 I have done something similar lately except for the spring 
 loaded opening mechanism. The problem that I saw with Alex Harui's 
 approach was that you had to turn a leaf into a branch before being 
 able to drop a node on it. That impacts the icons that represent the 
 nodes and I still wanted a leaf node to be represented with a leaf 
 icon up to the point where it contains children. If all your nodes 
 (leaf or branch) have the same icon, then you could make all the nodes 
 branches through a custom ITreeDataDescriptor. You'll have to live 
 with having the small arrow to the left on every node.
  
 What I finally did was to overload some tree methods. If the drag  
 drop is over the bottom half portion of a node, I highlight it and 
 rewrite the parent and rowIndex properties of the _dropData property. 
 That works well. You could extend the logic to open up the folder 
 after the drop and add a spring loaded opening mechanism.
  
 I'm attaching some code but I had to clean it up to remove proprietary 
 information. Not sure if it still compiles but that's a starting point :-)
  
 Hope it helps!

[flexcoders] Open native file browser from Air

2009-03-11 Thread bjorn

I don't mean the native file browser that lets you select a file
(FileReferenceList), I mean opening ie. on windows explorer and let the user
browse around as normal.

Is this possible? Tried navigateToURL with file:// but that just opened
the browser in the directory. I'd like to open the file explorer.

[flexcoders] Populating NativeMenu with async call; AIR

2009-03-11 Thread Aldo Bucchi

Hi all,

Is there any way to incrementally populate a NativeMenu after it has
been displayed?
I need to show the menu upon right-click, send some queries back to
the server and, depending on the replies, show custom actions.

It looks like this is not possible, but I'd rather ask as it might be
a common use case.

One alternative is to use Windows instead of NativeMenus. But that
means looser integration.

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Tree filter nodes to hide leaves

Hi,

There must be simple way to do that. I've got an XML (the dataProvider 
of a tree) that can contains any kind of nodes.

I'd like to display only a type of node in my tree, let's say I've got 
an XML composed of car and plane nodes and I want to show only the 
cars in my tree.

Also, if my node has a content like:
car![CDATA[My Car]]/car

It shows the content of the car node as a leaf in the tree, I'd like to 
hide that content as well.

This XML is binded to others views so I wouldn't like to use another 
dataProvider built from this XML. I would need to hide them without 
remove them from the XML.

Any hint?

Thanks

[flexcoders] how to change alpha of a disabled combobox?

2009-03-11 Thread ettorepasquini

in my application i need to disable comboboxes (enabled = false) and change the 
look of the disabled combo to make it more opaque. Basically I want the 
disabled combo to look a little closer to the enabled combo look. Easy right?

Wrong. I am able to change every styling info (color, background, gradients, 
etc) EXCEPT the overall alpha mask of the component, which makes the 0x0 black 
look like gray.

I tried many approaches:
- combo.alpha = 1;
- combo.setStyle(backgroundAlpha, 1.0);
- combo.setStyle(fillAlphas, [1.0, 1.0]);
- applied my own skin class modified from ComboBoxArrowSkin and modified 
updateDisplayList to set fillAlphas to [1,1]

No changes whatsoever: someone is imposing a default alpha but I cannot figure 
where the hell that happens and/or out how to override that.

Any insights? Am I missing the obvious? Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Re: FocusManager fun... Tab Loops redux

2009-03-11 Thread pwohlhart

I have the same problem although I use mx.managers.FocusManager

Basically what I'm trying to do is a tab-loop in a container-Sprite.

When I click on one of the elements in the container-Sprite what I get is:

ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the 
caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/getChildIndex()
at 
mx.managers::SystemManager/getChildIndex()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\SystemManager.as:1652]
at 
mx.managers::SystemManager/mouseDownHandler()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\SystemManager.as:3439]


It seems like the SystemManager is looking for the IFocusManagerContainer
responsible for the clicked DisplayObject directly in its own childList.
Do all FocusManagerContainers have to be top level elements?

Am I right when assuming that per application there should always be one
SystemManger and my IFocusManagerContainer should return that one (in 
Application.application)?

