[flexcoders] Re: strange problem with remote object

[johndoematrix]

hey, thanks guys for helping i have it working now. i googled passing flex 
parameters in remoteobject as tracy suggested and the solution was just as 
valdhor had suggested except valdhor missed the arguments tag otherwise this is 
how it is in my remote object




{username.text}
{password.text}




thanks again guys. keep up the good work

[flexcoders] which one is better to use?

[Vikram Singh]

hello friends...
i am passing data request to php using RemoteObject from flex.
and php send back processed data to Flex. 
which one is better in performance for flex application operation??
1. ArrayCollection
OR
2. XML
which one is easy and fast accesable??
all the data are storing in ArrayCollection and used it to displaying in flex 
components.
I feel that Array object is little bit slow.
Please suggest me the right option.

Thanks.

Ah, no, a Flex form does *not* automatically submit any parameters.  

 

Google: flex pass parameters to remoteObject method  (I think I suggested
this already)

 

Look at the first hit.

Hi thanks for trying to help but i think you are not geting what am trying

thing and i created a button which when clicked fires
"remoteObj.userData.send();" but that didn't work. i guess you did not look
at my updated code. Tracy i am passing arguments to the remote object from
the form inputs (at least thats what i think) so that when my button is

Use two collections.  Every three seconds, copy the entire contents of the

Hello All,

 I have a requirement in my project where I want the list to be sorted 
every three seconds. The flow goes as follows :-

 1.  As soon as a new room gets added or deleted or the user count changes, it 
gets reflected in the room list which is a list component.
 2.  But the room list should be sorted only on 3 seconds duration.
 What is happening is that as soon as I apply the sort and refresh it, 
it starts working. And the sorting happens as soon as some change
   happens to the list dataprovider. Am not able to restrict the sort at 
three seconds interval. I have also tried using disableautoupdate with
   the data provider but that stops the addition of the new rooms also.  I 
also tried setting sort to null after applying first sort but as soon as
   I refresh the null sort, original sort goes off.

   Please help, I am stuck with this thing.

you mouse over the area where both canvases mix together canvas 1 will not get 
mouse/roll events. Any ideas how to change this? (canvas 1 has a button that 
needs mouse events and canvas 2 must listen for the roll events).

[flexcoders] validator.validateall

[Scott]

I've been banging my head on this issue all afternoon/evening...

In all the examples I've seen for this, the Validator.validateall()
seems to be very straight forward.























I've tried several different iterations but the Validator.validateAll()
seems to be the problem.  (I've tried creating an array and pushing the
objects into the array and I've also tried to manually set the objects
in the call (Validator.validateAll([valid1, valid2, valid3]) but I
always get the following error:

"Error: The source attribute must be specified when the property
attribute is specified.

RE: [flexcoders] Bind ComboBox to returning XML (HOW TO)

[Tracy Spratt]

Both suggestions so far have what I consider a bad choice.  That is to use
resultFormat="object" which is the default.  This setting converts your xml
into a tree of dynamic objects.  This has many drawbacks.  

I advise setting resultFormat="e4x" which will preserve the xml you get from
the server.

Private function onResult(event:ResultEvent):void
 Var xmlResult:XML = XML(event.result);
 xlDesigners:XMLList = xmlResult.designer;
 trace(xlDesigners.toXMLString());  //is this what you expect?
 myCombo.dataProvider = xlDesigners;

And you will need to set the ComboBox labelField="@name"

Here is another alternative:


declare an HTTPService like this:

  

and an array collection



and in your actionscript you create the following handler:

private function onResult(event : ResultEvent) : void {
  if (event.result.response.designers == null ||
event.result.response.designers.designer == null) {
designerAC = new ArrayCollection(); // empty array collection
  } else if (event.result.response.designers.designer is ObjectProxy) {
designerAC = new
ArrayCollection([event.result.response.designers.designer]);
  } else {
designerAC = event.result.response.designers.designer as
ArrayCollection;
  }
}

and your combo box would look like something like this:



 That should give you an idea.

Hope that helped

RE: [flexcoders] Re: AIR has different behaviour in XML.appendChild() vs Flex for String values?

[Peter Farland]

You're right, I took a closer look into the generated stub code and in the 
subclass of AbstractWebService - they've by-passed the usual RPC 
service/operation behavior and implemented a custom private call() method (and 
it's in there a new SOAPEncoder is constructed). This service stub really 
should expose a delegate to the SOAPEncoder. So. I think it's still worth 
logging a request in Flex Builder for this generated code to be updated in 
general, but I agree that really SDK-19811 needs to be fixed.

