Re: [flexcoders] MSSQL date field error: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert 2008-03-19 00:00:00.0 to Date.
Nevermind. I found the DateFriend Class has a stringToDate function that worked like a charm.

Hey guys.
Say your familiar with Flash document Class. Flash Develop or Flex
actionscript projects in that your not so familiar with MXML.
You take this class
package
{
public class MyGraphic extends Sprite
{
private var customSprite:Sprite;
public function MyGraphic()
{
super();
}
}
}
Ok heres the issue. If i start a new Flex Project because i want to combine
either an existing complex project or branch my application out to pure AS3
yet i want to retain the functionality of MXML for a form or a games room
etc.
How can i do this?
I remember last time i tried it was awkward. MyGraphic needed to extend
UIComponent but then it got awkward because customSprite needed to also be a
UIComponent so i never found a way to combine them. Likewise, i read about a
rather obscure addRawChild() method but it seemed like a hack or frowned
apon.
That has something to do with the display list?
Is there any sources which i can read that deal with AS3 OOP TO Flex MXML

instead of treating you like you dont know what actionscript 3.0 is and
concentrating on MXML only? I cannot find the relationship or common
functionality between the 2 different approaches. If i go with MXML im stuck
in modular tags with supporting actionscript, or if go with only AS3 i
have no access to the framework.
Cheers.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm/ Command/ AdvancedDataGrid.expandChildrenOf() ?
Hi, I'm working on a cairngorm flex app and have been told to put all business logic inside the CG Command. At the end of the CG Command, I need to get the ADG to expand it's grouping nodes for a particular node. What is the correct way of solving this problem because from my Command, I can't 'see' the view. Should I update the model from the Command and have a ChangeWatcher on the view to run the AdvancedDataGrid.expandChildrenOf() code? Is there a right and wrong way of solving this? Thanks, Nick
Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm/ Command/ AdvancedDataGrid.expandChildrenOf() ?
Download cairgorm extensions. nbsp;It has classes called Callbacks which basically notifies the view after a command has finished. nbsp;It's perfect for this situation. -Jake -- Sent from my Palm Prē On Apr 18, 2010 1:02 PM, Nick Middleweek lt;n...@middleweek.co.ukgt; wrote: nbsp; Hi, I'm working on a cairngorm flex app and have been told to put all business logic inside the CG Command.

Hi Jake, Thanks for the info... I know this sounds crazy but because of project/ company politics we have extreem difficulty getting 3rd party libraries on the project.

Wel, just tell them it's an upgraded version of the cairngorm SWC. nbsp;You can just replace the SWC in the project and it'd be all good -Jake -- Sent from my Palm Prē On Apr 18, 2010 1:46 PM, Nick Middleweek lt;n...@middleweek.co.ukgt; wrote: nbsp; Hi Jake, Thanks for the info...

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm/ Command/ AdvancedDataGrid.expandChildrenOf() ?
Hey Jake, Cheers for the response... I've gone with a ChangeWatcher approach. Update the model from the command and I've dropped in the ChangeWatcher in the view, seems to be working but was curious who others would solve this... I'll look into CG Extensions though, cheers for the idea! Nick On 18 April 2010 20:29, Jake Churchill reyna...@gmail.com wrote: Wel, just tell them it's an upgraded version of the cairngorm SWC.

[flexcoders] Find tree node in groupingcollection?
Hi, Does anyone know the best way to find the tree node in the grouping collection for the selected row in an AdvancedDataGrid ? Hope that makes sense... I've got an ADG with a grouping collection for the provider and I've got a selected row, what I would like to do is get the next level up and reference the tree node so i can then vendorComplexSearch.advancedDataGrid.expandChildrenOf(treeNode, false); vendorComplexSearch.advancedDataGrid.expandChildrenOf(treeNode, true); to force a refresh only on that tree node without collapsing the whole AdvancedDataGrid. Thanks for any help... Nick

[flexcoders] security flex
I was under the impression that flex is not a secure UI and that credit card information and other sensitive information should not be passed through flash/flex. When I upgraded my account with Pandora, I noticed the payments system interface was flash. Also, there is the flex store that Conraets talks about at http://coenraets.org/blog/2010/02/flexstore-revisited-building-an-animated-spark-layout/ So, are these methods not secure, then?

Re: [flexcoders] security flex
What gave you the impression that UI built in Flex less secure than one built in HTML? In both cases the end-user can input sensitive data like credit card information and then it is up to you to setup proper security. Like making sure that the client to server communication is done using SSL (meaning HTTPS). If you dont do this in either case, then anyone can capture the data that is being transmitted. You need to provide more information so we can help you. Also the link you provide below doesn't have anything to do with you question.

[flexcoders] Re: security flex
the link has everything to do with my question. He gives an example of a shopping cart/payment system setup in Flex. This raises my question of whether or not flash is secure enough to operate his phone store in real life. More specifically, user enters information into flash app, which then sends it somewhere to get processed (presumably some HTTPS address). The period of time where flash is transfering info to the HTTPS address is not secure, as described here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_amazon_02.html Specifically, Miti (a Flex Evangelist, so we should take his word for it, right?) says: hardcoding sensitive information into a Flex application is a highly insecure practice. So, is it possible that Pandora's (100% Flex) payments system is secure? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jimmy G angelone197...@... wrote: What gave you the impression that UI built in Flex less secure than one built in HTML?
