Because vars like 'a' and 'b', and Array elements like testx[0], store 
references to Objects. They aren't the Objects themselves. You can have many 
references to the same Object.

Initially you have

a -|
   --> { data: 100 }
testx[0] --|

b ---> { data: 200 }

When you assign a.data = 1000 you have

a -|
   --> { data: 1000 }
testx[0] --|

b ---> { data: 200 }

When you assign a = b, 'a' now points to the same object as 'b', but testx[0] 
continues to point to the same object, so you have

testx[0] > { data: 1000 }

a -|
   --> { data: 200 }
b -|

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Question about a flex component

The same way you dispatch any other event: Construct the Event instance, set 
its properties, and then call dispatchEvent() on the object that the event 
should be dispatched from (which generally is 'this'):

var mouseEvent:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN);
mouseEvent.localX = 10;
mouseEvent.localY = 10;
...
someComponent.dispatchEvent(mouseEvent);

[flexcoders] AIR and Right-Click behavior

2009-07-27 Thread grenma

Folks:


I am writing an AIR app that scripts right-clicking an item renderer in a 
custom component. The mouse event is captured but it seems that the item is 
immediately deselected (as if a context menu or other modal dialog were 
showing) before the event is captured. The cutom component is a Fisheye viewer 
that repositions and scales items on mouseover so any item that is sufficiently 
repostioned during mouseover "snaps back" to its non-highlighted position 
before event capture and therefore the event's target is incorrect or empty. Is 
there a way to override this behavior in air and maintain the mouseover after a 
right click?


This seems kind of obvious but the docs make no mention as far as I can see.

I fixed it so that I called the change="horizontalScrollListChange(event)". 
Then I pass in a ListEvent to the horizontalScrollListChange method. Can I 
dispatch a MouseEvent
from the horizontalScrollListChange method?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Question about a flex component

That's not how list-based components work. You don't add event listeners to 
data items. You listen to events dispatched by the list itself.

What are you trying to accomplish with your event handlers?

[flexcoders] Loading local SWFs in AIR to local-with-network sandbox

2009-07-27 Thread daniel.langh

Hello,

I'm trying to load locally stored SWF files from the app-storage directory of 
my AIR application into the local-with-network security sandbox.
Two SWFs are created with -use-network=true and use-network=false compiler 
flags respectively.
However both of them are loaded into the _local-with-file_ security sandbox, 
regardless of the above mentioned compiler flag.
I'm using the default LoaderContext.

Can anybody confirm this as a bug, or suggest a proper way to get things in the 
local-with-network sandbox?

Thanks, Daniel

[flexcoders] Mouse events and overlapping movie clips

2009-07-27 Thread alekseyvays

If two or move movie clips overlap, everything underneath the top movie clip 
does not seem to receive mouse events. I tried many things, including setting 
".mouseEnabled = false;" on the top movie clip and its constituents, but it 
still eats up all mouse interaction. Is there a way around this? Listening to 
all mouse events and using hitTest is not an option in my case. Please help.

[flexcoders] adding event listeners

do this?

I need an example of code, that dynamically(at runtime) adds objects to a 
horizontalList and that has eventhandlers for the selected item in the

[flexcoders] Re: Question about a flex component

None of my messages are getting posted on this forum.  The dataProvider is a 
ArrayCollection of cusom objects.  I 
added listeners to each object before I added the object to
the horizontal list at runtime.  I am not sure how to propogate the events when 
an item is selected from the horizontal list.

[flexcoders] Re: Question about a flex component

I have two problems at this point.  I used the following example,
to modify my code.  But problem 1 is: even though I added an eventListener to 
the object that I added to the HorizontalList, the
eventListener is not getting called when I click on the object in the UI.  
problem 2 is: the horizontal scroll bar looks wierd, it does not look like it 
should.  How should I proceed?

much appreciated,

Veena

[flexcoders] Adding event listeners to the horizontalList items

I added event listeners to each item, I added the items at runtime
to a horizontalList.  But not sure how to invoke the listener
when the individual item is clicked.  I can't define clickFunc because

RE: [flexcoders] Re: better option than repeater?

2009-07-27 Thread Battershall, Jeff

This would be my approach:

You need two dataProviders (ArrayCollections), one being for the available 
modules and the other for your list of staff. You'd only need two remote 
objects to retrieve them.

Your modules dataprovider would be passed into each component instance and used 
by the component to generate your list of available modules with checkboxes.  

Your repeater is going to accept the staff list dataProvider.  As it loops over 
the ArrayCollection, it will pass the selected modules for a given staff member 
to your checkbox component. It's up to you to write the setter function to pass 
the selected values into your checkbox component and to set the 'selected' 
property of each checkbox accordingly.

I don't quite get what you are trying to do.

Create a component. This component will display each staff member. Create a 
public variable to hold each staff record (Value Object) and pass that record 
to the component inside the repeater. The example I posted shows how to do this.

