re: [flexcoders] Problem drag and drop

[j...@cfwebtools.com]

I'm not 100% sure about this but I just ran into an issue where I wanted to set 
up all my DragManager.acceptDragDrop(UIComponent) in an init function but it 
refused to work.  DragManager only accepted that once something was actually 
being dragged so the same might be true for your DragManager.showFeedback().  
Try setting that after you call DragManager.doDrag().

Hi.

I want to use drag and drop from one panel  which contains a titlewindow to

another panel.

What i can do is to deplace it.

But what i want to do is to copy it not move it

This is my code

I've been using .NET for years and recently started developing in Flex. One
thing I've noticed (and maybe it's because I'm new) is that I have to write
out just about everything. There were so many things in .NET that the IDE
would handle for me. Like I could write a function, like DoThis(), and then
right-click on DoThis() and the IDE would ask me if I wanted to generated a
method stub. I know that's not earth-shattering, but there were a few things
here...a few things there that shaved off some seconds and/or minutes and
just generally speed up development.

I haven't run across anything like that in the FlexBuilder IDE - so my
question is: What's your favorite tip/trick for speeding up development? Do
you have some favorite text snippets that you keep handy? Or do you you know

Tracy,
I got it! It turns out that Roles are returned as an array, since the
 node repeats. So this did it:

protected function displayRoles (item:Object, column:DataGridColumn):String 
{
roleList = "";
for (i = 0; i < item.Roles.length; i++) {
roleList = roleList + item.Roles[i].RoleName + "\n";
}
return roleList;
}

That gave me a variable "roleList" with each role and a newline like:

User
Portal User
Administrator

With the children approach, I get:

Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Could this be due to the fact that there are multiple  nodes and not
just one, so that Roles isn't really a parent node except to one specific
child? That is:

Get__CompIntfc__USER_PROFILEResponse 
Name: Jim

Rolename: a
Roles:

RE: [flexcoders] Re: repeater error that i dont understand

[Tracy Spratt]

First, that you need to debug the problem.  Second, that debugging bindings
is difficult. Third, the solution is to create a custom component that has
all the repeated content inside it, and repeat that.  Pass the entire
'currentItem" into that custom component via a setter.  In the setter,
assign the values to local, bindable variables.  Bind your controls to the
local variables, Use breakpoints to debug to see what values are not getting
assigned as needed.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Create XML List by code

[Tracy Spratt]

First, just build XML then use e4x expressions to return the XMLList that
you want.

 

“Create the equivalent string…” does not mean “static”.  You can dynamically
build your string that represents XML, using whatever run-time logic you
need, the pass that string to  the top-level XML() function, which returns
XML.

 

Alternatively, you can instantiate an XML node root, then use the XML API to
manipulate it:

var sMyVar:String = “attributevalue”;

var xml:XML = ;

var xmlNewNode:XML;

xmlNewNode = ;

xml.appendChild(xmlNewNode);

 

etc.

You mentioned loadBytes() the byteArray the other side. Could you show how to 
do that? If I did it through a SWFLoader I obviously get a security violation. 
That was through the content.loader is that right?

I am about to make a UI component which I will pass a URL to that should take 
care of the rest, but would be good to perfect it if possible.

Are there any size limitations I should know about with ByteArrays? I don't 
want to find out it's all in vain :( I managed to break FlexBuilder when it was 
tracing out the byte array after I had turned it into a string :p

RE: [flexcoders] Loading remote font swf from local application

[Alex Harui]

Well, you'd have to call create() on the factory and then maybe call 
styleDeclarationsChanged on the StyleManagerImpl.

Adobe expects developers to have a copy of the server deployment on their local 
machines.  Then, using relative paths in loadStyleDeclarations should work both 
during local development and when deployed.  If I was worried about my copies 
getting stale, I'd just write a script that downloads the server deployment.  I 
would hope that stuff doesn't change often in ways that affect the code you are 
developing.

a big task to keep everyone's machine in check.  Recently though, Joan
Lafferty posted a response to the logged ticket which you can read in the
link above.  The example shows that reading the bytes of a module can allow
you to import the swf in a security-friendly way.  The example is not
specific to loading a font swf though, it just shows how to load an external
module at runtime.  In our case, we can load in our font "module" as
perscribed but I'm not sure what to do after that.
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations() automatically makes the font available
to the application, however, my tests show that just loading the font swf
"module" using ModuleLoader.loadModule() doesn't cut it.

Can someone fill in the gap here?  Maybe I misunderstood Joan's post.
Thanks!

hmmm. I could easily append some bytes and see what happens, but not

You mentioned loadBytes() the byteArray the other side. Could you show how to 
do that? If I did it through a SWFLoader I obviously get a security violation. 
That was through the content.loader is that right?

I am about to make a UI component which I will pass a URL to that should take 
care of the rest, but would be good to perfect it if possible. 

