[flexcoders] Synonym Issue

2009-03-20 Thread lehaianh1986
I want to question anybody who know about synonym issue. In my AIR app, I have 
text area component to compose some document. I want to have synonym function 
in order to when I click any word in text area, the app show list of synonym 
word that I can replace this word by another word. I have searched in google 
but no result. Maybe someone in our forum know about the issue, and can show me 
a way that I can follow. Thank in advanced any help!!!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Convert Air app. to Flex

2009-03-20 Thread Gregor Kiddie
Right, you are using FB to compile your app. You need to change the
nature of your project from AIR to Flex so that FB will run it as a Flex
App rather than an AIR app (If you just ran the compiled swf through the
browser, it should work fine).

 

FB isn't that nice at changing project natures, but there's a hacky fix
you can make.

 

Open up the .project file (note the period on the front) and remove the
apollonature nature from the list, and make sure the flex and
actionscript ones are in the list.

 

It should look something like,

 

natures

naturecom.adobe.flexbuilder.project.flexnature/nature

naturecom.adobe.flexbuilder.project.actionscriptnature/nature

/natures

 

Next go into the project properties and under Builders make sure only
the Flex builder is checked. If the AIR one is checked remove it.

 

Open up the run dialog and set up a new configuration for your app,
create it under the Flex Application part of the tree, and set up the
config normally.

 

Tah da! You should be able to run it in FB now (assuming I haven't
missed any steps out... doing this from memory!)

Hi Alex, hi Rob,

thanks both for your replies.

Rob I 've tried your suggestion but it didn't help.. So after visiting Alex's 
blog, doing some more reading and further invastigation (debugging) of my 
problem, I have come now to the following:
- Alex is right about the Singletons. I traced the exact step where the app 
throws that error as in the following code from HistoryManager.as:

private static function get impl():IHistoryManager
{
if (!_impl)
{
_impl = IHistoryManager(
Singleton.getInstance(mx.managers::IHistoryManager));
}
return _impl;
}

Now as I described in the first place, I was unloading/loading modules by the 
standard procedure (and I had the problem). Running the loop as desribed 
initially, when the flow reaches the line if (!_impl), the condition calculates 
true and goes in to update _impl, and so throws the error (the second time it 
runs).

If instead I don't unload module1a the first time client (role=Customer) is 
logged out and then he runs again this option that loads again module1a, the if 
(!_impl) condition, comes false, jumps to return _impl; line, and all goes well 
- no error thrown..

This proves the point Alex said, but now I wonder what good is there to have a 
module loaded all the time just in case the client decides to run this option 
again.. before actually closing his browser.. I believe this defeats the 
purpose and I rather have to consider re-writting that module1a in a totally 
different style.

I hope this is clear enough.. What is your advise ?

Thank you again for helping me gaining insight in this esoteric problem..

George

  Hi all,
 
  I have the following problem with my current development. A client is 
  loging in the system either as customer or admin and accordingly the main 
  application through module manager loads either module1 or module2.
  If a client is logged as customer (i.e. module1 is loaded), he is offered 
  a number of choices, leading to loading one of module1a, module1b, etc.
 
  In every case the procedure is a unload previous/load next module through:
 
  public function createModule(m:ModuleLoader, s:String):void{
  m.url = s;
  m.loadModule();
  }
 
  public function removeModule(m:ModuleLoader):void {
  m.unloadModule();
  }
 
  Finally that client is logged out when finished.
 
  Now if he does a new login as a customer, module1 loads and offers again 
  the customers options, but if he tries the same option (which leads to 
  loading module1a), an error is thrown, with the following message from 
  the Flash Player:

Thansk for the insightful reply. I'm new to flex and am working on an
application that was created long before I started on it. I have been
refering to existing code to progress my knowledge and have also been
reviewing best practices online. The existing code doesn't use strongly
typed objects but that is what I'm used to so my development has been
using that methodology, actually the boolean assignment is occurning
while mapping to a VO. I will use e4x from now on.

This is probably happening because you have left the resultFormat at the
default object.  The object decoder attempts to be smart and changes
the xml strings into what it thinks the data types should be.  It often
guesses wrong.

