[flexcoders] SWFLoader showing images originally off the 'canvas'

2009-05-22 Thread twcrone70

In Flex I am trying to show "examples" of SWFs that run on portable devices in 
FlashLite.  I am able to open them in a Flex control (HBox, TitleWindow etc.) 
and pass necessariy parameters but some images that are normally off the 
'canvas' or 'stage' for the flash SWFs are showing up outside the container 
that I am loading the SWFs into.

Setting heights and widths seem to constrain the "main" part of the swf but the 
other stuff still appears off ends but within the boundaries of the Flex app 
itself.

Any ideas how to 'crop' the Flash lite SWFs?

Thanks,

- Todd

Re: [flexcoders] SWFLoader showing images originally off the 'canvas'

2009-05-22 Thread Clint Tredway

Use a canvas as a mask on the swf loader and that should work.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: simple array?

2009-05-22 Thread Charles Parcell

Why even have the Array aspect in the second example? It stands as a
pointless container for what we are seeing it used for. Unless there will be
some additional items added to it that we have not seen yet.

I just feel the need to point that out. :)

Re: [flexcoders] Re: simple array?

2009-05-22 Thread Charles Parcell

Additionally, utilizing a loop to locate an item can eat up cycles if the
list of codes gets to be large.  Granted that in the case of this example
looping 3 or even 10 items is likely not going to be an issue in anyway.
Something to think about if the application of this example is used
differently.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: modify item before binding to datagrid

2009-05-22 Thread Angelo Anolin

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your patience.  I did write the import code for the ObjectUtil class.

But I still cannot get things properly.

In your code, you have this..

return ObjectUtil.numericC ompare(itemA[ TrackTotal. col], itemB[TrackTotal. 
col]);

my dataGrid's ID is MydataGrid

what does the col pertains to? the column id defined for the datagrid?

Here's my datagrid mxml











The SupplierID is the numeric column.

But when I tried 

private function sortNumericColumn(itemA:Object, itemB:Object): int
{
return ObjectUtil.numericCompare(itemA[MydataGrid.SupplierID], 
itemB[MydataGrid.SupplierID]);
}
in the function you gave, I am getting the error:

Access of possibly undefined property SupplierID through a reference with 
static type mx.controls:DataGrid

Thanks a bunch for your patience.

2009-05-22 Thread Alan Klement


Well, you mention that classes that are used directly or indirectly are
garbage¹, but it¹s being used so they aren¹t garbage

If they were pulled in, then it¹s more than likely that what ever you are
trying to extract, depends on those garbage¹ classes.

// get the graphics object
var g:Graphics = graphics;

You can use the 'externs' command-line option to the Flex compiler to
tell Flex to exclude specific classes - as long as you're sure that
your code _will_ have access to them at runtime.

parseFloat is a player API.  I think it will localize with the OS language.  
There might be third-party localizable parseFloat equivalents somewhere.

[flexcoders] Local compile issue on Flex Builder 3 on OSX Leopard

2009-05-22 Thread Ryan

I am trying to help my boss set up a Flex project which works fine for me. He 
is on Mac, I am on PC. He can't compile in our properties files, even though he 
has them on his computer.

I access these files via a compiler variable pointing to an absolute path on my 
machine, ie: "C:\my\folder\etc\etc\locales\{locale}"

Below is the info from my boss's setup: 
("-source-path=/Users/doe/Documents/code/amp/trunk/locales/src/main/resources/locales/{locale}"
 is the bad part, everything else works fine!

Thanks!



Compiler argument:

-show-unused-type-selector-warnings=false -locale=en_US 
-source-path=/Users/doe/Documents/code/amp/trunk/locales/src/main/resources/locales/{locale};
 
-services=/Users/doe/Documents/code/amp/trunk/platform/platform-client/src/main/resources/services-config_LOCAL.xml
 -context-root=platform -default-background-color #FF

Error message
unable to open 
'/Users/doe/Documents/code/amp/trunk/locales/src/main/resources/locales/en_US;'

Test on OS:

$ cd 
/Users/doe/Documents/code/amp/trunk/locales/src/main/resources/locales/en_US
$ ls
platformResources.properties
$

So the path is valid per the OS.

