[flexcoders] Re: Sorting VBox elements based on an XML ID

[fumeng5]

Hmmm...I didn't know about the Repeater component, that's quite useful. 
However, I should have explained that I'm not working with all the same 
components. The XML is more complex than I posted. 

Here's what it really looks like:

 
1
First Class


 
 
2
Second Class
1.31


 
11
Subclass of first class


So my conditional for building the UI goes like this; if Class_Amount is empty, 
this element has a subclass, i.e.

Re: [flexcoders] Error with Flex Builder

[Sam Lai]

Did you open a project in FB, then closed FB, removed a disk, and now
re-opened FB? It sounds like it is from a drive which can exist but
have no disk in it, e.g. a CD/DVD, a card reader.

If it is on a hard drive, and is recurring, might be worth checking
the health of your hard drive.

[flexcoders] Re: Runs in debug mode, but not release build

[jimmy5804]

For the benefit of people who might search for a similar problem in the 
future...

The program was trying to write a reference file to the 
File.applicationDirectory. This directory is not supposed to be writable. The 
debugger apparently doesn't enforce that, though it is enforced when deployed.

[flexcoders] TabNavigator creationPolicy

[Richard Rodseth]

I have a TabNavigator with creationPolicy = "auto".
The immediate children are intermediate (superfluous) VBoxes containing the
actual components to be displayed.
Nevertheless actual component A's creationComplete fires even though it's
tab is not the active one.
What's up?

Want to help improve the quality of Flex for yourself and others? Have a bug 
that you're dying to have fixed? Come join the Flex Bug Quash on Sunday May 
17th. You can participate either in person at the 360|Flex event in 
Indianapolis or remotely via Adobe Connect. We recently hosted the first Flex 
Bug Quash in Seattle and had quite the turn out with 180 participants, 2/3rds 
of which were remote. Prior to this event, in the 13 months that Flex has been 
open source, we had received 111 patches, in the Seattle Bug Quash alone we got 
another 57 patches from the community, bring us up 168 patches submitted. This 
event was a definite success and we hope to have an even better event in 
Indianapolis! This is a great opportunity to share your knowledge of Flex, 
learn from other leet Flex developers, and contribute to making Flex a better 
product. For more information check out bugquash.com.

That is not even a "custom event", it is a flash event with a custom type.

The metadata should go above the class definition, but the metadata should not

If you are depending on the bubbling, are yo sure the Adaption... class is in 
the child hierarchy of the listener?  PopUps, for example are not.

I am trying to creating a custom event in a actionscript class that will be

I need to notify the parent application of when data is finished loading.

Here is what I've been playing with:

siteDetail.myInstance_SiteDetails.ccEnterpriceID =

bm = BrowserManager.getInstance();
bm.init("", "OfficeFone Dashboard - Site Administrator");
bm.setTitle("OfficeFone Dashboard - Site Administrator");
this.addEventListener("enableChanged", getSiteDetailsHandler);
}

Any  one see where I've gone wrong or what I've missed?  I tried putting 
 tags around the Event method but no love , I've tired the 
MetaDataEvent (that the only option when I ctrl-SpaceBar) EventDispatch is

RE: [flexcoders] I am so confused about the coordinate and transformation in AS 3

[Alex Harui]

Don't know which other learning material to point you to, but the ASDoc for 
Stage says that you shouldn't set the transform so it is likely that setting 
parts of the transform may not work either.

Sounds like transforming S is working as expected as far as visuals are 
concerned.  When I have an interactivity problem, I next look at the 
interactivity properties like buttonMode, mouseEnabled and mouseChildren.

Subject: [flexcoders] I am so confused about the coordinate and transformation

We have crated a subclass of Sprite (let's call it S) and added it to the 
stage. Then we added another Sprite that draws polygon (P) and a TextField (T) 
to S.

If we get the stage.transform.matrix, scales it, and put it back, P scales 
correctly but T stays at the same location.

If we get the S.transform.matrix, scales it, and put it back, everything scales 
correctly. The problem is that if we right click on an area that use to be 
empty before scale but no empty now, we don't get the context menu.

I have no logical explanation mostly due to lack of experience with AS 3.

Any help is appreciated. If there is book or online article with in depth 
explanation would be very helpful. I have learned AS 3 by reading AS 3 Cookbook 
by O'Reilly and Flex Builder help docs. Any other suggestion for learning 
material?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Accessing query string vars in Flex HTML wrapper and passing them into Flex App

Hmm, maybe some scope or timing issue?