Set the resultFormat=e4x and you will get your data reliably.  It will
always be strings, but it will be the strings that were sent.

There are other reasons not to use resultFormat=object as well.  Best
practice (with HTTPService) is to get the XML in pure e4x form, then
convert it yourself into an ArrayCollection of strongly typed value
objects.

That is the problem with the object being inconsistent. Since any string
representation is not 0 it becomes true. 

So in order to get around the bug I have to do boolean(int(value)); That
way if value comes back as a stirng it is properly cast to an int then
to a boolean. If it comes back as an int then the int(value) is
irrelevant and it is still cast to a boolean correctly.

Re: [flexcoders] How do I create a clickable line in Flex?

2009-03-20 Thread Brendan Meutzner
You can use the drawing API (ie. graphics.lineStyle(), g.lineTo(), etc...)
and draw your line on a component layer (UIComponent for instance).  Then
just add event listeners to the component instance for click, mousedown,
etc...  There's plenty of documentation for the drawing API methods, and
their usage.  The only thing that shows in an empty UIComponent instance is
the stuff you draw, so once you add to a Canvas or something, the drawn
portions will receive the interaction (ie. your line)

Make sure each step works before going on to the next.

*   Get your data
*   Put it in an ArrayCollection
*   Populate the dataGrid with that Array collection
*   Create a filter, using a hard coded IP address
*   Create the checkbox
*   In the click event handler of the CheckBox, Apply the filter if it
is selected.  Remove the filter if it is not.
*   Add the IP textInput control

you tried running each differently sized SWF to see if they behave or look

Hi Gordon,

I meant that changes are minimal (I am not adding or removing a 3d library or

Adding a couple of actionscript lines / removing a couple of lines resulted in 
variations of about 200K in swf size...

Maybe its something to do with builder? Sometimes it cleans better than others?

I do not know what is going on but in the last couple of days I was adding new 
bits of code which at some point
resulted in the small file - I said cool! I possibly removed a couple of 
references to some unused classes
or something similar and then after a couple of compile/build the size went up 
again...

Hi,

I am working on a project where the debug build is about 1MB.

The problem is that from build to build i have seen the resulting swf changing 
sizes. The builds do not add or remove any code, its just minor changes ie 
myIntVar = 1 instead of 0.

Last 5 builds:

1. 1086 KB
2. 1086 KB
3. 894 KB
4. 933 KB
5. 1087 KB

I am not sure yet if this happens in the release build as well...

Anybody seen that before?

PS: Else i will keep rebuilding until i get the smaller possible size to 
publish... (just joking)

[flexcoders] Activate ItemRenderer in AdvancedDataGrid

2009-03-20 Thread yossi.baram
Hi helper,
I have an Hirarchy data grid, I actualy took the adobe sample
http://inovativeflexdevolopment.blogspot.com/
What is does is creating ObjectHierarchicalData that implements 
IHierarchicalData.
the dataprovider is set accordingly and all looks great.
In my grid I can see the parents and all its sub parent and childrens.
My problem is when I want to use columns ItemRenderer(cellValueRenderer).

public class cellValueRenderer extends HBox implements IDropInListItemRenderer
{   
private var _listData:DataGridListData;
private var updatedDP:ArrayCollection;
public var adg:AdvancedDataGrid=new AdvancedDataGrid();
private var ohd:ObjectHierarchicalData;
public function cellValueRenderer():void{

super();

}

override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
if(value != null)
{
super.data = value;
removeAllChildren();

var label:Label =new Label();
label.text = 
value[DataGridListData(listData).dataField];
addChild(label);



