Re: [flexcoders] How to update styles after a registerColorNames ?

2010-02-03 Thread cyril ronseaux

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I'm working on Flex3 for the moment.
I searched quickly how to get the IStyleManager for flex3, and,... well, ...
I'll have to wait for your help :)
I tried the most naive way, StyleManager.styleDeclarationsChanged() and
since its mx_internal it won't let me.

 Hi,

 background : we are trying to simplify maintenance of CSS stylesheets by
 declaring theme colors once, and using them everywhere else. We intend to
 read a specific style declaration (e.g. getStyleDeclaration(global,
 maincolor) ), to then register color names for that color :
 StyleManager.registerColorName(maincolor,
 theColorWeJustReadFromGlobalDeclaration), and use that just-registered
 colorname everywhere we need that color in our CSS.

 For now, i'm stuck with an issue : components that use styles that
 reference my custom color, do not pick the color until I RE-load the CSS.

 I'm loading style dynamically :
 StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(url, true); // a swf containing the CSS

 On style complete :
 StyleManager.registerColorName(mycolor, 0x00FF00);

 In the CSS :
 . test {
 color: prout;
 }

 Component :
 mx:Label text=hello, i'm testing custom colors styleName=test /

 To make it works I had to add : StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(url,
 true);
 a second tome after the registerColorName :

 On style complete :
 StyleManager.registerColorName(mycolor, 0x00FF00);
 StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(url, true);


 But I wish I could do it without having to reload the stylesheet.
 I tried : this.styleChanged(null); // this is application
 and
 this.styleInitialized();


 Any idea ?

 Thanks in advance.

Re: [flexcoders] Localization problems mainly on Macs - Cannot switch to second input Language

2010-02-03 Thread Fotis Chatzinikos

Hello all i added the following in jira as a bug (#FP-3824).

If any of you have some time, can you test/reproduce and reply here? Or even
vote for the bug?


  Steps to reproduce:

1.

Compile and run the following (flex code 3.2)

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:TextInput x=224 y=191/
/mx:Application


2.

View the application in Chrome (in windows), or any browser on a Mac

3.

type something in the input box in your pre-selected language and then try
switching to a second language,
continue typing...

 Actual Results:

Text remains in the main language, or is broken (usually the first)

 Expected Results:

Users should be able to switch to their second language and type as normal

 Workaround (if any):


No work around, but i think that the problem is that flash player in
combination with some browsers (mentioned above) 'eats' the ALT-SHIFT /
change language event - i might be wrong...


Thanks,
Fotis

 Thanks Gordon,

 I will do as you suggest - I just confirmed that it happens in windows
 Chrome as well as Mac browsers.

 I just realized something else which might help you catch it ...

 In windows chrome, if i go to the windows start bar and change language
 it.. works.

 So, iti seems that some browser / flash combinations 'eat' the alt-shift
 event, so the operating system never gets the event to switch language...

 I will fill a bug report and let you know, but i am not sure if it is
 player, browser, or combination issue.

 (some minor windows browsers as well)? The language indicator some times
 switches to Greek but still all text inputs are broken. Either empty spaces

Hi Mark,

Just a short answer (from Wiki) to your question:: In fact, before they 
decided to change them name, I wondered why they were associating the name with 
Flex in the first place. 

Certain things in the following description need be corrected of course, like 
the last entry in Release History.. but anyway. Flex was there right from the 
beggining since Macromedia introduced it.

Thanks 
George

The initial release in March 2004 by Macromedia included a software development 
kit, an IDE, and a J2EE integration application known as Flex Data Services. 
Since Adobe acquired Macromedia in 2005, subsequent releases of Flex no longer 
require a license for Flex Data Services, which has become a separate product 
rebranded as LiveCycle Data Services.

[flexcoders] Re: Loading XML

2010-02-03 Thread Flex

I can think of 2 possible causes (which may or may not be true in your case)

1. Your project is not deployed on a web server and you are using HTTP to load 
the xml file...that will cause a security error even though you can load images 
by specifying source

2. The xml is on some other domain and there is no crossdomain.xml file with 
the right permissions in that domain.

 Hi everybody!
 