[flexcoders] Question about binding and circular reference

2009-03-11 Thread enriirne

Say I have this:

// MyForm.mxml
[Bindable]
public var foo:String;

mx:Bindable source=foo destination=myText.text/
mx:Bindable source=myText.text destination=foo/

mx:TextInput id=myText/

Is there an elegant way to avoid that foo is cleared upon creation of MyForm?
Indeed, if I do this in the main app:

var mf:MyForm = new MyForm();
mf.foo = bar;
addChild(mf);

then myText is empty, probably because it's empty content is first assigned to 
foo due to the second binding.
The real problem I'm trying to solve is to use the same value object to show 
data to the user and to receive his/her changes.

Of course it works if I use two vos: say voIn and voOut, binding them 
accordingly.

Any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] Tree filter nodes to hide leaves

I tried that and bind the XMLListCollection, which is updating my XML,

The only problem is that the filterFunction is working only on the list
(on the first level).

The children of the list (that are XMLList, not XMLListConnection) are
not filtered and I still see nodes that I dont want there.

How can I apply this filter Function recursively through the
XMLListCollection?

RE: [flexcoders] Question about binding and circular reference

2009-03-11 Thread Yves Riel

The problem you are experiencing is caused by the fact that when the
player executes the line [ mf.foo = bar ], your text input is not even
created in your form yet. So, the foo-myText binding does nothing and
when the text input is finally created, the myText-foo binding executes
and thus overwrite what was in foo.
 
If you want to avoid this, you need to do:
 
protected var mf:MyForm = new MyForm();
mf.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, formCreatedHandler);
addChild(mf);
 
protected function formCreatedHandler(event:FlexEvent):void {
mf.removeEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,
formCreatedHandler);
mf.foo = bar;
}

You cannot. The closest you can come is saving your XML file on a remote

[flexcoders] Best practices for full screen video in AIR? What's the best HD performance we can?

2009-03-11 Thread George

Hi,

The Flex/AIR project I'm working recently need to play full screen high 
quality H.264 videos in second monitor screen (usually a projector, 
maybe a large monitor sometime, such as 1680x1050). I run into trouble 
with video performance we can get.

I know Adobe Media Player make full screen video playback. Our 
application is larger than AMP though. There's a main window in main 
screen, control video playback as well as other contents such as full 
screen Flash files loaded.

The performance when I testing on 1680x1050 screen with Macbook core 2 
duo (with Flex Builder running),  camcorder shot videos can play mostly 
smooth,  while as parts of videos panning with still images slowly, in 
these parts can never feel smooth enough. (The application when I tested 
with released version in slow 2G cpu / 2G memory Vista computer, it run 
80% CPU around when video playing.)

What I'm doing on video:

Use an standalone Window component to contain a FLVPlayback (CS4 
version), run full screen display mode on its stage alone. (Didn't set 
'fullScreenSourceRect', as I tried, it cause worse performance 
significantly)

Video encode settings:
960x540, Field Oder - none (no interlace), profile - high, level - 4.1, 
frame rate - should be 30 or 29.97 fps, target bitrate - 1.5 mbps, max 
bitrate - 2 mbps.

My question is:
 - Does each AIR nativeWindow run its own thread, or the whole AIR 
application running a single thread?
 - What's the best practices for full screen high quality video in AIR? 
Anything I can improve?
 - How to GC after video played? I used videoplayer.clear(), but cannot 
run videoplayer.close(), as I test when try to load a new video quickly, 
it throw an error.
 - What's the best HD video performance we can get in multiple windows 
Flex/AIR application?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: FocusManager fun... Tab Loops redux

2009-03-11 Thread aceoohay

Alex:

Let me restate my primary question;

...has anyone else tried to create a flex component with a separate tab loop, 
if so how did you make it work?

Since the documentation seems to indicate that FocusManager will allow multiple 
tab loops that was the approach I was investigating. 

My primary goal, irrespective of how I do it is to create what I call a tab 
domain. Whatever it is called, what I need is the ability to define a captive 
group of objects from which focus will never leave by pressing the tab key.

[flexcoders] Re: TextArea : change fontcolor of selected text

2009-03-11 Thread ross_w_henderson

The RichTextEditor component does this.  If you look at that class's code, 
you'll see that it calls a function named setTextStyles and passes an argument 
of 'color'.