}
}
override public function get data():Object {
return super.data;
}

public function get listData():BaseListData
{
return _listData;
}
 
public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
{   
 _listData = DataGridListData(value);
} 
 
override protected function commitProperties():void{
super.commitProperties();
}
 
}
}

I add this to my AS:

var rendererProviders:Array = new Array();
rendererProviders = setRendererProvider();  
for each(var ItemRenderer:AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider in 
rendererProviders){   
this.resultTBLADG.rendererProviders.push(ItemRenderer);
}

columns.addItem(name);
columns.addItem(op1);
columns.addItem(op2);
columns.addItem(op3);
columns.addItem(op4);
columns.addItem(op5);
var rendererProvider:AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider;
var rendererProviders:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = 0; i  columns.length; i++){
var colName:String = columns.getItemAt(i) as String;
rendererProvider = new AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider();
rendererProvider.columnIndex=i; 

var renderer_:IFactory= new ClassFactory(cellValueRenderer);

rendererProvider.renderer= renderer_;  

rendererProvider.dataField=colName;
rendererProviders.push(rendererProvider);
}
return rendererProviders;
}


On my grid I can see the parent folder, but when I click (the Itemrenderer is 
activated)
I see the children but flat without the hirarchy:( although the parent have sub 
parents, it doesnt show it.
I guess its because I added a Label each time.

How can I use the set data() that will show me all hirarchy of the tree?
Label is no good here.

I need to use the exact DataSource in the example (with parent  child 
attributes)

I realy need your help.

   This is probably happening because you have left the resultFormat at the
 default “object”.  The object decoder attempts to be smart and changes the
 xml strings into what it thinks the data types should be.  It often guesses
 wrong.

 Set the resultFormat=”e4x” and you will get your data reliably.  It will
 always be strings, but it will be the strings that were sent.

 There are other reasons not to use resultFormat=”object” as well.  Best
 practice (with HTTPService) is to get the XML in pure e4x form, then convert
 it yourself into an ArrayCollection of strongly typed value objects.

   That is the problem with the object being inconsistent. Since any string
 representation is not 0 it becomes true.

 So in order to get around the bug I have to do boolean(int(value)); That
 way if value comes back as a stirng it is properly cast to an int then to a
 boolean. If it comes back as an int then the int(value) is irrelevant and it
 is still cast to a boolean correctly.

 I'm trying to implement a 'find within datagrid functionality' generically.
 I had things working doing it the hard way of just looping through the

 I decided to implement the same thing using cursors, and the fun began. In
 some cases I'm able to find the object, in others I crash out.

 I've defined a cursor = dataGrid.dataProvider.createCursor();
 looping through with the cursors works, and I'm able to get the correct
 item for cursor.current. I fail with Error #1009
 at internal::findItem() ... ListCollectionView.as:954when I do:
 dataGrid.selectedItem = cursor.current;

 Am I missing something? I didn't think I needed to sort anything if I
 wasn't using any of the find methods on the cursor, but it seems like behind
 the scenes flex is doing find and failing. At this point I may just go back
 to looping through arraycollection, but to me, it seems far less elegant
 than the cursor solution.

Re: [flexcoders] swf file size changes from build to build?

I never used the link-report option before but what i get makes no sense:

clean build:

link-report file size 94KB - no references to my custom components or
external libraries - away3d,etc...

total symbols: 177 - total external symbols: 118 - size (bytes) 499601 -

Both swfs play normally, both (optimized) sizes are wrong. In the first

 Fotis, I’d be interested if you could investigate whether forcing a clean
 first before building results in the same file size, where as “incremental”
 compilations lead to the larger variants in file size that you’re seeing?
 Have you tried running each differently sized SWF to see if they behave or
 look different? A guess at what may cause something like this would be a bug
 during prelink where perhaps a different set of style-mixins are getting
 linked in. If you could save the different sized SWFs you could use

 Hi Gordon,

 I meant that changes are minimal (I am not adding or removing a 3d library
 or any embedded fonts).

 Adding a couple of actionscript lines / removing a couple of lines resulted
 in variations of about 200K in swf size...

 Maybe its something to do with builder? Sometimes it cleans better than
 others?

 I do not know what is going on but in the last couple of days I was adding
 new bits of code which at some point
 resulted in the small file - I said cool! I possibly removed a couple of
 references to some unused classes
 or something similar and then after a couple of compile/build the size went
 up again...

 I just thought of asking on the forum in case somebody else had seen
 something similar...

 Thanks for the reply. Its not a big problem, but still 200K is about 15-20%
 file size change...

