[flexcoders] Possible to cancel a tooltip event?

[G]

I am trying to cancel a tooltip event (I only want it to display when the mouse 
is hovered over a certain area), and can't seem to figure it out. I tried 
stopPropagation, preventDefault, and stopImmediatePropagation, but none of them 
seem to work.

Here the code I am using:

private function toolTipCreateHandler(event:ToolTipEvent):void {
if(event.currentTarget.mouseX < 130) {
var tooltip:PhotoToolTip = new PhotoToolTip();
tooltip.src = event.currentTarget.toolTip;
event.toolTip = tooltip;
}
else {
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
}   

Any ideas?

Thanks

[flexcoders] Listen for chage to displayObject's transform property?

[rdm0004]

Is there are way to listen for changes to a display object's transform 
property?  Specifically we have an app that applies a matrix to a top 
container's transform property.  The scale is inherited down to the child 
containers.  

I need to know when the child scales.  The requirement is that I can only 
listen to the child, not the top container, but I do not know what to listen 
for.

[flexcoders] FB3/Eclipse - CSS design view not showing images

[John Robinson]

Anyone encounter this? I'm using Eclipse with the Flex Builder 3  
plugin. I'm trying to skin a horizontal scrollbar with some images. I  
just discovered the CSS design view/editor and  thought it was exactly  
what I need. The problem is that I choose my images and hit refresh,  
but they don't show up. It displays the little blue icon all stretched  
out (like a missing image icon).

Anyone?

Thanks!
John

[flexcoders] Is it possible to inspect a function (to determine it's and parameters)?

[kidl33t]

I have a method which takes a function as one of its parameters.  Is there any 
way to inspect this function and determine what parameters it takes? 

I have tried both getClassInfo()and describeType().  describeType does in fact 
return that information I need if the class passed to it has a public method.  
But I can't figure out how to inspect a function that isn't attached to a 
class.  

Thanks,

Srinivas, thanks for your reply

The example code in the docs is on the setter only, however, for me, this also 
generates a compiler warning at the line of the setter.

I know I can add a line series, which is what I'm using at the moment.  The

Hi All

to use context menu and use it to make new tab in browser im use this sample:
private function B(evt:ContextMenuEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com";),"_blank");
}

and for the function in context menu, im use this sample:

private function A(evt:ContextMenuEvent):void {
app().goToNodePage();
}

I have tried your tip with the first label. The label is placed correctly (I 
traced its x and y values) but it's not showing up. The updated class:

package com
{
import mx.controls.Label;
import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;

public class CustomLabelRenderer extends UIComponent implements 
IDataRenderer
{
private var _data:Object;
private var _labelYear:Label;

public function CustomLabelRenderer() 
{
super();
}

[Bindable("dataChange")]

public function get data():Object 
{
return _data;
}

override protected function createChildren():void
{ 
super.createChildren();

_labelYear = new Label();

addChild(_labelYear);
}

public function set data(value:Object):void 
{
_data = value;

dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));

if(value != null) 
{
_labelYear.text = String(value.text);
}
}
}
}

I did a little Googling for you:

Depending on what you are building, the Presentation Model pattern may be
overkill, but it's worth knowing about.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: With the latest eula agreement from Apple

[Fotis Chatzinikos]

What about reversing the arm byte code to objective-c? I assume the
difficult part was to convert actionscript's virtual machine bytes to arm
bytecode...

RE: [flexcoders] Re: With the latest eula agreement from Apple

[Gregor Kiddie]

That amounts to open sourcing the player, as anyone could take a look at
the XCode project (or reverse engineer the player from it), which is a
no-no from Adobe's perspective. Turning the player into ARM code was
about the only way they could get round the licensing problems
associated with the player.

 

Gk.

Yes, I know that.

What I was suggesting is that Adobe change the output from ARM code to
to an XCode project. Wouldn't that get around the new Apple agreement?

I think your renderer should extend a uicomponent by adding to labels
components within.

Re: [flexcoders] Assigning a byteArray to an Image source

[Amanda Machutta]

LOL! Nevermind. I figured out what the issue was. I was using coldfusion on
the backend, and when loading the byteArray into my model Object prior to
passing it back to Flex, I was using the ToString(*).getBytes() to grab a
byte array. Somehow this was causing issues. Removing that and just keeping
directly what is pulled from the database relieved me of my issues.

Thanks for your input Alex. Your response caused me to take a closer look at
what was happening prior to loading into Flex since it was obvious it should
just work on the flex end of things.

Yes this is what I assumed as well, but even after verifying the position of
0, its still loading a broken image icon.

Try this:

function creationComplete(e:FlexEvent):void {
_spendingAccount = new AccountView();
_spendingAccount.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE, 
initSpendingAccount);
}


function initSpendingAccount(e:FlexEvent):void {
_spendingAccount.moneyAccount.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection();
_spendingAccount.creditAccount.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection();
}

Or, you could just properly encapsulate AccountView and let it set properties 
on its own children in commitProperties().

It's meant to Just Work.

As it is, I think it's down to the labelFunction.

Take this block of code-two identical DataGrid of the same dataProvider. 
Top one has labelFunction (using currencyFormater to clamp price to 2dp),  
bottom one not.
Entering "5" in price col of bottom one, OK. 
Enter same in different price cell in top one, click outside DG, is OK. 
Click back on price, is now 50.

