Re: [flexcoders] Flex Goes Open Source
LOL, I hope not... world domination seems a little extreme for a compiler, debugger, component framework and the other bits and pieces... The discussion has been interesting though. I really like the idea that developers could weave their own components into the framework: See Ryan Stewart: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Stewart/?p=353 But what interests me most is how Adobe will go open source but still retain control as they gradually allow people outside the company to run with sub projects within the Flex system. (Again see Ryan's article.) I hope taking Flex open source is a huge success because I'd like to see Adobe do something similar with the player. (To RULE THE WORLD in Greg's terms?) My guess (and I really don't know) is that many people in Adobe can't imagine how they would take the player open source in a meaningful way. It is a highly optimized and size-constrained piece of code. For example one question would be how could Adobe begin to provide the community with a way to own sub projects? One tantalizing possible answer is for Adobe to look at re-engineering the player to adopt an extension mechanism of some type. The strategy is risky because no one wants an Acrobat player experience for Flash but it could solve a lot of problems. There was a fitc session that I couldn't attend where I understand the Flash player group asked for comments on what to put into the player in the future. I imagine there were all sorts of requests like hardware accelerated 3D, screen sharing, and better video codecs. It's hard for Adobe to add those sorts of things quickly without a player extension mechanism. It's probably impossible for them to keep the player size small and add many of the big important things designers and developers want. So it seems there are a lot of good drivers for going with introducing a more extensible/modular architecture for the player: 1.it provides an opportunity for real participation in an eventual open source initiative for the player 2.the player becomes more agile (and therefore competitive) with smaller extensions coming out in-between major player upgrade cycles 3.Adobe can add newer more powerful features to the player without bloating the initial download size much more. Extensions would have to download once as needed. There are probably a lot of reasons folks inside Adobe know about for not doing this that I'm not aware of. For example another thing no one wants to see is a Windows Media Player experience where the player announces it can't find the right codec to play your video. But if those things could be overcome this note is my personal request to Adobe to continue the process you started with AS3 and make it happen for the player too.

Re: [flexcoders] Prana: IoC container for AS3
Hi Christophe,
Thanks for your thoughts on this. It has been helpful.
In Flash 8 I have been using a very large XML file to define all the
forms, controls, and security for a Flash client. A single
XMLAssembler class within each container would create and secure
everything based on its chunk of that XML file. In Flex 2 I'm
experimenting with using Component subclasses to divide up that big XML
file. For the most part that means a lot of the XML has moved into
containers. However, you've probably seen this example in the Flex 2
docs of creating an extended ComboBox:
?xml version=1.0?
!-- components\myComponents\MyComboBox.mxml --
mx:ComboBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
mx:dataProvider
mx:StringCT/mx:String
mx:StringMA/mx:String
mx:StringME/mx:String
mx:StringNH/mx:String
mx:StringRI/mx:String
mx:StringVT/mx:String
/mx:dataProvider
/mx:ComboBox
That's what led me to experiment with what I described earlier and why
filtering in the container got so complicated. Now it seems like the
best course is to use a plain old ComboBox and to move the
ArrayCollection out of the Combo box and into the ComboBox's container.
The container will apply the filter and set the vanilla ComboBox's
dataProvider. So for my immediate needs I think my conclusion is don't
subclass controls in order to contain a model except in the most trivial
cases where there are no cross-cutting concerns. For what it's worth, I
now have a container with some data in it (the unfilteredCollection) and
this one line of code in the enterState() method:
myComboBox.dataProvider =
RoleFilter.filterArrayCollection(unfilteredCollection);
It seems very simple and I feel I've learned something.
To return to where we started I can see that I didn't need to extend the
ComboBox to filter data for security and so the consumer doesn't need to
know about the filter. Knowledge of the filter is now in the container.
That said I'm still very interested to see if a cleaner, more
expressive, and more powerful approach would come out of having an ioc
container. I'm not sure it would, as what I'm doing now seems simple,
but I would like to experiment with different options.
Yours truly,
-Brian
Christophe Herreman wrote:
Hi Brian,
The way I see it, the current implementation has some problems:
- As you say, your custom combobox will always know about the
RoleFilter. (On a sidenote, it might be even better to pass in an
instance of an IRoleFilter so that you have more flexibility in the way
the filter is implemented. You could even define the filter and your
combobox in the applicationContext and have them wired together by the
container at runtime.)
- The fact that you have to create a custom combobox for implementing
security in your application. And would have to do that for every
filtered component.
The most elegant solution for this would be an AOP advice that filters
the dataProvider before assigning it to the consumer/component. The
advantages are:
- the consumer doesn't know anything about the filter
- you don't need to extend the component(s) to add filtering
- the advice can easily be reused and applied to other components with a
dataProvider property. You'd need to alter the pointcut (that defines
where to intercept accessors or methods) which could also be done in the
applicationcontext.
Of course, the downside of this is that it bring a bit of extra
complexity to your application, but IMO that's mostly because we are not
used to thinking in aspects. What do you think?
thx for your input, it is greatly appreciated!

