[flexcoders] AIR write file - prepended with irregular character

Unfortunately there is an irregular character at the beginning of the file contents which does not exist in the XML. How can I prevent this ? òOpenShipments xmlns=x-schema:OpenShipments.xdr should be OpenShipments xmlns=x-schema:OpenShipments.xdr

Re: [flexcoders] Need array example
Look into using a data Model.
Populate the Model with a record of data and Bind the data entry fields
to the Model
Then, whenever you want to change the model you can use a change event
to update the Model or not.
The Model becomes your temporary storage.
mx:Model id =myModel
myField{myDataProvider.myField}/myField
/mx:Model
Then the input field gets populated automatically
mx:TextInput id=myField text = {myModel.myField}
change=updateModel(event) /
//change even will update the original data (Model) based on a condition
private function updateModel(event):void{
var obj = event.currentTarget
if(obj.text == something){
myModel[obj.id] = obj.text
}
}

[flexcoders] Adding Components from other Projects
I have a small app (A) that uses Flash Vars to control various display properties. These Vars are passed in via the URL and PHP. Its designed as a small portal to be embedded into clients' web pages. I want to build a style explore type app (B) to allow users to select a style of app A - view it dynamically, at the same time I would generate the small html code snippet in a textArea that they would copy and use to embed the portal into their web page. Is there a way I can insert the original app A into another Flex app B similar to how custom components can be dropped in, and expose the vars in app A to app B ? I would like to have these loosely coupled. Whats the best practice for accomplishing what I am after ?

produces
[object Object]=undefined for each item in the SO
if(adminSO.size 0 adminSO.data){

I also tried adding the values manually in php as in

How should It be?

Re: [flexcoders] question on text encoding
There are several JS based sanity checks out on the web that you can adopt to AS. One important factor is preserving UTF8 once you have it in Flex. All data transactions as well, should be UTF8. For example: your server-side script (bi-directionally) for UTF8 And your database should be setup for UTF8. If you are using PHP you can add iconv_set_encoding(input_encoding, UTF-8); iconv_set_encoding(output_encoding, UTF-8); iconv_set_encoding(internal_encoding, UTF-8); to the beginning of your scripts. Alternatively, you can use mySQL_query(SET NAMES UTF8) in your server-side scripts.

[flexcoders] SWF sound continues to run after display object removed ??
Using FB2 - I am loading a SWFloader with swf file provided by various clients - since we have no control over how these are produced there is no option to use localConnection to control these SWF. These are simple animations, many with sound. I understand there are methods available if the files are Flash v9 but with v8 it seems the only controls available are load and removeChild. Obviously loading and removing is not a problem but the sound plays on until finished even though the display object has been removed. Do we have any options for stopping sound from a SWFloader for v8 SWF files short of a sledge hammer ?
Re: [flexcoders] Problem sending swedish characters from flex to php (amfphp)
What I have learned is that the best practice is to enforce UTF-8 encoding at
every stage -
What I do:
Setup mySQL character set and collation to - UTF-8 unicode
I have not worked with AMFPHP but using PHP I establish UTF-8 encoded at the
beginning of all PHP scripts that handle data.
iconv_set_encoding(input_encoding, UTF-8);
iconv_set_encoding(output_encoding, UTF-8);
iconv_set_encoding(internal_encoding, UTF-8);
These are essentially the same as the mySQL_query('SET NAMES, UTF8')
WARNING: If you call the iconv_set in PHP do not also call the
mySQL_query('SET NAMES, UTF8') as this is redundant and will cause UTF8 encoded
characters to be re-endcoded to UTF8 which seriously mangles the data.
This setup is working fine though I have not tried to handle swedish but I know
it does support french without any problems.

Apparently this created a problem with the indexing of the list items creating all kinds of havoc. drag and drop did not work - clicking an item would not produce a 'selection' or create selectedItem. what a mess Once I removed the duplication the tileList performs totally as expected.

Re: [flexcoders] Looking for component to generate PDF files
I recommend PDFlib(.com) Its a robust PDF library with maturity that meets most of the requirements we have for PDF generation. Its not Open Source but worth the money - There are some open source options such as iText for Java which we used for a while until we ran into so issues. I have been happy with PDFlib and it runs on all OS. sprezzatura1 wrote: Does anyone know of a component to create graphics PDF files? We need low-level control to create lines, curves, colors, gradients, etc. This would seem to rule out AlivePDF, LiveCycle, which are text-oriented. The PDF component must run on the client, which eliminates server-based solutions like Apache FOP. It must represent the graphics as vector elements. An image of the graphics is not acceptable as it will be coarse and pixellated when the user zooms in.

Re: [flexcoders] TitleWindow and Open/Close Effect
hideEffect will not work for titleWindow.
You should create your effect and define -

Then your titleWindow close event should be
close={myEffect}
This way the effect runs and then the window closes.

