[flexcoders] Debugger can't find framework source

[reflexactions]

I noticed that after I switch my app to use framework RSL's the debugger always 
shows the framework as "no source".

I have checked that in the library path the source attachment property is set 
and is valid.

All I need do is switch between framework linkage "merged in code" and "RSL" 
for it to show/not show source code in the debugger.

This is running FB standalone. 

Does anyone know how to get it to find the source code when using the framework 
as an RSL?

Hi Allen, though I did not ask before I would be interested in your code. Do
you have a working sample?

RE: [flexcoders] Ribbon in FLEX

[Allan Pichler]

Hi all..

 

I'm sorry to say that for some reason I am missing the list of people who
wanted the code/graphics for a ribbon/editor toolbar I made quite a while
ago.

 

If interested parties would raise their hand off list (so to speak) please
do so... I have finally had time to locate the files in question.

 

I apologize for the trouble and wish everyone a great Sunday night!

Kind of like the toolbar for picking controls in Adobe Dreamweaver
(unless they've changed it in recent versions).
 
Unfortunately I haven't heard of any Flash implementations, only
Silverlight implementations. You could implement it yourself using a
TabNavigator and Panel controls inside each tab for groups, and
buttons inside them. It's the styling that will be a pain - the
official specs are available from Microsoft for free though, with some
conditions attached
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/office/aa973809.aspx). You could also
use the images and even code if you know XAML from the Silverlight
version - http://silverlightribbon.codeplex.com/
 
Personally I'd be making my own interpretation of the ribbon control
instead of following the Microsoft version to the dot, especially
seeing as they have changed a few bits in Windows 7 which will
probably filter down to Office in Office 2010 (e.g. the confusion with
the File menu - the Orb in the top corner is now gone).

Re: [flexcoders] GENERIC compareFucntion without hardcoding of dataField ?

[Josh McDonald]

Just off the top of my head, probably have 1 and -1 mixed up :)

function createCompareFunction(fieldName : String) : Function
{
  return function(left : Object, right : Object) : Number
 {
 if (left[fieldName] < right[fieldName])
   return -1;
 if (left[fieldName] > right[fieldName])
   return 1;
 return 0;
 }
}

Then you can just call:

createCompareFunction("field1");
createCompareFunction("field2");
createCompareFunction("fieldN");

Re: [flexcoders] Weired Focus Change behaviour on tab pressing

[geeky developer]

Hey Alex
Thanks for replying but if I changed it to GroupName instead of group, it
would let me make only one selection of the radio button. No doubt it fixed
the tab focus issue but I like to use pairs of radio button like in the
below example code, I like unitRoleGroup as one group and I like to select
one of them at a time and networkSettingsGroup as another group in which I
will like to select one at a time. It would let me do that if I change the
property name to "group ", it would let me select one of the options if use
group instead of groupName but then it would screw up the tab focus and if I
change the group to groupName as recommended, then it fixes the tab focus
issue but then it combines all the 4 radio button options into one and I
would be able to select only one of them, thats not what i need. I like to
create 2 different groups of radio buttons like the way it is shown in the
code and i  would like the tab ordering work properly with selecting one of
the option at a time in each radio button group, Any idea to fix it? Thanks

[flexcoders] Committing change events

[reflexactions]

Is there a way to bind properties in mxml to the committing change event only?

tks

RE: [flexcoders] datagrid cell

[Tracy Spratt]

No, you do not do that.  You just assign the array to the dataGrid's
dataProvider property.

You never work directly with columns or rows of the datagrid.  DataGrid and
List and the other data driven controls are just that, "data driven".  You
always work with the dataProvider.

There is not a one to one relationship between the rows of the dataGrid and
the elements in your data. Google for: flex itemRenderer recycle.

[flexcoders] XML node access problem

[kandalf26]

Hi everybody, I'm having a problem with XML. I need anybody that tell me why is 
it not working, please.

In this picture:
http://asylum.homelinux.org/xml-error.png

There's a debugging session where the error can be shown. You'll see in the 
Expressions window, the XML var highlighted and at the right of it the value of 
it, which is a valid XML structure. With this value expanded the two child 
nodes can be seen.
I need to get to the value of the node called "service" which is an immediate 
child of the root node.
Right below this expression, there are two more expressions, one which works 
but it's no good for coding and the second one which should works (as the docs 
say it should) but is, actually, not working. The debugger is raising an error 
and I'm not getting the data.

Can anybody tell me what's wrong with this?

Thanx a lot in advance.