(Note: It seems SDK-19598 has become SDK-19811).

Pete,

Thanks for the tip. I can set xmlSpecialCharsFilter on the service, but it 
doesn't get passed into the encoder.

Looking around at the generated code and that in the 3.2 SDK (maybe it's 
changed for 3.3?) I see that the FlexBuilder-generated code is using a class 
called WSDLOperation, and doesn't seem to be using Operation at all -- and it's 
in Operation (as you noted) that the xmlSpecialCharsFilter is passed down. Am I 
missing something?

[flexcoders] DataService trapping error?

[wayne_badu_johnson]

Hi all

I am tryng to catch an error when dynamically assigning a destination to a 
DataService (snippet below). If the destination is invalid (not in my 
data-management.xml file) then I would like to show a nicer error than what's 
below. FaultEvent, DataServiceFaultEvent don't catch this one. Is there a way

[flexcoders] Re: AIR has different behaviour in XML.appendChild() vs Flex for String values?

[Francis Potter]

Pete,

Thanks for the tip. I can set xmlSpecialCharsFilter on the service, but it 
doesn't get passed into the encoder.

Looking around at the generated code and that in the 3.2 SDK (maybe it's 
changed for 3.3?) I see that the FlexBuilder-generated code is using a class 
called WSDLOperation, and doesn't seem to be using Operation at all -- and it's 
in Operation (as you noted) that the xmlSpecialCharsFilter is passed down. Am I 
missing something?

Francis

Re: [flexcoders] Bind ComboBox to returning XML (HOW TO)

[Fidel Viegas]

Here is another alternative:


declare an HTTPService like this:

  

and an array collection



and in your actionscript you create the following handler:

private function onResult(event : ResultEvent) : void {
  if (event.result.response.designers == null ||
event.result.response.designers.designer == null) {
designerAC = new ArrayCollection(); // empty array collection
  } else if (event.result.response.designers.designer is ObjectProxy) {
designerAC = new
ArrayCollection([event.result.response.designers.designer]);
  } else {
designerAC = event.result.response.designers.designer as ArrayCollection;
  }
}

and your combo box would look like something like this:



 That should give you an idea.

Hope that helped

Fidel.

I agree with Tracy; using an MVC architecture handles this nicely. For
a simpler approach, make the method in ListAndShow public; and call it
from the parent; when the event is heard.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Preloader issue

[carloscarvalhar]

Application will load only when it receives a complete event.

So you can load one swf, listen for INIT_COMPLETE (that's before complete)
preloader.addEventListener(FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE, myHandleInitEnd);

At myHandleInitEnd loads another swf and so on...

then at last preload you dispatch the last event:
dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));

When application detects Event.COMPLETE, i think flex will go to frame 2, so 
preloader isn't reachable anymore, only application.

I didn't test, so I'm not sure, but i think this way can work.

[flexcoders] changing more than the outline on a validator

[Scott]

Ok, I'm going back through my code and adding validators.  Sample code:

This puts a simple and thin red line around the box and if the user
mousse over the box then text appears with what is wrong. The problem is
that it's hard to see this thin red outline.  I tried playing with the
colors but it doesn't show that well.

I need to do one or all of the following:
 - Make the outline thicker
 - Make the whole textbox turn red
 - Make the text turn red

... or any other way to enhance the visual queue to the user that there
is something wrong with the text.

Thanks!

RE: {Disarmed} [flexcoders] How to make "show" event work?

[Scott]

If I'm not mistaken, the component is created and kept in memory once
you call it.

 

I don't think you can call the "show" the way you are trying to call it
in the constructor.

 

Instead you would have to do a creationComplete="Alert.show('test')"

 

The re-calling the function would be dependent on what you are trying to
do.  I believe you would have to create a function in your initializer
function based on a timer.  Or at least that's what I can think of off
the top of my head...

RE: [flexcoders] Re: AIR has different behaviour in XML.appendChild() vs Flex for String values?

[Peter Farland]

https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-19598

Not a perfect solution, but to help out with your issue of modifying generated 
code - your generated Service stub should have a method called getWebService() 
which retuns a subclass of mx.rpc.soap.AbstractWebService. You should be able 
to set the xmlSpecialCharsFilter property on this web service instance, and 
that'll trickle down to any Operation's and then to any SOAPEncoders used by 
these Operations.

I'm glad you wrote this up because I thought I was going crazy.