The problem is, when you click Back after leaving Flex, it looks like the History Manager no longer works and it just returns you to the default/initial state instead of the saved/history state. I noticed the URL still has the state URL variables/data in it (e.g. #app=a1ceeac2-selectedIndex=4) but Flex seems to be ignoring this URL data and just loads the default/initial state. Is there a way to have Flex reload the saved state when returning from an external URL?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Viewstack problems
I found that using a bound Model component is a great solution to populating
and
updating data displayed on viewstack children.
You can update the Model and when the viewstack child is visible the modified
data will be present.
for example:
Create a Model
mx:Model id=myModel
record
FirstNameHomer/FirstName
/record
/mx:Model
Add a text input to a viewstack child canvas
mx:TextInput text={myModel.FirstName} /
Then modify model using AS
myModel.FirstName = Bart
You can also bind your Model to an ArrayCollection, XML, or XMLListCollection
data source to populate it initially.
mx:Model id=myModel
record
FirstName{myDataSource.FirstName}/FirstName
/record
/mx:Model

First lets explain the problem:
A viewstack normally doesn't create all it's children, but only the
visible ones. This has been done in an ateempt to minimize the
startuptime of your application.
Possible solution:
1. Ask yourself if you really need to write data on something that is
not visible. It's not like someone is going to notice it...
Try if you could use the initialize/show-events of the child itself to
do this.
2. If you can't delegate the writing, and you do have to write to an
invisible component. Do as Josh suggested and set the creationPlicy of
the viewstack and its children to all. This should let the viewstack
create it's children, even if they're not visible.

I tried this to begin with by creating a canvas with rounded corners and putting another canvas as a bar at the top and bottom which was a darker color. The inner canvases both bled outside the rounded corners though so I ended up with a square corner again. Secondly I tried 1 canvas for the middle with border sides set to left right and 1 canvas at the top and bottom with a fill color and with rounded corners. I set border sides on the top one to left top right. This worked in so far as I had a solid border going round the edge of the box but the fill in the top and bottom canvases had rounded corners at all 4 corners, not just the 2 corners where there were actually corners. The obvious way to do it is to have an image as a background with rounded corners and shadows as part of the image, I'd rather do it with styles if I could though.

Re: [flexcoders] There has been an I/O Error: Error #2038

[flexcoders] Re: ColorPicker colorField
I'm not having much luck either.
My colorField is derived from e4x formatted result to query of a
colorChart table. Here are all the particulars.
mx:ColorPicker x=271 y=352 width=47 height=52
change=colorize(Number(colorPicker.value))
id=colorPicker dataProvider={colorsList}
colorField=HEX
columnCount=6
swatchHeight=50
swatchWidth=50
labelField=RGB/
Here is a sample record

dateStamp2007-09-24/dateStamp
R204/R
G102/G
B0/B
HEX0xCC6600/HEX
/record
defining the dataProvider to the colorPicker does produce the correct
number of color swatches but does not use the color value from the
designated colorField.
What am I missing here ?

[flexcoders] TileList problem - here we go again - drag/drop error

Re: [flexcoders] Re: ColorPicker colorField
I used a workaround as follows that allowed me to overcome this bug
private function setColorField():void{
var L = colorsList
var cArr:Array = new Array()
for(var i:int = 0; i L.length();i++){
cArr.push(L[i].HEX.toString())
}
myColorPicker.dataProvider = cArr;
}

[flexcoders] Anomalies with ViewStacks
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced weird behavior with viewstacks and their children. I have had several instances where a list, dataGrid or TileList placed on a canvas (viewstack child) would become somewhat disabled - For example: my last particular case was a TileList that performed as expected during development but then at one point the selectedIndex property totally disappeared, no longer would it allow you to select any item in the list. I copied the same TileList to a new component and it worked flawlessly. I chalked it up to corruption and replaced the bad viewstack canvas with a separate component (canvas) containing the TileList. I have seen this several times on a couple of different projects. Has anyone else run across this issue ? I wonder if its related to where the TileList is built - directly on a viewstack canvas versus built in a separate component and then added to the viewstack ?

Re: [flexcoders] TileList Binding Issue
I ran into the same issue and never was able to resolve it. The only way I could force the TileList to refresh was to force it to re- render using a resize effect. - made the list 0 width and then resize reversed back to original width. I was using drag and drop to populate one TileList from another and then editing items in the new list. None of the suggestions from several experts made any difference.

Hi Everyone,
I have been using a master XML file containing about 120 usernames
and additional information. Currently using custom renderers and a
datagrid, I am displaying all of the users. What I would like to do
is add buttons along the top of the datgrid to filter this XML into
4 - 5 different groups based on a category designation in the XML. My
question about this is what is the best practice way to do this?
Should I create a new XMLListCollection that filters the master list
for each of the categories or can I add e4x filtering directly into
the databinding property of the datagrid using actionscript and a
custom event when one of the filter buttons is pressed. I have not
been able to get this second method to work so I am unsure if this is
possible.
(this is what I have tried to do in the datagrid tag dataProvider
= {userXML.(category=='guest')})
Thanks for any help and guidance
Sincerely,
Don

Re: [flexcoders] [SOLVED] itemRenderer null object error
After experimenting I found the solution was to change the event trigger from
initialize to render.
Happy to have resolved the problem but still puzzled why initialize worked
for
one itemRenderer and not the other since from all appearances the
implementations are identical ???

