Subject: [flexcoders] Working with date/Time in FB
There's something I'm not completely understanding yet. I've coded
around it but I'm not feeling comfortable with my solution.
My FB4 app links up with CF9 and I'm working with dates and times.
When I pull up a date from CF9 into a FB4 datagrid the time shows off by
one hour. Eg.
2010-06-01 23:30:00 is in my MySQL DB (11:30pm). When I load the time
from CF9 to a FB4 dataGrid it shows 2010-06-02 as the date and 12:30:00
as the time so the day advances because the time is one hour ahead.
My initial thought is that it's something to do with either the timezone
or day light savings time. Right now I just set a variable that I call
DST, set it to -1 and then subtract it from the date before I manipulate
the date and time.
Even getting the UTC date/time then using the timezone still gets it off
one hour without accounting for DST (that's why I think I'm dealing with
daylight savings time)
Can anyone confirm this or shed any light on what is going on? I don't
want FB to worry about date and time; I want to do all of this through
CF9 on the server side. I don't want to worry if the user has their
computer set correctly for their timezone and daylight savings time. I
just want FB to display the time it pulls directly from the CF9 object I
provide it.
Thanks a ton.

Re: [flexcoders] How to align label text to the left in Spark Button (no textAlign style)?
Hi Judah,
We also use custom skins a lot along Flex 4 components, but when
particular style is marked on base class as excluded with meta-tag
[Exclude] there is no way to re-include this style back in base class
descendant.
Mxmlc compiler will continue to complain about style being excluded
for the component.
Luckily, in this case we can extend LinkButton from ButtonBase, and
voila, textAlign style is back for the Spark LinkButton.

My example was mainly for illustrative purposes on how to pull in and set a
style in your skin from CSS. In my experience so far I've had to extend
almost all the controls to get the look and feel we want. This would have
been a lot of work in Flex 3 but with skinning in FDK 4 (yeah i said it -

Hi joaoak, Right, now I see what your problem is. 'commentsList.scroller.verticalScrollBar.maximum' does not return a new changed correct value within onCollectionChange event handler. You have plenty of options what to do, all of them can lead to cul-de-sac. For example, you can calculate a new value of maximum by youself by substracting: commentsList.scroller.viewport.contentHeight - commentsList.scroller.viewport.height Have a look at event listeners for PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE and ResizeEvent.RESIZE events dispatched from viewport set inside source code of ScrollBarBase.as and VScrollBar.as classes for better understanding when maximum value is calculated in Scroller component, -- Best regards, Andriy Panas On 18 February 2010 18:57, joaoak joao.sale...@webfuel.pt wrote: Andriy: commentsList.scroller.verticalScrollBar.value = commentsList.scroller.verticalScrollBar.maximum This works properly when called by the user (since, at the time of the button click, the List has finished updating itself). -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Alternative FAQ location: https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=942dbdc8-e469-446f-b4cf-1e62079f6847 Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: MP3 or any audio encoder?
Hi Judah, What server do you use to store locally the recorded audio stream? I believe that by default the recorded audio file from the microphone will be stored in FLV file with sound encoded using NellyMoser Asao Codec, not MPEG-1 Audio Layer (MP3) format. In the past it was very difficult to find a cheap and legal solution to convert the sound from NellyMoser Asao Codec to MP3 codec, thankfully looks like those times are gone now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nellymoser_Asao_Codec#Use_in_other_technology Do you record the sound with Flash player 10 or Flash Player 9 and below?

