Re: [flexcoders] Regexp matching string between two nodes

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi Shaun,

Thanks a lot for your help. But was tying to avoid using the loop,
given that it might slow down the process if there are a lot of items
matching the regexp.

[flexcoders] Loaded Runtime Style Sheet rendering

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi,

Is there any kind of event that is dispatched once a runtime style
sheet (theme) is loaded to an application and the change is _visible_
to the user?

It's possible to know when the theme has been implemented, but I
haven't been able to catch when the theme is actually rendered and
visible to the user.

Depending on the theme and components being used, the loaded runtime
style sheet rendering might vary, which is why I need some sort of
event to tell me when it's initialized.

Thanks,
Claudia

Re: [flexcoders] Loaded Runtime Style Sheet rendering

[Claudia Barnal]

Thanks Igor,

I'm not sure this is what I need.
I'm not loading CSS files, I'm loading compiled CSS SWFs. And my
question was really regarding an event being dispatched when the CSS
(SWF) has been loaded and rendered in the application.

[flexcoders] Sort object by property name

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi,

How can I sort an Object?

For example I have the following object:
{banana:yellow, apple:green, lemon:yellow, cherry:red}

and I need to sort it so that it looks like this:
{apple:green, banana:yellow, cherry:red, lemon:yellow}

I need to assign the colors in a for in loop, for which the order is important.

Thanks,

Hi,

what is a quick way to find out what colors are being used in a Bitmap

Basically, I need to find the each color instance to create a Color

[flexcoders] Simluate async method

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi,

How could I make an async method in actionscript.

Something like this:

}

function makeOrangeJuice():void
{

function orageJuiceReady():void

Or how else can I avoid the timeout error with a modal JavaScript Alert.

[flexcoders] Find original color of a Shape

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the color of an embedded shape with this code:
trace(Shape(embeddedSprite.getChildAt(0)).transform.colorTransform.color);

but all I get is 0.

If I add a color to the colorTransform, I'm able to retrieve it.

So I'm guessing the colorTransfor only returns a color once you have
explicitly assigned one to it.

So, how would one be able to retrieve the color of that shape without
using the colorTransform?

Any pointers would be great,
Thanks

   Hi,

  1. Why does the Decorator become limited because the UIComponent needs
 to be added to the display list?

 This goes back to what I said about what decoration is.

 True decoration means,

 var juiceMaker:JuiceMaker = new JuiceMaker(); // Button
 juiceMaker = new JuiceMaster(juiceMaker); // implements IJuiceMaker

 juiceMaker.makeJuice(apple);

 - which then calls JuiceMaster's makeJuice, which then would call
 JuicMaker's makeJuice().

 I think you were mixing apples and oranges(no pun intended) when you first
 thought about this.

 As you can see after you decorate the Button with JuiceMaster, even
 thought it would implement the same type,
 juiceMaker is no longer a DisplayObject and thus, you cannot do this;

 myBox.addChild(juiceMaker);

 Does that make sense?

[flexcoders] Fill outline of a Sprite

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi,

How can I fill the outline of Sprite?

I have Sprites with different shapes, but only the outline. And I want
to give the shapes a background color.

In Flash you can do something like a fill with the Paint Bucket
Tool... but how can you do that in ActionScript?

Any pointers?

Thanks,
Claudia

Re: [flexcoders] Fill outline of a Sprite

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi Alex, I appreciate your help, but could you be a bit more explicit?

As far as I know, the beginFill requires you to assign the shape by using
the lineTo subsequently.

In my case I don't have all the coordinates of the lines of the shape.

Thanks,
Claudia

Re: [flexcoders] Fill outline of a Sprite

[Claudia Barnal]

Thanks Alex,

I had already tried this. But as I mentioned in my first post, the Sprite
has different shapes. these could be for example the outline of a triangle,
of a circle etc. and this is what I want to fill. The beginFill works great
for the squares and rectangles.

So what I'm guessing is that I need to find the bounds of the outline and
fill whatever is inside that.

I'm not sure there is something like this available within ActionScript
(maybe some custom API).

Thanks

[flexcoders] Decorator Pattern 101

[Claudia Barnal]

I believe I might be missing something with the Decorator Pattern.
I've tried to get a simple example to work, but I get too mixed up
with all the abstracts and what not.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

Extend a Button and add some functionality to it gotten from another
class (non visual). From what I can understand, this is what the
Decorator Pattern is for.

