RE: [flexcoders] first tile of tilelist does not show up

[Alex Harui]

Have you set columnWIdth/rowHeight explicitly?  I wouldn't let the TileList 
measure the renderer and decide for itself.

Subject: [flexcoders] first tile of tilelist does not show up



I have a component which breaks up a picture into a tilelist. It works great, 
except, the first picture does not show up.

The renderer is a canvas with an image (subclasses add other images). It grabs 
the appropriate image from the parent component. (This image is dynamically 
created from a loaded image).

Here is the renderer:

override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
_data=value;
invalidateProperties();
dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));
}

[Bindable("dataChange")]
override public function get data():Object
{
return _data;
}

[Bindable("dataChange")]
public function get listData():BaseListData
{
return _listData;
}

public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
{
_listData=value;
list=listData.owner as TilePicture;
}

protected function setImage():void
{
image.source=list.imageFromRenderer(this);
}

override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, 
unscaledHeight:Number):void
{
super.updateDisplayList(this.unscaledWidth, this.unscaledHeight);
setImage();
}

Things I have tried:

1) in the parent, resetting the dp to force an update
2) forcing an update via dataChange
3) binding the image's source

These don't work. Not sure what to try next. Occasionaly and unpredictably, the 
image will update when 1) in a subclassed renderer, a second image is changed. 
But usually no amount of interaction will make the first tile appear.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: how to enable stack traceback?

[Alex Harui]

In Adobe terminology, you are running a debugger player and have or have not 
launched it in a debugger.  The main player you get from the Adobe site is a 
"release" player.  A "debug" player is internal to Adobe and there is a 
release-debug version build and a debugger-debug build that we use to track 
down nasty bugs in the player.

Only the debugger player will show the dialog when there is an unhandled 
exception.  The release player will stop the current code execution and wait 
for the next event.

Unless something recently changed, I believe if you catch an error and trace 
out getStackTrace(), the release player will not show a stacktrace as ti 
doesn't take the time to track that information.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Constraining the DragManager

No, I would go to systemManager.cursorChildren.  There should be one child and 
moving it or its child (which should be the actual cursor) should be what you 
want to do.

Re: [flexcoders] global error handling flash player 10/flex 4

Global Error Handling was introduced in the Flash Player 10.1 (which

the Flex 4 SDK yet.

Re: [flexcoders] Passing an object to a rendererProvider

[Jeffry Houser]

What component are you using? 

Most list based classes have a ListData property passed into 
itemRenderers.  You can extend ListData to contain your custom data, and 
extend the List class to use your new ListData class with new data. 
You could also pass in the relevant data as part of your itemRenderer's 
data object.

So I need to pass additional information (an object like an associative

Thoughts anyone?

PS, I did this because I'm using a summary row in an advancedDataGrid to

pass it the ID which will sort it correctly then pull the correct 
lable text
out of my object with that ID. It works perfectly like it is but does

Re: [flexcoders] Layered ListBase component

I guess I don't understand the request.

Don't most list based classes allow you to drag and drop items in them 
and then position those items where they were dropped? 

When you say depth, I'm unclear what you are referring to.

[flexcoders] Re: Issues debugging on Windows 7?

[mike_morearty]

I think you are running into this issue: 
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-22107

This was caused by a change made by Microsoft in Internet Explorer 8.  Flex 
Builder and Flash Builder launch their own instance of iexplore.exe, and when 
you click Terminate, they kill that process.  The problem is that as of IE8, 
when we launch iexplore.exe, the new iexplore.exe checks to see if there is 
already another instance of iexplore.exe.  If it finds one, it sends a message 
to the existing instance saying "open this URL," and then the new instance 
terminates.

Flex Builder doesn't know that all this stuff is happening, so it tries to 
terminate the new process, but the new process is already gone.

I have fixed this in Flash Builder 4.  The fix was to launch Internet Explorer 
with the "-noframemerging" option, which tells it to open the URL in the new 
process rather than delegating to an existing process.

If you are on Flex Builder 3, I'm not quite sure how you would be able to work 
around this, other than the way you already found.

Hope that helps.

[flexcoders] Why does flex DateTimeAxis creates duplicate months on the axis?

