RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex is Broken
I noticed that you are using removeEffects on the components. That is the root of your problem. I bet it you took those off, you wouldn't get the error anymore. In my experience with Flex, I've noticed that the child indexes change when an item is actually removed (when the effect has completed). There is a synchronization issue that occurs while the effect is playing. Adding children while a remove effect is playing usually causes errors very similar to what you are experiencing. If you are adding another child, try adding it after the remove effect has finished playing.

What makes this particularly scary is that the error message appears once and then any time I try to do anything at all to the container after that it throws the same message over and over. I originally saw this appear in reference to popups on the SystemManager container and created a work-around to pre-instantiate windows and just keep them hidden until needed. It was specifically a problem when I would use the popup manager to display a menu and the selection of a menu option would then display a window. What ended up happening was that the window would be created and popped up at the same time the popup was being removed and it would get its internal indexing off it would seem and never could you do anything to the SystemManager container again. Is there a way to add and remove items safely or is this a known bug and one I just have to live with until Adobe gets around to fixing it?
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex is Broken
If you can, just reverse that. Add the new items, and then remove the old ones. You *should* see nearly identical visual effects, and shouldn't get that error. Without seeing the full code, I can't guarantee that it will solve your problems, but I'm pretty sure that this would help you. -Andy _ Andrew Trice Technical Lead Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 3:24 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex is Broken It's pretty straight-forward to reproduce.

PNG encoder also creates larger bytearrays, which equates to larger file size,

Hi,
Here is my way to export image (PNG or JPEG) to a PHP server. The image is
available as if you post it on a HTML form, so in $_FILES variables.
First, I've added this 2 methods in JPEG and PNG encoder class :
public function encodeFromUI(target:UIComponent):ByteArray {
return this.encode(getUIComponentBitmapData(target));
}
private function getUIComponentBitmapData( target : UIComponent ) :
BitmapData{
var bd : BitmapData = new BitmapData( target.width, target.height );
var m : Matrix = new Matrix();
bd.draw( target , m );
return bd;
}
I've created a new method that encode and send the image :
var png:PNGEnc = new PNGEnc(); // PNGEnc is faster than JPEG encoder
var imageData:ByteArray = png.encodeFromUI(UIComp);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://your_url/print_bitmap.php
http://your_url/print_bitmap.php ');
var boundary:String = '--MIKA--';
url.contentType = 'multipart/form-data; boundary='+boundary;
boundary = '--'+boundary;
var data:ByteArray = new ByteArray;
data.writeUTFBytes(boundary+'\r\n');
// start new part
data.writeUTFBytes('Content-Disposition: form-data; name=file_upload;
filename=image.png\r\n');
data.writeUTFBytes('Content-Type: image/png\r\n');
data.writeUTFBytes('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\r\n\r\n');
// write image data
data.writeBytes(imageData);
// terminate part
data.writeUTFBytes('\r\n'+boundary+'\r\n');
// start a new part if you want to send other POST variables
data.writeUTFBytes('Content-Disposition: form-data; name=test\r\n\r\n');
data.writeUTFBytes('mikaflash');
data.writeUTFBytes('\r\n'+boundary+'\r\n');
url.data = data;
url.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
/*var Loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Exporting Charts as Image
Glad my blog entry helped. :-)
You can use the as3 PNGEncoder or JPGEncoder libraries at
http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/ to do the image format conversion
within the flex application. You can post it to a server using either
remoting, web service, or http service. Remoting/AMF3 is fastest and
easiest, but the other methods work well too. Remoting does not require
any base64 conversion for the binary data; you can send it across the
wire as is.
-Andy
This is from a previous post I wrote here on flexcoders...
If you are using AMF3 (RemoteObject), you can serialize binary data
without any conversion. If you are trying a standard HTTP post, I would
use a HTTPService with the method= POST. Then you have to Base64
encode the binary data and attach it to the parameters of the http
service. On the server side, you will need to decode the base64 encoded
data back into binary.
Example:
mx:HTTPService
id=httpService
showBusyCursor=true
useProxy=false
method=POST
resultFormat=text
url=/BinaryData/cf/HTTPImageSave.cfm
result=onResult('Data Saved via mx:HTTPService')
fault=onFault(event) /
private function base64Encode( data : ByteArray ) : String
{
var encoder : Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.encodeBytes( data );
return encoder.flush();
}
private function sendData() : void
{
var data : ByteArray = encoder.encode( myPngByteArray );
var params : Object = { data : base64Encode( data ) };
httpService.send( params );
}
In ColdFusion, you can decode the base64 data simply by using the
toBinary function. Other languages have similar functions as well.
Just a FYI... using the JPG instead of PNG requires significantly less
bandwidth time to post the data to the server. Base64 encoding the
data also increases the size of the data being transferred across the
wire. It is much more efficient to use a remoteObject method with
JPG-compressed data.