I think so too.
Why isn't it going to the underlying dataProvider element ?!? Can you not mix 
labelFunction and itemEditor ? In which case I'll need to replace the 
labelFunction with an itemRenderer I suppose...

RE: [flexcoders] NumericStepper as itemRenders in DataGrid don't work as expected

[Gregor Kiddie]

Playing with this... it's the formatter that's screwing things up. The
NumericStepper uses the label for the cell and tries to parse it as a
float. The dollar sign immediately makes it terminate with a NaN which
the NumericStepper makes a 0 (It really should report it a NaN).

 

Gk.

Really? Didn't expect that one. I never use inline renderers if I can
help it! I suspect it'll need to be value={parent.data} or maybe
owner.data ... again, I hate inline renderers.

>If I take out the mx:Component lines, it fails to compile because

>for it ?

Yeah, the itemEditor property takes an IFactory.  The main reason for
setting it in actionscript like that is so you can set the
initialization properties (max, min, etc). It defaults to new
ClassFactory( mx.controls.TextInput).

 

Gk.

If I take out the mx:Component lines, it fails to compile because 
NumericStepper is not an Factory, is that why you suggest creating a Factory 
for it ?

I tried a few variants of putting the Factory in directly, but they all had 
the same issue.

No. That's not how the system works, it outputs direct to ARM machine code.

RE: [flexcoders] NumericStepper as itemRenders in DataGrid don't work as expected

[Gregor Kiddie]

You need value binding to the data property

 





or... set the itemEditor of the datagrid to be a class factory which generates 
NumericSteppers with the factory’s properties set up.

 

Something like (off top of head, so probably won’t compile)

 

private function creationCompleteHandler() : void {

var itemFactory : ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(NumericStepper);

itemFactory.properties = {maximum:, minimum:0, setpSize:0.01};

dgc.itemEditor = itemFactory;  

}

 

When the Stepper is used directly, rather than being wrapped in a mx:Component, 
it picks it up directly as the set data(...) is being called on the 
NumericStepper and not the wrapper component.

 

Gk.

[flexcoders] Update facebook status from flex - Examples?

[James]

I'm trying to make an air app that allows users to update their facebook status 
from within the app as well as view all of their current stuses within my app 
too. I'm using the regular facebook api but can't find many examples on how to 
do this. Does anyone know of any similar examples to what I want or places 
where I might find something smilar which may point me in the right direction?

[flexcoders] NumericStepper as itemRenders in DataGrid don't work as expected

[Tom Chiverton]

This simple DataGrid doesn't appear to work right. 

Click one of the rows, and the value in the NumericStepper is zero, when I 
would expect it to pick up the value from the data provider.

Code (ignore all the script and outputs, just compile and run):

[flexcoders] Re: Property values based on Multiple Conditions

[Doug]

Awesome stuff guys!!

The & thing didn't work for me when I tried that... I thought just maybe, 
but nah.  This was part of the source of my question, "How do you do a logical 
AND?"

The function method that Richard posted is something I am going to try as I 
think that's exactly what I'm looking for.  I would like to avoid setting up an 
event listener, but if that's the only way...

Thanks again for the help thus far... if anybody has anything else, please let 
me know!

Re: [flexcoders] Installation of Flex Builder 3 plugin on Eclipse 3.5

[sachindev tripathi]

Hi,
I could not understood its logic behind changing the name to Flash builder 4. 
Some one says that it is for making difference between open source Flex SDK 4 
and Flex Builder 4( not open source,License needed).

Any one could please update my knowledge?

Thanks

  Hi Sneha,

For First question, You want all of those in one place, then it is suggested to 
have it installed.
For second question, Go to adobe.com and download latest version. I believe 
Flex 3 Builder is discontinued to download from the site, you could always 
download the latest version that is Flex 4 [also know as Flash Builder 4]  use 
Flex 3.5 SDK while building the project. If you already have the Eclipse  other 
plugins installed and want the Flex Builder Plugin to install on top of it, 
it's easy, the installer will guide you through steps  u will be able to set it 
up perfectly.

[flexcoders] Re: Charts - complex label

[pullzmag]

The first one is the default one. The second one is retrieved from an array. So 
I have no problem with retrieving their values but having displayed the second 
one. I have been using the below class, assigned as labelRenderer

package com
{
import mx.charts.AxisLabel;
import mx.controls.Label;
import mx.core.IDataRenderer;

public class CustomLabelRenderer extends Label implements IDataRenderer
{
private var _data:AxisLabel;

public function CustomLabelRenderer() 
{
super();
}

override public function get data():Object
{
return _data;
} 

override public function set data(value:Object):void 
{
if(value != null) 
{
this._data = value as AxisLabel;
this.text = String(value.text);
}
}
}
}

Basically, the above class does nothing special. It just displays the same 
label as in case where no labelRenderer is defined. I was trying to add to this 
class another label for storing the second value but that label was not 
displayed at all (whether by adding as a child to the first label or to the 
axis renderer).

[flexcoders] Problems with crossdomain and upload

[sderamon]

Hello,

I want to upload files from one server to another one. For example, I heave the 
.swf file in the 192.168.1.5 and I want to select files from the web page and 
upload to 10.234.195.160 using filerefence.

I think is a problem with a crossdomain, but I don't know how I can solve it. I 
have read information about crossdomain.xml. Where I need to save the 
crossdomain.xml? In the destination server we don't have any web page, is only 
for upload. Which modification I need to make in the flex document for read the 
crossdomain document? Is mandatory use a crossdomain file?

Thanks for your help
