Re: [flexcoders] rotate button
Thanks Tracy. I have tried both ways and they work as long as you are not resizing the parent canvas. But my requirement is that the parent canvas needs to be resizable. In simple language all I am looking for is a vertical label at the left side of the parent canvas that will stay at the vertical center even if the parent canvas resizes. On Sun, Oct 4, 2009 at 7:12 PM, Tracy Spratt tr...@nts3rd.com wrote: Two ways to do this. The one I have used is to put the thing you want to rotate on a canvas and assign negative x,y values to it so its center is at the 0,0 of the canvas.. Thus, the rotation about the top/left of the parent canvas become becomes rotation about the center of the child. The other way is to use a matrix transformation. I have not done this yet, but it essentially does the same thing, moving the rotation registration point.

I have discovered an unusual problem with Flex and the use of workspace linked
resources
(Window/Preferences/General/Workspace/Linked Resources).
If you have a source path that is partially a linked resource (ie ${MYPATH}
and another part is a number, then Flex cannot find
the path.
For example, the following will work:
${MYPATH}\Components\ABCComponents
but the following will not
.
If I look at the properties for the failed link, I get some strange stuff:
Location: MYPATH/Components/ABC%25320Components
Resolved location: full path\Components\ABC%320Components - (does not exist)
I am using Flex Eclipse with Ganymede on Vista 64bit, if that makes a
difference.
If I take out the linked resource and just use the full path, then it works
fine. It seems that Flex is trying to escape the path
or something, although it does not need to?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Resizing transparent png
Thanks for your help.
Using smoothing helped a bit, but I was still seeing pixelization. My image
was 100x100 and I was setting scaleX=.6 and scaleY=.6(using Zoom effect to
1), changing my scaleX/Y to .5 produced an image that was perfect. I guess I
need to respect the aspect ratio and use scale values that would not require
rounding???
Do you know if we need to set scale values according to the aspect ratio(any
rule of thumb)?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adobe promises *full flash* on mobile devices (all except iPhone)
H. Nice looking tree. My brother used to work for Sprint/Nextel, and he told me how they basically laughed in Apple's faces, and told them that the iPhone would fail, and that Apple had no clue about the phone business. Who's laughing now? Let's be honest, all these other phones look absolutely dated in comparison. I know, everyone doesn't want an iPhone, fine. Sure there's a non-iPhone market out there, but the app sales on these phones are horrible. So, what's the point? iPhone app sales are exploding. Apple actually delivered that holy grail of making the phone a serious profit center. A great user experience is what made Flash the success it is. The iPhone is successful for the same reason. Any platform that does not deliver the experience the user wants, will not do as well. So, I can't bring myself to get evenly slightly excited about this. I'm a lot more excited to see how the makers of the Pocket God iPhone app used Flash animation and converted it into animation for the iPhone. If full flash on these mobile devices means addressing the problems of memory leaks, high cpu, and low battery life, than they have made a big step. These are likely reasons why Flash is not on iPhone today. But if Adobe is spending valuable resources making full Flash for Android, I have to seriously question the business case. Yes, it's a good thing, and I hope Android succeeds. But it wouldn't be surprising if Adobe spent more money in development than the entire amount of money the whole non-Apple industry made back in app sales. What's going to sell more copies of Flash Pro? The ability to do Android? Or the ability to do iPhone? In the meantime, iPhone is continuing to eat up market share in big chunks and racking up huge sales.That's the forest. -- Cole - Original Message From: Paul Andrews p...@ipauland.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, October 5, 2009 4:32:57 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adobe promises *full flash* on mobile devices (all except iPhone) reflexactions wrote: Personally, for me, the real woo hoo! on this release is the global error handling.

[flexcoders] custom itemrender flicker
If I have a custom item render based on an ArrayCollection with 10 times, and just for fun, I loop through those 10 items and setItemAt the exact same values that are already there - on screen the list of items reloads in a sense, re-building itself to the exact same values. I would like that in such a case, the on-screen controls know that they are the same as before and not to rebuild themselves. Is this possible? Can I intercept some event to double check whether they are the same or different? The goal of course, is to have this behaviour even if one some items changed. For example if I change only the 10th item, I would expect only the 10th item to refresh, no the whole collection. Thanks for any ideas! P.S. I am not useing refresh() on the ArrayCollection is it set to auto-update. Also, all my setItemAt calls are done in commitProperties()

You're welcome. My boss owns an iPhone and wants everything we build to run on it. So I've been hunting high and low for any way to run Flash on the iPhone without a jailbreak. Some wording from the press release caught my eye: The Apple iPhone SDK license terms do not allow runtime interpreted code, so Adobe is not able to deliver Flash Player in Safari on the iPhone without support from Apple. Applications for the iPhone built with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 do not include any runtime interpreted code. So the apps built with CS5 will not include any runtime interpreted code.