Glad my blog entry helped. :-)
You can use the as3 PNGEncoder or JPGEncoder libraries at
http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/
http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/ to do the image format
conversion within the flex application. You can post it to a server
using either remoting, web service, or http service. Remoting/AMF3 is
fastest and easiest, but the other methods work well too. Remoting does
not require any base64 conversion for the binary data; you can send it
across the wire as is.
-Andy
This is from a previous post I wrote here on flexcoders...
If you are using AMF3 (RemoteObject), you can serialize binary data
without any conversion. If you are trying a standard HTTP post, I would
use a HTTPService with the method= POST. Then you have to Base64
encode the binary data and attach it to the parameters of the http
service. On the server side, you will need to decode the base64 encoded
data back into binary.
Example:
mx:HTTPService
id=httpService
showBusyCursor=true
useProxy=false
method=POST
resultFormat=text
url=/BinaryData/cf/HTTPImageSave.cfm
result=onResult('Data Saved via mx:HTTPService')
fault=onFault(event) /
private function base64Encode( data : ByteArray ) : String
{
var encoder : Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.encodeBytes( data );
return encoder.flush();
}
private function sendData() : void
{
var data : ByteArray = encoder.encode( myPngByteArray );
var params : Object = { data : base64Encode( data ) };
httpService.send( params );
}
In ColdFusion, you can decode the base64 data simply by using the
toBinary function. Other languages have similar functions as well.
Just a FYI... using the JPG instead of PNG requires significantly less
bandwidth time to post the data to the server. Base64 encoding the
data also increases the size of the data being transferred across the
wire. It is much more efficient to use a remoteObject method with
JPG-compressed data.

In the last section of the Andrew Trice tutorial he's doing pretty
much what I'd like to do, but he doesn't supply the source. The piece
that I think I need is how to handle the data sent from Flex on the

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Exporting Charts as Image
In it's most simple form: this is all you need to do in CF. You don't
need to convert it. It comes over AMF as binary data.
cffunction name=save access=remote output=false
returntype=void
cfargument name=data type=binary required=true /
cffile action=write file=c:\temp\data.jpg
output=#arguments.data# /
/cffunction
You only need to use tobinary if you are sending it as base64 encoded
data across a web service or http service.

Hi Andy,
I'm using remoting/AMF in other parts of my application, so I don't
think I'll have a problem sending the data to ColdFusion after it's
prepared. I just wasn't sure what to do with the data once I got it to
ColdFusion to turn it into a file (I'm fairly new to ColdFusion).
I'll take a look at the ColdFusion toBinary function and I assume that
after the data comes out of toBinary I can write the file using
cffile. Anyway, it gives me a foothold to get started :-) Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Init image with binary xml node
You need to Base64 encode the binary data. Once encoded, it is treated
as a text string, and can be embedded within an xml document. You also
need to keep in mind that Base64 encoding data also increases the size
of the data. When you are retrieving data out of the xml, you will need
to decode the base64-encoded data back into its binary form.
private function base64Encode( data : ByteArray ) : String
{
var encoder : Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.encodeBytes( data );
return encoder.flush();

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie question: Datagrid and a WS
In your case, you need to fire the event that sets the source of the
image whenever the data to the cellrenderer is changed. Not on creation
complete. You can do this two ways:
1) bind the source of the image tag to the data :
mx:Image source={ data.file_name } /
2) Override the set data function to update the image source
whenever the data has been updated.
I would go with #1 first.

