Re: [flexcoders] Re: FABridge Problem - Please help!
Alex, I thank you for your patience. However, in one of my earlier posts on this thread I did give quite a lot of details about my particular situation (which is almost certainly different, but at the same time, related to, the other posters issue). In my case, I'm using an IFrame component (from http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/) to display a credit card data collection processing application (for PCI reasons, we do not wish to have the CC data collected via our main application) What I wish to happen, is for the 'hosted' app to be able to tell the 'hosting' flex app that it has completed its job, so that the flex app can change the ui, to present the main dashboard again, or perhaps a new order builder screen, or whatever. The problem is that my hosted html app (via javascript) is unable to communicate with its host flex app. There is an example of exactly this sort of behavior here ( http://ccgi.arutherford.plus.com/website/flex/iframe/IFrameBridgeTest/ ). FYI, I know for sure that this doesn't work (on Windows) with Chrome of Safari, but it does work with IE, FF, and Opera. What I've done, is to take the flex3 project here( http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/source/browse/trunk/examples/IFrameCommTest/ ), and just do a simple conversion of the code to flex4. I've exported my version of the project to facilitate help ( http://www.mediafire.com/file/172448jkkgva4ki/iframeCommTest.fxp ) The issue I'm trying to resolve, is why the code works fine in flex3, but not in flex4, and my best guess as to what is wrong is that its got something to do with swfobject being used in the flex4 version causing a change to the location of the FABridge object in the hosted html pages DOM. Hopefully that clears up some of the confusion. Thanks -- Brian J.

You are saying that parent.FABridge doesn’t exist, the OP said something else. There are two DOMs, the JS DOM and the AS DOM. You are now saying you can’t find the object, but you aren’t saying which object. If parent.FABridge is null, then it sounds like a JS setup issue. Either FABridge.js isn’t being loaded or isn’t loaded in the right place. You might try your own test js file to see if you can find objects from your test file. On 9/1/10 6:27 AM, Brian J.

Re: [flexcoders] Error #2063: Error attempting to execute IME command.
Hmm...peculiar.
I ran the app in IE, FF, and GC.
IE and FF are both 10.0 installs, and GC is on 10.1 somehow.
IE doesn't work, throws all sorts of IME errors. FF seems to work
perfectly. GC, doesn't throw errors, but also isn't working perfectly. I'm
going to update my all my flashplayers, see what happens.
time passes
IE now works, but now FF(mis) behaves the same way as GC.
Well, at least its some kind of progress, thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Error #2063: Error attempting to execute IME command.
Hi Karim, All is well now. I updated the flash debugger to the latest, and after fixing another (unrelated) bug, all three browsers now behave themselves. Updating the flash player to the most recent solved it. I haven't a clue why it suddenly went belly up yesterday, but, at least I'm able to proceed again. -- Brian J.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Capturing and Saving an image in Flex (BitmapData)
You'll need some server-side code to accept the image upload and save it to
disk. It's pretty simple in PHP.
On the Flex side, you'll just need to use something like URLLoader or
HTTPService to POST the image to your upload form on the server.

Re: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay - video is playing, but without audio
One of our projects has suffered from a similar issue. We're streaming audio from Flash Media Server, and sometimes the audio will cut out - we still get cue points embedded in the audio, the NetStream object doesn't register any errors, and the rest of the app acts like the audio ends at the right time. We also have a recording aspect to our project, and when the audio cuts out, sometimes it will cut back in after we record something. We've really only noticed this problem when running the app on Windows 7 -- and it's more prevalent when the computer is connected via wireless. Have you noticed any similar patterns in your app? -Brian On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 10:30 PM, joyh2002 joyh2...@yahoo.com wrote: I use VideoDisplay to play videos in my Flex app. The videos are hosted in our local web server.

[flexcoders] Flex Canvas horizontalCenter=0 Scrolling Bug
Reference from 2007 http://www.sephiroth.it/weblog/archives/2007/11/flex_canvas_bug_when_it_is_zoomed_in.php Just wondering if there is a work around for this. I am running into it now in my application development. It seems if the canvas is set not to clip content and the contents of the canvas grows the scrollbars should keep up with it. But is not what happens -- the edges of the contents get clipped. Bad news ... it is gonna be hard explaining this on to the client. LOL. It just doesn't make sense.

