There are 2 types of cursors in Flex: system cursors -- the arrow, the hand, the I-beam, etc. -- and custom cursors. Custom cursors are really graphics you display in place of the system cursor (which is hidden) at the current mouse position. There are a number of problems with this: you don't know when the system cursor has changed from an arrow to an I-beam, for instance, and it's often hard to keep up with the current mouse position, so sometimes the custom cursor might lag. I avoid using custom cursors in my applications for these reasons. All that said, I think if you want to show the hand cursor conditionally you'll have to do what you're thinking: switch cursors on roll over and roll out. Manish

[flexcoders] code going into a black whole
Hello, I have some strange behavior I'm trying to figure out. It seems like
my code just stops working in mid-loop without giving any errors.
==
public function set pageModel( value:PageModel ): void {
trace('PageCanvas.pageModel = '+value);
if( _pageModel != value ) {
_pageModel = value;
this.width = _pageModel.width;
this.height = _pageModel.height;
this.removeAllChildren();
for each( var elementModel:IPageElementModel in _pageModel.elements ) {
trace('This happens!');
var newElement:IElementControl =
_docManager.getNewElementInstance(elementModel);
trace('But this does not!');
this.addChild( DisplayObject(newElement) );
}
trace('End of the line.');
}
}
==
trace output:
==
PageCanvas.pageModel = [object PageModel]
This happens!
DocManager.getNewElementInstance
==
So it seams that everything stops after the call to getNewElementInstance.
Is it because I'm doing all this stuff in a setter? If this is the case,
what would be the appropriate way to recreate all the children when the
underlying data model changes?
Thanks for any input!

Re: [flexcoders] code going into a black whole
Yup, looks like the binding was swallowing up the error so there didn't
appear to be any problem. I ended up just scrapping all the code in the
setter and dispatched an event instead. When that code was executed in the
listener, I was getting a runtime error. All fixed now.
Thanks for the insight on binding. I will know to be more careful with my
setters now.

If your method gets invoked by a binding, the binding code will swallow
most errors so you never see them. It's rather annoying when you're losing
an error, but without it binding would be pretty much useless. Some sort of
BindingUtils.logThrownErrors = true feature would be nice :)

[flexcoders] finding out if a child is in view with the current scroll location of a Canvas

[flexcoders] binding execution on Tree nodes
Hello,
I have a Tree component where the labelField is a bindable property of the
data model:
=
[Bindable(event='pageTitleChange')]
[Bindable(event='propertyChange')]
public function get pageTitle(): String {
return _pageTitle;
}
public function set pageTitle( data:String ): void {
_pageTitle = data;
dispatchEvent( new Event('pageTitleChange') );
}
=
When I update the property, the bindings do not execute until I do something
on the tree like add a new node or expand and item. I tried calling methods
like validateProperties() when I know it should update, but no luck. I also
tried executeBindings(), which did work, but I loose my node selection.
Do I need to bubble up binding events to the parent node for them to execute
immediately?
Thanks for any input!

Re: [flexcoders] Creating a popup Menu input
Hi Tracy,
That was my original idea, but I thought it would be a pain to add in all
the cancellation listeners. In a menu, it closes if the user clicks out,
hits escape, etc. If they hit enter it commits the data. I just didn't want
to recreate all that functionality if it's already been done before.
Thanks for the suggestion though!

Re: [flexcoders] Re:Looking for a Flex forum.
Is SEO still an issue when writing a Flex application? I would argue that it's not. A) Google (Yahoo coming soon if not already) now indexes content within a SWF. This includes dynamic content as well. Using dynamic deep linking and a site map that points to different content in the SWF helps a great deal with this. B) If A isn't enough, you could always use mod_rewrite (or similar technology) to take a link structure and pass parameters down into a SWF to determine the view state and content. In addition, the server side script could print an html version of the content in the background which would allow search engines to index the content and give non-flash users access to the information as well. The only down side to this approach is you can not update the URL bar while the user browses through the application since anchor links are not passed through to the server (to my knowledge). This can be compensated for by displaying a link to this page in the application. Anyways, sorry I couldn't answer your original question better. But I think the idea of a Flex based forum is definitely a realizable idea, and I didn't want you to give up on it because of a few dissenters.

