 so that my page can be displayed correctly regardless of the screen 
 resolution , I have tried to use the % like height=34% but not all the 
 properties are accepting the % (such top , right)

[flexcoders] XML data translated to wrong datatype

2009-06-28 Thread danapayne
I have one particular piece of data in an XML file, retrieved via HTTPService, 
that is being mistakenly being translated incorrectly. I'm using a Value Object 
and it's defined in there as a String datatype.

There's not a problem until the data contains something that can be interpreted 
as exponential notation, for example 1E01, which it thinks means the number 
10 or anything starting with 1E.

At first I tried to fix it in the Value Object but I've looked at the debug 
information and this translation appears to be happening at the HTTPService end 
of things because the result event already shows the changed value. BTW, this 
same annoying thing happens in an Excel spreadsheet with the same data in it - 
Excel keeps wanting to interpret it as a Number type.

Anyone know how I can fix this problem and let the data come through unchanged?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3 Exam Cert Question

2009-06-28 Thread leds usop
hi,

i recentlly got my flex 3 with air cert and i'd say the questions on lcds are 
more on interacting with lcds, so you should be able to get enough info from 
livedocs or any good flex book that discusses lcds.

As for the local database connection, that would be pertaining to AIR's 
interaction with SQL (or SQLite). 

someone correct me if im wrong. ^^
cheers

can someone point me to a resource or book that i can find out more on 
IMPLEMENTING LCDS MESSAGING AND DATA MANAGEMENT ?



in the exam guide it also mentions creating connecting to a local
database. what does that mean? does it mean SQL database or oracle?-- SQL as

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Is there a good log application?

2009-06-28 Thread Jens Halm

 That doesn't help unfortunately. I requires either Firebug or using
 the flashlog.txt which has been the problem in the first place

Try SOS MAX from Powerflasher:

http://solutions.powerflasher.com/products/sosmax/

It's a free/closed source product. It works over a socket connection
and can be used on every OS where you can install a Java Runtime.
Nice thing is that it allows you to colorize the different log levels.

[flexcoders] Re: dynamic dimension of the page

2009-06-28 Thread danapayne
You have to add a constraintcolumns and/or constraintrows block and then 
identify individual constraint column and/or rows (give them an id). You can 
then tie elements to those constraints but you're still using top, left, 
bottom, etc. and then the number of pixels away separated by a colon, it's just 
that you're not limited to the parent containers borders.

Here's a link to an Adobe article on how to use them:

[flexcoders] Time Difference between two columns in DataGrid using itemrenderer

2009-06-28 Thread Don Kerr
I have two columns in a datadrid, startTime (e.g. 04:30 PM) and endTime (e.g. 
06:00 PM). Both are strings and  varchar in the database.

I want to add a column to the datagrid that displays the difference between 
these two times expressed in hours (e.g. 1.5 Hours).

I'm trying to use an itemrenderer to do this calculation, but I've yet to be 
successful.  Having trouble converting the strings to date, then calculate the 
hours.  Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Don







[flexcoders] loading remote images

2009-06-28 Thread celumbra
I am trying (without success) to load remote images into a Flex app. I am sure 
I am not doing something obvious. 

The application loads the images fine when loading locally and testing.
'assets/img/celumbra/AirParticles430x287.jpg'

I have a crossdomain.xml file in the remote root directory. 
http://www.celumbra.com/crossdomain.xml

If I load an image's remote url in a browser window, it loads into the browser 
window. 
http://www.celumbra.com/assets/img/celumbra/AirParticles430x287.jpg

But from within the Flex app, loading locally and in its published domain, the 
images fail to load. 

I am not sure what I am missing. 

Any help would be appreciated.



[flexcoders] Re: Time Difference between two columns in DataGrid using itemrenderer

2009-06-28 Thread Tim Hoff

Hi Don,

The itemRenderer's data Object contains BOTH fields for that row in
the dataProvider.  You can start by trying to pass the date strings into
a DataFormatter and cast as Date, or try DateField.stringToDate().  If
the format of the date string isn't compatible, and you can't change
what the server sends, you might have to parse the string manually and
create a Date object from scratch.  Once you have the two date strings
converted to Dates, you're ready to compare them.  There are a few
utilities that you'll be able to find through a search, that work with
comparing dates.  I found this very quickly (looks like it rounds to
full days though):

private function calcuateDays( start:Date, end:Date ) :int
{
   var daysInMilliseconds:int = 1000*60*60*24;
   return (  (end.time - start.time)  / daysInMilliseconds );
}
You'd probably want to use a Number instead of int, and round the number
as desired.  And, probably search anyway.