[flexcoders] Multi-column drop-in checkbox renderer

2009-05-22 Thread Richard Rodseth

I am creating a CheckBox item renderer (redacted code at the end of this
post). Using the static methods that return a ClassFactory lets me tell the
renderer which column it applies to, as follows:

itemRenderer="{PermissionCheckBox.factory('columnName')}"

The renderer dispatches a bubbling event, for which I have to attach a
listener using AS (or create a subclass of the grid that adds Event
metadata):

private function onCreationComplete(event:Event):void {


myGrid.addEventListener(ChangePermissionEvent.CHANGE_PERMISSION,
onPermissionChange, false,0,true);

}

So far, so good. What's the cleanest way to get the checkbox selected state
to bind to the property indicated by dataField (or columnName).

Do I have to resort to something like this:

http://techmytongue.blogspot.com/2009/04/reuse-itemrenderers-for-multiple.html

or go back to an inline renderer?

The effect I want is:
Ihttp://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";

[flexcoders] session.getAttribute("somekey") returning NULL in SessionDestroyed

Hi all,
session.getAttribute("somekey") is returning null  in 
SessionDestroyed() method of flex listener.

Below are the steps I am following 

1) I am adding flexLister in contextInitialized method of ServletContextListener

   FlexSession.addSessionCreateListener(myListener) 

2) In sessionCreate method 
sessionCreated(FlexSession session) {
   session.addSessionDestroyListener(this)

}   
3) some where in applicaion I am putting a key vlaue pair in session like this

FlexContext.getSession().setAttribute("somekey" , someVlue)  ;


The issue is when I try to retreive vale from session

her is how I m retreiving value 

   sessionDestroyed(FlexSession session) {

  session.getAttribute("somekey"); this return null WHY ?

   }


This is always returning me null

Pls note that I am RTMP channel and  version of LCDS is 2.6 

I also tried RTMPFlexSession 

  RTMPFlexSession.addSessionCreateListener(myListener) 

but no luck  , still got null 

Am I doing anything wrong  ?

The code is in ListBase.as: the selectItem function (called from
mouseDownHandler).

// allow unselecting via ctrl-click
if (ctrlKey && selectedData[uid])
{
selectionChange = true;
clearSelected(transition);
}

Here's the solution.

 1.  Make a custom class, MyList.

public class MyList extends List
{
override protected function selectItem(item:IListItemRenderer,
shiftKey:Boolean, ctrlKey:Boolean,
transition:Boolean = true):Boolean
{
var index:int = itemRendererToIndex(item);

if (index == selectedIndex)
ctrlKey = true;

return super.selectItem(item, shiftKey, ctrlKey, transition);
}
}

 2.  Use this class as the dropdown in the ComboBox.

  

Tada!

If you intend to parse a string like "1.234,56", I think you'll have
to run it through a NumberFormatter first ("1234.56") before you send

[flexcoders] Re: Waiting for Flash Player to connect to the debugger

2009-05-22 Thread a.scavarelli

Hmm, I often get problems like this when, for some reason, another instance of 
the debugger/player is running. Try making sure you are always closing each 
instance properly after running your program. Also check out your task manager 
to see if there are any running in the background.

Hopefully that helps. If not, hopefully another wiser can :)

Did you install the Debug version of Flash Player?

The command-line debugger (fdb) listens for the player to connect on
port 7935. So on OS X you could run this command to see if another
instance is already listening:

lsof -i | grep 7935

Output:

java  5408 manish6u  IPv6 0x395ba24  0t0  TCP *:7935 (LISTEN)

That most likely is fdb. You can kill it using its PID:

kill -9 5408

I don't know if this'll work for Flex Builder though.