[kthanrahan]

I am working with a Flex DateTimeAxis. I have a scenario where the
DateTimeAxis sometimes creates duplicate months on the Axis. The month
label unit is generated based on a min/max value that is supplied to the
DateTimeAxis, it is NOT generated by the series data as far as I can
tell. In other words, the duplication does not exist within the data
supplied to the chart, but is part of automatic label generation process
that DateTimeAxis will execute when supplying a min/max value for the
axis.

I have included a simplified example of this issue below. Any help is
appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] Comparing Dates: ObjectUtil.dateCompare not working

You could use new Date(dateStr);  
However, if the date string contains hyphens it will be invalid and fail. 

 
If the hyphens in the date string are not under your control then you can
swap them out for nice valid forward slashes: 
 
var dateStr:String = "2012-11-21 11:11:00"; 
dateStr = dateStr.split("-").join("/"); 
var doomsDay:Date = new Date(dateStr);

What would you recommend to use instead of DateField.stringToDate to parse a

Date.parse does not correctly parse a date when the string is formatted as

[flexcoders] Re: how to enable stack traceback?

[valdhor]

I don't think you can. As I understand it, the production (ie. non-debug) 
player suppresses errors so users don't see them.

[flexcoders] Re: Issues debugging on Windows 7?

[brian.raymes]

I have the same problem with Windows Vista and IE 8 (fairly certain it happened 
with IE 7 as well).  Terminating or Terminate/Relaunch leaves behind an 
instance of IE... Lame!

I ended up downloading KillProcess from 
http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/processutil/processutil.htm and wrote a 
small bat file to kill all IE instances.  Placed it by my clock on the start 
bar and walla!  I now use it to kill IE in-between flex debugging sessions.

I would really like to know if anyone has a better fix, say, Eclipse actually 
terminating the browser session like it should...

[flexcoders] Wonky alignment in mx:htmlText property (Flex 3)

[droponrcll]

I think the MXML is more readable for a TextArea if you use the mx:htmlText 
property, but I found that I got a giant left indent on the first line and 
unexpected line breaks in the TextArea (with a giant indent again) when I used 
it, whether I included any markup in the property or not.  If I use the inline 
htmlText attribute, everything works fine.

Why is there a difference, and has anyone found a workaround?  I tried setting 
XML.ignoreWhitespace, XML.prettyIndent, etc., but nothing helped.

Thanks;

Amy

[flexcoders] Re: how to enable stack traceback?

[mitchgrrt]

Thanks, that was really helpful.  I'll bookmark those pages.

Now I see positively that I have the debug Flash player, but I'm still not 
seeing stack tracebacks unless I run in the debugger.  

Any ideas how to set it so I can always see a traceback if there's an unhandled 
exception?  Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: how to enable stack traceback?

[mitchgrrt]

I'm still having this problem.

On the Mac how do I tell what version of the Flash Player I'm running? 
In
About This Mac > Software > Applications
there is more than one, how do I tell which one I'm running?  The most
recent one I downloaded is this:
Flash Player:

   Version:10.0.12.36
   Last Modified:10/4/08 11:54 PM
   Kind:Universal
   Get Info String:Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r12 Copyright (c)
1996-2008 Adobe Macromedia Software LLC. All rights reserved
   Location:/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder
3/Player/mac/10/mac/Flash Player.app
It doesn't say "debug" anywhere, but I use the FlexBuilder debugger a
lot and the debugger works fine, so I'm pretty sure I'm running a debug
version.  Thanks.

[flexcoders] FB Serial number invalid

[Richard Rodseth]

My employer purchased a FlexBuilder 3 license for me to use. When I enter
the serial number in FB (plug-in version, Eclipse Ganymede, OS X Snow
Leopard) it shows a green checkmark but says the serial number is invalid.
Customer service claims the number is valid and suggests I edit
license.properties. I have several of those, mostly within SDK folders I am
no longer using.
The serial number I purchased myself and am using successfully on my
personal machine also results in an error, leading me to think there may be
a glitch in FB itself. Anyone else had problems like this?

