[flexcoders] Thumbnail from screen (contents)
Hi all, I'm trying to find a way to construct thumbnails from the screens of my presentation tool. The application I'm working on takes an XML files, constructs screens with text, images and video from it's contents and displays these, much like PowerPoint would. I want to use thumbnails of the various screens to give the user a visual indication of what screen he will be navigating to. So I'm not only working with the current display, but also future and past displays, an actual resized screenshot will not do. I figure I have to create instances of the texts and images, convert these to bitmapdata (or somesuch), add them together, scale the result and voila! I have Googled me senseless but I can't figure it out :-( Can anybody help? Thanks in advance, EdB
[flexcoders] redundancy in custom ItemRenderer
another question about ItemRenderers, using my previous stock example.
i have noticed that my custom item renderer seems to be performing

commitProperties() are called repeatedly.
here's my code:
StockApp.mxml

provider.addItem({stockInfo:new StockInfo()});
// UI
list = new HorizontalList();
list.width = 400;
list.height = 100;
list.dataProvider = provider;
list.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(StockInfoRenderer);
addChild(list);
}

[flexcoders] updating an item renderer
hi list, first post...
i have an architectural question about datatproviders and
itemrenderers that i'll pose with a canonical example.
suppose i have an array of StockInfo objects that is populated by a
3rd party library. each StockInfo object dispatches UPDATE events when
a stock price changes. i want to render the prices in HorizontalList
with a custom renderer.
here's the general application shell:
=
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
applicationComplete=applicationCompleteListener(event)
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.controls.HorizontalList;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.core.ClassFactory;
protected var list:HorizontalList;
protected var stocks:Array;
protected function applicationCompleteListener (e:FlexEvent):void {
// Stock data (hardcoded for the example)
stocks = [new StockInfo()];
// UI
list = new HorizontalList();
list.width = 400;
list.height = 100;
list.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(StockInfoRenderer);
addChild(list);
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
=
i need to wire the stocks array to the list. of course, given that i
already have an array of StockInfo objects, it's tempting to make an
ArrayCollection wrapper that gives direct access to the StockInfo
objects. e.g.,
provider = new ArrayCollection();
provider.addItem({stockInfo:someStockInfoObject});
then the StockInfoRenderer could register for UPDATE events and redraw
when the event occurs. but i'm hesitant about that approach. if i went
that route,
1) within the StockInfoRenderer, where would i register for the UPDATE
event? in commitProperties()?
2) within the StockInfoRenderer, where would i *remove* the UPDATE
listener?
3) given that renderers are reused, are there issues with synching, or
with stranded listeners causing memory build-up?
more generally, what's the right way to wire my list to the stocks
array? it feels like i might be forced to handle UPDATE for each
StockInfo object, and write a 'price' variable into a data provider.
e.g.,
provider.getItemAt(i).price = value;
provider.itemUpdated(provider.getItemAt(i), price);
seems a shame, given that i already have an array of StockInfo
objects. the above two lines presuppose that i'm going to hunt for the
item index every time a stock price changes. : (
another general question, do i even need the itemUpdate() call, or is
that part automated?
thanks for any advice!

[flexcoders] Re: Compressing messages/data: What binary/compression formats are workable in Flex?
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, David Adams dpad...@... wrote: I'm working on a system that transfers data from a back-end to Flex for display and manipulation. In this case, I can control the message format on the server-side. I'm pretty happy sending XML because of how easy it is to work with XML in Flex. On the other hand, XML is sometimes ridiculously inefficient as a message format as it tends to be pretty bloated. I'm imagining a few strategies: * Strip and reduce the XML to use stupidly short element names and no spare white-space to reduce the message size a bit. This is a weak option in a lot of ways but it's easy to do. * Compress the XML and decompress it in Flex. This is an appealing option as I get to work with the XML but don't have such big messages. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get this to work using zlib and ByteArray.uncompress(). I'll also assume that there is some kind of sweet-spot when the cost of compression/decompression outweighs the cost of the larger message. Once I get this working, I could try to figure out when compression is worth engaging and then have the server compress when it (guesses) it will make sense. * Use AMF. Can't. It's not supported on the server and a project constraint is thou shalt not implement binary protocols by hand. * Use a custom binary format, package the data that way on the server, and then write a custom parser in Flex. Can't. See previous point and another project constraint, thou shalt not invent new binary formats. * Use another binary format that Flex does understand. Are there any? Basically, I'm looking for an efficient message transfer format that I don't have to invent or hand-code. Plain text. Long before the invention of XML, developers used csv or csv-like files to power their data-driven apps. You'll have to load the plain text into objects, but hopefully you don't have a constraint against that :o)

