[flexcoders] SuperTab Navigator Help

[ajayashish]

I am using supertab Navigator in one of the application i am designing. The
idea is that... 

the user is asked for his education information in one tab.. which is
must... if he has more information then he can click on the button and one
more tab is added in the navigation. At present the button is placed at the
bottom of the window. I want to give it a look like the IE7. Where the add
button is placed next to the tabs. 

Can anyone help. 

Just to clear i am a UI designer and am not into a lot of coding. But yes i

[flexcoders] Re: HTTPService HTTPChannel 2032 Channel.Ping.Failed trying to do asimple form post

[valdhor]

I tried your code and, after some changes, got an "HTTP request error".

Firstly, change your params variable type from Array to Object. This will allow 
you POST parameters to be sent.

Secondly, I would highly recommend obtaining a copy of Charles 
(http://www.charlesproxy.com). Using Charles I found the error from the server 
is "The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL 
/postgradmed/testlogin.html.". This is fairly obvious as it is just an HTML 
page and does not understand the POST. Changing the URL to 
"http://www.postgradmed.com/index.php?page=login"; gives a security error which 
is, again, not surprising as the crossdomain.xml file only allows access from 
"www.translunardesigns.com".

You should be able to design each as 3 separate MXML files, and then use 
PopUpManager to show the correct one.

Re: [flexcoders] May I install Flex 3 builder and new Flash builder in same computer

"You can install a separate copy of Flash Builder 4 standalone and it
will remain separate from any Flex Builder 2 or 3 installations. Also,
workspaces created in Flex Builder 2 or Flex Builder 3 are not
supported by Flash Builder 4. Lastly, Flash Builder 4 can import
existing Flex Builder projects, but a project that has its settings
modified by Flash Builder 4 will no longer open in Flex Builder 3 or

[flexcoders] Custom Actionscript component data-binding question

[Keith Hughitt]

Hi all,

I have been working on my first custom ActionScript component and have
been trouble getting the data-binding setup properly.

I am trying to making a "FilterManager" component which will enable to
the user to filter based on one or multiple columns in a DataGrid. In
order to do this though I need to be able to bind a DataGrid to the
component. I have not been able to figure out how to do this though, and
was hoping someone might be able to help shed some light.

Here is the code for the component, and the MXML used to instantiate the
component:



/***\

  * Filter Manager
 
\
**/
package custom {

 import mx.containers.Form;
 import mx.containers.FormItem;
 import mx.controls.Alert;
 import mx.controls.DataGrid;
 import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
 import flash.events.Event;



/***\

 * Class definition for a class to manage the various search filters

\
***/
 public class FilterManager extends Form {

 [Bindable]
 public var datagrid:DataGrid;

 private var _test:String;

 private var filterSettings:Array;


/***
 * FilterManager (Constructor)
 *
 * Creates an instance of the filter manager class

***/
 public function FilterManager():void {
 super();
 this.initFilters();
 }

 [Bindable]
 public function set test(value:String):void
 {
 _test = value;
 }

 public function get test():String
 {
 return _test;
 }


/***
 * initFilters
 *
 * Builds an array to manage the different filters that may be
set

***/
 private function initFilters():void {
 this.filterSettings = new Array();

 for each (var col:* in this.datagrid.columns) {
 var d:Object = new Object();

 if (col['dataField'] != null) {
 d.field   = col['dataField'];
 d.enabled = false;
 d.filter  = null;
 this.filterSettings.push(d);
 }
 }
 }


/***
 * component overrides

***/
 override protected function createChildren():void {
 super.createChildren();
 for each (var item:Object in this.filterSettings) {
 var f:FormItem = new FormItem();
 f.label = item.field;
 addChild(f);
 }
 Alert.show("createChilden()");
 }

 override protected function commitProperties():void {
 super.commitProperties();
 }

 override protected function measure():void {
 super.measure();
 }

 override protected function
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,

unscaledHeight:Number):void {
 super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight);
 }

 }
}
I've tried passing in data both via public variables (the "datagrid"
field), and using the preferred accessor & mutator route ("test"), but
have not had any luck with either.

