[flexcoders] drag drop tree to tree onto node, not between nodes

[Mic]

Will Flex recognize a drop onto a node? The visual position bar when moving the 
drop up and down the destination tree displays between nodes. When we first add 
a mgr to the HR tree, that mgr is a leaf. Want to trap a drop directly onto the 
mgr so can turn him/her into a branch and add people reporting to him/her. 
Cannot drop beneath as that would be a legal peer. TIA,

Mic.

[Pan Troglodytes]

3.3.0.  I also get it with 4.0.0.6137.  Just downloaded and got it in 6772,
too.  I'm using player version 10,0,12,36.  Do you need to know anything
about my Flex Builder version?  Let me know anything else I can provide.

When you say you don't get it with the soon-to-be 3.4, what exactly do you
mean?  You just don't get the run-time warning?  Did you track down why it
would be okay with "x" and see if that's still doing whatever weird thing it
is in 3.4?

RE: [flexcoders] .csv import stuff

[Tracy Spratt]

You will have two delimiters.  One, the "row" delimiter is a "newline" or
"carriage-return" or both.  The other is the "field" delimeter, often but
not always a comma.

 

Google this and I think you will find some examples.  I haven't parsed a csv
file in actionscript myself.  In .net, you actually read the file one line
at a time, then parse that.  

 

I do not know if the best wasy to do it inas would be to parse the rows into
an array using split() with the newline(maybe chr(13))?, then in a nested
loop using split(",").

 

Like I said, google this.

[flexcoders] Re: Setting currentState from a function located a child mxml file

[Tim Hoff]

While I've also suggested using these in the past, in the spirit of
loose coupling, the prefered method would be to dispatch an event, from
the component, that would trigger the drillDown method in the parent;
where the states are actually located.  This way the child doesn't know
or care about the parent and can be reused elsewhere.  This also
elliminates the need to maintain the state names in multiple classes;
should any name changes become necessary.  Basically, it's not best
practice to control a parent's state directly, from a child.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom List Item Render to have multiline (so variable Height)

[elysianbob]

Looking for an answers on how to solve my ItemRenderer height 100% woes, I 
stumbled on this post (and subsequently FlexCoders!) and have a few questions.

After taking the advice below to override measure and set minHeight and 
invalidateSize() on my Text controls dataChange event, it appears to almost be 
working in giving me the right size hiding.

A few things I can't figure out, and maybe somebody could help answers, is it 
seems like the first item in the list upon load is way beyond the normal 
height.  It only looks normal after dragging the list down and back up again.  
I'm guessing it's coming from this added height:

measuredHeight = theTextID.textHeight + 40 ;

I can't seem to force it on creationComplete or anything like that.  Other than 
that, it looks like from time to time the same error occurs on other members of 
the list pretty randomly on the first few scrolls.

Getting close here!  Anyone have any ideas?

Subject: [flexcoders] using "as" breaks data binding?





I've run across some peculiar behavior and I am trying to figure out if I 
should report it and if so, how exactly to explain it.  Given these two bits of 
code:

TestObject.as:
package
{
  public class TestObject
  {
[Bindable] public var a:uint = 2;
[Bindable] public var b:uint = 3;
[Bindable] public var x:uint = 1;
  }
}

Main Application:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
  >
  

  
  

  

  
  
  

  

  
  


If you run this application, you get the following warnings:
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'

There's a couple of things that stand out here.  First, it doesn't complain 
about properties "x" or "a".  The reason it doesn't complain about property "a" 
is that I used "TestObject(data).a" instead of "(data as TestObject).a".  If 
you change it to the other way around, you will get a warning on "a" as well.  
I find this rather bizarre, as I thought there was no functional difference to 
the two, other than "as" returning null if the object wasn't of the appropriate 
type rather than just erroring out like straight type coercion does.  But type 
coercion/as are very (ahem) "lightly" documented so I admit I don't know a lot. 
 But I don't think it's because of the null problem, since you can replace it 
with "TestObject(null).b" and it stops giving the warning.

