Re: [flexcoders] flex 4 datagrid crash

[Alex Harui]

Make sure you have enough memory and do the sort in a pseudo-thread, or do the 
sort on the server.  I kind of doubt the sort will get done in  60 seconds 
which is the time limit in the player.

Does changing the workspace location and recreating it help?

Do you have any source linkages in any of the projects to folders located
outside the workspace?

Re: [flexcoders] Best way to implement WebService Resend functionality?

[Peeyush Tuli]

An elegant design pattern would be to implement a request queue. All the
requests that your webservice needs to send should be put in a queue. This
queue can be a collection.Each item of this collection should have the
following properties -
-Request data
-Operation/Webmethod Name
-Function pointer to call in case of successful call(this is optional
depending upon where you process your results)
-unique identifier like an incremented counter
- flag which says response awaited
In the singleton class you can implement a timer based functionality which
will poll the queue at regular intervals and pick up the item from this
queue and call the  required operation. You can attach the unique id to an
asynctoken returned from the send operation. Once the result is received,
you can remove it from the queue. If its a fault,you can either place it
last or send it again depending on how you intend to implement it.
Hope this helps...

The token should have the Responder still attached.  I think you can probably

[flexcoders] Re: Still getting Security Sandbox violations...

[Laurence]

Ok -- I figured out #2 below... "flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint" in 
the services-config.xml file only belongs there in ColdFusion 8.  For 
ColdFusion 9 it's different: "coldfusion.flash.messaging.SecureCFAMFEndPoint"  
(Warren's message earlier said my endpoints were funky -- I'm guessing he's 
using CF8.)

So I changed it, and now I'm not getting the 404 error.

But I still want to know about the secure="false" tag.  Will setting that 
prevent my channel from being secure?  Yet setting it seems to be the only way 
I can access my data, which is very stupid if that's going to un-secure my 
channel.  I mean, what's the point?

Thanks,
L.

[flexcoders] Still getting Security Sandbox violations...

[Laurence]

Here's my crossdomain.xml file:

http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd";>




So how is it, with EVERY domain allowed, I'm getting the same old "Connection 
to https://mydomain.com/flex2gateway/secureamf halted - not permitted from 
http://mydomain.com/myappfolder/myapp.swf";?

Now, I've read some of the information on policy files...  They mentioned 
something about setting secure="false" in the  line if 
you're accessing https: data from an SWF file that was loaded with the http: 
protocol.

I have two questions about that:
1) If I set secure="false" won't that negate the whole point of using a secure 
channel in the first place?  I mean, why have a secure channel if you're going 
to set secure="false"?!  (Further, if I put my actual domain in there instead 
of "*", setting secure="false" still gives me the Security Sandbox violation 
anyway... So what's the point, really?  secure="false" doesn't seem to be what 
I want here.)

2) If I go ahead and set secure="false" and leave the domain="*", instead of 
getting the Security Sandbox violation, I'm getting a "Channel.Connect.Failed 
error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 404: url: 
'https://mydomain.com/flex2gateway/secureamf'"  So HTTP 404, that's 
file-not-found...  What file is it not finding?

Did I mention that I truly despise dealing with network security?  Especially 
when it won't work correctly.  LOL

Thanks,
L.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex doesn't appear to be using my services-config.xml file...

I was able to go into my compiler and point it to the proper place with the

Meant more for all of our 'regular' web based apps. I would think that the

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex doesn't appear to be using my services-config.xml file...

[Warren]

Hmmm 

I would first troubleshoot by going back to the original file and making sure 
the destinations are still working.  I suspect it is an problem in the 
services-config file.  

Your secure endpoint looks a little funky to me.  That may be the issue.  Mine 
looks like (in uisng Flex 3):


 
  http://{server.name}:{server.port}/flex2gateway/amf"; 
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
  
   false
   false
   
false
   
  
 
 
  https://{server.name}:{server.port}/flex2gateway/secureamf"; 
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint"/>
  
   false
   false
   
false
   
  
 


I don't think there is a flex2gateway/cfamfsecure or SecureCFAMFEndpoint


And.  

In our configurations I have no access to the web-inf so we had to fool 
builder.  We placed a copy of the services-config.xml where I could get at it.  
Then I pointed builder at it by setting a compiler argument.  In your project 
properties go to the Flex Compiler and put in something like 

-services "myfullyresolvedpath\services-config.xml" -locale en_US

Just make sure it is an exact copy.  We use the same services--config.xml on 
all our installs.  I can compile something on dev and drop the swf into prod -- 
works fine.