[flexcoders] Flex receives generic Object types from Zend AMF
Hi Guys.
I've got a strange problem with VO's in Flex.
I've got my Flex set up correctly and AMF connection to PHP code with
the help of Zend framework.
Here's the problem:
I've been sending VO's so far with no problem. PHP creates a new object
e.g VOUser. Fills the data and returns the object as VOUser.
Flex on the other side gets the response event (ResultEvent) and
event.result type is VOUser.
Then I've created a new VO - VOReport and PHP returns a new VOReport -
I've tested this with Charles http://www.charlesproxy.com/ .
But Flex receives a generic Object instead of VOReport.
VOReport.as code :
[RemoteClass(alias=VOReport)]
[Bindable]
public class VOReport
{
public var name:String;
public var parentId:int;
}
VOReport.php
?php
class VOReport {
public $name;
public $parentId;
}
index.php is ofcorse mapped.
and a simple php function
public function getReports()
{
$a = new VOReport();
$a-name = Report 1;
return $a;
}
I could typecast the object but the function will be designed to return
diffrent object types...
Help is appreciated :)
[flexcoders] Binding property of object in dataProvider

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Sending POST requests to php script??Help
Well, I believe the syntax is correct, at least!
The warnings are telling you something, in a way, which is that unless your
objects properties are bindable flex won't be able to detect changes in them at
runtime.
Hence it won't work if as you might expect you want to specify the request in
mxml like that.
It's just the way flex works, I found it a little hard to get used to at first.
You might have better results if you call an actionscript function to set the
request object instead.

(For example, if you have a 'natural index' that lets you calculate a rows position - then you can grab a row out of a huge file with a couple of reads... but that's not my problem.) -- Variable-length with a length byte: This would add only one byte per variable-length item, so it's about as efficient as I can get. -- Delimited system: Not as efficient as the previous method, but popular so easy to support in many ways. What I'm compariing against are two things: 1) The naive 'stupid unreadable XML' format that lets me keep using XML but reduces the message size a bit. 2) True compression/binary format. The unreadable XML approach reduces message size by making element names shorter and removing whitespace. For example, instead of ResultSet Record FirstNameBob/FirstName /Record /ResultSet ...you get something like this: abcBob/c/b/a This obviously throws away the advantages of XML as 'human readable markup'...an advantage that is irrelevant in my case - I'm just trying to send messages that are produced by one program and read by another program - no humans involved. What I'm really hoping for is real compression - as plain text or XML tend to compress fairly dramatically. Either that, or some other binary format this is not AMF and that is supported natively in Flash. Sorry for the length of my answer...I just suck at writing short messages when I'm sorting through a problem. And, again, thanks for the help.
[flexcoders] static function and getDefinitionByName
Hi. I am using getDefinitionByName from flash.utils to get a class definition / instance from a string: var ClassRef:Class = getDefinitionByName(className) as Class; That works great, I can create an instance if I want. Problem is, I need to call a static function on that ClassRef class, and I'll know the function name only at runtime from XML. Any idea on how to do this?

RE: [flexcoders] redundancy in custom ItemRenderer
Why do you think the renderer's commitProperties is being called more than
once for a single item? Your trace statements do not identify the item.
You understand that there is no direct relationship between the number of
items and the number of renderer instances? The number of instances depends
on the number of visible rows, plus a few for buffering.
And are you just curious? The specific renderer instantiation behavior is
normally not of concern to a developer, but such concern sometimes
indicates misuse.