The second weird thing is that it doesn't complain about "x" when using "(data 
as TestObject).x" like it does with a.  As you can see, it's claiming this 
error is on GenericTest_inlineComponent1.  This is significant because it 
appears that it's instead doing some binding to the "x" property on the item 
renderer, which is very odd.  You can try this yourself by changing "x" to 
other strings.  Ones where there is a property of HBox named the same thing 
won't give you a warning.  Others will.

Yet for all this griping, it seems the data binding IS working.  If you click 
on the button, you'll see all the labels in the list change as the data is 
being changed.

So, anyone want to shed some light on these two behaviors?

[flexcoders] Flash Speed test - RESULTS !

[tom s]

Thanks to all those who took part in my Flash speed test a few weeks ago. I'd
like to share back the results, but I must caveat that I only got a small
amount of data, so these results are not statically significant.

The Purpose
=
I wanted to know how consistent the timing is in Flash across the plethora
of web browsers out there in the wild. I had been working on a app that
somewhat reliest on consistent timing, hence my curiosity.

The Method
=
I wrote a very simple app using the flex framework, that did the following:

1. Set the framerate to x
2. Measure the system time (getTimer())
3. Add an event listener to Event.ENTER_FRAME
4. on each frame enter, increment a counter, until the counter == x * 10
5. Measure the system time again, and deduct the value from (2)
6. Compute the implied framerate as (x * 10)/ value from (5)
7. Capture OS/Browser setup from UserAgent string, using JS.
8. send data to server (GAE)

I did this for x=24 and for x=1000

Known Experimental Deficiencies
=

a) getTimer may not be accurate
b) incrementing a counter once per frame is not representative of the real
computational load most apps would place per frame
c) individual system performance varies with time, e.g. with the load placed
by other apps, with GC, etc
d) I don't know enough about the internals on the Flash player, or the
browsers, to really know what's going on in there, and what else might make
this experiment flawed (unknown unknowns...)
e) Some of the data points came from the same PCs (including mine)
f) Most tests were done on developers' machines, which are not
representative of the average machine
g) I didn't test anything between x=24 and x=1000, and there may be speeds
between 24 and 1000 that operate very differently.


Results
==
Data Set:
data points (n) = 134
n By OS - Mac: 28, Win: 100, Linux: 6

Discussion

None of this data is statistically significant, as there isn't enough of it,
but a few patterns emerge nonetheless. To prevent me peppering this section
with qualifying words, like 'maybe', 'perhaps', etc I shall present these
observations as facts, though they clearly ARE NOT.

1) You can't get higher than 60 FPS on Mac when you request 1000 FPS
2) Requesting 24 FPS on a Mac gives varied results. Safari 4 seems pretty
reliable, unless the machine is running PowerPC. FF 3.0.z delivers a mean on
20.6 FPS, which 14% slow of the target 24 FPS
3) Windows is very different to Mac
4) The max FPS on windows is highly dependent on the browser.
5) The actual FPS on windows when FPS 1000 is requested for a specific
browser is pretty consistent - FF 3.0.8 is clustered around 900, Chrome is
clustered around 180, IE is clustered around 60
6) The actual FPS on Windows when FPS 24 is requested is pretty reliable on
all browsers, averaging 23.1 FPS
7) The actual FPS on Windows and Mac when requesting FPS 24 never exceeded
24.2 FPS - i.e. you 'never' get a speed that's too fast.

To summarize these point observations: don't rely on actually getting the
FPS that you request, and don't rely on what you do get being consistent
across browsers and OSs. It appears that FPS 24 is a fairly safe bet (but
FPS 40 might be too, for all I know). If you can, write apps
that don't require the FPS to be correct for the app to  function properly
(i.e. dont try to derive time from a count of ENTER_FRAME,
either implicitly or explicitly). Test extensively across browsers and OSs,
especially cross Windows-Mac.

I'd be interested to hear what you all think - what important things have I
missed?

cheers

I use JSON so it better to put evrything on an array, maybe this approach

I think I could do that with the array decoded by json, that is... if I can
manage to understand the whole idea.