It may not be the best solution but it is one that works

  You say "within Flex." Where, exactly? I thought the only place

  So maybe that's my problem -- Flex is looking for servces-config.xml

RE: [flexcoders] Detecting Events in Flex

[Gordon Smith]

addEventListener() requires you to specify what kind of event you're listening 
for. However, any event dispatched by a UIComponent can be intercepted because 
UIComponent overrides dispatchEvent() to pass the event to an dispatchEventHook 
function that you can set. The static var for this hook function is mx_internal 
and therefore undocumented and subject to change or removal without warning.

[flexcoders] Best way to implement WebService Resend functionality?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I need some advices on how-to solve the issue that I am having.
On my Flex application, I have a singleton class that contains 1 WebService 
instance which serves every services.

It has been working fine but I miss-out a very important issue that I should 
have think of beforehand which is being able to resend the service again that 
was failed either due to a TimeOut or the infamous "2032"

On the web, I found an example that I think it put me on the right track:
http://flexmonkeypatches.com/flex-webservice-with-auto-repeat-and-increasing-timeout/

It's a good solution but I just need to investigate more on how-to incorporate 
this to my singleton class because:
1) On each service call, I save lots of infos on the AsyncToken such as 
resultHandler, faultHandler, etc.
2) On that example, resending the service call by doing "op.send(args)." I 
don't know yet on how-to copy over all saved infos from the previous 
service-call's token into this new one.

That's the approach that I am taking right now.
But I am open to any suggestion.

Thanks!

Looking for some suggestions.

Q. What is your actual screen resolution at the time? (I mean the one your 
system is setup for?)

2. First canvas is of height 600 and second canvas

Your screen setup in the first place is Width 800pix by Height 600pix
and in the second is Width 950pix by Height 800pix

So, what is that you think it's happening?

Thanks

George

[flexcoders] Re: Flex doesn't appear to be using my services-config.xml file...

[Laurence]

You say "within Flex."  Where, exactly?  I thought the only place 
services-config.XML was supposed to be was in the WEB-INF folder?

So maybe that's my problem -- Flex is looking for servces-config.xml somewhere 
else.  But I did a search and it doesn't appear anywhere but in WEB-INF...  So 
where should it be?

Thanks,
L.

[flexcoders] Re: A question about stage resizing

[Sunil D]

I think you're comparing apples and oranges here.

On the Flex side you're using Canvas inside a ViewStack. I don't have much 
experience w/Flash CS3, but I think it's safe to assume you're not using these 
controls on the CS3 side.

The ViewStack's dimensions will be that of the "initial active child" (per the 
docs). So when you switch to the larger Canvas, the larger Canvas knows there 
is not enough room and adds the scroll bars.

I can't say what's happening in your second case with CS3, but my guess is that 
the app is being sized to 800x600 and when you switch to the other view the 
stage or the HTML wrapper is not growing... so you need to either size the CS3 
app to 800x950 or build in some logic to add scrollbars when in the larger 
state.

That didn't seem right so I just tried this. If I right click and then

Hi George,

 i) The screen resolution was 1024 * 768 pixels.

ii)  Width is 800 pixels for both the screens. The height increases from 600
to 950 pixels.
 the 600 px screen looks fine and the 950 px screen comes cropped.

I guess I have answered your questions.
Looking for some suggestions.

[flexcoders] Detecting Events in Flex

[Nick Middleweek]

Hello,

Is it possible to put a generic listener on an Object so that a function is
fired and I can trace(event.type) from that function to see exactly what
events are being fired and in what order so I can then read about the events
to see which is appropriate for my needs?


Cheers and have a good weekend!

Nick

[flexcoders] Re: TextArea text "change" event doesn't work in all cases

[s_grollins]

We're using Flex SDK 3.2 - these event types aren't present. I also tried:

textArea.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, handler, false, 0, 
true);

This did not work either.

[flexcoders] Flex Builder build and search functions die on Vista

[Tom McNeer]

Very strange.

Vista, 32-bit. Flex Builder 3 plug-in. Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede. Flex SDKs 3.4
and 3.5.

A couple of days ago, I noticed that Flex Builder was not re-building
projects before running them. I attempted to compile using Project > Build
Project, and nothing happened. Build Automatically also had no effect.

The only way I could force a compile was by choosing Clean - each time I
needed to rebuild.

Then, yesterday, the Eclipse Search > File function seemed to stop working
when used while the Flex perspectives were active. I got 0 results on many
phrases that I know to exist. These bad results persisted, whether the
search was in the enclosing project or the entire workspace. Neither
"regular expression" nor "case sensitive" were checked, but I made sure the
case matched, anyway.

So - last night, I uninstalled Flex Builder, installed a new copy of
Eclipse, then re-installed Flex Builder within it. This morning, the first
time I chose Build Project, it worked. But now it has stopped. I can once
again only force a compile with Clean. And the search is dead again, too.

