Re: [flexcoders] handling events from embedded swf assets
Its definitely possible. of course you have to register to listen to it. Its Interesting the way loading and unloading of swfs work in flash9. You probably already know, but the swf is unloaded after it is loaded automatically. watch the console. to clean it up all you need to do is remove the references to what's been loaded in.

In the flex app I have an AssetImporter class that has bindable prop like so: [Bindable] [Embed(source=assets/swf/someSwf.swf, symbol=someMC)] public var someSprite:Class; Now on the end frame of the someMC, its dispatching a new Event(movieClipEnded, true, true); I want to be able to listen to this from the Flex app and load a different embedded asset after the event is dispatched. On the app I am listening for an event of the same type which is expected to be bubbling up through the display architecture. a) is this possible, it doesn't seem likely since Flex seems to be ignoring it and the mc fails to stop() b) if so, what is the syntax for doing so?

Sounds like you're binding to just the ArrayCollection instance variable and not taking the second step and listening for the collection events. This should only happen in a custom component because all of the Flex 2 dataProvider-based components handle this correctly. In a custom component/class, if you just bind myAC the binding only fires when the instance in the myAC variable changes (when you do new ArrayCollection()...). The right thing to do (if you want dataProvider-like functionality) is to add a collection event listener to your dataProvider in its setter and then handle those events. If this is happening in apps that are only vanilla Flex components (nothing custom), then there must be something wrong with the wiring in your app somewhere... Troy.

that if I just hit ctrl-Z to undo it would put all the imports back,
then if I edited the file and did an organize imports it would
organize them correctly. I also remember seeing other weird things

So if you're not running the latest beta definitely try that.

[flexcoders] Modified version of Myriad Web Pro
Its seems the when you use 'Myriad Pro' in a Flex app it appears 'raised' in all your components. Its actually due the the glyph positioning in the font face. Its seems that the FlexSDK has supplied a version of 'Myriad web pro' where the glyph position was closer to that of Verdana and looks nice used in flex apps. Can anyone supply me with a similarly modified version of 'Myriad Web Pro Condensed' ?

My first language was in High School, Burroughs B200 machine language No assembly required. The question is not how best to teach yourself Flex, but how best to become a programmer. Is Flex the right tool for this? I think it is as good as any, although the event driven model might make some things more challenging (it still bugs the crap outa me from time to time). I believe that teaching yourself the discipline of programming is much more important than whatever language you use to do it. To do this you may want to start by analyzing everyday things that you do or see. For example the next time you go into a restaurant or store, look at how things are laid out and look for the patterns in workflow. Create a game out of how you would improve the systems you see. To do this you will need to break things down into their simplest actions and decisions, and then put them back together. Once you do this a while you will start thinking in modular ways that will help as you develop systems. For me, the best way to teach myself a new language is to read a little and check out some online tutorials until they put me to sleep, and do a Hello World. Once through this phase, (call it the first 2 dates) it's time to do a real program. This is the third date, you take the language to a drive-in, and see whether you can get to third base, or perhaps a home run. If the passion still burns the next day, the next step is to move in together, start a real project. This can be small, but something that is real. I am converting a large inquiry system written in ASP to Flex for my first project, and other than fighting over the Flex's nasty habits of leaving the top off the toothpaste, and leaving its things all around it's going well.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Managing States and Cairngorm
It would be interesting to see a PureMVC vs Cairngorm implementation comparison. But i believe this is a general MVC question. The way i see the responsibilities in this case is you have 2 views. (n) Components and 1 Mediator. The mediator would be responsible for updating your component setters and routing its dispatched events. Your controller updates your model after receiving notification from the view mediator. The model would store your property and would have the Mediator 'bound' to that property. regards, Bjorn On 22/11/2007, at 8:57 AM, Sebastian Zarzycki wrote: Can you elaborate a bit more on this?