Re: [flexcoders] SEO and Flash content
Don't return different content to Google or other spiders. Instead, always print the SAME text content hidden behind the swf. Google will index this content just fine and people without flash will also have access to the content. I have confirmed with someone at Google that this is an acceptable practice as long as there is no malicious intent. This is the method we've been using in our projects and it works just great. Our company website is completely Flex based and turns up on the first page if you search information based strategy. Just use your best judgment and don't do anything shady. Use mod_rewrite to link to specific content in the swf which should also print the SAME content in the background. Keep your content in XML format for quick and easy updates to either display layer.

[flexcoders] What is the best way to measure htmlText at run time?
Hello,
I have to create Text components at run time and assign some content to it's
htmlText. I'm trying to figure out the best way to measure the content's
height, but so far have not been very good at it. Ideally, I would like to
use the same method Flex uses when the Text component is explicitly set in
the MXML like so:
mx:Text width=100% htmlText={HTML_CONTENT} /
I've tried using the seemingly obvious measureHTMLText, but this doesn't
seem to work as I expected it to.
===
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Box xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=100% height=100%
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
[Bindable]
private var _htmlContent:String;
public function get htmlContent(): String {
return _htmlContent;
}
public function set htmlContent( data:String ): void {
_htmlContent = data;
}
private function onUpdateComplete(): void {
trace('HTMLContentBox.onUpdateComplete: '+_htmlContent);
//mesure content height and update this.height accordingly
var tm:TextLineMetrics = idContentText.measureHTMLText(_htmlContent);
trace( ObjectUtil.toString(tm) );
this.height = tm.height + this.getStyle('paddingBottom') +
this.getStyle('paddingTop');
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Text id=idContentText width=100% height=100%
selectable=false htmlText={_htmlContent} styleName=mediumStandardLabel
updateComplete=onUpdateComplete(); /
/mx:Box

So, this leaves me with a question. What is the official way to measure
htmlText at run time?

[flexcoders] referencing style classes in css

Sorry if this is kind of off topic but I had a question about using css
styles to skin my app. I have one application that is deployed on many
different sites, all of which have different skins loaded at run time. I
want to make it quick and easy to update the skins by setting basic options
and referencing them in the other styles. Is this possible to do? If so,
what would the correct syntax be?
As an example of what I mean:
.defaultLightColor {
color: #005290;
}
.mediumLightFont {
fontFamily: MYFont;
fontWeight: normal;
fontSize: 14;
color: 'defaultLightColor.color';
}
.someDataGrid {
fontStyle: 'mediumLightFont';

[flexcoders] ToggleButtonBar - bug or misuse?
Hello,
I have a toggle ToggleButtonBar that might end up having an empty
dataProvider (no buttons) during the course of the execution. This causes a
runtime error in the hiliteSelectedNavItem function when it tries to get the
button at index 0 when there isn't one. I was able to fix the problem by
patching the function as follows:
from:
...
if( index -1 ) {
...
to:
...
if (index -1 index numChildren)
...
My question is whether or not a bug, or just a misuse of the component. Is
the ToggleButtonBar designed to always have at least one button? If not,
should I file a bug report and a possible fix?
I'm pretty new to open source projects, so I'm not to sure what the process
is.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Newbie, RemoteObject with ActionScript
I'm not an expert on RemoteObject myself, but I do notice your code looks a
bit different then mine (which works).
Here is an example of a function that uses remote object in my project:
# public function loadFavorites( resultHandler:Function,
errorHandler:Function ): void {
# var dataService:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject();
#
# dataService.destination = amfphp;
# dataService.source = FavoritesProxy;
# dataService.loadFavorites.addEventListener( ResultEvent.RESULT,
resultHandler );
# dataService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, errorHandler);
# dataService.loadFavorites( myUser.userID, myUser.userHash );
# }
The service being FavoritesProxy.loadFavorites
The two differences I notice is on your result addEventListener, and lack of
a 'source' property.
Hope this helps,

Maybe you can try calling one or all of these methods on your text field after the style changes: invalidateProperties(); invalidateSize(); invalidateDisplayList(); If I had to choose one, I think invalidateSize() should work on it's own. This isn't my expert opinion, I just know I have to call these methods in my custom item renderers after updating the data or text styles.