Christophe

I'll be interested to see what you come up with. Right now I'm

cross-cutting security concerns within custom components. For example a
combo box may only be able to show certain options to a user based on
the user's role. The combo starts off with all the options available but
must filter them before displaying them. To do that it calls a static
method of a RoleFilter class. I'm not sure if that's the best way to go
about it though. Here's the script from within a custom combo box as an

I'd prefer it not know anything about filters at all. So, even though

either. So
Re: [flexcoders] Prana: IoC container for AS3
Hi Christophe, My first impression is that you would not need ServiceLocator at all and would end up cutting most of Cairngorm out of your application. I need to think about this some more though. Right now I do something like what you describe as write custom configuration code that reads an xml. I create a WebApplication Factory that sets up a channel and creates and caches RemoteObjects. I don't compile with the services.mxml file at all. Containers get the Remoteobjects they need from the WebApplication RSO factory method and add/remove listeners before calling methods. AOP might simplify this a great deal. I'm not sure... Yours truly, -Brian Christophe Herreman wrote: Hi Brian, there might indeed be a difference between Flex projects that use Flex Data Services vs. compiled Flex/Flash/AS3 projects. The FDS projects have a huge advantage of having the code compiled on the server. For instance to change Cairngorm's ServiceLocator and define where to find let's say a RemoteObject' s endpoint, you could simply replace the services.mxml. In a compiled app, you'd have to recompile it after changing the remote object's details. You could of course write custom configuration code that reads an xml or a text file and defines the remote object's details that way, but if you need to do that for several objects in your application, your code becomes cluttered with configuration code. By using an IoC applicationcontext, you don't need to write custom code for parsing and assigning the properties of an object, because the container does that for you. But also with FDS I can see some advantages in using IoC. I will again refer to Cairngorm where BusinessDelegates typically lookup a service in the ServiceLocator and commands instantiate a business delegate. You now have code like this: this.service = ServiceLocator. getInstance( ).getRemoteObjec t( productService ); (in the business delegate) and var delegate : ProductDelegate = new ProductDelegate( this ); (in the command) But what happens if we go from using remoting to using webservices or httpservices? We would have to change the businessdelegate and possibly also the code of our commands to read the data returned by the remote call, the webservice of the httpservice. It would be better if we had an accessor for a businessdelegate on our command and an accessor for a service on our businessdelegates. If everything is typed to an interface the code would not be aware of any implementation details and we would be able to leave that up to the application context. If we would work out this case in a Cairngorm app, it would most likely require some changes in the framework itself. I'll try to work out an example in the coming weeks as a proof of concept.

Re: [flexcoders] Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?
Hi Scott, I don't understand what you are trying to say. Is there something on a Microsoft page that can help me?

Or maybe that the feature or technology overlap between them is not as large as some people assume it is? When I look at Silverlight from a high level (assuming the clr is implemented) it does seem to me to overlap a great deal with Flash.

At any rate, this is a Flex discussion list, and I really don't want to prolong this thread needlessly.

Re: [flexcoders] Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?
Hi Scott, I'm just looking for information I can use that will help me understand why you seem to be saying the two plugins and everything wrapped around them are so different. If you can't do that until after MIX that's OK. And, if it helps you, I'm not interested in FUD or marketing stuff, and I'm not part of some mob of you guys. I'm just one person reading a very large Flex mailing list that appreciates low noise informative posts that get to useful specifics. So when you can, please point me to something that will help me understand the differences?

[flexcoders] Using an object reference as a value in SetProperty?
Hi, I would like to do something like this:
mx:SetProperty target={accessManager} name=webApplication
value={webApplication} /
In other words when I change state and create an accessManager component
I'd like to use SetProperty to accomplish this:
accessManager.webApplication = webApplication;
But accessManager.webApplication always ends up as null even though
webApplication is created before the state change. I guess this is
because accessManager isn't fully initialized yet??
So instead I did this which works:
mx:State name=ManageAccess
mx:AddChild position=lastChild
manageAccess:AccessManager id=accessManager
creationComplete=initAccessManager()/
/mx:AddChild
/mx:State
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function initAccessManager():void {
accessManager.webApplication = webApplication;
}
]]
/mx:Script
But that is a lot less descriptive and much more verbose!
Does anyone know if SetProperty can assign a reference? Am I missing
something simple?
Yours truly,
-Brian

[flexcoders] invalidateList() problem
For performance reasons I would like to use Array methods to directly
manipulate an array acting as a List component's dataProvider. After
manipulating the array I assumed calling list.invalidateList(); should
refresh the list with the new data. However, when I do that, the first
item is never refreshed unless the list also scrolls. Scrolling the list
will force the first item to redraw correctly.
Here is a code snippet that updates the list:
private function changeArray_invalidateList():void{
startTime = flash.utils.getTimer();
dataArray.length = 0;
for (var i:Number = 0; i testIterations; i++){
dataArray.push(A + i );
}
list.invalidateList();
stopTime = flash.utils.getTimer();
writeln(changeArray_invalidateList time: + (stopTime - startTime));
}
Am I right in assuming this should work?
Also, resetting the dataProvider with the array works. Instead of:
list.invalidateList();
this works:
list.dataProvider = dataArray
and still performs much better than using the IList methods.
Yours truly,
-Brian