[flexcoders] 3.3 API confusion
I'm confused. The livedocs show a new addAll() method in ListCollectionView: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/collections/ListCollectionView.html#addAll() However, even after installing SDK 3.3 from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex3sdk , I was unable to to use it. Also, the source in the 3.3 SDK does not show it. So I decided to download the latest documentation from the Complete Flex 3 documentation section on http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/ to compare. The language reference in the download does NOT have the addAll() method, and in addition, it is marked as version 3.2! Is there some place to find the documentation corresponding to the last stable release, which is 3.3? Or am I missing something?

After wasting a ton of time trying to get nested array data from my JSON decode I found Nate Ross' DataGrid extension, NestedDataGrid... Works great, no labelFunction crap or any other cryptic work around, it just sets up like a regular DG or ADG with the great exception of dataField understands object.object.object.array(index] Check it out here: http://natescodevault.com/?p=61 Thanks, Nate, wherever you are!
[flexcoders] JSON decoded multidimensional array Datagrid labelFunction... help
Found this older thread below which looks like it could solve my
problem if someone could just clarify a couple things for me:
I've got a result handler that decodes a json response which is a
mutlidimensional array. Right now I pass the event result toString
and then set the string to a new array collection like so:
private function httpsvcRH(event:ResultEvent):void {
var data:Object = JSON.decode(event.result.toString());
myArray1 = new ArrayCollection(data.fruit); }
I need fruit.name as well as grower.name, grower.id, and
grower.address in the DG columns. I'm not clear, and haven't found an
decent example of how to get the result data to the labelFunction
functions or how I need to handle the result string differently to
feed the DG.

Subject: [flexcoders] Accessing Multi Dimensional Array Collection Data
in a DataGrid
Hi there,
Probably a rather straightforward solution that I am just overlooking.
I have an array collection that is acting as the data provider for a
datagrid. I have mapped out all the columns between the array
collection and the data grid with the DataGridColumn element.
However, my array collection is multi dimensional, and I can't figure
out how to map deeper content to the data field. The each
collection row contains a nested array called practice that has
values.
How do I map my datagrid column to the name property of the nested
array practice?
mx:DataGrid id=myCases dataProvider={cases}
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=practice.name
headerText=Practice /
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=acknowledged headerText=Ack /
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=id headerText=Case /
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=arrival_date
headerText=Arrival /
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
Thanks,
Mike

[flexcoders] Re: Create Help System in Flex - how to display html in a canvas or component?
I agree with Jeff. I have been building an app that includes an rss reader and found that html formatted RSS entries work pretty well -- it even properly displays links and images. The one problem (ironically) was that it can't display inline flash--like YouTube videos. So I tried the iframe approach but decided in the end to parse out any unsupported html tags and just display it in Flex. Much cleaner that way. In your case its even easier since you'll have control of the html you use in your help files. As far as Robohelp, they were acquired by Macromedia and so now Adobe has that too: http://www.adobe.com/products/robohelp/ --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Battershall, Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If your HTML rendering needs are rudimentary, you can use HTTPService to retrieve HTML files and use them for the htmlText property of the Text control. It supports (but not that well) such things as unordered lists, paragraphs and such. I've used this in combination with a vew stack and button bar to display multiple pages of help text. It's crude, but it works. Conceivably you could incorporate a Tree component and use that as a menuing system to retreive content via HTTP and display it in your content area.

Displaying full html in Flex (Flash Player) is not yet possible. What are your requirements? The simplest solution is to use a separate browser to display the html help pages. The Flex side needs to know where in the app the user is, and be able to determine the url to display. Using ExternalInterface you can exercise quite a bit of control over that window's behavior. Doing it all in Flex will be more difficult, primarily on the editing side. Dynamic display based on xml content is easy, but building a dynamic layout that looks like a help system might be a bit tricky. Directly editing xml files is not advised for non-developers, so you would need some king of wysiwyg editor... I would really like to see a Flex integration of something like RoboHelp.

I've built a flex gui that I want to display html files (or least that was my original thought). I tried doing some of the IFrame techniques but it doesn't seem to work on a mac. Anyway, the end-goal is for creating a help system. When certain links are clicked, I just want to display text in panel or component. The html files (or text files) would be separate so they can be easily edited and/or changed without a recompile of the swf. Should I try doing the external files in html, txt, or xml files? If XML, would I just fill up the node with pages of the text that represent the text? Sure I could do this with an html editor without flex, but I want this in a flex app!

