[flexcoders] EnhancedButtonSkin release
Hey all ... Just wanted to let you know I released an improved version of the halo button skin, providing for much finer control over gradient colors and individual corner radii.

Cheers, -Daniel
Re: [flexcoders] Changing corner radii on a button

[flexcoders] Onscreen keyboard

Re: [flexcoders] Onscreen keyboard
Thanks Jim. Using automation as a base is a very good idea. TextFieldAutomationHelper seems like the key. It may be a bit more heavy-handed then I need for this application, but I haven't decided which way to go yet. Thanks again ...

I know I can get the current focused object via focusManager.getFocus(), but I am uncertain as to the best way to 'simulate' the keyboard. I can create KeyboardEvents, but how do I dispatch them so that the appropriate components are listening? First, get the Flex 2.0.1 updater if you haven't already. The new Flex Automation framework source code that's enclosed in it will make all the difference between a couple hours of work versus pulling your hair out in frustration for weeks on end. For components not based on TextField objects, it's trivial--call the dispatchEvent() method on the currently focused component with script-instantiated KeyboardEvent instances. That's how Flex Automation does it. You can see for yourself if you have the Flex 2.0.1 update installed. Just dig framework source directory and check out line 272 of: mx/automation/delegates/core/UIComponentAutomationImpl.as TextFields are trickier. To get correctly emulated behavior, you need to both emulate the original keystroke plus do some text manipulation, since not all of it's behavior is mediated through the script-accessible keyboard events. Aside from dispatching the event, you'll also need to set the selection to the next position and then replace the selected text with the character specified by your virtual keyboard for regular keystrokes, while special characters like enter, delete, backspace and such require some custom handling. Again, the automation classes show you exactly how to do this, see the replayAutomatableEvent method (lines 270-436) of: mx/automation/delegates/TextFieldAutomationHelper.as That should be sufficient for most text entry situations. If you need more even advanced event emulation, you should probably consider using Flex Automation. Having tried and failed to do much of the same thing using ActionScript 2 in the past, I must say that the automation framework is truly a lifesaver when it comes to such skulduggery. While automation is primarily intended for interaction logging and automated replay for testing purposes, it can also be exploited to simulate all manner of user interactions in non-standard ways (such as your virtual on-screen keyboard). While the Mercury QTP plugin is needed for out-of-the-box testing with Mercury, you don't actually need to download the plugin installer (and shell out for a commercial FDS license) to get access to and make use of Flex Automation proper for your own purposes. To hook into Flex Automation yourself, you'll need to write your own custom adapter classes implementing the IAutomationManager and IAutomationObjectHelper interfaces and connect these to whatever floats your boat (perhaps a server back-end, a built-in debugging dialog, or maybe even a future version of John Grden's XRay targeting Flex and ActionScript 3). This shouldn't be too hard for a seasoned Flex developer familiar with the rest of the existing framework--I've managed to make a good bit of headway into writing a few test classes that integrate with the Flex Automation framework after a weekend's worth of hacking. Unfortunately though, there's currently very little in terms of existing examples or documentation to help you find your way around in there. Hopefully, Adobe might remedy this in the near future (hint, hint). Jim Cheng effectiveUI

Re: [flexcoders] AS3 code obfuscators

I don't know of any publicly available obfuscators. But, given the fact that Adobe has contributed the source code for the AS3 virtual machine to the the Mozilla community as the Tamarin project, it would not be very difficult for one to be written. Be forewarned, however, there is already a basic AS3 decompiler written in AS3 available with the sources, and in them lie myriad starting points for writing bytecode analysis programs in both C++ and AS3 (or any other language of your choice, if you care to do the porting). See: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/ http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/ http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2007/01/as3-decompiler/ http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2007/01/as3-decompiler/ Like others have already mentioned, you're best off keeping your highly sensitive code tightly secured on the server-side. That is to say, you really shouldn't implement trade secrets or sensitive financial data encryption algorithms in a SWF. But if you want to make your latest Flex-based game a little bit harder to steal or cheat at, obfuscation might at best deter casual thievery and create more busy work for the truly dedicated. That being said, there are still quite a few very interesting things that can now be done given that we've got the Tamarin source code. ;) Jim

Re: [flexcoders] Embed statement and relative paths
Relative paths, strangely, are relative to the *file* that you are
embedding assets in. So what I assume is that you are embedding in an
MXML or CSS file some ways down in your project hierarchy.
My solution to this was to create an EmbedRegistry class which is the
sole location of embed statements throughout my (medium sized) project.
/** Truncated version of the Embed registry. **/
public class EmbedRegistry
{
[Embed(source='../../../../assets/static_assets.swf',
symbol='scene_icon')]
public static const sceneIcon : Class;
[Embed(source='../../../../assets/static_assets.swf',
symbol='presentation_icon')]
public static const presentationIcon : Class;
}
Then, I can use the classes like such:
mx:Button icon={ EmbedRegistry.sceneIcon } /
Hope that helps!

