Re: [flexcoders] Re: Canvas and SimpleButton

[Alex Harui]

Many folks have been quite successful with Flex UIComponent and Button instead 
of Shape and SimpleButton.  You’d have to have tons of them to really suffer 
from the difference.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom ItemRenderer still not working...

[wrhinfl]

IF the CF returns a query, it should be an ArrayCollection in AS.  If you are 
passing a CF Array it will be an Array in AS.  At least according to Flex 3 
Bible:
CF AS
String String
Array  Array
Query  ArrayCollection
Struct Object
CFC instance   Strongly type value object
Date   Date
NumericNumber
XML Object XML Object

Is your CFC currently returning an Array?  And can you change it to return a 
Query?

The more I work with this product, the more I'm convinced that it is a very

issues 
with fragments of code not getting linked in all the time, having to perform a 
clean every few changes of code ,which itself takes forever if there is more

[flexcoders] Custom GridLines

Hello!

I'm trying to make a chart (in Flex 3). I only want to show two horizontal gird 
lines instead of all the lines the chart displays. Is there any way to do that? 
I have already try with "horizontalChangeCount" but it doesn't work ok.

(Sorry about my English...)
Thanks in advance!

RE: [flexcoders] Is there a way to enumerate all of the available styles in CSSStyleDeclaration?

[Gordon Smith]

[Bindable] metdata gets retained, and so should appear in describeType()'s 
output, but [Style], [Event], and [Effect] do not. You could, however, 
recompile the framework to keep them. Look at the  tags in 
the Ant build.xml file for frameworks/projects/framework, for example.

However, the above does not work since subclasses of CSSStyleDeclaration,

[flexcoders] Re: Custom ItemRenderer still not working...

[Laurence]

Well, I installed FlashBuilder 4 Premium Beta 2, imported the project into 
there, and ran the code.

It is EXACTLY THE SAME in FB3 and FB4 -- the exact same problem appears.  I 
scroll down in the DataGrid, and the numbers in the ItemRenderer's drop down 
change (but not the selected number being displayed.)  If I select one of the 
incorrect numbers, the drop-down immedately changes to the correct numbers, and 
the number I would've selected (had it been displayed correctly) shows as the 
selected item in the combo box.  It's just SO WEIRD!

So...  What is that problem, exactly?  Anyone able to figure it out?  I'm 
totally confused...  It should be working!  (See my earlier post for the code 
-- I beg you, PLEASE help me figure this out!)

[flexcoders] Re: Custom ItemRenderer still not working...

[Laurence]

Well, hmmm...  I can't rewrite it so data.course_fees is an ArrayCollection -- 
when I change the 'EventVO.as' such that course_fees is an ArrayCollection 
instead of an Array, it comes back from the database as null...  Perhaps that's 
a problem with my CF code (EventVO.cfc and EventDAO.cfc)?  How do you get CF to 
send data back as an ArrayCollection instead of an Array?  I'm thinking that's 
not possible...

If I leave the EventVO.as alone, and course_fees is an Array, then I still have 
the same problem in my ItemRenderer -- doesn't seem to matter if I make 
listOfFees an Array or ArrayCollection...

I will try that if the Array vs. ArrayCollection idea doesn't pan out...  Hate 
to go through all the trouble of installing Flex 4 Beta just for this, 
though...  Or can I just install the 4.0 SDK in my existing FlexBuilder Pro?

Hmmm...  That's an idea...  data.course_fees is coming out of the database as

[flexcoders] fullscreen video issue

[m_koks]

Hi All,

In my application I have a video display component placed at 100,100 with 
height n width as 400,300.

I wanted to fullscreen the video on click of a button. So I wrote the following 
code.

var p:Point=videoDisplayComp.localToGlobal(new Point(0,0));
this.stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle (p.x, p.y, 
videoDisplayComp.width, videoDisplayComp.height);
this.stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

I was expecting that the complete screen will be occupied by the video (like 
youTube fullscreen video).
But in actual, it was zooming the application but it was not occupying the 
whole screen. instead a square of 400,300 is visible on the screen with 
SCROLLBARS to it. I can scroll and view the complete application in the 
viewable area. In other words, the viewable area on the screen is only of the 
size specified above with scrollbars. Rest of the screen is grayed out.

Any idea, what could be the problem?

Thanks

[valdhor]

Try this:

private function htmlEscape(str:String):String

 return XML(new XMLNode(XMLNodeType.TEXT_NODE, str)).toXMLString();
}

It uses the legacy ActionScript 2 object. I don't know how long this

4).

[Pradeep Chaudhary]

Has anybody ran into similar behavior ? I am still not able to resolve it.

Please help.

I can't seem to find it in the docs or source. Anyone know if it supports comma 
delimited lists of states?

Re: [flexcoders] Encoding XML Character Entity References *properly*

[Peter Valdemar Mørch]

Hi, I didn't get any replies, so here is a polite bump...

My question is basically this: How do I create an XML node with a
toXMLString() value of:

a string/&

from a value of

var value:String = "a string/&";

Is this really something one is expected to code by hand using RegExp
or split&join? Isn't this something everybody who needs to send /
recieve XML needs to be safe? I just can't find it anywhere.

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

Sorry if this offended anyone. I didn't mean to be rude.

[flexcoders] showDataEffect bug?

[pullzmag]

I have line and column charts with dynamically added series. Each time I select 
the data the charts are correctly updated but on every third selection the 
showDataEffect effect is not triggered. Do you have a clue why?

That would not be a problem. The point is, scaling is not applied at all.

>> border.width = w;

...has no effect!

Kind regards,

[flexcoders] Re: Custom ItemRenderer still not working...

[wrhinfl]

I thought array does not broadcast updates "nicely" (uniformly/as expected), 
can you change the declaration of listOfFees from:
[Bindable]private var listOfFees:Array;
to:[Bindable]private var listOfFees:ArrayCollection;

[flexcoders] Re: Assigning arrays...

[creativepragmatic]

I think using com.adobe.utils.ArrayUtil in as3corelib might also work.

[flexcoders] Re: auto close popups

[markdemich]

I'm not sure that you need to worry about the FocusManager given you want it to 
go away on a click.

One way I would handle it would be to add an event listener to the stage and 
listen for MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN.  Check the target and if the target is not 
anything in your popup, then close the popup.  You can use the "contains" 
method for this.

You may also consider adding a small close button to your popup just in case 
the user doesn't realize they just have to click somewhere else to hide it.

Remember to remove the event listener when you're done.

[flexcoders] Eclipse IDE and Windows 7

[Nick Middleweek]

Hi guys,

Sorry for the off-topic question but I've moved over from Flex Builder to
Eclipse with the FB plugin. A work friend suggesting working this way as
Eclipse is better and I've noticed I now have brace matching like I used to
have in Aptana :-)

We have also installed WDT, SVN and a few other bits.

I'm currently running Windows Vista Business and every now and again I'm
getting an error when opening a WSDL document. Eventually it resolves itself
but it just seems a bit flakey.


What are other peoples experiences and is it worth upgrading to Windows 7?

I don't have the cash for Mac :)


Cheers,
nick
