[flexcoders] Preferred Socket Policy File Server Implementation?
I'm trying to get my Flex application to connect via socket to my server, so I need to set up a socket policy file server. It seems like there are various roll-your-own implementations floating around out there, but is there any kind of standard or best practice with what to use? Some google searches turned up nothing, so I'd be curious to hear the pros and cons of what other people have tried. As an aside, it seems strange that Adobe imposes this restriction but doesn't make something readily available to support it.

[flexcoders] roundtrip catalyst flash builder
Hi I followed the approach outlined by Ryan Stewart by creating the catalyst project, exporting it as a library project, pulling this into flex builder (it automagically creates a library project although you just select flex builder project). So all good one way in. Then i get compile errors, my fxg graphics cannot be found by the compiler. Looking at the compilation settings for my FB Library project, even if I add the assets (under the assets tab) I still get this error, the only way around it seems to be selecting the option to specify which files go into the project in the classes tab and then exporting to fxpl. Importing this resultant fxpl into Catalyst then gives me a wrong format error. Have people gotten this right? Can I see a detailed error log of why the import into catalyst has failed? Is it worth exploring compiling this fxpl from command line and then importing it into catalyst? Suggestions and approaches welcome. Johan -- j:pn \\no comment

[flexcoders] Re: Image not loading
The problem is in your Main.mxml file. You have two LoadImage components but only one is displayed (The MXML one). You need to remove the MXML component altogether and add the ActionScript component to the display list. So, Change these lines: mx:VBox width=100% height=100% view:LoadImage/ /mx:VBox to: mx:VBox width=100% height=100% id=LoadImageVBox / Then add this line: LoadImageVBox.addChild(loadImages); to the bottom of your ongallery1Click function. That should do it. This was pretty simple to find. You should probably hone your debugging skills a lot more. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, venkat eswar cooler...@... wrote: Hi, In my application images are not laoding. I have attached the code.

RE: [flexcoders] How to dynamically populate the Header Text of Flex Datagrid from XML or from an arrayCollection
You need to make it hardcoded, as you hard code the dataField for every column.
Else you need to make use of regex and apply it to the XML to make out your
nodes for the headers.
Good practice is not to pouplate it like this, instead make proper VOs and
populate them with your data XML. Your work will be more structured and then
you have control over the things you mentioned.

What you're probably experiencing (though doesn't like me referencing it is
SO vague this is just a guess) is that the default data binding Flex sets up
for you when you use {} notation does not fire when an element of an array
changes. Instead, it will only fire if the entire array changes. This is why
God invented the ArrayCollection.
You have several choices if this is, in fact, your problem:
1) Switch to an AC
2) Manually dispatch a property change event for the array that is a property
of the object.
3) Replace the entire array object with a different array object with your
desired values every time.