[flexcoders] Flex 3 SWCs within CS3, again
Can you use framework-less Flex 3 SWCs within CS3? I assumed that you could do this if the compatibility-version flag was used and you didn't use any of the Flex framework. I haven't been able to get this to work, however. I asked about this about a month ago and the all-knowing Matt Chotin said it should work, so I'm hoping there's something I'm missing. A colleague of mine, Crystal West, created this example to show the issue: http://deitte.com/swc_test.zip The example has two SWCs within it, one created using Flash Authoring and one created using Flex 3. Try compiling swc_test.fla with just flash_bc_ads.swc in the same directory (that is, remove flex_bc_ads.swc). The fla should compile fine. Then try with just flex_bc_ads.swc. You should get compile errors related to AdTranslator class, etc. She tried a lot of variations on compiling with flex_bc_ads.swc, and nothing worked. flex_bc_ads.swc was built using the compatibility flag and doesn't use any of the Flex framework. She also tried compiling the Flex SWC using compute-digest=false (as recommended by Tim Walling http://timwalling.com/2007/10/22/compiling-flash-cs3-compatible-swcs-with-flex). That didn't work either, and, according to some of the comments on this blog post, didn't work for others. Any suggestions?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Data caching dto's
This message is probably too late, but I'll answer anyways. If you're just trying to compare ten objects at a time, I'd just use the Array technique that you described. Assuming you need to do a deep equality check, just use ObjectUtil.equals() (or something like that, it's in the Flex framework). Comparing 10 (or 100) objects, assuming you're only comparing each object to one other object, shouldn't be very intensive. -Brian On Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 11:45 AM, flexaustin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Actually obtaining the data isn't the issue.

[flexcoders] Re: pause not working in sequence of Iris effects?
Hi, thanks for your reply. What is the importance of ending the effect?
I tried creating a canvas outside the main canvas, and putting the
iris effects on that canvas. It didn't appear to make a difference.
I put the loop in to _simulate_ the work that my app is doing in the
middle of the sequence, which I thought was the cause of the delay in
the 2nd effect. I'm using the startDelay property.
When I use the startDelay property, it almost works. However, during
the pause between the effects, the canvas is drawn onto the screen
when the updates are done, and then the 2nd effect runs. I thought
that setting autoLayout = false was supposed to prevent this.
How can I update that canvas and not have it drawn on the screen?

well couple of things i did..

:D (u
dont have to do it)
created a canvas outside the map.. since u are doing too many things
on the
map canvas . i would recommend keeping it separate from the iris
effect..
also you need to end your effects effectively.
i would never recommend putting a for loop to simulate a delay. there is
startDelay property to make a delay.

[flexcoders] how to start with a dynamic actionscript class instead of mx:Application?
I've created a game with Flex, and now I'm trying to integrate MochiAds with it. They give you a preloader to use, but most of their documentation is actionscript-centric and oriented toward Flash developers and the Flash IDE. I tried using the preloader attribute of the mx:Application tag, but they told me that the 'main class' of the application has to be a dynamic class, which they said is impossible with MXML. Any idea how to do this? Seems like most of the Flex docs assume you're starting with an mx:Application tag as your entry point. I've asked on their developer forums as well but haven't gotten many details. Thanks
[flexcoders] Re: how to start with a dynamic actionscript class instead of mx:Application?
Well, here's one of the classes from their API doc. I think it's an
example, but I tried calling this in my preloader attribute in
mx:Application and it errored with a null error on the
loaderInfo.addEventListener line. I tried to put my main mxml file in
the MAIN_CLASS.
The properties look to be the 'id' and 'res', although there is an
additional one for AS3, called 'clip' and from the examples it looks
like it's supposed to be a MovieClip class.
From their docs, the important line appears to be the
MochiAd.showPreGameAd(opts);
near the end. They generate code for this based on your game and
resolution, and tell you to put that in your 'main class' as they call
it. Their generated code looks something like
MochiAd.showPreGameAd(clip: root, id: someHexString, res: 800x600);
Here's their example Preloader:
package {
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
// Must be dynamic!
public dynamic class Preloader extends MovieClip {
// Keep track to see if an ad loaded or not
private var did_load:Boolean;
// Change this class name to your main class
public static var MAIN_CLASS:String = Test;
// Substitute these for what's in the MochiAd code
public static var GAME_OPTIONS:Object = {id: test,
res:550x400};
public function Preloader() {
super();
var f:Function = function(ev:IOErrorEvent):void {
// Ignore event to prevent unhandled error exception
}
loaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, f);
var opts:Object = {};
for (var k:String in GAME_OPTIONS) {
opts[k] = GAME_OPTIONS[k];
}
opts.ad_started = function ():void {
did_load = true;
}
opts.ad_finished = function ():void {
// don't directly reference the class, otherwise it
will be
// loaded before the preloader can begin
var mainClass:Class =
Class(getDefinitionByName(MAIN_CLASS));
var app:Object = new mainClass();
parent.addChild(app as DisplayObject);
if (app.init) {
app.init(did_load);
}
}
opts.clip = this;
MochiAd.showPreGameAd(opts);
}
}
}