Re: [flexcoders] cairngorm design question , need suggestions
Hi Yigit, To execute commanderB from commanderA you need to dispatch eventB from commanderA. You can either pass the instance as an argument of eventB or reference via the model in commandB. regards, Bjorn On 14/11/2007, at 9:44 AM, yigit boyar wrote: hi all; we have a GUI built with flex using cairngorm microarchitechture. the GUI is quite complex, and there is an xml schema (xsd) that represents the VO structure. We prepared a code generator(using AIR) which parses the xsd and creates vo's,commanders,events,modelfrontcontroller, so we just handcode the view. (Vo's are serializable to XML and deserializable from XML , all auto generated -sth like jaxb of java- ) the GUI was good for version1 but the XSD had to change a lot and we had to insert hand written code into commaders and we started to have performance issues. now there is a new XSD, GUI will be recreated and we want to upgrade our code generator to support the changes (more clever commanders more specific events!); so here comes my design question : every class has it's own commander. and sometimes, when an event is being executed, another commander should also work(sth more must be done), and there is a specific event for that operation too. (e.g. deletion of an instance of class A requires the update of the instances of class B ) in this situation, 1 should commanderA dispatch an event to update class B instance or 2 should commanderA call commanderB's execute function with the needed event as argument or 3 should commarderA edit B vo's . (we don't prefer this cuz it violates the generic style of our code cairngorm) the second option is more efficient since it does not need to dispatch the event and wait for it to be caught; but we wonder whether it violates the cairngorm design pattern rules. this is a really important project, so we'll be very pleased by taking your comments.

The example component used in the session was a custom carousel component where objects would tween along a circular path. The source for this example class was never released, but I am fairly certain that the math for the path was done entirely in Flex, and it was not using a Flash CS3 generated path. The movement was nice and smooth. I'm trying to do my own tweening along a circular path but in a flat 2d manner. I've done all the math in action script 3 to find the circular path but I am having trouble getting objects to move smoothly along the path. Basically I pick a number of points along the path and use Move effects from point to point. The more points I pick the closer it appears to be on a true circle. I've tried both manually kicking off each individual move effect from the effect end event and also putting the move effects in a sequence effect. Both methods cause the motion to be either extremely slow (if I set each move duration to be large) or pretty jerky (if I set the move duration to be very small like 0-2). It appears that there is a pause between the end of each move effect before the next move effect starts. The reason I want to do it all in code is that I want to be able to vary the radius of my circular path dynamically. Anyone have ideas on how I can get smoother motion along my path? Thanks in advance.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Trigger a function in the main applicatoin mxml from a popup window.
I guess you would have to consider coupling.
You could have your mainApp register as a listener to your popup.
dispatch an event from your popup that triggers the method in your
mainApp view.
I guess you could also register your mainApp as a 'mediator' of your
component popup.
Normally i would use an MVC architecture and my currentState would be
bound to a property on the model.

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm vs PureMVC
Hey Shaun, It took me a while to grapple with but thats how it's been explained to me. VO's. Thats it. All logic is in the commands. Now excuse me if I'm wrong and I'll be happy to be proven so.