NumberFormatter input is a number, whereas parsing should occur on strings
already localized ("1 234,56"=>1234.56).

Re: [flexcoders] Multi-column drop-in checkbox renderer

2009-05-22 Thread Richard Rodseth

 In that case, I would expect my subclass of CheckBox to do the same. I've
added a super call as follows:

override public function set data(value:Object):void {
super.data = value;
_row = value as MyRow;
}

and set the dataField on the column.

Consider the following example from the documentation:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/cellrenderer_5.html

I added the "Change" button to change the underlying data. It only works if
I call refresh() on the collection. Is that expected? If so, then I might be
on the right track if I get the right incantation of rendererIsEditor,
dataField, editorDataField etc.

That's not true. You can pass a string to NumberFormatter.

See this example:

 var nf:NumberFormatter = new NumberFormatter();

  nf.decimalSeparatorFrom = ",";
  nf.thousandsSeparatorFrom = ".";
  nf.decimalSeparatorTo = ".";
  nf.thousandsSeparatorTo = "";

  var s:String = nf.format("1.234,56");

  trace(s);

  var f:Number = parseFloat(s);

  trace(f);

The Flex compiler (mxmlc) doesn't know about "projects". If Flex

Two good points.

I used an Array, as I wrote, to try to show how Jason might have done what he 
had initially intended using arrays. I didn't mean to suggest that that's how 
it would be best done. Sorry for confusion. I guess I just like the similarity 
of arrays and objects - something that is not seen in all languages.

As for efficiency, I would probably go with static const int's (in lieu of 
enums) and use an array. This would require to iterating - just simple offset 
into array. Something like,

static const PAYMENT_TYPE_AC:int = 0;
static const PAYMENT_TYPE_RN:int = 1;
static const PAYMENT_TYPE_CP:int = 2;
static const PAYMENT_TYPE_CR:int = 3;

static const PAYMENT_MESSAGES:Array = 
[
"Remember to reset the station 
address.",
"Remember to reset the station 
expiration date.",
"Remember to contact contractor to 
remove the certificates from this station.",
"Remember to cancel the refund payment."

[flexcoders] Problem importing classes with D.eval

2009-05-22 Thread Alexandre Demeure

Hi,

I write you again because I haven't manage to use D.importClass(Label); 
However, by using personnal classes, I was able to indirectly create labels, 
here is
the code:
I have try to create a personal class which inerit of Label class
or which have a Label property. The two working examples show how I did :

Example 1 what it works :


 http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
creationComplete="init()"
layout="vertical" cornerRadius="0" alpha="1.0" backgroundGradientAlphas="[1.0,
1.0]" backgroundGradientColors="[#EF0808, #F6E8E8]" color="#22B21B"
borderColor="#202FC1">
 
 
 
 


maClasse.as :

package 
{
import mx.controls.Label;
public class maClasse extends Label
{
public function maClasse(name:String)
{
super();
super.text = name;
}
}
}

Example 2 what it works (just maClasse changed) : 

maClasse.as :

package 
{
import mx.controls.Label;
public class maClasse
{
public var lab:Label;
public function maClasse(name:String)
{
super();
lab = new Label();
super.text = name;
}
}
}

_
These examples work pretty fine. No runtime error.
However it's still impossible to directly import and use a Label with D.eval,
following code fails at runtime:


The error message is :

Runtime Error: msg.rt.no.class [line:1]
at r1.deval.rt::CallExpr/getAny()
at r1.deval.rt::ExprStmt/exec()
at r1.deval.rt::Block/exec()

at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply()
at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher2()
at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()


_
We suspect a problem with namespace or something like that (Label is defined 
under a
specific namespace)
But we don't know how to import a namespace in D.eval neither how to use the
namespaceand neither if it's really the problem ;o)

Does anyone have an idea about that problem?