Re: [flexcoders] I know that if you want to communicate with the main application from within the

DataGridColumn.editorDataField property and listen for the itemEditEnd

cbItemRenderer.getSelectedItem().label. I'm pretty sure you will also need a
getter method to set the correct selectedIndex of the ComboBox.

[flexcoders] understanding TitleWindow garbage collection
Hello, I just started playing around with the Flex 3 profiler and I noticed that every time I open a pop up window, the number of instances keep increasing. I was aware that I had to remove any event listeners when closed, but is there more to it then that? I am worried because I have quite a bit of custom window components, most of which reference various singleton classes. Are these references keeping the window from being garbage collected? If so, would it be enough to destroy the references like this? private var myAuthUser:AuthUser = AuthUser.getInstance(); on close: myAuthUser = null; Is there anything else I need to be careful of when using TitleWindows?

In the PHP code you provided, you can't pass back the raw $results

which

To pass back the results from your query, you'll first need to
extract
the data into a format that can be passed by AMFPHP. Something
similar
to the following:
?php
class SimplePerson
{
function getPeople()
{
$mysql = mysql_connect(localhost, root, root);
mysql_select_db( people-test );
$sSQL = SELECT * FROM `tblPeople`;
$results = mysql_query($sSQL);
$queryResults = array();
while($queryOb = mysql_fetch_assoc($results))
$queryResults[] = $queryOb;
return $queryResults;
}
}
?
That'll show up in Flex as an array containing generic objects that
contain your query results.

Re: [flexcoders] AMFPHP with NetConnection or RemoteObject ?
The page on the AMFPHP 1.9 beta release recommends using RemoteObject. When using NetConnection, for some reason AMFPHP uses AMF0 instead of AMF3. Someone else on this list ran into a problem with this when returning a record set from their service. AS3 no longer supports the RecordSet class, but if you used RemoteObject instead it would send it back as an ArrayCollection over AMF3. I've been tinkering around with NetConnection seeing if I can get a work around for this, but have been unsuccessful so far.

Re: [flexcoders] AMFPHP MySQL Results Object

or necessity.

Also notice that I used ArrayCollection. If I remember correctly, record

this case, the mysql library.)
To pass back the results from your query, you'll first need to extract
the data into a format that can be passed by AMFPHP. Something similar
to the following:
?php
class SimplePerson
{
function getPeople()
{
$mysql = mysql_connect(localhost, root, root);
mysql_select_db( people-test );
$sSQL = SELECT * FROM `tblPeople`;
$results = mysql_query($sSQL);
$queryResults = array();
while($queryOb = mysql_fetch_assoc($results))
$queryResults[] = $queryOb;
return $queryResults;
}
}
?
That'll show up in Flex as an array containing generic objects that
contain your query results.

Hope this helps!

XMLList the object doesn't seem to map like that either

Re: [flexcoders] Re: AMFPHP MySQL Results Object
Hello again. I did some more reading on this and I think the problem is with
using NetConnection instead of RemoteObject. Apperently, using NetConnection
does not always send the right headers to tell AMFPHP to use AMF3 encoding,
thus it tries to return a ResultSet instead of an ArrayCollection. You can
tell you got a ResultSet if the return object has a serverInfo property.
From what I've read, using RemoteObject is a surefire way to get the right
headers (AMF3) and will guarantee an ArrayCollection is returned. However,
having been accustomed to NetConnection myself, and I am trying to figure
out a way to do this without RemoteObject. Setting
NetConnection.objectEncoding to ObjectEncoding.AMF3 did not help for some
reason. Maybe someone else can chime in on this.
In the mean time, here is a good tutorial on RemoteObject with AMFPHP:

Re: [flexcoders] What's this Called?
Kevin, why do you allege bad practice? What are you referring to for
that matter?
I 2nd bad practice. It's unreadable and less efficient. I would hate to read
code where ids were named myComponent1, myComponent2, etc... It would be so
much better to just reference readable names in an indexed Array.
# var myComponents:Array = [ idFirstName, idLastName, idEmail ];
#
# for (var i=0; imyComponents.length-1; i++){
# var example:Object = this.myComponents[i];
# //do some more stuff

Although, I can't think of any reason why you would want to loop through
components like that in the first place. Maybe .NET has different practices
though.

Re: [flexcoders] Design pattern for conditional Interfaces ?

[flexcoders] header-separator-skin in FB3 DataGrid
Hello again,
I think I have most of my Flex 3 migration issues worked out, except one
little skinning issue I'm not to sure about. I noticed that the
header-separator-skin in Flex 3 overhangs the bottom of the DataGrid header.
Example
-
Flex 2: http://www.allchicorentals.com/
Flex 3: http://acr.openbaseinteractive.com/
I have included the custom DataGrid class as an attachment (note: the only
update from Flex 2 version was in drawRowBackgrounds to start row count at 0
instead of 1, all else is the same).
I tried playing around with different style properties to see if I could
find something to help, but no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] manually placing SortArrow in FB3 DataGrid
Hello, I am trying to make the migration to FB3 and I am running into an issue with my DataGrid code. The records I want to display in the grid are broken up into pages. So when I sort a column, I need to sort over all the pages and not just the records shown in the grid. Currently (FB2) I am extending the DataGrid and overriding the drawSortArrow function so that I can manually place a sort arrow where needed. This way I can sort the entire record set across multiple pages, and indicate that a sort is in place. This method does not work in FB3 unfortunately. Could any one direct me in the right direction? Is there a cleaner way to accomplish the same goal? Thanks in advance! ~Aaron

[flexcoders] Unexpected compiler behavior FB2
Hello,
Sorry for the poor topic title but I'm not sure how else to describe
it. I have been trying to debug an issue I'm having and I narrowed it
down to the following statement:
note: memento is an Object
# if( memento.closeToCSU ) {
#trace('memento.closeToCSU = '+ObjectUtil.toString(memento.closeToCSU));
#trace('memento.photoLinks = '+ObjectUtil.toString(memento.photoLinks));
#memento.amenities.closeToCSUCampus = true;
#trace('memento.photoLinks = '+ObjectUtil.toString(memento.photoLinks));
# }
This yeilds an unexpected (for me at least) output of:
# memento.closeToCSU = true
# memento.photoLinks = (Array)#0
# memento.photoLinks = (Array)#0
# [closeToCSUCampus] true
For some reason if memento.photoLinks is empty, and if I set
memento.amenities.closeToCSUCampus, then memento.photoLinks gets
assigned invalid data.
Why is that? Is there something about nested object
properties/references I don't understand, or is Flex Builder 2 doing
something it shouldn't? If the later, what do you recommend I do?
Thanks in advance for any help!

[flexcoders] Multiple NetConnections sometimes fail to load in Firefox

I am using NetConnection to remote data from AMFPHP 1.9 and when the application starts it will start loading a few different pieces simultaneously. I have notice that with FireFox it will only load all the data 2/10 times, while in IE all operations finish 10/10 times. Is this because of the multiprocessing in IE? Is there an easy fix for this, or will I have to make some kind of remote queuing system? Off the top of my head, it seems like it would be a pain. Thanks in advance for any advice! ~Aaron

Re: [flexcoders] Adding numeric stepper values
Sorry, I typed it kind of quickly:
# private function stepperSumFun( val1:int, val2:int, val3:int, val4:int,
val5:int):String {
#return (val1+val2+val3+val4+val5).toString();
# }
Also, you need to pass Numbers not ints if the steppers will have decimals.

