RE: [SPAM] [flexcoders] XMLList question

[Tracy Spratt]

I don't believe you can sort an xmllist directly.  I use a function that
takes the children of a node (XMLList), wraps it in an XMLListCollection,
sorts it, then uses setChildren() to re-assign the sorted children to the
parent.  I think I have posted that here actually.

Subject: [SPAM] [flexcoders] XMLList question

 

  

Is it possible to sort an XMLList? All the examples I can find on it create
a new XMLListCollection like this:

MyXMLListCol = new XMLListCollection(MyXMLList);

I don't think the XMLListCollection in this case has any reference to the
XMLList so sorting it would leave my XMLList unsorted, is this correct?

How can I sort the XMLList directly?

Thanks ~Mike

RE: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Access properties of SWFLoader inside repeater

[Tracy Spratt]

Always with any non-trivial repeated content, I advise creating a custom
component.  This way you can code the component normally, and expose any
properties you need, and you can debug it to find out what is wrong when it
does not work.

 

Expose the width value you want by calculating it at the appropriate time
within the component.  Note that when using SFLoader, the "complete" event
does not mean that the content is also complete.  You need to listen to the
content's ApplicationComplete event if I remember correctly.  I did a write
up on that on CFLEX.net some time ago.

Subject: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Access properties of SWFLoader inside repeater

 

  

Hello,

I had to ask this long ago, but tried to not disturb and try myself, but 
couldn't.

The case is that i have a repeater (rp_photos) with a SWFLoader inside.
In another part of the app i have a timer with this inside:

Application.application.graywidth=(rp_photos.getRepeaterItem(0) as 
Bitmap).width;

i also tried with:

Application.application.graywidth=(rp_photos.getRepeaterItem(0) as 
SWFLoader).contentWidth;

but doesn't look like i get the current size of that image. Also, i 
wanna get the current width of it, not it's original size.

from inside the SWFLoader, if i put this in an event it works:

event.currentTarget.contentWidth;

but what i need now is to get that width from outside the SWFLoader.

I will thank your help a lot, since i lost too much time on this and 
became pretty urgent :( Thank you

[flexcoders] Data Management Service, Pagination of DataGrid

[yldleung]

Hi Flexperts,

Does anyone knew whether Pagination of data supported by Data Management 
Service must be using the rtmp channel or not? If so, does that mean we must 
have two differents ports, if the application want to rely on both amf and 
rtmp? Any related doc link about that?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] SWFLoader too aliased on resize

[David Pariente]

Hi all,

I've been using SWFLoader for load images in my app with mxml. Those 
images are allways resized to a smaller size.
The problem, as everyone might have found before is that the image gets 
way too pixelated.

On my last projects that was not a big deal, but in this one quality of 
images is very important, so my client is pressing me to repair the 
pictures.

I've been checking on internet and found it's a common problem, but 
found way too complicated ways to solve it, and none was actually good 
enough (no, making the image blur solve no problem, just adds a new one).

I used to hear about turning the SWFLoader into Bitmap, but i have no 
idea how to do so. Also wouldn't want to change my picture code too much 
since i have to repair those images in  no time :(

Anyone out there can help me with it? Thank you very much in advance! :)

[flexcoders] Accessing the URLRequest object from the URLLoader?

[Nick Middleweek]

Hi,

When we use URLLoader we pass it the URLRequest object either in the
constructor or via the load method...

When the URLLoader is complete, the 'complete' function is invoked where we
can get access to the URLLoader object that has completed but I also want to
access the URL that was Requested... I would've thought there would be a
.request propery on the URLLoader but there isn't...

Has anyone got any ideas on how I can achieve this?

I was thinking about extending URLLoader and creating my own property and
then overriding the load function.

What are peoples thoughts?


Thanks,
Nick

[flexcoders] Re: How can I keep myself motivated to program in Flex? Please help. Thanks?

[danielpride]

Exercise more. Find an app thats about something you like and build it on your 
own. It keeps the interest up and its fun.
I am 57 in my third year of Flex and going strong.
I figure Flex will be the last set of tech I have to learn. Its going to 
dominate for quite a while I figure. The one thing I hate about programming is 
having to learn a whole new set of languages every decade or so.
Its like a Dr has to go to Med School every ten years. Heck they can't even 
bother to keep up, most of em anyway.

Lazy? Hey if you are into programming you ARE one of the hardest working 
suckers on the planet, cept maybe for cab drivers

[flexcoders] How to Chart This Data

[mooresm1954]

I want a line chart with a line for each row returned from a ColdFusion query. 
The data looks something like this, but the number of rows returned is user 
selectable:

Fields: Description|2007|2008|2009| 
Row1: Personnel Services||1155|1298| 
Row2: Purchased Services|1523|1423|1523| 

In this instance the Description field is the legend, the 2007, 2008, 2009 are 
the horizontal/category axis points and the numbers are the amounts to plot on 
the vertical axis. I'm just not seeing how to create a line chart with the data 
in this format. Any ideas how to do so in Flex or how to reformat that data to 
do so? Thanks.