I intermittently am not able to paste special characters into a textarea. I also created a different project entirely and never experience the issue. My guess is that the compiler is misbehaving getting stuck. Any help MUCH appreciated Cheers Tracy ,___

Re: [flexcoders] Possible to change border thickness of textInput in error state?
Hi G, I assume you are on Flex 3 SDK, then I suggest you to set focusThickness style on textInput propety, not very elegant solution, because it also influences the thinkness of the focus. If setting focusThinkness is not an option for you, then I suggest you to extend standard TextInput component to include the support for the skin for error state, see for example those great samples by Lejnieks Show error skin for Flex 3 checkbox http://www.lejnieks.com/2009/04/06/skinning-checkbox-with-error-state/ Show error skin for Flex 3 combobox http://www.lejnieks.com/2009/04/06/skinning-combobox-with-error-state/ If you are already moved along to Flex 4 SDK, then your task will be easy, you do not have to extend standard components, just create extra skin with custom border defined for error state for Spark TextInput component, see source file of ErrorSkin.as as starting point http://www.airia.cn/FLEX4API/livedocs/spark/skins/default/ErrorSkin.html http://www.airia.cn/FLEX4API/livedocs/spark/skins/default/ErrorSkin.html -- Best regards, Andriy Panas 2009/10/21 G gmonie...@yahoo.com I know you can change the errorColor of a textinput, but I have found nothing in the docs, or online about how to change the thickness of that border (when not in focus).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DateFormatter and dynamic resource management errror
Hi Ben,
I was just wondering, do you really need to recompile SWC file
'framework_rb.swc' in order for updated values in *.properties files
(e.g SharedResources.properties, controls.properties, etc) to become
available in the localized Flex application?
From my experience - I've edited SharedResources.properties and
controls.properties files, put them into locale/{locale} folder, e.g
locale/fr_FR, include this folder into Flex build path, then updated
Flex mxmlc compiler settings in Flex Builder to include this locale
-locale=fr_FR and every localized String resource from
SharedResources.properties and controls.properties files is visible in
resulted Flex application.
Tried with Flex 3.2 and Flex 3.4 SDKs, everytime localized
resources in SharedResources.properties and controls.properties files
are available in Flex application without a need for
framework_rb.swc to be recompiled.

Best regards,
Andriy Panas
Maybe all this will help someone else here looking for a solution to this
problem (and maybe some kindly bots will run across it at some point too).
In short, you have to compile your own SWCs for each of the languages, and
not just the resource library SWFs every other instruction set tells you
about.

[flexcoders] Adding new class definition to TEAFlexCustom.xml file
Hi all,
This is the question which is related to automated testing with HP
QuickTest 9.5 and Flash application built on top of Adobe Flex 3.2
SDK.
For example, I had created a new class that extends from HBox, say ExtendedHBox.
--
public class ExtendedHBox extends HBox
{
public function ExtendedHBox()
{
super();
dispatchEvent(new Event(customEvent));
}
}
--
This class dispatches custom event that I would like to instrument,
typed as customEvent.
In order to do so, I am adding to the class definition file for QTP
called TEAFlex.xml file a new entry titled ExtendedHBox:
ClassInfo Name=ExtendedHBox GenericTypeID=frame Extends=FlexBox
SupportsTabularData=true
My question is
Why should I specify again all instrumented events for parent HBox
component like flash.events.MouseEvent.CLICK and
flash.events.FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE in newly added entry
ClassInfo Name=ExtendedHBox?
If I would not do that I will receive the following error:
Error: Unable to find automation method 'flash.events.MouseEvent'
for class 'name: ExtendedHBox superClassName: FlexBox
If this is feature as designed I simply do not get what the
purpose of @Extends attribute value for ClassInfo declaration for
QTP class definition file.