In my case, I'm using the FlexBuilder-generated web services client code in 
AIR. The SOAPEncoder and XMLEncoder classes actually end up double-escaping any 
XML characters in strings that are being passed up to my web service so a 
simple "<" character becomes "<", which is decoded on the other end as 
"<" instead of as "<".

I can see where it's happening. XMLEncoder.as, line 1784, looks like this:

currentChild.appendChild(xmlSpecialCharsFilter(Object(value)));

The "xmlSpecialCharsFilter" is doing the escaping, then appendChild (as your 
note points out) escapes the string again.

Of course, since the problem is too much escaping, pre-escaping the string 
won't help.

The only way around it in XMLEncoder is to replace the xmllSpecialCharsFilter. 
But in my case, I'm using the FlexBuilder-generated web services code (from 
Data -> Import Web Services). So for now I'm editing that code. Of course that 
means I have to re-edit the code each time my service changes and I regenerate 
it. What a pain.

Here's what I did, in Base.call:

var enc:SOAPEncoder = new SOAPEncoder();
enc.xmlSpecialCharsFilter = function(value:Object):String {return 
value.toString()}
var soap:Object = new Object;

That works, but only in AIR (I assume, not really trying it in Flex).

So there's a hacky workaround. But really this should be fixed. At the very 
least, the FlexBuilder-generated code should be set up to work in either 
environment. As it is, "Import Web Services" will err for an AIR app where 
there is a "<" or "&" in any text property passed to the web service.

Is there a bug for this?

Re: [flexcoders] How much actionscript 3 do you need to know in order to develop in Flex 3

[Jeffry Houser]

 W/ any programming experience, you're going to pick up all you need to 
know about ActionScript 3 in an hour or two.  It's just a slightly 
different syntax (or often the same syntax depending on your language 
experience) than other languages for things like classes, loops, 
conditionals, variable creation, etc...

 I would say there is no reason not to know AS3. 

 The real learning curve is going to be learning the Flex Framework 
classes, how they interact, and how to extend them in the context of the 
framework.  These things are independent of both MXML and ActionScript3.

[flexcoders] Pop-up's close event not firing after multiple clicks on pop-up's components

[blee3467]

I'm a newbie flex developer so I'm hoping someone with more experience
will have some insight into my problem.

I have an application that has a canvas which contains icons for
different tools. The icons are within canvases that I disable when the
users clicks on them. Also when the canvas is clicked on a new pop-up
opens and the currently opened one closes (moves off screen). On the
pop-ups there are different components (buttons, combo boxes,
datagrids). Everything works wonderfully if there is only one set of
clicks on the pop-up, such as selecting from the combobox and clicking
on the button. But if there are multiple clicks the Close event doesn't
fire off and the pop-up isn't removed. So if I select from the combobox
and click the button more than once it doesn't work.
But I can close it by clicking the close button...but sometimes that
doesn't even work. Also, after a pop-up is not closed because of
multiple clicks, clicking on a 3rd tool will close the one that didn't
close when the 2nd tool was clicked on. Clicking a 4th tool will close
the 2nd one and so on, it's like it skips one and then is one behind.
Does that make sense?

I hope I can explain this well enough and hopefully I haven't written
really confused code. The tools are in the main application which calls
an action script that opens the pop-up. The pop-ups have different
options for searches and return the results in another pop-up. When a
new tool icon is clicked all open pop-ups close.

In my actionscript file which opens the pop-up:
private function openListPop():void
{
   // Close all open pop-ups
   closePopups();

   // Open pop-up
   winList= FindHOA(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, FindHOA, false,
PopUpManagerChildList.POPUP));
   winList.x = Application.application.SearchCanvas.x - 350;
   winList.y = 85;
   winList.addEventListener(CloseEvent.CLOSE, closeListPop, false, 0,
true);
}

protected function closeListPop(event : CloseEvent) : void
{
  // Make button in toolbar clickable again
  FindListCan.enabled=true;
  winList.removeEventListener(CloseEvent.CLOSE, closeListPop);
}

Each pop-up implements the following:

package components
{
  import mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject;
  import mx.events.CloseEvent;

  public interface iPopup extends IFlexDisplayObject
  {
   function closeWindow():void;
  }
}

In the pop-up closeWindow function I have:

public function closeWindow():void
  {
   PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
   pop1.dispatchEvent(new CloseEvent(CloseEvent.CLOSE));
  }