[flexcoders] Re: Adobe pulls Single CPU and 100-user licenses
Good to hear from you, Jeff! We are saddened too. We are quite passionate about LCDS, and always have been. We built somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 test cases for LCDS 3.0 during the most recent alpha/beta, so just in the last 6 months our investment has remained quite significant even though we're a small company without deep pockets. This was not welcome news to say the least, especially at the end of the beta process we just went through, upgrading everything. I feel like the crew of the SS Minnow! Here's what the developer of another Flex data project has said about fds.swc: [Our] data management implementation is quite different than the one in LCDS. The code and APIs from LCDS have not been ported. The reason for that is Adobe's license agreement. When you use Adobe's LCDS approach, your client code is coupled to their library (fds.swc). Even if you do not have LCDS running on the backend, but use their client-side data management library, you still owe the LCDS licensing fee to Adobe. Our attorney confirmed this and we also had a conversation with the LCDS team management about it as well. Our software uses the LCDS exclusive features quite heavily, especially for sending messages from server to client. We have an ERP system almost ready to release. If an inventory count changes, it is broadcast in case anyone is selling from an inventory search which has become stale. Price changes work the same way, as well as customer A/R balances, etc. We will be looking at how to recreate the auto sync functions and obtaining true data push (or reverse RPC). We're looking at Red5 http://code.google.com/p/red5/ for possibly adding RTMP to BlazeDS. At least if we start with BlazeDS, we can use our custom object proxies in the serialization process. Red5 has also implemented SharedObjects (between client and server) which is really neat. I will definitely read your articles. Unless Adobe hurries up and changes their LCDS licensing policies very soon, I'll be interested in working on a project which would at least integrate what is available, and build the missing pieces. Some of the client code found in fds.swc has been recreated by Farata Systems and released as open source http://sourceforge.net/projects/cleartoolkit/ . They've built change tracking/logging on the client for sending and array of ChangeObjects to the server through a RemoteObject, simulating what LCDS would pass to the sync() method... I have not looked at their OfflineDataCollection yet. I don't think they've got unsolicited data push in there, but I'm still investigating. They've also got an NIO streaming AMF channel endpoint written for BlazeDS on Servlet 3.0. Thank you for your willingness to contribute, Jeff. Let's watch this thread to see what kind of demand there is. We may need to move on it simply for our own product to be marketable. Best Regards!
[flexcoders] Re: Adobe pulls Single CPU and 100-user licenses
João, would you (and others) mind heading over to Anil Channappa's blog post http://anilchannappa.org/2009/11/20/lcds-3-0-released/ about this to voice your concern? There's a long string of comments which are calling for lower pricing so LCDS can be successful. We are very passionate about this product, and want to see it available for everyone. I think it's essential they know we're out here. Thank you.
[flexcoders] Re: Adobe pulls Single CPU and 100-user licenses
Hi Tom, in the same vein, Adobe downgraded ColdFusion 9 to include BlazeDS instead of LCDS. Dunno about price, but have you looked at ColdFusion? Comes with LCDS and a bunch of other stuff.

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid itemrenderer for adding multiple linkbuttons in same gridcolumn
I have put aside the thoughts of making fancy hyperlinks, now I am just trying
to understand events in the itemrenderer. I am ashamed to say that even after
searching this subject in the forum and googling it, I still find myself
struggling.
I ended up trying a LinkBar as Tino suggested
in the itemrenderer:
else if (column.dataField == monitorlocations){
var linksArray:Array = String((data[monitorlocations])).split(\n);
var linkbarItemRendererFactory:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(LinkBar);
linkbarItemRendererFactory.properties = {dataProvider:linksArray,
direction:vertical,enabled:true };
column.itemRenderer = linkbarItemRendererFactory;
column.setStyle(verticalGap,5);
column.addEventListener(ItemClickEvent.ITEM_CLICK, linkBarEventHandler);
Problem is that it seems like the click event on the button on the linkbar
never makes it to the linkBarEventHandler which is a function inside this
itemrenderer. I would at least think that this event would fire but setting a
breakpoint in this eventhandler fuction, I can tell it never makes it there.
The datagrid itemclick event doesn't even get called like it does in the other
columns, which I think is a good indication that I can bubble up the linkbar
clickItem event, I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong or even how to
capture in a debug session what happens on that click event.
One post I read says :
Re: [flexcoders] Listem to an event sent by a DataGrid ItemRenderer
In your item renderer, if you have control over the TimerEvent creation, set
the bubbles parameter to true. If you do not, you may want to catch the
event in the renderer and re-dispatch a new one with bubbles set to true.Â
This will allow your event to bubble out, up the parental chain until it
reaches your application. Then all you need to do is register for the event
at the Application level.
Can I set the bubbles property to true somehow using the ItemRendererFactory
approach I have above? If I can't, theoretically I can dispatch the event from
the eventhandler (if I could get it to fire) and then listen for it in the file
that my datagrid is created in.
Alternative to bubbling up an event, maybe somehow I can add an eventlistener
that calls a function using owner.document.myFunction?

have several link buttons in one row's cell. Do I do nothing on the

take over? Haven't tried anything yet, just thinking about how to approach
it.