RE: [flexcoders] Posting PNG to server
If you are using AMF3 (RemoteObject), you can serialize binary data
without any conversion. If you are trying a standard HTTP post, I would
use a HTTPService with the method= POST. Then you have to Base64
encode the binary data and attach it to the parameters of the http
service. On the server side, you will need to decode the base64 encoded
data back into binary.
Example:
mx:HTTPService
id=httpService
showBusyCursor=true
useProxy=false
method=POST
resultFormat=text
url=/BinaryData/cf/HTTPImageSave.cfm
result=onResult('Data Saved via mx:HTTPService')
fault=onFault(event) /
private function base64Encode( data : ByteArray ) : String
{
var encoder : Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.encodeBytes( data );
return encoder.flush();
}
private function sendData() : void
{
var data : ByteArray = encoder.encode( myPngByteArray );
var params : Object = { data : base64Encode( data ) };
httpService.send( params );
}
In ColdFusion, you can decode the base64 data simply by using the
toBinary function. Other languages have similar functions as well.
Just a FYI... using the JPG instead of PNG requires significantly less
bandwidth time to post the data to the server. Base64 encoding the
data also increases the size of the data being transferred across the
wire. It is much more efficient to use a remoteObject method with
JPG-compressed data.

Andy,
myComponent.setStyle(alpha, .5);
Whay do you use setStyle()? Since alpha is a property, this just seems
to use more overhead by calling two methods instead of one.
Since all UIComponent implement IUIComponent that extends
IFlexDisplayObject that declares alpha, you even have a straight forward
interface into the component.
IUIComponent(myComponent).alpha = 0.5;
Just curoius,

RE: [flexcoders] Styling in Flex is officially ridiculous
I can't answer any of that for Adobe, but here is some input. Granted, I agree that it should be a default css property that can be easilty changed... It actually can be done without a ton of work. The easiest way to do that is to copy modify the halo ButtonSkin class, and use it as a custom skin on your button. Just modify the updateDisplayList function so that it draws the gradient rectangles on top of each other, without the pixel offset for the border, when calling the drawRoundRect functions. Search for the string // button fill in that class, and you will see the areas that need to be updated. You don't need to subclass the button at all. You can find the halo skins as a reference at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2\Flex SDK 2\frameworks\source\mx\skins\halo I have more info on skinning flex apps at https://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice?entry=making_flex_ less_flex_like Hope that helps, -Andy _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ben.clinkinbeard Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 10:52 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Styling in Flex is officially ridiculous OK.

If he is talking about the actual button border, that is the skin and he
needs to create a new skin. The button does not have borders, it has
skins. It dosn't even share the same characteristics of a Container that
has a border. These are not the same things.

Andy,
It answers his question and it does work.
If the label is present, you click on the label and the Button functions
correctly.
I don't know what he is aiming for here but, if you 'don't' have a
border, there is no other hit area specified for the component. So, how
are you going to get mouse events from a component that dosn't have a
hit area?
Bottom line is, this approach does work if you plan to use a label,
other than this, why would you want a button without a label and border
if you want to click on it?

RE: [flexcoders] Databinding Custom Event
The benefit is that your getter function will be bound to that event, so
any time that event is dispatched, the data binding is updated. In this
example, it doesn't really stand out that this is a great thing. Let's
say that there is also a get lastname function that is similar to your
firstname function, and add an updateNames function, so we have this...
[Bindable(event=MyEvent)]
public function set firstname(value:String):void
{
_firstname = value;
dispatchEvent( new FlexEvent('MyEvent') );
}
public function get firstname():String
{
return _firstname;
}
private var _firstname:String;
[Bindable(event=MyEvent)]
public function set lastname(value:String):void
{
_lastname = value;
dispatchEvent( new FlexEvent('MyEvent') );
}
public function get lastname ():String
{
return _lastname;
}
private var _lastname:String;
public function updateNames ( myUpdateObject : Object ):void
{
_firstname = myUpdateObject.firstname;
_lastname = myUpdateObject.lastname
dispatchEvent( new FlexEvent('MyEvent') );
}
The updateNames function dispatches a single event, which updates the
bindings on both of your getter functions. Now, the real benefit of
set functions is that you can programmatically execute code when a
value is updated. Your names example doesn't take full advantage of the
capabilities. The set function is better suited for when you have
other functions that should be executed any time that your set is
updated.
[Bindable(event=MyEvent)]
public function set firstname(value:String):void
{
_firstname = value;
//execute some code here
doSomething();
doSomethingElse();
doAnotherThing();
dispatchEvent( new FlexEvent('MyEvent') );
}
In this example, the data binding gets updated after the other functions
have been executed. This technique is VERY useful when developing flex
components. For instance, you can have a function on a custom component
that extends a text box such as:
override public function set text( value : String ) : void
And you want other properties to be updated when text has been updated,
so you setup your set function like this:
override public function set text( value : String ) : void
{
this.updated = true;
resetComponentState();
super.text = value;
}
Hope that helps,
-Andy

