Re: [flexcoders]Where does my SWF gain it's weight?

[Anirudh Sasikumar]

You could also restrict the character glyphs in your embedded font to
reduce the size taken up by the font.

This can be done by specifying the unicodeRange property in CSS:

@font-face
{
  src:url("/embed_assets/fonts/Inconsolata-ani.otf");
  font-family: "mycodefont";
  unicodeRange: U+0041-U+005A,
  U+0061-U+007A,
  U+0030-U+0039,
  U+0020-U+002F,
  U+003A-U+0040,
  U+005B-U+0060,
  U+007B-U+007E;
}

RE: [flexcoders] for better performance, use "as" rather than just leaving an object as Object?

[Alex Harui]

I published similar results on my blog a few years back.

The reason it is slower is that there are more byte codes involved and those 
byte codes take more time.  The more you know, and the more information you 
have handy, the less work there is to do and we can make more assumptions.

For "b.id", the byte code is more or less:
Push "id"
Push "b"
GetProperty

For "(b as button).id", the byte code is roughly:
Push "id"
Push b
Push button
Coerce
GetProperty

For "o.id", the byte code is roughly:
Push "id"
Push "o"
FindProperty

and FindProperty is much slower.

Note that it takes 1000 accesses to feel a 1 second difference.  There's 
more byte code involved in using "as" so if you did it everywhere your SWF will 
be larger and take up more memory at runtime and could offset those gains.  
However, if you've got the time, it might be worth doing from a code 
maintenance standpoint as the compiler will help you find misspellings and what 
not.

I was curious as to the difference between a few different ways of approaching 
the situation of an itemRenderer having a "data" property and deciding whether 
or not to use "as" to make all the type checking happy.  So I tried some test 
code and found that it made a big difference whether you use "as" or just leave 
the data property as an Object.  If you leave it as an Object, you get a 
performance hit on the order of 40%+ longer than if you use "as" to cast it 
first.

Here are the ways I tested it.  I just decided to pull the "id" property 
because it's something that is just a simple access of a private variable, no 
complicated stuff.

var b:Button = new Button;
var o:Object = b;
var s:String;

s = b.id;
s = (o as Button).id;
s = Button(o).id;
s = UIComponent(o).id;
s = (o as UIComponent).id;
s = o.id;

I did get a bit fancy and put them in a loop and a timer to isolate each one.  
The full code is included below.

What I found was along the lines of this (give or take a few %):

Button: 3.16
Button():   4.06  129%
as Button:  4.14  131%
UIComponent():  3.98  126%
as UIComponent: 4.03  128%
Object: 5.38  170%

I put in the UIComponent ones because sometimes I cast it to a superclass 
because I might get several different subclasses passed into a function.

So what I've found is that if you ignore than noise, the middle four methods 
are also approximately the same in timings.  But the Object one is far worse.  
This probably won't come as any surprise to the Adobe folks or the people who 
have been working with Flex a bit more in-depth.  I found it rather useful 
information, though, considering I'm trying to shave off some time in various 
places in one of my apps.  Granted, it won't matter as much outside of loops.

So many things return the items as objects, such as Arrays/ArrayCollection, the 
"data" property of item renderers, etc.  I think I'm just going to make it a 
habit to put "as" in my code (and not the format of Class(variable) because 
sometimes that triggers a function rather than just doing a casting) all the 
time.  It helps catch errors by doing strict type checking (as long as you 
aren't using dynamic classes) and it's a little faster to boot.

Still, I wish it was as fast as the top line where you don't have to do any 
casting/as at all.  Any thoughts on that or anything else I've missed?  Any

[flexcoders] SWF File Causing CPU Overload in Firefox on Windows

[Kyle]

For some reason a swf file published from flash is overloading my cpu when 
viewed in Firefox 2 or 3 with Flash player 10 on Windows. It works fine in 
Internet Explorer, Safari on both PC and MAC, and in Firefox on MAC. I've tried 
everything I can think of including removing almost all animation, and it is 
still overloading the cpu. The result of this overload is that when you click 
on one of the elements in the swf that makes a call via ExternalInterface to 
Javascript, and then re-routes the page, it takes upwards of 60 seconds to move 
on to the next page.

The page containing the swf can be seen at http://www.freakatars.com . Again, 
the issue only occurs in Firefox 2/3 on Windows.

Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated..