[flexcoders] Passing an object to a rendererProvider

[InvertedSpear]

So I need to pass additional information (an object like an associative
array) to my renderer provider which is stored nicely in a component, but I
can't access any variables in my parent application from the component, only
children. As a work around, I parsed the object variable to text, put it in
an invisible  control, and parsed it back into an object in my
component.

I feel like a hack because I know this is horribly inefficient and there has
to be a better way, but I couldn't come up with one. 

Thoughts anyone?

~Mike

PS, I did this because I'm using a summary row in an advancedDataGrid to
divide it into sections, but I don't want to sort by the lable of each
section (which seems to be the default) but by an ID. My solution was to
pass it the ID which will sort it correctly then pull the correct lable text
out of my object with that ID. It works perfectly like it is but does anyone
know the "Right" way to do this?

Most e4x methods return xmllist not xml. I think the following should work :

> var n1 : XML = report.system["product-name"][0];

Found an article online reporting the dashes are a problem in E4X syntax.

interested.



However it addresses the problem of…



dg.dataProvider = xmlDataSource.data-one;



And recommends…



 dg.dataProvider = xmlDataSource["data-one"];



But in my problem, I do not explicitly state a dash in my syntax.  I expanded

RE: [flexcoders] Comparing Dates: ObjectUtil.dateCompare not working

[powers]

@Keith

What would you recommend to use instead of DateField.stringToDate to parse a
string into a date object so that it doesn't strip off the time portion? 
Date.parse does not correctly parse a date when the string is formatted as
-MM-DD HH:NN:SS.

[flexcoders] Re: first tile of tilelist does not show up

[jamesfin]

Put this code in and see if an image appears in the first slot.  If so, your 
image source logic is incorrect.

test.png is a sample image...

[Embed(source="test.png")]
[Bindable]
public static var testImage:Class;

override protected function commitProperties():void{

super.commitProperties();
image.source=testImage;

}

[flexcoders] Re: first tile of tilelist does not show up

[mattgarland2000]

Thanks, that makes sense, but it does not work here, unfortunately. I think I 
might try to defining some states for the renderer and see if using states 
takes care of this if it is some weird timing/updating issue.

Move the setImage into commitProperties and you should be good to go...


override protected function commitProperties():void{

super.commitProperties();

setImage(); 

}

Re: [flexcoders] Re: LineSeries

yeah, or if you know flash you can embed them all into an FLA or create
another SWF and just embed them all once.  That usually ends up being a
compile time thing for me though.

I have a component which breaks up a picture into a tilelist. It works great, 
except, the first picture does not show up.

The renderer is a canvas with an image (subclasses add other images). It grabs 
the appropriate image from the parent component. (This image is dynamically 
created from a loaded image). 

Here is the renderer:

override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
_data=value;
invalidateProperties();
dispatchEvent(new 
FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));
}

[Bindable("dataChange")]
override public function get data():Object
{
return _data;
}

[Bindable("dataChange")]
public function get listData():BaseListData
{
return _listData;
}

public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
{
_listData=value;
list=listData.owner as TilePicture;
}

protected function setImage():void
{
image.source=list.imageFromRenderer(this);
}

override protected function 
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
{
super.updateDisplayList(this.unscaledWidth, 
this.unscaledHeight);
setImage();
}

Things I have tried:

1) in the parent, resetting the dp to force an update
2) forcing an update via dataChange
3) binding the image's source

These don't work. Not sure what to try next. Occasionaly and unpredictably, the 
image will update when 1) in a subclassed renderer, a second image is changed. 
But usually no amount of  interaction will make the first tile appear.

I usually use a separate class for embeddedAssets; that would be referenced by 
the itemRenderer.  That way, you have a central place to manage the assets and 
you don't risk duplication.

I think the -is the issue. There is a solution for this

I

n1 = null

Any help showing me the obvious is

Re: [flexcoders] Re: LineSeries

[Jake Churchill]

I'm not sure what happens in memory but I have an application with a
PlotSeries and every time the trend switches to either positive or negative
I have to display a green or red arrow (around 10-15 times on an average
chart) and when I was monitoring it during development I was able to see
each request to the server.