tell us that the two buttons are declared internally as mx:internal which

Viewstack's children index is zero based, so you need to start at zero

if(indexHit == 0){
Application.application.com1.getData();
}else if(indexHit==1){
Application.application.com2.getData();

[flexcoders] Re: why are these KeyboardEvent handlers not being called?
Thanks for your response Alex. I added the key listeners to the stage,
after having an issue with a null stage reference when trying to get
the stage off the Canvas during creationComplete. I changed it to
applicationComplete and it worked. I still have to click on the App to
get focus there.
Unfortunately, I still can't reproduce the original problem, which
involves using a timer to manage the many events generated when
holding down a key. It works for awhile, meaning you hold down a key
and the image continues to move across the screen. But then after
awhile it stops working, the image stops moving while still holding
the key down. Once the continued movement stops while holding down the
key, it moves once when you press and hold the key down, and once
again on KeyUp.
I tried adding debug statements and here's where it gets even weirder.
I've placed a text area below the Canvas where I write my debug
statements so I can see them in real-time instead of having to go look
at the trace output afterward. I added this to this smaller app below
as well. I added a 'logFlag' because I don't want to log all these
messages until it stops working. So I'll move around a bit until it
stops working, then go into the debugger and set the logFlag to true,
and continue to try to move around.
At this point the error stops, when I have the logFlag turned on.
That's what's even more baffling. I'm purely speculating, but it's
almost like it's losing track of some of the timerComplete events and
not calling the timerCompleteHandler method, unless there's another
'hook' in that timerCompleteHandler method, the 'hook' being the
method call to the log TextArea.
I know it doesn't make much sense, but that's the behavior I've been
seeing. Should I repost this under another subject about timing events
and/or a keyboard buffer, since we're beyond KeyboardEvents now?
The mxml from the 'smaller' app is below again. It's bigger because
I've included various bits from a few classes in my real app, in an
attempt to include all the pieces that may have an impact on the
problem. But again, this smaller app still doesn't reproduce the
original problem.
At one time I wondered if it had to do with memory management, since
I'm adding lots of small 'tile images' as I move around, so I added a
bit like that here as well. But I still can't reproduce the problem

I am passing in a custom event that extends Event into a class that

wondering why? Why do I not get the benefit of polymorphism?
I have an interface as follows:
package myCom.controller
{

public interface ICommand
{
function execute(event:Event):void

}
I have a pseudo abstract class as follows:
package myCom.controller
{
import flash.events.Event;
import myCom.view.events.LoginEvent;
public class Command implements ICommand
{
public function execute(event:Event):void
{
}
}
}
Here is a LoginCommand that extends the Command Class
package myCom.controller

I get an error saying that I have an incompatible signature because my
execute function is expecting a LoginEvent. The LoginEvent extends
Event. Commands execute signature expects an Event. Why do I not get
the advantage of polymorphism here?

[flexcoders] why are these KeyboardEvent handlers not being called?
I'm trying to mock up an example of a problem I'm having in a larger
app. I'm hoping to reproduce the problem in a smaller app that I can
post here. I'm just trying to move the image around in response to the
user pressing certain keys. But I'm having an even more fundamental
problem with the mockup. The KeyboardEvent handlers are never being
called for this Canvas.
Any ideas why?
Here's the mxml. You should be able to almost cutpaste this and have
it work, except you'll need your own little image.
FYI, the original problem has to do with handling the user holding
down a movement key. Originally, that created events too fast for the
image to render, and the image skipped around. So I added a timer so
that it wouldn't accept the next event until the timer was done, like
40 ms later. That works for awhile, and then it mysteriously stops
working and the image stops moving. That's the 'root' problem I'm
trying to solve. I've included the code I'm using for that in the app
below as well in case anyone is intrigued by that.