 

Change this:

<%
String uid = (String)request.getParameter("uid");
String cid = (String)request.getParameter("cid");
%>

 

Put it in the script block where the flash version variables are declared,
and debug to make sure they are getting set correctly.

 

Also, you can get the passed in parameters directly, like this:

var _sPassedUrlParms = new String(document.location).split('?')[1];  //Get
any passed-in querystring parms

 

then pass that into the SF in the AC_FL_RunContent() function:

"flashvars", _sPassedUrlParms,

You are already in a script block, so don't include the "<%" script
directives, just build the string. And don't include the first "&":

RE: [flexcoders] Unloading Modules - Binding is the Enemy?

[Alex Harui]

I'd have to poke through it to be sure, but it should.  Fundamentally, all that 
should be going on there is this:

CairngormNameChangedToProtectTheInnocentModel.getInstance().uploadsFromFoo.addEventListener("result",
 bindingCallback, false, 0, true);

Where bindingCallback looks like:

private function bindingCallback(event:Event):void
{
uploadFromFoo.dataProvider = 
CairngormNameChangedToProtectTheInnocentModel.getInstance().uploadsFromFoo.result
}

There should not be any strong references from 
CairngormNameChangedToProtectTheInnocentModel to the DataGrid.

It gets a bit more tricky with the way MXML generates code and we've found bugs 
in there in the past, but the ones I've explored recently haven't been a 
problem.

A weak reference listener is attached to myAc.  It shouldn't matter what its 
type is (as long as it isn't XML).  The selectedChild of a ViewStack will have 
a reference to the ModuleLoader child which should have a reference to the 
module.  Not sure how you are attempting to unload that module, but once that 
gets cleaned up, the module should go away.  The profiler should help you see 
what is hanging onto the module.

The profiler should also give you good info on who's hanging onto the editable 
copy.

Are you comfortable with working with the Profiler?  Have you looked at the 
profiler "tutorial" on my blog?

[flexcoders] data effect for list control when item changes

[gwangdesign]

Hi,

I am trying to use data effect for a list control, when an item in the 
dataprovider changes (not deleted or added but some properties change). 

I am looking for something like this:

http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/09/24/animating-data-changes-in-a-flex-pie-chart/

but for a list control. For example if the text gets longer in a Text control 
which serves as the item renderer, every renderer gets expanded; or if I am 
using an Image control as the item renderer and if one of the image source 
changes to a higher resolution, the whole listTile should play an effect.

In the documentation, it says "Data effects make it possible to apply effects 
to the item renderers in List and TileList controls when the data provider for 
the control changes." But the examples only show you how to apply effects when 
items are added/deleted, but not when an item's properties change.

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Runs in debug mode, but not release build

There are four combinations to try:  1) debug build in debugger player, 2) 
release build in debugger player, 3) debug build in release player and 4) 
release build in release player.

You've told us #1 works.  If #2 fails, trace statements will help.  If your 
only failure cases are #3 or #4, you'll have to instrument your code to try to 
find the issue.

It's a big project. Most of the skins are programmatic, but I've verified all

and check libraries.

I don't have a lot of information as to the cause right now. The logs that I 
have appear normal but nothing shows up when it is executed although the

As far as trace, how do you use that in an export release? I created a file

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder on Linux been scrapped ?

[john fisher]

Well most or all decisions are based on emotion, despite what we
rationalists think, but I take your point.

I'd like to write something here thats actually useful and might
contribute a tiny item to the knowledge pile at Adobe, without boring
everybody with personal details-

1) windows + Adobe puts me over budget at home, and I am accustomed to
using all-open software, and one of the appeals of Flex Builder on Linux
was I could learn it without forking over money. and yes it galls me to
send money to MS.

2) My company is a Linux shop and no license money is available for
experimental projects; CTO wants Java and the only way I can convince
him Flex/Flash is better is to show something else that works.

3) I need to see what its like developing without the Flex Builder
framework. I am already the only one in the building who uses an IDE or
visual debugger.

Just as I had no idea how Sun was going to make money on Java ( opposed
to IBM who does) I don't know how Adobe can make money giving away
tools, but it sure looks like open tools are going to win the battle in
the long run, and proprietary tools will lose market share. Maybe Adobe
can sell the visual designer stuff?

Open source software people are so wary of proprietary tools because we
have seen over and over how tool sets get munged over time, or even
abandoned, how open tools have vastly better tech support, and now
finally with Eclipse, open tools are achieving parity with the visual
IDE stuff from vendors. It seemed to me that Adobe was following a
semi-open model with Flex, for instance open bug reporting, and that
attracted me in the first place.

and so forth

One more thing - I know I contradicted my earlier post, but there was
just too many things wrong with the last link. Apologies.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder on Linux been scrapped ?