Subject: [flexcoders] redundancy in custom ItemRenderer
another question about ItemRenderers, using my previous stock example.
i have noticed that my custom item renderer seems to be performing
redundant executions. for a single dataProvider item, i see two
renderer instances created. and for each instance, set data and
commitProperties() are called repeatedly.
here's my code:
StockApp.mxml

protected var provider:ArrayCollection;
protected function applicationCompleteListener (e:FlexEvent):void {
// Provider
provider = new ArrayCollection();
provider.addItem({stockInfo:new StockInfo()});
// UI
list = new HorizontalList();
list.width = 400;
list.height = 100;
list.dataProvider = provider;
list.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(StockInfoRenderer);
addChild(list);
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application

StockInfoRenderer.as
===
package {
import mx.containers.Canvas;
import mx.controls.Button;
public class StockInfoRenderer extends Canvas {
protected var button:Button;

trace(StockInfoRenderer CONSTRUCTOR CALLED.);
}
override protected function createChildren ():void {
trace(StockInfoRenderer CREATE CHILDREN CALLED.);
super.createChildren();
if (button == null) {
button = new Button();
button.width = 100;
}
addChild(button);
}
override protected function commitProperties ():void {
trace(StockInfoRenderer COMMIT PROPERTIES CALLED.);
super.commitProperties();
button.label = data.stockInfo.getPrice();
}
override public function set data (value:Object):void {
trace(StockInfoRenderer SET DATA CALLED.);
super.data = value;
invalidateProperties()
}
}
}
===
OUTPUT:
===
StockInfoRenderer CONSTRUCTOR CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer CREATE CHILDREN CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer SET DATA CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer COMMIT PROPERTIES CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer SET DATA CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer COMMIT PROPERTIES CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer CONSTRUCTOR CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer SET DATA CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer CREATE CHILDREN CALLED.

===
is the preceding redundancy typical, or am i doing something wrong?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Sending POST requests to php script??Help
Yes, building the request object declaratively and binding in the values is
very hard to debug.
Build the request object in AS, so you can inspect the values you are
sending. You also will not need to depend on bindable properties.

Well, I believe the syntax is correct, at least!
The warnings are telling you something, in a way, which is that unless your
objects properties are bindable flex won't be able to detect changes in them
at runtime.
Hence it won't work if as you might expect you want to specify the request
in mxml like that.
It's just the way flex works, I found it a little hard to get used to at
first.
You might have better results if you call an actionscript function to set
the request object instead.

RE: [flexcoders] updating an item renderer
The core concepts are that item renderers need to update their visual UI
elements when the associated item changes, and need to update that item on
user interaction.
You assign a dataProvider(StockInfo) to the List, which results in item
renderers being instantiated. Note, do not use an Array as a dataProvider,
use ArrayCollection.
When the underlying item changes, the framework calls the renderer's set
data method(setter). When any pending changes are done, the framework calls
commitProperties.
You need to use this mechanism because there is no assurance that there will
be an instance of any particular renderer to listen of an event. Renderers
are recycled. Google that before you go any further.