Hey,
What if any benefits are there to defining a custom event type for your

_firstname = value;
dispatchEvent( new FlexEvent('MyEvent') );

public function get firstname():String

RE: [flexcoders] Re: gant chart
Glad you like the example. I agree that this is not the best solution, but it is a very reasonable solution for 2 reasons: 1) Its quick and easy and will get the job done for a large number of scenarios. 2) Not all clients want/need the full dependencies. Karls solution is actually very similar to mine, although it uses a tree instead of a datagrid (and it is done in Flex 1.5). Having full dependencies and linked tasks will definitely require a custom control. Trying to add those by extending a datagrid would be a lot of work, and would still be very clunky. It really depends on your requirements and schedule to determine which solution works best, this can be just another weapon in the flex arsenal. -Andy _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of iko_knyphausen Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 1:02 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: gant chart Nice work, Andrew. It sure illustrates the flex-ibility of the dataGrid. I am not entirely convinced that the dataGrid is the best way to go though... I mean for a pro-component. I think a combination of datagrid (or tree) and canvas could be easier down the road. By this I mean, once you get into drawing dependency lines - as an example - (which can go across multiple rows either up or down, backwards, and sometimes around objects) a grid and the itemrenderer could face a hard time. I believe there is a colleague of yours at cynergy, by the name of Karl Johnson, who has done some work on this subject too - I am sure he can offer some valuable input as well.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Making the datagrid header background alpha 0
I was able to get the *header* to be transparent doing the
following, but the color of the ListBaseContentHolder shows through and is not
transparent. If you set backgroundAlpha=0 on the datagrid, then
it will be completely transparent, but then you also lose any row background colors

RE: [flexcoders] LinkBar ViewStack Problem
Try setting creationPolicy=all
on your viewstack. This will ensure that the child components have been
created. FYI You do not want to use this approach too often, especially
on deeply nested components. It can drastically increase the initialization
time of your applications.
It might be a better approach to bind the
textinput text value to the datagrids selected item
mx:TextInput id=input
text={list.selectedItem.someValue} /

Subject: [flexcoders] LinkBar
ViewStack Problem
Hello all!
I've been having this particular problem, I have 2 canvas inside a
viewStack, lest say something like:
mx:ViewStack id=viewStack width=100%
height=100%
mx:Canvas id=list label=List
mx:DataGrid doubleClickEnabled=true
doubleClick=viewStack.selectedIndex = 1;
input.text=list.selectedItem.someValue
/mx:DataGrid
/mx:Canvas
mx:Canvas id=form label=Form
mx:TextInput id=input/
/mx:Canvas
/mx:ViewStack
Its simple, but whenever I double-click on the DataGrid, Flex gives an
error saying that it can't access a null object (referring to the
textinput input that is defined inside the second Canvas and is
hidden).
I've noticed that when one uses viewstacks or accordions and wants to
access to an object inside a container that is hidden to initialize
it, there is no way to access it.
I've tried selecting the canvas first and then assinging the data,
like I did in the code above, but doesn't work either.
I really need help with this, otherwise Im gonna have to change the
layout of the hall application.
Thanks in advance!

RE: [flexcoders] Invalidating a control during a CPU intensive task.
I havent had a lot of luck with this approach in the past. Even though you are telling it to update at that moment, it doesnt mean the flash player will redraw at exactly that time. The player waits until it has enough resources to perform the redraw action. If your process is hogging all of the cpu cycles, then it is not going to redraw. I have successfully achieved this type of functionality by changing how I processed my data. Instead of looping over a large dataset, I used a timer to call a function every millisecond. In that function, I perform whatever action is necessary on one item. Then process the next data item in the next timer event. This gives the player a break in between function calls, where it has the resources to update the screen. The code is more complex and performs slightly slower than just looping over the data, but it also prevents any errors where the player times out the function b/c the function is taking too long to execute. This *might* help you, but I make no guarantees. It depends what your function does, and how you are processing your data. This option may not even be feasible for you. -Andy _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Freiman Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 1:41 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Invalidating a control during a CPU intensive task. There are two issues: First, the progress bar is listening for your source to send events that progress was made (that's the way bound variables are implemented). I forget whether events are dispatched immediately, or at the next free moment. If it's immediately, than this isn't a problem. Otherwise, you're going to have to update the progress directly. Second, the Progress bar redraws itself using updateDisplayList(). Whenever the progress (the internal value) is updated in the bar, the bar calls invalidateDisplayList(). Invalidate display list tells updateDisplayList() to run at the next free moment. In your scenerio, there is no next free moment, so we need to shortcut that wait. Normally this would be done by extending the progress bar and overriding some functionality, but everything you need to get to is private so we can't do that...sort of. Something that might work would be to override invalidateDisplayList() and have it call updateDisplayList() intead of doLater(updateDisplayList). However, this is a bad idea because it might cause an error on initialization and in general isn't great for performance. However, if the progress bar isn't used much it might work fine for your purposes. Otherwise you'd need to update the value directly instead of being bound. You'd want to do that through a function you create (let's call it setProgressNow) that calls setProgress() and then calls updateDisplayList() that sets the progress and then calls updateDisplayList immediately. Let me know if any of that didn't make sense or won't work for some reason I haven't thought of. - Dan On 10/16/06, Steve Kellogg @ Project SOC [EMAIL PROTECTED]com wrote: Thanks for your reply.