Please, could you maybe put some example code so I can make a better mind

RE: [flexcoders] Re: dynamic labels with public variable

[Tracy Spratt]

Glad you got it.

 

One more piece of advice, avoid using lastResult in AS code.  It is intended
for use in binding expressions only.  Normally, it is not a problem, but in
more complex architectures, lastResult can be null or can contain what you
do not expect.

I have never done anything like it, you think you can maybe, elaborate a little 
more? a little example, I'm kind of bad at theory.

I use JSON so it better to put evrything on an array, maybe this approach can 
be used like that?

I think I could do that with the array decoded by json, that is... if I can 
manage to understand the whole idea.

Please, could you maybe put some example code so I can make a better mind image 
of it? thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] .csv import stuff

[Weyert de Boer]

What do you mean with browse? You can just load the file using  
FileReference.load() and then just show it.
Just  split the text of the file by \n\r (or just \r) and then split  
every line by the separator (normally the comma). After parsing the  
first line

you could use those as the keys for the array you construct.

I would think something like below could work:

var data: Array = [];
var values: Array;
var lines: Array = data.split( "\n\r" );
for ( var i: Number=0; i < lines.length; i++ ) {
var line: String = lines[i];
values = line.split(",");
// do something
   data.push(values);
}


Weyert de Boer






is there any nice and easy way to 'Browse' .csv file on flex
and after that send 'Import Request' to php and php will import  
this .csv file's data to database.?


any thought on this stuff!!?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Anyone using Flex with LCDS & ColdFusion

[João Fernandes]

Charles, LCDS brings Flex applications to a new level of data centric 
applications.
LCDS is a super-set of BlazeDS, everything it's in Blaze is also 
available in LCDS. LCDS does however contain a Data Management service 
which relies on Messaging to keep all your clients connected to the same 
data in sync. Other key features is support for RTMP and NIO endpoints 
that allow you to support 1000+ concurrent users per server when BlazeDS 
doesn't support more than a few hundreds. I know that Farata System guys 
did add support for NIO but don't know if they provided it publicly and 
free of charge.

[flexcoders] Re: dynamic labels with public variable

[Jason B]

Thanks Tracy 
I put that into a try catch statement and still get the 
ReferenceError: Error #1069
but it's working now? Should i be concerned with the error

I tried only one line to less complicate things

try{

this["public_" + whichmeal + "_image1"] = urlpath +  
createmeal_http.lastResult.breakfast.itemdata[id].imgsource;
  
  }catch(err:Error){
Alert.show(err.toString());
  }

Re: [flexcoders] Anyone using Flex with LCDS & ColdFusion

[João Fernandes]

Brendan, I daily fight against LCDS + CF problems too. Sorry if I missed 
any previous emails but flexcoders is quite heavy in email traffic.

I'm currently running with CF8.0.1 and LCDS 2.6. Didn't upgrade to 2.6.1 
since it seems there are a lot of new bugs.
So, what issues do you have with this combo?

Re: [flexcoders] session pooling with Flex/SQLServer w/o ColdFusion?

[Mike Chabot]

If that tool is single threaded then don't use it since that would be
a significant downside. Instead, use a programming language like PHP,
Java, .NET, or ColdFusion.

Re: [flexcoders] Collaborative project: realtime ActionScript WMA converter

[Sam Lai]

This should be possible in theory, given Microsoft Silverlight has
just added support for doing this exact thing in Silverlight 3 (and
there is a project for providing Ogg Vorbis support going on).

Who knows what the licensing implications here are though. The only
WMA decoder I know of that has source available is the one inside
ffmpeg. Performance would be an interesting thing.

It might be worth trying to get something going on Alchemy instead,
mainly for better performance (without the AS overhead).

[flexcoders] session pooling with Flex/SQLServer w/o ColdFusion?

[Mic]

All of our business logic is within stored procedures so we do not need 
ColdFusion logic. We bought one of the Flex webservices (FlexSQL) to get 
started, but this is single-threaded. Is it possible to create a pool of 
webservices? Not sure how how one would bundle them as they would have no 
knowledge of each other. Any ideas greatly appreciated.