Re: [flexcoders] Font loaded by StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(fontName, true) resets any new text formatting set via setTextFormat
Hi Manish, First of all, getTextField returns an IUITextField, and there's no method called setTextFormat on IUITextField. So you're casting the object to its actual type, UITextField, and then calling the setTextFormat method on it. That's not supported. Actually, when applying bold style to the text I am following the same approach from standard component mx:RichTextEditor, inside RichTextEditor.as, line 449 some unknown to me Flex SDK engineer is calling setTextFormat method like that textArea.getTextField().setTextFormat exactly the same way I do ;) If you want to get around that, it should be okay to pass false as the second argument to loadStyleDeclarations as long as your external stylesheet really does not affect any existing objects on the screen. Thanks, Manish, from now on I will load all external pre-compiled fonts into my Flex applications with update parameter set to FALSE to avoid cascading immediate style changes through DisplayObjectList hierarchy. -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Andriy Panas a.pa...@gmail.com
[flexcoders] Font loaded by StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(fontName, true) resets any new text formatting set via setTextFormat
Dear all,
I have TextArea component on the Stage with embedded font applied,
then at the runtime I set a bold style to a text inside TextArea to
bold via setTextFormat(newTextFormat) API.
Then, I load at the runtime compiled font from CSS - Vera.swf and my
bold formatting is lost immediately after external font finishes
loading.
Notice, that the second parameter in
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(fontName, update) call is set in
the code to true.
When I change this boolean parameter to false - then I will not
witness that my bold formatting is lost after compiled font finishes
loading at the runtime.
My question, why when update parameter is set to true, I will loose
all my text formatting changes made at the runtime?

If so, I could do my own work to copy to clipboard.

Re: [flexcoders] Does UIComponent.measureHTMLText(htmlText) method takes TextFormat.blockIndent value into the account when calculating width value of TextLineMetrics object?
Hi Gordon, I've found the submission patch at Adobe JIRA bug-base you've been referring in a previous message: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-16641 While I fully welcome this fix, it does not suit my needs precisely. I've studied source code of mx:Text private function measureUsingWidth(widthValue) and that was closer to solve my task. I've reused this method in my custom Text component to take into account the values of blockIndent values specified to all TextFormat applied to the textField under the question while measuring the width for this component in override protected measure method. To return the Array of all TextFormats applied to the textField I rely on undocumented Flash Player API - flash.text.TextRun http://nondocs.blogspot.com/2007/05/flashtexttextrun.html - is it OK to rely on undocumented Flash Player API in our projects? Then, I calculate the maximum BLOCKINDENT value within all TextFormats objects found for the textField and then I make sure in my |measure method for my Text component to take this maximum BLOCKINDENT value into the consideration, e.g measuredWidth = Math.max(MIN_TEXT_HEIGHT, Math.ceil(textField.textWidth) + UITextField.TEXT_WIDTH_PADDING + maxParagraphIndentValue); 2008/11/4 Gordon Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]: It sounds like a Player quirk that the Flex framework needs to work around. I think a fix went in to the measure() method of UITextFormat recently for a similar problem with 'indent'. You should file a bug.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Tree - Drag Drop - prevent drop into folder
Hi there,
I consider the task of preventing drag and drop operations on certain tree
nodes when using Tree component shipped with Flex 2 SDK to be not trivial at
all.
The internal code of Tree component is complex and not very well documented
inside the code.
I would recommend you as as starting point to create a custom event handler
for onDragOver event to prevent drag operation on certain tree node types,
e.g:
---
private function onMyTreeDragOver(event : DragEvent) : void {
. skipped code
//forbid dragging on itself
if (draggedItem == hoverTarget) {
DragManager.showFeedback(DragManager.NONE);
myTree.hideDropFeedback(event);
return;
}
// forbid dragging of top level of the hierarchy
var hoverTargetParentXML : XML =
myTree.getParentItem(hoverTarget);
if (hoverTargetParentXML == null) {
DragManager.showFeedback(DragManager.NONE);
myTree.hideDropFeedback(event);
return;
}
. skipped code
}
---
But when you start to rely on 'myTree.calculateDropIndex' to find out what
tree item is currently placed under moved draggedItem (I called this tree
item as 'hoverTarget' in the code above), you quickly become unsatisfied
with results that 'myTree.calculateDropIndex' yields.
May be I will write more on my blog on the difficulties that I had
encountered during performing the task of preventing certain drag and drop
operation with Flex 2.0.1 SDK Tree component if there will be some
considerable interest from the public.

