Re: [flexcoders] Re: WebORB or AMFPHP for big Application
Keep in mind that AMFPHP may go under the radar (or drop off it completely) as the lead developer has decided to pursue another career and I have not seen any announcement of anybody else taking over for him.

Re: [flexcoders] Problems with htmltext
I don't think your style attributes will have any affect on the rendering of the htmlText, as far as I know only simple tags (i.e. bold, italics, anchor, linebreak, paragraph, image, etc) work.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: ActiveMQ with JBoss and Flex Data Service
Not sure what how you would go about using static queues. We are using tomcat -- we used JBoss for a bit with it's messaging capabilities, but recently switched back to tomcat/ActiveMQ.

Re: [flexcoders] ActiveMQ with JBoss and Flex Data Service
Make sure you have the ActiveMQ jar file in your WEB-INF/lib directory. Also, my destination XML looks significantly different: Queue javax.jms.TextMessage ConnectionFactory dynamicQueues/queue1 NON_PERSISTENT DEFAULT_PRIORITY AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE false Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory Context.PROVIDER_URL tcp://192.168.2.187:61616 Most notably, I'm not sure you need the "java:" bit in your property, and you might consider adding the section as I have above.

Re: [flexcoders] Storing Dates & Times in VO's
I would store it in a format that both PHP and Flex understand and can manipulate (i.e. epoch milliseconds). That way you can convert it to either a PHP date object or a Flex date object for convenience when you need to.

Re: [flexcoders] Trace Output Stopped Working
Are you using a Mac?
I noticed that when I installed the latest 10.4.9 updates on my
Macbook Pro, Apple pushed the install of Flash Player 9.0.28.0
(non-debug). It took me a few minutes to figure out that my debug
version of the player had been trashed, and that I had to re-install.
Hope this helps!

Re: [flexcoders] Form Handling?
Not a native feature built in to Flex I don't think, however one way to accomplish this would be to loop through each of the children of the Form (referenced by id), and then loop through each of the children of the that child, see if they are of type TextInput, TextArea, ComboBox, CheckBox, RadioButton, etc -- and then store the id/value of that child in an ArrayCollection for sending later.

Re: [flexcoders] Special characters after end tag of XML document (HTTPService issue)
Peter, I have not made any changes to the XML.ignoreWhitespace property. I have implemented the trim as suggested, and I have also put a check to see if the last character of the string is a > (a quick way to see if there's trailing junk characters). What I'm experiencing now is the same issue as before, however now I can see the trailing characters traced in my flashlog. Just as a sample, `á!àê!àî!`á! ï! appears at the end of one of them. I have noted that we are experiencing this with more than one servlet at this point, it appears that all of the servlets in our application might be affected. Any other thoughts/suggestions?

Re: [flexcoders] flash 9 alpha IDE run on mac os x intel?
No, it is not available for Intel Macs at this time. I've setup a good development environment on an Intel Mac by doing the following: - Using Flex Builder 2 (OS X) for my Actionscript 3 development environment - Using Parallels (virtualization software) to load Flash 9 w/ Actionscript 3 preview in Windows - Simply sharing folders between the two operating systems, save my FLA file within my Actionscript 3 Project directory on the OS X side, that way the classpath is setup properly. The benefit to this approach is that you have a real AS3 IDE with code completion, syntax checking, etc. To be honest, it's much quicker on an Intel-based Mac to develop in Flash 8/Flash 9 under Parallels than it is to try to use Flash 8 natively under OS X. Can't wait until Flash 9 is released as a universal binary (I think the peasants might rejoice). Hope this helps!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Just curious, A big development team or individual developers
INDIVIDUAL Just me doing Flex/UI, although we only have 3 developers total so we're quite small. I suspect you'll see a trend of small Flex teams in most startups/companies adopting Flex for the first time since it is so powerful and efficient to develop in that you really don't need huge teams for most projects.