In pseudo code this is the basic functionality I want:

class JuiceMaster
{
public function makeJuice(type:String):void
{
trace(Happily making, type,  juice!, Tralalala!);
}
}

class JuiceMaker extends Button
{
public function JuiceMaker()
{
Super();
makeJuice(apple);
}
}

And in MXML, I should be able to do something like this:

JuiceMaker id=myJuiceMaker click=myJuiceMaker.makeJuice('orange') /

Of course this example isn't going into any detail, and doesn't make
much sense, but this is somewhat my need.

Any explicit explanation on how to get something like this to work
with the Decorator Pattern is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

only work if I embed the MP3 trough ActionScript. I find it a bit
unfair (for the MP3 file) that it will only work with images and not
with MP3s.

Below is an ActionScript embed of a PNG and an MP3 file and a CSS
embed of the same files. In the first one both files are embedded, in
the second, only the PNG is embedded... Why?



// This works for both files:

[Embed(source=image.png)]
public var image:Class;

[Embed(source=sound.mp3)]
public var sound:Class;




// This works only for the PNG:

MyComp
{
image: Embed(source=image.png);
sound: Embed(source=sound.mp3);
}



Thanks,
Claudia

[flexcoders] Lightweight Image Embedd

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi all,

What is the most lightweight way to embed an image.

I am guessing it would involve Extending/Implementing the DisplayObject class.
I don't want the overhead involved using anything spawned of the UIComponent.

Thanks,
Claudia

Re: [flexcoders] Click through a Container

[Claudia Barnal]

Yeah, as Juan told me, tried it and it works great :) Thanks!

So here is another question... What if I have other controls in that
container that also need mouse interactivity?

As it is, the mouseEnabled property works great if I want to click through
the container, but what if that container has controls that need to be
clicked and stuff?

Thanks again,
Claudia

Doh! I forgot! Try setting the mouseEnabled property of your Canvas to
false.

Hi Gordon,

I do need as much interactivity as possible :)

Isn't there something like turn shield on or off? I noticed that if you
don't define a background color or alpha, you can interact with the button.

As for the actual WHY question... the answer is: The designer wants it.
It is really not just one button under the translucent piece... it is a
part of the application, and the button and other controls happens to be
right there.

Thanks,
Claudia

 The problem is that I can't get to the someValue (10 in this case) i

 How do I know when I have access to the someValue=10 set in MXML,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: creationComplete on custom non UI component

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi Michael, thanks for your reply.

 So it's not subclassed from the Flex framework?
Exactly, it is a non visual AS component.

Example:
!-- In the MXML --
MyComponent someValue=10 

// In the AS
class MyComponent{

   public var someValue:Number;

   public function MyComponent(){

  trace(someValue); // I am not getting the value set in MXML

   }
}

I am using the mx.binding.utils.ChangeWatcher to check when the var
receives the value from MXML, but I don't think it is the way to go,
but it is the only solution I could find :|

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: creationComplete on custom non UI component

That would also work, the problem is that I really don't want to check
each time the value changes, I only wan't to know _when_ I have access
to the value assigned on the MXML for the first time. Having that
value I can continue with the rest of the component's execution.

Thanks again for your help Michael,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: creationComplete on custom non UI component

That works just fine :) I really appreciate your help, thanks.

But...
It is somewhat the same principle as the ChangeWatcher idea. I even
get the same warning when compiling using both methods:
warning: unconverted Bindable metadata in class blah blah

So, I am wondering if there is no way to know when the values are accessible.

What do our Adobe friends say about this little question? Is it
something that could possibly be done without warnings in the IDE? Is
it something that could be done?

Thanks again Michael, for your time and persistence.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: creationComplete on custom non UI component

[Claudia Barnal]

 why do you need it bindable if you are only checking it once? (IE if you used 
 a setter with a boolean flag) ?

I really wish I didn't need to bind, but that is the only way I can
catch a change, after the _first_ change I unvatch the property. For
some reason I get the same warning when using the setter with a
boolean flag(???).

I also have very little experience with this kind of problem :)

Re: [flexcoders] Checking for ApplicationControlBar on parent

[Claudia Barnal]

Just checking if anyone is able to reproduce this, or if anyone has a
better way to do this.

  So you're accessing the controlBar property, which is public, and
  getting this error? Can you post a small sample that reproduces this
  problem?

[Claudia Barnal]

 You have to cast 'parent' to type Application.

Thanks Manish, that's what I needed :)

[flexcoders] [F2B3] Class Library

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi, I'm building a Class Library for Flex 2 B3 (both .as and .mxml)
that I want to reuse and expand throughout most of my projects, if not
all.