Pop1 is a pop-up launched from the 1st pop-up and displays the results
of a query:

private function showPop(content:String, ... args):void
{
   if ( pop1 == null )
   {
// pop up is NOT already open
pop1 = ResultsPop_Image(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,  
ResultsPop_Image, false, PopUpManagerChildList.POPUP));
   pop1.x=80;
   pop1.y=Application.application.height - 350;
   pop1.content = content;
   pop1.address = args[0];
   pop1.image = args[1];
   pop1.addEventListener(CloseEvent.CLOSE, pop1_close);
   }
   else
   {
 // refresh the data on the pop up
 pop1.content = content;
 pop1.address = args[0];
 pop1.image = args[1];
   }
  }

  // Close the pop up with identify results
  protected function pop1_close(event : CloseEvent) : void
  {
pop1 = null;
pop1.removeEventListener(CloseEvent.CLOSE, pop1_close);
  }

I have a function that closes all pop-ups that are open:

  // Call close event on all open popups so that effects run
  private function closePopups():void
  {
   var popupPackage:Array;
   var popup:iPopup;
   for (var i:Number=0; i

[flexcoders] Re: How much actionscript 3 do you need to know in order to develop in Flex 3

[oneworld95]

I'd echo what others have said; I didn't know AS 3 before doing Flex 3. Flex 
has helped me learn AS. If you spend the time to look at examples on the web 
and ask questions here, it will all make sense. Programming is programming; you 
still have iterative and conditional statements; still have functions (now 
called methods in AS). Just the syntax/architecture are a little different if 
you're coming from a non-object oriented programming language.

[flexcoders] Re: How to add more context menu???

[valdhor]

Is there any reason you can't use the workaround they suggest in Jira?

Main Application:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
creationComplete="init()" xmlns:custom="*">
 



myTextArea.as:
package
{
 import flash.events.ContextMenuEvent;
 import flash.text.TextField;
 import flash.ui.ContextMenu;
 import flash.ui.ContextMenuItem;
 import mx.controls.Alert;
 import mx.controls.TextArea;

 public class myTextArea extends TextArea
 {
 private var cm:ContextMenu;
 private var cmi:ContextMenuItem;

 public function myTextArea()
 {
 super();
 callLater(addCTMenu);
 }

 private function addCTMenu():void
 {
 cmi = new ContextMenuItem("View item...", true);
 cmi.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT,
contextMenuItem_menuItemSelect);
 cm = new ContextMenu();
 cm.hideBuiltInItems();
 cm.customItems = [cmi];
 (textField as TextField).contextMenu = cm;
 }

 private function
contextMenuItem_menuItemSelect(evt:ContextMenuEvent):void
 {
 Alert.show("You just used a custom context menu on a
TextArea.");
 }
 }
}

NB: The reason I used callLater was that the textField was not
instanciated when the textArea was first created.


HTH.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: watching and triggering events

Easier, but I would not wait too long to start using an event model.

 

In response to your other question, forget my re-dispatch suggestion.  Use a
data model or call the function directly.

RE: [flexcoders] watching and triggering events

[Scott]

(BTW sorry all for the duplicate message; it looked like the first one
didn't go through on my side so I did a resend )

 

Hmm, interesting thought... I do have a singleton in place to track the
user login.  I could place a bindable variable there to trigger a view
update.  I was trying stay away from the global variable argument.

 

When you say re-dispatch the event; are you saying to  do another
dispatchevent( new event("evtAddedNewContact"); ?  Or should I fire a
different event? Would that trigger the parent to react to the event
over and over in a loop?  

 

 Thanks!

One way to handle issues like this it to have a central bindable data

the model, either by binding for simple values, or by using a

Once you get into and start following the tutorials out there you'll pick up

[flexcoders] Alternative to using ToolTips for popup

[Charles Galpin]

Hi All

I am trying to use ToolTip and ToolTipManager to implement a popup  
that comes up when I click an icon. I want the popup to be associated  
with my object, and it will have additional controls in it. Basically  
looking for similar behavior as a ToolTip in that I want it to popup  
above other components and have it's location tied to my object.


The problem is that I don't want to invoke the tooltip on hover but  
when I want it, and therefore can't intercept the event as the  
examples show to put in my custom ToolTip.   I monkey patched  
ToolTipManagerImpl to fix a problem with the createToolTip method to  
get it to use my custom tooltip and managed to get it working with


var savedClass:Class = ToolTipManager.toolTipClass;
ToolTipManager.toolTipClass = MyTip;
var myTip:MyTip = ToolTipManager.createToolTip(s,10,10) as MyTip;
ToolTipManager.toolTipClass = savedClass;

But aside from the negatives of monkey patching this feels wrong.

Can anyone suggest an alternative method to get the same behavior  
without using ToolTips?


thanks
charles

[flexcoders] Horizontal and Vertical gradients?