[flexcoders] Can't pass objects in NetConnection.call(rtmp.., {name: value});
Hi,
I think there is a bug in the NetConnection.connect() method. I should
be able to pass an object as a parameter following the address. For
example when connecting to the Flash Media Server:
nc.connect(rtmp:/flex2FMS_Lobby_01, {email: blesser} );
However, the object is not received in the application.onConnect method
on the server.
When I pass a string it works:
nc.connect(rtmp:/flex2FMS_Lobby_01, blesser);
The string is received in the server's onConnect method.
I had this problem earlier and think I filed a bug. Before I retest and
refile, has anyone else seen this or got it working?
Yours truly,
-Brian

[flexcoders] Flex 2 FMS problems solved and a short article
Hi Folks, I've been playing with Flex 2 beta 3 and Flash Media Server 2.0.1. In the short time I've had to test, I've found that all the FMS related bugs from the previous Flex betas are gone. Remote SharedObjects, NetStream.soundTransform, Microphone.gain, proper handling of default Microphone and Camera changes etc all seem to work as advertised. Its great to see and thank you to the people who worked on it! I've also updated the short flex2FMS article I posted earlier to work with beta 3: http://flash-communications.net/technotes/fms2/flex2FMS/index.html It's only a trivial test application, but if you are looking for some of the key differences in how the NetConnection, Video, NetStream, and remote SharedObject classes work you might find a few useful things there.

Re: [flexcoders] var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera(); not working
Hi Dominick,
You have to attempt to access the video stream from the camera using an
attachCamera() method before you get the popup settings dialog. For example:
_camera = Camera.getCamera();
if(_camera){
_outStream.attachCamera(_camera);
_video.attachCamera(_camera);
}
So as soon as _outStream.attachCamera(_camera); is called the dialog
will pop up.
If you removed the _outStream.attachCamera(_camera); call, then
_video.attachCamera(_camera); would also make the popup appear.
Yours truly,

Re: [flexcoders] var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera(); not working
Hi Dominick,
I ran a test swf from the desktop and got the allow dialog.
Is it possible you have the Remember box checked in the Settings
Privacy dialog?
If you can get video from the camera and publish it on a stream or
display it in a video area without getting the allow dialog and you
don't have the remember box checked then it sounds like a bug.

[flexcoders] Component Framework RSL cached by the player – is that reasonab le?
Hi, After Sho’s talk at FITC, I’ve been thinking a little more about runtime shared libraries. They are a great idea but the first time someone loads something from a site they have to download each RSL. If they visit different sites that use Flex they will be forced to download much of the same component framework each time. In other words users will be downloading a lot of duplicate code over and over and over again. Each time they do that they will watch the progress bar. Not a good experience. In a post after MIX 06 Branden Hall mentions that the WPF/E plugin will have a limited set of components baked into the plugin: http://www.waxpraxis.org/article/2/we-finally-see-the-flash-killer-from-microsoft It makes me wonder how MS plans to update those components/containers? But the idea has some merit. Now, let’s say that the Flash 9 (or Flash 10) player could download from Adobe and cache each release of the component framework as an RSL. If there was a compiler setting you could use to tell the compiler: “get version 1.2.2 of the framework from adobe.com” you would be set. When your SWF loaded the player would check its cache to see if it already had the framework 1.2.2 RSL. If not it would get it from Adobe. The next time someone needed that version of the framework. The user wouldn’t have to wait for it to load. Does that make sense? It’s obviously too close to Flex 2’s release to seriously request it version 2.0, but maybe it is reasonable to propose it for a later release? I’m curious if people think a scheme like that is workable and beneficial. My apologies if this has already been discussed or is obviously stupid. Yours truly, -Brian -- __ Brian Lesser Assistant Director, Teaching and Technology Support Computing and Communications Services Ryerson University 350 Victoria St. Toronto, Ontario Phone: (416) 979-5000 ext. 6835 M5B 2K3Fax: (416) 979-5220 Office: AB48D E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Enter through LB66) Web: http://www.ryerson.ca/~blesser __ -- 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] Flex 2 and FMS 2 for audio conferencing application
Yes, audio and video streaming seem to work. For example to play a stream:
private function play():void{
if(_inStream) _inStream.close();
// Create the stream:
_inStream = new NetStream(_nc);
// Setup the listeners:
_inStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatus);
_inStream.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,
netSecurityError);
// Play the stream and show the video:
_inStream.play(_streamName);
_video.attachNetStream(_inStream);
}
And to publish a stream:
private function publish():void{
if (_outStream ) _outStream.close();
_outStream = new NetStream(_nc);
_outStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatus);
_outStream.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,
netSecurityError);
// Capture video and publish it
_camera = Camera.getCamera();
if(_camera){
_camera.setMode(160, 120, 6, true);
_outStream.attachCamera(_camera);
_video.attachCamera(_camera);
}
_microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();

}
}

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2 and FMS 2 for audio conferencing application
Hi Dos,
Well, you could use Flash or Flex to make a simple IP-based audio
system. Ofcourse, it will not be truly point-to-point in the sense that
there are no swf-to-swf connections. All communications run through the
Flash Media Server: swf-fms-swf. Consequently you still must pay the
bandwidth costs used by all those connections and the audio flowing over
them from/to the server.
For a reasonably secure system you will need to authenticate users
attempting to connect to the server.
Yours truly,
-Brian