[flexcoders] Flex 2 SDK: Drag and drop node withing Tree control- how to get reference to a new parent node for the dragged node?
Hi all,
From looking inside of Tree.as class, I got the understanding that
Tree's dataProvider is updated with a new position of draggedNode
inside event handler for dragComplete event called
'dragCompleteHandler'.
Thus, I've subscribed to dragComplete event to work with the
updated copy of Tree's dataProvider.
Unfortunately, I had found out that I cannot get an access to
'draggedItems' Array based on data from DragEvent inside custom
dragComplete event handler.
My custom event handler function listing:
-
private function onDragComplete(event : DragEvent) : void {
event.preventDefault();
var draggedItems : Array =
(event.dragSource.dataForFormat(treeItems) as Array);
for each (var draggedItem : XML in
draggedItems) {
var parentTarget : XML =
tree.getParentItem(draggedItem);
trace (onDragComplete,
draggedItems.length);
}
}
-
The trace command inside this function outputs that 'draggedItems'
Array length is 0, when I successfully finish the drag operation
within a Tree with dragged Item.
When I subscribe to dragDrop event, I have an access to
'draggedItems' Array without the problems - you can check it by
yourself by running the code below.
Full MXML listing code follows:
---

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2 SDK: Drag and drop node withing Tree control- how to get reference to a new parent node for the dragged node?
I've came to the same solution today.
in my custom dragDrop event handler I store dragged items into
private class variable called 'draggedItems':
private var draggedItems : Array
.
private function onDragDrop(event : DragEvent) : void {
draggedItems = event.source.dataForFormat(treeItems) as Array)
}
And then I can do the following:
.
private function onDragComplete(event : DragEvent) : void {
event.preventDefault();
for each (var draggedItem : XML in draggedItems) {
var parentTarget : XML = tree.getParentItem(draggedItem);
// ready to call the delegate to store the new position of
dragged node in the database
storeDraggedNodeInDatabase([EMAIL PROTECTED], draggedItem)
}
You'll probably have to cache selectedItems

Re: [flexcoders] Preventing default onClick-behaviour in List-Component
Hi Alex, What are API design considerations behind of making most of mx.events.ListEvent events not cancelable? I just wanted to use event.preventDefault in my custom event handler for ListEvent.ITEM_DOUBLE_CLICK event, but I could not. That is because those events are not cancelable. Are you just trying to reset what the selectedIndex was? I'd just store the last good one somewhere. -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Andriy Panas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[flexcoders] Re: Immediate setting selectedIndex to 0 on mx:Tree after changing to new dataProvider does not selects a first node in the list (although it works with mx:List as advertised)
Another workaround is to call tree1.validateNow() before setting the
selectedIndex as adviced here in workaround notes:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-11424
Workaround (if any):
Call List.validateNow() after changing the data provider but before

Hi Flexcoders,

My use case is as follows:
1) At the start of the application, I set dataproviders of
XMLListCollection type to 2 different UI controls on stage (mx:Tree

It works all right for both controls.
2) Then I switch dataproviders at the runtime for both UI controls by

mx:List displays the selection correctly, while mx:Tree does not.

[flexcoders] Re: ListEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END is being wrongly dispatched twice if the corresponding event handler includes mx:Alert
I have found out about ListEventReason class and that class
instance of ListEvent type has reason property of ListEventReason
type.
We change 'onItemEditingEnd' event handler in the following way:
private function onItemEditingEnd(event : ListEvent) : void {
// Check the reason for the event.
if (event.reason == ListEventReason.CANCELLED ||
event.reason == ListEventReason.OTHER){
// Do not update cell.
return;
}
Alert.show(I am error message);
}
onItemEditingEnd event handler will be still called twice,
but the Alert window will be shown only if ListEvent event.reason is
equal to ListEventReason.NEW_ROW