Basically, I have an arrow that I draw graphically, it has a vertical gradient 
from the top to the bottom.

I want it to fade in from left to right, so I was wanting to put a horizontal 
gradient on it too...

I am not sure if it is possible to do this, or if this can be done a different 
way.

Here is the arrow: http://www.andrewthorp.com/green-arrow.png

I could just do an inner drop shadow - but the background behind the arrows is 
changing, so a black drop shadow would look pretty weird...

[flexcoders] Re: Using ItemRenderer with IHierarchicalData DataProvider

[yossi.baram]

Thanks :)
I have progress,
When I put my renderer in the AdvancedDataGrid Tag 


I get the Tree with all hierarchy and values, and I can manipulate the cells 
and thats great..

But what I cant find a way to send a property to this renderer this way.

I sent it before when I called this function:

[Bindable]
private function createRendererProvider():void{
var rendererProvider:AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider;
var rendererProviders:Array = new Array();
var columns:ArrayCollection = tableDataProvider.columnNames as 
ArrayCollection;
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(ItemRenderer);
// Sending variables to the renderer constructor
   (renderer_ as ClassFactory).properties 
  =  {tableDataProvider_:tableDataProvider};
   rendererProvider.renderer= renderer_;
   rendererProvider.dataField=colName;
   rendererProviders.push(rendererProvider);
}
for each(var Item:AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider in 
rendererProviders){
adg.rendererProviders.push(Item);
}
}

But using that, produce my problem again not showing the hierarchy :(

Is there a way to put the renderer in AdvancedDataGrid tag and still
use the ClassFactory to send proerties??

Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Using ItemRenderer with IHierarchicalData DataProvider

[yossi.baram]

Greate, its working like a charm..
The solution was to put the renderer inside the AdvancedDataGrid tag
in the mxml.

I created an IFactory var:
public var  renderer_:IFactory= new ClassFactory(ItemRenderer);

Initialized it with the relevant property I need to send 
to the renderer:

(renderer_ as ClassFactory).properties = 
{tableDataProvider_:tableDataProvider};

and then put this variable inside the AdvancedDataGrid tag:


Thanks Amy, your article helped me grasping things,
and Gregorg of course :

RE: [flexcoders] watching and triggering events

[Tracy Spratt]

Have the parent re-dispatch the event and listen for it in "listAndshow"

 

One way to handle issues like this it to have a central bindable data model.
A 'singleton" is often used for this.  Any component anywhere in the app
that needs to react when some data value changes can listen to the model,
either by binding for simple values, or by using a changeWatcher if some
action needs to occur.

 

The data service call result handler (which can be in the model) will set
the appropriate model property, and the child components will respond.

Re: [flexcoders] How much actionscript 3 do you need to know in order to develop in Flex 3

[Wesley Acheson]

Best off thinking of it like the following. Your entire presentation "could"
be in mxml but the logic needs to be in AS.  However you can mix the AS in
mxml files via the script tag.

To do anything non trivial requires AS in my opinion.  The answer really
depends on your definiation of seriously.  90% of the AS you need to know is
quite simple for most cases.

Re: [flexcoders] Negative Mask

[Michael Wills]

Is the mask you want an image or going to be drawn dynamically? Do you 
have a movieclip or some other graphic that will be the mask and you 
want to invert its masking effect so it cuts out instead?

Also, related to what Kenneth posted, which Flash player are you 
targeting? 9 or 10?

The html form is passing arguments to the CFC in hidden input fields.  How
are you passing arguments to the remoteObject method?

they have a invert filter that you can use without having to create your
own one, plus others can be found here

Flex is a mix of mxml and actionscript 3. Now my questions is simple. How much

[flexcoders] watching and triggering events

[Scott]

I think I'm making this more difficult than it should be; or at least I hope I 
am...

I've got a parent viewer called AddContactandReminder.mxml and that has two 
child objects, AddContact.mxml and ListAndShowContacts.mxml.  

When I add a new contact in the contact object I trigger an event 
evtAddedNewContact which is watched in the parent object and triggers the 
AddContact window to close.  I also want it to trigger the 
ListAndShowContacts.mxml to reload the contacts from the server and display the 
new list.  However, since it's another child object at the same level as the 
AddContact.mxml I can't see the evtAddedNewContact fire.  

Is there an easy way to watch this event from ListAndShowContacts?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Flex Preloader issue

[syrgak]

Good day everybody,

I was about to write a custom preloader for my flex application. I had a wide 
overlook on the Internet about this stuff and one moment is still confusing me.