RE: [flexcoders] cropping image...with Copypixels

public function centerAndCrop( bitmapData :

if(cWidth
bitmapData.width) cWidth = bitmapData.width;
if(cHeight
bitmapData.height) cHeight = bitmapData.height;
if(cWidth 1 ||
cHeight 1) return bitmapData
var translateMatrix :
Matrix = new Matrix();
var xOffset : Number
= -Math.abs((bitmapData.width - cWidth)/2);
var yOffset : Number
= -Math.abs((bitmapData.height - cHeight)/2);
translateMatrix.identity();
translateMatrix.translate(xOffset,
yOffset);
var returnBitmapData

puzzlePieceBmp.copyPixels(bd, new Rectangle(x1,y1,h,w), new
Point(0, 0));
imageid.source = puzzlePieceBmp;
this is not working properly, The cropped portion is not of desired height and
width, Can any body suggest me how the Rectangle parameter works for copypixesl
method.
Its been more than 2 days i am working on this part and i tired searching all
forum ..reading live docs about copypixelsbut no gain
please guide me in this. Or any one can point me to some URL where the cropping
in flex is demonstrated.
I would be very grateful
Regards

RE: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] Re: [flexcoders] Re: JPEGEncoder.as
Id recommend using the socket class to stream the data to your application as a ByteArray. Then use the loader classs loadBytes method to render the images as you get them.

RE: [flexcoders] UI Advise
Hi Tim, I just posted a blog article on this topic this morning. It is definitely possible to capture the BitmapData of a hidden object within an Image object. It has examples how to do this. You can check it out at: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice?entry=flex_2_bitmapdata_tricks_and I would use a viewstack to contain 1) the thumbnail and 2) the component. Perform a mx:Resize effect on the viewstack, then swap the thumb and component on the EFFET_END event (just toggle the visible child of the viewstack). If you bind the image to the constraints of the parent container (using top, left, right, bottom), then I think that the image *should* scale with the viewstack. You will definitely need to experiment with the mouse events/interaction on this it is highly probable that the usability could get quirky behavior that youll need to fine tune. Hope that helps! -Andy _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tim Hoff Sent: Friday, September 22, 2006 4:50 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] UI Advise Hi all, Perhaps some of you gurus can help me determine the best approach for a UI that I'm thinking about. The use case will have a popup that displays detail information that is related to summary records in a DataGrid. When the user makes a grid selection, a popup will display. The popup will contain several UI components (thumbnails of panels) that each display different detail information. For instance, if the grid contained Authors, the popup might contain: Biopragraphy, Recent Books, Blog Postings, Articles, etc.. Some of the components will contain static text, while others will contain lists (DataGrids) or images. Now for the fun part. When the user clicks on (or MouseOver) the thumbnail, the component will expand (zoom with effect) to the full size of the popup and cover the other thumbnails. When the user clicks again (or MouseOut) the popup will return to the initial thumbnail state (using Cairngorm). My thoughts are to capture BitmapData of the individual panel components and display them as the thumbnails in the initial popup state. When the user clicks a thumbnail, change state with zoom effect and replace the image with the actual component. If this is possible, does anyone have any ideas how I might go about accomplishing this idea? In other words, is it possible to capture the BitmapData of a component without displaying the component; just the image? Also, when the thumbnail zoom completes, how might I swap the image with the actual component? I'm pretty sure that there is something similar to an EFFECT_END event that I could use to change state a second time. But, I'm interested to hear different perspectives. Since Flex will soon be competing with Windows Vista and WPF, I'm trying to develop innovative UI's that will rival the competition. I would appreciate any ideas anyone might have for this scenario. Or, if someone has done something similar, I would love to see the code.

