[flexcoders] Invalid data error while embedding symbols from external Swf
Hello All, Till now I have been successfully working by embedding movieclips from external swf in my flex application. But now I am facing a weird error. I have to create a form which contains these embedded movieclip symbols. As soon as the form comes up I get the run time error saying The swf contains invalid data. I dont know what is creating this issue. I have been searching google but the only solution I got was to remove any code on the timeline (which I do not have) and convert any jpeg to lossless gif/png ( have done that for all the bitmap even though my form does not use any of them). But still the issue is not going. I have also tried shifting the respective symbols at the origin but no result. Has somebody faced similar error before? Please provide me some pointers. Its driving me mad Thanks, Rohit
Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection Does Not Show Items In Order When Passed to .NET WebService
Hi Sam,
Basically this is the process which I am using.
.NET
Retrieve records from Oracle DB and store the same into a dataset. Return the
dataset as XML string via the command DataSet.GetXML.
Flex
In the event handler of my webservice method call, I parse the string into XML,
then ArrayCollection via the following codes:
private var _xmlData:XML;
[Bindable] private var arrDP:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
_xmlData = XML(event.result);
var oTemp:Object;
var xl:XMLList = _xmlData.children();
var i:int;
for(i = 0; i xl.length(); i++)
{
oTemp = {NAME:xl[i].NAME.text(), TEAM:xl[i].TEAM.text(),
JERSEY:xl[i].JERSEY.text(), MANAGER:xl[i].MANAGER.text()};
arrDP.addItem(oTemp);
}
and in my datagrid, I am setting its dataProvider to the arrDP variable.
I used Array Collection because I implemented a search and filter functionality
which searches and filters the data accordingly for the dataprovider which is
then reflected back to the datagrid.
Now, when I need to return the ArrayCollection to .NET, I simply pass the same
as a parameter to a .NET function which accepts ArrayList as parameter.
.NET
Once the function receieves the arraycollection (which is then now an array
list), I get the arrays inside the arraylist and get the values inside the
array.
I think by doing things like this, it may not be the best way.
You mentioned you'd map the XML to typed objects in .NET. How can I do this?
Instead of using arraycollection as dataprovider in my datagrid, can I use
another which would be much easier when I pass back to the .NET function?
Whats the best way to interact large set of data (datasets) between .NET and
Flex?
Thanks a lot.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection Does Not Show Items In Order When
Passed to .NET WebService
Instead of using an array list and trying to emulate the type-less
abilities of AS3, I'd try to map the XML to typed objects in .NET. Or
does the XML from your Flex app differ too wildly to do this?
Are you using the XmlSerializer to deserialize this? Or are you using
WCF? Or are you doing it some other way, or manually?
I'd provide an example, but I don't know enough details on your
situation to give something useful :)
2009/7/3 Angelo Anolin angelo_anolin@ yahoo.com:
Hi Sam,
Care to show some examples? I am parsing the arrayCollection into an
ArrayList on .NET. This is particularly not too appealing since I just
discovered that for example, if one of the objects in the arraycollection
would have an empty string value, the number of items inside the array is
not reflected properly in .NET.
Like:
private var arrR:ArrayCollectio n = new ArrayCollection( [{ID:001 ,
Value:Select },
{ID:002,
Value:Choose },
{ID:003,
Value:},]) ;
When I pass this var arrR into a .NET webservice and delegate it to an
ArrayList, the items in the array list will have one of the arrays only
containing 1 item (instead of 2).
Adding to my problem is the fact that the arrays inside the array list when
read in .NET should have the object ID and Value be in order but they are
not. This is further true when there are many items in the array
collection. Sometimes, the first item becomes the last one in the array
list, and sometimes the order is not well.
In any case, I am finding a solution on how I would be able to pass an
ArrayCollection to .NET and be able to parse it properly.
Thanks.

How is it being parsed in .NET? You can parse it into a hashtable, or
better yet, use a pre-defined object.
Not sure why the order is different, but it is probably fragile to
rely on the order in this case.
2009/7/2 Angelo Anolin angelo_anolin@ yahoo.com:
Hi FlexCoders,
I have an array collection which I am populating as follows:
var oTemp:Object;
var xl:XMLList = _xmlData.children( );
var i:int;
for(i = 0; i xl.length(); i++)
{
oTemp = {ID_TAG:xl[i] .ID.text( ), CAT_TAG:xl[i] .CAT.text( ),
DET_TAG:xl[i] .DET.text( ), REP_DATE_TAG: xl[i].REP_ DATE.text( ),
IND_TAG:xl[i] .IND.text( )};
arrDP.addItem( oTemp);
}
Now, when I pass back this Array Collection back into a web service, the
fields are not in order as I have added them into the array collection.
I am expecting that in my Web Service, when I parse this arraycollection
(via arraylist), I would be getting the same order of columns as I have
added them, i.e. the first array in the array list would have element 0 to
be the value I placed in the ID.
Since the arraylist does