Basically, it creates a TextFormat object with the desired style (font color, 
in this case), and applies it to the selected text.


Good luck.

[flexcoders] BlazeDS/ActiveMQ amf-streaming disconnect problem

2009-03-11 Thread Christophe Herreman

Hi,

We are experiencing disconnects on our Tomcat/BlazeDS/ActiveMQ stack.
Although our BlazeDS StreamingAMFChannel is configured with the default
idle-timeout-minutes of 0, it seems to timeout after about 30 minutes of
idle time (see log). The client does not do any requests during that time
and we are also not pushing messages from the ActiveMQ topic.

We have enabled debug logging on activeMQ and BlazeDS and see that BlazeDS
is removing the consumer. Unfortunately there is no log message prior to the
disconnect message so we can't really trace when this is called within
BlazeDS.

Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone provide a solution?

 Alternatly you can create images for each state and do the same as described

Write your own. I'd stay away from FLVPlayback. Roll your own video

control it.


Instead of using fullScreenSourceRect you can just try simple full

efficient full screen model now and also takes into consideration  
vertical blank (VBL) for smoother playback. I'm not so sure hardware

That sounds good.

Ensure no smoothing is on the video. Try to set the profile to  
main. High is more processor intensive. Drop the data rate in half  
as a test - though I'm guessing the results you get will be similar.  
It just might be your processor.



My question is:
- Does each AIR nativeWindow run its own thread, or the whole AIR
application running a single thread?


Certain things within Flash are multithreaded and will take advantage  
of multiple cores (bitmap filters, some vector ops, H.264 decoding  
and hardware scaling).


Flash itself runs in one thread (i think?). The only other thing with  
AIR that's unique is WebKit ... don't know much about that.



- What's the best practices for full screen high quality video in AIR?
Anything I can improve?


On an intel core 2 duo chip you should be able to do full screen 720p  
(1280x720) video at the least - and barely 1080p. Should being the  
operative word. Best practices here is all in the encoding and bit rate.


Check out the Adobe HD Gallery and see if you can run those videos on  
your test case. If you can't, you need a faster machine.


You can try FFMPEG to encode the H.264 video (x264 or mencoder). It  
does a great job and you get some nice additional encoding features  
that might give you a one-up on performance. That said, I think the  
latest Flash Media Encoder is pretty well tuned.



- How to GC after video played? I used videoplayer.clear(), but cannot
run videoplayer.close(), as I test when try to load a new video  
quickly,

it throw an error.


Not sure there's enough information to help here. What error are you  
getting? GC is automatic and you don't have much control with  
FLVPlayback.



- What's the best HD video performance we can get in multiple windows
Flex/AIR application?


One stream of H.264 encoded 1080p video for best performance on a  
dual core processor. More windows with more streams is possible but  
from a performance standpoint, you might need 2x as many cores as you  
have streams to play. I'm not sure how smart the multithreading is on

Some other thoughts:

1. I'd recommend trying WinXP Pro as a test case

A flex application runs on the users computer. It does not normally have

It'd be based on the number of simultaneous connections allowed by the

remoting calls.  Connections generally don't last very long but it 
should be limited by the web server's connection settings.

No, a limited number of users can access the server that serves your flex

I want to store my website login and password in an xml file.
This xml file will be on the server.
Where to put this xml file to be invisible for the exterior of the website ?

In short...

Anything accessed and consumed by the client ( a web browser ) will be
exposed to the client. When a user accesses a XML file, she is downloading
the file and parsing it.

This is whey a server side language, such as PHP, is used. With PHP, a
request is sent to the server and a response is sent back.  While the
request and response can be monitored, the script it self is not exposed.

[flexcoders] Accordion component and drag?

Accordion but I thought there would be for the repeater inside it? I am
using a canvas inside the repeater and cannot find one there either.

   Am I just missing the obvious?

Of the screen? No, at least not any way that I am aware.

You can determine the center of your flex application:

private function findCenter() : void 
{
var centerX:int = Application.application.width/2;
var centerY:int = Application.application.height/2;
Alert.show( String( centerX ) +  x  + String( centerY ) );
}

Hope this helps!