Re: [flexcoders] mx:TitleWindow -- SizeGrip?
Hi Sascha, Sorry, I haven't done it so can't help. But I did file a feature request for that and a more flexible window title bar here: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform I'd like to encourage anyone who thinks a more advanced window component would be useful to file a feature request too. And thinking about this some more I'm not sure why creating a custom window with a more flexible title bar and resize grip should be any more complicated than creating a custom component this way: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? mx:XWindow xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml; xmlns=* resizeGripBottomRight=true mx:XWindowControlBar backgroundColor=#EE mx:Button label=menu/ mx:Label text=My More Advanced Window/ /mx:XWindowControlBar mx:TextArea text=Just a Place holder component/ /mx:XWindow Of course this is just made up to show what I would like to be able to do and doesn't work.

re: [flexcoders] Handling NetStream Runtime Errors..?
Hi, Just following up on my own note. It turns out this was my bug and not Flex 2's! I had a couple streams and removed the addEventListener from the wrong one while testing. :-( Sorry for the noise. Mea culpa, -Brian Hi, I have created a NetStream object that publishes video/audio via a NetConnection to Flash Media Server (Flex beta 1). I have setup a netStatus listener but find that some errors are reported as run-time errors and are not delivered to my netStatus handler. For example: Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent: level=error, code=NetStream.Publish.BadName at flex2FMS_1/flex2FMS_1::netStatus() Is there something I can do to receive this event in an event handler?

Re: [flexcoders] Benefits of Flash Security Model and crossdomain.xml
Hi Eric, Consider the case where a company has servers protected by a gateway firewall. The servers should not be visible from the public Internet at all - only from within the corporate network. Now someone downloads a Flash movie onto a workstation inside the firewall. If Flash allowed you to try to connect to any IP/Port, regardless of where the movie came from, then the Flash movie could act as a behind-the-firewall proxy to try to retrieve information that should never leave the corporation. If Flash allowed that it would banned in more places than it already is. Yours truly, -Brian Eric Raymond wrote: I must be missing something, but I'm a bit confused as to the design of the Flash Security Model and crossdomain.xml. My main question is who is this model intended to protect? As I undestand it, this protects third party servers from disclosing their data to flash clients. That is, if you do not have a cross domain file on a third party server, a flash program cannot access the data. But, any other program (e.g. ,a web browser, socket program, etc) could easily access this data. It's up to the client to recuse itself (and only flash clients recuse themselves). It would seem for a server to protect itself, it would have to enforce the protection, not the client. My expectation was that this was more like a Java sandbox which prevented a program from accessing other sites for the protection of the client, not the server. In such a scheme one might expect the crossdomain.xml file to be controlled by the server which served the flash application (not the 3rd party server) ... a chain of trust. If it's controlled by the 3rd party, then there's not a huge amount of protection. So I can't see any benefit of letting the thrid party server be in control of this file. If the crossdmain.xml file is to protect the server, then it misses the case where non-flash clients can access the server. If it is to protect the client from a malicious thrid party, the third party can simply add a crossdomain.xml file to their site. Perhaps this is to avoid DOS'ing a third party site from a flash app, but attempting to grab the crossdomain.xml file could be a form of attack (although arguably less intensive). So what am I missing here? Perhaps there are use cases that I don't see that this model affords protection either to the client or the server. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] NetConnection.connect parameters not being passed to FMS correctly
Hi,
I've been trying to connect to FMS with additional parameters in the
nc.connect() call. However, I cannot pass an object as a second
parameter. Instead of an object, FMS receives a string containing the
nc.uri as a second parameter.
For example:
nc.connect(rtmp:/flex2FMSTest, {userName:blesser,
password:bigSecret});
I don't receive the object within FMS. Here is some server-side test code:
application.onConnect = function(client){
trace(client connecting client: + client);
trace(Number of arguments to onConnect: + arguments.length);
for (var p=0; p arguments.length; p++) {
trace(arguments. + p + : + arguments[p]);
trace(typeof + p + : + typeof arguments[p]);
}
return true;
}
And here's its output:
client connecting client: [object Client]
Number of arguments to onConnect: 3
arguments.0: [object Client]
typeof 0: object
arguments.1: rtmp:/flex2FMSTest
typeof 1: string
arguments.2: undefined
typeof 2: undefined
I have already set:
NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
Before I file a bug, has anyone got this working?
Yours truly,
-Brian

OK, I've found a few more serious problems with scrolling and filed a

didn't select it.

[flexcoders] SetEventHandler Limitations?
Hi,
I'm having a problem with using SetEventHandler in Flex 2 beta. Maybe it
doesn't do what I would like? Within a State tag I create a component
and class. I'd like the class to listen for connect events from the
component. I can do that in a few ways, but have not been able to set it
up so that I receive the actual event from the component. A code snippet
is below. In it I create an Event but that's not what I want. I want the
event the signOnForm component is broadcasting... My apologies if I have
missed the answer in the docs.
I have tried things like
mx:SetEventHandler event=connect target={signOnForm}
handler={connector}/
and
mx:SetEventHandler event=connect target={signOnForm}
handler={connector.connect}/
without success.
Yours truly,
-Brian

