But there's nothing apparent going on that should create high usage -- no video, no effects -- just some simple forms. I've spent the day commenting out pieces to boil the app down to its essence, to try to see where this problem is creeping in. But it seems to come from multiple components, all of which are fairly simple forms, with some validations, some bindings to properties on an object being edited -- pretty much, the usual stuff. Yet, I'm sitting here looking at the app, trimmed down to where only one of these form elements exists within a tabNavigator, and I'm seeing almost 40% usage with (apparently) nothing happening. There's no memory problem -- the profiler shows maybe 15Mb going to the application. But the CPU is going crazy. I've tested on several machines, and the high CPU usage is consistent, although, of course, the actual percentage varies.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex unloading SFW- memory management
Hi all,
I m facing a problem with dynamic loading/unloading of swf. I'm using a
class mycustomSWFLoader which extends SWFLoader and which use an instance
of Loader class to load swf files (graphics data) from serialized SWF in
bytearrays.
All seem to be ok, I can display any of my swf, but the flash player does
not free memory (the previous loaded swf) when I load a new swf.
I have tried this approach :
class myCustomSWFLoader extends SWFLoader {
public function loadSWF(myByteArray: ByteArray):void {
if(_loader != null) {
// Call the unload stop on _loader object
_loader.unloadAndStop();
// Call the unload stop on THIS
unloadAndStop();
} else {
_loader = new Loader();
_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
swfLoaded);
MY_CONTAINER.addChild(this);
}
if(myByteArray)
_loader.loadBytes(myByteArray);
else
source = null;
}
...
I'm not sure about how the flash player handdle the unloadAndStop() but what
is sure is that each time I call my method memory usage increases by 2Mb
Any help would be much appreciated !
Thanks by advance

[flexcoders] Setting Up RTMP Failover Mechanism ( LCDS Jboss )
Hello everyone,
I've been struggling with the classic problem of rtmp connections failing to
function because of a few clients specific proxy / firewall configuration.
After lurking the adobe blogs, coder articles and documentation, i've ran out
of ideas on how to get rtmp fallback to rtmpt tunneling.
As I understood recently, the rtmp fallback mechanism is not automatic
and need a wee bit of tweaking (seen on
http://www.infoaccelerator.net/blog/post.cfm/setting-up-rtmpt-failover-on-lcds).
yet, I cannot get to work the setup described in the article.
here is our services-config :
!-- NIO based endpoints --
channel-definition id=my-rtmp class=mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel
endpoint url=rtmp://{server.name}:2043
class=flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint/
properties
connection-idle-timeout-minutes0/connection-idle-timeout-minutes
block-rtmpt-polling-clientstrue/block-rtmpt-polling-clients
/properties
/channel-definition
channel-definition id=my-rtmpt class=mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel
endpoint url=rtmpt://{server.name}:80
class=flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint/
properties
block-rtmpt-polling-clientsfalse/block-rtmpt-polling-clients
idle-timeout-minutes20/idle-timeout-minutes
/properties
/channel-definition
before event thinking of setting up the fallback mechanism, I'm trying to have
the connections working through the my-rtmpt channel and it fails.
The classic rtmp channel works perfectly and we've never had any problem with
it (before).
I've tried to define the rtmpt channel with no ports specificaly bound;
I've also tried to explicitly bind it to port 80 (like in the configuration
above) and set the jboss server.xml default web instance to 8081 but it also
fails (or by keeping it on 8080).
I'm starting to seriously run out of options here so if anyone could help me
i'd be greatly appreciative.
If you don't have time to help, any link to a related post would be greatly
appreciated, or even better : a working example of a correct setup of rtmp
fallback mechanism.
Thank you for your time and thanks in advance for the help.

Of course, there are many ways to do this, but one simple approach would be to
pass a reference to the dataGrid into the pop-up. That would give you access

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex DataGrid Filter via Popup Window
Some updates on this.
Instead of the codes inside a function, what I did was create a custom MXML
Component (selecting File | New | MXML Component) and selecting TileWindow on
the Based As dropdown list.
In the button, I created a function that calls the MXML component via the
following codes:
private function launchFilterDialog( ) :void
{
var winFilter:FilterDia log = PopUpManager. createPopUp( this, FilterDialog,
true) as FilterDialog;
PopUpManager. centerPopUp( winFilter) ;
}
Next step is to be able to pass the column names as defined in the datagrid and
bind those column names into the combo box which I placed in the MXML component.
So I am left with the following things to do:
1. Get the column names of the datagrid which is in the calling flex
application.
2. Pass those column names into the MXML component and bind them into the combo
box.
3. When a selection is made on the filter dialog window and valid filter is
specified, clicking on the OK button would filter the datagrid of the calling
flex application.
4. A clear button would clear the filter(s) specified on the datagrid.
Inputs would be highly appreciated in doing Item no. 1