I may file a bug tonight. I registered with my gmail address, which is blocked at work so I can't complete the registration. I'd love to share code that highlights the problem, but am not sure what to share. It is literally as simple as removeAllChildren(); drawMap(); This is within my component which extends Canvas. The drawMap() function draws the new images, as determined by the data model. Those 2 lines of code are executed from 3 different events. It was working for 2 of them, and sporadically for the 3rd.

Are you mainly interested in calculating with decimal rather than binary fractions, or in having more significant digits, or are both important? Do you need support for an arbitrary number of significant digits (i.e., infinite precision)? If not, how many significant digits are sufficient? Do you need programmatic control over how much precision is used in calculations (e.g., rounding to 5 decimal places in every intermediate operation)? Do you need programmatic control over how rounding works?

code snippets that will hopefully explain what I'm trying to do.

What I'd like to have happen is have the Text control update when the
ToyTruck.color is changed by other events. Is this possible? The above
code snippets is what I'm currently trying but the Tex is not
updating. Even though the toy is not used directly in the getText()
function, I thought having it as a parameter was how the function was
triggered. The docs say that when a bindable property as an argument
of the function changes, the function executes.
In reality, there are different properties for different subclasses of
Toy, which could be modified by several different events. This is why
I'm trying to get the binding to work, so I don't have to manually
update the Text control all over the place. I thought that was the
whole point of Binding, but maybe I'm missing something.
Or do I have to use a Binding tab for each of those different
properties of the subclasses? I haven't tried that yet but I don't
think that would work because the source has to be a string, right?

Thanks for your reply Sam. I've tried this but it's still not working.
I assume by 'broadcast the event' you meant use dispatchEvent(), which
is what I did in the setter for the color of ToyTruck (with an event
named itemChanged). Then I changed the binding of the Text component
to be {_cartItem.getDescription()}, and I put the Binding metatag on
the getDescription() method of CartItem to be
[Bindable(itemChanged)]
public function getDescription():String { ... }
Are the minor differences I did from what you suggested a reason why
it's not working? I mean is there a difference between having the Text
component's binding being {_cartItem.toy.getDescription()} and
{_cartItem.getDescription()} ?
I guess I still don't understand how the above binding with a function
as the source gets called when you don't have an bindable argument of
the function. I keep rereading the Binding Data section of the Flex
DevGuide and the Binding sections of 'Creating And Extending Flex 2
Components' to try to understand how it's all wired together, but it's
not coming together for me.

change your binding to be {_cartItem.toy.getDescription()} directly
(which
is implied to work from your definition of Toy, but not the same as your
original binding).
Then change getDescription() to define a specific bindable event:
[Bindable(getDescriptionChanged)]
public function getDescription():String { ... }
And then you need to broadcast the event getDescriptionChanged
anywhere
that results in a change in value (i.e., never in the Toy base
class, but in
the color setter for ToyTruck).

In reality, there are different properties for different subclasses of
Toy, which could be modified by several different events. This is why
I'm trying to get the binding to work, so I don't have to manually
update the Text control all over the place. I thought that was the
whole point of Binding, but maybe I'm missing something.
Or do I have to use a Binding tab for each of those different

think that would work because the source has to be a string, right?

[flexcoders] Re: help with 'deep' data binding - solved
This still wasn't working. I noticed while debugging that the method
that was supposed to be listening to the 'descriptionChanged' was
still never being called. I wondered if it had something to do with
extending EventDispatcher, so I modified Toy to extend EventDispatcher
and the listening method was still not being called. So I dug into
EventDispatcher a bit and found another thread here that was exactly
what I was looking for, titled 'Events and Non-Display Objects' :
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/95122
The Singleton 'SystemEventManager' is much simpler and I used that to
get it working. In fact I already had a similar class in my app for a
different event. It seems like the Binding model quickly gets far too
complicated when not dealing with top-level classes.
Thanks again for your help Sam.