[Sam Lai]

Creepy. Although it's just a patent; there's no evidence it has been
implemented in Vista/7. Is there?

Personally, I'm more concerned about Google, given their primary
source of profit is advertising, and they store a substantial amount
of my email from the past 5 years, plus know nearly every search term
I've entered. Email plus search terms would be an enormous gold mine
for advertisers.

As for the last link - most of it exists in Mac and Linux (taking
Ubuntu as the representative here). Ubuntu knows every package you
have installed from their repos (along with when, your IP address)
thanks to HTTP headers. It wouldn't work without it. In Kubuntu
there's crash reporter that sends data off somewhere too.
Auto-updating exists in Ubuntu too. And CEIP's are in many apps these
days - including one you use, Eclipse. CEIPs are optional.

And for terado - that's how IPv4 to IPv6 translation works on every
platform. The time server has to come from somewhere too, and I don't
think time.nist.gov would be too happy if every Windows installation
pointed to that and overloaded their servers.

I could go on, but I think you should download and run Wireshark on
your OS. Watch what goes out over a few days; I think you'd be
surprised. OSes nowadays are designed to be connected, and
(unfortunately) HTTP was not designed to be anonymous.

P.S. I would love it if Ubuntu had a wizard in its install process
that sent lspci/lsusb to Ubuntu so they can tell me whether or not my
hardware will be fully supported, *before* I do the installation.

RE: [flexcoders] Would anyone know what Capabilities.os shows for Windows 7 ?

[Jim Hayes]

Many thanks!

On reflection, I decided my approach was bad.
I changed it to specifically exclude 95 and 98/ME, but allow any thing
else with "Windows" in it.

Luckily, it seems it would pass on Windows 7 Beta Build 7000 !

Seeing as no one seems to have replied, I gave it a shot. In a Flex
app running in AIR, it just contains "Windows".

I'm running Windows 7 Beta Build 7000.

RE: [flexcoders] Unloading Modules - Binding is the Enemy?

[Gregor Kiddie]

Hang on, now I'm confused...

Does this code result in a weak reference binding?

 



 

I was always led to believe it wouldn't.

A weak reference listener is attached to myAc.  It shouldn't matter what
its type is (as long as it isn't XML).  The selectedChild of a ViewStack
will have a reference to the ModuleLoader child which should have a
reference to the module.  Not sure how you are attempting to unload that
module, but once that gets cleaned up, the module should go away.  The
profiler should help you see what is hanging onto the module.

 

The profiler should also give you good info on who's hanging onto the
editable copy.

 

Are you comfortable with working with the Profiler?  Have you looked at
the profiler "tutorial" on my blog?

RE: [flexcoders] Adding text to Cursor: Dilemma

[Kenneth Sutherland]

Have you checked out the SystemManager, it keeps track of all the
various layers such as tooltips, cursors, popup windows.  If I remember
correctly the topmost level is the tooltips and although the docs
suggest that you can only have 1 tooltip, this is incorrect.

If you made your hovering object implement the IToolTip then you could
just add it by doing something like,

var sm:ISystemManager = Application.application.systemManager;

sm.toolTipChildren.addChild(yourObject);

 

That way it's always top (apart from other tooltips create after your
one) and if you don't require it, just remove it.

If you need it to be on top of other tooltips you just need to use the
setChildIndex whenever another tooltip is generated (put in listeners on
the systemmanager for tooltip events, make sure useCapture is TRUE ).
Again it's been a while since I looked at it, but if I remember
correctly the H & V Sliders do not fire of the tooltip events when they
display the datatip (which is a tooltip). So that's something to look
out for.

 

HTH Kenneth.

Subject: [flexcoders] Adding text to Cursor: Dilemma

 






So I need to add a hover over when I mouse over and object on the stage.
My issue is that I am using a framework that creates these objects and
puts them on a displaylist randomly so they are in no certain order. I
tried putting the hover over on the object but sometimes these object
overlap so my hover is behind some of the objects. I can't bring my
hovered object to the front/top because it has to remain behind a few
items. Probably confused you there, but just no hover over on the actual
moused over object isn't possible.

So I am thinking my two options are create a cursor that has a dynamic
textfield. Or create a floating text field on the main stage that will
turn on or off depending if I am hovering. I prefer the cursor version
but the issue is I don't want the text to count as part of the mouse
when moving around as text in the hover could be quite long thus
hovering over two objects at once.

Suggestions?