[flexcoders] dynamic image gallery
Hi guys I have a problem with an image gallery am trying to do. This is the
scenario. In my application I have the main application file gallery.mxml and
three custom components namely imageName.mxml, imageGallery.mxml and
Thumbnail.mxml. what am trying to do is have a dynamic image gallery where
imageName.mxml loads image names from a database and is used to point to a
path to get corresponding images on the server. So am using events to tell the
main application that image source has changed so that whenever someone clicks
on the list of image names, different images are loaded in the horizontal list.
Everything works perfectly well except the images are not showing up in the
horizontal list component. Yet when I test the path to images everything is
good and event the events are dispatched well. Please help me understand what
is causing the images not to show in the horizontal list. Below is my code
.
Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Problems with Julian Dates with AIR percision?
I'm writing some unit tests for my database, and I'm having a real problem with Julian date comparisons in the SQLite database. I'm trying to load records by the following query: select * from Table where created_at ? If my given Date is less than stored dates by 100ms SQLite fails to hand them back. I've taken the times stored in SQLite and put them into coversion programs to convert them to unix epoch longs, and millisecond percision is stored in the number. SQLIte does have percision down to the millisecond, but when I do a sql query they fail to compare correctly. I've also confirmed that I do get back the milliseconds correctly stored in the actionscript's Date object. Has anyone else had trouble like this? Should I just store them as unix epoch integers rather than SQLite's Julian? These timestamps are important and I want them to be as precise as possible so while I could chalk it up to only have second precision that increases the likelyhood of mistakes if operations occur within that second.

[flexcoders] List ScrollToIndex does not work for last item in List
How do you make scrollToIndex work on a List where the last item in the List is currently not visible? When I use List.scrollToIndex it works for any item above my current selection, but will never scroll to the end of the List.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: getting the xml data from a dispatched event
It seems like wherever this code is -
[Bindable]
private var customMeals:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
//throws error on this line
customMeals.addItem((event.target as mealitem).mealDetails);
event.target is actually the panel containing the 'create meal item'
button, as opposed to the mealitem itself. Can you post some more of
the script and MXML for that part?
The src folder is empty for me too in the ZIP file.

yes heres the results

How can I access the object data, it's in a file thats under the folder
/com/nutrition/file.mxml

Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection Does Not Show Items In Order When Passed to .NET WebService
I just wrote up a simple C# web service that accepts an ArrayList:
[WebMethod]
public bool ArrayListTest(System.Collections.ArrayList a)
{ ... }
Then in Flex I wrote this,
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
private function sendWebServiceCall():void
{
trace(appComplete);
ws.ArrayListTest(new ArrayCollection([
{name:bob, id:808 }, {
name:fred, id: }]));
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:WebService wsdl=http://localhost:63868/Service1.asmx?WSDL; id=ws
mx:operation name=ArrayListTest result=trace(event.result)
fault=trace(event.fault.faultString)/
/mx:WebService
When sendWebServiceCall is triggered, it calls the C# web service and
passes the ArrayCollection to it.
In the web service, the ArrayCollection is received as an array list
of XmlNodes. Each XmlNode contains a node for each field, even if it
is an empty string.
tns:id xmlns:tns=http://tempuri.org/;808/tns:id
tns:name xmlns:tns=http://tempuri.org/;bob/tns:name
tns:id xmlns:tns=http://tempuri.org/;/tns:id
tns:name xmlns:tns=http://tempuri.org/;fred/tns:name
Is this anything like what you're getting? The edge case you described
in another email about an empty string causing problems doesn't seem
to cause problems.
Also see inline.
2009/7/3 Angelo Anolin angelo_ano...@yahoo.com:
I think by doing things like this, it may not be the best way.
You mentioned you'd map the XML to typed objects in .NET. How can I do
this?
As you're using a dataset, this isn't really an option. A dataset as
opposed to a collection of typed objects are two ways of handling data
from data sources; it is arguable which way is better.
The problem in your case, is that the XML generated as a result of
passing an ArrayCollection to a web service method cannot be passed
into the dataset's readXml method. (Even if it could by inferring a
schema, it would be different to your database's schema.)
The only way I know of to do seamless transfer of data without having
to parse XML is to use WebORB. Otherwise you will have to parse the
XML produced on both sides to re-create the dataset/object.
Instead of using arraycollection as dataprovider in my datagrid, can I use
another which would be much easier when I pass back to the .NET function?
I wonder if it is possible to bind your datagrid directly to the e4x
XML? That way you can pass the entire XML doc back to .NET via the web
service, and hence you can re-create the dataset using
dataset.readXML.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection Does Not Show Items In Order When
Passed to .NET WebService
Instead of using an array list and trying to emulate the type-less
abilities of AS3, I'd try to map the XML to typed objects in .NET. Or
does the XML from your Flex app differ too wildly to do this?
Are you using the XmlSerializer to deserialize this? Or are you using
WCF? Or are you doing it some other way, or manually?
I'd provide an example, but I don't know enough details on your
situation to give something useful :)
2009/7/3 Angelo Anolin angelo_anolin@ yahoo.com:
Hi Sam,
Care to show some examples? I am parsing the arrayCollection into an
ArrayList on .NET. This is particularly not too appealing since I just
discovered that for example, if one of the objects in the arraycollection
would have an empty string value, the number of items inside the array is
not reflected properly in .NET.
Like:
private var arrR:ArrayCollectio n = new ArrayCollection( [{ID:001 ,
Value:Select },
{ID:002,
Value:Choose },
{ID:003,
Value:},]) ;
When I pass this var arrR into a .NET webservice and delegate it to an
ArrayList, the items in the array list will have one of the arrays only
containing 1 item (instead of 2).
Adding to my problem is the fact that the arrays inside the array list
when
read in .NET should have the object ID and Value be in order but they are
not. This is further true when there are many items in the array
collection. Sometimes, the first item becomes the last one in the array
list, and sometimes the order is not well.
In any case, I am finding a solution on how I would be able to pass an
ArrayCollection to .NET and be able to parse it properly.
Thanks.

How is it being parsed in .NET? You can parse it into a hashtable, or
better yet, use a pre-defined object.
Not sure why the order is