You could cache the images with a Dictionary object (google cached
itemRenderers for example code).  I would suggest using the source pointed
to the server at first and if you see any lag, then you can embed the images
or try some kind of caching

 Just read your last post a little more. To add an Image control, first
 create a var:

 private var myImage:Image;

 Then in createChildren():

 override protected function createChildren():void
 {
 super.createChildren();

 if ( !myImage )
 {
 myImage = new Image();
 addChild( myImage );
 }

 }

Re: [flexcoders] Re: LineSeries

[Vivian Richard]

  Got your point - very clearly. But Every time a point is rendered, does it
mean
  that for each point all the images will be attached with the app. I mean
is there
  a possibility that these images will be duplicated?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: LineSeries

[Jake Churchill]

Yes, that is possible but you have to remember that each image you display
will be a subsequent request to the web server.  If you embed the image, you
embed it once and use it a bunch of times without subsequent requests.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: LineSeries

[Vivian Richard]

  Is it possible to do it with out embedding the image? Just
  creating am iamge and then pointing the source of the image
  to the image component. Instead Embedding all the images.

[flexcoders] quick XML question

[Pruitt, Byron S]

I have a variable named report set to an xml document.

var report : XML = 
.
var n1 : XML = report.system as XML;
var n2 : XML = report.children()[0];

n1 = null
n2 = the system node

I have accessed nodes many times like I do for n1 and not a problem with it 
evaluating to null.  I can't figure out what I am doing differently with the 
above.
Any help showing me the obvious is appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: LineSeries

[turbo_vb]

Just read your last post a little more.  To add an Image control, first create 
a var:

private var myImage:Image;

Then in createChildren():

override protected function createChildren():void
{
super.createChildren();
 
if ( !myImage )
{
myImage = new Image();
addChild( myImage );
}

}

[flexcoders] Re: LineSeries

[turbo_vb]

Ok 2 things, better to change the image in the set data method and then 
invalidateDisplayList(); because updateDisplayList gets called a lot more 
frequently than than the data changes.  And for the image, add an Image control 
to the UIComponent itemRenderer in createChildren.  (remember to setActualSize 
and position in updateDisplayList).  Then when the data changes, inspect it and 
change the source of the image to one of several embedded image classes in the 
itemRenderer.  Something like:

[Embed(source="../assets/butterfly.gif")]
public var myButterfly:Class;

[Embed(source="../assets/grassHopper.gif")]
public var myGrassHopper:Class;

public function set data(value:Object):void
{
// perform conditional logic here
// don't know your code, so psuedo
if ( butterfly )
{  
myImage.source = myButterfly;
}

if ( grasshopper )
{  
myImage.source = myGrasshopper;
}

super.invalidateDisplayList();
}

Re: [flexcoders] Re: LineSeries

[Vivian Richard]

   Thanks for the reply. I got the logic part. In updateDisplayList I get
the
   data like data.item.type = spider or bee or butterfly .

   so depending on the type I want to show the image of the insects. But
   the problem is since this itemrenderer inherits UIComponent, I cannot
   or do not know how to add an image on it.

[flexcoders] Re: LineSeries

[turbo_vb]

Thanks Vivian,
For the plot chart, you can do the same type of thing, except with more
images, with an itemRenderer.  Just like the way you can change icons,
or images, in a List itemRenderer, the same can be done with a chart. 
In the last sample, you can see how to inspect the data; to determine
which image class to display.  This next Sample
  shows how you can use an itemRenderer that
extends UIComponent.  This is a little different than creating an
itemRenderer that extends ProgrammaticSkin, as it gives you a lot more
flexibility.  Between the two samples, you might be able to come up with
a solution.  If you get stuck, please feel free to reach out. -TH

[jamesfin]

This also assumes you are trying to upload text vs. binary depending on how 
your server is configured.

This is an example that you might be able to leverage if you have binary.

[flexcoders] Both Flex 3 & 4 compatible implementation

[Julien Nicoulaud]

Hi everyone,
for the flex-iframe project (http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/), we use
Application.application to get the current URL (here:
http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/source/browse/trunk/flexiframe/src/com/google/code/flexiframe/IFrame.as?spec=svn89&r=87#252).
But this is deprecated in Flex 4, and we should use
"FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication as spark.components.Application". I really
don't want to create and maintain a Flex 4 branch only for this...