 What did you mean by myIntVar = 1 instead of 0? The SWFs should execute
 exactly the same.

 Hi,

 I am working on a project where the debug build is about 1MB.

 The problem is that from build to build i have seen the resulting swf
 changing sizes. The builds do not add or remove any code, its just minor
 changes ie myIntVar = 1 instead of 0.

Re: [flexcoders] Embedding/visualizing special characters issue

2009-03-20 Thread Christian Giordano
Funnily enough it was just the font missing the characters. What was
driving me crazy is that Flash IDE when putting the textfield in the
field was generously embedding another font to render the missing
characters. So the textfield created in the IDE was magically
embedding two fonts and was able to render all the characters.

Cheers, chr



2009/3/20 Peter Farland pfarl...@adobe.com:
 Hey Christian,

 Make sure there are no null chars 0x00 in the String as the display of such 
 Strings are truncated at the first null char.

 What version of Flex are you using?

 Are you using an @font-face to embed your font? If so, can you post a snippet 
 showing the complete @font-face rule?

 Can you provide the fontsmanagers section of your Flex SDK 
 /frameworks/flex-config.xml?

 Also, you could try adding -Dtrace.font as JVM args to get the compiler to 
 print out more debug information about embedding fonts while compiling. If 
 you're using mxmlc.exe, you can add these to the java.args property in the 
 /bin/jvm.config file of your Flex SDK.

 I'm trying to embed an OpenType font (AvantGarde) to be able to show
 Chek chars, like: ůěČžíýř
 And regardless the unicodeRange, there is no way to make it see it :S

 Also other chars of the string are not visible. I tried from Flash IDE

[flexcoders] getRect returns content area, not display area?

2009-03-20 Thread graham.t...@rocketmail.com
In the following example, I'm trying to get the rectangle of theParent from 
the perspective of theGrandparent (theParent.getRect(theGrandparent)).  Here 
is the traced output:

0 0 100 250
0 0 100 100

I expected the rectangle of theParent to have a height of 100, which is its 
constrained height.  Instead, the rectangle has a height of 250, presumably 
including the height of theChild.  

So getRect() looks like its returning _content_ height and not _display_ height.

Is this right?

My application problem is that I'm trying to select all objects intersecting a 
selection rectangle.  I was getting the rectangles of all children (using 
getRect) and calling intersects() on them.  It was then that I noticed that 
children that scrolled were returning rectangles larger than their display area 
on the screen.

What should I be doing instead?  Build the rectangle myself with 
theParent.width and theParent.height?

Example follows:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute 
applicationComplete=onApplicationComplete(event)

mx:Script
![CDATA[

import mx.events.FlexEvent;

private function onApplicationComplete(e:FlexEvent):void
{
var theParentRect:Rectangle;

theParentRect = theParent.getRect(theGrandparent);

trace(theParentRect.x, theParentRect.y, theParentRect.width, 
theParentRect.height);
trace(theParent.x, theParent.y, theParent.width, 
theParent.height);
}   

]]
/mx:Script

mx:Canvas id=theGrandparent width=200 height=200 
backgroundColor=#00ff00
mx:Canvas id=theParent width=100 height=100

  Hi,
 
  I am trying to make a simple mp3 player.
 
  At first i got errors when i was trying to get the ID3 info via the
 Sound class ID3 handler. I fixed it by removing the ID3 handler and audio
 plays OK in Firefox. The problem is that in Internet Explorer 7
  I get the following exception:
 
  SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: Sound.id3:
 http://localhost:8084/Main.swf/[[DYNAMIC]]/2 cannot access
 http://someplace.com/Ganglians%20-%20Hair.mp3. A policy file is
 required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was
 loaded.
 
  Inspecting the Sound object in the debugger shows the following info
 (in the ID3 filed of the sound class):
 
  id3 = exception thrown by getter
 
  Why is flash in IE trying to load ID3 info without me explicitly
 setting the ID3 handler?
 
  Any way to bypass this?
 
  Thanks in advance,
  Fotis

[flexcoders] NativeDragEvents require MouseEvent listener?