Can anyone please tell me what the proper way to bind a DataGrid in the
application to the custom component so that I can reference it in the
initFilters function?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Keith

[flexcoders] Extending ColumnSeries to modify column label...

[whiskerstasters]

Hi everyone, I have a columnChart, 
I created a Class that extends ColumnSeries.

I'm trying to display the labels inside my column and forced them to always be 
rotated vertically.
If the column wouldn't be tall enough to display the entire label, the label 
would then move outside...

How would I go about this?

Thanks everyone for your help.

[flexcoders] LCDS, Hibernate and offline synchronisation in Air

[Zdenek Mikan]

I am trying to make the database application in Air, which should work 
also offline. But I have a problem with associations.

I have two databases: Partner and Contact. In Contact there is a 
ManyToOne association to Partner, based on the join table:

@ManyToOne(targetEntity=Partner.class, cascade={CascadeType.ALL})
@JoinTable(name="partner_contact",
joincolum...@joincolumn(name="fk_contact", 
referencedColumnName="contact_id"),
inversejoincolum...@joincolumn(name="fk_partner", 
referencedColumnName="partner_id"))
private Partner partner;

The problem is that when I create a new partner offline, then add a new 
contact referencing this new partner, everything is OK when I am 
offline, but after getting online and commiting offline changes, the new 
partner is created two times.

Does anybody know the fix for this?

Thanks in advance

[flexcoders] Best way to programatically add / remove custom components?

[th1138x]

I created a custom component that has a combo box and 2 text fields and a 
custom date selector. 

I need to programatically add additional instances of the above component to my 
application. 
I also need to know how many where added.

Then I need to construct an array from the values in each instance.

The array could consist of the original instance values and any number of the 
added instances (20 or less).

If possible could a instance and its values be removed?

Any help sending me on the right path would be great!

[flexcoders] Re: FileReference RemoteObject

[valdhor]

Do you want to upload the file or send the files data using RemoteObject?

For the former, have a look at 
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=17_Networking_and_communications_9.html

For the latter, you could grab the files data, base64 encode it and send it as 
part of the RemoteObject. You would need to base64 decode it at the reomote end 
and save the file data.

Really, why ? Do you get an error or something ?
The code you gave could have a number of problems, do you have a simple 
example that show the 'initialisation' problem and nothing else ?

[flexcoders] Re: Best way to programatically add / remove custom components?

[valdhor]

To create multiple instances...

var myComponentInstance1:MyComponent = new MyComponent();
var myComponentInstance2:MyComponent = new MyComponent();

To add these to an array...

var myComponentsArray:Array = new Array();
myComponentsArray.push(myComponentInstance1);
myComponentsArray.push(myComponentInstance2);

To track the number of instances, add a static variable to your class and 
update it every time an instance is created. Look up static members of a class 
in the AS3 reference.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Actionscript component data-binding question

[valdhor]

Why are you trying to bind a datagrid? That is a display object.

A far better way is to pass in the arraycollection the datagrid is based on. 
Then just create the datagrid in your custom component.

Re: [flexcoders] Datagrid intialization problem?

[vikrant choudhary]

Please find something i was trying to do into simple format. 
I have a file Test TestDatagrid.mxml as:
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"     layout="absolute"      
viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html">                          
                            
              
          
      
                // working fine.. able to see the 
correct value of test  
Another file is calling the function test something like:
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" xmlns:local="*">

  // 
This is returning null. How can i make this one to take the correct value

RE: [flexcoders] How to make FTE text selectable and editable?

I think you'll have to use TLF or write your own.  The whole point of FTE is to 
put text on the screen without each text instance needing to carry the 
capabilities of selection and interaction.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Loader in Flex 3

[Alex Harui]

I don't think that is Flex 2 code, it might be based on a beta or other 
pre-release of Flex 2.

You should update the namespace, use SWFLoader instead of Loader, replace 
"Void" with "void", and replace this.content with Object(this.content).  That 
should get rid of most of the errors.

The code to call ToolTIpManager doesn't look right.  There is no such API.  You 
might have to use ToolTipManager.createToolTip(...) and import 
mx.managers.ToolTipManager at the top of the script block.