Re: [flexcoders] SetEventHandler Limitations?
FYI, I now can do what I want this way without using SetEventHandler:
mx:states
mx:State name=SignOn
mx:AddChildfmsc:FMSConnector id=connector //mx:AddChild
mx:AddChilduic:SignOnForm id=signOnForm
connect=connector.connect(event)//mx:AddChild
/mx:State
mx:State name=Main
/mx:State
/mx:states
Which is simpler. Still I'm a little surprised I couldn't do that with
SetEventHandler.
For example one of the things I tried:
mx:SetEventHandler event=connect target={signOnForm}
handler=connector.connect(event)/
gives the error:
Implicit coercion of a value with static type 'Object' to a possibly
unrelated type 'flash.events:Event'

Re: [flexcoders] SetEventHandler Limitations?
Hi Jeremy,
Well, first of all this does work:
uic:SignOnForm id=signOnForm connect=connector.connect(event)/
But this doesn't work:
mx:SetEventHandler event=connect target={signOnForm}
handler=connector.connect(event)/
...which is what confuses me.
Anyway, below is the package/class with the connect method that expects
an Event object as a parameter.
Yours truly,
-Brian
package FMSComponents {
import flash.events.Event;
import mx.controls.*;
public class FMSConnector extends flash.events.EventDispatcher{
public function FMSConnector(){
}
public function connect(ev:Event):void{
Alert.show(Time to connect! from: + ev.target);
}
}
}

hi Brian,
seems like this line is where the problem is :
handler=connector.connect(event)
connect() is expecting an Object but what get passed in is an Event.
what's inside the connect() method ?

It looks broken to me too. I went and tried a simple test and got the

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Scrolling a TextArea to the bottom?
Hi Gordon,
Thanks for the suggestion, even though I couldn't get it to work, I
really appreciate your taking the time to explain how things work. It's
good to know that stuff.
Here's what I tried that didn't work:
public function writeln(msg:String):void{
traceArea.text += msg + \n;
traceArea.vPosition = traceArea.maxVPosition;
traceArea.validateNow();
}
Earlier Jesse suggested the line below but I have no idea (being new to
Flex) how to incorporate that into a function:
mx:TextArea id=my_ta change=my_ta.vPosition = my_ta.maxVPosition /
Any ideas how I could get reliable scrolling to the bottom of a text area with
the least amount of code/complexity?
Yours truly,
-Brian
Gordon Smith wrote:
Try calling traceArea.validateNow() after setting the text.
Here is some background about this...
Flex relies heavily on invalidation: you set a property but it doesn't
take effect until later. That allows you, for example, to set a bunch of
properties and have a component only redraw once, instead of redrawing
after each property is changed.
There are three invalidation APIs on a UIComponent
invalidateProperties();
invalidateSize();
invalidateDisplayList();
and most property setters call one or more of these. For example, the
setter for the 'text' property of a TextArea calls
invalidateProperties() and invalidateDisplayList().
These APIs push the component onto various queues that the LayoutManager
maintains.
When the Flash Player is about to render the tree of DisplayObjects onto
the screen, we validate the components in these queues by calling
three validation APIs, which bring the component up-to-date:
validateProperties() - commitProperties()
validateSize()- measure()
validateDisplayList() - updateDisplayList()
The call to commitProperties() pushes the text into the underlying Flash
TextField.
You can cause these three methods to be called prematurely (i.e., before
the player is about to render) by calling validateNow() on the
component.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Scrolling a TextArea to the bottom?
Hi Gordon,
I wrote too soon! This DOES work (with a really minor rendering problem) :
public function writeln(msg:String):void{
traceArea.text += msg + \n;
traceArea.validateNow();
traceArea.vPosition = traceArea.maxVPosition;
}
The minor problem is that the first time I ran the app and the TextArea
scrolled to the bottom, the scroll bar elevator appeared briefly well
below the a scroll bar area. I can't make it do it all the time either
so I'm much further ahead.
Thanks again,
-Brian

[flexcoders] Flex / OOP custom component coding question
Hi, In Flash I can create a class that is associated with a Movie Clip in the library. The clip can contain UI Components and acts as a form within the application. To refer to the form elements within the clip I just need to declare them in the class. It seems cleaner than placing functions on the clip's timeline. When I create a new form-like component in Flex is there a way to do something similar without including all the code in a script tag AND still get the benefit of using MXML to provide all the subcomponents like TextInputs and Buttons? Primarily, I want the class to play the role of Mediator within the form. (Mediator pattern.) My apologies if this is in the docs or I missed it looking back through the mailing list posts.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex / OOP custom component coding question
Hi Dirk,
I thought something like that was going to be the answer, but it's great
to have it laid out step by step - thanks! I guess if I was trying to
formulate a feature request for a later release it might be that we
could edit the class code that Flex generates from an MXML file... kind
of a round trip feature...
Thanks again,

Hi Brian,
not directly, but you could solve it this way:
1) Define a MXML component that describes the layout etc.

