You can also try lynda.com.  They have excellent video's.  They even have Joey 
Lott teaching ActionScript 3.0 (and not framework specific at that!).  They 
have about 50 hours of flex traning alone. They also have Flash CS4 (CS3 and 
older) training. Dreamweaver training.  ColdFusion 8 training. etc.  Very good 
and high quality video.


$25 a month though.   However, I was  watching the free ones last night (approx 
first 5 lessons of each course are free) and they are  very good. lynda.com 
covers  all the Adobe CS software (even older versions)


designprovideo's also has some adobe cs4 training but not nearly as  much as  
lynda.com does.

RE: [flexcoders] FLEX defaut xml parser issue with Auto Exponential conversion issue

2009-04-07 Thread Tracy Spratt

You have left the resultFormat at its default value which is "object".  This
causes Flex to convert your xml into a tree of dynamic objects.  This has
many side effects, among which is attempting to guess at the data type from
the content, and it often guesses wrong.

 

Set resultFormat="e4x" and get your data unmodified, and handle the
datatyping yourself.

Just have two lists; with buttons between them. I assume you can deal 
with the layout.

When the "move left" button is clicked do something like this in the 
click handler:

list2.dataProvider.addItem(list1.dataProvider.getItemAt(list1.selectedIndex)
)
list1.dataProvider.removeItemAt(list1.selectedIndex);

Basically, just add the item to the destination list and remove it from 
the source list.

Subject: [flexcoders] override "commitSelectedIndex" for ViewStack component

 






Hi,

I am sure this has been discussed somewhere by someone before. So excuse me
if this is an old topic. But what I want is when the selectedIndex changes
in a ViewStack component, instead of the default behavior of waiting until
the current selected child completes its hideEffect to start the showEffect
of the new selected child, I would like to play both effects concurrently
(as a compound parallel effect).

So I guess what I need to do is to override the "commitSelectedIndex" method
in ViewStack for my subclass. But by looking at the code, I am convinced
it's a little bit over my head at least for now. So I'd love some lead (the
more detailed the better;)) as to how I should override the method. Sample
code is much appreciated. 

Thanks a lot.

[flexcoders] Animated Flash Component Resizing when used as Button Skin

2009-04-07 Thread flexcoder1969

I am trying to skin the overSkin of a Flex Button component with an animated 
Flash .swc component. (Actually, an Accordion Header, but for all practical 
purposes the same.)

All works completely fine, in most cases.  The problem I run into is when I 
have any objects in the Flash animation moving on and off stage.  When this 
happens, although the objects cannot be seen when moved off-stage, the viewable 
area of the Flash animation scales down in either direction, or both, to make 
room in the button for the objects off stage.

If I play the animation directly in the application, or a Canvas, everything 
works fine and no scaling occurs.  But for a Button, where I really need it, I 
get the constant scaling back and forth as the Flash movie runs.  This can be 
REALLY annoying when trying to click on a button! (Or you find that you are no 
longer "over" the button (because it scaled down) so you get flicker back and 
forth between the Up and Over states.)

Any ideas on how I can keep this from happening, either on the Flash or Flex 
side would be much appreciated.

Pertinant Code:

[Bindable]
[Embed(source="assets//btn_StaticHollywood.jpg")]
private var Film:Class;

[Bindable]
[Embed(skinClass="fc.HollywoodWithSearchlights")]
private var FilmOver:Class;

animatedButton.setStyle("upSkin", Film);
animatedButton.setStyle("overSkin", FilmOver);


Note: I tried all assortments of setting dimensions I believe.

Remember, the Flash component has objects that move in and off the stage from 
both directions, and this is the cause of the automatic resizing of the Button 
when it runs.

private function Load():void
{
  msg = Alert.show("Wait to update...");
  ...
}
// then call remove when finish work

But it is error in msg.deletePopUp();

How do I do in this case? Or if I don't use Alert message, what the component I

[flexcoders] Unrecognized binding style 'null'

2009-04-07 Thread skywalkr42

Hi all,

Apologies if this is a daft question, however I've searched high and low, and 
no-one appears to have a conclusive answer, so, here goes.

In a nutshell, when attempting to use my webservice, I always get the error 
message

Unrecognized binding style 'null'. Only 'document' and 'rpc' styles are 
supported.

This occurs at the initial wsdl pullback.