[flexcoders] childrenField in AdvancedDataGrid

[Mark]

Hi my XML has been set up pretty basic but it does have a few levels.  This is 
shortend, but it basically looks like this:







































Is there a way to get the advancedDataGrid to display the competencies as well 
as the deliverables in a tree structure?  The childrenField only accpets one.  
How can this be done?  Or do I need to rename some of my XML nodes?

Thank,
Mark

[flexcoders] Binding question

[steve horvath]

I am trying to bind the checkbox selected property as written below.
The value of selected should be triggered whenever currentPresentation
changes or whenever albumIncluded(data) returns a different value.  The
checkbox is in a List itemRenderer component.

ItemRenderer







The albumIncluded function is in a class called Media and is coded as
follows:

Media class (the class is marked [Bindable])
-
private var _includedAlbums:ArrayCollection /* of Albums */ =new
ArrayCollection();

public function includeAlbum(album:Album):void {
_includedAlbums.addItem(album);
if (!currentAlbum)
currentAlbum = album;
dispatchEvent(new Event("albumToggledEvent"));
}

[Bindable(event="albumToggledEvent")]
public function albumIncluded(album:Album):Boolean {
return _includedAlbums.getItemIndex(album) >= 0;
}

Apparently the albumIncluded function doesn't fire when includeAlbum()
function is called.

So I put a read-only property called includedAlbums in Media which is
supposed to be triggered when _includedAlbums changes.

Media class (class is Bindable)

private var _includedAlbums:ArrayCollection /* of Albums */ =new
ArrayCollection();

public function includeAlbum(album:Album):void {
_includedAlbums.addItem(album);
if (!currentAlbum)
currentAlbum = album;
dispatchEvent(new Event("albumToggledEvent"));
}

[Bindable(event="albumToggledEvent")]
public function albumIncluded(album:Album):Boolean {
return _includedAlbums.getItemIndex(album) >= 0;
}

[Bindable(event="none")] // handles runtime binding warnings
public function get includedAlbums():ArrayCollection /* of Albums */ {
return _includedAlbums;
}

And added a helper function to the ItemRenderer component, with the idea
that if either currentPresentation or includedAlbums changed it would
fire the helper function which would return the correct value for the
checkbox selected property.

ItemRenderer
---







But it looks like the includedAlbums property is never firing an event.
How do I get my checkbox selected to set to the right value?

RE: [flexcoders] How to make FTE text selectable and editable?

[Gordon Smith]

That's correct. FTE simply creates TextLines that display text and contain 
information about glyph bounds, etc. All selection and editing must be handled 
in ActionScript. Use have to use TLF or a TLF-based component, unless you want 
to roll your own text editor.

I think you'll have to use TLF or write your own.  The whole point of FTE is to 
put text on the screen without each text instance needing to carry the 
capabilities of selection and interaction.

elementFormat.fontSize = 48;
var textElement:TextElement = new TextElement("Hello,

var textBlock:TextBlock = new TextBlock(textElement);

[flexcoders] AIR & Computer Locking

[Jake Churchill]

Anyone know how to recognize if a computer is locked or not (Windows XP) in
AIR? 

 

 I have an app that runs on the taskbar by the time.  It periodically
displays notifications which are placed at the bottom right of the screen.
I get that position using Screen.mainScreen.visibleBounds.  This works just
fine when the computer is unlocked.  However, when the computer is locked,
the visibleBounds does not recognize the existence of the taskbar, so when I
unlock the computer, half the notification is below the task bar.  

 

I can think of a couple ways around this problem, I just wanted to know if
there was an easy way to find out if the computer is currently locked or
not.

Re: [flexcoders] list itemrenderer

[thomas parquier]

Yves, sorry for slow reply...
I've written a custom itemrenderer for a list component, but the proxy
instance (when dnd'ed) has to look different from the instance of
itemrenderer which is actually dnd'ed.
The proxy uses same class and receives same data object as item in list...
so is there a possibility to set a property only for the proxy instance, or
get a property to distinguish proxy from an instance actually in the list ?