So, there is only one call to the RemoteObject service that returns an array 
collection of staff objects. The data provider of the repeater is set to this 
array collection. As the repeater runs, each instance of the component gets one 
staff record. You use this record to figure out which checkbox is to be set.

An mx:RemoteObject can be used wherever you need it. I have components with 
Remote Objects that are repeated. The first remote object call gets the data 
for each component which then makes its own RO call to get further data if the 
user selects that component. As an example, in your situation, you could have 
each staff member displayed with a button labeled "More Info". If a user clicks 
this button the RO in this component will make a call to the server to get more 
info for this staff member.

[flexcoders] Re: Measuring the width of a label

The problem you are going to face is that different fonts have different widths 
for different characters. For example, an "i" is thinner than an "o". You could 
try using a fixed width font and then counting characters.

I don't quite get what you are trying to do.

Create a component. This component will display each staff member. Create a 
public variable to hold each staff record (Value Object) and pass that record 
to the component inside the repeater. The example I posted shows how to do this.

So, there is only one call to the RemoteObject service that returns an array 
collection of staff objects. The data provider of the repeater is set to this 
array collection. As the repeater runs, each instance of the component gets one 
staff record. You use this record to figure out which checkbox is to be set.

An mx:RemoteObject can be used wherever you need it. I have components with 
Remote Objects that are repeated. The first remote object call gets the data 
for each component which then makes its own RO call to get further data if the 
user selects that component. As an example, in your situation, you could have 
each staff member displayed with a button labeled "More Info". If a user clicks 
this button the RO in this component will make a call to the server to get more 
info for this staff member.

[flexcoders] Problem with effects

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a little trouble here.

We've in our project a splashScreen window, where we use an effect on AS3
(Bitfade, if anyone knows).

Our trickly problem is: in Flex 3 it works with no problem, but with Flex 4
it doesn't works!

I tried: compile a separate file like embbeded in a lib, but nothing seems
work about it.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

2009-07-27 Thread Chet Haase

Box doesn't have a fill by default, so you're seeing right through the 
container to the background behind it. The glow you're seeing inside the box is 
actually just a general glow around each of the container's elements. You'd get 
the same result with a Canvas, although a Panel has a fillled background and 
doesn't have this effect.

You can get the effect you're looking for by setting a background color on the 
box:

[flexcoders] extending tileList - pagination

2009-07-27 Thread grimmwerks

Hey all - I'm extending tilelist and am displaying a 3x2 grid (6  
items) - I'm trying to see if there's currently a way to display the  
next/previous 6 items - ie paging back and forthrather than just  
scrolling, which will always show some items of the current view  
rather than just 1 item if it's alone on a 'page'.

I figure the easiest thing is to abscond the dataprovider and and  
parse it out internally -- but even looking through TileBase I can't  
quite figure out the best way to grab that...

thougths?

Yes, I suppose that could work, though it would complicate the build and the
test matrix.

I try to make a borderSkin which has a button that controls the its parent

[flexcoders] Solved with Inredi-Hack - > Re: contextMenus and Modules and Tree == Fail

2009-07-27 Thread djhatrick

I added the contextMenu to the application and it worked... seems modules need 
a lot of improvement in the framework. I have had so many problems with them...

BTW, will the 3.4 sdk be improved since 4 is already coming out soon.  I would 
hope so, at least for a year or more.  We can't all update to flex4 in at 
Adobe's pace unfortunately, especially for projects we just started a few 
months ago... my food for thought.

Thanks,
Patrick

(Now if i can get that big white ugly box from showing up!)

[flexcoders] contextMenus and Modules and Tree == Fail

2009-07-27 Thread djhatrick

I am having the difficult time, trying to apply a context Menu to a TreeList in 
module, has anybody had such a difficult time?


I've tried this:
http://blog.arc90.com/2008/04/adding_a_contextmenu_to_a_flex.php

and I've tried this:

http://michael.omnicypher.com/2007/02/flex-trees-with-context-menu_14.html

Seems when I put my contextMenu inside a module, when I right click nothing 
shows up, although it's created.

Also, when I right click on my module and move the mouse off a big ugly white 
box fills my container, yuck..  

Any suggestions,

Thanks,

Also in the example, the inner "hello" label gets the glow.  It seems like the

inside the Box.  Does anybody know how to make the Glow effect just the outside

OK here is a question that I am having some trouble with.  I have a flex
site with coldfusion 8 as the middle ware.  I need to set up clocks for
different parts of the world.  But how do I take into account daylight
savings, or the fact that daylight is not always on the same day or even
happen at all?

So I would want the time for DC, Zulu, and lets say London (and Zulu and
London are 1 hour off due to daylight savings)

Could you just alter the JavaScript wrapper to use the v9 or v10 version of 
your app, depending on what is installed in the client ?
You can still compile both from the same source code, it seems, and have 
different code paths taken depending if the the code is running on v9 or v10