Here's a trimmed version of my wsdl :


http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; 
xmlns:tns="http://blah/soap/wsdl?model=orders"; 
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; 
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; 
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; 
targetNamespace="http://blah/soap/wsdl?model=orders"; name="ordersModel">
































http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; 
style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; name="getOrder">
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/";>
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; use="encoded" 
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/";>
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; use="encoded" 
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>




http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; 
name="ordersModelPort" binding="tns:ordersModelBinding">
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; 
location="http://blah/soap/?model=orders"/>





AS is very simple

public function go():void {
   WS = new WebService();
   WS.wsdl = 
"http://max.shoon.blucommerce.beta.blubolt.com/oversight/soap/wsdl?model=orders";
   WS.getOrder.addEventListener("result", resultHandler);
   WS.getOrder.addEventListener("fault", faultHandler);
   WS.addEventListener("load", loadHandler);
   WS.loadWSDL();
}

public function loadHandler(event:LoadEvent):void {
WS.getOrder();
}

and the result handler just spits the raw result in xml into a textarea. Or at 
any rate it should.

I've tested using a proxy etc., and can see that the WSDL is being returned 
correctly, but am utterly stumped as to why flex dislikes it quite so much.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Cheers,

Max

[flexcoders] Re: Context Menu Bug in FlashPlayer ?

2009-04-07 Thread jmfillman

I did file a bug with Adobe. Hopefully it'll be addressed soon.

Interesting that it was encountered in FlashPlayer 9. I don't recall which 
version of 9 I had, but I did not encounter this error until I went to 
FlashPlayer 10.

For my application, it is critical that particular conectMenu items only appear 
when right-clicking on certain display items. Once the mouse moves off of the 
item, that custom item should no longer be available. If there is a better way 
to accomplish this, I would be very interested in exploring it.

[flexcoders] Image Control -> BitmapData -> Resize -> JPEG Encoder...changes image coloring?

2009-04-07 Thread Rob Kunkle

Hi Flex Coders -

I'm working on an app that does some image resizing and encoding inside of 
flash...i've come across a real head scratcher here.

The resulting file is very similar to images that have been resized and 
compressed in a normal editor...say photoshop or infranview. *Except* the 
coloration is very different than the original image.

I'm not sure what is happening here, but it seems like the resized images are a 
little flatter and don't have the same richness of colors as the originals or 
the images that have been resized with a normal editor. 

Has anyone come across something similar or have even a guess as to what might 
be causing this? Maybe the color space changed?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Freelance / Contract Jobs

2009-04-07 Thread Kyle

Thanks for the input guys. I actually started the local Adobe Flash users group 
in San Diego where I live about a year and a half ago, so I've already been 
using that as a resource.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: When is Gumbo expiration date?

2009-04-07 Thread Matt Chotin

I think we may have originally thought we'd have a beta out earlier, but things 
change.  Trust me, we're not getting that many bug reports from folks, remember 
that it was only available to folks who attended MAX.  Beta is likely to be in 
June.

Hi,

the "computer date" tip does work.

But I don't really understand why this alpha version has an expiration date.

Was it planned to release the beta version before the March 31st deadline ?

And what about bug reports if nobody can test it anymore ?

I tried to reactivate the Gumbo builder with my flex builder 3 serial number 
but i doesn't work...

I just want to know if there is really no solution.

Or if you're going to announce the beta release tomorrow ?

please :)

 Really, I've done every project that way; with a local environment and 
a 'production' environment.  Many of my clients also have staging 
servers, where multiple developers can 'collaborate' for testing / 
integration purposes before making it live. 

 If I understand correctly, you are trying to create a Flex Builder 
Project, with ColdFusion as the server type.  Is that correct? 

 The only thing that specifying the server type does is to add a 
services argument, which points to the services-config.xml file.  Any 
file on your local hard drive will do.

 Other than the Flex Jobs group which someone else pointed to, you can 
also try networking at your local user group and/or other local groups 
such as your local chamber of commerce. 

 You can also register at www.flex.org as a consultant, although I find 
most of the requests I get coming from that site have been sent to 
hundreds of people and they never contact you more than once.

[flexcoders] clear concise article/tutorial on setting up CFC project in Flex Builder?

2009-04-07 Thread dmkramerica

I have full admin priv to CF, and the entire server for that matter, and 
Gassner's articles on lynda.com only describe setting up Cold Fusion projects 
in a local environment - which is like super rare in reality. The other 
information I find seems inconsistent and sometimes contrary so far...for 
instance one article tells me to make sure the xml config files are one 
location, and when I look it's not there, but there are five other copies in 
other folders yet when I try using those paths in the CF project set up in FB3 
none of them work, so...I'm stuck in the CF project wizard in Flex Builder 3.

How do you set up a Cold Fusion project in Flex Builder and verify the server 
communication so you can finish the wizard? (This seems straightforward but the 
information on it isn't.)

or...

Do I even need this IDE setup stuff, can't I just get my swf to talk to my CFC 
without this wizard? ( which would blow because of all niceties of having 
immediate feedback in an IDE while developing, but just getting them talking is 
good enough for me at this point.)