To expand upon Tino's and David's comments: you can also find useful tutorial 
projects at www.developer.yahoo.com and on www.youtube.com .  For youtube do a 
search on 'adobe flex' .  For a public flex project you might also try 
www.sourceforge.net .  Being part of a project is an excellent learning and 
motivational tool and I speak from experience  haven't written my first 
computer program in 1968 (yes... they had computers in 1968 ).

Actually to add on what David said, attach yourself to a public flex project

Hi,

 1)Get technical support from the service provider.
2) If server log is not helpful, then enable your application log, you can
even enable blazeds logs, check if the request hits the server and routed to
the message broker.

Re: [flexcoders] libs in a lib

[Richard Rodseth]

Well, I'm developing a library which depends on other third-party libraries.
Of course, I just have a "thirdparty" directory in the source tree, and add
those swcs to the library path, but the libs directory in an application
project is certainly convenient.

In applications that use my library, I also just reference my library
project directly from application projects that use it. It was the external
library case I was referring to.

Hello Tibor,

Thanks for replying. this_initializeHandler is the handler for the
initialize event. A colleague told me to try creationComplete for the

I'm thought that on the initiialize phase of the parent component, the
children objects/components were initialized but not measured/ positioned.

But I guess I'm wrong... :)

[flexcoders] padding P element with CSS in htmlText of TextArea

[Tim Romano]

While I've been able to apply some CSS styles (e.g. fontFamily, 
fontSize, fontWeight, fontStyle, letterSpacing) to the content of  
elements and to indidivual class selectors in the htmlText of a TextArea 
in an AIR application (FB4 beta2),  attempts to 
set other styles, such as padding and margin, have not worked.  Are padding and 
margin 
not implemented? If not, will they be? 

CSS + HTML are a powerful duo. I hope Adobe has plans to exploit this 
capability fully for the TextArea in AIR applications. For many 
text-presentation purposes CSS support would be entirely adequate, and 
typographic control would offer far more precision and granularity than is 
actually needed while introducing unnecessary complexity. Not that typography 
isn't a very slick feature, but please don't let CSS+HTML fall by the wayside.

[flexcoders] Re: BrowserManager crossdomain issues

[thequakeguy]

this is a Javascript security issue with the BrowserManager.  I don't know if 
there is a fix for it.  I am hosting all files on my amazon server except the 
html so all js and swf files are in cloudfront.  I'll post something if I 
figure it out but I have a feeling it's going to be a work-around.

Re: [flexcoders] How can I keep myself motivated to program in Flex? Please help. Thanks?

[Tino Dai]

Actually to add on what David said, attach yourself to a public flex project
(look for something on code.google.com). I have always found it easier to
motivate myself in an environment where I'm expected to produce. -Tino

[flexcoders] Re: Modify Image in The assets

[Tibor]

Hi Christophe,

You can grab the image's bitmap data, modify it and then send it to the server 
as a ByteArray.


You'll need a method on the server which will save the ByteArray as an image, 
replacing the original one.


/**To grab the bitmap data once the image is loaded***/
var bmd:BitmapData;
bmd=new BitmapData(image.width,image.height);
bmd.draw(image);

//you can modify the pixels using BitmapData's setPixel and setPixel32 methods

/To get the ByteArray from the bitmap data***/
var byte_arr:ByteArray=bmd.getPixels();


Once you receive the ByteArray on the server side, you'll have to encode it in 
the appropriate image format and then save it as a file.

If you can tell me what you are using on the server side I can help point you 
in the right direction.

Hope this helps,

Tibor.

Re: [flexcoders] How can I keep myself motivated to program in Flex? Please help. Thanks?

[David Pariente]

I also wanted to become a flex developer, and i'm lazy and less motivated.
What i do is have 3 or 4 personal projects appart of the jobs. That way every 
time i work on a project i learn plenty of things that i can reuse in the other 
projects. 

So finally part of the time i program for fun, and everytime i program faster 
and better.

I was told by a professional Flex programmer that programming is hard and that 
most people have to force themselves to do it. Only a few % are nerds and are 
enjoying programming but the rest of the programmers are doing it as a job , a 
lot are mediocre which is the case in a lot of other jobs(fields) and that 90%

[flexcoders] Properties in an Dragged item

[Wally Kolcz]

I am attempting to create a online store using Flex. I added a TitleList 
for products the the users can drag and drop into a datagrid (shopping 
cart) to purchase. My problem is that I have no idea how to access the data 
in the DragSource to use to check to see if the item already exists (to 
update the quantity rather than add another one) or update the Singleton to 
use to check out. The titlelist item should include productName, img, price 
attributes in an ArrayCollection.

I see the dataForFormat method on the event.dragsource but what do I use 
for the String argument? For the product name would I try something like 
event.dragsource.dataForFormat("productName")? I tried something like that 
but my code errored out saying that it was a null attribute...but it could 
have been something else.

Does anyone know how to pull a property out of the dragged item? Examples 
or links? Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Best way to load XML file

[Jim Hayes]

You can try compressing the xml file first and decompressing it when loaded - 
I've used this to good effect and see something like a 10x reduction in the 
filesize -
This blog covers the technique

Dear All,

I have a 2 MB XML file locally and if I try to import that file using

I loaded the same file using HTTPService and It is taking significant amount of

Could some body suggest a better way to load this? ( I don't have an option of
