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:
Application...
..
mx:Canvas id=compHolder width=100% height=100%
horizontalScrollPolicy=off verticalScrollPolicy=off
components:myComp id=vis
width=100% height=100%
horizontalScrollPolicy=off verticalScrollPolicy=off
backgroundAlpha=0
scrollRect={rec}
cacheAsBitmap=true
mouseUp=handleVisMouseUp()
/
/mx:Canvas
I need to find the distance or gap between the vis.scrollRect xy position
relative to the vis xy 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 XY 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
RE: [flexcoders] Flex with Sharepoint
Sharepoint offers webservices to fetch the data back directly, so you
can target those rather than having to screen scrape.
Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms479390.aspx
I've written Air apps in the past for pulling out information from our
sharepoint site in a much nicer way than sharepoint itself ;)

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex with Sharepoint
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
cfobject type=.NET action=create

name=pathBug1
cfset foo = pathBug1.getURLData (http://serveraddress/PATH/webpagename
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

[flexcoders] Re: Receiving AIR LocalConnection Slows App
I'm still hopelessly plugging away at this. I've tried: - profiling the application to gain any insight into the issue - running traces throughout the window to see if it is firing differently I'm not able to see any differences between the window being instantiated via the receiving localConnection method and it being instantiated within the AIR app directly. The window is being instantiated the exact same way in both circumstances -- logic for launching it is encapsulated in a static method in the window itself. Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but I'm thinking this is a bug in AIR or Flex. I've opened the following report: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-23425 Any ideas? Thanks, Mike --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, michaelisraelcaplan mcap...@... wrote: 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] BlazeDS | AsyncMessages and not being consumed | No Client
Hi
I am using the blazeds server. I have created the destination and i am able to

The issue i am facing is that i have my java program which keep sending the
messages to the blazeds server. At this point i have no client(browser) to
consume the messages.So all the messages are accumulated at blazeds. At one
point there are so many messages that my weblogic server goes out of memmory.
So my question is how to destroy those messages which are not consume. I am
using the message-time-to-live tag but this does not seem to work. Please see
the configuration below.

AsyncMessage msg = new AsyncMessage();
msg.setDestination(destinationNameFlex);
try

msg.setMessageId(objectMessage.getJMSMessageID());

RE: [flexcoders] How to make the effect smooth
Scaling text is a funny thing. Generally, you won't get what you're asking for
- smooth-scaling. The problem is that to display text in any reasonable way (in
a way where it won't look completely ugly), graphics engines use things like
font metrics, point sizes, font hints, sub-pixel anti-aliasing, and anything
else they can to make it look readable. This is quite different from simple
graphic objects. This means that when you 'scale' a text string, it will always
try to display itself in a point size that's appropriate to the scale factor.
And that means it's going to snap as it scales up and down, as it hits
different point sizes.
This problem is related to why the text would simply disappear in Flex 3 when a
text component was rotated or faded - by default, we would use a device font,
and that engine just couldn't display the text in any reasonable manner when it
was transformed or faded. (the workaround was to use an embedded font - I'm
just illustrating the problems here...) This is different in Flex 4, since we
use the new Flash player 10 text engine that uses software rendering for text
and avoids the device rendering issues. But still, you'll get a much different
looking text string when rotated than you will when it's not rotated, because
various font display tricks break down when they're not linearly displayed.
The only workaround for this I know of is to attempt to capture the text as an
image and scale that instead. In this case, draw your text component to some
bitmap and swap it out for the duration of the effect.
But even that won't give you a nice result. That is, you'll get smooth scaling
of the graphics (including the text), but the text won't look very good (for
the simple reason that text drawn without all of the font tricks mentioned
above tends to look horrible, and scaled bitmaps of the text will look even
worse), and if you swap this scaled version of the text out for the real text
when the effect finishes, you'll get a snapping artifact, as we go from the
bitmap display of the text to the real display of the text at the appropriate
point size. I'm pretty sure this isn't what you want either.
The best way I know of to deal with this harsh text reality is to work around
it, and they way you do it depends on your situation. For example, you might
just fade the text out at the start of the effect, scale up the text area, then
fade it back in when it's done. This way you'll get good text display at the
beginning and end, and will avoid the snapping artifacts as it scales. You
could also do things like capture the text into a bitmap and scale it, but also
apply a blur and/or fade, so that the user can see the text, but in such a way
that the difference between the animated version and the before/after version
is less jarring.
Hope that helps.
Chet.

[flexcoders] How is this possible - Who's Here
I am creating a simple chat room for a web site using Flex and BlazeDS. Chat works fine, but how can I produce a shared Object amongst all the people logged in so they can see who else is in the room? Please tell me its not a 'switch' in the database when they login... Thanks!
Re: [flexcoders] How to make the effect smooth
I have the numbers 0 to 9 typed into Flash file, broken down into vector
graphics.
They scale up okay, but I treat each digit as a movieClip imported into
Flex from a swc.
Placing the digits is a lot of work, but you don't need a particular font.