Anyone?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: DataGrid Column Sort Prevents Drag From Updating DataProvider

2009-04-07 Thread Alex Harui

For some XML:



Alex
Haruie

...

It would be faster to have a class:

Class Person
{
Public var firstName:String;
Public var lastName:String;
}

and loop through the XML once, making an array of Persons, and using 
ArrayCollection instead of XMLListCollection and doing the sorting and copying 
via toArray(). XML property access is orders of magnitude slower than class 
instance property access and the number of accesses required in sorting are 
significant.  This strategy will have the advantage of fully divesting itself 
from the original XML.  XMLLists have some ties back to the original XML and 
some manipulations might cause change notifications and maybe some of the 
problems you're seeing.

Whenever you need the XML again, maybe when reporting back to the server, you 
create the XML from the array of class instances.

[flexcoders] Re: Get Variables from Popup

2009-04-07 Thread Tim Hoff

Hi Christophe,

Using events to communicate, and pass data, from the popup to the
application is regarded as the most loosly coupled method.  If you
choose not to add event listeners to the popup directly, you'll have to
listen for the events by adding listeners to
Application.application.systemManager.  This is because popups are not
children of the application container; thus events don't bubble in a
normal fashion.

RE: [flexcoders] Advanced datagrid vs Remote object

2009-04-07 Thread Tracy Spratt

Call your RO method from a dataGrid change handler.

 

Use AsyncToken to identify the call.  I usually just set a string property,
like "called = 'firstcall'".  There are other options.

 

In the resultHandler, get the AsyncToken from the event, and get the value
of "callid". Use switch() to determine the processing for the call.  If this
result is from 'firstcall', then make the second method call.  If the
second, do whatever you need.

RE: [flexcoders] Get Variables from Popup

2009-04-07 Thread Tracy Spratt

There are several ways to do this.  I typically expose the values I want in
public properties of the popup, then dispatch a named event on close, and
access the public values in the handler.

 

If you want to get the values before closing, dispatch events when they are
set.

 

You can also access the main app using Application.application, or pass in a
reference to the component that creates the popup, and set values directly.
Or pass in a callback function.

Hi Alex

I gave it a try and I can see what you are getting at but I would be grateful 
for a bit more help.

What I want to do is to -

1. Make copy of the XMLListCollection dataprovider in an array by using 
toArray();

2. Remove the sort for XMLListCollection dataprovider.

3. Copy the data back from the array into the XMLListCollection.

I tried the following(InitiativeList is the XMLListCollection):

var iniCopy:Array = InitiativeList.toArray();
var iniXMLCopy:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection();

InitiativeList.sort = null;

for (var i:int = 0; i < iniCopy.length; i++) {
iniXMLCopy.addItemAt(iniCopy[i],i);
}

InitiativeList = new XMLListCollection(XMLList(iniXMLCopy.toXMLString()));

InitiativeList.refresh();

It sort of works but for some reason the first drag I do does not work but then 
subsequent ones do.

Could you give me an idea of where I am going wrong - I guess there is a better 
way than the long winded method I have used anyway.

Thanks a lot.

RE: [flexcoders] select non-top level items in a hierarchical menu

Right, but that click does *not* cascade through parent menus--this is
the problem. If I have a hierarchy, I can only use this trick on the
top-most menu unless I add handlers to all menus in the chain, and I'm
not sure how to find these a priori...

The Menu will dispatch a plain “click” event for the parent nodes.
Since menu options also dispatch “click”, you need to check for tht in
the handler.

I need the ability to select non-leaf items in a hierarchical menu--is
this doable? Basically, suppose I have a dataProvider like this:

[ { label: 'a' },
{ label: 'b', children: [ { label: '1' }, { label: '2' } ] } ]

I want to be able to select a, b, 1, or 2. I can do exactly what I want
with a Tree, but I was hoping for something more compact. It seems that
selecting a node that has children does not dispatch an ITEM_CLICK
event: it just automatically opens the submenu. I'd like to open/close
the submenu on rollOver/rollOut, and dispatch a normal ITEM_CLICK for
that item on a click.

Re: [flexcoders] Pros and Cons of Writing Air UI's in Pure Flash

2009-04-07 Thread Scott Delap

I don't disagree.  I have the same personal sentiment.  I hate walling  
a major portion of our UI off just for the sake of iteration speed.   
I've tried backporting the Flex4 compiler items but they didn't really  
help.  I also can't seem to find a magic bullet in regards to the  
compiler.  I've patched it myself and our compilation time seems to be  
relative spread out between embedded assets, classes, etc.

On Apr 6, 2009, at 10:25 PM, Josh McDonald wrote:

Personally, I'd think long and hard before doing something like  
this. It really depends on how much of the actual "work" is in the

between these layers.