 I'm having trouble in changing my MenuBar menu items labels in real
 time, even when I use e4x in order to access the labels and modifiy
 them.
 The strangest thing of all is that I'm able to change submenu items'
 labels, but not the top menu items.
 
 Let me explain myself by showinf you some code:
 
 Here is the declaration of my menu, MXML-style:
 mx:MenuBar width=100% labelField=@label id=MyMenuBar
 itemClick=menuProcessor(event)
  mx:XMLList
  menuitem label = File
  submenuitem label=New/
  submenuitem label=Open/
  submenuitem label=Change Label/
  /menuitem
  /mx:XMLList
  /mx:MenuBar
 
 and here is my menu event handler function, which is located in the same
 MXML file:
 
 public function menuProcessor(event:MenuEvent):void
   {
  switch (event.label){
  case Change Label
mymenubar.dataprovider[...@label = 'file' label
 changed!;  // this won't work
event.it...@label='change label' label also changed,
 yeah!; // this will work
   break;
   }
   }
 
 Then, as I told you, the menu displays as the following:
 
 File
  'change label' also changed!
 
 when it should have displayed as the following:
 
 'file' label changed!
  'change label' also changed!
 
 Why does the submenuitem change and the top menu one dosen't??
 
 
 
 Now, here comes a funny thing... If I change the previous code by adding
 a couple of lines:
 
 public function menuProcessor(event:MenuEvent):void
   {
  switch (event.label){
  case Change Label
mymenubar.dataprovider[...@label = 'file' label
 changed!;
event.it...@label='change label' label also changed,
 yeah!;
MyMenuBar.enabled = false;
MyMenuBar.enabled = true;
   break;
   }
   }
 
 ...then everything works fine!
 
 
 
 Can anybody throw some light on this? I'm really lost, I can't begin to
 understand what's going on here!
 I guess that whenever I change the enabled property of a MenuBar it
 somehow updates the labels in the top menu items, but how can I force
 the update withouth having to change the update property??
 
 Thank you all!

Hi Paul,

Thanks for replying. I almost agree with your saying. Only let me clear one-two 
details:

To my comment : 
What's bugging me is that all my current work done for the last 2 years, has to 
be referencing as been done in a non-existing (now obsolete?) framework, that 
as time goes will have its trade name placed next to T-Rex. As I understand it, 
this marketing decision is devaluating my investment in a development platform. 
(Not my first time unfortunatelly)

You reply:
 Nobody has said the Flex framework is going anywhere.

This is true. The framework stays (for the time..) but the brand name has gone! 
Flex is no longer.

Then what I 've been developing for 2 years is Flex3 RIA with Tomcat plus 
BlazeDS, plus Hibernate persistance backend. The heavy business logic has no 
stunning images or any animations, depending on the end target group of users. 
Overviewing the end result, I am only considering scale up options, like LCDS, 
different database etc. On the other hand Flex was the choice, as the other way 
(building with AJAX or similar approaches) were out-ruled from the beggining. 
Flex was the strong point and only real option. (If swf is being played by 
Flash Player, this was not the reason I 've chosen Flex, believe me)

Now Flex is gone and though I still have a complete application on Flex3 by the 
end of 2009 (I was already not thinking about transcripting to Flex4 - excuse 
me to Flash4) I certainly don't know what to state as key advantages of the 
application. Like, it is based on an extinct brand name product? You can't 
advertise such a advantage, can you?

[flexcoders] Adobe AIR and a Java bat file

2010-02-03 Thread Wally Kolcz

I have been Googling all morning to see if it is possible for an 
installed AIR application can execute a simple bat file and it seems 
that the 'no-no' of running other apps on a user's machines is the 
overwhelming answer. I thought I would throw the idea past you experts 
and see if there is any solutions to my issue.

We have a mass uploading process that we need to do daily to upload data 
from a local system database (Oracle) to a remote CMS database though a 
java based batch uploader. I have the bat file sitting on my desktop. I 
thought a cool little project would be to have my AIR app query the 
oracle database, generate XML files on the desktop, then run the batch 
file that uploads them..putting all the steps in the process in one 
place and automate it by running it at a specific time each day.