Is there any way to keep the Flex Preloader showing even after the application 
has been already loaded and initialized. I need to do so because I have to load 
a bunch data for the application to work (e.g. set "visible = false" for the 
application while loading data through service). The thing I want to show is a 
custom Preloader showing text status message smth. like "Loading application" 
and then "Loading data"etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you,

Syrgak

[flexcoders] Flex builder compiler

[diehlryan]

I have many, many issues with the Flex Builder compiler.  I will start
with this one: incremental compilation.  The docs state that by default,
FB compiler has incremental compilation turned on, which I don't believe
in the slightest.  If you run a command line build with
-incremental=true, the compiler generates .cache files.  FB doesn't
generate anything, does it just use a different mechanism to detect
changes?

I have a somewhat complex project structure, 1 Flex project with 6
supporting library projects.  If I make a simple change in one of the
library projects, I get a 7 minute compile time as FB goes and rebuilds
everything under the sun.

I have done any optimizations I can think of, including giving FB a full
gig of ram in the heap, using RSLs, closing unused projects, etc.  What
am I missing here?

[flexcoders] ANN: AmFast AMF encoder/decoder for Python released!

[limscoder]

AmFast   is a new AMF0/AMF3
encoder/decoder for Python.

* AmFast's core encoder and decoder are written in C, so it's around
18x faster than PyAmf  .
* The encoder and decoder accept user-defined Python objects that
allow customization of the encoding/decoding process.

* Supports custom class mapping.
* Supports remoting with NetConnection and RemoteObject.
* Remoting headers can be exposed to callable targets to allow for
quick implementation of authentication and other AMF features that rely
on headers.
* Supports data persistence with SQLAlchemy
 , including remotely-loadable lazy-loaded
attributes.
* Supports Actionscript code generation for mapped classes.

[flexcoders] Re: strange problem with remote object

[valdhor]

The problem is that you are not sending any data from Flex. You have

remoteObj.userData.send()

on creationComplete but you do not have any parameters for that function so no 
data is sent. The CF code requires the username and password parameters but 
does not get them.

You obviously want to send this data with your call but you can't if you invoke 
the remoteObject call on creationComplete.

So, the first thing to do is remove the invocation from creationComplete. Next, 
you should add a button to your form and create a function to run on click of 
the button.



private function doLogin():void
{
  remoteObj.userData.send();
}



{username}
{password}



This is only one way of doing it. There are others.

I would recommend using Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com) to debug these 
kinds of errors. You would see very quickly that Flex did not send any data.

[flexcoders] Remove 'maximize'-icon from window (Adobe AIR)?

[bjorn]

I'd think setting maximizable = false in the application xml would remove
the icon from the title bar, however this does not seem to do the trick.
I know I can set showFlexChrome to false and then make my own title bar
(without the maximize button), but this seems a bit backwards when all I
want to do is remove the maximize button.

Tried styling maximizeButtonSkin/restoreButtonSkin with ClassReference(null)
as well. It did work, but messed up the positioning of the minimize button +
seems like a hack.

Anyone know an easy way?

Re: [flexcoders] ADG Memory leak.

[Adrian Williams]

Hi Wesley,

   We work with ADG's extensively including some intense custom 
renderers and have had horrible problems with memory leaks.  Turns out, 
there are known problems with the ADG's internal renderers leaking like 
a sieve.  And as an experiment, we setup a custom renderer that simply 
returned .this and it leaked like crazy. We have a fairly large ADG 
(100+ columns) and every time we'd scroll right to see more columns, 
more renderers would be created in addition to the one's already 
present...and scrolling back left would recreate them again instead of 
using the one's that had already been created...at one point, we had 
several hundred instances of renderers running for a single grid.  
Insanity! And, because the ADG and the DG are maintained by two separate 
teams at Adobe, one is not related to the other and in this case, the DG 
does not have the same leaks as the ADG.


   In the end, we had to write a serious piece of code to manage our 
renderers, which finally rid us of the leaks we were encountering.  I've 
been working on trying to encapsulate our logic so I can post it here as 
I know a lot of other folks have run into the same problems and could 
probably use the help.


Best,
Adrian

[flexcoders] Sorting a list at specified intervals

[Rohit Sharma]

Hello All,

 I have a requirement in my project where I want the list to be
sorted every three seconds. The flow goes as follows :-


   1. As soon as a new room gets added or deleted or the user count changes,
   it gets reflected in the room list which is a list component.
   2. But the room list should be sorted only on 3 seconds duration.