Re: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps Viewstack Sandbox Issues
I had to create a MapLoader component that has the yahoo map service in
it, then created an actionscript var of that type. When the viewstack
changes for the first time, I instantiated it and added it as a child to the
viewstack container.
# if( idViewTab.selectedIndex == 1 myMapLoader == null ) {
# myMapLoader = new MapLoader();
# myMapLoader.percentWidth = 100;
# myMapLoader.percentHeight = 100;
#
# idMapView.addChild(myMapLoader);
# }
I'm not sure if your situation is different then mine, but this is what I
had to do for it to work.
Hope this helps,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: interface inheretence
Hi Simon,
I definitely understand your position. In fact this was how the code used to
work. The problem we were running into is that there are a lot of different
child users types which frequently change during the execution of the
program. What's worse is more child user types keep getting added and much
of the program execution throughout the application depends on which type of
user is currently in use. We were finding that making frequent updates to
this system was becoming quite a chore, and usually introduced new bugs.
I've actually finished the conversion to the more polymorphic system, and it
seems to be working quite well. I've even found that I could utilize binding
by creating a morphUserType function that dispatches a propertyChange
event. This would allow me to do something like:
# selectedIndex={(myAuthUser.userModel is IChildUserModel )? 1 : 0}
However, this does introduce another question. Is there a good way in AS3 to
determine the exact implementation of a class? Right now, I can only check
to see if it's not an IChildUserModel which means it must then be an
IUserModel. What if down the road a third type was added? I was thinking I
might be able to do something like a switch statement without breaks to see
how far down the line it goes, but this would bring me back to the updating
problem where switch statements would have to be updated throughout the
application.
This is really just a question for my own curiosity, so anyones thoughts on
the matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!

However you do say that something starts off as a UserModel and

I have just misunderstood what you meant.
btw, I think that ChildUserModel1 implicitly implements IUserModel
through extending UserModel, so you get that through inheritance which
means your class declarations can be cleaned up a little. If you want
to overrride the UserModel implementations of the IUserModel methods
in your subclass you'll have to use the override keyword.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Reflection -- Accessing private fields
Well no, I don't think you can. But why would you need to? Classes (for the most part) are meant to be static. What is the end all result you're trying to achieve? Will the interface be dynamic as well? Perhaps you could achieve the same goal with dynamic objects and the memento pattern. This is generally the preferred method if you are just trying to save state.

Re: [flexcoders] Why is my Rich Text Editor limits me to font size of 172 ?
Hi Sean, I've had to extend/rewrite the default rich text editor for various reasons. Just create a custom component that extends the default, or just copy and paste the code directly from the source. You would then just need to modify to taste. In your case, add more options to the drop down combo.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: depth problems, some help needed please
Sorry, just a clarification.
I forgot that 'parent' is an actual public property. I just meant the parent
of 'topControl', which would most likely be 'this' when called inside the
updateDisplayList function (unless of course it's inside a nested
component).
Best Regards,
...aaron

This will always keep it on top whenever the display list is updated (such
as on resize). You can call the invalidateDisplayList() function to force
this check if you need to.

But now I get a compile-time error Could not resolve

I can fix this by creating a separate component and creating the
instance like this instead:
treeline:TestTileList id=allYarnsTL
dataProvider={allYarnsAC}
itemRenderer=com.treelinerugs.TLItemRenderer
Why can't I define the itemRenderer in-line if I subclass TileList?

Re: [flexcoders] className question
The className property is used to reference a chunk of code (like the name of your mxml file would do). You would have to follow all the same namespace rules as you would if you were to create an Actionscript or mxml class/component. Unless you have multiple data fields in your item editor which need to be referenced by typing it to a specific class, it would probably be better to use the DataGrid.itemEditorDataField property instead.

