SoundMixer.stopAll() --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, greg h flexsa...@... wrote: Is there any way to globally mute all sounds in an application? I have an application with several short, embedded MP3 sound effects plus NetStream video that has audio. Note: In our application play() is executed programmatically via ActionScript for all Sounds and NetStream videos. My sense is that sound must be controlled on an object by object basis. That is, that there is no global property that can be set to adjust volume for all objects that might play() sounds Can anyone point me to examples using a single property for muting all sounds in an application? In Flex, the top level Application class does have a property soundTransform of type SoundTransform. However, in my experience (ran a few tests), setting the value on this Application-level property does not effect the individual Sound and NetStream instances. The closest I have come to having a global property is adding an instance of SoundTransform as a property of the top level application. Then for the embedded MP3s, having the return value from each Sound.play() execution assigned to an instance of SoundChannel and then immediately assigning the top level app's SoundTransform property as the SoundChannel.soundTransform property. Likewise for the NetStream, after executign NetStream.play() setting NetStream.soundTransform property to the top level app's SoundTransform property. Thanks, g
[flexcoders] Charting questions
Hey peepsJust looking for some help with some charting related tasks. - Can you rotate the axis labels on a LineChart? All the examples i have used seem to work fine on BarChart but not on LineChart - Consider the following... mx:horizontalAxis mx:DateTimeAxis dataUnits=days interval=1 title=Date displayLocalTime=true parseFunction=parseDate id=monthLabels / /mx:horizontalAxis Is it possible to specify the number of axis points and labels? Using the DateTimeAxis is seems to just try and work out where to plot them but i want to specify at what intervals to put markers. - Is it possible to get the color value of a chart line or legend marker? I want to use the colors for something else and need them to match (other than specifying my own colors). Thanks for any help you can give.. Steve
Re: [flexcoders] Livecycle CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
Hello Pedro,
Increasing the connection timeout is not possible because other
applications use these database too. I try'd to use C3Po but looks like
the connections still timeout.
Here is an example
I have a remoting service. In the constructor I create my pool.
*Class.forName(com.mysql.jdbc.Driver);
String dbString = jdbc:mysql:// + properties.getProperty(x) +
:3306/ + properties.getProperty(x);
DataSource unpooled =
DataSources.unpooledDataSource(dbString,properties.getProperty(),properties.getProperty(x));
this.dataConnection = DataSources.pooledDataSource(unpooled);
*I have a method in the remoting class that get's some data from the
database. When I call this method below from flex the first +- 10times
it is not a problem but then I can't get any connection anymore and
stops after OPENING CONNECTION. Looks like there is something very
wrong. Any idea? I just need that the connections stay open during the
livecycle uptime.
*public String getTeaserUrl(String account)
{
System.out.println(#REQUESTING
TEASER\n\n);
try
{
System.out.println(OPENING CONNECTION\n);
Connection connect = this.dataConnection.getConnection();
System.out.println(GOT CONNECTION +connect.toString());
String select = SELECT FILENAME FROM TEASERS WHERE ACCOUNT = ? LIMIT 0,1;
PreparedStatement statement = connect.prepareStatement(select);
statement.setString(1,account);
ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery();
System.out.println(GOT TEASER RESULT!! +result.toString());
while(result.next())
{
return http://xxx/teasers/+result.getString(FILENAME)+.flv;
}
connect.close();
}
catch(SQLException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return ;

1) Try to increase your connection timeout

Here are the answers
1) What is your connection timeout?
- connect timeout 5
2) Are your application and database in the same machine?
- No (the DAO's make multiple connections to mysql servers and
non of them are installed on the localhost)
3) Are you using some kind of connection pool mechanism? If so,
what are you

- Don't think so
4) Is it ocurring when your execute some specific query or it occurs

- No, it just occurs after 20minutes. (every connection). So I
get multiple errors in my application
5) What engine are you using(MyISAM, InnoDB, ...) ?
- MyISAM

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Signed RSL penetration
You know what confuses me though over all this, why hasn't Adobe cached the Flex framework in the Flash Player? An additional 500k on the player download would be a miniscule inconvenience in time for the user, the way it stands the time added reflects poorly on the actual Flex application. Releases of the flex framework sdk for caching and flash player releases are not so often for that to be a hurdle, surely? If Adobe are (a) reluctant to release statistics on how many players have the framework cached and (b) not going to help push these stats up by caching the framework in the player, its going to be a constant concern for the developer.