Maybe I've a little naive but I like making nearly everything in
actionscript 3, especially itemRenderers. Then, you can handle all the
positioning and styles in the updateDisplayList function if you want.
This generally follows the Adobe approach to it as well. I say start
with looking over Adobe code for itemRenderers, and see where you need
to add your code to make it do what you want.
In the end you avoid listening for events, and not knowing what event
is going to fire in what occasion.

Re: [flexcoders] Struggle with TileList refresh

Subject: [flexcoders] Struggle with TileList refresh
I have a tileList that does not update its itemRenderer when the
dataProvider is changed. In one scenario I have a drag and drop to the
TileList that always updates the dataProvider (XMLList) but will not
reflect the change in the display. I can force a refresh by iterating
over the XMLList like so after a drag/drop event
**workaround***
var n = screensList.length()
for(var i:int=0; i n; i++){
IList(navScreens.dataProvider)[i].displaySeq = i
}
Okay that works, the TileList gets refreshed, although I would expect
there is something I am missing that would do this automatically.
Scenario 2
I created a new state that presents a small editing window to change
the data for items in the same TileList - this works fine for changing
the data directly in the dataProvider(XMLList). When the state is
returned to baseState the TileList once again does not refresh - If I
click on the item just edited and reopen the editor all the changes
appear in the editor window !. Trying the workaround used in Scenario
1 does not refresh the list.
Is there not a fool-proof method to force TileList to always reflect a
change in its dataProvider ?

Re: [flexcoders] Struggle with TileList refresh
Yes I think my XML is well formed - not sure how to trace the overrides set
data()
Interestingly I did find that if I change the TileList display dimensions to be
very small then restore to original size this obviously forces the itemRenderer
to refresh - there's gotta be a better way to force it without using a resize
effect.

Re: [flexcoders] REPOST - Character encoding in a DataGrid
Theres a good article about Best Practices to prevent non-standard characters. http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/quotes-in-html.html Basically they say use UTF-8 consistently. On the data input side we filter to trap irregularities and then likewise use UTF-8 on the presentation side. Another thing to consider is using consistent fonts for both input and output - whenever possible use the same for both cases. This way any irregularities would hopefully be apparent to the user as they enter them. Biggest problem we see if when users copy for Windows (M$) applications into forms - this is usually how non-standard characters get introduced. The article above explains why.

Actually I want an XML formatted result from the server. What I don't want is for the rich text to be interpreted as an XML string when applying it to the text control as htmlText. All the white space in the XML string gets rendered as white space in the text control while it does render the text as HTML.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Storing / retrieving rich text
Can you share a sample of the XML content that you bind to your text control ? For now I have stripped the XML formatting (i.e. newlines and indents - rich Text tags remain in place) to achieve the desired results with AS. Otherwise my process is very much as you describe yours and works fine for now. Are you writing rich text back to your data source ? Are you implicitly adding the !CDATA ? wrapper or is this wrapper automated ?

Re: [flexcoders] Filter using ComboBox HeaderRenderer in DataGrid
headerRenderer probably behaves the same as
itemRenderers in that they are children of the
parent document from which they spring
In that case you would refer to the actionScript
in the parent document using the parent prefix
this.parentDocument.myActionScript();

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Drag/Drop - Datagrid. Target is off?
I have a drag drop issue that is somewhat related to this perhaps there is a common cause. I have a new popup (canvas) with drag / drop from List to a Canvas. On drag enter the red x indicating will not accept the drop shows well into the actual acceptable drop zone. I realized that that the 'drop zone x coordinate is offset by the same x offset of the popup canvas. The quick fix was to remove the x offset for the popup but I would like to know if there is a solution to allow for the centered popup window with drag and drop.

The direct replacement(was in AS2 as well) is bracket notation, which

If befor you had:
var oMyObject:Obect = eval(myString + myVar);
Change it to:

from an earlier post about this topic:
You need to roll it on your own. You could split the given path into
its parts and try to evaluate one piece after the other until you come
to the end.
public function eval( scope : Object, path : String ) : Object
{
if( path == null ) return null;
var result : Object = scope;
var parts : Array = path.split('.');
while( result != null parts.length 0 )
{
var part : String = parts.shift();
result = result[ part ];
}
return result;
}
Untested code, but hopefully you get the point. Maybe you need to add
some exception handling, when you try to access non existing
properties.

Thanks Steve for explaining exactly the root cause. What method would you recommend to test if the result is an array or an object ? Steve Cox wrote: When a result contains only 1 object Flex converts it to an Object not an ArrayCollection. Therefore your myListRequest.lastResult.records.record is an object and won't have the .length property. When you receive more than 1 record it will be an ArrayCollection of objects. You'll need to check the type of myListRequest.lastResult.records.record before you do any work with it.