2) Create your a Mediator (or Helper) class in ActionScript
(MyComponentHelper.as)
3) define a public var view of type MyComponent inside MyComponentHelper
(or use interfaces to make it more generic)
3) instantiate MyComponentHelper inside MyComponent and pass a reference
to MyComponent to it
-- pseudo code for MyComponent --
mx:HBox
helper:MyComponentHelper view={this} /
mx:Button id=button label=Hello/
...
/mx:HBox
4) because view is just a reference to MyComponent you are save to do
view.button.label = Yo! from inside MyComponentHelper

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex / OOP custom component coding question
Hi,
In Flash I can create a class that is associated with a Movie
Clip in the library. The clip can contain UI Components and
acts as a form
within the application. To refer to the form elements within
the clip I just need to declare them in the class. It seems
cleaner than placing functions on the clip's timeline. When I
create a new form-like component in Flex is there a way to do
something similar without including all the code in a script
tag AND still get the benefit of using MXML to provide all
the subcomponents like TextInputs and Buttons?
Primarily, I want the class to play the role of Mediator
within the form. (Mediator pattern.) My apologies if this is
in the docs or I missed it looking back through the mailing
list posts.
Yours truly,
-Brian

Re: [flexcoders] Flex / OOP custom component coding question
Hi Jesse, Thanks for your posts on both threads. That's really helpful and puts things together that I hadn't fully connected. Much appreciated! Cheers, -Brian JesterXL wrote: There are a few ways. Dirk mentioned one, there are 3 others I've read about. One way is to create your MXML as pure tags form elements with ID's. Then, you create your associated ActionScript that contains only logic (no creation of GUI stuff). You link to this .as file via your mx:Script tag's source property. The plus is your MXML has nothing but GUI components (doesn't have to, but usually). The downside is, your AS must: - use imports even though your MXML already imported them - you must define the controls you are using as variables of your class even though your MXML already has them defined - you have to write out the code as a class Because of those first 2 reasons, I stopped doing it. Yeah, sure, it's a better practice, but it's a duplication of efforts and I'm not wasiting time when I don't have to. Cairngorm takes this a step further via a ViewHelper. It kind of works like Dirk's example, except you can access it via a string name, and it has a reference to the view as a class property without the need to define all the stuff I mentioned. You can get it via a ViewLocator which acts like a Singleton to hold all View's. - Original Message - From: Brian Lesser [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 7:48 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Flex / OOP custom component coding question Hi, In Flash I can create a class that is associated with a Movie Clip in the library.

[flexcoders] Flex 2 AMF0 Remoting and Application.cfm abort
Hi,
When I use nc.call to call a cfc on an old Colfusion 7 remoting gateway
everything works fine (so far). But when I protect the cfc with an

Thanks Mac,
You know, I just assumed it would work in Flex. In Flash I used to be
able to call redraw() right after setting the vPosition property and it
would work ok. I don't suppose there is a simple one liner that does the
job in Flex??

You're doing it correctly, the problem is that when you set the
vPosition, the 'msg' string has not been fully loaded into the

You need to do some sort of check to make sure the textArea content
change has been completed, or wait a few moments before you set vPosition.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 and Amfphp is it possible ?
Hi Peter, I was very pleased to read that you have logged an enhancement request for legacy application support. If, by the time Adobe ships Flex 2, standalone Flex 2 can be made (with a little effort) to work against existing Flash Remoting applications then I think Adobe will have done very well. I realise this may not seem like an important strategic necessity given all the ambitious goals of Flex 2. However, from my perspective the mark of a good platform vendor is that they work hard to provide sensible migration paths that lower the cost of incremental adoption. The more Adobe does to make standalone Flex 2 work on its own the better. I'm sure the new features in FDS will sell themselves and Adobe's customers will be happier if they don't feel they are being forced to switch. By the way, I see an E-mail I sent in response to Dave's earlier post on Thursday arrived in my inbox late Friday. From the mail header, it looks like it spent the better part of a day queued on a Yahoo server. So, if you read my response to Dave on Friday you might be wondering about my ability to take part in a conversation in a rational manner. After all, Dave has already clarified what he was saying, and Matt corrected me that addHeader() was never a public method in Flash. So some of that E-mail was wrong or beside the point by the time it arrived. And who knows when Yahoo will deliver this one? Yours truly, -Brian Peter Farland wrote: [Pete] Sorry, I should have explained further. Flex 2 components use mx.collections.ICollectionView to manage data that may have also come from a remote location (implying that users might have to consider paging concerns when all of the data is not present on the client). If mx.remoting.RecordSet is ported to AS3 and made to extend something like mx.collections.ListCollectionView things would start to look better for legacy data interacting with new components. I think this is a reasonable request for legacy application support - I logged an enhancement request as bug #154595. -- __ Brian Lesser Assistant Director, Teaching and Technology Support Computing and Communications Services Ryerson University 350 Victoria St. Toronto, Ontario Phone: (416) 979-5000 ext. 6835 M5B 2K3Fax: (416) 979-5220 Office: AB48D E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Enter through LB66) Web: http://www.ryerson.ca/~blesser __ Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 and Amfphp is it possible ?
Hi Dave, This thread started with a query regarding using the open source AMF PHP software that a number of people have been using for some time to build Flash/AMF/PHP based applications. Developers in that space naturally want to continue to use the server-side code base (in PHP) they have been building out along with the new standalone Flex 2 IDE and AS3. However, it appears from the Alpha, and from what I gather Mike has been saying, that this will not be possible without reinventing a number of AS3 classes such as RecordSet from scratch. Perhaps worse, though I am not into PHP, is that it may not be possible at all if any code relied on the NetConnection.addHeader() method. This useful, public, and documented method of the NetConnection class has not been implemented and is still under discussion within Adobe. So, unless I'm missing something in what you wrote, I don't think it is reasonable to suggest PHP developers simply switch to using Web services and Java POJOs. I always understood that something like AS3 would to some degree have to break AS2 and AS1 code and that at some point a new document object model might break many APIs. But I do not believe Adobe has to completely break everyone's Flash Remoting applications from end to end. I sincerely hope that NetConnection.addHeader reappears in the beta. I also hope that if Adobe doesn't do it, someone else will come up with a solid AS3 RecordSet implementation that works flawlessly. I wish I knew for certain if that was even possible. I also think this discussion should give everyone pause. Imagine it is 20 months from now. Perhaps, like the ill fated Flash Remoting Gateway Servlet MM tried to sell at $999/CPU, the essential parts of Flex Data Services will be reverse engineered and available as open source for a number of different server-side technologies. Will Adobe once again rewrite everything to make it better and in the process break all its public APIs? Will every Java developer be left wondering if Adobe is just trying to remonetize AMF or if they just don't have the financial/developer resources to retire an API gracefully? In any case, some caution about breaking third party developer's applications from end to end seems appropriate. Yours truly, -Brian Dave Wolf wrote: I don't understand why you can't simply use mx:WebService/ to replace mx:RemoteObject in most cases.

