectRatio=false;
  addChild(img);
} 
  }
}   
}
}

I dont want to use flex tooltip, I need to place my own and for that 
I need an event for each of the images seperatly.

Thanks for the help

Re: [flexcoders] Can I use mouseOver() an image in ActionScript

[Jeffry Houser]

 What problems did you have trying to accomplish this? 

 Without testing anything, I would expect the DataGrid to 'capture' the 
mouseOver event as opposed to the itemRenderer component.  So, I'd 
expect you'd need some way to trigger a function in the renderer based 
on the DataGrid mouseOver . 

 But, this is just my first guess.

Re: [flexcoders] Time stamping a user Logout

[Laurent Cozic]

You could make the app ping the server every 5 minutes. Then if the server 
doesn't receive the ping, assume that the user closed the browser and log him 
out.

Another simpler solution would be to put a timeout on the session.

Hi all,



I have concluded a sample Flex application where a user logs in (or 

registers) in the application. 



I use the Tomcat servlet container plus BlazeDS RPC component and 

Hibernate persistence to connect to MySQL database. 



A new user first registers by filling the Registration form. The 

database is updated for First Creation Timestamp, along with user's 

UserName and Password. 



A returning user fills a (similar) Login form. The database is 

updated for Login Timestamp. When the user does a normal Logout, the 

database is updated with Logout Timestamp. On User's Logout the 

User_Loged session time is summed in UserTotalLoged time.



My problem is that I need dispatch/listen (?) an event in an abrupt 

case, like the user instead of doing a normal logout simply closes 

the browser, or the client/server connection is just lost. Then I 

have to update the database that the user status is Logout. 



I hope this description is clear enough for some indications/ help.



Thank you all

[flexcoders] Re: ClassCastException on updateItem

[manuel347]

Hi,

I imagine that at this time you solved your problem, but i found your
post.

I had the same problem with a simple app.

The problem is that the app doesn't know your VO (Value Object) and
for that reason flash player marks "ClassCastException"; for solving
you have to declare a var with your VO at your flex app:


   private var item:Item;


That's all.

[flexcoders] No codecompletion available

[secrit.service]

Hi all,

I'm new to Flex, so I will probably ask some simple questions. 
However to me they look huge.
One of the situations I encounter now is following :

filename = Application.mxml
---






filename = CustomComponent.mxml
---






filename = Application.as
-
Because my Custom Component is based on a Text, I want to set the 
fontsize. Therefore I want to write a line of code like this :

myComponent.fontSize = 40;

But when I write myCo and press Ctrl+Space it does not recognize my 
component. When I write the scriptcode inside the mxml-file, there is 
no problem.


filename = CustomComponent.as
-
When I want to set a property of the component, which is accessible 
via mxml, it wont work.

When I write this.fontSize = 40;

It will even not recognize the property fontSize.


Can anyone give me an explanation for this behavior?

Thanks in advance

[flexcoders] How to change AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer backgroundColor and textColor props

[Sean]

Using the following code, could somebody explain to me why the cells
in the regionColumn are not showing with black backgrounds and white
text as is being set in the TestADGIR class?


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute" preinitialize="preInitApp()">


























 


  




package
{
import mx.controls.advancedDataGridClasses.AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer;

public class TestADGIR extends AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer
{
public function TestADGIR()
{
super();
backgroundColor = 0;
textColor = 16777215;
}

}
}

Thanks,
Sean

[flexcoders] Bug? Width of single-character label...

[jasonbriggs99]

If I have two labels:



The assigned width of label2, with two characters, is significantly
less than the width of label1, with only a single character. 

I can work around this behaviour by assigning the text of label1 to be
": " -- i.e. inserting a trailing space.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: problem with services-config.xml in multiple work environments..

[Walter]

I also prefer to configure services
(ChannelSets/Channels/RemoteObjects etc...) at runtime. Typically I do
this by reading in the configuration property values from an XML file
when the application loads. There are a couple of IoC/DI (Inversion of
Control/Dependency Injection) container implementations (SWIZ and
Spring-AS to name a couple) that also make this very easy. However,
you don't need to be that sophisticated; simply getting the property
values from an xml file will accomplish your goal and remove your
dependency to the services-config.xml so can avoid baking in those
settings at compile time.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: is it possible to track visitors / the page an swf is embedded on

[Laurent Cozic]

Application.application.url will give you the url of the *swf file*, not the 
url of the document within which the app is embedded. For that, the only way is 
to use Javascript and ExternalInterface. I think the syntax is:

var docURL = ExternalInterface.call("location.href");

or it might be "document.location.href" - not sure which one is right.

[flexcoders] Re: HTTPRequest and Air too slow?

[florian.salihovic]

I actually used Charles to have a look at the network communication. It seems 
like the 
data is received in the URLLoader (in my tests i use an URLLoader instead of 
the 
HTTPService) about 100 - 120 ms after the data is received. Which is some sort 
of 
overhead which might be caused from the infrastructure overhead from 
AIR-Runtime to 
the actual URLLoader instance.

Any ideas regarding Air and some problems when it comes to network issues?