Re: [flexcoders] How can I make the preloader wait until my runtime styles have been applied?
From the Adobe livedocs The Preloader class is used by the SystemManager to monitor the download and initialization status of a Flex application. It is also responsible for downloading the runtime shared libraries (RSLs). By design, the preloader is supposed to run prior to loading any shared libraries. You might want to try pulling out the styles you need for the preloader and apply them at compile time. If you prefer to load them at runtime, you can use the StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations function in your preloader and wait to start it until the StyleManager finishes loading (function returns an IEventDispatcher where you can listen for StyleEvent.COMPLETE). Although, I'm not sure how well the later will work before the application finishes initializing. Best Regards, ...aaron On 11/16/07, chatopica [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have an application that depends on runtimes styles, but there's a second before the styles are loaded and applied that the application is displayed with the default styles.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: AMFPHP 1.9 security problem
You can create the login/logout methods in a parent class and have all your child classes extend it. However, what I did was create one Auth class which gets called for login/logout requests and returns an authentication token to the client. This can be as simple as a session ID, or be a more complex object with a user id, user hash (generated at login), available classes/methods, etc. The idea is to pass this authentication token as a parameter to each request, and validate it before serving any data. Perhaps there is an easier way to do what you want, but this has worked for me pretty well.

Re: [flexcoders] Resizing and default size of custom components....
Does it not work to make the itemRenderer width/height 100%? This is will make each item take up all it's available space equally divided between each item. If you do not want the items equally divided, you can set them to different percentages, or override the updateDisplayList function within the itemRenderer and calculate it's size based on the size of the parent. Hope this helps. Best Regards, ...aaron On 11/17/07, DreamCode [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all! I have a weird problem about sizing of tilelists/items and before I pull out the last remaining straws on my head I decided to see if any experts had knowledge to share. I have number of TileLists on screen, the actual number of lists and their size is something the user can customize, but typically it will be 1-4 lists sized as % on both width/height. In the tilelist I want to show data with a specific item renderer but which item renderer is also something that the user can customize. So typically I will have a TileList of unknown size in pixels. Lets say that I want to show a list with 3 rows vertically and the amount of columns is based on the amount of items in the data provider. Is it possible to have the item renderer resize to the available size.ie. around 1/3 of the tilelist height if we take gaps into consideration. Below is what i'm trying to do: *var* paneTemp:TileList = *new* TileList(); paneTemp.styleName = *basePane*; *var* paneStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = * new* CSSStyleDeclaration; paneStyle = xmlToStyleDeclaration(XMLList(panesXML.constraints),paneTemp); // This is where I find the properties for size/position paneTemp.styleDeclaration = paneStyle; *var* item1:ContentItem = *new* ContentItem(); item1.contentImage = *img/folder1.jpg*; item1.contentTitle = *Item 1*; contentList0.addItem(item1); *var* item2:ContentItem = *new* ContentItem(); item2.contentImage = * img/folder2.jpg*; item2.contentTitle = *Item 2*; contentList0.addItem(item2); paneTemp.itemRenderer=*new* ClassFactory(ContentRenderer1); paneTemp.dataProvider = contentList0; paneContainer.addChild(paneTemp); The item renderer only have a max width/height defined and then I override the measure function to have the default size set to something different than whatever component the item renderer is based on. So in the example above the measure function of the item renderer set default size to 195w x 225h and that size is also the maxW/H for the item renderer. I would like it so that they have the default size if there's room, otherwise scale down to whatever size can fit in the list. I do not want the items to get bigger than the default/max size. The above example shows the items at the correct size if rowCount is not set for the TileList, but the TileList itself is larger than the size it was originally set to. If the TileList is empty the size is correct. The problem is best illustrated visually, so I have made an image of 3 scenarios.

You could create a status window component that extends TitleWindow. Pop it up and give it a status message when it starts the upload, then remove it when finished. You could even request a user response on error. Search the docs for 'TitleWindow' for more info. There are other ways to do this, but I found this to be the most user firendly for my own use.