I realise this is probably strategically sensitive for Adobe as they want to encourage use of RSLs as it improves the Flex download size story longer term. Someone made the suggestion somewhere that when users upgrade or install the player, Adobe ought to download and install all the current RSLs as well. That seems a very sensible idea to me.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Binding two elements in a single datagrid column
Ok, here's how I would do it; with efficiency and best-practice in mind:
http://www.timothyh off.com/projects /AgeItemRenderer Sample/AgeItemRe
ndererSample. html
( right click to view source )
Two main differences Steve:
First, use createChildren to add the children, instead of in set data. I
suspect that what's happening with the way you are doing it is that each time
the data is changed (which, because the itemRenderers are recycled, happens on
every scroll), the instance of the child is attempted to be added to the
display list. I can't see the code in flash.display. DisplayObjectCon tainer,
but I suspect that the code is checking to see if the instance exists already
and/or re-parenting it. Either way, this is an un-necessary step. You only
need to add the child once and then use the data to control it's state.
Second, for efficiency, try to avoid using containers in itemRenderers. A good
practice is to extend UIComponent and do the layout manually. It's a little
more work, but you get some good performance benefits.
I encourage you to read this series and also look at the source code for the
Flex controls. They all follow the same component life-cycle pattern.
Angelo, look at this sample for how to use an itemEditor.

example using createChildren ?

Yes, createChildren will only execute once; while set data will execute
many times. Perhaps it's not a problem if the same child gets added to
the display list everytime that the data is set. But usually, you only
need to add them once.

If you can't get it to work, you could always use a Repeater instead.
In this case, since you want to display all of the items, this would
probably work out better.

[flexcoders] Flex 3s generated web service proxies
Here's the link to what I'm referring to:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=data_4.html
I'm importing a web service (WSDL) and having Flex Builder 3 generate all my
web service proxy classes. It works great but, I modified my base class - now
how do I update my WSDL (and the classes generated) without effecting my
changes? (Modify the templates used to generate the classes)
A second question would be how can I really tie this generated service
into Cairngorm? For example, the ServiceLocator has
getHTTPService(serviceName) and getWebService(serviceName) but, how can I
do a getMyService('serviceName') with the ServiceLocator so I can still use
the business delegates to send requests to the server.
As it stands, I ignore the delegate and my event command class looks something
like
public class TestCommand implements Command, IResponder {
public function event(event:CairngormEvent):void {
var evt:CustomEvent = event as CustomEvent;
/*
HERE IS WHERE MY DELEGATE SHOULD BE
My code should look like:
var delegate:CustomDelegate = new CustomDelegate(this);
delegate.queryServer();
But instead I have the code below:
*/
var myServices:MyService = new MyService();
myService.addEventListener(result, result);
myService.addEventListener(fault, fault);
myService.getServerInfo();
}
/**
* EVENT HANDLERS

public function result(data:Object):void {

Re: [flexcoders] my SWFLoader wont give me the correct width and height
I don't think that's necessarily correct because as I mentioned the
$width and $height protected values are correctly set by the time the
COMPLETE event is dispatched. So the values are known, they just
aren't being updated until the time of the UPDATE_COMPLETE event.

That sorta works. It's a way of getting notified when the properties
do finally get updated . But i still have to do if( swfLoader.width
!=0 swfLoader.height != 0 ){ ... }. And since I really only need to
run that piece of code once, I would have to remove the listener after
the code successfully gets executed.
I still don't understand why calling swfLoader.validateNow() does not
work when I try to call it in the 'complete' handler.

I'm using a SWFLoader to load in an image and i have a handler
function for COMPLETE. In this load complete handler, i'm trying to
get the size of the SWFLoader instance by using swfLoader.width,
swfLoader.height but it always gives me 0. if I set a breakpoint, i
can see that the $width and $height protected properties are correct
but no matter what I do I can't get the public width and height
properties to update. i've tried using validateNow(),
invalidateSize(), validateSize() and whatever else I can think of but
the width and hight are still always 0. And I noticed that if i check
the width and height at some later point in the program, the values
are correct.
Does anybody know how to force SWFLoader to update its width and height?

that same view with the large image; I've tried the following which
ALMOST works --when the user moves the box to the right (ie x++ and y+

I think you should move
var bigM:Matrix = big.transform.matrix.clone();
out of your box move handler, because box.x and box.y are positive even when
moving to left or top.

Re: [flexcoders] argh: matrices and dragging
But I need that to get the current state of the large transform matrix.
What I'm having problems with is this idea that the smaller area maps
to the larger area; in Director there was an actual map() function
that doesn't seem to be in flash.
It'd be great if the adobe guys could weigh in on this; ie I can't be
the only person having trouble with Matrices / Transforms otherwise
I'd be getting a lot more responses.
I'll try it as you say Thomas; thanks for responding.