[flexcoders] offline flex3 app - security error

2009-03-11 Thread banshee...@ymail.com

Hi,

is it still possible to run a flex app from lets say, a cd ?
Or do you really have to use air ?

We have an app that was developed last year. It calls an xml to get the data it 
needs. This version still works.

This month i had to change somethings in the app.

My flex builder is updated to the 3.3 SDK. ( I also tried with the 3 SDK and 
2.0.1 hotfix, the last hasn't got the necessary content).

When i try to run the app from outside the localhost, there is always a message 
:  the following local application on your computer ... is trying to 
communicate with this internet-enabled location ...

Clicking the settings button doesn't do anything, so i can't add the folder to 
the trusted places. This wouldn't be a solution if it worked, because all the 
cd users would have to add the folder also.

Both the swf and the html are in the same folder.

Choosing ok continues the app, and everything is working, the xml is loaded. 
So why the warning ?

I have been looking into the Compiler options :
- -use-network=false has been in there all the time, and so it should
- deselecting the require flash player version doesn't do the trick
- not enabling integration with browser navigation neither

I read that the security changed with player 9.0 r124 - the older of the app 
version worked with 9.0 r115 - so i tried to run the app with older flash 
players.
9.0 r115 and 9.0 r47 didn't work.

If i put the new swf in a folder with the old working html file and change the 
references for history and .js files it doesn't work either. Still the error 
message.

So i guess the problem must be in the swf itself.

I cannot find anything on this, except the advice to add the app to the trusted 
places.

Anybody can help me ? Would be greatly appreciated !

The reason I use FLVPlayback because I tried before writing my own video

 Instead of using fullScreenSourceRect you can just try simple full

 efficient full screen model now and also takes into consideration 
 vertical blank (VBL) for smoother playback. I'm not so sure hardware 
 scaling does that.
 
 Video encode settings:
 960x540, Field Oder - none (no interlace), profile - high, level - 4.1, 
 frame rate - should be 30 or 29.97 fps, target bitrate - 1.5 mbps, max 
 bitrate - 2 mbps.
 
 That sounds good.
 
 Ensure no smoothing is on the video. Try to set the profile to main. 
 High is more processor intensive. Drop the data rate in half as a test - 
 though I'm guessing the results you get will be similar. It just might 
 be your processor.

Yes I tried half rate a few days before, the results was similar.

 
 My question is:
 - Does each AIR nativeWindow run its own thread, or the whole AIR 
 application running a single thread?
 
 Certain things within Flash are multithreaded and will take advantage of 
 multiple cores (bitmap filters, some vector ops, H.264 decoding and 
 hardware scaling).
 
 Flash itself runs in one thread (i think?). The only other thing with 
 AIR that's unique is WebKit ... don't know much about that.
 
 - What's the best practices for full screen high quality video in AIR? 
 Anything I can improve?
 
 On an intel core 2 duo chip you should be able to do full screen 720p 
 (1280x720) video at the least - and barely 1080p. Should being the 
 operative word. Best practices here is all in the encoding and bit rate.
 
 Check out the Adobe HD Gallery and see if you can run those videos on 
 your test case. If you can't, you need a faster machine.

I tested both 480p and 720p, the video performance from Adobe HD gallery 
even worse. I think it because most of our pc/Macs using Intel shared 
graphics chips? But the owner of project wish to get high quality video 
playback in full screen even with Intel chips.

Seems it has to have dedicated graphics card to play, as I test with 
iMac, the video running more smoothly.

 
 You can try FFMPEG to encode the H.264 video (x264 or mencoder). It does 
 a great job and you get some nice additional encoding features that 
 might give you a one-up on performance. That said, I think the latest 
 Flash Media Encoder is pretty well tuned.
 
 - How to GC after video played? I used videoplayer.clear(), but cannot 
 run videoplayer.close(), as I test when try to load a new video quickly, 
 it throw an error.
 
 Not sure there's enough information to help here. What error are you 
 getting? GC is automatic and you don't have much control with FLVPlayback.

