RE: [flexcoders] e4x Filtering Success

[Tracy Spratt]

Don't do that much code in-line, declare a Bindable instance level
XMLListCollection variable and create that in a creationComplete handler.
That way you can debug your e4x expression using toXMLString();  It will be
nearly impossible to debug the inline binding.

the & needs to be the correct xml entity, I believe.

try using && in your mxml rather than &&

It's trying to tell you that, but it took me a few head scratches to work it
out, I must admit.

(partially...)

I was able to filter through e4x via mx:XML and the dataProvider as
follows...




How can I add an additional filter argument from here?  Using the &&
technique gave me error that "entity name must immediately follow &"

I want to filter something like: region = Asia AND GDP/capita = 1  

Thanks!

Use a Timer to call destroyToolTip(). I believe that hideDelay only affects 
tooltips that are automatically shown, not ones that you show with 
createToolTip().

[flexcoders] Re: JavaScript can't call Flex

[bgamblin]

Ah Ha! Found it. The problem was in my flex code, in the callback. I defined it 
as taking one parameter, an event. Just to make sure that wasn't the problem, I 
put in a default value of "null" for the parameter, but that's not the same as 
having no parameter at all. So, when JavaScript called it with no parameters, 
Flex didn't recognize the same signature, and stopped (if I could run this 
through the debugger, I probably would have found that).

So, note to self. Setting a default parameter as null is not the same, 
signature-wise, as sending no parameters.

Thanks to Paul Anderson for his help.

[flexcoders] Re: JavaScript can't call Flex

[bgamblin]

There are many things that the user has to do to get to the menu where this 
call is made. So, the Flash would have to be ready, or else it wouldn't have 
been responding to state changes, button presses, and all the other things 
necessary to get to that point.

I do know, for instance, that this occurs after the creationComplete event is 
called, and after several interactions with the backend.

I think that, if I could find out what was going on in the JavaScript (by 
getting an error code or determining whether that function was available on 
that object, or something), it would give me a better idea of what I was 
looking at.

How do you know? Unless you let Flex tell you when it's ready to go, 
Javascript won't know when enough of the SWF has been loaded.

Sharepoint servers have all kinds of Webservices established you can

I suspect you're calling the function before the SWF is properly loaded. 
Get the Flex app to call a javascript function to say when it's ready to 
run, only then call any functions in the SWF.

[flexcoders] JavaScript can't call Flex

[bgamblin]

I've got a SWF, embedded in an object, just like the standard Flex HTML. In 
another section of the same HTML, I have JavaScript that calls a function in 
the SWF. However, when the call is made, everything stops. That is to say, all 
code written after that call is ignored, and the function itself doesn't 
execute.

// In the HTML
function JavaCall()
{
   getFlexApp('SWFName').callFlexFunc();
}

function getFlexApp(appName) 
{
   if (navigator.appName.indexOf ("Microsoft") !=-1)  return window[appName];
   else return document[appName];

// inside app creation function
ExternalInterface.addCallback("callFlexFunc", calledFunc);

I should note that the object and embed that hold the SWF are set to 
allowScriptAccess="always". It's not something I intend to ship with, but I'm 
grasping at straws at this point.

Every tutorial I've seen on the subject seems to indicate that I'm doing just

RE: [flexcoders] e4x Filtering Success

[Jim Hayes]

the & needs to be the correct xml entity, I believe.

try using && in your mxml rather than &&

It's trying to tell you that, but it took me a few head scratches to work it 
out, I must admit.

(partially...)

I was able to filter through e4x via mx:XML and the dataProvider as follows...




How can I add an additional filter argument from here?  Using the && technique 
gave me error that "entity name must immediately follow &"

I want to filter something like: region = Asia AND GDP/capita = 1  

Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] scrollRect ???

[Alex Harui]

I'm pretty sure scrollrects are always positioned at 0,0.  It essentially 
creates a mask of a certain size, positions it at 0,0, then only shows the 
pixels that would otherwise be displayed at x,y at 0,0

Subject: [flexcoders] scrollRect ???



Wondering if anyone knows how to get the difference between the scrollRect x 
position relative to the components edges?

I am building a pancontrol, similar to the ones found Google Maps or Yahoo 
Maps, for quick navigation.

In order to setup my pancontrol I need to find out the following given this 
code:





I need to find the distance or gap between the vis.scrollRect x&y position 
relative to the vis x&y position. My application width & height are 600 x 600. 
Vis width and height are 3000 x 900 so they extend off screen. I am using the 
scrollRect to limit what is viewable. But in order build my pancontrol I need 
to find the diff between the X & Y of the scrollRect in relation to the X&Y of 
the Vis. So how far off left, right, bottom, and top of the visible area does 
Vis extend. I need those numbers in pixels.