2009-03-20 Thread Ken Dunnington
I've just come across a really strange bug (at least I hope it's a bug, as
it seems like bad behavior to me.) - Subclass a Canvas in an ActionScript
component
 - Add listeners for NativeDragEvent.NATIVE_DRAG_ENTER and NATIVE_DRAG_DROP
   (make the listeners simply trace a confirmation message)
 - Place the new component in an AIR app and see if the listeners fire.

In my test, and in an app I'm working on, they don't. Now, add another
listener for any MouseEvent (i.e. CLICK). This listener doesn't have to do
anything, but relaunch the app and - suddenly - the NativeDragEvent
listeners fire!

It doesn't matter if you include flash.events.MouseEvent, or if you make a
reference to a MouseEvent object (to ensure it's compiled in) - you have to
have the listener registered or it won't work.

Can anyone verify this so I know I'm not going crazy? :) Or even better, can
anyone explain this behavior? I'm using Flex SDK 3.3.
Thanks,
 -  Ken

[flexcoders] Re: Flex app fails when moved to server hosting web services

2009-03-20 Thread wubac1
For the sake of completeness for anyone else that may encounter this problem, 
I've found that for gSOAP, you can specify SOAP 1.1 when generating the WSDL 
with soapcpp -1.  The (-1) argument also prevents the import statement from 
being added to the WSDL.

2009-03-20 Thread Peter Farland
I doubt it - I've not yet seen a WSDL that needed to explicitly import the SOAP 
encoding schema for the types section. If you do end up needing it for some 
reason you'd have to establish a proxy or make a local copy of the schema to 
avoid Flash Player sandbox security restrictions.

[flexcoders] AMFPHP Question

2009-03-20 Thread secrit.service

Hi all,

I have following issue, which I don't understand.

I created a button which will add a record to the database. But before
doing so I need to check if a similar record already exists.
This is how I thought it could be solved:

mx:RemoteObject id=myRemoteObject
  mx: method name =existRecord result
=recordExistResultHandler(event)/
mx:RemoteObject/

if (myRemoteObject.existRecord.send(myRecord)) {
  Alert.show (Record already exists)
} else {
 // Insert record into the database
  myRemoteObject.insertRecord.send(myRecord)
}


private function recordExistResultHandler (evt:ResultEvent) : Boolean {


  Alert.show (Result getting back from webserver is  +
evt.result.toString());
  return evt.result;

}


The function existRecord on the webserver checks if a similar record
already exists and sends a Boolean back. This works fine.
To my opinion this should work as follows (supposing record is already
in the database) :
- Before executing my if-statement, it will check the condition (check
if record already exists)
- it send a request existSpell to the webserver which will query the
database
- num_rows is greater dan zero (meaning record already exists), the
webserver will return TRUE to the resultHandler of flex-application
- resultHandler is executed -- an Alert-windows appears telling Result
getting back ...is TRUE  and the value is returned to the
if-statement.
- Because condition is true -- an Alert-window appears telling Record
already exists

BUT ... THIS IS NOT HOW IT WORKS ?
As a matter of fact the if-statement is executed first (Alert 'Record
already exists') and afterwards I get the Alert telling the result of
the webserver???
It's the opposite world.

Am I missing something??

Thanks

[flexcoders] Confusion with custom components

2009-03-20 Thread markgoldin_2000
I have a project that is used as a common library.
I have added it to one of my application projects. Everything looks fine and 
it's working fine. In my common lib I have a number of custome compoments. One 
is a mxml component. When I choose my application mxlml file and switch to 
components Tab and open Custom folder I see all my custom components including 
mxml based one. Then I copy and pasted it into my common lib with a new name. 
so, it's exactly the same except a name. But when I go to Custom I dont see it 
there. I recompiled and rebuilt many times. Still it's not there.
Any idea?

Thanks

 Hey Christian,

 Make sure there are no null chars 0x00 in the String as the display of such 
 Strings are truncated at the first null char.

 What version of Flex are you using?

 Are you using an @font-face to embed your font? If so, can you post a 
 snippet showing the complete @font-face rule?

 Can you provide the fontsmanagers section of your Flex SDK 
 /frameworks/flex-config.xml?