Do you want to upload the file or send the files data using RemoteObject?

For the former, have a look at 
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=17_Networking_and_communications_9.html

For the latter, you could grab the files data, base64 encode it and send it as 
part of the RemoteObject. You would need to base64 decode it at the reomote end 
and save the file data.

[flexcoders] OLAPDatagrd vs. AdvancedDatagrid - Drilling down

[victordaicich]

Hello! I'm currently developing a OLAP application (connecting to MS Analysis 
Services but that's not important) , and what we needed is the grid to behave 
like the usual pivot component.

The OLAPGrid retrieves the data correctly but it's flat. I mean, all data is 
rendered . If you have 3 dimmensions and 1 measure, it renders all 3 
dimmensions opened. 
The idea, in terms of performance and visual, the first should have an expand , 
and then load on demand the rest.

So basically that's what I did, I choose AdvancedDatagrid and start working 
with customitemrenderers, and callbacks loading on demand the information from 
the Cube. The grid renders the first dimmension and when the users expands 
(using the itemopen event)  it calls a webservice to retrieve the drill down 
and so on.

Is anyone working on anything similar to this? Any thoughts to share?

Thanks!
Victor

What are your Œcouple ways around this problem.¹ Are you thinking of using
system idle? 

Is there a direct (easy) way to do this? None that I know of... typically
these kinds of operations require a system call which would be OS specific
and wouldn¹t be available to AIR without significant effort.

Is there any reason you can¹t capture that point when the application starts

[flexcoders] Problem reading XML returned from Webservice

[Claudio M. E. Bastos Iorio]

Hi, hope you guys can help me.

I'm using Flex 3.3 + .NET Web Services.

I get an XML like this one from my web service (simplified):


  

  1
  Some Name here
  Some description here

  


It's supposed that something like this should trace the "Name" value, right?:

//code in result function for webservice component
var lastXML:XML = XML(event.result)
trace("Name in XML: " + lastXML..Fund[0].Name); //gives me an Error: A term is 
undefined and has no properties.

But, if I manually add the XML in the code, and removes the whole xmlns schema 
my code works... What am I doing wrong here?

TIA

Mailing lists and users groups tend to explode when a product is new and
start to wane off when it becomes mature. There are many reasons why, but
yes leading that is there are more / better resources to get answers. I like
to think it's partly because the [product has gotten better as well...

My user group has been around for 10 years now and there is a lot of
apathy amongst even the most doe hard members. They all show up when a new
version gets released.

I think we can expect the traffic on the list to pick back up after Gumbo

Re: [flexcoders] HTML Formatting lost in TextArea

[Dave Glasser]

I'm encountering a strange problem which I can't reliably replicate. I have a 
TextArea. During its lifetime, I set the htmlText property one time with a 
string of HTML that includes an IMG tag. The text property never gets set.



Sometimes, when the TextArea is first displayed, I'll see that all of its HTML 
is formatted properly for a few seconds, with various fonts, font styles, 
sizes, colors, etc., and then suddenly it will re-render itself and all of the 
text will be in a single font, size, color and style. Things like paragraph 
breaks and bulleted lists are preserved, however.



The only styles that are getting set on this TextArea are paddingLeft and 
paddingRight. Although I have an embedded font in the application, it's not 
being set in any stylesheets, only through explicit setStyle calls, and only 
where text needs to be rotated. So I don't think that has anything to do with 
the issue.



I'm using Flex 3.1, whatever version that was current on 8/25/2008. As I 
mentioned, this can't be reliably replicated. Sometimes it works correctly when 
following the same path through the application, and sometimes it doesn't.



Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?

Re: [flexcoders] How to make FTE text selectable and editable?

[Manish Jethani]

Thanks. I was wondering why the FTE components didn't have any option
for making the text selectable and editable, but now it makes sense.

I guess my issue with using TLF is that it adds min. 60-70K to my SWF
size. This is an ActionScript-only project with Flex 3.

I know TLF is part of Flex 4, so I get the benefit of framework
caching, but I just want to use TLF and not the rest of the Flex
framework. Is there an option to get a .swz for just TLF?