Does anyone see how to get this URL in a way that would be both Flex 3 and
Flex 4 compatible ?

Cheers,
Julien Nicoulaud

RE: [flexcoders] Comparing Dates: ObjectUtil.dateCompare not working

[Keith Reinfeld]

ObjectUtil.dateCompare() function does account for the time portion of the
supplied dates.

 

According to the scenario you describe ObjectUtil.dateCompare() function
never sees the time portion of date_A nor date_B.

 

The DateField.stringToDate() method only evaluates the -MM-DD portion of
the supplied date string and ignores/strips off the time portion of the
date.

Subject: [flexcoders] Comparing Dates: ObjectUtil.dateCompare not working

 

  


I'm writing a sort compare function to sort by date. The date format is
-MM-DD HH:NN:SS. I'm converting the dates, in a string format, to a
Date objects like so:

DateField.stringToDate(date_A '-MM-DD HH:NN:SS');
DateField.stringToDate(date_B '-MM-DD HH:NN:SS');

Then comparing the dates like this:

ObjectUtil.dateCompare(date_A, date_B)

It always returns 0 when the date portion of the two date objects are equal,
but the times are different. Does the ObjectUtil.dateCompare function not
account for the time?

[flexcoders] AIR - Ascynchronous file deletion - fixed order ?

[thedauntless_ff]

Hi,

Simple test:

private function init():void
{
var f:File = File.
applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("movie.avi");
f.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, com1);
f.deleteFileAsync();
var f2:File = 
File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("file.txt");
f2.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, com2);
f2.deleteFileAsync();
}
   
function com1(e:Event):void
{
trace("movie deleted");
}
function com2(e:Event):void
{
trace("file deleted");
}

Where 'movie.avi' is about 800mb and file.txt is an empty text file. In this 
simple test, the "movie deleted" is traced before the "file deleted". My 
question is: will this always be the case?

In general: Will multiple asynchronous commands be handles in the same order as 
they have been started?

I've spent enough hours googeling, but I couldn't find any documentation 
specific to this problem.

Thanks!

XMLList, unlike, say, XMLListCollection, is not a ListCollectionView, so it 
doesn't generate the proper events to allow anything bound to it to know that 
something has changed.

[flexcoders] Flex linkBar control - multiple lines?

[lanekelly5]

Any way to make the linkBar control wrap around to use multiple lines?  I have 
an application where the client wants two rows worth of menu items and it would 
be nice not to have to work around the convoluted logic of using two linkBar 
controls (one for each line) since the links will be built dynamically.

[flexcoders] Re: how to update a progress bar when uploading an image

[jamesfin]

There isn't a way to do this.  You can simulate a progress bar but for whatever 
reason, this functionality doesn't exist.  If you have a look at speedtest.net, 
they show download progress nicely but their upload progress is simulated.

I've thought about making another (different) request to the server to get the 
number of bytes transferred, but that's a nasty hack.  It also depends on how 
big your files that are being uploaded.  If they are all fairly large then that 
might work for you.

Perhaps someone can explain the limitations within the browser framework to 
help us understand why we can't get upload status.  Alternatively, if you are 
ambitious, go get the Firefox source Firefox and figure it out for yourself.

Anyone else have a different opinion/solution?

[flexcoders] Re: Binding not working in custom class and DataGrid using XMLListCollection

[Greg Lafrance]

Thanks for your help on this guys.

I solved it by using [Bindable] before the getter function, and dispatching a 
collectionChange event in the setter.

I was trying to use the event constant CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE in the 
dispatchEvent() method, but I should have used "collectionChange".

Re: [flexcoders] how to implement bread crumbs in flex application

[dorkie dork from dorktown]

Flex doesn't support the notion of a hyperlink in the traditional sense. If
you wanted to create breadcrumbs and you were using states and let's say, a
viewstack, then you could bind a text field to the values of the different
states and show or hide the breadcrumb depending if you were on a state or
not:








The bindings above show the value of the current state, in this example,
either, "My State" or "State 2". It could be blank if you do select either
state at startup. The second text field is either visible or invisible
depending on if the current state is view1 or a different view.