Getting the information, generating XML documents doesn't seem to be a 
real problem. Simple web service and conversion manager class will get 
that done, its the bat file that seems to be the kink in the process.

Can an AIR app run a local bat file OR can the actual JAVA in the bat 
file be executed by the AIR app?

RE: [flexcoders] Adobe AIR and a Java bat file

[flexcoders] Re: Identifying module loaded

2010-02-03 Thread Craig



In your event handler (dispModule in your example code), event.target will 
reference the IModuleInfo returned from your getModule(...) call. Use that to 
identify the module loaded.

One additional caveat though: I'd highly recommend keeping a reference to the 
IModuleInfo returned from getModule until at least the module has loaded or 
failed to load. I've had numerous occasions where I didn't keep hold of the

Hi,

background : we are trying to simplify maintenance of CSS stylesheets by 
declaring theme colors once, and using them everywhere else. We intend to 
read a specific style declaration (e.g. getStyleDeclaration(global, 
maincolor) ), to then register color names for that color : 
StyleManager.registerColorName(maincolor, 
theColorWeJustReadFromGlobalDeclaration), and use that just-registered 
colorname everywhere we need that color in our CSS.

For now, i'm stuck with an issue : components that use styles that reference my 
custom color, do not pick the color until I RE-load the CSS.

I'm loading style dynamically :
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(url, true); // a swf containing the CSS

On style complete :
StyleManager.registerColorName(mycolor, 0x00FF00);

In the CSS :
. test {
color: prout;
}

Component :
mx:Label text=hello, i'm testing custom colors styleName=test /

To make it works I had to add : StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(url, true);
a second tome after the registerColorName :

On style complete :
StyleManager.registerColorName(mycolor, 0x00FF00);
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(url, true);


But I wish I could do it without having to reload the stylesheet.
I tried : this.styleChanged(null); // this is application
and
this.styleInitialized();


Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

It might be a good idea to take on less projects, but for a higher

 1. What was the meaning of Adobe changing the name from Flex Builder (v3) to 
 Flash Builder, while keeping the upgrade path from v3 to v4?

A better distinction between the free and commercial offerings. All
commercial IDE offerings are branded Flash something, all the free
open source stuff is branded Flex something.


 2. I used to call myself a Flex developer, i.e MXML plus AS3 programmer. 
 Should I have to call myself a Flash developer from now on?

Why would you? You wrote in another message you work with Hibernate
and BlazeDS. In those cases you identify yourself with the application
/ framework you work with. Why would you in the case of Flash/Flex
identify yourself with the IDE? You are not calling yourself Eclipse
or JBuilder developer just because that is the IDE you use for your
Java development either.


 6. Also what's the future of BlazeDS after recent marketing developments on 
 LCESDS (or is it LCDSES?)?

BlazeDS is the free, unsupported, open-source offering for fast
communication with Java backends. It will continue to be so for the
foreseeable future. Adobe will continue to develop it. Adobe will not
support it nor market it because it is not a source of revenue. LCDS
will be supported and marketed because it is a source of revenue.

Could possibly be, but any evidence to the fact has been swept under the carpet

However ModuleTitleWindow is currently ModuleTitleWindow and desn't want to

One should not target a single brand at two classes of individuals who have

Yes, Macromedia were smart. They established Flex as a high-end serious 
development system that could compete with other serious development 
systems and distanced it from flash eye-candy. Adobe have now managed to 
shift the perception of Flex from top-end to something that's used for 
eye-candy frivolity with the association with flash. We all know that's 
not true, but the larger companies looking at serious development wont 
make the distinction between Flex for serious work and flash for 
animation. I suspect it'll end up as a case study of not what to do in 
branding lectures.

[flexcoders] Encoding XML Character Entity References properly

2010-02-03 Thread pmorch

Hi,

I have a string given to me by a user. I want to create XML so I can send the 
string to the server as the value of an XML node. E.g. like this:
valuestring/value.

However, if I do it like this:

new XML(value + string + /value);

that works great until somebody gives me a string e.g.:

var string:String = a foostring/foo/;

Given string above, how do I construct an XML node with string representation 
of 
valuea lt;foogt;stringlt;/foogt;/amp;/value
?