 What is happening is that as soon as I apply the sort and refresh
it, it starts working. And the sorting happens as soon as some change
   happens to the list dataprovider. Am not able to restrict the sort at
three seconds interval. I have also tried using disableautoupdate with
   the data provider but that stops the addition of the new rooms also.
I also tried setting sort to null after applying first sort but as soon as
   I refresh the null sort, original sort goes off.

   Please help, I am stuck with this thing.

 Rohit Sharma

[flexcoders] compc: using -namespace and -include-sources together cause circular inheritance

[ltkavanagh]

Hi.

I am trying to write an Ant script to complie a swc and am stuck on the 
following problem:

I used -include-sources to specify the src directory
I have a manifest.xml - all fine and dandy
I have correctly specified the namespace using -namespace and 
-include-namespaces

However I am getting an error for each component defined in the manifast. 
'Error: The definition is in circular inheritance.'

The library compiles fine using the FB builder (ie not using the Ant script). 
Here i defined the manifest using the compiler section of the Properties dialog.

Also, if in the Ant script I change -include-sources to -include-classes and 
then use a config xml to list the classes then it compiles successfully.

For convenience I would prefer to use -include-sources rather than 
-include-classes but I just can't get it to work.

Can anyone explain to me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

[flexcoders] mouse events

[Kenneth Sutherland]

I'm having what seems to be a very trivial issue (maybe its just a
Monday morning issue), I have 2 canvas containers inside another canvas.
See picture for explanation. Canvas 2 has a alpha value so you can see
canvas 1, but when you mouse over the area where both canvases mix
together canvas 1 will not get mouse/roll events. Any ideas how to
change this? (canvas 1 has a button that needs mouse events and canvas 2
must listen for the roll events).

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Using ItemRenderer with IHierarchicalData DataProvider

[Gregor Kiddie]

 Looking at the renderers source, it is a bit manky internally, though
what you've posted shouldn't cause too many problems. Is your renderer
doing anything else? Can you post the whole class?

[flexcoders] Re: Using ItemRenderer with IHierarchicalData DataProvider

[yossi.baram]

It make sense what you asked,
Yes it looks good, with hierarchy, when I eliminate the Itemrenderer call, my 
data structure is as in the example:
http://inovativeflexdevolopment.blogspot.com/2008/07/flex3-dynamic-population-of\-data-in.html

I am building a flat data (a list of rows) with parentId and type 
(child/parent) in my java server using blazeds i send it by RemoteObject to the 
Flex app.
Then I use;
ohd = new ObjectHierarchicalData(rows);
adg.dataProvider = ohd;

If I dont use the Itemrenderer the Treegrid looks good with all data and 
correct hierarchy,

Please advise if you need some thing else,

Thanks for your time :)

Not to be funny, but does the structure look right when you aren't using
a custom renderer? I.e. is your data correct?

Thanks,
Well, I tried extending AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer &
IDropInListItemRenderer

and my set data I'm overriding:
override public function set data(value:Object):void {

super.data = value;
if (this.listData)
{
// get the owner AdvnacedDataGrid
var listOwner:AdvancedDataGrid = AdvancedDataGrid(this.listData.owner); 
if (listData!=null && data != null)
{ 
this.background = true;
this.backgroundColor = 0xFFB6B6;
}
} 
}

As you can see for the example its just should paint the rows.

But still the data is flat I cannot see child1 as the parent :(((

can you give me simple example how should set data() should look like to
allow me manipulation on the data but still preserve the hierarchy?

I tried many things but nothing

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Using ItemRenderer with IHierarchicalData DataProvider

[Gregor Kiddie]

You are losing the indentation and icon because the item renderer
handles all that for you.

Either extend the AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer
(http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/advancedDataGridCl
asses/AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer.html ) and include what you
need, or see if the renderer provider can give you any help
(http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/advancedDataGridCl
asses/AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider.html ).

If neither of these do, you will have to implement the indentation and
icon stuff yourself.

Hi,

I test Flex code and php server code in same server and it works fine.I
use the following line code.

private var amf:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject();

amf.source = "something.something";
amf.destination ="something";
amf.endpoint = "http://localhost/amfphp/amfphp/gateway.php
 ";

I use same Flex code and different endpoint after I move the same php
code to other server.

private var amf:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject();

amf.source = "something.something";
amf.destination ="something";
amf.endpoint = "http://192.168.0.188/amfphp/amfphp/gateway.php
 ";

I get the error:

RPC Fault faultString="Send failed" faultCode="Client.Error.MessageSend"
faultDetail="Channel.Security.Error error Error #2048: Security sandbox

which config file I have to change to make it work.
Thanks for your help.