There was some discussion about this on the flashcoders list when flex2 came out. I made a pretty big deal about the fact that the docs seem to indicate that standard remoting will not be something that is supported. Mike Chambers (a MM employee) indicated that it was supported. But what he meant was that it was supported at a super low level and you would essentially have to write all the low level remoting code for this. It seemed pretty clear to me that their intent was to, ahem, **encourage** remoting users to buy cold fusion or Flex Data Services, in order to do painless remoting, and that they were essentially orphaning anyone who was not doing remoting with one of their pricey gateways. Now, perhaps this post will bring adobe employees out of the woodwork crying foul and saying I am wrong. But the fact that there is any ambiguity about this isssue, is, in and of itself, a real problem. The fact that that there is not some strong statement of continued **full** support for traditional remoting is, to me, shameful.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 and Amfphp is it possible ?
Thanks Matt,
You know I just assumed addHeader was a public function because it
showed up in the Flash Help. But of course you're right. It only does
that because I've installed the Flash Communication Server and the entry
is only in the server-side ASD.
When the Remoting classes were completely changed after Flash 7 shipped
I didn't bother with them. I just started using the NetConnection
directly - it worked fine and actually reduced my swf size a little. It
wasn't hard to figure out how to set credentials from the remoting code:
public function setCredentials(userId:String, password:String ):Void
{
addHeader(Credentials, false, {userid: userId, password:
password});
}
And then all I had to do was load the RecordSet class. Aside from a
small saving in file size it saved me a ton of work.
At any rate since you folks have gone to the trouble of implementing:
gateway_conn.objectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0
I do feel you should complete the job and implement everything required
to fully support existing implementations of AMF0 including
authentication via http headers.
I understand you are really busy and want to say thanks for looking into
this.
Yours truly,
-Brian

We're still in alpha and figuring things out. More details will be
coming.
Also for what it's worth I do see in our internal class definition
NetConnect.addHeader, but it is considered an undocumented function for
the general Flex release since it is meant for Flashcom. If you check
the Flash MX 2004 docs you'll notice NetConnection has very few
documented functions, the additional functionality is in the Flashcom
docs which we are not duplicating.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 and Amfphp is it possible ?
Thanks Jeff, Please see below: Jeff Tapper wrote: As Renaun pointed out, you can still use AMF1 with ColdFusion. You just dont use the built in RemoteObject tag. His solution is a total of 5 lines of code, so that doesnt really strike me as all that difficult. Well, I'm with Renaun in terms of making a connection to the gateway and calling a remote method. No problem. I can use NetConnection.call to call a remote method in Coldfusion without any problems if: 1. I don't authenticate against an Application.cfm file. Authentication doesn't work because NetConnection.addHeader() is not available. So that's a show stopper right now for using my remoting gateway as is. I hope they do decide to implement addHeader() eventually. 2. There doesn't seem to be a RecordSet class in the Flex 2 Alpha I can register as a class to correctly handle a query returned by Coldfusion. For now this is a show stopper as most of my CFCs return a query. I have to admit I have not invested the time to try to port the RecordSet class from Flash 8 to Flex 2 alpha. If I persist with Flex 2 I may end up trying to do that. If you want to use the Flex 2 RemoteObject tag, all you need to do is install the CFAdapter on the server. Yes, it looks that way, but I have a lot of testing to do before I know if that is a safe path. If it breaks the existing Remoting Gateway at all or causes subtle side effects in CFCs called from Flex 2, Flash via AMF 1, and Flash Communication Server, then I'm in big trouble with my existing apps. If it coexists happily I might end up a happy camper. I understand some may be change adverse, so I suggest to those, they should not get involved with alpha software. Changes happen all the time. Chances are alot of code we write against the alpha will need to be changed when the beta is released. That is just the nature of product development. I don't expect alpha's to be all neat and polished and complete. In fact I'm amazed at just how good the docs and everything are for Flex 2. It is really really impressive! But I have an aversion to API churn which is a different thing than changes in new software. I accept that AS3 is going to break some things in AS2 and AS1 and understand the value of a new document object model after all these years. I'm less enthusiastic when I don't see backward compatibility at the network protocol level. Well, I'll say it plainly. I'm a little shocked anyone would consider not implementing NetConnction.addHeader(). But, then again, maybe I'm missing something... Again, if anyone can shed more light on all of this I'd really love to read about it.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: php flex-2 standalone
Hi Renaun,
Have you got this working so that a DataGrid can display a query
returned by CFMS in Flex 2 standalone? I tried doing this:
_recordResponder = new Responder(handleRecordResult,
handleRecordStatus);
_nc = new NetConnection();
_nc.objectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
_nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEventType.NET_STATUS,
onNetStatus);
_nc.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEventType.SECURITY_ERROR,
onSecurityError);
_nc.connect(http://localhost/flashservices/gateway;);
_nc.call(blesser.mirror.getRecords, _recordResponder);
Followed later by:
function handleRecordResult(result){
grid.dataProvider = result;
}
But of course I don't see the record set in the grid. It just has one
column named serverInfo.
I came across this post:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=585threadid=1081224enterthread=y
which seems to indicate it likely won't work. Any light you can throw on
getting back a record set would be most welcome.
Yours truly,
-Brian