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flash/Flex Event collision on TextField input
Hi Alex,
Right, sorry for the confusion, my sample code a few posts above that
featured mx:TextArea was not a very precise example for the problem with
event name collision.
My exact setup involves custom component that extends UIComponent, it is
placed inside ViewStack and it has a child of mx.core.UITextField type with
a textField's property 'type' set to TextFieldType.INPUT.
That's approximately how I do create instance of UITextField in my custom
component:
1. override protected function createChildren(): void
2. {
3. super.createChildren();
4. uiTextField=new UITextField();
5. uiTextField.selectable = true;
6. uiTextField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
7. addChild(uiTextField);
8. }
9.
My use case is to allow entering text at the run-time inside textFields.
I do not want to use mx:TextArea for this particular use case because :
a) I do not need scroll bars to appear when the long text is entered (I
prefer UITextField to auto-size);
b) White standard background of mx:TextArea is redundant for me (although the
style for the TextArea's background can be tweaked to the design needs).
Because I use UITextField, not mx:TextArea, I have to take care by myself
about stopping Event.CHANGE emitted from the nutshell of '
flash.text.TextField' class from propagation.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flash/Flex Event collision on TextField input
Hi all,
I want to provide a little bit more information for the solution for this
issue, because I was stumbled upon this issue today and thankfully to this
topic at Flexcoders mailing list I had received a solid understanding of
this particular problem.
Imagine that in your setup mx:TextArea is a child of mx:ViewStack or
mx:Accordion container.
When the content of the TextArea is changed, then Event.CHANGE change
this emitted, but it is actually an bubbling event and it reaches the level
of the parent container when it can collide with the same event name
mx.events package-detail.html.IndexChangedEvent.CHANGE change that is
actually emitted by ViewStack itself.
Most simple solution to this situation is to forbid event bubbling for
you mx:TextArea component, code follows:
mx:TextArea id=myTextArea
function onCreationComplete() : void {
myTextArea.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, onTextChanged);
}
private function onTextChanged(event : Event) : void {
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
}

Does anyone know how to add more fonts to the drop down selection of a
RichTextEditor ?
Re: [flexcoders] RichTextEditor - Customizing the look
Hi Austin, Click F3 on mx:RichTextEditor (RTE component) tag in Flex Builder 2 and study its source code to better understand its behavior. You can skinn toolbar buttons with a new graphics easily and decorate RTE's container with new CSS styles. But if you'd like to have a complete control over the layouting of buttons controls for RTE component and its overall look, I would suggest to copy-paste all the code from mx:RichTextEditor into your own brand new RTE class and then feel free to modify it.

I want to call the bold/ital/underline text directly through the richtexteditor class without having to use the stock component's look and feel. Mainly just use the richtexteditor textarea and then use my own buttons to input and modify text with my own look. I've done a subclass of the richttexteditor class -- however I am completely unfamiliar with the component itself and how it binds the buttons to it. Unfortunately it's not very configurable. -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Andriy Panas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[flexcoders] How to properly use embedded fonts with font face HTML tag?
Hi all,
My setup to load embedded fonts into Flex 2.0.1 based app is as follows:
I declare 3 fonts that I want to embed in mx:Style tag:
mx:Style
@font-face {
src:url(assets/fonts/arial.ttf);
fontFamily: Arial;
}
/* CSS file */
@font-face {
src:url(assets/fonts/pala.ttf);
fontFamily: Palatino;
}
/* CSS file */
@font-face {
src:url(assets/fonts/trebuc.ttf);
fontFamily: Trebuchet;
}
/mx:Style
Later in the code, I use the following function to assign the HTML
tagged text to my mx:Text field instance 'textField':
--
private function assignText() : void {
textField.setStyle(fontFamily, Trebuchet);
textField.htmlText = TEXTFORMAT LEADING='2'
+
P ALIGN='LEFT'FONT FACE='Trebuchet'
SIZE='18' COLOR='#0B333C'
LETTERSPACING='0' KERNING='0'Example line of text/FONT/P +
P ALIGN='LEFT'FONT FACE='Palatino'
SIZE='18' COLOR='#0B333C'
LETTERSPACING='0' KERNING='0'Example line of text/FONT/P +
P ALIGN='LEFT'FONT FACE='Arial' SIZE='18'
COLOR='#0B333C'
LETTERSPACING='0' KERNING='0'Example line of text/FONT/P +
/TEXTFORMAT;
}
--
And it works! It works because I change the style 'fontFamily' for
Text textField.setStyle(fontFamily, Trebuchet) prior to setting
value to the htmlText field!
All 3 lines of text are correctly displayed using glyphs from 3
various embedded fonts, but if I remove the line
textField.setStyle(fontFamily, Trebuchet) from the code, then the
text is displayed using device fonts, not embedded ones.
Why is that?
Why do I have change the style 'fontFamily' of Text component prior to
setting value of the 'htmlText' property of mx:Text in order to get
embedded fonts to be working?
And the attribute value for the style fontFamily should the valid
identificator of any of 3 fonts successfully loaded - Trebuchet,
Palatino or Arial.