What is the best way to handle this and how would I do it (settings in
Eclipse, folder location, import values in AS, etc.)?

I couldn't find any Best Practice documentation for Flex 2, so I
thought you guys could help me out.

Thanks,
Claudia

Re: [flexcoders] Re: [F2B3] Class Library

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your info, I'm looking into Cairngorm too, but I was
reffering more on my own custom components and classes that I want to
reuse in a proper way rather than say, copy and paste the needed
files into each project folder I build.

Thanks,
Claudia

 Claudia,

 Maybe you should take a look at the Cairngorm framework first before
 you start from scratch. A lot of common design problems have already
 been solved here. Steven Webster's six-part article series is an
 excellent introduction:

Re: [flexcoders] Re: [F2B3] Class Library

[Claudia Barnal]

I seperate Projects in FB2, but use the same classpath for SHARED core things.

This sounds just about what I am looking after... and is what I can't achieve.

How do you import these classes if they are outside your project folder/package?

It might be an extremely obvious answer, but I can't get hold of it :(

Thanks Michael,
Claudia

 Hi,

 Use classpaths.

 I have one classpath that is hooked into subversion. IE c:/Flex/classes/com/teotiGraphix/...

 I seperate Projects in FB2, but use the same classpath for SHARED core things. But a component or application that needs it's own 'tear off class file stub', I create it in the project directory. IE If you wanted to zip up the 'component' dependencies without the core. Also, it's a way to not look at everything at once.

 This then acts as multiple layers that exist in that core classes class path.

 Don't take my word for it, trying to find info like this is hard right now becasue Flex is still creating best proctices.

 Peace, Mike

 PS, I am a framework component developer and this works great for libraries that you speak of.

Great, that's what I was looking for.

Thanks a lot Mike

Obviously you are less of a newbie than I am ;)

On 5/16/06, Michael Schmalle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


 Hi,

 Ok, you need to;

 1) Open you Project in FB2
 2) Right Click on your Project's main node
 3) Select properties
 4) Select Flex Build Path
 5) Select the Source path Tab
 6) hit Add Folder
 7) Navigate to your shared classes folder
 - if say you have /classes/com/teotiGraphix
 8) Select the classes folder as the root becasue it contains the start of your classpath 'com'
 9) hit OK and you now are sharing your classpath with any project you want.

 Things to note;

 When you do this, you can create new folders, .as, .mxml files right in the linked classpath.
 Watch if you use subversion when deleting files.

 Other than that from a newbie with Eclipse, it works good for me right now.

 Peace, Mike

Re: [flexcoders] F2B2 : Eclipse : Changing the Documents location

Based on this and on our conversation 4 days ago

Re: [flexcoders] [OT] Developing/Compiling Java in Flexbuilder 2

Matt, you are right. It might be overkill including the whole thing,
but why not provide some friendly and helpful instructions on how
create different development setups with the required
plugins/downloads. I think most of us would find that a time saver,
plus you get the benefit of letting Flex newcomers know that they can
develop Java (and others) in the same IDE. I'm sure most of them would
find that very attractive.

See, now you have a new sales pitch for Flex(builder) 2 :)

Claudia

 when you're selecting what to install that you should do the plugin if
 you want to develop Java also.  But I think it's probably not a great
 idea for us to include the JDT itself.

[flexcoders] [OT] Developing/Compiling Java in Flexbuilder 2

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi,

I've been told I can use Flexbuilder 2 to do my Java stuff, as it is
an Eclipse based IDE. But I am a bit lost with ALL the Java plugins
needed (and available) for Eclipse. So I was wondering if you guys
knew the required steps and plugins needed to make Flexbuilder 2 Java
enabled, or if you know any links to a tutorial that explains these
steps.

(By the way, I have been using  Flexbuilder 2/Eclipse for a few days,
so there are a lot of things I have yet to learn about it)

Thanks,
Claudia

Richard,

Thanks for the info, I had thought of doing so, but had (still have)

case that I have already installed Flexbuilder and what not.

 Don't install the standalone FlexBuilder 2, instead download the Eclipse SDK
 (eclipse.org) along with the JDK 1.5 (java.sun.com), unzip that to a

 automatically have the JDT and everything required for J2SE development (and
 J2EE if you have your app container already).

Yes, that actually did help removing some bugs, but I still couldn't

Thank you so much for your help.

 Hi Claudia,

 What seems to be missing is the namespace declaration in the
 flex-config.xml file.