[flexcoders] Help with Tomcat / Flex issue

[Greg Morphis]

We have an app running on a Apache Tomcat server. I was asked to added
some updates to it, everything went well in developing it.
I created a .war locally using jar -cfv *.* myapp.war

I placed the file locally in my tomcat directory and started up
tomcat, it worked fine.
It expanded the files and I was able to log into it using a dev login
and saw dev data.
I moved this WAR to our prod server and forgot to change the dev data
to prod (in the meta-inf/context.xml)
Now it looks like it's loading up into development, production login
doesnt work, only dev and it looks like it's dev data.

I deleted the .war, I deleted the directory it created (I had renamed
it to ROOT.war because that's what it is on the prod server...
D:\Tomcat5.5\webapps\ROOT\
I moved the copied directory back into the tomcat/webapps folder and
restarted tomcat. So everything should have been back the way it was.
It's still only allowing the dev logins.
Any ideas, I desperately need help. I checked the context.xml file in
root/META-INF/context.xml and only the production info is uncommented.
Strange thing is I renamed the file to context.xml_ (notice the
underspace). Restarted the server and it's still only allowing dev
logins and dev data.
It's almost as if it's not even using that context.xml file for it.
Where else is this stored at? I'm begging! Please help!

RE: [flexcoders] Data changed in xml file does not updated in

[Tracy Spratt]

Tht is because this:

source="../../data/bag.xml" 

Is a *compile-time* operation.  The XML gets baked into the swf.

 

You want to use HTTPService to load your xml at run time.  You should find
plenty of examples of that.

[flexcoders] Question regarding FLV protection

[Jon Oxtoby]

Hi,

We're currently using FMS 3.0 as a streaming solution in an effort to prevent 
people stealing our FLV's, with limited success.  The main issue we're running 
into is people using stream downloading software which is basically creating a 
new connection to FMS and downloading the stream.  My question is - is it 
possible to intercept the FLV stream coming into a Flex application before it 
goes into the buffer and edit those bytes?  Basically I'm looking at the 
possibility of encrypting the FLV on the server and then decrypting it on the 
fly as it streams into the Flex application.  Does anyone know if this is 
feasible or not, or if not, what about the idea of decrypting the data in the 
buffer prior to it being accessed by the video player?  I'm still semi-new to 
the whole concept of streaming video and FLV playback so if this is a stupid 
question please be gentle :).

Cheers

[flexcoders] alpha - containers, buttons, and skins

[arieljake]

Hi, I am trying to understand a weird behavior i am observing when trying to 
use the alpha property.

Please see this image: 
http://ariel-jakobovits.com/AJ/images/flex/browserControlsAlpha.png

I am trying to fade out a box of internet browsing controls when the mouse is 
rolled-out because the controls are placed over the html control.

When i set the alpha property of the container (HBox), clearly the background 
of the box and the buttons themselves are all affected, but there is a clear 
variation in the coloring.

The box is styled with a background image, and the buttons are skinned with 
images as well.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Run swf on server

[Jamie S]

I was in a similar boat, having to generate an image server-side to
that matches what the user sees in a flash movie client-side.
Unfortunately there is no command-line version of Flash but AIR is
almost as good. You can launch an AIR app from the command-line on the
server and pass it in your data as command-line arguments. When
finished the AIR app can save the image to the file system and
terminate.

Actually, that will have problems too.

v = 1.5436;
var vString:String = String(Math.round(v*100));
var vLength:int = vString.length;
vString = vString.substr(0,vLength-2) + "." + vString.substr(sLength-2);

Go with the number formatter.

Yeah, as Tracy says, the constant only helps to avoid mis-spelling, by
having the compiler help out.  You could have done this as well:

win.addEventListener("userSubmit", onSubmit);

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie question: Custom Components and Custom Events

[Tracy Spratt]

This metadata makes it available in mxml:

[Event(name="userSubmit", type="events.UserEvents")]

 

But the syntax UserEvents.USER_SUBMIT requires a contant in that class:

public class UserEvents extends Event

{

  public static const USER_SUBMIT:String = "userSubmit";

 

Using a constant like that just ensures you won't misspell "userSubmit".

Re: [flexcoders] Re: TabNavigator creationPolicy

Not much, but when you're driving the state from outside (perhaps the app is
bookmarkable, or perhaps the state is loaded from some configuration), then
I think it's nice to separate the notion of state from how it's implemented.

Since none of them have any children, I would expect for their creation to
be complete immediately--there's nothing else to be done in the creation
process that hasn't already been done before the labels display in the
TabNavigator.

Yes, as Sam says.