The application change dynamically videos playback and other contents 
anytime. I tested on Vista, regular video play use 100M more memory than 
clean them when possible ( use both vp.clean() and vp.close() and then 
System.gc()).

The error say 'failed to reconnect.' or so, happened in a special 
situation, as the application working in dual screen mode, it can 
sometime go back to single screen mode, so the same video (another video 
instance but same video source) will be played inside main window (for 
example, the second screen was disconnected by accident). This error 
happen when I switch from dual-screen to one-screen and return back 
again to dual-screen (will reconnect to the same source).

 
 - What's the best HD video performance we can get in multiple windows 
 Flex/AIR application?
 
 One stream of H.264 encoded 1080p video for best performance on a dual 
 core processor. More windows with more streams is possible but from a 
 performance standpoint, you might need 2x as many cores as you have 
 streams to play. I'm not sure how smart the multithreading is on the 
 video decoding in Flash.
 
 Some other thoughts:
 
 1. I'd recommend trying WinXP Pro as a test case
 
 2. Do not use any transparent border skin for the AIR Window. The custom 
 border skin will kill the performance of your application anywhere from 
 10-20%
 
 cheers,

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3 Tree - Moving Nodes

You need to declare the extended component:

TreeEx id=myTree .

 

You may have component namespace issues.  If the component is in the same
folder as the app source, you can use the local xmlns=* If it is in a
different folder, you need to specify that in the xmlns declaration,
xmlns:mycomps=components.*, then do: mycomps:TreeEx id=myTree .

Hi,

is it still possible to run a flex app from lets say, a cd ?
Or do you really have to use air ?

We have an app that was developed last year. It calls an xml to get the data it 
needs. This version still works.

This month i had to change somethings in the app.

My flex builder is updated to the 3.3 SDK. ( I also tried with the 3 SDK and 
2.0.1 hotfix, the last hasn't got the necessary content).

When i try to run the app from outside the localhost, there is always a message 
:  the following local application on your computer ... is trying to 
communicate with this internet-enabled location ...

Clicking the settings button doesn't do anything, so i can't add the folder to 
the trusted places. This wouldn't be a solution if it worked, because all the 
cd users would have to add the folder also.

Both the swf and the html are in the same folder.

Choosing ok continues the app, and everything is working, the xml is loaded. 
So why the warning ?

I have been looking into the Compiler options :
- -use-network=false has been in there all the time, and so it should
- deselecting the require flash player version doesn't do the trick
- not enabling integration with browser navigation neither

I read that the security changed with player 9.0 r124 - the older of the app 
version worked with 9.0 r115 - so i tried to run the app with older flash 
players.
9.0 r115 and 9.0 r47 didn't work.

If i put the new swf in a folder with the old working html file and change the 
references for history and .js files it doesn't work either. Still the error 
message.

So i guess the problem must be in the swf itself.

I cannot find anything on this, except the advice to add the app to the trusted 
places.

Anybody can help me ? Would be greatly appreciated !

[flexcoders] Maintaining sessions while interacting with Flex using alt back-end services

2009-03-11 Thread wubac1

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on a design issue I'm facing.  If I have 
a sign in form external to Flex, but it controls access to the Flex 
application, what are the best practices for maintaining the session when the 
user is interacting with the Flex application?  I can provide the Flex 
application the session ID, but what do I do with it to ensure that the session 
does not expire while a user is working in the application?  I'm using web 
services, so I wonder if I should be checking the session at the point.  For 
example, if I have a PHP-based website hosting an adobe Flex application, with 
a PHP sign in form, what should I be doing with regard to Flex, if the 
application uses web services outside of PHP (such as gSOAP, Axis2/C, or one of 
the various Java options)?

I can see how this would work if the Flex application used PHP as the back-end, 
since all communication would go though a single source that manages the 
session.  However, what I don't understand and have found little with regard to 
answers on the subject, is how to integrate a Flex application that utilizes an 
alternate back-end from the hosting website.  I'm my case, the alternate 
back-end is in the same domain, so I suspect there should be a way to share the 
session information between PHP and other services such as web services in 
gSOAP.  Has anyone faced this design issue?  Thoughts on an appropriate 
solution?  Is this approach worth the trouble or should I be calling PHP that 
then routes requests to the web services (or implements the service)?