Re: [flexcoders] source code management and FlexBuilder

using these paths in my Flex Project source path
For example, create a Linked Resource MYPROJECT_SDK, and then add it
to the Flex project source Path: ${MYPROJECT_SDK}. This will allow you
to check in .project files with no relative paths.
Hope this helps!

Good poont. The example I gave is not exactly describing code-behind. I

Nevertheless, I do use code-behinds (using an Actionscript class as the

abstract class where I expect there to be multiple subclasses, not as a
code-behind for a single class.

All was going well, but I recently hit a bug where FP9 seemed to misinterpret object/array references when deserializing the Remoting data. I am pretty sure this is not an OpenAMF bug, as the AS1/AS2 AVM deserializes the data correctly. Is this by any chance a known issue? Thanks, -Daniel
[flexcoders] Bug with List when variableRowHeights = true
I am experiencing a bug with the List component when using
variableRowHeights=true . The bug occurs when the first item in the
list is very big. Basically, the list 'blows out' its minimum height
unnecessarily to the point where you lose the bottom scroll arrow.
The following example demonstrates this ... I did already file a bug for
this, but I am hoping there is a workaround for now.
Thanks,
-Daniel

[flexcoders] Binding behavior changes between 9,0,16 and 9,0,28
Has anyone noticed any behavior changes between 9,0,16 and 9,0,28? In a fairly large-scale project, I have noticed one or two instances of a binding getting broken in 9,0,28. I have not been able to create an easily reproducable test case. The particular issue was using a button within a custom IDropInListItemRenderer implementor, for what its issue. Anyone have any clues as to what may have changed to cause this issue? Thanks, -Daniel

[flexcoders] (was) Styling in Flex is officially ridiculous -- New button skin
One thing this discussion proves is how difficult it is to create a button flex that provides enough flexibility for the average developer. I don't think the border is the only limitation. Here are a few other limitations with the default button skin: - Selected states only support a single fill color. - Corner radii cannot be specified individually (although the FocusSkin somehow supports this) There are probably others. Perhaps it would be worth aggregating these requirements, and then create a community supported Flex skin repository? I would definitely be willing to help with this. Thoughts? Michael Schmalle wrote: something that I feel needs to be addressed in order to improve the Flex framework. I think that is all you had to say in your original post. As far as me, along with the line above... what do we do? We know this isn't going to be changed in the near future.

One other thing, the little elves hiding behind the Adobe wish form are amazing responsive. When I make a bug / feature request, I usually get a verification or clarification email within a few days. Pretty good stuff. Gordon Smith wrote: The only thing that annoyed me about Ben's complaint was the hyperbole of his subject line, Styling in Flex is officially ridiculous. (My own not-so-humble opinion is that Flex's use of CSS styles is pretty cool.) I agree with him that it would be nice if ButtonSkin were more styleable. More importantly, we need to hear about the cases where developers think Flex makes something too difficult, because he's right that it's the only way to get mass adoption. That doesn't mean our team will address every one of them, due to competing priorities and judgments about how many other developers are likely to have the same complaint.

[flexcoders] To Adobe - new release improvements??
Hey Adobe guys, Is it possible for you to address some of the major (or non-major) improvements in the coming Flex release? In particular, I am keen to know if there were significant improvements made to Flexbuilder itself. Stuff like increased compiler performance, ease of use with relative paths, etc would be of interest to me. A close second would be roughly the number of bugs fixed in the actually Flex UI framework. As my project continues to grow, I am definitely getting antsy for a new release! Thanks, -Daniel

While I don't have Websphere experience, this sounds suspiciously like an error message that happens when a servlet or filter tries to set an HTTP response header for a response that has already been written to. I would inspect your web-app configuration and make sure you don't have any extra servlet filters on the Flex servlets.

You can check out either version ... For those without the Observe /

Re: [flexcoders] Conditional Login inside curly braces for binding
Hi Peter (and all) ...
I finally got around to checking out your proposed method, and
unfortunately it does not work. It seems to interpret anything within a
CDATA block as a string.
Here is what I tried, and it does not work.
mx:Label
mx:doubleClickEnabled![CDATA[{ true true
}]]/mx:doubleClickEnabled
/mx:Label
I also tried the following ... without luck:
mx:Label
mx:doubleClickEnabled{ ![CDATA[ true true ]]
}/mx:doubleClickEnabled
/mx:Label
So it seems the only way to get this to work is to use entities:
mx:doubleClickEnabled{ true amp;amp; true
}/mx:doubleClickEnabled

Re: [flexcoders] Relative paths in IDE compiler args
Thanks gents. Adding an extra ../ worked. I have my main source folder in a src directory off the project root, so this makes sense it worked. Adobe - this seems kind of strange behavior. Was it intentional? I would think the project root makes sense as the root for the compiler. In any case, a documentation section on relative paths would be very useful, unless its already there and I missed it.