RE: [flexcoders] Architecting for extensibility

[Gregor Kiddie]

If your renderers are all in a library, they all get included AFAIK. So
separate them out and use compc rather than mxmlc to generate the swf
for them.

Subject: [flexcoders] Architecting for extensibility

 

I'm looking for some architecture advise.

My AIR application has the ability to render certain kinds of data, each
of which has a unique string descriptor (e.g. "red"). I would like to
make it easy for others to add renderers for other kinds of data. To
accomplish this, I created a renderer directory (Object) where the data
descriptor is a key to the class path for the renderer and I planned to
make extensive use of dynamic instantiation - when I ran into "red"
data, I could just look up the "red" renderer, instantiate it, etc. My
thinking was that the new developer would just need to create a renderer
that implemented the requiste interface, create an entry in the
directory, and would need very minimal understanding of the rest of the
architecture to get their data to render. But I ran into the problem
described here:
http://thillerson.wordpress.com/2007/03/01/runtime-class-instantiation-i
n-actionscript-30/
  
If you don't want to read it all, basically you need to make sure the
referenced class has been loaded into your swf before you try to
reference it (at least, that's my understanding). So, in my directory, I
created something that creates and then destroys (for memory
conservation) an instance of each renderer, and now my directory looks
something like this: 

public class RendererDirectory {

private var dir:Object { red:"com.blah.renderers.MyRenderer",
blue:"com.joedata.renderers.BlueRenderer", ...};

// to make sure everything is in .swf
private static function kluge():void {

var a:Array = [new MyRenderer(), new BlueRenderer(), ...];
a = null;

}

public function getRenderer(datakey:String):IMyInterface {

// all error checking omitted for brevity
var classPath:String = dir[datakey];
var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName(classPath) as Class;
return new classRef();

}

} 

I'm looking for advise on whether there is a better way to accomplish my
big picture goal (ease of extensibility) or improve on my current scheme
in some way.

TIA!

[flexcoders] ItemRenderer unscaledHeight = NaN?

[Ken Dunnington]

I've got a fairly simple custom itemRenderer inside a TileList that's giving
me problems. The renderer is simply an HBox with an Image and a few Label
controls. The problem is the renderers all show up squished at the top of
the list, piled on top of each other. I've overridden updateDisplayList()
and can see that unscaledWidth is being set properly, but unscaledHeight is
always NaN. I've set the width and height explicity in the renderer, as well
as set columnWidth and rowHeight in the TileList. I've also set maxColumns,
since I need it to be limited to 2 columns (side question: does columnCount
do anything in a TileList?) I've tried converting the renderer to a Canvas,
overriding measure(), tried every combination of
width/height/columnWidth/rowHeight settings, but nothing seems to work. The
highlights show up in the TileList where they should be, but none of the
renderers display properly.
I think the problem has to be in the TileList, as I've tried using the built
in renderer, and that also screws up. Has anybody ever seen anything like
this before? I've used TileLists in the past, and never had this problem.
I'm using AIR 1.5, and the TileList is rendering itself properly (if I set a
background color, I can see it occupies the proper space.)

[flexcoders] Re: strange problem with remote object

[johndoematrix]

guys i just read up on this and am doing it the same way as the example. here 
is the example i refered to just to be sure i got this right.

Passing parameters using a form

To pass parameters to components using an HTML or ColdFusion form, the names of 
the client input controls must match the names of the parameter definition in 
the component file.
To pass parameters using a form:

   1. Open the corpFind.cfm file and modify the code so that it appears as 
follows:

  Find People and Products
  
Enter employee's last Name:



  
  
Enter maximum product price:



  

  In the example, the form tag action attribute points to the corpQuery 
component. The input tags invoke the component method.
   2. Open corpQuery.cfc and add access="remote" to each cffunction tag, as the 
following example shows:

  

   
   
 SELECT LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, EMAIL
 FROM tblEmployees
WHERE LASTNAME LIKE '#arguments.lastName#'
   
   Results filtered by #arguments.lastName#:
   


 
  
 SELECT ItemName, ItemDescription, ItemCost
 FROM tblItems
WHERE ItemCost <= #arguments.cost#
   
   Results filtered by #arguments.cost#:
   

  

  In this example, the cffunction access attribute lets remote clients, 
such as web browsers and Flash applications, to access component methods.

this is not different from what am doing the only difference may is that am 
using a flex form but i think that doesn't matter.