Re: [flexcoders] Building Custom ActionScript Components with Skins

2009-03-11 Thread Josh McDonald

Is the size of the component a big question? If not, I'd go with Flex
because then you can use Degrafa. The team is working on removing
inter-dependencies and also removing the dependency upon Flex (via
UIComponent), but that's not ready yet, so it does add some weight to your
.swf files.

-Josh

2009/3/11 adamduro a...@duromedia.com

   So I am trying to build out a custom SimpleMp3player component. Here is
 a screen shot of what the current design for this looks like:

 http://storage.duromedia.com/mp3_player_ui.jpg

 I want to create a custom component that will contain all the functionality
 that the above UI illustrates, but I want to make the component as easily
 skinable for the future as possible. Preferably skinable by a designer, and
 not a developer.

 I have considered a few routes.

 1) The one I am most comfortable with is building a custom component with
 the Flash IDE, and custom AS3 classes, then export out using the Flex
 Component Kit. As far as I can see, the draw back to that is the skin has to
 be customized using the Flash IDE from then on out.

 2) The other route I considered was building the whole thing in Flex, and
 using a style attribute to feed in a SWF based skin file. This is something
 I'm starting to get more familiar with, but I'm still a long ways off from
 mastering the art of pure Flex custom components.

 First off, if anyone has any opinions on which of the above two routes
 would be best, please speak up. If there are other routes to take, do tell.

 Second, If anyone has any good resources (besides the Flex 3 LiveDocs) on
 building out custom components that utilize Skins as outlined in option 2,
 please pass those along.

 Third, if anyone feels like tackling any of these specific questions, I
 would love some help:

 - When creating a skinnable ActionScript component, do I have to create a
 style property for each UI element? (ie. playButtonUp, playButtonDown,
 seekBarTrack, seekBar, etc.)

 - Can I use the skin file to put together the layout of the component, or
 do I have to do that programatically with ActionScript? I would love if I
 could do a layout in Illustrator that had all the elements of the
 MusicPlayer component positioned where I want them, and then feed in a
 single Symbol (containing the other symbols) so that the UI component
 maintained the layout as it was set in Illustrator.

 Any help with any of the above would be met with great appreciation.

 Best,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Find the middel of the screen

2009-03-11 Thread Sam Lai

You can get the screen resolution from the Capabilities object - see
here 
http://www.thedesilva.com/2008/06/finding-client-machine-capabilities-using-flex-flash/.
From that you can work out the middle of the screen.

However, a word of warning - I have no idea how Flash and/or different
operating systems handle multiple displays. On Windows, all screen
location points (x, y) are relative to the 'primary' screen. So the
location point on any screen left or below of the primary screen will
have negative values for example. There is not enough information
provided for you to be able to handle these situations, which are
becoming increasingly common.

If you're looking just to place your app in the middle of the screen,
I'd argue the effort isn't worth the effect.

2009/3/12 bartman279 bartman...@yahoo.com:
 Of the screen? No, at least not any way that I am aware.

 You can determine the center of your flex application:

        private function findCenter() : void
        {
                var centerX:int = Application.application.width/2;
                var centerY:int = Application.application.height/2;
                Alert.show(     String( centerX ) +  x  + String( centerY ) 
 );
        }

 Hope this helps!

Try setting cacheAsBitmap to true.  If that doesn't work, try actually taking 
an ImageSnapshot of the text and printing that.

RE: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection or XML

In all cases, use the appropriate API to navigate to the desired data
object, then access the data via the methods and properties provided by that
object.

Subject: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection or XML

 

Hi all guru,

[Database Table]

At Backend I use PHP and Mysql. PHP script can return Array or XML string.
At Flex app, I use Remote Object

1)PHP script return Array:
and in Flex code I get Array as :

dp = new ArrayCollection( ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result));

If I show dp in Datagrid or List, TileList - it OK . But I want to get
value of firstname , lastname into textbox . I don't know , can flex do that
? And how to get value from ArrayCollection.

2)PHP script return XML string :

I don't know how to parse XML string and show result in textbox. And how to
get value from XML string.

Please help me or any idea
