[flexcoders] Intercepting the MouseOver & MouseOut Events on DisclosureIcon of ADG

[abhishekkhandelwal2000]

Hi friends,

I seek your immediate help,
I have a Custom ADG that displays the grouped data, I would like to intercept 
the mouse over and mouse out events on the disclosureIcon of the ADG (the + and 
- icons),

Please advise how to achieve the same.

I have created a custom groupItemRenderer and have added the mouseOver/Out 
events to the disclosureIcon object in creationComplete event but still the 
eventHandlers are not getting executed.

Please Help.

Thanks in Advance.

[flexcoders] Re: Error #2170: Security sandbox violation

Hi Oleg,

Thank you for your response. I checked that SalesForce has crossdomain.xml in 
both their http and https servers. 
http://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/crossdomain.xml
http://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/crossdomain.xml
https://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/crossdomain.xml
https://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/crossdomain.xml

- 
   
   
  


Do you think the above crossdomain.xml should be here 
--http://test.salesforce.com/crossdomain.xml

I tried my swf accessed from both http and https. I still get the same error. 
Error #2170: Security sandbox violation

I gave permission for the swf file to allow access to Salesforce URL in swf 
settings > Global security settings panel. 

Thanks for your help.

[flexcoders] ComboBox fullscreen issue

[elder.mich...@rocketmail.com]

Short version: ComboBox's dropdown works and renders properly before
fullscreen, but not during or after.

I'm not totally sure how to ask this, so I've actually made a page
demonstrating the error  , with a
very simple Flex app, and all three directions you need to experience
the problem yourself.

For those of you not daring enough to follow my link above, I'll do my
best to explain here. I've built a more extensive Flex application (not
the one in the link) that has some graphs and charts and checkboxes and
other controls for those charts. At the bottom of app in a few of the
application States, there is a ComboBox. Because this is at the very
bottom, when you click it to access it's dropdown menu, Flex
thoughtfully has it come out of the top.  Yay, Flex!

This works well until Fullscreen mode. Upon entering fullscreen, I scale
everything up with a stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL. Now when
you click on the ComboBox, the dropdown is astonishingly large, and
actually drops beneath the ComboBox, causing it to mostly disappear
off-screen. The best part is, once you exit fullscreen mode, the
dropdown insists on continuing to drop below the ComboBox, which is
positioned at the bottom of the app, and so continues to be cut off.

Has anyone else run into this beast, stared into it's great maw, and
come away victorious?  Am I doing fullscreen mode wrong?  Please help!

You can get the code from the View Source from the Flash player in the
link, and thank you so much for your time.

RE: [flexcoders] Purplexing error

[Scott]

I think I found the issue... And I think it's a bug...

 

I used the FB4 function to create the base PHP class.  I then modified
the FB4 created "update" function to use an object instead of an
integer.  FB didn't re-adjust the superclasses after I made that change.
What I did to fix it was to create a whole new update function and the
error went away.

I just got done adding that in.  The result event was moved to the
CallResponder.

Re: [flexcoders] FileReference does not sending the right header in file upload

[Oleg Sivokon]

Consider adding the parameters to URL instead of pushing them into POST
request body. That is form the URL of the URLRequest however you want, so it
will look like:
domain/uploading-script?param=value&anotherParam=value
You don't have to specify Security.allowDomain() for what you are doing,
unless you need that for something else.
The warning you are getting for your crossdomain means exactly this:
crossdomain files which describe security policy for operations accomplished
through HTTP are not allowed to have "secure" attribute because this
attribute affects only the crossdomain policies for sockets (that is plain
TCP connections not restricted to HTTP protocol).
So far I can see from your code you are not adding any custom header, so,
that's definitely not the problem with it, however, FileReference is known
for not sending session cookies for example. I'm saying this just in case
you googled for FileReference related problems and bumped into someone
mentioning that - again, this is not your problem, or, at least this is not
what seems to be you problem from how you describe it.

Best.

[flexcoders] SparkDataContainer Scroller not scrolling to bottom of container

[azona26]

I am using a scroller component within a custom skin for a
SkinnableDataContainer. I am running into an issue in that the thumbbar
of the scroller stops at about the 50% point, however this is actually
the end of the scrollable area. In actuality, the thumbbar should be at
the bottom of the scroll track. Here's the code for the scroller
contained with the skin:

I should spend some time with FB4 (which is what I'm using right now)

FB3... Callresponders are a little different when it comes to this.  I
don't see any references to result event like what I had in FB3...

