[flexcoders] Re: Loaded cairngorm swf will not remote

[rob_mcmichael]

Is this an AIR application? If so I don't think you can load them into a 
separate application domain but the same security domain, which will mean all 
remote calls will get blocked. You may have to route them through the main app 
(which is a pain).

Have a read up here if you think you are going to have to do that:

Hi,

I want to capture every time the browseris resized. 
the problem is that the resize event in flex is dispatched whenever the parent

[flexcoders] Increasing the Panel scroll speed?

[Sascha]

In Flex if you wrap a component into a Panel (or Canvas) which is larger
than the Panel, by default the Panel will show scroll bars and can be
scrolled. However the default speed for this scrolling is very slow so I'm
wondering if there is any known workaround to make them faster? There seems
to be no property or style which could control the speed.

[flexcoders] Problem with LinearAxis on an horizontal axis

[enriirne]

For what I know, LinearAxis computes the *number* of samples, not a property on 
the data provider.

I would like to plot my samples linearly on the horizontal axis.
For example, I must plot with a LineChart these samples:
{day:3 value:1}
{day:5 value:4}
{day:6 value:8}

I'd like to put LinearAxis' min=1 and max=10, where 1 and 10 are day number.
Then I'd like to see value=1 in the first third of the area, 4 and 8 close 
together, then some space till the maximum day number, which is 10.

But, as I said, LinearAxis reasons on the number of samples, which in my case 
is 3. The only workaround I found is to artificially add empty samples for days 
1,2,4,7,8,9,10

Is there a bettere way?

[flexcoders] Solution: Port of (VERY Simple) Flash Animation Example to Flex ActionScript Project

[Brad Bueche]

Yahooo! (Yes, I might be a redneck).  With the help flex coders (i.e.
"y'all").  I was able to port a Flash ActionScript Project to a Flex
ActionScript project.  (Well, Joey Lott's ActionScript video class on
Lynda.com helped a lot too.  I highly recomend lynda.com for beginners -
like me).  The video mentioned that ENTER_FRAME does operate in Flex at a
default of 12fps.  (Where do you change that?).  So I did not have to resort
to Timer.

All of this is an effort to work through the book "Object Oriented
ActionScript 3.0" in Flex instead of Flash.  This is one of the first
examples in the book.   (Only the first few examples deal with animation,
but it was bothering me that I had to download and work with the Flash ide
simply because I wanted to learn advanced actionscript).  I *highly*
recomend the book. I actualy understand 4 patterns now! Now, I just have to
implement them in flex.

The book uses symbol's as MovieClip but I'm using my BasicShapes (extending
Sprite).  Yes, its probably stupidly simple but it has taken me a long time
to figure it out.  So I'm posting it in case somebody else needs something
like this.

Here is the main actionscript class:

-
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import com.bueche.flex.graphics.BasicShapes;
import com.bueche.flex.graphics.Mover;

public class MoveShapes extends Sprite{

public function MoveShapes (){
   var testItem:BasicShapes = new BasicShapes();
   var testItemMover:Mover = new Mover(testItem, 2, 3);
   addChild(testItem);
   testItemMover.startMoving();
}

}//end of Class
}// end of Package

-end of main class

Here is the BasicShapes class:
-
package com.bueche.flex.graphics
{
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.Graphics;
import flash.display.JointStyle;
import flash.display.LineScaleMode;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Sprite;

public class BasicShapes extends Sprite {
private var size:uint   = 80;
private var bgColor:uint   = 0xFFCC00;
private var borderColor:uint  = 0x66;
private var borderSize:uint   = 0;
private var cornerRadius:uint = 9;
private var gutter:uint   = 5;

public function BasicShapes() {
doDrawCircle();
doDrawRoundRect();
doDrawRect();
refreshLayout();
}

private function refreshLayout():void {
var ln:uint = numChildren;
var child:DisplayObject;
var lastChild:DisplayObject = getChildAt(0);
lastChild.x = gutter;
lastChild.y = gutter;
for (var i:uint = 1; i < ln; i++) {
child = getChildAt(i);
child.x = gutter + lastChild.x + lastChild.width;
child.y = gutter;
lastChild = child;
}
}

private function doDrawCircle():void {
var child:Shape = new Shape();
var halfSize:uint = Math.round(size/2);
child.graphics.beginFill(bgColor);
child.graphics.lineStyle(borderSize, borderColor);
child.graphics.drawCircle(halfSize, halfSize, halfSize);
child.graphics.endFill();
addChild(child);
}

private function doDrawRoundRect():void {
var child:Shape = new Shape();
child.graphics.beginFill(bgColor);
child.graphics.lineStyle(borderSize, borderColor);
child.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, size, size, cornerRadius);
child.graphics.endFill();
addChild(child);
}

private function doDrawRect():void {
var child:Shape = new Shape();
child.graphics.beginFill(bgColor);
child.graphics.lineStyle(borderSize, borderColor);
child.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, size, size);
child.graphics.endFill();
addChild(child);
}
}//end class
}//end of package