 

Also, you could look in the UserEvents code to see what the value of that
constant is and use that string.

Looks like the USER_SUBMIT variable or constant in your UserEvents
class is not static, but you're accessing it in a static way.

They should be static, so add they keyword static before the var
keyword when you declare USER_SUBMIT and it should all work.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Mate and sharing data across files

Aha! I had obviously missed the bit about the "new User()" when I was trying
to adapt the example code.

Sadly, today my flex2gateway has started throwing a 500 error again for no
apparent reason so I can't test it until I figure out how to fix that. I
really hate how flaky this thing is - apparently just turning your computer
off for the night is enough to take it out even if you make no other
changes. :(


As for the CFC side of things, yes, the CFC does return a query object
directly. I'd not realised that there was any other way to go about this.
Like the idea of actually returning it as a User object, though. Once I get
the flex2gateway issue sorted I'll have a play with this too. Thanks for the
tip. :)

[flexcoders] Re: Run swf on server

[lagos_tout]

Hi, 

Thanks for your response.

Since I already have a swf that generates a complex view using data provided, 
what I'd like to be able to do is not have to recreate this logic in some other 
language just so that the server can generate images of the result.  

AS3 provides image generation for display classes.  And if I could run the swf 
on the server, instead of on the client-side, there would be no network 
overhead of having to send the rendered image to the server.

Well.

You can run a swf in Air but I expect that is the least of your headaches.

I mean, what's the real objective. If you need to dynamically create images,
why not do that in the server script as you won't have all the other goo?
This was figured out years ago as the age of the link will attest.

Hi, all.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to implement the following use case:

(1) a swf running in a browser on the client-side sends simple numeric data
to a server-side script. 
(2) the server-side script calls a second swf located on the same server as
the script, passing it the numeric data. 
(3) this swf uses the data to generate a layout in flash that is rendered to
an image and either (a) returned directly as binary data to the server-side
script or (b) saved locally on the server so that the server-side script can
access it.

It's steps 2 and 3 that have me stumped. How can I call a swf without a
browser, and by extension, without the Flash Player? Is there some way to
call a swf directly as an executable that can return output to the calling
process?

Thanks much!

Since none of them have any children, I would expect for their creation to be 
complete immediately--there's nothing else to be done in the creation process 
that hasn't already been done before the labels display in the TabNavigator.

[flexcoders] Check to see if component is visible

[mmormando]

Sorry if this explained in detail somewhere, but if it is I haven't been able 
to find it. I've got modules embedded in tabs, if the module isn't visible I 
don't want it to react to certain eventsthe problem is, every component 
I've checked, including the module itself, the visible property is "true". One 
suggestion I did find said that perhaps something in the "parent" chain would 
show as visible false...but this does not appear to be the case. 
Anyone have any suggestions?

[flexcoders] Run swf on server

[lagos_tout]

Hi, all.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to implement the following use case:

(1) a swf running in a browser on the client-side sends simple numeric data to 
a server-side script. 
(2) the server-side script calls a second swf located on the same server as the 
script, passing it the numeric data. 
(3) this swf uses the data to generate a layout in flash that is rendered to an 
image and either (a) returned directly as binary data to the server-side script 
or (b) saved locally on the server so that the server-side script can access it.

It's steps 2 and 3 that have me stumped. How can I call a swf without a 
browser, and by extension, without the Flash Player?  Is there some way to call 
a swf directly as an executable that can return output to the calling process?

Thanks much!

[flexcoders] Re: TabNavigator creationPolicy

[Richard Rodseth]

Created a test case below (creation policy is the default null). Most of the
time, the trace shows "One complete" and when you activate tabs Two and
Three you see the trace from those creationComplete events, as expected.

But I swear sometimes the Tab Three events fire at startup!

The docs for Container do say:
>>>
Navigator containers such as Accordion, TabNavigator, and ViewStack
implement the ContainerCreationPolicy.AUTO policy by creating all their
children immediately, but wait to create the deeper descendants of a child
until it becomes the selected child of the navigator container.
<<<

What I am seeing is not consistent with that either.

Thanks for any advice. I need a reliable way to defer the service calls
associated with each tab.

Hi Jason,

For the TitleWindow, the surrounding area is affected by the
borderAlpha.  For the canvas, you can set the backgroundColor (color is
a style for the text).  If you're setting these with AS, you need to use
myCanvas.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xff);

Hello,

I experience strange behavior when listening to MOUSE_OUT for an HBox.
Normally when MOUSE_OUT is created the mouse coordinates passed are outside
the HBox which is my expectation as well but sometimes MOUSE_OUT gets
created with coordinates inside the HBox (I check with "hitTestPoint").
Usually when this happens the mouse is just about to leave the HBox so it's

when simply moving the mouse within the HBox and this is really a problem.