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex DataGrid Filter via Popup Window
Hello FlexCoders,
I am trying to implement a datagrid filtering mechanism to datagrids in my
application.
In this process, I want to show a popup window where it would act like a
response window. The popup window will contain three controls, namely, two
comboboxes, and a textinput control. One of the combo box would contain the
columns currently displayed in the datagrid. The other combo box would contain
common comparison operators (i.e. =, !=, , , like, etc.). Of course, there
would also be two buttons - OK and Cancel to perform the filter operations.
I found a popup panel example here..
http://blog. flexexamples. com/2007/ 08/06/creating- custom-pop- up-windows-
with-the- popupmanager- class/
But in this example, he is defining the content of the popup panel.
Since we know that the controls in the popup panel is fixed, would it be
possible to just create another control which contains the controls we have
defined? Then, the combobox panel would be populated with the columns in the
datagrid where it was called. When the column selection from the combo box is
made, the operator also selected and the text input is filled up with the value
to filter, clicking on OK button would filter the datagrid.
Another reason that I wanted that the filter mechanism reusable because I have
a lot of mxml with datagrid that

Re: [flexcoders] High CPU usage
Rick and Fotis, Thanks for your suggestions. It was the fact that none of the visual/redrawing actions you discuss were going on that mystified me. The problem was elsewhere. And Rick, I didn't post code because the problem seemed to involve the interaction of a whole stack of view components. The problem, however, was not in the Flex application at all, but rather in some other things that were going on with the machine. What appeared to be a rather constant high usage from Flex was in fact a rather normal spike in CPU usage from the Flex app, that under normal conditions would be momentary. Other processes were causing the Flex app to hang fire, making it seem as if Flex was creating a constant load. Thanks again for your suggestions. And I apologize for misinterpreting the problem.

You should try calling validateNow() on the Label object.
Either that, or call your own invalidateDisplayList() and let
updateDisplayList() take care of triggering the effect.
public function set marqueeText(value:String):void

if (label.text != value) {
label.text = value;
invalidateDisplayList();

override protected function updateDisplayList(...):void

Re: [flexcoders] High CPU usage
Tom no problem. If you find that this is highly reproducible I¹d be interested to know how the operating system drag¹ is generated. Rick Winscot On 5/27/09 9:00 AM, Tom McNeer tmcn...@gmail.com wrote: Rick and Fotis, Thanks for your suggestions. It was the fact that none of the visual/redrawing actions you discuss were going on that mystified me. The problem was elsewhere. And Rick, I didn't post code because the problem seemed to involve the interaction of a whole stack of view components. The problem, however, was not in the Flex application at all, but rather in some other things that were going on with the machine. What appeared to be a rather constant high usage from Flex was in fact a rather normal spike in CPU usage from the Flex app, that under normal conditions would be momentary. Other processes were causing the Flex app to hang fire, making it seem as if Flex was creating a constant load. Thanks again for your suggestions. And I apologize for misinterpreting the problem. But ... it was a messy problem. Just glad I finally figured out what was happening.
[flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder makes my app freeze
Ok, this is getting more strange. I commented EVERYTHING out, and it still froze, so I created a new flex 2 app. It froze. Just to make sure I wasn't insane, I created an entirely new project, switched the sdk to Flex 2 hotfix 3 and it froze again. Is something missing in my FB install? I'm currently redownloading the flex 2 sdk to see if mine is corrupt or something like that.

I'm using a class mycustomSWFLoader which extends SWFLoader and which use an instance of Loader class to load swf files (graphics data) from serialized SWF in bytearrays. All seem to be ok, I can display any of my swf, but the flash player does not free memory (the previous loaded swf) when I load a new swf. Your SWF has to do a number of things before it can be unloaded: 1. Stop any running timers 2. Remove any 'enterFrame' event listeners 3. Close any open network connections 4. Remove any objects added to the stage 5. Remove any event listeners from the stage 6. Call dispose() on any BitmapData objects 7. Stop any sound that's playing and close the stream Etc. unloadAndStop() does some of this. But some of it you have to do on your own. For instance, you'll have to remove any event listeners or any other references to objects inside your SWF on your own.