When the user clicks on (or MouseOver) the thumbnail, the component will expand (zoom with effect) to the full size of the popup and cover the other thumbnails. When the user clicks again (or MouseOut) the popup will return to the initial thumbnail state (using Cairngorm). My thoughts are to capture BitmapData of the individual panel components and display them as the thumbnails in the initial popup state. When the user clicks a thumbnail, change state with zoom effect and replace the image with the actual component. If this is possible, does anyone have any ideas how I might go about accomplishing this idea? In other words, is it possible to capture the BitmapData of a component without displaying the component; just the image? Also, when the thumbnail zoom completes, how might I swap the image with the actual component? I'm pretty sure that there is something similar to an EFFECT_END event that I could use to change state a second time. But, I'm interested to hear different perspectives. Since Flex will soon be competing with Windows Vista and WPF, I'm trying to develop innovative UI's that will rival the competition. I would appreciate any ideas anyone might have for this scenario. Or, if someone has done something similar, I would love to see the code.

RE: [flexcoders] Video Controller
If you want to play the video inside of Flex, you will need to convert it to FLV hands down. A lot of people on this newsgroup mention FFmpeg for video conversion (http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/).

Regarding running video files with different formats (.mov,.mpeg,wmv,etc.), yes that was commonplace with Flash prior to the introduction of the FLV format with Flash Player 6. I came up with the following after googling: Flash Quicktime Integrating Flash and QuickTime for Dynamic Media Delivery If you can integrate Flash with the playback of other video formats, surely you can do it with Flex 2. But I advise that you should not expect components from Adobe for supporting streaming formats other than FLV. Not with FLV now so ubiquitous, and with the solid quality with the FLV On2 codec introduced with Flash 8. If others do not post with more here about integrating Flex in players for other video formats, you might try posting also on the Flashcoders list. hth, g On 9/11/06, KP jain_kumar11@yahoo.co.in wrote: Hi All, I want to run video files with format (.mov,.mpeg,wmv) etc. But what I found when I tried to use video controller that is present in flex components it supports only flv formats files.

RE: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] [flexcoders] Re: Choice of backend systems - which provides
OK, so Ive watching this thread going back and forth over and over Now its time for my two cents. It looks like this thread began by someone saying that you cannot use web services in a real world flex application. Ive got to agree with Dave on this. You definitely can, and we have done it numerous times here at Cynergy. Are there tradeoffs? Yes. As others have said already in the post: The decision on what mechanism to use should be dealt with on a case by case basis. Lets consider a few things: Do the web services already exist and can they handle the current load? If they do, use them. Why reinvent the wheel? Yes, there is a performance advantage to using AMF, but most users will not notice the difference in transport speed it is fractions of a second. If your application is properly architected and your backend is optimized, the end user will never know the difference. I personally like using remote objects, but not every solution allows for this. In the cases where you cannot use remote objects, web services still work great. SOAP is a very verbose protocol, but by no means is it unusable. If that were the case, why would web services be so prevalent? Why would there be all the buzz about service oriented architectures? If you feel that a web service is too verbose or too slow, and you cant use remote objects, then use a HTTPService to return XML. There are many solutions. It really all boils down to how you use and retrieve your data and depends on your requirements and application architecture. If the processing time on the server is too much for your application to handle, then chances are there is a problem with your applications back end, not the webservice/serialization layer. To generalize and say that you should never use a web service is a very big mistake. -Andy _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jack Caldwell Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 10:40 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] [flexcoders] Re: Choice of backend systems - which provides Martin: OK . . . . so the lag time is when the data gets back to the end-user?