Re: [flexcoders] Creating Thumbnails from large images on the fly. Possible?
Definitely possible -- I do it using a function like so:
public function getBitmapData(target:UIComponent, scale:Number =
0.):BitmapData
{
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(target.width * scale,
target.height * scale);
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
m.scale(scale, scale);
bd.draw(target, m);
return bd;
}
Basically what that function does, it accepts a target UIComponent to
draw the thumbnail from (in my case it's usually charts, but to do
what you're after you might use an Image or an SWFLoader). It also
accepts a scale to upsize/downsize the bitmap to... by default it does
it 1/3 of the size.

Re: [flexcoders] FlashVars not working
A bit off topic, but I am using FlashVars extensively for a new

it's much easier to manage your FlashVars as it's all in one location.

Re: [flexcoders] Drag-Resize MDI Example
I've created a Dashboard that acts as an MDI with custom Widgets (TitleWindows that flip over to configure, etc). The one thing I'd really like to see though is some example code for is how to tile the windows evenly across the screen. I assume that there is some degree of math to figuring out how many windows can fit in the user's screen resolution per row/column/etc, but I've never really taken the time to go through it in depth.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex applications look like Fisher-Price toys
VERY nice Dave, you guys do awesome work. Just curious, did your team use the DistortionEffects library by Alex Uhlmann to do the CubeRotate effect on the right side panel?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Full Application Reset?
Could be just me, but if that does work it seems like kind of a hack... I think most applications would use something similar to the shell concept. It let's you have a lot of flexibility on what operations to perform on login/logout, and it will work for applications outside of the browser I'm guessing.

Re: [flexcoders] Full Application Reset?
Don't feel bad, this left me scratching my head when I encountered it as well. I was used to just displaying a titlewindow for a login screen, making it modal, and having the application blurred in the background. My way of implementing an application reset was to have a "shell" app that handled the instantiation of a login or my main application. When the shell app first loads, it displays a Login application... after login, the login app gets removed and the main application gets created. Upon logout, vice versa. Hope this helps!

Re: [flexcoders] change markup in richTextEditor
When working on a CMS in Flex, I was making heavy use of the RTE component, and I too discovered the horrible markup it generates. My only advice would be to write a good formatter using regex in either AS3 or your backend. I started to write one in AS3 but it's nowhere near completion. I disable a lot of the functionality of the RTE in the CMS, i.e. I don't allow them to change fonts, colors, etc. I only allow them to format lists, paragraphs, links, etc. It cuts down on the bad markup (not sure if this is an option for you). Best of luck!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Debug Flash Player 9 for Intel Mac
The Flex Builder 2 for Mac actually has a newer version of the Flex 2 SDK that requires you to explicitly import things instead of calling them by their classpath. There are a number of other changes as well, I can't remember where I saw a list of them but there is one out there. Hopefully Adobe will release the latest Intel Mac debug player soon, I find the one that came with the Mac beta extremely buggy (freezes Safari, Firefox, often ignores keystrokes, etc).

Re: RE: [flexcoders] Question regarding Alex Uhlmann's DistortionEffects library
Hey Alex, Awesome to have the actual creator of the library reply to this post! Great work by the way, it's a great starting point to advanced graphical effects in Flex. My particular problem is, is that my Widgets are based on one Panel with the children changing (to configure them), as opposed to multiple panels. I'm going to look over your examples more carefully however, as there may be something I've missed. Will drop you an e-mail with an example after I've looked over them once more.