RE: [flexcoders] Digest Number 10715
Tim Rowe wrote: The use of 'VO's in Flex has always confused me, largely because as everyone I've spoken to has explained it, all a 'Value' object is is just a Model object - therefore WTF are they being referred to as 'VO's when 'Object' (or Model object) would suffice. Tim, I have always thought of a model and a VO or DTO differently. I think this is a good quick explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Transfer_Object From an MVC perspective, I think a model class contains information sure, but it can and often does contain methods to run logic on data, to retrieve data, to broadcast that data is ready or changed, etc. A Value Object (VO) or Data Transfer Object (DTO) - (two terms for the same thing, I usually call them VOs because you don't always transfer them per se) are simple classes that only contain properties that can be get and/or set. They do not contain methods, constructors, or any other form of logic. They are dumb in a sense, only serving as information repositories. There is good logic in this I think. I use them all the time. And I don't think they are only for moving data around in, they are useful in single session storing of information. So often a model contains references to (say in as a property which could be the VO directly or several in an Array or ArrayCollection) and also may change data within VOs, as well as broadcast when something changes. That's my perspective anyway.

[flexcoders] Calling invalidateProperties during validateProperties
It seems that if during the validateProperties call,l I change some random properties and one of them calls invalidateProperties() in order to complete processing during the next commmitProperties() phase, the commitProperties never runs. This is because at the end of processing the initial validateProperties the invalidation flag is cleared so blocking the next commitProperties from running. Is that right and how to work around it for general properties. tks
Re: [flexcoders] Calling invalidateProperties during validateProperties
I think normally if changing property1 also calls for a change in property2, that change should happen in the setter for property1.

[flexcoders] Re: Calling invalidateProperties during validateProperties
Well an example would be where there say half a dozen related properties that get set, these individualy call invalidateProperties and will then be collectively processed in commitPorperties on the next frame. In that processing events are raised to notify changes, however the handlers for those events could lead to other properties being set that in turn will call invalidateProperties which of course fails. The thing is I have no idea when that situation will happen as its ooutside my component and in any particular call to invalidateProperties there is nothing I can check to say 'oh I am already in commitProperties so I need to use callLater or smtg'. At the moment I have tried to fix it by overriding validateProperties and setting a flag called inCommitProperties and then overriding invalidateProperties and if the flag is set I then either use a callLater or set another flag needToCommitAgain which I then check at the end of validateProperties and if set I run commitProperties again.

That's a perfectly reasonable error. Both things compile to a class called CustomSkin - and you can't have two classes in the same project called CustomSkin.

RE: [flexcoders] Need Alternative for enterFrame event (Causing Memory leak )
ExternalInteface.addCallback does lock whatever function you pass it and the object associated with it. To avoid that you register a function in the main app with ExternalInterface since you won't be destroying the main app until you are truly done, then have it call anybody you need. To deal with knowing when setFocus gets called try FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN Alex Harui Flex SDK Developer Adobe Systems Inc.http://www.adobe.com/ Blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Manish Jethani Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 1:43 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Need Alternative for enterFrame event (Causing Memory leak ) On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 1:38 AM, Dharmendra Chauhan chauhan_i...@yahoo.commailto:chauhan_icse%40yahoo.com wrote: Please , suggest some alternative for EnterFrame event which gets fired on set focus event. activate?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Calling invalidateProperties during validateProperties
Generally there should be one and only one correct path of validation of properties so you don't need to go back as that is going to cost you time. The pattern is usually to set a flag (myPropertyChanged) when the property is in need of validation, and you can check at the end of your commitProperties for these flags and simply call commitProperties recursively.

RE: [flexcoders] Cause Label to resize after setting text
Thanks, all.
I called:
myLabel.validateNow()
and declared a handler on the myLabel.resize event, did my event logic in
there, and all seems to be working fine.

You should try calling validateNow() on the Label object.
Either that, or call your own invalidateDisplayList() and let
updateDisplayList() take care of triggering the effect.
public function set marqueeText(value:String):void
{
if (label.text != value) {
label.text = value;
invalidateDisplayList();
}
}
override protected function updateDisplayList(...):void

RE: [flexcoders] Converting XML Data Retrieved from Web Service to ArrayCollection
I suggest that in your serviceResultHandler you do something like:
var oTemp:Object
var xl:XMLList = _xmlData.children();
For ( var i:int=0;xl.length();i++) {
oTemp = { SupplierID:xl[i].SupplierId.text(), CompanyName:
xl[i].CompanyName.text(), . }
arrDP.addItem(oTemp);
}
Still better would be to create a VO with strongly typed
properties(SupplierID. etc) rather than the generic Object.

Hi FlexCoders,
I am able to retrieve an XML data from a backend (ASP.NET) webservice and

Ugh, instead of that horrid, unreadable, un-debuggable code, create a custom
component, pass in currentItem, and code that component normally. To use
htmltext in mxml, you will have to use CData or use entity references for
the special chars. Instead, build the html string in an AS function. You
will actually be able to debug it.

Good idea. I was creating a tutorial so I was trying to put it all in one
mxml file. I'll make a note of it. If someone is reading this and has to do
it like the code above you would just need to convert the less than
character like so:

You mentioned something about creating a VO with strongly typed properties.
Care to show some links/examples on how to achieve this?