Scaling text is a funny thing. Generally, you won’t get what you’re
asking for – smooth-scaling. The problem is that to display text in
any reasonable way (in a way where it won’t look completely ugly),
graphics engines use things like font metrics, point sizes, font
hints, sub-pixel anti-aliasing, and anything else they can to make it
look readable. This is quite different from simple graphic objects.
This means that when you ‘scale’ a text string, it will always try to
display itself in a point size that’s appropriate to the scale factor.
And that means it’s going to snap as it scales up and down, as it hits
different point sizes.
This problem is related to why the text would simply disappear in Flex
3 when a text component was rotated or faded – by default, we would
use a device font, and that engine just couldn’t display the text in
any reasonable manner when it was transformed or faded. (the
workaround was to use an embedded font – I’m just illustrating the
problems here…) This is different in Flex 4, since we use the new
Flash player 10 text engine that uses software rendering for text and
avoids the device rendering issues. But still, you’ll get a much
different looking text string when rotated than you will when it’s not
rotated, because various font display tricks break down when they’re
not linearly displayed.
The only workaround for this I know of is to attempt to capture the
text as an image and scale that instead. In this case, draw your text
component to some bitmap and swap it out for the duration of the effect.
But even that won’t give you a nice result. That is, you’ll get smooth
scaling of the graphics (including the text), but the text won’t look
very good (for the simple reason that text drawn without all of the
font tricks mentioned above tends to look horrible, and scaled bitmaps
of the text will look even worse), and if you swap this scaled version
of the text out for the real text when the effect finishes, you’ll get
a snapping artifact, as we go from the bitmap display of the text to
the real display of the text at the appropriate point size. I’m pretty
sure this isn’t what you want either.
The best way I know of to deal with this harsh text reality is to work
around it, and they way you do it depends on your situation. For
example, you might just fade the text out at the start of the effect,
scale up the text area, then fade it back in when it’s done. This way
you’ll get good text display at the beginning and end, and will avoid
the snapping artifacts as it scales. You could also do things like
capture the text into a bitmap and scale it, but also apply a blur
and/or fade, so that the user can see the text, but in such a way that
the difference between the animated version and the before/after
version is less jarring.
Hope that helps.
Chet.

[flexcoders] htmltext in spark textarea
Hi Guys, I'm Trying to use htmltext in a spark textarea, but I see there's no s:htmlText.. is this possible? any idea? Thanks in advance Claudio Bastos http://www.blumersolutions.com
Re: [flexcoders] Beginner Questions
Most would use ActionScript 3. The Flex Framework add a lot of overhead to a highly animated game. The controls weren't made for that type of genre of application. You could use OS Flex but Flex Builder's built-in's will save you clicks in the long run and you just get things done out faster, which means gratification faster. It all depends on the type of game you are developing whether vector or bitmap. Vectors can give you an advantage in portable file size and smooth scaling. Bitmaps can give you control as a static canvas but you pay the price in large file sizes. Code-wise, your graphics is wrapped by a container, you move the container. Code doesn't really care so much what's in the container. You should also consider the growing libraries out there for actionscript like Papervision 3d and AS3 Data Structures For Game Developers. You could also recycle your C/C++ expertise via Alchemy http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/alchemy/ Alchemy In Action - http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/470460 Thx, -mL mugathur wrote: Hello. I am very new to both Flash and Flex. I've been programming video games in C/C++ for a while now and thought I'd try something faster to develop. So, I have a few questions, specifically geared towards games development. Do games developers usually use Flex or just raw Flash? Is just using the Flex open source compiler viable or is purchasing the Flex Builder pretty instrumental to effective use of the language? Is there a heavy preference between vector art or bitmap art in flash development? Is the code significantly different between the two? I'm sure I'll have more questions, but I'll kick it off with these.

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:
Application...
..
mx:Canvas id=compHolder width=100% height=100%
horizontalScrollPolicy=off verticalScrollPolicy=off
components:myComp id=vis
width=100% height=100%
horizontalScrollPolicy=off verticalScrollPolicy=off
backgroundAlpha=0
scrollRect={rec}
cacheAsBitmap=true
mouseUp=handleVisMouseUp()

/mx:Canvas
I need to find the distance or gap between the vis.scrollRect xy position
relative to the vis xy 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 XY 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.

I thought there were some third-party map components out there. But in

be halfway there.

RE: [flexcoders] Any way to make default event handler execute before my custom event handler?
preventDefault won't stop the other handlers from getting the event, it just warns them not to do what they'd normally do, and they can ignore and do stuff anyway. And if the event isn't cancelable, preventDefault has no effect. But that won't change the order in which the handlers get called. You either have to change the order in which the handlers get added or use the priority parameter of addEventListener to affect the order.