[flexcoders] question on accordion usage with scrollable children and MouseOut
Reposting from a couple days ago, trying to ask the question better, hope that's ok... I've got an accordion component with VBoxes as the children. The VBoxes contain several custom components each, enough that I've got scroll bars on the accordion children VBoxes. The custom components have states that are supposed to be triggered on MouseOver and MouseOut. I use getBounds on these components to see if they contain the MouseOut event's point. If it doesn't, then I revert back to the original state. The MouseOver state adds a couple buttons at the bottom of the component. Everything is working fine, except for when the lowest visible component in one VBox is clipped by the header of the next accordion's child. When I move the mouse from inside the component, down out the bottom and over the next accordion header, the coordinates of the MouseOut event still fall within the local and content coordinate system of the component, even though it is clipped on the bottom by the header. I've read through the coordinate system docs and tried various permutations of local, global, and content positioning. I would've thought that the local coordinate system would reflect what is visible, but it isn't acting like that is the case. Any ideas on how I can detect MouseOut on that component that is clipped by the next accordion header? I may have to try different layouts, like a ViewStack with a TabBar

[flexcoders] Re: question on accordion usage with scrollable children and MouseOut - solved
Just wanted to update this with a solution in case anyone else in the future is going down the wrong road like I was. I found out about RollOut/RollOver events shortly after I posted this. Found an example of that in the FlexStore sample application on Adobe's site. So I switched to RollOut/RollOver. This fixed the issue with the accordion header, but created strange flickering where the events were firing as I moved around my container. The solution was here http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/88339 I think this is very un-intuitive and should be documented somewhere in the docs, the part about a container not having a background and that's what was triggering the RollOut/Over events. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Reposting from a couple days ago, trying to ask the question better, hope that's ok...

[flexcoders] When are scrollbars added? question on timing of initial rendering
I have a Canvas object that I am dynamically adding images to in a method that is called via Application.creationComplete(). Sometimes the addition of these images results in clipping and the creation of scrollbars, so I'm checking the position of a certain image to see if it's in the viewable area. However, it seems like the scrollbars have not yet been added to the canvas at the time I am checking for them, which is immediately after I've added the images. I'm assuming it's some kind of rendering timing issue, like I'm still within the method stack so it doesn't render the canvas with the new objects yet. Is there a way to force the scrollbars to be added?

So it sounds like updateComplete event is fired anyway, is that correct? Would the scrollbars be added during that event, or during the validateNow()?

You mentioned in the comments on your blog that you like to leave the
resultFormat defaulted to Object. So then how do you construct your
dataProvider? I'm confused because on one hand we're talking about
handling XML/namespace data, but then you talk about leaving it as an
Object. Do you still use a result Handler to parse your Object data
into a different model?

I started a new thread to continue this issue because I had gotten

DataGrid not populating from XMLListCollection and namespace issues.
Here's the new thread:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/93492
The 'OrdMedList' node is there in the original post. But a quick
answer to your question, here's what the structure looks like, w/out
the namespaces:
OrdMedList
OrdMed
id5/id
desctylenol/desc
/OrdMed
OrdMed
id97/id
descadvil/desc
/OrdMed
...
/OrdMedList
This is the output of the trace() on my XMLListCollection. I also
implemented a labelFunction to try to deal with the namespace issue,
and found a weird result: there are 10 OrdMed nodes in my list, but
the length of OrdMedList is 1 and the labelFunction is invoked 4
times, 2 each for id and desc.

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid not populating from WebService, error: Unknown Property
OK I've changed the resultFormat to e4x and added a result handler.
With trace I'm able to see the result coming back. I tried using a
namespace variable also after further searching here, but I'm still
confused about how that works. The error is gone, but I'm still not
getting any results in the datagrid. I'm assuming I'm missing
something with the dataProvider expression and/or handling of the
XMLList and Collection.

Use trace() to display the xml content you are getting back from the

Consider using a result handler instead..
Also, specify resultFormat=e4x. The default converts your xml to a
nested object structure of some sort.