Perhaps you can get the designers to build simpler components  
(buttons, window decorations, etc) in Flash using the FCK, and lay  
them out with MXML and Builder. If they're building SWCs with the  
FCK at least they can expose [Event] metadata and such, which will  
make life easier for whoever needs to tie things together in Builder  
for the AIR side of things. I'd be very loath to make SWFs part of  
my app for anything more complex than image resources. If it  
generates Events and exposes an API, I need to interact with it  
without regard for its internal timeline, the possibility of memory  
leaks caused by loading SWFs (mainly in Player 9), etc.


I agree with them 100% that compile-time is horrible for Builder.  
Adobe knows this, and they're working on it. Building from Ant using  
MXMLC rather than Builder is apparently faster as-is, and I believe  
you can get a signifigant speedup using the compiler from Flex 4 but  
building against Flex 3 libraries. This opens you up to "issues" as  
Fx4 is still in early development, but most of the changes these  
days appear to be happening in Spark and the new MXML stuff, so  
building against the old namespace using the Halo components could  
be a helper. Also, recently on the FlexShow podcast they interviewed  
a guy (sorry, name escapes me) who's been backporting some of the  
speedups from Fx4 into Flex 3. They're not part of the official  
download, but I believe you can patch the compiler source, recompile  
with Java, and reap the benefits of his hard work without the  
technical risk inherent in building using the WIP Gumbo toolchain.










Enough ranting and suggestions from me, I think - time to yield the  
floor! :)

2009/4/7 Scott Delap 
I have a question for the list. We are currently doing rapid UI
changes to our Air application. Our UI designers that have experience
with Flash have not been happy with the iteration turn around time of
"skinning" our UI's. Complains range from issues with compilation
time to being able to easily preview changes. They have proposed that
we develop our UI's in pure Flash with only Flash level UI controls.
We'd then embed these UI's as swfs in our Flex/Actionscript code. I
can see doing this for some UI components. However, I must admit I'm
very hesitant to implement the entire UI this way since it becomes one
big passive view black box. Would anyone else have pro's or con's to
such an approach?

[flexcoders] Re: Problems opening window from AIR system tray app

2009-04-07 Thread michob


I can't easily grab it right now, but it was basically a similar exception in 
UIComponent but to do with styles instead of the LayoutManager.

I managed to achieve what I wanted by changing my base file to an mxml 
implementing a WindowedApplication and setting its visibility to false.  I'd 
still like to understand why I can't get it to work by extending Sprite like 
the sample app I linked to, but this will do in the meantime. :)

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Mitch.

Re: [flexcoders] Vidoe Tutorials Needed

2009-04-07 Thread Brad Bueche

You can also try lynda.com.  They have excellent video's.  They even have
Joey Lott teaching ActionScript 3.0 (and not framework specific at that!).
 They have about 50 hours of flex traning alone. They also have Flash CS4
(CS3 and older) training. Dreamweaver training.  ColdFusion 8 training. etc.
 Very good and high quality video.
$25 a month though.   However, I was  watching the free ones last night
(approx first 5 lessons of each course are free) and they are  very good.
lynda.com covers  all the Adobe CS software (even older versions)

designprovideo's also has some adobe cs4 training but not nearly as  much as
 lynda.com does.

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid Column Sort Prevents Drag From Updating DataProvider

2009-04-07 Thread chris.cobb40

Hi Alex

I gave it a try and I can see what you are getting at but I would be grateful 
for a bit more help.

What I want to do is to -

1. Make copy of the XMLListCollection dataprovider in an array by using 
toArray();

2. Remove the sort for XMLListCollection dataprovider.

3. Copy the data back from the array into the XMLListCollection.

I tried the following(InitiativeList is the XMLListCollection):

var iniCopy:Array = InitiativeList.toArray();
var iniXMLCopy:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection();

InitiativeList.sort = null;

for (var i:int = 0; i < iniCopy.length; i++) {
iniXMLCopy.addItemAt(iniCopy[i],i);
}

InitiativeList = new XMLListCollection(XMLList(iniXMLCopy.toXMLString()));

InitiativeList.refresh();

It sort of works but for some reason the first drag I do does not work but then 
subsequent ones do.

Could you give me an idea of where I am going wrong - I guess there is a better 
way than the long winded method I have used anyway.

Thanks a lot.

Chris

[flexcoders] How to catch Error 302 from RemoteObject?

2009-04-07 Thread Dan

Hi dear flexpert,

This may be a simple question, but after searching through flex doc and this 
forum, i still cannot figure out how can I, for instance, catch an session 
timeout exception from SSO such as Siteminder, when I invoke a RemoteObject 
call? The Siteminder is set so that it will sent back an temp redirection 302 
back when the someone is multilogin or session is expired for the application. 
Anyone come accross this before??

Many Thanks.

Regards,
Dan