RE: [flexcoders] datagrid cell

[Tracy Spratt]

This is "Red Flag" question.  You do *not* retrieve data from a datagrid
cell.  Your retrieve data from the datagrid's dataProvider.

 

Do you understand about item renderers and recycling?

 

How are you getting "row number"

Re: [flexcoders] Styling a list item renderer

[Aaron Hardy]

Thanks Alex.  Pairing a renderer with a custom list component seems a 
bit overkill and smells of over-coupling.  In any case, your response 
answers my question and I greatly appreciate it.  Thanks again!

Alex Harui wrote:


So if the renderer used say, a style named "aaronRadius" to determine 
the size of the circle, you don't have to change the styleName on the 
renderer.


If you put a List selector in your styles block with "aaronRadius" in 
it, it should transfer through to the renderer. You won't be able to 
use aaronRadius in the style MetaData, but you could pair your renderer with an AaronList 
subclass that defines aaronRadius on it, and makes your renderer the 
default renderer.

Thanks for the response Alex. The styles I'm mostly talking about are
very specific to the item renderer. For example, my renderer has a
colored circle in it along with a few other things. I'd like to specify
a radius style that can be a specific radius for one list and a
different radius for a separate list.

Thanks again for taking the time to participate on the list.

[flexcoders] Re: changes on item renderers on a List

[gwangdesign]

Hi Alex, 

Thanks much for the lead.

What do you mean "virtualization"? Are you referring to recycling of the 
renderers?

The "fancy" stuff I am working on are supposed to be dealing with large amount 
of data while still showing more detailed view of some portions where the user 
is interested...

Another problem I am struggling with is whether to have my component determine 
the states of the item renderers. For example, how do you choreograph the 
transitions of all the item renderers involved (like shrinking the items that 
just lost focus and then expanding the item that just get focus)? It seems it 
should be the job of my component; but when an item renderer expands, it may 
mean to display more detailed information by switching to another state, which 
looks like it may be better handled by its own.

[flexcoders] Date Calculation : DayLightSaving Time

[sngeorge2000]

Hello All,

Currently we are getting a difference of one day while selecting a date outside 
of the DayLightSaving period and a day within the DayLightSaving Period.
Rite now we are calculating the difference between the dates using the 
following code.

 (toDateField.selectedDate.getTime()
-fromDateField.selectedDate.getTime())/milliSecondsPerDay
where milliSecondsPerDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;

I understand that it is a bug in flex as mentioned in the following link.
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-19092

We are desperately in need for a fix for the bug as we got this as a production 
defect in an application made for a particular financial institution. 
Any fixes to this problem would be deeply be appreciated.

Sneha

[flexcoders] Last Column is getting unnecessary space on column resize ?

[Dharmendra Chauhan]

Hi All,
I have a resizable  dataGrid with horizontalScrollPolicy = "auto
" , when I resize any column , width of last column is being increased ?

If  I am not resizing it ( last column) ,why is it increasing its width
?

I dived   in to  dataGrid code and found a method  calculateColumnSizes
(), this method has got code which assign unnecessary  space to the last
column.
Since this is private method ,I cant ovrride it .

Also , when i try to minimize its width ,it required more than 2 attempt
to acheive it  ..why It is so ?

Last colun resizing behavior should be similier to the rest of the
column ?

Is anybosy has ever faced these issue ?

Does anybody know the solution ?

[flexcoders] GENERIC compareFucntion without hardcoding of dataField ?

[Dharmendra Chauhan]

Hi All,
My flex2  DataGrid  has got at least 50 columns of type Date.I
also have list which opens when use select  a context menu item ,in this
list user can select  any no of columns on which he wants  multiple
sorting to be happen.

Lets say user has selected 5 Columns for multi sorting,I create 5
sortField with compareFunction in loop as follows

   var sortFieldArray:Array = new Array();
   for(var dataField in selectedColumnArray){
 var field:SortField = new SortField(dataField );

  field.compareFunction = function(itemA:Object,itemB:Object):int{
 var dateA:Date =itemA[dataField ] ;
 var dateB:Date =itemB[dataField ] ;

  .
  }
 sortFieldArray.push(field);
   }
Problem which I have been facing is ,local var dataField is always 
referring to the last value of selectedColumnArray hence sorting is
happening based on last column only.

I dont want to create separate compareFunction for each column , simply
because at compilation time I dont know about the no of column which
user can choose to participate in multipleSorting.And I dont want to
create 50 compareFunction with hardcoded dataField name


Is it possible to create GENERIC compareFucntion which can take
dataField without hard coding ?

Please throw some light on this it?