As an aside, the Search function appears works on files other than .as or
.mxml files.

Also, prior to the emergence of this problem, nothing had really changed on
the machine other than a few Windows security updates, which I have now
removed. But the problems persist.

I just reopened Flex Builder, made a minute change to a file, and clicked
"Run." It said it was building the project, but took no time to do so. So
I'm not sure it actually did. After that first attempt, once again, Build
has no effect. And the Search is dead.

Anyone have any thoughts?

[flexcoders] NetConnection.Call.Failed - Need to diagnose

[Battershall, Jeff]

I've built an AIR app using Cairngorm 2.x.  My RemoteObjects are stored in the 
ServiceLocator singleton.  Intermittently, users will get 
"NetConnection.Call.Failed". Possibly this is a performance issue with the 
ColdFusion service layer where specific calls are timing out or possibly the 
RO's connection timing out on its own. One possible approach is simply to 
re-try on error but that kinda feels like a brute force approach.

Any advice appreciated!

Q. What is your actual screen resolution at the time? (I mean the one
your system is setup for?)

2. First canvas is of height 600 and second canvas

Your screen setup in the first place is Width 800pix by Height 600pix
and in the second is Width 950pix by Height 800pix

So, what is that you think it's happening?

[flexcoders] loading transparent swf through swf REFdn3005773759

[dennis]

How to load a swf from another swf (I mean, from another AS code, not from
html code), in order to be transparent? What properties should I have in
loaded swf and how should I load it in order to be transparent? 

 

With word transparent, I mean, the color of the stage of the loaded swf must
be transparent.

Also, with this way of load, it is possible to play with "alpha" property?

[flexcoders] A question about stage resizing

[Rohit Sharma]

Hello All,

I have a question about the way stage resizing occurs in flex.

Please consider the two scenarios :-

i)   In Flash CS3, I gave my application a stage size of 800 * 950. The
application has two screens , first one being 800 * 600 and
 second one being 800 * 950. In the html file I have provided the width
and height as 100%. Now, when I move from screen 1 to screen 2,
 I am not seeing a scroll bar. The second screen comes as cropped.

ii) Whereas in Flex, I provide my application width and height as 100% and
html width and height also as 100%. I am using a viewstack whose
   height and width also is 100% and inside the viewstack I have individual
canvas for each screens. First canvas is of height 600 and second canvas
   is of height 950. In this case I am able to see scroll bars when I move
from first screen to second screen.

  I am not able to see why its not happening in CS3 whereas its happening in
Flex.
Looking for some pointers.

Thanks,
Rohit

[flexcoders] Flex doesn't appear to be using my services-config.xml file...

[Laurence]

I've added a secure channel to my services-config.xml file, yet Flex tells me 
the channel doesn't exist when I try to use it.  No Security Sandbox errors or 
anything -- just "Destination 'SecureColdFusion' either does not exist or the 
destination has no channels defined"

But it does exist, and the channel is defined:





*




https://{server.name}:{server.port}{context.root}/flex2gateway/cfamfsecure";
 class="coldfusion.flash.messaging.SecureCFAMFEndPoint"/>

false

false


false






true


remote



true

false



false

false

false




   
So why is Flex telling me this destination has no defined channels?

[flexcoders] Re: .CFC cannot be accessed remotely...

[Laurence]

Very weird...  The access was set to "public".  Don't know how that was working 
on my old server -- I didn't change any code at all...  And it worked fine on 
the old setup...  So now, I have to set the access to "remote", and it works 
fine...

Thanks a bunch!!

[flexcoders] .CFC cannot be accessed remotely...

[Laurence]

I've reinstalled everything on my server, including FlexBuilder and 
ColdFusion...

Now, when I run my app from within FlexBuilder, I get the following error 
message:
"The method 'updateLoginInfo' in component 
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\QMS\cfcs\dao\LoginDAO.cfc cannot be accessed remotely."

What does that mean?  It accesses the .CFC file when it reads the login info, 
but won't access it when it updates (writes) login info?  I really don't get 
that...

One note: I did have a problem importing the project into FlexBuilder.  It kept 
looking for a file called {CFROOT_FLEX}/wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/libs/fds.swc but 
that file (and the entire folder, for that matter) isn't on this computer 
anymore...  Is that causing the remote-access problem?  If so, where/how do I 
get my CF "web-inf/flex/libs" stuff back?  I've installed CF9, and I was 
running CF8 before, so is there something in FB3 that I have to change for it 
to realize I'm now using CF9?  Should I have installed FB3 before I installed 
CF9?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