Have you guys experienced something similar? Any guesses what could cause

[flexcoders] Questions about Canvas and TitleWindow

[Merrill, Jason]

I'm creating some components on the fly with Actionscript in an MXML
project.  

1)  For TitleWindow, where can I set the alpha of the surrounding
title bar area, or whatever it's called?  By default, it looks to be
about 20% alpha.  
2)  For Canvas, how can I set the color?  If I create it with code,
there is no color property (according to Flexbuilder), but if I use
MXML, there is.  It inherits from Container, and UIComponent, so I don't
understand why with Actionscript's the compiler is giving an error that
there is no color property.  

All I really want is a nice background container of some kind to hold a
.swf file - either one of these would see to do the job, if only I could
set those properties like I can in MXML.  Why do the properties
available seem to be inconsistent between MXML and Actionscript?

[flexcoders] Visual positioning difference between browsers [5 Attachments]

[Tom McNeer]

Hi,

I need to re-open a topic from last week.

I know this should not be possible, but the same Flex code, with the same
images and same positioning, has positioned elements differently in
different browsers.

In the code below, a TabNavigator is created within a Canvas. It sits on top
of a background image, which includes a horizontal bar. The tabs should fit
within the horizontal bar. At least, that's the idea. However, the vertical
positioning of the tabs is different in Firefox, Safari and IE (6 and 7).

I've attached screenshots showing the differences.

The relevant code is:











The CSS for the Application contains:

Application {
color: #081263;
backgroundColor:#9bc8f2;
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-image: Embed(source='assets/images/bg.png');

}

I've also attached the actual background png.

Has anyone seen anything like this, or have any ideas how to correct it?

Managing the eventual collisions are going to bring about a lot of work.

 

Person A downloads the file, Person B downloads the file, Person A uploads
the changed file, Person B uploads the changed file and kills Person A's
changes.

 

Unless you use a check-in/check-out mechanism and manage time-outs, 

Unless you use a document fragment approach (but now have fragment
collisions).

Unless you use a source code management type approach but those bring with
them a mountain of code.

RE: [flexcoders] set camera position for 3d content

[Kenneth Sutherland]

It's the perspectiveProjection.

When dealing with any 3D objects in flash 10 you really need to set this
or it will not behave as you'd expect.

 

Add the following line to your startup function

var persp : PerspectiveProjection = new PerspectiveProjection();

persp.projectionCenter = new Point(0, 0 );

 

then

  face.transform.perspectiveProjection = persp;

 

 

That will do for your example.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Mate and sharing data across files

[Tom McNeer]

Seona,

The first thing I see is that you have not declared thisUser as a new User.
In your initial code, either do:
public var thisUser:User = new User();

...or in your function, do:
thisUser:User = new User();

... then follow with your thisUser.id code.

Another suggestion, though. On the Flex side, you have a User class created
to use as a VO:

>
> [Bindable]
> public class User
>





... but the result of your service call is expecting an ArrayCollection:


public function login(userDetail:

ArrayCollection):Boolean {
if (userDetail.length > 0) {
   thisUser.id = userDetail.getItemAt(0).id as Number;
   return true;
}
return false;
}

Is UserDetail really an ArrayCollection? What's happening in your CFC
method? It appears as if you're passing a  object, so I'm guessing
you're doing a query based on the login information, and returning the query
object directly.

While that will work, you should think about having a matching User object
the CF side. The signature needs to be the same as that of User.as, and
User.as will need an "alias" statement at the top which refers to the CFC
dot-delimited path. Check the CF docs about this. Fill the User.cfc with the
data from your query, send the User object to Flex, and it will
automatically be converted into an object of the User class. No
ArrayCollection stuff.

Alternatively, from your query, you can create a "typed struct," which
"pretends" to be a User.cfc. Like this:



 (Note the two underscores
on either side of 'type.')



... and so on. Return the struct to Flex, and it will be typed as a User VO,
populated from CF.

How were you going to buy Flex Builder even if it was going to be available
on Linux?

[christophe_jacquelin]

Hello, 

I have an application with a tabnavigator.
I want that a given html page launch the application with a given panel open 
and another html page launch the application with the other panel open.

How to indicates to the SWF which panel to open ? 

Thank you,