[flexcoders] DataGrid not populating from XMLListCollection - namespace issue?
I've been trying to get a DataGrid populated from a WebService and
having much trouble. I'm wondering if the issue might be namespace
issues, but I'm confused by the usage and syntax of namespace from the
posts I've found here on that. There is no data in the DataGrid, but
it does appear to flicker and slightly resize it self when I call the
service so it looks like _something_ is going on. I've bound the
service response to an XMLListCollection so I can trace() it and I can
see the XML tree that should be displayed in the DataGrid.
Any ideas why it's not working? Would appreciate any help, been
banging my head on this for days now. Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: first try with RPC: Error calling JAX-WS service (CXF) from Flex
Fixed! With some help on the CXF side I was able to log the entire
SOAP message and see that I wasn't sending the right value. I was
using the wrong brackets [] in the mxml file instead of {}, so I was
sending 'fullOrderId.text' instead of the value of that field, and it
was expecting an int.
Actually, I could argue that the 'root cause' of this error was my
working from the PDF docs. My trial of Flex Builder 2 ran out earlier
this week so I had to download the docs, instead of using the help
files that Flex Builder opens up (I don't know what format those are
in, but they're easier to read). The code snippets in the PDF docs are
harder to read, very hard to distinguish between [] and {}.

[flexcoders] defaults.css in a flex library isn't picking up the style changes
Dear FlexCoders, I have a flex library project with custom components and have defined a defaults.css in it to create default styles for my components. However, the styles are NOT getting picked up when I use the swc in a flex project both as a project reference to my library and also as a swc reference to the actual swc. Has anybody encountered something along these lines? It seems like the swc is getting used because I've defined some default border class references and they are getting picked up but everything else that has to style has no affect whatsoever.

[flexcoders] question on mouse events in nested containers
I'm working with view states for the first time. BTW, so far this looks like a great tool for developers, really cool functionality built in. I'm trying to do something similar to the examples: I have a custom component which is basically a VBox containing an Image on top and then a label below the image. I've created a view state which adds an HBox below the label which contains 2 more buttons. On the parent component, I've got listeners for mouse events which are onMouseOver, switch to the view state with the additional buttons, onMouseOut, switch back to basic state. The MouseOver works as expected, the new buttons appear. But the problem is when I move the mouse down to the new buttons, this triggers a MouseOut on the Vbox, which causes the buttons to disappear. I thought the new buttons are still contained in the VBox, and so the MouseOut shouldn't be triggered until I move outside of those buttons. Do I have to add mouselisteners on the buttons that are added in the new state in order to keep them visible? That seems kind of circular or counter-intuitive. Suggestions? Thanks

[flexcoders] how to determine if a component is offscreen in a Canvas?
I'm using a Canvas where I'm adding components dynamically at absolute positions, which may increase the size of the canvas beyond it's parent container. When this happens, scrollbars are created, as expected and desired. I'm trying to figure out if the component I just added are offscreen, in the clipped area. If that's the case, I want to be able to make that newly-added component visible by manually adjusting the scrollbars. I've done this before in another development environment so I know the logic to do, but I'm new to Flex and struggling to find which properties to use, amongst all the different properties and methods, i.e. height, maxHeight, measuredHeight, scrollPosition, etc. Thanks
[flexcoders] how to refer to Flex components in ActionScript?
There is a section of the Flex 2 Developer's Guide (- Using Flex Programming Language - Using ActionScript - Working with Flex components - Referring to Flex components ) that talks about referring to flex components via the id of that component. The example given uses inline script, but it states : The IDs for all tags in an MXML component, no matter how deeply nested they are, generate public variables of the component being defined. As a result, all id properties must be unique within a document. This also means that if you specified an ID for a component instance, you can access that component from anywhere in the application: from functions, external class files, imported ActionScript files, or inline scripts. I cannot get this to work with an external AS file/class. I have created external ActionScript files which define classes which I import in my main application .mxml script section. For example, I have a TextArea component in my .mxml file with an id='messageLog'. I have a business object defined in an external AS file, which is imported in the inline SCRIPT section of the same .mxml file. Yes, the AS files are in the source path and resolve fine. Based on the Developer's Guide, within that object I should be able to do something like 'messageLog.text = my message;'. I've even tried having a TextArea var within the business object, and trying to set that reference with Application.appliction.getChildByName(messageLog), but that returns null as well. What am I missing? Is it a scope or namespace issue? The way I'm getting around it now is using set methods in the SCRIPT section to pass the Flex components into the AS classes (many of which are singletons, but that's another issue), but that seems like a hack, or at least not any kind of best practice. Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] FlexBuilder feature rich? Not as a development tool.
In flex builder 3 beta 2 alot of your concerns have been resolved. -Brian On 10/5/07, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Beta 2 essentially exposes the features that we have planned for the Flex 3 release. But one thing that we talked about at MAX is how excited developers should be for Thermo, because it means that we're going to be able to allow Flex Builder to become even more developer focused while Thermo can solve more problems for designers. This means more engineering effort behind the coding features like you mention. So please file and vote for bugs (can't stress the voting enough) at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex, it's really the best way for us to gauge what developer features we need to focus on since you should assume we are not all-powerful and can't get everything done in a single release.

