[flexcoders] database question
hi i know this is not a flex question but is related to flex anyway. i have an access database with two tables A and B. the two are related in that the primary key of A(which is autonumber) is related to the foreign key in B. not i would like that when i insert data in the two tables A and B the foreign key of B is set to equal to the auto generated Primary key of A. How can i do this with coldfusion. i dont wanna do it in access itself but in the coldfusion query. thanks

[flexcoders] Need Help For Designing Modular Application
Hello Friends, We are in process of evaluating Flex for a Multi-Form database application. The Target application will have almost 100+ forms for data-entry, query, report generation. it is migration of a delphi-firebird lan based client-server desktop application to web. The typical interface is on left side there will a menu in form of tree-view and on right side there will be a MDICanvas will have multiple MDIpanels. Each MDIpanel will be a independent form containing data-base connection and controls reprenting data-fields. As per studies till date we arrived at conclusion that having all the forms in a single swf will make initial loading of application will be much longer so we would like know how we can break up a single swf in smaller swfs which will be loaded on demand but main application and each form need to share some common data may be passed as parameters to function creating and displaying the MDIPanel such as URL to database, company name etc. etc. Can somebody give us some idea whether this is possible in flex and if possible how. one can give URLs of reading material or example application. We plan to prepare a small pilot application by 15th of April to demonstrate to our prospective client. We are team of software professional with about 10/15 years experience in developing and implementing Lan based Client-server desktop applications using front end delphi and back ends like firebird oracle mssql server. We design application where main application exe contains main form with menu and other forms are grouped in to 5/6 dlls of size 2 to 3 MB and are created on demand and destryed when closed. We need similar functionality with flex too so that load times and memory is used optimistically. Thanks for reading this long mail and hope u respond to help us out best regards. Raja Patil

Re: [flexcoders] ComboBox SelectedItem why not inspectable.
Looking at the ComboBox code, it looks like the inspectable metadata is set to none. I assume that hides it from code hinting.

RE: [flexcoders] database question
You can simply do a select on the first 'id' if your query is ordered correctly, like: Select top1 id from table order by id desc Or there may be a function in access to return the latest ID. In MS SQL and MySql there are similar functions such as: SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() AS lastInsertID FROM mytable Simply do another insert on the second table then.

[flexcoders] Re: Creating RemoteObject in ActionScript as dataProvider for ComboBox
ok, read that.
I DID search via Nabble first but I searched on RemoteObject in
ActionoScript. I'm going to do webOrb after I get a few things with CF
figured out. (CF setup just seems to have a lot fewer moving partswhich is
the level I need right now).
Here is where I am now. I thought it was the toString on the event.result
that I was missing but I added that and my comboBox is still empty. This all
works in mxml so its not the .cfc file or my query etc. Its a problem with my
actionscript. Here is the latest iteration of the code:
(its just adding a ComboBox in reaction to a button-click, and then populating
that ComboBox through the results of an sql query to oracle as executed by cold
fusion. The sql query returns a list of names (single column) and the column
name is Label)

I mean they must have put that in there for a reason? I can't fathom it. Not on this work iteration but on one serveral weeks back I lost a lot of time because I believed the only way I could deal with the comboBox was selected item. So I rewrote a lot of my classes to also return an index. Now I'm mostly working with AS code rather than MXML code and I think my grip on how things work internally is better so its not so much of an issue.

RE: [flexcoders] ComboBox SelectedItem why not inspectable.
Be aware that there are only two cases where you can successfully set a ComboBox using selectedItem. One is that the dataProvider items must be simple text or numerical values. If the dataProvider items are objects (or xml), then the item you assign must be a *reference to an item in the dataProvider*. You can not, for example set it to a new object with the same property values. If you re-assign the dataProvider, then any vars holding an object will no longer be rererences to the dataProvider.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Creating RemoteObject in ActionScript as dataProvider for ComboBox
creationComplete only fires once, as soon as the component is created.
You want to get the data returned from the call, so you need to use the
result event instead.

Re: [flexcoders] Best approach for Dynamic UI generation from XML...
We do quite a bit of this at Truviso to dynamically generate Flex-based reports and live dashboards based on XML definitions. I think the details of how we do this could be improved, but the core structure is reasonably straightforward, through the magic of recursion. Basically, we have two types of components: Containers and Widgets. A Widget takes its XML definition and transforms our custom XML model to custom Flex components through a small series of (unfortunately) manual steps. A Container walks through its child definitions in the XML and instantiates new Containers or Widgets as appropriate. Having Factories for both Containers and Widgets helps keeps the coupling down. Are there limits on the sorts of things expected from your XML layer, or have you been given the daunting task of re-implementing mxmlc in actionscript? -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: Ilam Mougy imo...@yahoo.com Reply-to: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Best approach for Dynamic UI generation from XML...

[flexcoders] Even Better Scrollable Menus for Flex Problem
This question is probably just for Doug McCune if he is watching ;-} I really like the idea behind the Scrollable Menus component (http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/01/26/even-better-scrollable-menus-for-flex/). Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug in the ScrollableMenuBar getMenuAt() code. If you click on a menu and then click the menu again (or click somewhere else) to close the menu, the menu bar remembers that you showed the menu and will auto open any other menus. This also means that if you want to open the original menu again, you have to click twice. This is counter intuitive and not the way the built in MenuBar works. I have dug into the code to see if I can figure out what the problem is but nothing I have tried so far works. It should work properly as the overrided getMenuAt() function pretty much is the same as the Flex getMenuAt() function. The menuHide event fires normally when you click outside the menu and is dispatched properly. I am obviously missing something. Any help from anyone is most appreciated. Steve
[flexcoders] Firefox: Multi-select not working. Anyone have a work-around?
It's a well-known issue that you can't multi-select in AdvancedDataGrid in Firefox, if you have wmode=transparent. This site: http://www.johanvanmol.org/content/view/47/41/ gives a nice general work-around for Flash, but after spending hours wading through the AdvancedDataGrid code, I haven't been able to figure out an easy work-around specific to that class. Has anyone else written one? I've narrowed it down to AdvancedListBase::mouseDownHandler, which calls selectItem() with bad values for event.shiftKey and event.ctrlKey. I could just override selectItem(), but it's called in other places that deliberately pass in null, so it would be hard to avoid breaking deselect.