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid Server Side Sorting

2009-05-22 Thread mutyonok

Hi. 
I have AdvancedDataGrid with server side pagination and sorting.

The thing I cannot implement is showing sort triangles in datagrid headers.

The only way i've found is manually listen SORT event and set collection.sort 
property of my dataProvider - but then when I change collection.source it 
causes collection.refresh() on my dataProvider's collection and it sorts again 
in Flex :(

So some fields sorted in wrong way (differently as I sorted them on server (in 
DB))

Please help me :)

[flexcoders] Dynamic Org Chart - Needed

2009-05-22 Thread caliventures

Hi.

New to flexcoders. Not a developer. Talking to a guy from Adobe who said I 
should post here. I'm trying to figure out how to create an Org Chart/Tree 
Chart app similar to academia.edu/geni.com.

Cristophe said that flex/actionscript would be the way to go, and said I might 
find resources/people here that I could talk to to figure this out.

Rather than bog the list with too much stuff if this isn't the right place, I'd 
rather talk offline with anybody that can/wants to help. I'm more than willing 
to add more information on this thread if it's the right thing to do!

The goal of this is to also potentially release this back to the open source 
community, as my need for this is kind of tangental to my targeted goal.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Filtering multiple conditions in an arraycollection

2009-05-22 Thread kaushal.shah05

I want to filter a datagrid by multiple criteria.   I would like to have 
several types of components (checkbox, slider, textfield, etc) to filter, each 
one 

set to filter a particular datafield (asset_status, serial, tagsee data 
structure) in the arraycollection.   

The filterfunction does not work.  When I click type in the textbox or check 
any checkboxes, it does not retreive the intended results.   My entire code is 
below.   

The data source structure from the httpservice is listed before the code.

Appreciate any help.

[flexcoders] Vector issues when using child application domains

2009-05-22 Thread Gordon Hirsch

If I use a SWFLoader to load two sub-applications in child application 
domains (loadForCompatibility=false), and if each sub-application 
defines a type of the same name, "Thing", then it doesn't seem possible 
to use the type Vector. in both sub-applications. (The Thing type 
is *not* known to the parent application.)

The first sub-application can declare a Vector. and add Thing 
objects to it, but if the second sub-app tries to do the same, a type 
error is thrown.

Is this a known limitation of Vector/sub-applications? Are there any 
known workarounds?

There's some code that demonstrates the problem attached to 
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1986. Here's an example of the 
stack trace I get:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert 
th...@3786461 to Thing.

[flexcoders] Tile and 100% width

2009-05-22 Thread Maciek Sakrejda

If I create a Tile element with a percent-based width (and leave the
height unset), it uses some weird method to determine the height, and
it's typically two to three times as tall as it needs to be. Any
suggestions for how to work around this? I'd like the tile to be 100%
the width of its parent container, but just tall enough to fit its
children.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: simple array?

Not that I think it is the best way, but the way I had originally suggested
(which seemed to get over looked) was as follows.

var records:Object = {
"AC": "Remember to reset the station address.",
"RN": "Remember to reset the station expiration date.",
"CP": "Remember to contact contractor to remove the certificates from
this station.",
"CR": "Remember to cancel the refund payment."
};

var CODE:String = grid.selectedItem.PAYMENT_TYPE_CODE;
if(records[CODE] != null ){
Alert.show(records[CODE]);
}

[flexcoders] FlexBuilder design-mode wierdness...

2009-05-22 Thread Laurence MacNeill

Ok, all of the sudden one of my components can't be rendered in 
Design Mode anymore...  I have no clue why...

Is there some sort of size-restriction?  Like, the length of the file 
can't be longer than a certain length or Design Mode won't 
work?  That's the only thing I can think of.

It's just this one file that won't render at all in Design Mode - no 
errors or anything, just a blank screen when I try to go into Design 
Mode to look at the file...

Anyone have any clue at all as to why it's suddenly doing this?