RE: [flexcoders] Returning XML from CFMX with AMF0
It is probably processing the entire
result as a string. When you get the result back from the remoteObject
call, set the dataProvider of your tree to a new xml object created using the
string value of your result.
Something like this
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private
function handleResult( result:Object ) : void
{
myTree.dataProvider
= new XML( result.toString() );
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:RemoteObject
result=handleResult(event.result) /

RE: [flexcoders] Passing an id to a function?
I think what you really want to do is pass
a reference to the element, not the string id of the element.
Change your function signature to:
private function displayDate(date:Date, displayTo:Label):void
{
Then, just pass a refferce to your label
mx:Label id=myLabel
/
mx:Button click=displayDate(new
Date(),myLabel) /

RE: [flexcoders] Dynamically Create a MXML file
That's not really the way that flex works. You don't create mxml on the fly. What you can do is create an extensible component that reads some sort of configuration, and dynamically adds elements on the fly, using the addChild method. This way you can dynamically add any kind of component at runtime, whether it is a textbox, radio button, or custom component. -Andy From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of PramodSent: Tue 8/8/2006 7:17 AMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Dynamically Create a MXML file Hi,I am currently working an a project where the reqirement is as follows -I need to get info from the user and on submit, create an application with the inputs from the previous form.Is there a tutorial or a link where i can find info on how to create an mxml file and generate them on a click of a button?Thanks a lot in Advance,Regards,Pramod __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

RE: [flexcoders] Problem to embed a JSP page in Flex
Is it truly necessary to embed a jpg to achieve this? What format are the actual dynamic graphs? I assume that they are images embedded within the jsp. If they are jpg images, then they can be requested directly from the flex application. You can create a servlet that creates and returns the graph jpg, and render that directly within your Flex 1.5 application.

Now we need to integrate these graphs with our Flex application. I came accross this article http://coenraets.com/viewarticle.jsp?articleId=95 which suggests to use an html iframe.

RE: [flexcoders] Problem to embed a JSP page in Flex
The unfortunate reality is that there is no easy workaround for this. If the iframe method of Chrisophe Coenraets doesnt work for you, then you are going to have to display the graph jpg inside of flex, and move the _javascript_ logic into your flex application. If you move the _javascript_ logic into flex, you eliminate _javascript_ from the picture altogether, thus simplifying your application. You may find a solution with DENG, but I wouldnt bet on it. I took a quick look at their examples, but it did not load any of the image links in the XML feed that I tested with it. -Andy _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Serguey, Shinder Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 8:00 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Problem to embed a JSP page in Flex Yes I think is is truly necessary.

We currently use Flex 1.5. We use some graph building API which is written in Java and JSP. Basically we have a jsp page that builds the graphs dynamically using some Java API. Now we need to integrate these graphs with our Flex application. I came accross this article http://coenraets.com/viewarticle.jsp?articleId=95 which suggests to use an html iframe. This could be the solution, but when I put it into our application, it starts to behave strangely - after the second time I load I can't see any dynamically generated jpeg images anymore. My question is - is there any other solution that could help us embed a jsp page within out flex application? I came accross DENG, did anyone try to integrate it with Flex? Can DENG behave as a Flex component? Did anyone have a similar problem? Please, help, this issue does look complicated.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and Server-Side Technology Recommendations
Exactly. ColdFusion is an alternative to .NET and J2EE (although ColdFusion can actually work together with both). You develop most of your code in an XML-based scripting language: CFML. It is very easy to learnand very quick to develop powerful dynamic applications. Another benefit of using ColdFusion (7.0.2) is that it has a lot of wizards that are available to you that enable automatic code generation. You have to install the ColdFusion extensions for Flex builder in order to see these options. There are wizards that can automatically generate ColdFusion Components(CFCs) and Flex forms based off of your database schema. More detail on CF can befound on adobe's site: http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/ You can really use any server side technology that you want... Java can communicate with Flexvia FDS (Flex Data Services), Web Services, or XML over HTTP .NET can communicate with Flex via Web Services or XML over HTTP. There is also something called webOrb, which is supposed to be similar to remote objects for .NET (I cannot vouch for this, I have never used it). PHP can communicate with Flex via XML over HTTP, Web Services, or AMFPHP I'm sure that there is a way to do this using Ruby/Ruby on Rails. ... and this is not the definitive list. There are plenty of other solutions out there. If you are already familiar with a specific web-based technology,then there's a good chance that you can use it to power a flex interface. Each technology has its advantages, disadvantages, and price tags. -Andy From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Tim HoffSent: Mon 7/17/2006 5:59 PMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and Server-Side Technology Recommendations Thanks Andy,So CF would replace ASP.Net as the middle tier.