I am wondering what makes you think that the CG models need to be dumb? Why can't your CG model be a domain model? Then a ModelLocator simply holds a reference to an object which forms part of a complex object graph. The Objects are not just simple VOs(DTOs) but have state, behaviour, event listeners and handlers. cheers, - shaun
Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm vs PureMVC
Hey Shaun, I'm not trying to play the Cairngorm Don here, but thats how i understood it. I agree with placing logic around the model, especially for work with Data-Services. As i understand 'currently' the only logic in the Model is getters and initialization of the defined structure via the Singleton. regards, Bjorn On 23/10/2007, at 2:49 PM, shaun wrote: Hey Bjorn, Bjorn Schultheiss wrote: It took me a while to grapple with but thats how it's been explained to me. VO's. Thats it. All logic is in the commands. Now excuse me if I'm wrong and I'll be happy to be proven so. Interesting, but that doesnt really meet the definition of MVC does it. I'll quote the Java BluePrints: http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/MVC-detailed.html . Model - The model represents enterprise data and the business rules that govern access to and updates of this data. Often the model serves as a software approximation to a real-world process, so simple real-world modeling techniques apply when defining the model. As you can see that is quite different from the DTO/VO pattern(which should be used for coarse grained data transfer). I'll quote the Java BluePrints again: http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/ TransferObject.html . Clients usually require more than one value from an enterprise bean. To reduce the number of remote calls and to avoid the associated overhead, it is best to use Transfer Objects to transport the data from the enterprise bean to its client. In terms of event handling well, if a VO is Bindable is that the same? Do you mean listening to the view or commands? I do make by domain objects Bindable and non Dynamic. But I'll try and give a simple example of what I meant. My Model classes handle the propertyChange event so when a proprerty of the object changes I can set a dirty flag to indicate that the object has been changed and is unsaved. I also use event listeners on a collection object within a model object. Object A has many B objects(stored in an arraycollection in object A). When a B object is added to the collection, A should be flagged as unsaved. The A object needs to know when a B object has been added or removed so it can set its own dirty flag. Object A adds a changeevent listener to its arraycollection of B objects, A handles the collection change events dispatched by the collection of B objects by setting its own dirty flag. Right or wrong, this is an approach I have used in the past. I'll quote Jesse again. http://jessewarden.com/2007/08/10-tips-for-working-with- cairngorm.html 3. Only Commands set data on the Model; you can break this, just don’t if you can help it. In Model View Controller, only the Controller sets data on the Model. In this case, the Commands are the Controller (usually), and as such, setting ModelLocator data is their job, and their job alone. If data is getting f’d up, you immediately know it’s in the Command. You never have to question “who’s setting my data, where, and when?”. I think this type of rule might be more beneficial if you have a VO only model, as it makes sure your logic is in one spot, the command class rather than the view. So it seems like all the Event/Command classes have to be created to make up for the deficit of logic in the actual Model - where it should be IMO. It seems like the Command, which is meant to be a Controller? according to the quote above (although we have a Front Controller aswell! Whats up with that picture?) is playing the role that the model should be. Seems bogus to me.. :) cheers, - shaun -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders% 40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Mock objects in AS3
Hey Dave and Adam,
That way a quick reply i sent yesterday without much thought.
Currently to convert a generic object to a typed instance i've been
using a utility provided by Darron Schall.
http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000247.cfm
basically the method looks like this,
public static function objectToInstance( object:Object, clazz:Class ):*
{
var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
bytes.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
// Find the objects and byetArray.writeObject them, adding in
the
// class configuration variable name -- essentially, we're
constructing
// and AMF packet here that contains the class information so
that
// we can simplly byteArray.readObject the sucker for the
translation
// Write out the bytes of the original object
var objBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
objBytes.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
objBytes.writeObject( object );
// Register all of the classes so they can be decoded via AMF
var typeInfo:XML = describeType( clazz );
var fullyQualifiedName:String = [EMAIL PROTECTED]().replace
( /::/, . );
registerClassAlias( fullyQualifiedName, clazz );
// Write the new object information starting with the class
information
var len:int = fullyQualifiedName.length;
bytes.writeByte( 0x10 ); // 0x10 is AMF0 for typed object (class
instance)
bytes.writeUTF( fullyQualifiedName );
// After the class name is set up, write the rest of the object
bytes.writeBytes( objBytes, 1 );
// Read in the object with the class property added and return
that
bytes.position = 0;
// This generates some ReferenceErrors of the object being
passed in
// has properties that aren't in the class instance, and generates
TypeErrors
// when property values cannot be converted to correct values (such
as false
// being the value, when it needs to be a Date instead). However,
these
// errors are not thrown at runtime (and only appear in trace ouput
when
// debugging), so a try/catch block isn't necessary. I'm not sure
if this
// classifies as a bug or not... but I wanted to explain why if you

// you might seem some TypeError or ReferenceError items appear.
var result:* = bytes.readObject();
return result;
}

Bjorn,
I have been looking at this (as I would like a mocking framework for

The the registerClassAlias() does add the alias to a given class I
can't then get anything to accept it as being of that type
- I'm not sure what the alias is, but dumping the describeType()
results shows it as an alias property on the type and not as an
implementsInterface node, which is what we need.
I may not have been fully understood what registerClassAlias though.
But it looks (ok, it's late and I'm tired so it may just be that which
is causing my negativity) as if trying to get a class to implement an
interface (or at least appear to implement an interface) dynamically
at run time is a futile effort.