I've got a little app that is the same old small viewer / large
image type thing we all know and love.
I've got a slider that sets the scale - ie when the user zooms up,
the large image zooms up and the 'box' canvas does the invert so
that it shows what view the user is seeing -- dig?
Now I'm trying to allow the user to move the small box around and
see that same view with the large image; I've tried the following
which ALMOST works --when the user moves the box to the right (ie x+
+ and y++) the large image goes to the left; but when the user moves
it BACK the large image doesn't move back to the right.
private function boxMouseDrag(e:MouseEvent):void{
borderBox.transform = box.transform;
var bigM:Matrix = big.transform.matrix.clone();
var boxM:Matrix = new Matrix();
boxM.translate(box.x, box.y);
boxM.invert();
bigM.concat(boxM);
big.transform.matrix = bigM;
//big.transform.matrix.translate(box.x, box.y);
out.text = dragging + box.transform.matrix;
}

[flexcoders] Re: Flex error when AdvancedDataGrid made too small.
Cool - I will try this I had tried the visible=false but I left it in the Layout. After further investigation I narrowed this down to the fact that I am using the advanced datagrid footer extensions that are available - Alex's I think with a couple of tweeks - and the error is in AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as/protected function drawColumnBackground where var lastRow:Object = rowInfo[listItems.length - 1]; resolves to null and causes problems downstream when calculating height includeInLayout = false will be a lot easier than resolving the above ... fingers crossed. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, valdhor valdhorli...@... wrote: Instead of setting height and width of a component to 0, try setting visible property to false and includeInLayout property to false. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Mic chigwell23@ wrote: In an application where 8 panels exist on the screen with each panel containing a chart or an advanced datagrid (corporate dashboard), any portlet can be zoomed to fill the whole screen, and I was doing this by setting height and width of the other 5 to 0.

[flexcoders] Radio Button in DataGrid urgent Plz
Hi there, I had requirment for having radio button for one of the column in Datagrid and the user should be able to select only one row radiobutton. I have used item renderer and assigned it to a RadioButton Group. But I got scrolling issues and also I was unable to preselect one row(which is required). Can any body help me and share the code if you have . Thanks in advance vin

[flexcoders] Performance improvement recommendation
Hi everyone, I am creating an application which is basically a flex/flash based blog engine. When the application is initially loaded, it will retrieve 50 blog post and display them on the first page. The problem I am having now is that it takes a LONG(5 min) time to load the posts. If I decrease the posts number down to 5, the load time is within an acceptable level(7 seconds). However, 5 posts per page is just not acceptable. I will try my best to describe the blog post structure in the following... 1. Each blog post can have pictures and text in it. Each post also has comments attach to the bottom. Following is a diagram illustrating what a post would look like * abc dummy text * * (picture)* * xyz dummy text * * (picture2) (picture3)* *Comment 1 * *Comment 2 * *Comment 3 * 2. Each post will have variable height due to different content and different number of comments Currently, I put 50 posts in a vbox, and the vbox height is set to 768. The vbox wil have a vertical scroll bar for user to scroll down to see the older posts. Since vbox will render everything before the component can be visually displayed, I can understand why it takes such a long time. I have tried to modify the code to use variable height List with custom itemRenderer instead, but the scroll on the list is NOT smooth at all due to itemRenderer recycle and re-render with new data. I am running out of ideas now. Many sites(facebook, blogger, or any other blog site) made this easy with PHP/.NET/HTML utilizing div+AJAX, but what is the best approach with Flex when constructing a blog engine application? Any suggestion/help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
RE: [flexcoders] Performance improvement recommendation
Use the profiler to see where the time is being spent. If your attempt to use List had poor scrolling it implies that your post renderer is inefficient.

Re: [flexcoders] (SOT) Opportunity for FB ? (Hey! Adobe !)
I highly doubt this will happen, mainly because the flagship user of bugzilla is Mozilla, a web browser company with deep investments in HTML5, CSS and JS. Their community probably wouldn't be very receptive either. From a personal perspective, I don't think it is a good idea either - Flash UIs generally aren't good at conveying large amounts of information. Those that are basically replicate HTML UIs, which defeats the purpose. What I'd like to see is Flash being used for visualisations of bug histories, bugs in components, bug response time statistics etc. Of course, Mozilla will likely lean to SVG/JS for that, but nevertheless, that is an area where using Flash would be appropriate. 2009/6/19 Brad Bueche brad.bue...@gmail.com: I've been reading up on Bugzilla and it is frequently mentioned that its UI is not the most intuitive or easy to use in the world. Well if one needs an improved UI experience, is not FB the answer!? Well really, the SDK in this case. Although, I guess, anything you do in FB, outside of the data visualization, can be updated in the SDK, right? Is this a good opportunity for Adobe to greatly improve an open source tool with their open source solution? To me, it seems like there is significant opportunity to show off many of the features of 4.x. in a highly targeted market. Anyway, just a thought, maybe I'm way off base. (Then again, I'm always late to the party with the flexcoders group, so maybe somebody is already working on it). However, if you do decide to do it, Adobe, see if you can add some built in integration with Subversion (in keeping with being a major contributor to the open source community). brad