If the dataProvider items are objects (or xml), then the item you assign must be a **reference to an item in the dataProvider**. You can not, for example set it to a new object with the same property values. If you re-assign the dataProvider, then any vars holding an object will no longer be rererences to the dataProvider. Thats the use case though where I'm most often using it though. I'd imagine that should cover 90% of the use cases though after all your only setting a fixed item in a list. I mean cloning is difficult enough in flex so I'd imagine a clone of an object wouldn't usually be used for selected item.

Not on this work iteration but on one serveral weeks back I lost a lot of time because I believed the only way I could deal with the comboBox was selected item. So I rewrote a lot of my classes to also return an index. Now I'm mostly working with AS code rather than MXML code and I think my grip on how things work internally is better so its not so much of an issue. I know I should look up the language refrence for all the classes I use but to be honest who really has time for that? /rant Thanks, Jeffry Regards, Wes On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 2:32 PM, Jeffry Houser j...@farcryfly.com wrote: Looking at the ComboBox code, it looks like the inspectable metadata is set to none.

[flexcoders] SDK 3.3 and flash.* imports
I am having a problem with the Eclipse IDE since upgrading to SDK 3.3. Not only does code complete no longer work for any flash.* packages, but when I compile, it periodically removes all flash.* import statements in my .as files, meaning I have to go back and manually add those to get the project to compile. Its killing my productivity. Anyone got ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks, Shane
[flexcoders] Newbie SOA question
I would like to provide a solution to maintaining login state over multiple calls to my .NET web service layer. So basically, the user logs in, then stores a login token internally on the Flex side so that each web service call can be authenticated as being made by someone who has already logged in to the system. Does anyone have any ideas on how to approach this? My initial approach was to cache the user's username/password and authenticate on each web service call (Direct Authentication). I was told, for obvious reasons, that this is insecure method and requires database hit each call. I am trying to implement WSE 3.0 enabled web services on the .NET side. Is this an SSO problem, or should I be using STS/Brokered Authentication approach? We just started our upgrade to VS2008, so maybe I should just pursue WCF methods instead? Any experiences with this would be greatly appreciated. TIA, variable
RE: [flexcoders] Newbie SOA question
I have a lot to learn about security, and had difficulty wading through all of the levels and options, so I devised my own programmatic solution. When a user logs in from the Flex app (md5 hash on the password), I create a sessionId, store it in a hashtable in the .net app, and pass it back to the Flex app. The Flex app sends this token with each call. The server checks the passed in session id and compares the timestamp to the current time. If it is within the timeout period specified, it updates the timestamp and authorizes the call. If authorization fails, the user must log in again. I am certainly open to a better approach.

[flexcoders] parent MenuItem in hierarchical menus?
Is there an easy way to get a reference to the parent MenuItem from an itemClick MenuEvent? I know I can use parentMenu and then dig around in the data descriptor, but it seems like there should be a cleaner way to do this... Specifically, I want to change my parent MenuItem's label when a certain child is chosen to reflect that selection. E.g., [stuff|v] -food --apples --oranges --milkshakes -cars --flying --not flying --amphibious I want each level to remember the last selection, so if the user selects food - oranges and then cars - flying, the menu would look something like [stuff|v] -food (oranges) --apples --oranges --milkshakes -cars (flying) --flying --not flying --amphibious Or would this be easier through a custom data descriptor? -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com
Re: [flexcoders] Finding the stage xy of a nested object
Hi Tracy Thanks. Yes, I tried localToGlobal, however it's not really as helpful as I hoped it might be. It doesn't seem to work within an embedded module, for instance (it gives you the coordinates relative to the module container by the look). I thought Flash would know the stage.x and y of everything and so there'd be some way to readily access this but I guess not...will I have to roll my own solution?

[flexcoders] Flash Player or IE bug
I ran into an issue and I think it is being caused by the Flash Player. The basics of the issue is that if you close a browser window while the player is downloading a file, sometimes it causes IE to completely quit working. Once this happens you have to close IE entirely to get it to work again. I have posted a page with instructions on how to reproduce this here: http://artjumble.com/FlashIETest.html I have confirmed this on XP and Vista with IE 7. Anyone else run into this, know of any workarounds/fixes? (I know, use FF...)

[flexcoders] Using later SDKs with Flex 3
Hi I have a flex 3 licence but I see there is a flex 3.2 (and possibly later sdk). Will that work with my flex 3 flex builder? Do I need to download a whole new flexbuilder or just the sdk or do i have to pay more money to the good folks at Adobe?
Re: [flexcoders] Using later SDKs with Flex 3
You should be able to update your Flex Builder to 3.0.2, and then download the Flex 3.3 SDK from adobe.com (since there is no corresponding Flex Builder update). No need to pay anything, but you will need 3.0.2 for your 3.3 SDK to work.