Probably I should blog about my experience with this, but I am pathologically lazy and terribly selfish, so I don't have a blog. The applications I'm creating involve a lot of bidirectional server communication and real-time multiuser interaction, so using this pattern enables me to create View test doubles that use LocalConnection to communicate with a central admin testing flex app that runs test harness scripts. For example, a simple test would be: Have user 1 login, and make sure the name appears in user 2's screen. But we can essentially replicate arbitrary user interactions using this setup, and test the application end-to-end modulo Views. We can also substitute mocks for View classes to test the Controllers. I should mention that coding these mocks in AS3 is a bit of a PITA. Can anyone think of a way to create a flex mock test framework? Message me off-list please! Another advantage of this approach is that my View (i.e. MXML) classes contain very little code, just setter methods and calls to the Controller. That makes the software text for these less intimidating to graphic designers. We are actually looking for someone to help us part-time with our Flex coding. We can only afford $20 per hour right now, but email me off-list if you are interested! We are making some pretty cool applications!

Supervising Presenter http://weblogs.macromedia.com/paulw/archives/2007/10/ presentation_pa_2.cfm One of the benefits he speaks about with using this pattern is, Improved separation of concerns Following the Supervising Presenter pattern should yield an application-specific class hierarchy that is separated from the view classes, but coupled to them. Common presentation concerns can be refactored into Presenter base classes, and this should help to reduce code-duplication and improve consistency across an application. This concern is of huge importance to me as a flex dev. During dev one of the main issues i run into is what will be an 'application-specific view' as opposed to a 'reusable- component' as abstraction can be a time-consuming exercise. I've never been a fan of code behind but i think the 'Presenter' does bring in a useful and easy to implement application level of abstraction that can ease development. btw I also like his use of Binding. regards, Bjorn
[flexcoders] swc question
Just to confirm, in regards to include swc files in your swc, the docs say, In most cases, the symbols defined in the SWF file that are referenced by the application are embedded in the Flex application at compile-time. This is known as static linking. The application compiler only includes those classes that are used by your application, and dependent classes, in the final SWF file. My question, does the compiler include dependant classes from the swc that are already included in the swf, for example if UIComponent is used in the swc will it add it again to my swf unnecessarily adding to the file size? regards, Bjorn
Re: [flexcoders] swc question
Hey Pat, I was more interested of the contents of the swf that includes the swc. Say i create a custom button and compc it to swc. Then include that swc into my flex app. Can the flex compiler work out that some of the classes in my swc, are already in my flex app and therefore not 'duplicate' them in the compiled end swf? I guess i'm mainly interested in the flex framework classes. regards, Bjorn On 03/10/2007, at 1:51 PM, Patrick Lemiuex wrote: Actually, I don't know the answer to your question Bjorn but you can inspect the contents of a swc by renaming the extension to zip and then browsing the contents after you unzip it with winzip (or winrar).

you can refer to your mxml-manifest.xml file found in the {FlexSDK}/

Re: [flexcoders] Equivalent of Application.application.globalVar in a Module
Without testing, i'm pretty sure even parentApplication refers to
Application so you might be out of luck.
You could have a shell singleton and then register each module
singleton via a string reference.
so you could use something like var s:ModuleSingleton =
ShellSingleton.getInstance().getSingleton('module1');
registerSingleton();
removeSingleton();
hasSingleton();
Thats one solution, perhaps not the most elegant.

[flexcoders] Remote crossdomain issues
Hey, When i attempt to load remote assets from a remote domain and specify the port as part of the url the load seems to break. For example if i specify http://remotedomain/asset.png //works fine but http://remotedomain:8080/asset.png //dies my crossdomain file is, cross-domain-policy allow-access-from domain=* to-ports=* secure=false / /cross-domain-policy Is this a known issue? Is there a work around? regards, Bjorn