 Also, you could try adding -Dtrace.font as JVM args to get the compiler to 
 print out more debug information about embedding fonts while compiling. If 
 you're using mxmlc.exe, you can add these to the java.args property in the 
 /bin/jvm.config file of your Flex SDK.

[flexcoders] ADG Memory leak.

2009-03-20 Thread Wesley Acheson
I've wasted most of the day trying to figure out why my application was
leaking memory.

 I was dynamically adding and removing columns from the AdvancedDataGrid. I
noticed that it was slowing down a lot.  I naturally assumed that it was my
custom item renderer and even after reading Alex's blog entry about using
the profiler I couldn't figure out what was holding references to my item
renderer.

 Anyway the error continued to happen after I commented out all the code in
my item renderer.  I even changed it to subclass
AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer, still no joy.  So I removed the custom item
renderer and noticed that instead of my ItemRenderer the ADG didn't remove
references to its own item renderer.

Anyway I changed to a standard DataGrid and all worked correctly.  The
references were removed when garbage collection occurred I had to change my
code a bit.

This isn't really a question more of a complaint really.  I don't know if it
was my code or just a problem with the ADG though I suspect the latter.

A couple of things I noticed with the standard DG.  Firstly if setting the
itemrenderer on the DG itself it also uses the same ItemRenderer on the
header rows.  Is this correct behaviour.  Setting the ItemRenderer on the
column seems to keep the normal header renderer.  This I admit has me
confused is this the way its supposed to work?  How would I set all the
cells to a custom IR and leave the headers alone?  It seems inconsistent.

I have read the excellent Articles on Alex's blog.

Anyway that's all.

Regards,

Wes

[flexcoders] Re: AMFPHP Question

2009-03-20 Thread valdhor
The remoteObject is asyncronous. This means that Flex sends the request off to 
the server and keeps going. The result of

myRemoteObject.existRecord.send(myRecord)

will always be true if Flex managed to send the request to the server.

When the result comes back, Flex jumps to the function you have set.

You will need to add your logic to the handler function you have set up.

The way I would do it is to send the record. If the record already exists, send 
an error message back. If it doesn't exist, add it and send a success message 
back. This way, you only send the data once.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Arraycollection to xml

2009-03-20 Thread Tracy Spratt
Further, to the original poster, if you want to update the server using xml,
that suggests that xml is also your read format. Is that the case?  If so,
you must be converting the xml into an ArrayCollection when you retrieve it,
is that so? (this happens automatically with the default resultFormat)

 

If so, then why not skip the ArrayCollection entirely and work with XML or
XMLListCollection, and avoid the xml generation step on the update?

 You could parse the ArrayCollection and build up JSON data, then pass the

RE: [flexcoders] AMFPHP Question

2009-03-20 Thread Tracy Spratt
ALL RPC data service calls, including RemoteObject are *asynchronous*.  And
such calls are non-blocking.  You must invoke your check call, then, in its
result handler, do the conditional logic to  invoke the insert.

Subject: [flexcoders] AMFPHP Question

 

Hi all,

I have following issue, which I don't understand.

I created a button which will add a record to the database. But before doing
so I need to check if a similar record already exists.
This is how I thought it could be solved:

mx:RemoteObject id=myRemoteObject
 mx: method name =existRecord result
=recordExistResultHandler(event)/
mx:RemoteObject/

if (myRemoteObject.existRecord.send(myRecord)) {
 Alert.show (Record already exists)
} else {
// Insert record into the database
 myRemoteObject.insertRecord.send(myRecord)
}


private function recordExistResultHandler (evt:ResultEvent) : Boolean {

 Alert.show (Result getting back from webserver is  +
evt.result.toString());
 return evt.result;

}

The function existRecord on the webserver checks if a similar record already
exists and sends a Boolean back. This works fine.
To my opinion this should work as follows (supposing record is already in
the database) :
- Before executing my if-statement, it will check the condition (check if
record already exists)
- it send a request existSpell to the webserver which will query the
database
- num_rows is greater dan zero (meaning record already exists), the
webserver will return TRUE to the resultHandler of flex-application
- resultHandler is executed -- an Alert-windows appears telling Result
getting back ...is TRUE  and the value is returned to the if-statement.
- Because condition is true -- an Alert-window appears telling Record
already exists

BUT ... THIS IS NOT HOW IT WORKS ?
As a matter of fact the if-statement is executed first (Alert 'Record
already exists') and afterwards I get the Alert telling the result of the
webserver???
It's the opposite world.