If the linkBarEventHandler is a function inside the item renderer, I would
expect you to get a compile error, since the function would be defined in a
scope that the parent does not have access to, especially since when the
factory is defined, no instances of it exist.
If you want to have an event handler in the itemRenderer, attach the event
listener inside the item renderer, either in MXML or in AS.
The itemClick event of NavBar does not bubble, so the only place you can listen
for it is inside the itemRenderer. This is a separate and distinct event from
the ListBase itemClick, which will give you information about the entire object
that is represented in the DataGrid row. You could potentially catch the
NavBar itemClick in your renderer and create your own bubbling event that
describes what happened. You could also just listen for a mouse click anywhere
on the DataGrid and check the target property to see if the LinkBar is in some
way a parent of whatever was clicked.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Custom ComboBox Class issue
After digging around some, I found the defaults.css file. I guess I could copy it into an assets folder and correct it for my class. Then I'd have to figure out how to invoke it in the constructor. Problem is I still don't know if I'm missing defaults on the properties too. I guess any inherited ones would come in through the comboboxbase and that the combobox getters/setters I copied in would be sufficient. I'm starting to wonder if keeping the ComboBox name in the custom class is not such a bad idea. Things are getting complicated. Or just change the private functions in the ComboBox.as sdk to protected so I can just extend the combobox and override the few functions I need. I just hate messing with the sdk. - Original Message - From: Amy To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 6:37 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Custom ComboBox Class issue --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Warren warrenony...@... wrote: I found what is causing the problem. ComboBoxSuper failed to work when the arrowButtonWidth wasn't set in the mxml. I never set it in my custom class because it seemed to be there already. There must be some default parameters that the mx:ComboBox pulls in and that my ComboBox version was inheriting without me knowing about it. ComboBoxSuper didn't inherit these values and fails silently. Sigh. I've fought my way through the debugger and it is way beyond me. Something is setting the default styles and parameters for a combobox but I can't figure out where it is or how to force my ComboBoxSuper to pick them up. I hate relying on using the same class name... I'm reluctant to create an arrowButtonStyle in the ComboBoxSuper constructor -- that may fix that problem but I don't know what other defaults I'm missing because I can't extend the ComboBox. Anyone have a suggestion? I think it's called globals.css. HTH; Amy

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adobe pulls Single CPU and 100-user licenses
That statement about fds.swc certainly was true before, but the DataService apis are used to power the rpc based data tools in the new Flex Builder. In the beta at least, it was the exact same file shipped in LCDS as in FB, so presumably use of that file would be covered by the FB4 license. There's a public adapter interface in the code in which you can translate messages into whatever operation on the client. It is used as the hinge point that switches between client DMS in FB4 and LCDS. That would be the easiest way probably to hook into Granite - just use their client apis to emulate the LCDS behavior right there in a new extension of RPCDataServiceAdapter. Alternatively, you could override DataServiceAdapter's invoke method and translate them directly into granite's AS library calls. With BlazeDS on the backend, you can use the standard DataServiceAdapter which sends those DataMessages to a new DataService on the server. There you would need some Java code to replace that DataService.java's serviceMessage (I think). It would translate those messages into the Assembler calls, then get the response and translate that data back into DataMessages. The hardest one is the batch message used for updates. It essentially means decoding a series of messages and making repeated calls to createItem, updateItem, etc. Even that is easy until you start to factor in associations. That requires some subtle logic for turning the ids into instances to preserve instance integrity but LCDS was not the first place I used those algorithms :) I think you also could get manual sync working using BlazeDS since the DataService just uses a normal Consumer for implementing that. Hopefully if the new DataService extends MessagingService that would just work but there is probably some tweaking needed there. I have a feeling the farata folks might have some of these pieces already so maybe we can just contribute to that project? FB4 also contains the core Java modeling code, used to generate those service wrapper classes on the client. FB4 does not contain the tools to generate those models other than against simple RPC backends. If the dev license for LCDS really is free though, I wonder if you could use it to generate models that you deploy on other servers? If so, with a bit more work you could write a model adapter which generates JPA code. Not too hard if you do not mind a web-app restart for model changes. To me Adobe should be a tools company... giving the tools away for free seems like a bad strategy.