[flexcoders] Problem: FileReference onComplete event handler fires too soon - not properly waiting for HTTP status code 200
Dear all, We are trying to use Flash 8's FileReference API to upload the big media files in our web app. In our application we upload big media file first to some transient server and then immediately in the same uploading process we start moving this file to Amazon S3 file storage server. The whole uploading process for big media file can be accomplished within 100 seconds, 200 seconds or even 10 000 seconds on slow connections. Important note: Only after the WHOLE upload process finishes, HTTP status code 200 is sent from the server to the Flash player. Unfortunately, for some reason, FileReference 'onComplete' event handler ALWAYS fires after aprox.10-15 sec of time, regardless the fact that HTTP status code 200 is sent from the server after 100 seconds, 200 seconds and even 10 000 seconds. Why is that? Accordingly to Flash 8 livedocs, FileReference onComplete event handler fires ONLY when Flash Player has received an HTTP status code of 200 from the server . http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=2215.html -- With flex regards, Andriy Panas
[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid with multiple rowheaders / colheaders - Flex 3?
Hi, However, i've still failed to find people extending the DataGrid component to allow for multiple row/column headers and groups and row/column footers. I would like you to clarify, what do you mean by having multiple column headers for DataGrid. You can use item renderer for column header to place more than one control inside Datagrid's column header. As for supporting footer in Datagrid, you can find this post helpful: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2007/04/datagrid_footers.html#comments - With best regards, JabbyPanda

Re[2]: [flexcoders] Eclipse 3.2.2
Hello Dave, DC I just did it and there are no issues to speak of thus far. This is probably OT, but I always wonder how do you install Flex Builder Eclipse plugin (and other Eclipse plugins too) when you do upgrade to the new version of Eclipse? Do you: a) reinstall every Eclipse plugin manually from the scratch from Software update menu; b) just copy plugins and features folders to the location of new version of Eclipse IDE; c) install new Eclipse IDE on the top of old Eclipse IDE installation folder and this makes a trick. -- Best regards, Andriymailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [flexcoders] Links defined in Label or Text htmlText doesn't work upon the first click when in TabNavigator
Hello Sergey, Set mx:TabNavigator width=100% height=100% focusEnabled=false I guess you witness this behaviour because mx:Tabnavigator with a first click over Label only gains a application focus, and only with a second click Label a href action is fired... SK Moving this Label instance outside the TabNavigator causes correct behavior. -- Best regards, Andriymailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[flexcoders] Re: pop ups again
Hi everyone,
I cannot help you Roman to solve your problem, but I am able to
CONFIRM your bug( feature) with FlexEvent.SHOW event not dispatched
from popUp window instance in modal mode if it is being shown for the
second and for the next time and so on.
In the attached sample application try to open both kinds of popup
windows (NORMAL, MODAL) by clicking buttons and then close open popup
windows several times with a mouse click on popup's window surface.
onShow event handler for FlexEvent.SHOW is being executed only for
when NORMAL popup window becomes visible at the screen.