Have not tried beta 2 yet. But it is beta so that is fine. But, from the sneak peak I saw, there were only a few IDE features added that still leaves it behind almost every other IDE out there. I know that Flex 3 will add some basic refactoring features and some people said wow, that's cool!. But I said, wow, it's about time! My question... How much effort is Adobe putting into the FlexBuilder IDE (which we pay for) as it is very behind the times as far as expected developer productivity features (found in almost all FREE progamming language IDE's). I've been waiting for some extemely basic ones such as: - Code formatter to reformat code of sloppy developers not caring about the format of their code. - Import organization, which organizes, add/deletes imports as needed. - Smarter indentation. Cut a section of code from one place in my file to another, it should re-indent as necessary for the destination. - Renaming or moving a class should go through the entire project and refactor for me. These are just some of the most basic things and the list goes on. What, if any, should we expect to see in Flex 3? Don't get me wrong, I think Flex absolutely rocks! But, I do find that I lose productivity with these very basic and completely expected features that I'm use to having. Dale

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;
private function submitForm():void {
var params:Object = new Object();
params.firstName = firstName.text;
params.lastName = lastName.text;
myService.insertArtist(params);
}
private function myResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
if (Boolean(event.result) == true) {
Alert.show(New Artist added!!);
} else {
Alert.show(Error);
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:RemoteObject id=myService destination=ColdFusion source=
RemoteObject.cfc.queries
result=myResultHandler(event) showBusyCursor=true /
mx:Form
mx:FormItem
mx:Label text=First Name /
mx:TextInput id=firstName /
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem
mx:Label text=Last Name /
mx:TextInput id=lastName /
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem
mx:Button label=Submit click=submitForm(); /
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Form
/mx:Application
and my simple CFC contains
cffunction name=insertArtist access=remote returntype=boolean
cfargument name=firstName type=string
cfargument name=lastName type=string
cfset success = true
cftry
cfquery name=qInsertArtist datasource=flexdata
insert into tbl_test (firstName,lastName)
values ('#arguments.firstName#','#arguments.lastName#')
/cfquery
cfcatch type=database
cfset success = false
/cfcatch
/cftry
cfreturn success
/cffunction
Notice that even if I enter to the end of my cffunction the cfreturn
false, my myResultHandler always returns a New Artist Added (meaning
that it always report true). The tbl_test table does not even exist!!!
How is it possible to get a 'True' message from Flex? is that kind of a
bug? Or am I doing something wrong? I used to have a similar problem
when using an HTTPService.
Thanks for your help, really helpful :)
George

RE: [flexcoders] New Project using ColdFusion Flash Remoting Service
George, Pretty sure server side compile only works with Cold Fusion 8. You might want to check the Cold Fusion docs. Brian.. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Georgiou Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 2:42 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] New Project using ColdFusion Flash Remoting Service Hi all, A quick and newbie question - i m sure this is easy for most of you. I want to test the flash remoting service of ColdFusion and flex. I have a book on Flex explains perfectly some examples but it has very poor help in setting up the whole thing. This is my scenario: I have coldfusion 7.0.2 running on a different machine on my local network on win2k3 server. I have opened a new website on my IIS which can be accessed at http://myexample.flex http://myexample.flex . Placing .cfm files there works perfectly! Now, I create in FlexBuilder 2 a new project using the option ColdFusion Flash Remoting Service. I am asked to enter the following: Root Folder : I have created a mapping that points directly to the coldfusion root folder: this is o:\cfusionmx7\wwwroot (even if I try to add something different there it fails to validate). Root URL : I have entered my http://myexample.flex http://myexample.flex there that's it, i hit Next, i try to wrinte some MXML (anything really) but it fails to compile, it keeps running and running with no result. Could you please help me on this? Thanks a lot, George *** The information in this e-mail is confidential and intended solely for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