We built somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 test cases for LCDS 3.0 during the most recent alpha/beta, so just in the last 6 months our investment has remained quite significant even though we're a small company without deep pockets. This was not welcome news to say the least, especially at the end of the beta process we just went through, upgrading everything. I feel like the crew of the SS Minnow! Here's what the developer of another Flex data project has said about fds.swc: [Our] data management implementation is quite different than the one in LCDS. The code and APIs from LCDS have not been ported. The reason for that is Adobe's license agreement. When you use Adobe's LCDS approach, your client code is coupled to their library (fds.swc). Even if you do not have LCDS running on the backend, but use their client-side data management library, you still owe the LCDS licensing fee to Adobe. Our attorney confirmed this and we also had a conversation with the LCDS team management about it as well. Our software uses the LCDS exclusive features quite heavily, especially for sending messages from server to client. We have an ERP system almost ready to release. If an inventory count changes, it is broadcast in case anyone is selling from an inventory search which has become stale. Price changes work the same way, as well as customer A/R balances, etc. We will be looking at how to recreate the auto sync functions and obtaining true data push (or reverse RPC). We're looking at Red5http://code.google.com/p/red5/ for possibly adding RTMP to BlazeDS. At least if we start with BlazeDS, we can use our custom object proxies in the serialization process. Red5 has also implemented SharedObjects (between client and server) which is really neat. I will definitely read your articles. Unless Adobe hurries up and changes their LCDS licensing policies very soon, I'll be interested in working on a project which would at least integrate what is available, and build the missing pieces. Some of the client code found in fds.swc has been recreated by Farata Systems and released as open sourcehttp://sourceforge.net/projects/cleartoolkit/. They've built change tracking/logging on the client for sending

How do i create those list items to have the flv file attributes and

[flexcoders] TabNavigator switches to second tab when revealed after a currentState change
I've run into a funny problem in a registration application I'm working on. The base state for this application is a TabNavigator with three Canvas subelements. On its own, this works fine. When the application loads, I switch away from the base state to a screen to let the user login/get their password emailed/add a new registration. If they want to add a new registration, currentState is set back to to return to the base state - the full data entry form. The funny part is that when the state changes, the selectedIndex of the TabNavigator switches from 0 to 1. I've stepped through in the debugger and before this line the (hidden) TabNavigator has an index of 0. this.currentState = ; // Base state has input form After this line, the TabNavigator has an index of 1. If I explicitly reset the selectedIndex back to 0, the TabNavigator is drawn with elements from the first two pages drawn on top of each other. I can see that the Canvas for index 0 is drawn and the Canvas for index 1 is drawn on top of that. I've tried using a ViewStack instead of TabNavigator but, as you would expect, it makes no difference. I've been going around in circles for some time here without any progress - is this problem ringing a bell? I didn't find anything like it in the archives. I've tried with the 3.2 and 3.5 SDKs but the behavior is the same in both cases. I could skip the TabNavigator completely and do everything with ViewStates but, honestly, I'd rather not. I find it simpler to work with the TabNavigator in the visual designer. Then again, if it isn't going to work right it's not really eaiser any more. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Tracy, Thanks very much for responding - I always read your postings with attention. In my case are you suggesting I put everything into a ViewStack and not use states? So, I'd have something like ViewStack 0 - My landing screen with the login/send password/add registration 1 - 2 -3 My registration details Am I right in thinking that I could use a TabBar to make ViewStack 1, 2 3 look and act like a TabNavigator? Thanks for the help!
