[flexcoders] Passing XMLListCollection to .NET
Hi FlexCoders, Been quite a while. Had been busy with a lot of things other than Flex. Anyway, I want to pass an XMLListCollection to a .NET web service. What type of variable should I assign it to in .NET? I am thinking of ArrayList but it seems it does not match properly. Thanks and regards. Angelo

[flexcoders] Trying to build slideshow functionality with wipe effects.
Hello All, I've built a slideshow feature in our application. One of the requirements was that the images transition to the next with a nice wipe/slide effect. I built up two solutions, both with drawbacks: 1) Used a view stack, added a repeater that added a VBox and Image for each photo to display. I was able to get the appropriate slide/scrolling effect to work by attaching show and hide effects on a VBox that contained the image. This worked really well when there was 10 imgeas. However, when I loaded 200 images...ouch memory management nightmare up to 1 gig of memory being used before crashing. Next solution, I tried something simpler: 2) Used a HorizontalList component and built some code to scroll through all the images. This worked much better from a memory management perspective, however, I've LOST the ability to have the transitions of sliding from one image to the next. My questions: 1) Has anyone seen any code that uses the List (HorizontalList) components for sliding/moving images into the main view area? How do you get the effects to work with moving the itemRenderers around (this doesn't seem possible?) 2) Anyone tried writing a component where there's a main view area, and an area to the left and right where you buffer images off screen for the sake of wiping/sliding them in? Then when you move to the next image, the main image slides left, the left (off-screen image container) is then moved to the right, and he the right image slides into the middle. This is a sort of recycling of components. Seems like a lot of work and would be prone to bugs. I'm open for any other ideas on making a slideshow with these sliding/scrolling transitions. Thanks for any suggestions.

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

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Trying to build slideshow functionality with wipe effects.
Most of the time when I do any page transitions I take a bitmap of the current page and display that over everything. Then swap the content below this. Finally applying the effect to the bitmap. If you need the 'next' page to do the effect (like a slide in effect) then you take two bitmaps. Using bitmaps this way isn't always the simplest, but it can help with performance of the effect.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex scheduler application
My app takes advantage of the built-in support for SQLite which comes with the AIR runtime. There's just a .db file stored on the user's machine where the data is at.

[flexcoders] Filtering of ToggleButtonBar/ViewStack items
I'm using a ToggleButtonBar with a ViewStack in the classic sense, where ToggleButtonBar.dataProvider = theViewStack. I want to configure what buttons are available to click based on runtime conditions and cannot find any property that makes this possible. What I'd like to do is provide a filterFunction on the ToggleButtonBar.dataProvider but unlike most dataProvider properties in various list-based constructs, ToggleButtonBar.dataProvider is not stored as a filterable collection. My kludge is to call toggleButtonBar.removeItemAt(n) based on the conditions after it's been constructed. It works, but there must be a more elegant way to filter the ButtonBar data provider so various runtime conditions will control which ViewStack views are available to the user.

[flexcoders] MultiPage printing
Hi,
I am trying to print a series of pages of labels in AIR.
I have a single page working where I have a VBox component with a tilelist.
My main code creates a new FlexPrintJob, adds the printview and adds the
tilelist array collection to the printview and sends the job
// Create a PrintJob instance.
private function doPrint():void {
var TileListdp:ArrayCollection;
currentnum = int(txt_startnum.text);
// Create an instance of the FlexPrintJob class.
var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
// Start the print job.
if (printJob.start() ){
for (var i:int=1; i=but_numpages.value; i++) {
var thePrintView:MyPrintView = new MyPrintView();
this.addChild(thePrintView);
TileListdp = new ArrayCollection(createlist());
thePrintView.tilelistprint.dataProvider = TileListdp;
printJob.addObject(thePrintView,ShowAll);
}
printJob.send();
removeChild(thePrintView);
}
}
As a single page it works, as multipage it doesn't. All examples that I have
seen use the PrintDataGrid which doesn't support using tilelists.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Why not use XMLListCollection and send the xml to .net as a string? There is
little value in building an ArrayCollection of generic obects. You can
sort/filter an XMLListCollection.
XML is more verbose than some other methods, but if bandwidth is truly an
issue, then you should be looking at a binary protocol.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection Does Not Show Items In Order When

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:ArrayCollecti on = 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.

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?

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Accordion Menu?
Thank you! That works perfectly. I'm using normal buttons for the top level items with no children, and I'm using a window shade for top level items with children. I also set the verticalGap and the paddingTop to 0 on the window shade to remove extra space. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Vivian Richard kanps...@... wrote: See if this helps http://flexlib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/WindowShade/WindowShade_Sample.swf On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 5:59 PM, Benthegoosm...@... wrote: I am creating a website in Flex, and one of the requirements is an accordion like menu. See this image for what it needs to look like: http://i25.tinypic.com/1735hy.png The gray items do not have children. The dark blue items are children of the light blue item. Would someone tell me a good way to make this? I tried using a Tree with custom item renderers but have so far been unsuccessful. Any help is greatly appreciated.