I'm missing an xmlEscape() function so that I can do:
new XML(value + xmlEscape(string) + /value);

Or how else do I create an XML object where the special chars are encoded as 
XML character entity references?

I can pretty easily construct it myself from either regular expressions or 
split/join, but I just find it very hard to believe there isn't a pre-existing 
function for this. Whenever I find myself escaping or encoding by hand, I 
pretty much know I'm going the wrong direction, and here-be-dragons. 

E.g. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/84143
Has an incomplete (== buggy) code snippet. In that thread, htmlDecode() doesn't 
decode pound; which is a valid HTML character reference (but not a valid XML 
character reference). My point is that if we all start writing home-grown 
encoding/decoding, bugs will happen.

Is it really true that Flex doesn't provide this out of the box? Am I 
misunderstanding something? 

Thank you for reading this far!

Peter

P.S.: Please don't tell me about escape() because it URL-encodes, which is not 
the same thing. (For ab I want aamp;b, not a%26b).

[flexcoders] Bitmap with Scale9 in custom border

2010-02-03 Thread Steffen Beyer

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a custom border (based on Border) with a bitmap at 
its bottom. Only the middle part of the bitmap must be stretched (kinda 
Scale3).

As Border is based on a FlexShape, I can't add an Image as child -- and I 
can't get the solution in RectangularBorder.initBackgroundImage to work, 
either (i.e. add the child to the parent).

The current state is as follows:

protected function drawBorder(w:Number, h:Number):void
{
var g:Graphics = graphics;

var border:Bitmap = new borderImage();
// setup scale9 here
border.width = w;

g.beginBitmapFill(border.bitmapData);
g.drawRect(0, h - 19, w, 19);
g.endFill();
}

...but doesn't work, as the bitmapData is not affected by setting a 
scaling value for the Bitmap, I assume.

What would be a neat solution here?

Kind regards,

Re: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] Loading XML

All requests to load resources are HTTP requests  in Flex.flex is not the
best at returning you the exact HTTP status codes in these situations(which
will tell you the true reason for the error). Try using an HTTP traffic
monitor like

http://www.charlesproxy.com/

It will tell you exactly what causes the error. you can post the HTTP
traffic dump which we could analyze.

I believe flex 4 also has a network monitor which can be used during
development time.

[flexcoders] Error in logout from channel in Flex 4

2010-02-03 Thread prad_ch

Hi,

We are building our application on Flex 4 and LCDs 3.  The application uses 
RTMP protocol to communicate to the server. Request for application server is 
routed through Edge server sitting in DMZ. For implementing the logout 
functionality, I am invoking logout on the RTMP channel.


The problem occurs when I try to login and logout more than 2 times. For first 
two attempts of login-logout, it works as expected. But on third attempt an 
error related to invalid FlexSession is displayed on Edge Server console. No 
request is forwarded to appln. server


Following is the logout logic

public function logout() : void{

asyncConsumer.unsubscribe();

var token:AsyncToken = asyncConsumer.channelSet.logout();

asyncConsumer.disconnect();

token.addResponder(new AsyncResponder(logoutSuccessCallback, 
logoutErrorCallback));
}

 

private function logoutErrorCallback(event : FaultEvent, token : 
AsyncToken = null) : void {
mx.controls.Alert.show(Unexpected error during log out., Error);
}
   
private function logoutSuccessCallback(event : ResultEvent, token : 
AsyncToken = null):void {
mainTabNavigator.removeAll();
callLater(showLoginPrompt, [null]);
}

 
I have not been able to figure out why do I get Invalid FlexSession error third 
time ? What extra statements need to be added to clear the Flex Session 
infomation from the client.

 
Following is the error log on edge server for 3rd attempt to login after logout:

we fought this issue for some time ourselves but then I saw buzzword, an
adobe product had a workaround. Check out this link -

http://www.colettas.org/?p=294

it says -

Prototyping additional browser support: Buzzword relies on some small but
critical bits of JavaScript to support keyboard control and system clipboard
access, so we are currently limited to IE, Firefox, and Safari. You would
prototype versions of this code for other browsers.