Re: [flexcoders] Can I just bypass Cairngorm events?
Hey Mike, It helps decouple the view and controller. If you hard hard-wire your view to controller you are essentially adding just logic to your view. There's been talk around 'ditching' the controller out of MVC and a lot of developers have. Check this post, http://weblogs.macromedia.com/sho/archives/2005/08/ flexflash_archi.cfm In terms of Delegates i find it a useful link between commands and remote services. Although i haven't yet applied this to FDS, or a 'producer, consumer' process. regards, Bjorn On 09/05/2007, at 1:51 PM, munkydung wrote: I've currently building a medium-large size application in Flex using Cairngorm. I've already decided not to use 'delegates'. Instead, I'm just updating the 'model' from within 'commands'. Now I'm seeing a pattern where each 'event' I create is just a container for a data structure to a 'command'. Also, it seems the mapping of 'events' is one-to-one for 'commands'. So, my question is, why not just do away with the 'events' and have views call 'command.execute()'? Someone talk me out of this... thanks, Mike
[flexcoders] Loader and cross-domain
Hey, I'm loading jpg's from a remote domain and wish to perform extract pixel data from the loaded assets. I have specified a loaderContext object in the Loader.load(). something like: var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(); lc.checkPolicyFile = true; _loader = new Loader(); _loader.load( new URLRequest(_dataProvider), lc); When the executes load process totally fails, no events are dispatched from the loader object. If i comment out the checkPolicyFile line my image loads fine. var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(); //lc.checkPolicyFile = true; _loader = new Loader(); _loader.load( new URLRequest(_dataProvider), lc); I have a crossdomain file at the root of the domain that i am loading the image from. I can see in serviceCapture that this is actually getting loaded. This is the crossdomain file i am currently testing with. ?xml version=1.0? cross-domain-policy allow-access-from domain=* / /cross-domain-policy Can anyone tell me why the remote asset does not load when i specify checkPolicyFile to equal true? regards, Bjorn

Subject: [flexcoders] Loading Fonts at runtime on OSX?
Wondering if anyone else has run into this: I'm loading fonts at
runtime via a swf that has a font embedded in it. I can't get the font
embedded on my OSX machine, so I compile the font swf on my pc and
then bring it over to my OSX machine and try to load it into the
application swf like so:
private function fontSWFLoaded(event:Event):void
{
var holder:Class =
event.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition(FontHolder) as Class;
Font.registerFont( holder.Kartika );
videoOverlay.overlay.fontLoaded();
}
It vomits every time on Font.registerFont. This exact same code works
fine on my PC. Now, I don't have Kartika
installed on my mac, which could be part of the problem I suppose so
my next is going to be trying with Arial, but does anyone have any
ideas?

On 4/29/07, simonjpalmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does C# kill Java? Does IE kill Firefox? Does SQLServer kill Oracle? Does Windows kill UNIX? Will Silverlight kill Flex? From my 20 odd years of software development, during which time the Microsoft hegemony has been at its apogee, none of the above are true. In fact if you want a really scalable enterprise platform you would choose the right hand side of the list above rather than the left. Where Microsoft win hands down is in Office Applications and desktop operating systems. Excel is quite possibly the best piece of desktop software ever written (Word being the worst) and long may it reign as such. Windows is crap, but it's more than good enough for your average user and most Microsoft desktop products are actually pretty good (c'mon, be generous). I regret deeply that the rest of the world doesn't have a house full of beautiful, stable, simple Macs like I do, but the reality is that they don't as Jason points out. Instead the three or four computers the normal person interacts with in their daily lives are almost exclusively running Windows (even the ATM machines and tills at the supermarket). Not a pleasant truth, but a truth nonetheless. If you are looking for broad adoption and commercial success as a software company you start with Windows. The wonderful reality, however, is that the software industry, like all others in the history of human endeavour, thrives on competition and there is space for more than one company/product/offering to survive. Adobe are not going to be Microsoft. THANK GOD! They have and in my opinion will always have, a distinct and separate offering. If they can't retain that differentiation then they don't deserve to remain in business and the market will take care of them. So this is a bit of a silly thread as far as I am concerned. The answer for me is clearly No for all the same reasons that Microsoft haven't killed any of the other things on the list at the top. They might try, but I think they should be more worried about Google and web based desktop software than Adobe and the flash player.