Am I missing something??

Thanks





[flexcoders] is a flash app completely contains within its object/div tag?

2009-03-20 Thread gmoniey22
2 questions here...both very similar

1. Can a flash app expand, and in turn, make its enclosing div expand. i.e. if 
the flash app is at the bottom of a page, and it expands, will it increase the 
entire size of the page? I haven't been able to get this to work in my tests, 
so I am guessing the answer is no.

2. Can a flash app pop out and expand? i.e something like a lightbox effect, 
where it will be centered in the screen, in an expanded form. This is similar 
to the question above, but I thought it was worth asking.

Thanks.



RE: [flexcoders] is a flash app completely contains within its object/div tag?

2009-03-20 Thread Tracy Spratt
A Flex app can communicate with and run javascript in the html wrapper, so
if it can be done with javascript, then yes to #1.  The second might more
complicated, but the same answer applies.

 

Beyond that, I am pretty sure a swf is constrained by its object tag.

2009-03-20 Thread Fotis Chatzinikos
There are a few ways you can do what you want.

You could make the flash object 100% both in width and height and then
change the container div,

or you could change the flash dimentions inside the flash object and then do
the same for the containing div via external interface or any other way that
lets you communicate with the html wrapper.

Have done it in the past, but it was long ago and i cannot remember the
exact details

[flexcoders] Is Flex Actionscript 3 programming language for a total newbie?

2009-03-20 Thread fred44455
I am totally new to Flex 3 and AS3. But so far I am not understanding all the 
examples of Flex 3 language reference as well as AS3.I am using a book called 
Flex 3 essential guide with AS3 and I am also using Lynda.com Flex 3 
essentials. But  I am not understanding the all material.  so I am wondering if 
I need to learn a beginner language before starting with Flex3? Or should I get 
more books on Flex   AS3? I never did programming before. Thanks for your time.



RE: [flexcoders] Is Flex Actionscript 3 programming language for a total newbie?

2009-03-20 Thread Tracy Spratt
You should learn the technology that lets you do what you want to do.  Is
there something that you want to build or create?  Do you want to make a
pretty, fancy web site? Do you want to build production shop floor machine
controllers? Why do you want to learn programming?

 

If you just want to start somewhere, then I think Action Script is as good
language to start with as any.  Still I suggest starting off with something
to make.  Maybe a recipe program for your wife, or a birthday reminder
program for you or a car maintenance tracker, or . whatever.  I have never
liked doing tutorials myself, I would rather struggle to make something of
my own, but that is just me.

 

I am not understanding all the examples.  I  think this is in part because
you don't *have* to.  Not understanding is ok if you don't have a goal.  If
the example explains something you need to do, you will study it, and others
like it, until you do understand.  

 

Reading about programming is like reading about music or chess or skiing or
sex.  Just start doing it.

[flexcoders] Re: is a flash app completely contains within its object/div tag?

2009-03-20 Thread gmoniey22
hmm..so its seems that its possible with javascript...I was hoping to avoid 
this so that everything was flash based...

As for my second question...is there no way to have the flash up use some kind 
of z-index and make itself look as if it was on top of the actual html page?

Essentially, I want to have a flash app that looks the a small preview..and 
allows the user to expand it. At that point, something like a traditional 
lightbox would work perfectly, as all attention would be on it, and it would be 
front  center.





RE: [flexcoders] Re: is a flash app completely contains within its object/div tag?

2009-03-20 Thread Tracy Spratt
I can't speak definitively, not having attempted such a thing, but a Flex
app runs in the Flash Player plugin which is instantiated by an object/embed
tag in the browser.  I doubt it can ignore its boundaries.  That said, you
could probably do what you describe with an absolutely positioned div
holding the object/embed tag.