-end of BasicShapes class

Here is the mover class:

package com.bueche.flex.graphics
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import com.bueche.flex.graphics.BasicShapes;

public class Mover extends MovieClip {

public var targetShape:BasicShapes;
public var xVel:Number;
public var yVel:Number;

public function Mover(targetShape:BasicShapes, xVel:Number,
yVel:Number) {
this.targetShape = targetShape;
this.xVel = xVel;
this.yVel = yVel;
}

public function updatePosition(evtObj:Event):void {
this.targetShape.x += this.xVel;
this.targetShape.y += this.yVel;

As I understand it, seadragon is a client and server technology requiring 
extensive server support to do it's magic. I Suspect you could implement the 
client in Flex, but whether you could under the licence terms, is another 
matter.

[flexcoders] swfObject and deep linking

[azona26]

I am using swfObject to embed my application and running into some
issues when trying to deep link via the BrowserManager class. I am able
to update the URL when needed via setFragment(), however the issue
occurs when the back/forward button is pressed. The application does not
update as expected. This ONLY occurs when using swfObject. If I use the
default HTML generated by Flex, everything works fine. I searched Google
and found that there have been some issues with deep linking when using
swfObject. I tried all suggestions without any luck. Here is the code
that I am using to embed as well as deep link:

 !--  BEGIN Browser History required section -->
 
 
 
 

 
 
 var flashvars = {};
 var params = {};
 params.menu = 'false';
 params.wmode = 'transparent';
 params.allowscriptaccess = 'sameDomain';
 var attributes = {};
 attributes.id = 'AllProperties';
 swfobject.embedSWF('AllProperties.swf',
'flashPropertyContent', '770', '400', '9.0.124', 'expressInstall.swf',
flashvars, params, attributes);
 swfobject.addLoadEvent(loadEventHandler);

 function loadEventHandler() {

 BrowserHistory.flexApplication =
swfobject.getObjectById('flashPropertyContent');
 }
 

Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue is appreciated.

[flexcoders] Uploading file over HTTPS produces Error #2038: File I/O Error.

[simonjohnriley]

We're uploading and downloading medical files using flex, so it has to be over 
HTTPS. I've got the upload working correctly over simple HTTP but get the 
following error using HTTPS:

[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 
text="Error #2038: File I/O Error. URL: 
https://www.elitehealth.com/secure/patient/eliteonline/webService/upload.php";]

I've looked everywhere for a solution but have had no luck so far. Was thinking 
perhaps it could be do do with my crossdomain.xml? it looks like this at the 
moment:

[flexcoders] Tile control: Border style and Zoom

[Matthew A. Wilson]

I'm using a tile control to display an image with a short description to the 
right of it. Basically everything is contained with in an HBox and the I'm 
programmtically adding that to the tile: 

thisTile.addchild(myHBox)

I'd like to have some sort of visual indicator to let the user know which item 
they clicked on. Whether that be a red border, or a "glow" effect, or whatever.

My question is, how do I do that? I don't see an easy way of setting that in 
any sort of item clickevent. Also, I wanted to have some sort of Zoom or 
magnifier so that when they hovered over the image it would be bigger...but can 
I do that? If I set the width/height on my hbox to 300/100 and then add that as 
an item to my Tile...can I create some sort of zoom or magnify effect whereby 
that image would be larger than the confines of its parent?

Thanks in advance - you all are always so helpful!

RE: [flexcoders] browser resize event vs. application resize events

[Alex Harui]

If the HTML template is set up with relative sizes so that the Flex app is 
sensitive to browser size then the Flex app should get a resize event.  You 
could always add Javascript to the template and use ExternalInterface to be 
notified of browser size changes.

[flexcoders] How to put a well-formatted SQL statement in a string?

[Mic]

I have to embed my SQL within Flex until I can work out how to call a SQLServer 
proc from within Flex (any pointers here would be much appreciated), and am 
writing functions:

private function sel_mrkt_pln_yrs(p_string:String = null):String{
   var sqlString:String = "select distinct issue_yr, cast(issue_yr as Int) as 
ID from MKT_PLN where (case when " + p_string + " is not null then case when 
mkt_pln_typ = " + p_string + " then 1 end else 1 end) = 1 order by 1 desc;";
 

return sqlString; 
}

I would like to format the SQL so I can read it:

select distinct
issue_yr,
cast(issue_yr as Int) as ID
from
MKT_PLN
where
(case when @p_mkt_pln_typ is not null then
case when mkt_pln_typ = @p_mkt_pln_typ then
1
end
else
1
end) = 1
order by
1 desc;

but var sqlString:String = ... will not take the separate lines etc. How are 
people doing this? TIA,

Mic.