I used the AS NetConnection class to connect a Flex 2 app to the
current AMF ColdFusion format just fine. The newer RemoteObject
component in Flex uses the newer AMF3 format. (There are 3 versions
now, check out the google link below on the AMF3).

AMFPHP's webpage has some AS classes that can be used also.

Main thing to remember is with Flex2 there is a new AMF format
(version 3) so beware of compability problems in the future. I assume
they are not going to get rid of the first two AMF formats but just be
ware that you do not try and mix gateway and connections up.

Re: [flexcoders] php flex-2 standalone
Hi Jignesh, I've been experimenting a little to see if I could do the same thing with Coldfusion's Remoting gateway and Flex 2. As I understand it Remoting was based on the NetConnection object's call method. You could call a remote method, include parameters and get any type of ActionScript object back. If you included or imported and instantiated a RecordSet object in your Flash movie, you would get a RecordSet back from a query and could simply assign it to a DataGrid's dataProvider property. In Flex 2 DataProvider is deprecated and I don't think there is a RecordSet class. The NetConnection.call method does seem to work but I don't see anyway to cast the returned object into a RecordSet or equivalent. So as far as I can see (with the limited work I've done so far) you would have to do a lot of work to be able to use NetConnection.call and get usable results from an existing Flash Remoting Gateway. Since I have a bunch of apps that use the current Coldfusion Flash Remoting Gateway and don't want to be forced to use DataServices, I'm not sure how much I should be interested in Flex 2. I also discovered that NetConnection.addHeader does not work in Alpha 1 and Matt Chotin was kind enough to say it is still under discussion. I think I would need that for authentication against my current Coldfusion apps via Flash Remoting. I am concerned that Flex 2 standalone will not allow me to work directly with server-side applications that use the existing Coldfusion Gateway or that it will require extensive hacking on the Flex 2 client side to make it work.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: setUsernamePassword on RemoteObject
Picking up on an old thread from back in July, where calling addHeader
on a NetConnection object got authentication working with Coldfusion
when I try to do the same thing in Flex 2 Alpha 1, I get:
code: NetConnection.Call.Failed and description: HTTP: Failed
Does anyone know if addHeader is still supposed to be available, if its
a bug, or if the parameters have changed?
Yours truly,
-Brian
Credentials sent in custom manner are never sent using HTTP Headers. The
information is contained within the AMF/HTTP POST body.
The Flex-only API, setUsernamePassword, works on a per request basis and
sends credential information inside a special Flex Envelope type which
can have per-request headers. The legacy Flash Remoting setCredentials
API worked on a per AMF packet basis (which potentially contained a
batch of several requests as per NetConnection) and was sent as an AMF
Header. Either way, you can only have one J2EE or CF session per
connection, and connections are pooled on endpoint URI in Flex. So it
should be fine for you to use the old setCredentials() API in most
cases.
You could just call setCredentials() on the RemoteObject connection
property yourself... it simply sets an AMF Header on the underlying
NetConnection with an anonymous object that has two properties 'userid'
and 'password'.
addHeader(Credentials, false, {userid: userId, password:
password});

I can see the Credentials being set in the header when i view the

Any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: setUsernamePassword on RemoteObject
Thanks Ian,
I'm trying to make remoting calls without the adapter and other classes.
I think I should be able to do this with NetConnection alone but have
not been able to make addHeader work for authentication to Coldfusion
from Flex 2.
Yours truly,
-Brian

Re: [flexcoders] Re: setUsernamePassword on RemoteObject
Thanks Matt, For what it might be worth, I have applications where I've used the NetConnection and RecordSet classes and little else. This has saved me from worrying about changes in the remoting classes and components in the past. The easiest Flex adoption path for me is if I can bolt new standalone based clients on to existing Flash/Coldfusion applications. I was hoping to port a couple apps to Flex 2 this way.