How does the combobox get its data? If it is using remoting, you can
wait for the resultevent to fire and then populate the listbox.

Also, you could populate the dataprovider with dummy blank data so it's
not null and then update it when the data arrives.

RE: [flexcoders] Dataprovider and events

[Scott]

It's throwing because the cbGroupSelect.selectedItem.pkGroupID doesn't
exist when it's trying to call it the list_update function...  The
combobox cbGroupSelect pulls its data from the provider first which
gives the index fields for the list object.  I'm doing creation_complete
on the list object, but the object is created before the data provider
for the combobox has filled its data.

 

Here's the dump:

Sorry, no idea.

I haven't had to add that to any applications I've built.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Spark DropDownList Custom ItemRenderer Issue

You must derive all visuals, and that means resetting the color if it doesn’t 
meet the criteria.

[flexcoders] Saving an image (snapshot) to the server

[Wally Kolcz]

I see a number of php example of how to save an image to the server, but 
can't find one using CF? I want the user to be able to save the image 
they drew/colored to their account by saving an area (I see how to do 
that) then have it saved on the server in a folder and databased. I 
can't seem to find how to tranfer the bitmapdata to a folder of my web 
server. Any  ideas?

[flexcoders] Re: Best Way To Tweet To Twitter From an Air Application

[James]

Hi Valdhor. I did finally manage to get this done. My app now has the 
capability to display a users Twitter feed and post a tweet to a twitter feed a 
long as they enteer a valid username and password.

I'm now looking for good examples of using Facebook connect to do the 
following:-

- View a user's statuses
- View all a users albums and photos
- Allow a user to post a new status to Facebook
- All a user to upload a new photo to a specific album

What I really want is to be able to do all of the above WITHOUT the user being 
taken to the 'Allow Access' window of Facebook which opens up in a new instance 
of Explorer, the reason for this being that I want my app to be entirely self 
contained or if there is no way around this I'd like to have it so the allow 
access window opens up in a html component within my application. Is this 
possible would you know?

[flexcoders] FileReference does not sending the right header in file upload

[Jesus Saad]

Hello all! I'm searching about my issue or flex `issue and I can`t found the 
error. Please, help me.
I'm trying to upload a file using the FileReference class and it work fine just 
in my computer. When I try in server, the error appears.
 Following my source code:
Init function:
private var fileRef:FileReference;
fileRef = new FileReference();
//Upload event
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeEvent);
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectEvent);
fileRef.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressEvent);
fileRef.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, Utils.handleFault);
//Upload Callback event
fileRef.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, Utils.ioErrorHandler);
fileRef.addEventListener(DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA, handleXMLFileUpload);
upload function
 var sendVars:URLVariables;
 var request:URLRequest;

 sendVars = new URLVariables();
 request = new URLRequest();

 sendVars.command = "FILE.UPLOAD";
 sendVars.tematica = tematicaId;
 sendVars.field1 = txtColunaUp01.text;
 request.data = sendVars;
 request.url = Utils.urlHost + "File";
 request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
  try{
fileRef.upload(request, "upload", true);
  }
  catch(error:Error){
  trace(error);
  }
I just using this code like all examples founded in google, but when this is in 
server it does not work because the variable upload set in fileRef.upload is 
received by server like a String and not a File.
Does anyone know what`s the problem?

PS.: Following my crossdomain.xml file and in creationComplete function I call 
these methods:
// Starting the get crossdomain file
Security.allowDomain(Utils.urlHost);
Security.loadPolicyFile(Utils.urlHost + Utils.crossDomainPolicyFile);








PS2.: In flash player log, these messages appears: 
Warning: Ignoring 'secure' attribute in policy file from 
http://127.0.0.1/crossdomain.xml.  The 'secure' attribute is only permitted in 
HTTPS and socket policy files.  See http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files

Re: [flexcoders] Utilizing HBox or VBox layouts without actually using them

In Flex 4 you can try replacing the layout of a container.

Using CollectionView is one of the choices, but I still feel uncomfortable with

The rules for itemrenderers haven’t changed that much.  You must still derive

[flexcoders] Re: Security Cameras

[luvfotography]

Hi, 
It's most likely the browser caching the image, 
are you getting the image in a normal http request? over and over again?
ex:   http://www.mysite.com/image.jpg   
if so, just add a random number (a timestamp works fine) to the end of the url
ex:   http://www.mysite.com/image.jpg?12343545
This way the browser thinks it's a different image and will reload it.