 You can find the flex-config.xml file in your Flex server instance at
 flex_root/WEB-INF/flex/flex-config.xml

 Look for the namespaces tag. It will look like this:

 namespaces
namespace uri=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
manifest/WEB-INF/flex/mxml-manifest.xml/manifest
/namespace
 /namespaces

 and change it to:

 namespaces
namespace uri=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
manifest/WEB-INF/flex/mxml-manifest.xml/manifest
/namespace
namespace uri=http://www.iterationtwo.com/cairngorm;
manifest/WEB-INF/flex/cairngorm-manifest.xml/manifest
/namespace
 /namespaces

 You will also need to make sure that you have the
 cairngorm-manifest.xml file in your flex_root/WEB-INF/flex/
 directory. This can be found where you extracted cairngorm and inside
 the bin directory.

 This should solve your namespace problems. Let me know how you go.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Help installing Cairngorm 0.99

[Claudia Barnal]

Heh, none taken...

I've been playing arround with Flex for some months already (MXML and
ActionScript). I have quite a big understanding of what Cairngorm is
and what it could be used for (I use ARP for Flash) but I would love
to give Cairngorm a go.

The fact that I am a GUI girl and usually never mess with the server
(I do interact with servers, not set them up) wuldn't really mean I
don't have a need for Cairngorm to develop a Flex app.

 Hi Claudia,


 No offense here, but maybe it's best if you start looking at Flex itself 
 first before diving into an architectual framework, such as Cairngorm. Get 
 some Flex examples running, that connect to the serverside. When you've build 
 some applications, you can also much more easily understand why we use those 
 pattterns because you might imagine the problems that can come up.

 With problems such as user_classes you can find those in the Flex 
 documentations, such as livedocs.macromedia.com. The user_classes folder is 
 often used for Flex components packaged as SWC files, such as cairngorm.swc. 
 Just drop this file into user_classes, and you have the framework code in 
 your project availaible.

 Anyway, I'll check the docs for things we can make better.


 Best,
 Alex

 Hi Andrew,

 Thanks for the reply.

 Basically, I couldn't understand much of anything I read (imagine Charlie 
 Brown listening to his teacher).

 I am not a person who has dealt with any servers (JRun, Flex, etc.) for which 
 I believe that the explanation is far to simple, expecting that the user 
 knows what is being said.

 I would love an explanation where you tell the user what to do with each 
 specific file (included in the zip) with some more detail.

 1. Grab x and put it in y.
 2. Replace i with j.
 3. Don't do anything with k, as it is only for documentaion.
 n. ...
 Done

 For example, I am not sure if I should copy over the cairngorm.swc
 or the org.nevis.cairngorm.* package to the user_classes folder in Flex.

 I am by no means saying that the description doesn't cover every necessary 
 step, but it is very hard to follow if you really don't have a clue of what 
 is being said, and all you want to do is start using Cairngorm to develop 
 your Flex apps.

 Thanks again for the reply,
 Claudia

Maybe if I include the errors I get when trying to compile the login
sample, you would be able to tell me what's wrong.

[flexcoders] Help installing Cairngorm 0.99

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi,

Would it be possible if you guys could give me a hand installing
Cairngorm (I'm using Flex 1.5).

I tried following the the installation guide (InstallationGuide.pdf),
but all I achieved was to get even more lost, as it doesn't really
give you any simple and descriptive instructions.

I have installed Flex with the integrated JRun Server and everything
is in the default installation folder.

Thanks a lot for any guidance.

Claudia

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Help installing Cairngorm 0.99

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the reply.

Basically, I couldn't understand much of anything I read (imagine
Charlie Brown listening to his teacher).

I am not a person who has dealt with any servers (JRun, Flex, etc.)
for which I believe that the explanation is far to simple, expecting
that the user knows what is being said.

I would love an explanation where you tell the user what to do with
each specific file (included in the zip) with some more detail.

1. Grab x and put it in y.
2. Replace i with j.
3. Don't do anything with k, as it is only for documentaion.
n. ...
Done

For example, I am not sure if I should copy over the cairngorm.swc
or the org.nevis.cairngorm.* package to the user_classes folder in
Flex.

I am by no means saying that the description doesn't cover every
necessary step, but it is very hard to follow if you really don't have
a clue of what is being said, and all you want to do is start using
Cairngorm to develop your Flex apps.

Thanks again for the reply,
Claudia

 Hi Claudia,

 The installation instructions were quite specific. Can you please
 provide some further information as to what exactly isn't working?
 This will help me (us) better provide a solution to your problem.

 Thanks,