Subject: [flexcoders] updating an item renderer
hi list, first post...
i have an architectural question about datatproviders and
itemrenderers that i'll pose with a canonical example.
suppose i have an array of StockInfo objects that is populated by a
3rd party library. each StockInfo object dispatches UPDATE events when
a stock price changes. i want to render the prices in HorizontalList
with a custom renderer.
here's the general application shell:
=
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe. http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
com/2006/mxml
layout=absolute
applicationComplete=applicationCompleteListener(event)
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.controls.HorizontalList;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.core.ClassFactory;
protected var list:HorizontalList;
protected var stocks:Array;
protected function applicationCompleteListener (e:FlexEvent):void {
// Stock data (hardcoded for the example)
stocks = [new StockInfo()];
// UI
list = new HorizontalList();
list.width = 400;
list.height = 100;
list.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(StockInfoRenderer);
addChild(list);
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
=
i need to wire the stocks array to the list. of course, given that i
already have an array of StockInfo objects, it's tempting to make an
ArrayCollection wrapper that gives direct access to the StockInfo
objects. e.g.,
provider = new ArrayCollection();
provider.addItem({stockInfo:someStockInfoObject});
then the StockInfoRenderer could register for UPDATE events and redraw
when the event occurs. but i'm hesitant about that approach. if i went
that route,
1) within the StockInfoRenderer, where would i register for the UPDATE
event? in commitProperties()?
2) within the StockInfoRenderer, where would i *remove* the UPDATE
listener?
3) given that renderers are reused, are there issues with synching, or
with stranded listeners causing memory build-up?
more generally, what's the right way to wire my list to the stocks
array? it feels like i might be forced to handle UPDATE for each
StockInfo object, and write a 'price' variable into a data provider.
e.g.,
provider.getItemAt(i).price = value;
provider.itemUpdated(provider.getItemAt(i), price);
seems a shame, given that i already have an array of StockInfo
objects. the above two lines presuppose that i'm going to hunt for the
item index every time a stock price changes. : (
another general question, do i even need the itemUpdate() call, or is
that part automated?
thanks for any advice!

When the underlying item changes, the framework calls the renderer's set data method(setter). When any pending changes are done, the framework calls commitProperties. Well, sort of. If a property of an object that's stored in an ArrayCollection changes, the ArrayCollection has no idea, and hence the List will not call setData(). You could potentially set up your itemRenderers to register/unregister for these events in the set data() override for your renderer. But that means your renderer can only ever be used to render this type of object. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I try to keep my renderers barefoot and pregnant if you know what I mean. So my approach would be to have a manager that contains an ArrayCollection of StockInfo objects as one of its public properties. Bind the dataProvider on your HorizontalList to that public property. I'd probably limit that to read-only by just using a getter on it. Make sure your manager component takes care of all of the adding and deleting of StockInfos into the AC, so it can register for your change events on all items that are currently stored there and unregister for them once they're gone. Then when the manager gets the event, calls itemUpdated on whichever SockInfo changed, and the HorizontalList will update normally with no more special effort on your part. HTH; Amy

[flexcoders] SWFLoader content-resizing problem
Hi!
Firstly - sorry for my english, I'm not a native english speaker.
Secondly - sorry for a long post;) I'd like to show the problem clearly
I've got a problem with resizing swf applications loaded with
SWFLoader component. The problem is that it behaves differently when
the content-application is at the same domain (or locally) and at the
foreign domain. Here is the example applications, and some screenshots
showing the behavior:
exported base application:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/lk6ce6
first swf application written in flex:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/j4ooyo
second swf application written in flex:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/bcqxti
The first app, lets call it 'base application' is loading two
applications ('stiff size' with application size set to 640x480px, and
'resizable' with size set to 100%x100%, both with one button filling
all the application area) exported to swf files, with swf loaders;
1.When swf's are loaded locally, or at the same domain:
a) 'resizable' app is resized to SWFLoader component size
b) 'stiff size' app is not resized at all
screenshot:
http://img8.imageshack.us/my.php?image=local.png
2.When swf's are loaded at the foreign domain (with
Security.allowDomain(domain address) at the base application
initialization):
a) 'resizable' app is about twice bigger as it should be! (the biggest
problem)
b) 'stiff size' app is stretched to SWFLoader component size
screenshot:

The behavior that would be best for me is 1a for resizable
applications, and 2b for applications with defined size (eventually 1b

1. Is it possible?

Re: [flexcoders] Binding property of object in dataProvider
If the point of your question is that you are starting with anonymous objects,
then wrapping each item with a mx.utils.ObjectProxy will do what you want by
making each property of the proxied object bindable.
The other alternative is not to use an anonymous object, but to create a
concrete class for the tasks:
class Task {
[Bindable] public var label:String;
}
Ultimately this way is better for several reasons. (Note that as shown the mxml
compiler will have to rewrite the class to implement IEventDispatcher)
[flexcoders] Re: Sending POST requests to php script??Help

But you are using Object, and Object is not bindable and you are trying to