TIA, J

[flexcoders] Dropdown won't show (combobox, Menus)

[Michelle's Transition]

Hi Everyone,
I have a problem that's getting on my nerve just a bit. I'm working on a EMR 
app and would like to display a PDF file in my Flex app. I'm using the HTML 
component to display it which works good so far, but my current version of the 
screen is using a PopUpMenuButton to allow selection of a PDF file. My issue is 
that once a selection is made and the PDF is loaded, if I try and select a 
option from the menu again, the dropdown won't display (or its getting covered 
up my the HTML control). I have 3 versions of this form and each have a simular 
problem. THe first version follows:
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
layout="absolute" resize="resizeWindowContents()">


  



   
   
   



  
  
  




Note: Scripts not shown
In the version above when the form first loads (without a PDF file) the 
Dropdown on the combobox is visable. Once I select a option and a PDF is loaded 
the dropdown no longer displays in full, meaning it appears that the dropdown 
gets trapped inside the ApplicationControlBar.

The last version follows:
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
layout="absolute">








Question, How do I keep the dropdown on top of all other control on the form? 
Thanks for any help.
Michael

[flexcoders] Re: How to stop a button click from changing focus

[reflexactions]

I have that set already and it seems to have no impact on this.

I think thats becuase the SystemManager is capturing the MouseDown at 
SystemManager level so it sees the mouse down event which is not really 
effected by mouseFocusEnabled setting on the button. 

Once it sees the mouse down it runs the activate/deactivate code regardless of 
any focus enabled prop.

Yes I want to be able to click in the main form because that is where the

If it is easier to understand think of a toolbar that lives in the main form 
with several non-modal popup windows. Clicking the toolbar will do something to

So when you click a button in the toolbar I dont want it to remove focus from 
the active popup, becuase otherwise by the time the button's click fires focus 
has been moved to the main app.

So far a hack that works is to have my own mouseDown handler that runs ahead of

If not, you could simply set the "modal" property of the popup to "true"
when you create it.

[Jake Churchill]

Look into the PopupManager.createPopup method

 

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/managers/PopUpManager.html 

 

There is a modal attribute which is false by default.  I believe if you set
that to true, you'll get your desired result.

[flexcoders] Receiving AIR LocalConnection Slows App

[michaelisraelcaplan]

Hi,

I'm working through a really strange issue with my Flex 4 AIR app.  I've lost 
days of sleep, hair, and numerous brain cells trying to get to the source of 
the issue with no luck.  The scenario is as follows:

 - AIR app with initialized receiving and sending localConnection objects.

 - Browser with an initialized receiving and sending localConnection objects.

 - The AIR app receiving localConnection object is triggered by the browser, 
resulting in a new instance of a spark window.

 - Form elements in the window (DropDownList in particular) become _slow_.  For 
example, to open up the dropDownList I need to click and hold for 3-5 seconds.


The reason I believe that this is a issue with the AIR receiving 
localConnection is if I open a new instance of the spark window from the AIR 
app directly it works fine.  As soon as I open a new instance from the 
receiving localConnection method, that instance slows.  Also, any future 
instances opened (from the AIR app directly) are also slow until I restart the 
application.

I'm looking for some tips on how to solve this issue.  Or, if you have ideas 
how I can better troubleshoot this, that would be great too.

Thanks,

Mike

[flexcoders] Flex with Sharepoint

[Netaman]

Does anyone have a better way of integrating Flex with Sharepoint then with a 
ColdFusion remote call to a C# app;

C# code here 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;

namespace pathBugLibrary1
{
public class pathBug1
{
public String getURLData(string urlName,string username, string 
password)
{
CookieContainer Cookies = new CookieContainer();

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(urlName);
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
request.Method = "GET";

WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
//string responseFromServer = 
(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
reader.Close();
response.Close();
return (responseFromServer);
}
}
}

I am doing a screen scrape from Sharepoint in ColdFusion and returning all the 
pertenient data back to Flex for display and user interaction.

ColdFusion 8 code here for .Net 

http://serveraddress/PATH/webpagename","username","password";)>  

then you can parse foo for specifics, and return any data you need back to flex

I am looking for a better way to use the sharepoint data with a flex frontend, 
the code above works, just alot of web data parsing on my end

If I have a popup window which has focus and I then click a button that is in 
the application main form the SystemManager's mouseDown handler automatically 
activates the main app and deactivates the popup.

How can I stop that from happening.