I tried to contact the author via email, but got no response. Ultimately
had to do a lot of Javascript reverse engineering to solve this
problem.Maybe it was something they did not want to share at that time.

I would prefer Adobe to come out with a solution for this since there are a
lot of data entry apps where users would prefer the use of keyboard
shortcuts rather than letting the developers fight with it. In fact I can
contribute to a solution if required.

There was a similar issue of focus handling in firefox/flash which was fixed
in firefox 3.x .

Hello all i added the following in jira as a bug (#FP-3824).

If any of you have some time, can you test/reproduce and reply here? Or
even vote for the bug?

Steps to reproduce:

Compile and run the following (flex code 3.2)

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
mx:TextInput x=224 y=191/
/mx:Application

View the application in Chrome (in windows), or any browser on a Mac

type something in the input box in your pre-selected language and then try
switching to a second language,
continue typing...

Actual Results:

Text remains in the main language, or is broken (usually the first)

Expected Results:

Users should be able to switch to their second language and type as normal

Workaround (if any):

No work around, but i think that the problem is that flash player in
combination with some browsers (mentioned above) 'eats' the ALT-SHIFT /
change language event - i might be wrong...

Thanks,
Fotis

Thanks Gordon,

I will do as you suggest - I just confirmed that it happens in windows
Chrome as well as Mac browsers.

I just realized something else which might help you catch it ...

In windows chrome, if i go to the windows start bar and change language
it.. works.

So, iti seems that some browser / flash combinations 'eat' the alt-shift
event, so the operating system never gets the event to switch language...

I will fill a bug report and let you know, but i am not sure if it is
player, browser, or combination issue.

switch to second input Language

Any ideas why on mac browsers we can not control-shift (or whatever is
the appropriate keys combo to switch to another language) to Greek for
example (some minor windows browsers as well)? The language indicator some
times switches to Greek but still all text inputs are broken. Either empty
spaces or broken characters instead of Greek.

PS: Follows history from previously (slightly hijacked thread)

Thanks Gordon, I will open a new Thread

[flexcoders] Flex 3 can not load Flex 2 swc library

2010-02-03 Thread markflex2007

Hi,

I have a swc library file created with Flex 2.

Flex 3 application can not load the library when I copy the swc in lib folder.

I check catalog.xml in the swc.I found it has different format with Flex 3 
catalog.xml.

Do you know how to convert Flex 2 swc to Flex 3 swc?

Thanks

[flexcoders] Will Flex 4 work in Flash Player 9? @playerversion Flash 9 seems to say yes

the documented @playerversion Flash 9 annotations?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Override FileReference Class [1 Attachment]

I think I get what you mean. Mr. Flex, there are two ways to enable
filedownload from a server script in flex -
- Using a script which contains an html content in itself and thus the need
to do a navigatetourl so that it should be opened in different browser
window. In dotnet terminology an .aspx page or a php or jsp .This html page
will then open the file dialog asking the user to download the file.
- Using a script which returns a purely binary data or file content. In
dotnet terminology a .ashx page and in java a pure servlet. These scripts
dont need a navigatetourl call, since in this way we can directly open the
file browser dialog in flex. This appears to be more user friendly.

We have used the second approach quite frequently in our project and were
also stuck at how to restrict the user from  changing the file extension
since the file filter only says All files. Check attached snapshot. We could
not find one solution but those were flex 2 days. Is it still an issue in
Flex 3 /flash player 10?

You might as well go ahead and try override the class. I have some time on
had so we can collaborate. Send me a mail if interested.

 Hey thanks for the reply.

 The way I am doing it is a little different. Since we get the SAVE AS
 dialog box, the user can change the extension on the file and thats where we
 want to restrict it. In the FILE TYPE option. It should not say ALL FILES

  It can be done, but it does not have much to do with flex. The server
 side that sends the file can decide what name to give the file. So in php it
 would be something like
 
  header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=export.csv')
 
  When you do a navigateToUrl from Flex to the url for file download
 brokered by the type of code above, you will be prompted to download a file
 with name with export.csv...with your xml content. Very similar syntax in
 java and cold fusion.