Are there any size limitations I should know about with ByteArrays? I don't 
want to find out it's all in vain :( I managed to break FlexBuilder when it was 
tracing out the byte array after I had turned it into a string :p

[flexcoders] Datagrid Goofy Problem cannot select rows

[timgerr]

Hello all,
I am creating a message board forum and I am using the datagrid to show message 
topics.  I add a new topic, via flex text input box, it gets sent to a PHP 
Weborb back end and the datagrid will then be updated.  So lets say I do not 
have any topics, I will add the first one, I can then take my mouse and select 
that row.  When my mouse hovers over the item, the row is highlighted (this is 
done by default, a feature of the datagrid).  If I create another topic, I am 
unable to highlight any other row except for the latest one that was updated.  
I am not sure what to look for here.  Here is my mxml datagrid :





 






Any Ideas???

thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: TileList with page number

[Tim Hoff]

Hi Christophe,

You can figure out how many tiles are in a page by multiplying the
colomnCount by the RowCount.  Take this number and divide the
dataProvider's length by it, to determine the number of pages.  You may
have to adjust this number; based on the remainder (see mod).   From
these calculations, you could then dynamically create a paging control
either on the TileList's valueCommit or the dataProvider's
collectionChange events.  The paging control would be used to change the
TileList's verticalScrollPosition.

[flexcoders] Re: Need help processing XML into Flex app

[Jim]

Tracy,
I got it!  It turns out that Roles are returned as an array, since the  
node repeats.  So this did it:

protected function displayRoles (item:Object, column:DataGridColumn):String 
 {
  roleList = "";
  for (i = 0; i < item.Roles.length; i++) {
roleList = roleList +  item.Roles[i].RoleName + "\n";
  }
   return roleList;
 }

That gave me a variable "roleList" with each role and a newline like:

User
Portal User
Administrator

Thanks again for your help.  
Jim

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Marshall Plan: Loading images from byteArray

[Alex Harui]

You didn't saw you were stringifying the bytearray.  Made me wonder if you'd 
posted the right code or described your steps correctly.
Did you try my steps?  If they work, it would save you a few hops.  An image is 
a Bitmap so converting to ByteArray should be single method calls and not a lot 
of work.
FlashPlayer has an AMF restriction and can't deserialize properly in SWFs that 
aren't in the main app domain.
So, it will probably take a number of hops but I think it should be less than 
you described.

How so? I changed the names of the swfs, but other than that, that is the error

I have since worked on loading an image in the parent application, turning it 
into a bitmap, getting the pixels into another byte aray, converting that into 
a standard array, passing that through the shared events, back to byte array 
(plus the height and width and URL as an ID) then loading that back into a 
bitmap, and then adding that to a UI object to render

It's a bit of a faff, but now it's written it appears to work fine. I am yet to 
see how easy bitmaps are to work with over standard images (scaling etc).

I also tried using AMF to pass objects (image component) via the Marshall plan, 
but they didn't load back up correctly. I assume the Marshall plan is editing 
them as it would be a security breach right?

If this is the only way to do it, I will try and write it up, and perhaps show

Doesn't SQLLite have any syntax like

INSERT INTO MyTable (Field1, Field2)
VALUES (Obj1Field1, Obj1Field2),
(Obj2Field1, Obj2Field2),
(Obj3Field1, Obj3Field2)

?

This would actually make the multiple inserts simultaneously, rather than

You can set the type of vertical Axis you want to use.  The LinearAxis class

With the children approach, I get:

Could this be due to the fact that there are multiple  nodes and not

Wrap your head around the idea that the model controls the view.  Even the 
"data" portions.  You should bind your combo box dataprovider to the model 
property storing that data (from server based on combo box 1 selection).  Why 
you don't need cairngorm for enabling? You can just set you're 2nd combo box's 
enabled property to {combobox1.selectedIndex > -1}. An alternative using 
cairngorm is if your dataprovider (in the model) is null, disable combo box 2, 
if it has data, enable it.

True, We load DLL with loadDLL Api call then create the form by
calling a function in that DLL.

Well no problem. TForm is a container Class like Panel(the closest
equivalent in Flex to best of my knowledge) which has caption, min, 
max, close buttons in caption area and which can have visual controls
may be bound to datasource or plain ones, it has open, close, keypress
etc. etc. events. Well delphi is much similar to flex conceptually
so for us it took very less time to understand Flex. But it has much
stronger visual designer and IDE. But Flex requires much less code
compared to delphi.

Suppose if I create few panels with few controls in a single src file
and put them in a module how can I create one of those panel and put
as a child to main forms Canvas or similar container and free it as
soon as the panel is closed. For loading module we got some material
to read. The loading module, creating panel and adding as child to
canvas we want to perform when a menuitem is clicked.

Hope u extend ur help in this regard. Somehow learning resources
we have does not have this type of information, or otherwise
if possible give us links for similar examples.

can u give me URLs for those posts or month/year of post so that
searching will be bit easier. Since I am new to this Group I not
that strong in searching messages so i have to adopt straight royal
way of searching i.e. reading page by page.

Thanks and best regards.