[flexcoders] Question regarding Alex Uhlmann's DistortionEffects library
I've been looking in to Alex Uhlmann's DistortionEffects library (http://weblogs.macromedia.com/auhlmann/archives/2006/11/download_distor.cfm) and I'm trying to figure out how to implement these effects in to an existing application. Essentially, here's my problem: We have an existing application with a dashboard. Within that dashboard are Widgets. Widgets are an extension of DragPanel (extension of TitleWindows) that are the children of a Canvas. I chose to implement my own drag/drop functionality with TitleWindows so that I could restrict dragging to the Canvas area. Each Widget has a front (main UI) and a back (configuration). Currently I am using states and simple transitions to go back and forth between the two views of a Widget. My end goal is to use a Flip effect (available in the DistortionEffect library) to flip the widgets over to configure them, just like an OS X dashboard widget. All of the examples on Alex's site seem to make use of two or more Panels within a ViewStack to accomplish the flipping effect. Can anybody think of a way to implement the desired effect without completely changing my Widget architecture? My next step might be to try to make a draggable ViewStack container if I can't figure out another option. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks, Brian Dunphy
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Connect to FB2 Debugger from SDK compiled swf
It is possible to do a remote debug -- this may not be the right way but it seems to work for me: - Compile your app using Ant, command-line debugger, or through Flex Data Services so that it is a 'debug enabled' version - In Eclipse/Flex Builder, set your debug URL to the path to the debug version on your server... i.e. 'http://192.168.2.180/' in 'URL or path to launch' under Run > Debug > - Run > Debug > select your application You shouldn't get prompted as to where your debugger is located, and your breakpoints, etc, should work just fine.

Re: Re: [flexcoders] Debug Flash Player 9 for Intel Mac
Greg, Do you have the Universal binary of Firefox?

I'm just curious because I have tried installing the one on that page about 10 times over the past few weeks and it always says it's PPC only... I've seen many other reports of the same issue.

Re: [flexcoders] Changing mx:Application's width during runtime
Not sure if you are using the standalone player or a browser, but if the application is within an HTML page (i.e. an tag is loading the SWF in), then that HTML page would have control over the width of that element. You may need to use _javascript_ and ExternalInterface to change the width and actually see the results.
Cheers,BrianOn 10/29/06, pilby1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
When I run my application where mx:Application's width is 640x480, by

I then try to dynamically change the width to 1024 in actionscript when
a button is clicked. I had "trace"'d the application width after
changing it, and it does say the width is now 1024, but the screen
still shows 640x480. How can I make the application refresh to reflect
this new change in width? I tried invalidateSize(),
invalidateProperties, but neither works.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: ContextMenuEvent on BarSeries - how can I access the item that was clicked on?
I thought about that as well. I also thought about having a rollOver or mouseOver event on the bar series, and when the user hovered over a BarSeriesItem, I thought you could set a temporary variable with the hitData, and then when they right clicked on the context menu, you would know which one they are referring to. I think the first idea holds more potential, as I could not find a way to get the hitData from the rollOver method either.I will definitely keep this thread updated with my progress as I do with all of my other questions on here... which I usually answer myself a few minutes later :) Cheers,BrianOn 10/27/06, cdhbookingedge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Not an answer, more of me commiserating with you.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Beta Mac Performance
Go in the /Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/ directory, and edit the file 'eclipse.ini'. There is a setting for initial memory and max memory, I believe the defaults are 40mb and 256mb respectively. Your best bet is to set it to 512mb and 1024mb (if you have that kind of RAM available).
I did so after noticing sluggish performance in the Mac plug-in.Cheers,BrianOn 10/26/06, John Kirby <

[flexcoders] No more build workspace upon saving?
Up until about a week ago, my workspace would build automatically every time I saved a file in my project. This allowed me to have my app open in a browser window, and whenever I saved a file I could just reload that app. Currently, it doesn't detect errors automatically as well, I have to wait until I run my application as a run target in Eclipse. I'm using Eclipse 3.1.2 with the GA release of Flex Builder through Parallels on a Macbook Pro. I have noticed this before on a PC hoever.Anybody run in to this / know how to fix it? I ran through all of the config screens I could find in Eclipse that relate to Flex, no luck.

