[flexcoders] need help to print text file available on server
Hi, If a text file is created on server through PHP Can Flex application print it directly on client's LAN printer ? If yes HOW ? Can it print that in Fast DMP mode i.e. raw text printing to dot matrix printers ? if not what alternative can be used ? I am able to download it from server and save locally or show it in another browser window/tab. The user wants it to be printed directly from flex application in fast DMP mode rather than using DOS commands like copy filename.txt lpt1: cr or any other local GUI program which can put raw output to windows print queue but that is not acceptable. Thanks and best regards. Raja
Re: [flexcoders] Re: creation timing on panel component
Hi did not go throgh your code but the problem is that you get your data on app
creationComplete. By the time you have the data the poanel is not created yet.
That is why you get the error. I don't know what are you trying to accomplish
and why are you loading another swf in the main app. My suggestion is to
restructure you code a little bit MVC style. Get the data into a model, put a
variable currentPlanType and wit respect to that bind to you current selected
plan. It will work with binding as you already said, because the bindings fire
first when null and secionnd time after you get your data and have the
component created.
You keep duplicated code in createBreakfast , Luynch and dinner which is not
OK.
HTH,

From what I see here the button click does not make the call to the http
service.
The general rule of the thumb is aftter the service call you push the data
into a model which usually updates the view via binding. I always parse data
into array collections or other strong typed objects. Having the items into
an array collection enables you to bind to it if you're using List based
components in the view. However in your case yuou could listed to the
collection change event and do your thing manually. Send me the code via
email and I'll try to debug it. I cannot figure it out from what I see. I
guess you make the call for the data and the result gets back before the
creation complete venet fopr the panel fires.

[flexcoders] Re: xml as dataprovider to datagrid
Thanks for the response. I've decided the best/most flexible way for me to
work this out is to build my own arraycollection from traversing xml and use
that as my dp

This is a common source of confusion and pain. AFAIK, there is no easy
way to deal with this - your code must anticipate the two data types.

Hello,

Now I'm trying to get totalCost as a datafield and for it to show up

But nothing shows up. So, I changed my dataprovider to
this.quoteXMLList.cost and put dataField=totalCost and it shows up
fine. But I can't do that cause I have more info I need to gather
for other columns that is in different areas of the xml in the
current xmlList. So, can you not put e4x notation in datafield, if
not what do I do here? Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Flex scheduler application
Hey all, I have been assigned a new project where i have to code a reminder scheduling application in flex with a coldfusion backend and sqlserver db. Basically user will select an hour when they receive a reminder to do a task. Its intended to be deployed world wide so I have to take into consideration time zones. What i wanted to know is, how is the date in flex worked out if i create a new date variable like so. var myDate:Date = new Date(); Will it pick up the time in the client computers timezone? Will it allow for daylight savings time? All help much appreciated. Thanks, Dave
RE: [flexcoders] Flex scheduler application
It will use whatever the client computer's current date/time is. It only takes daylight savings time into account if the client's computer has it set correctly and you'd be surprised how many times that doesn't happen. My company wrote a stock charting application and ran into some issues with this. I suggest attempting to do date operations on the server and pass the current date/time into the flex app on load. I recently wrote an AIR (Flex) reminder application (http://www.reynacho.com/projects/reminder-application/). If this is the type of thing you need, I'd be happy to share some of the code with you. It uses a SQLite DB to store everything and depends entirely on the computer's time settings Jake Churchill CF Webtools 11204 Davenport, Ste. 100 Omaha, NE 68154 http://www.cfwebtools.com 402-408-3733 x103 From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of joyfulrodger Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2009 9:10 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex scheduler application Hey all, I have been assigned a new project where i have to code a reminder scheduling application in flex with a coldfusion backend and sqlserver db.

RE: [flexcoders] Any suggestion for server (java) side run-time styling solution?
I'm a bit puzzled that you mention the need to compile in changes. Surely a SWF can load in an external css file? If so, could the swf not typically be made to access a CSS file (via whatever method) specifically for that user via their credentials, or via a token? This would allow run-time loading, and the ability to store, modify and retrieve it however you like on the server-side.

Hi, We read the documentation about loading styles from out side but unfortunately they all discuss loading swf compiled files. While it is possible to let an editor edit the style on the server and then run the compiler on the server to generate a swf file, it looks like redundant complexity. The server is a cluster and it'll require additional set-up for every server. Does anyone have a different solution? Just to clarify - the requirement is to have the client load the style in run-time. This style should be manageable on a management interface running on a java server.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: xml as dataprovider to datagrid
That is certainly a very good solution. In fact, it will be the most
performant if you use strongly typed value objects in your array collection.
For complex displays, there can be a noticeable performance hit when
accessing XML. There are other advantages to doing it this way also, such
as making calculated properties, sorting, etc.
To stay with e4x XML, use a labelFunction, which can traverse the nested xml
nodes as needed.

[flexcoders] Printing in fast DMP modde.
Hi, I would Like to print local/remote plain text files in fast dot matrix mode i.e. raw text output to printer, equivalent to DOS command is copy filename.txt lpt1:. Raw text output to printer is required since its almost 10/15 times faster than equivalent gfx printing. Can It be done in flex ? How ? Thanks and best regards Raja