Who's laughing now? Let's be honest, all these other phones look absolutely dated in comparison. I know, everyone doesn't want an iPhone, fine. Sure there's a non-iPhone market out there, but the app sales on these phones are horrible. So, what's the point? iPhone app sales are exploding. Apple actually delivered that holy grail of making the phone a serious profit center. A great user experience is what made Flash the success it is. The iPhone is successful for the same reason. Any platform that does not deliver the experience the user wants, will not do as well. So, I can't bring myself to get evenly slightly excited about this. I'm a lot more excited to see how the makers of the Pocket God iPhone app used Flash animation and converted it into animation for the iPhone. If full flash on these mobile devices means addressing the problems of memory leaks, high cpu, and low battery life, than they have made a big step. These are likely reasons why Flash is not on iPhone today. But if Adobe is spending valuable resources making full Flash for Android, I have to seriously question the business case. Yes, it's a good thing, and I hope Android succeeds. But it wouldn't be surprising if Adobe spent more money in development than the entire amount of money the whole non-Apple industry made back in app sales. What's going to sell more copies of Flash Pro? The ability to do Android? Or the ability to do iPhone? In the meantime, iPhone is continuing to eat up market share in big chunks and racking up huge sales.That's the forest. -- Cole - Original Message From: Paul Andrews p...@ipauland.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, October 5, 2009 4:32:57 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adobe promises *full flash* on mobile devices (all except iPhone) reflexactions wrote: Personally, for me, the real woo hoo! on this release is the global error handling.

[flexcoders] Detecting Flash Player standalone menu events
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with an integration issue I'm currently facing. The application I'm writing is going to be hosted on a client's platform that uses some kind of queuing mechanism to preload and schedule content that is to be delivered to an external screen. Apparently, the way it works is that it uses Standalone flash player to host any flash content. The content gets preloaded into this player, then is immediately 'stopped' (using the Flash Player's Stop menu) until the platform decides its ready to go to screen. When it goes to screen, Flash Player's 'Play' menu item is triggered, which is my queue to start my application. So my question is simple; does anyone know if I can hook up to those events, and if so, how? I'm guessing they're something to do with the timeline, but I'm not a CS developer, and I'm struggling to find any info on what exactly they do and the implications of them on SWFs developed in Flex. Any help much appreciated, Craig

Re: [flexcoders] custom itemrender flicker
Hey Alex, thanks a lot for your reply. So it is *proper* behaviour that if
you setItemAt in a custom itemrenderer that the whole control is rebuilt
visually? Incidentally I am using Flex 4, so this might be of even more
interest.
I have a SkinnableDataContainer with an ArrayCollection dataprovider that
holds custom objects ('reports' in this case).
If my current collection has:
1. Report #1 = Name: 1stReportName, Path: 1stReportPath
2. Report #2 = Name: 2ndReportName, Path: 2ndReportPath
And then I do a myArrayCollection.setItemAt(Report1, 0), which basically
sets the first item to the same report it currently has. The itemrenderer
empties of all items, then re-displays them, causing a flicker or flash that
is noticeable on a slow computer.
Wouldn't it make more sense for the itemrender NOT to re-build itself from
scratch on every change? What if you had 100 items and u onl;y set one item?
Thanks a lot!

Well... bad news for first generation ipod owners... I have an 8 gig version of the first gen ipod touch and have upgraded the OS to be version 3.1.1. I just downloaded the free demo apps and Trading Stuff and That Roach Game will not install. Red Hood installs but just kind of sits there and does nothing after the launch screen.

RE: [flexcoders] custom itemrender flicker
It depends on how you coded the renderer. Our list classes have very general
and somewhat inefficient update strategies because we want to make sure most
collection updates renderer correctly. I haven't looked at how Spark List
thinks, but mx:List will refresh all renderers even if only one item changes
because it doesn't know if another renderer might have look-ahead and also
care about the item even though its data item is some other item in the
collection.
You might be better off suppressing the setItemAt if it is the same.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] custom itemrender flicker
Hey Alex, thanks a lot for your reply. So it is *proper* behaviour that if you
setItemAt in a custom itemrenderer that the whole control is rebuilt visually?
Incidentally I am using Flex 4, so this might be of even more interest.
I have a SkinnableDataContainer with an ArrayCollection dataprovider that holds
custom objects ('reports' in this case).
If my current collection has:
1. Report #1 = Name: 1stReportName, Path: 1stReportPath
2. Report #2 = Name: 2ndReportName, Path: 2ndReportPath
And then I do a myArrayCollection.setItemAt(Report1, 0), which basically sets
the first item to the same report it currently has. The itemrenderer empties of
all items, then re-displays them, causing a flicker or flash that is noticeable
on a slow computer.
Wouldn't it make more sense for the itemrender NOT to re-build itself from
scratch on every change? What if you had 100 items and u onl;y set one item?
Thanks a lot!

It depends on how you wrote the renderer. You can try overriding the function
set data() to check for changes to the object referenced by the renderer, but
then if some sub-property changes, the renderer will not update.
Might be better to understand why it flickers when updating.

Subject: [flexcoders] custom itemrender flicker
If I have a custom item render based on an ArrayCollection with 10 times, and
just for fun, I loop through those 10 items and setItemAt the exact same values
that are already there - on screen the list of items reloads in a sense,
re-building itself to the exact same values. I would like that in such a case,
the on-screen controls know that they are the same as before and not to rebuild
themselves. Is this possible? Can I intercept some event to double check
whether they are the same or different?
The goal of course, is to have this behaviour even if one some items changed.
For example if I change only the 10th item, I would expect only the 10th item
to refresh, no the whole collection.
Thanks for any ideas!
P.S. I am not useing refresh() on the ArrayCollection is it set to auto-update.
Also, all my setItemAt calls are done in commitProperties()