[flexcoders] RemoteObject only accesses, cannot set
Hello,Just starting to use RemoteObjects, but for some reason my RemoteObject can only retrieve information, it can't use any of the mutator methods in my class.My Java class is as follows:package com.testing.pojos
;import java.io.Serializable;public class HelloWorldMessage implements Serializable{ private String message; public HelloWorldMessage() { this.message = "Hello World";
} public String getMessage() { return message; } public void setMessage(String newMessage) { this.message = newMessage; }}
My RemoteObject in MXML is as follows:
My destination definition is as follows: com.testing.pojos.HelloWorldMessage application
I can access the getMessage method just fine (and it returns the appropriate message), however when I call setMessage("new message"), it doesn't persist my message, it simply returns the old "Hello World!" message again.
Something I'm doing wrong?Thanks,Brian Dunphy

[flexcoders] MouseEvents with charts problem
Having a problem getting mouse events to trigger properly on my charts. Essentially what I'm trying to do is have a MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER event change the cursor to an arrow icon when it's over top of the chart. My event listener is added to the chart itself, and currently you can only get the cursor to change when you're on the very edge of the graph or on the gridlines. I suspect the problem is that the ChartItems (or series items) are on top of the chart, and when you mouse over them, their events are triggered (and not those of the chart behind them).Any thoughts?

[flexcoders] Custom component inside custom component issues
I'm having trouble with mx related packages when they are inside a custom component. My structure is as follows: - I have a component, 'Widget', which is an ActionScript class that extends the TitleWindow container (it just adds a few custom show/hide/close methods, it doesn't override any default functionality) - I have a 'StatsWidget' in MXML that is just a few charts inside a as a custom component (xmlns:sl is defined properly) - I have declared xmlns:mx properly so that I can use the mx packages - All mx related packages compile and work inside the 'StatsWidget' component with the exception of which is giving me the following error message: 'Could not resolve to a component implementation' I suspect I am missing something -- perhaps my states should be used at the parent level (the 'Widget' class)?

Re: [flexcoders] How can we achieve this effect in flex??? Any Ideas???
Not sure this will get you the effect you're looking for, but I have a feeling that Quasimondo's aqua glass effect would be extremely useful in a water/ripple effect: http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000561.phpAlso, the 3d flip effect mentioned in the previous post can be found here (although not true 3d, it looks really close): http://www.reflektions.com/miniml/template_permalink.asp?id=227(Note: this is for ActionScript 2 I believe, and it would take some work to port to Flex 2 / AS3 likely).If any of you do achieve those effects, it would be much appreciated if you shared them with the community!

Re: [flexcoders] Comments appreciated
I've seen things like this done with Flash & PHP in the past, so it should be quite straightforward to do with Flex & your backend language of choice (Java, C#, PHP, etc).Brian On 9/26/06, cheftimbob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'd like to create an application that displays an image and has a couple widgets on the side. This app is to mimic putting a stamp, or annotation, on an image. I'd like to drag one of the widgets onto the image and grab the coordinates of the widget drop relative to the image. The coordinates will be sent back to the server so that the next time we render the image, we'll burn an image of the widget onto the original image.

in the right direction on the following:
When I pre-compile (either via Flex builder or via mxmlc on the command line),

Is there something I'm missing? When I just drop our WAR file in to the

Re: [flexcoders] Pre-compiled applications unable to access FDS based message queues
Well, I've been testing on our dev box using something like this:./mxmlc -load-config /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/flex/flex-config.xml /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/main.mxmlWhen I load main.swf I instantly get errors about not being able to connect to queue destinations which are defined (and working when using the web-tier compiler with the same app) in messaging-config.mxml. That config file is in the same directory as the flex-config.mxml as well.Is there a way to specify the services-config in the same fashion as I did with the flex-config?Thanks, Brian On 9/1/06, Stacy Young <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Wondering if perhaps the precompile is not picking up your services-config file?

Re: [flexcoders] specifying a percentage width in script?
I think you may have to determine the width of the outer container and calculate the percentage (in pixels) the manual way.Thanks,BrianOn 8/24/06,

How can I specify spacer.width = "100%"??? It throws an error because 100% is not an int.
Thanks!