What is the URL for your web service?
Even if the swf and web service are on the
same host but the host names do not match perfectly, you will get this kind of

[flexcoders] asdoc generator for AS3?
Is there a publicly available program to generate asdocs for Flex 2/Actionscript 3? I have seen some open source asdoc generators, but they only cover as2. I dont seen one on adobes site.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Embedding WSDL?
In Flex 1.5, I was able to preload/embed
wsdl into the swf by overriding the sendAndLoad method of the native XML object
Take a look at my blog posting here to see
how:
https://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice?entry=override_native_object_methods_in
I dont think that this exact syntax
will work in Flex 2 b/c you can no longer modify the prototype of a native
object. In Flex 2, you could try extending the WebService object
like this (although I have no guarantee that this would work I have not actually
tried it). Use the EmbededWSDL class instead of the WebService class.
You might also need to override the loadWsdl function.
package
{
import
mx.rpc.soap.WebService;
public
class EmbededWSDL extends WebService
{
public
function EmbededWSDL(){
this.wsdl
= MY WSDL STRING;
super();
}
}
}
Hope that helps!

Embedding WSDL?
Kelly,
As Matt
observed, I'm using a single AS class (Cairngorm ServiceLocator) for webservice
calls. It's based on Jeff Tapper's DataManager class:
http://jeff.mxdj.com/as3datamanagerfix.htm
I changed
the logic to get the wsdl, when the application loads, to cut a few seconds off
of the initial data call. It appears that once the wsdl is loaded, the
webservice doesn't request it again for subsequent calls. If all of your
calls are to the same webservice, there would only be one request for the
wsdl. This would address your client's concern about network traffic.
-TH
Note: You don't have to use AS. The same thing can be done with mxml.

We don't have WSDL caching right now. It sounds like your app may call for
a strategy like a ServiceLocator where you put the WebService in a single
location and refer to it from elsewhere. If you have 15 WebService tags
you
will get 15 WSDL requests even if they are for the same WSDL. So two tags,
less of a deal, 15, big pain. The DataServices approach that Tim has here
is one example of a ServiceLocator.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Embedding WSDL?
I have the same question as Kelly. It seems that the initial call
to a webservice is slower because of the wsdl. Subsequent calls are
fine, but there is always an initial delay. I know, switch to
HTTPService or RemoteObject.
For the following code, I'm thinking that I could override the
loadWSDL() function, but the mx.rpc.soap.WebService API doesn't
appear in the framework. Is the API final? Is there a work-around
here?
public function DataServices(pri:PrivateClass, wsdl:String)
{
this.ws = new WebService();
ws.wsdl = wsdl;
ws.loadWSDL();
ws.useProxy = false;
ws.makeObjectsBindable = false;
}
Thank you,
-TH

request via UrlLoader?
Along with that if I have 15 different web service tags on
different MXML
components of my application that all call the same web service
with the
exact same WSDL Uri, will the WSDL cache? or will each Web Service
instance
make a request for the WSDL via HTTP when it is initialized.
My client is very concerned that the application may be
too chatty on
their network and it seems that these WSDL requests may be part of
the
problem. I'm using Flex 2.0 RTM.

Nope, Ive tried many times. You might want to look into interacting with a JAVA applet that interacts with the scanner for you. Check out jtwain.

RE: [flexcoders] Can Flex record audio locally?
You can definitely show the sound wave in flex without any 3rd party tools. Take a look at this: http://blog.benstucki.net/?id=18 Getting access to the raw sound data is a different story. _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John C.

So you can't receive callbacks from .Net when the waves change, etc? Maybe even have Flex use NetStream to connect with .Net to play the live stream back. I don't know.

RE: [flexcoders] Can Flex record audio locally?
Ive looked into this same idea pretty extensively, and I have not been able to come up with a solution (without the use of Flash Media Server). My thoughts are that there has got to be a way to extend the NetStream class to get access to the actual data stream from the microphone object. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the API that gives you the slightest hint of how to do this. _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/roller/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Potter Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 11:25 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Can Flex record audio locally?

[flexcoders] Camera object
Hi Everyone, Does anyone the specifics of what defines a camera to the Camera object? Webcams work great, but what if I have other devices that stream video content? Is there a specification anywhere that states the interface/criteria that the device must adhere to in order to be detected by the flash player? Currently, I only have a webcam connected to my machine and I am wondering what else I can connect. Will a camcorder work? Will a video capture/tv decoder card work? In the windows device manager, I see my webcam listed in the Imaging devices category Does any hardware that is detected by the OS as an Imaging device work within the flash player? All feedback appreciated!