[flexcoders] Resource bundles and static vars

[Tim Rowe]

I'm trying to resolve an issue whereby we have a heap of structures defined in 
static arrays, and one of the params is a string of text.  Ideally this string 
would come from a resource bundle to allow localization on the string.

The problem is that though I've tried a variety of methods, I cannot get any 
resouce bundle values into this variable.

Effectively the code I have is
public static const foo = ResourceManager.getInstance().getString('myBundle', 
'myKey');
Although it's a little more glammed up than that (but I've tried it in this 
basic form). In the attempts I've gone as far as to even try having a utility 
class which calls out to a singleton, but even within that singleton when 
accessed via a static all values and ResourceBundles from ResourceManager come 
back as null values.

None of the other mxml elements seem to have issues reading the same resource 
bundle - when addressed via @Resource(bundle='foo', key='bar') and similar they 
all find the values in the .properties file just fine. Unfortunately the nature 
of these variables makes it highly preferable they're left as statics, though 
it is beginning to appear that might not be viable.

Would anyone have any suggestions on this?  It's not the first time I've had 
this problem, but last time we just gave up trying from memory.  Is it just a 
case that the ResourceBundles aren't loaded and accessable at the time statics 
are initialised, or is there something more simple (or perhaps more sinister?) 
going on?

Clearly the numbers are going down. This can't be good. We're entering
into a Flex recession.

I propose a stimulus plan. We need to boost the numbers by having a
long discussion about how the numbers are going down. This will make
Flex look good and ensure all our livelihoods (at the cost of employer
time -- but who cares!).

Re: [flexcoders] AIR & Computer Locking

[Sam Lai]

Should probably check to see if that point is still valid everytime
too, in case I'm on a dual monitor setup with the external monitor
being the primary one, then standby the machine, yank out the external
monitor then resume.

I wonder what you could do if I don't unlock my machine immediately
and a notification comes in. The previous saved point would be
invalid, but if you grab the point now, it wouldn't recognize the task
bar.

(never actually tested this, just thinking this through.)

Re: [flexcoders] Resource bundles and static vars

[Manish Jethani]

Try putting a breakpoint in SystemManager's
installCompiledResourceBundles() function. That's where the resource
bundles are set up.

It's possible that your class is being loaded before the resource
bundles are set up, and that's why you're getting null.

Clearly the numbers are going down. This can't be good. We're entering
into a Flex recession.

I propose a stimulus plan. We need to boost the numbers by having a
long discussion about how the numbers are going down. This will make
Flex look good and ensure all our livelihoods (at the cost of employer
time -- but who cares!).

RE: [flexcoders] How to make FTE text selectable and editable?

[Gordon Smith]

Yes, TLF is packaged separately in textLayout.swc and textLayout.swz. We'll be 
hosting this SWZ along with framework.swz, flex4.swz, etc.

Thanks. I was wondering why the FTE components didn't have any option
for making the text selectable and editable, but now it makes sense.

I guess my issue with using TLF is that it adds min. 60-70K to my SWF
size. This is an ActionScript-only project with Flex 3.

I know TLF is part of Flex 4, so I get the benefit of framework
caching, but I just want to use TLF and not the rest of the Flex
framework. Is there an option to get a .swz for just TLF?

RE: [flexcoders] Resource bundles and static vars

[Gordon Smith]

Reources are not loaded into the ResourceManager early enough for use at static 
initialization time. If you want a resource-based public static foo, do 
something like

private static var _foo:String;

public static function get foo():String
{
if (_foo == null)
_foo =ResourceManager.getInstance().getString(...);

return _foo;
}

so that foo is initialized just-in-time from a resource on first access.

In general, it's dangerous to have the static initialization value of something 
in one class depend on anything in another class, because the order in which 
classes get initialized is hard to figure out and you might have 
circular-dependencies.

Just-in-time initialization is a good general solution to these problems, at 
the cost of a simple null check on each access.

*   Is this list declining?

 

 

I think Adobe swallowed some user in their new forums. I have noticed

Plus as with mature software, there are hundreds of places to get lost with
Flex information now. Not to mention all the projects going on.