[flexcoders] Re: Adding Drag/Drop with selected text within a TextArea

[valdhor]

I don't think you need to extend any classes.

You already know what the text is in the Text Input and you already know the 
text that the user is dragging so all you need to know is where the user has 
the mouse at the current moment and where they release the mouse button. The 
first is so you can place a vertical bar inside the text to show where the drop 
should happen. The second is where they let go of the mouse and the insert 
should happen. 
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=containers_intro_5.html 
should give you an idea of how to get the mouse position. Then all you need to 
do is grab both pieces of text, merge them at the mouse position and put the 
result back in the text input.

[flexcoders] Fold empty packages when using SVN

[tntomek]

This might be more of an Eclipse/Subversive/Subclipse question but I thought 
I'd post anyways.

Is there any way to get Flash Builder to auto fold empty packages when using 
SVN? 

Eclipse is nice enough to not show the .svn subfolders but looks like that is 
independent of the part where it auto folds namespaces.

Does Subversive or Subclipse fix this?

[flexcoders] Spark DropDownList Custom ItemRenderer Issue

[azona26]

I have a Spark DropDownList that has a custom ItemRenderer. The
ItemRenderer, upon creation, checks the label text and if it matches
certain criteria, then the label text color changes. The label text
color is changing, however it is for the wrong label. What appears to be
happening is that the label color that is actually being changed is in
reverse order of how the labels are displayed in the drop down list.
For example, the list contains the text labels: One, Two, Three, Four,
and is being displayed in that exact order. I am checking for the label
"One" and then changing it's text color. What actually ends up happening
is that the text color for "Four" (first item from bottom) is actually
being changed. If I check for the text label, "Three", then the text
color for "Two" (third item from bottom) gets changed. If I check for
the label text "Four", the text color for "One" (fourth item from
bottom) gets changes. This functionality seems to hold true for each
item in the DropDownList.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue so that the correct text
color is being changed?
Thanks for the assistance.

Hi
I have a Flex3 application that is displaying images from a security

php application to get the jpg and send it to the flex app (due to  
security)


The flex app has an auto update that after the image has loaded, a  
10 sec timer runs and reloads the image. I load the image into a new  
bitmap and then swap the images.
Currently it stopped working. it seems to only show the last image,  
like a caching issue. If I call on the php app the image updates  
with every reload.  I don't see what might be causing this.


Any suggestions.

I was just looking at Tour de FLEX, and there were Effects like  
Crossfade that could switch between images, but could I make the  
images dynamic, not embedded?

I don't really understand how are you thinking to load the image in the text
area, but perhaps, for uploading an image from local disk, I can help you out
with this,

http://github.com/gabrielmontagne/avena/blob/master/src/com/rojored/net/ImageUploader.as

Which can be used like,

[flexcoders] Increase the height of Flex Container dynamically

[shrutijakhete]

Hi,

I am trying to increase the height of container with increase in the number of 
contents inside the container.
Like in my case I m using tileList and have put contents within it .When I put 
contents inside the tileList, the height of tileList does not increase 
beyond vertical height of the viewport. It puts scrollbar on the container. I 
want to increase the height of an flex container with increase in the contents 
and introduce scrollbar on the browser with increase in contents in the flex 
container.

Could anybody suggest me the way out for the same.

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Error #2170: Security sandbox violation

[jeyathilak]

Hi,

When connecting to Salesforce from Flex Builder, there is no problem. But when I
deploy the Flex app to a webserver and connect to Salesforce, it throws this
error during runtime.

Error #2170: Security sandbox violation:
http://192.168.1.113:8080/yfiles-flex/sf/salesforce.swf cannot send HTTP headers
to http://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/16.0?1000.7836196422577

I added salesforce url in the security panel of swf settings to allow connection
to http://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/16.0

I have also unchecked the https connection request in salesforce admin
interface. (so that it is a http to http connection)

Anyone had this error before and any inputs on how you solved it?

Thank you
David.

To clarify, you are talking about the Builder IDE, whereas the OP seemed to be 
just asking about the SDK (compiler), in which case, yes, they absolutely can 
exist side by side.
Even if you upgrade to Builder 4, you can still access both the v4 and v3 
SDKs, which is very important if you are (re)working older projects and want 
to be sure they come out the same as they used to.