RE: [flexcoders] Resource bundles and static vars

[Tim Rowe]

That's exactly along the line I was looking at the problem being, though could 
only cofirm this through observed behavior rather than any actual underlying 
evidence.  In the mantime I've been looking at the problem and I've managed to 
switch the culprits to member variables (they had quite a few references to 
them from other classes as statics).

The idea you've mentioned of using the accessor is one I hadn't considered - 
quite a neat trick for getting around this.  I certainly agree on trying to 
avoid the use as you said - unfortunately I can control neither code that was 
written before I started working on this project nor all design decisions, 
regardless of how much I might object :)

[flexcoders] Mx:Http Service Refresh Issue

[guess what]

I am running into a stupid  Problem .

I have a Flex Data grid Constructed from mx:HttpService 

mx:HTTpService url="somethin.do" 

The result is an xml file . I am calling the HttpService on the mxmls 
creationComplete .
the First time I call the html file [ the actual flex html ] it works fine . 
The next time I call it actually does not hit my Controller method. It just 
populates the data grid from the cache or  shows the same Data .

if I close the browser and open again it works fine .

Can anyone let me know the solution for this .


Thanks

You're hitting the browser cache.

How about this:

  mx:HTTpService url="somethin.do?"

You need to use a namespace.

  var ns:Namespace = new Namespace("http://mydomain.com/";);

  trace(lastXML.ns::ListFundsResult);

Or,

  default xml namespace = new Namespace("http://mydomain.com/";);

  trace(lastXML.ListFundsResult);

[flexcoders] SWFLoader to load Flash Lite SWF in Flex

[twcrone70]

I am using the SWFLoader to load a swf built for Flash Lite's VM (version?) 
into a Flex window built to run in Flash 9+.  The SWFs seem to load but 
interacting with them is a little sketchy.  In an HTML wrapper they work fine.

How do I force the SWFs to be loaded in a different version Flash VM perhaps?

Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: Binding question

[steve horvath]

Weird, I had to use the event="albumToggledEvent" for the includedAlbums
getter property and do project->clean.

Spent a whole lot of time on this.  So I guess the lesson learned here
is when you think you've got your bindings set up correctly and they
still don't work, project->clean.

Re: [flexcoders] Is this list declining?

[Jeffry Houser]

Although I don't have stats, it is my impression that the Adobe Flex 
Forums have seen a big rise in usage since the recent switch in forum 
software, perhaps some in favor of this list. 

I'd argue that the e-mail support of the new forums is not there yet,

I've never had an e-mail response I sent show up on the correct thread;

Clearly the numbers are going down. This can't be good. We're entering
into a Flex recession.

I propose a stimulus plan. We need to boost the numbers by having a
long discussion about how the numbers are going down. This will make
Flex look good and ensure all our livelihoods (at the cost of employer
time -- but who cares!).

Re: [flexcoders] How does one implement IBitmapDrawable

[Stephen More]

The docs do not say much about IBitmapDrawable:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/display/IBitmapDrawable.html

In your example lets say I create:
MyUIComponet extends UIComponet

What method do I need to write in MyUIComponet such that I can respond
back with an embeded image instead of  the rendering of the children
of UIComponet when IBitmapDrawable is called ?

[flexcoders] Vertical scroll bar not reseting

[al-al :D]

Hi!

I have an application with a ViewStack and binded LinkBar, which has 2 views, a 
DataGrid on the first, and the Form on the second. Clicking an item in the 
DataGrid transfers the user to the Form view. 

I have a problem regarding the scroll bar not reseting to its original 
position, which is at the top most. The Form on the second view is too long for 
the Canvas it sits on, so naturally it has a scroll bar. So when I click a 
record from the DataGrid for the first time, the Form view appears just fine, 
with the scroll bar on top. When I scroll down, navigate to the first view via 
the LinkBar, and select another record, the Form view appears with the scroll 
position right where I left it. How do I do this? I have tried using 
scrollPosition set to 0 but to no effect. 

Thanks in advance! :)

Ok, so your indexes are not synchronized; returned data is getting set
on the wrong items.  How are you determining the correct index when
using setItemAt()?  If you're storing the position index when the
ArrayCollection is un-filtered, and then filtering, the old index may
not be the same as the new index in the filtered ArrayCollection.  You
can loop through the ArrayCollection and check the item's id field
against the updated return item:

public function getRoomResult( newRoomVO : RoomVO ) : void
{
  for each ( var oldRoomVO : RoomVO in rooms )
  {
   if ( newRoomVO.id == oldRoomVO.id )
   {
rooms.setItemAt( newRoomVO, getItemIndex( oldRoomVO ) );
return;
   }
  }
}

However, this wouldn't update any items that were not included in the
ArrayCollection, because of a filter.  Updating the source Array itself
would also do the trick.  But, you would have to re-cast the
ArrayCollection after an update.

Just a few thoughts,
-TH

RE: [flexcoders] Mx:Http Service Refresh Issue

The "somethin. do" has to be unique each time. Some people use
Date.getTime().  You can also try using POST instead of GET.

[flexcoders] Referencing Hiddenfield in html page

[Angelo Anolin]

Hi FlexCoders,

As I am trying to build a simple little application, I want to know how flex 
can access a hiddenfield value in an html (or aspx) page?

In one of the old aspx application we have, we are using the 
HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables to get the logged in User Name.

Since I am hosting the compiled SWF file in an aspx/html page, I need to be 
able to pass the logged user details which I store in a hiddenfield in my aspx 
page to Flex.  Any advice/suggestions?

Thanks.


  

RE: [flexcoders] extract data from advancedDataGrid. Please help.

selectedItem is a reference to the  node that was clicked.  No

var sTitle:String = xmlLocation.details[0].21_title;

Which version of the Flex SDK are you compiling against?  If it's the Flex 4

What do you mean you don't want to go thru its installation?

You can use ExternalInterface to call javascript to get it into Flex or you
can pass the data into the Flex app via flashvars when you start the app.

RE: [flexcoders] SWFLoader to load Flash Lite SWF in Flex

[Alex Harui]

Are you sure the target player for Flash Lite is FP9?  You can try loading it 
from a different domain to try to sandbox it, but if the target player is <= 8 
then it is already in its own VM (VM1/AS1or2 vs VM2/AS3).

Interaction problems could stem from incompatibilities with the Flex 
FocusManager, or assumptions about the Stage or root and input events in the 
Flash LIte SWF.

I am using the SWFLoader to load a swf built for Flash Lite's VM (version?)

interacting with them is a little sketchy. In an HTML wrapper they work fine.

How do I force the SWFs to be loaded in a different version Flash VM perhaps?

You have to set the second container's verticalScrollPosition to 0 in
the change event of the ViewStack object.

IBitmapDrawable is a "marker" interface. It doesn't actually have any
methods that you can implement.

Basically BitmapData.draw() will just capture the object as it would
appear on the screen. I don't believe that the IBitmapDrawable object
gets any sort of notification when it is being drawn. You can of
course notify it yourself so it can redraw itself a different way
before calling BitmapData.draw().

[flexcoders] Re: Problem reading XML returned from Webservice

[Claudio M. E. Bastos Iorio]

Thanks for your response.
It seems like my problem is that my xml code is using the 
xmlns='http://mydomainname.com/' every time and this is included in the xml 
definition.

I tried:
var ns:Namespace = new Namespace("bs");
myXML.setNamespace(ns);
trace("myXML.namespace()); //returns bs, ok. But:
//I receive an error on:
trace("Name:  " + myXML..Fund[0].Name); //A term is undefined and has no 
properties

Also tried,
default xml namespace = new Namespace("http://anotherdomain.com/";);
//and also tried default xml namespace = new Namespace("somethingelsehere");
trace("myXML.namespace()); //always return http://mydomain.com/, why?
//I also receive an error on:
trace("Name:  " + myXML..Fund[0].Name); //A term is undefined and has no 
properties

Is there any way to copy to other xml/lose the namespace that is giving me 
problems?? How?

Thanks.