[flexcoders] Switching View States - Destroying Resources

Re: [flexcoders] Using Remoting on Flex 2.0
Here is a link to another article describing how to connect Flex 2 to an AMF0 back-end implementation. I found it particularly helpful. You can ignore the back-end AMFPHP part of the article, and just use your OpenAMF backend, which I have used succesfully as well. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex2_amfphp_03.html Also, I highly recommend getting yourself a robust Flash remoting debugging tool. This will allow you to easily see what Remoting calls (and all other HTTP traffic) that are going over the wires. http://www.xk72.com/charles/ Cheers, -Daniel p.s. to clarify, FDS does provide Flash Remoting capabilities as well. I prefer it to OpenAMF as its better documented and more cleanly implemented. The issue with it is that it is not free if you are creating a multi-CPU application. hank williams wrote: I found the link to renaun's website with the remoteObjectAMF0 tool: http://renaun.com/blog/?p=31 http://renaun.com/blog/?p=31 Hope this helps, Regards Hank On 10/6/06, Varun Shetty [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:varun.shetty%40mphasis.com wrote: Thank you Hank, The link provided by greg was too confusing and didn't see it solving my concern.

The issue is a simple question of AMF0 remoting in flex. I gave up on using AMF0 and am currently using FDSExpress and AMF3 to do remoting. But there are some tools and articles about how to do this. There is, I believe, an article on this somewhere on the adobe website. There was also some code written by renaun (I hope I have that spelling right) that will, as I understand it, help you to do this, though, I have not yet gotten it working. That doesnt mean it doesnt work, but just that I have not focused on that part of my app recently.

[flexcoders] Lists - Using a CheckBox editor that is always visible
Hey, I am using a List component with an inline CheckBox item editor. All is good, except I would like the CheckBox editor to always be visible, not just when a user clicks into the cell. I couldn't see any way to make the editor always visible. Alternatively, I tried using an inline renderer, and connecting the CheckBox.change event to a handler in my containing component. Unfortunately, since the CheckBox is defined in an mx:Component / block, this isn't the containing component, but some strange generated Flex class. I did get it to work, sort of, by creating an external renderer component that extends CheckBox and has hardcoded bindings to a particular field. This is not what I was hoping for, but it does work. In general, there doesn't seem to be any way to pass values to the renderer/editor components outside of the list API. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Embedding Arial Unicode
Here is how I got it to work:
@font-face {
src: local(Arial Unicode MS);
unicode-range: Basic Latin;
fontFamily: ArialUnicodeEN;
fontWeight: Bold;
}
@font-face {
src: local(Arial Unicode MS);
unicode-range: Japanese (All);
fontFamily: ArialUnicodeJP;
}
You will need to read up on how to define unicode ranges in your
flex-config.xml file, and pass that in as a compiler argument. There is
another outlying bug with specifying the unicode-range directly in CSS
that doesn't allow you to copy-and-paste the ranges from the
flash-unicode-config.xml. (I did file that one.)
Note - I just checked and I never received confirmation on embedding
Arial Unicode MS via the src: syntax. Let me know if you file it.
Thanks,

Here is a scenario with a TileList whose direction is vertical: - TileList is drawn with 8 items in a space where it can fit 4 items in a column, so it draws 2 columns, 4 rows. - TileList is resizes so that it now can fit only 3 items in a column, so it draws 3 columns with 3 rows. Wrapping seems to work with Tile, but not with TileList which seems to require a fixed column and row size. I also can't seem to get a TileList to scroll. Is that possible?

Re: [flexcoders] Loading AVM1 content into AVM2
That most definitely sounds like a bug ... I think the following would work: - Create a class LocalConnectionDaemon in AVM2 that is connected under a hardcoded LC name. ( e.g. LC_DAEMON ); - Create a class LocalConnectionDaemon in AVM1 that does the following: - Generates a unique LocalConnection URL based on the current-time-millis ( e.g. var clientId:String = LC_CLIENT_1324343243243 ) - Send a command to LocalConnectionDaemon via - LC_SERVER .. createClient( clientId ) - Listen for a command (on that same LocalConnection, or one the server can figure out) called onClientCreated( otherClientId:String ) - LocalConnectionDaemon should have a method createClient( clientId:String ) that takes the ID, and transforms it to a guaranteed unique name (e.g. var newClientId:String = clientId + _AVM2) and sends onClientCreated( newClientId ); Definitely more painful, but doable.

Re: [flexcoders] modularizing code
I would recommend making a Flex library project.

listener.

if ( value == null )

Re: [flexcoders] Finding the root clip + getting the URL
Thanks John,
That definitely works, although I was curious how to do this using
non-Flex API calls. I figured out that part of my problem is that at
creationComplete(), the Application is not added to the display-list,
and thus you can't find out the root or stage. So, I changed the
example to applicationComplete, and at that point the stage, root, and
loaderInfo objects are defined and you can access them.
My next question - how do you find the base URL in a data class with no
reference to a DisplayObject? It seems like you need to get access to
the global display list, but I am unsure how to do that.
Working code to access the url and stage.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

}

var content:DisplayObject = ldr.content;
var c:Class = content[myFont];

some improvements to this method.

Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime
Right, to clarify the title of the thread should have been Dynamically
loading embedded fonts at runtime ...
This feature is critical if you want to use embedded fonts for a
localized application. Determine the locale, and load a SWF containing a
font, or possibly a unicode subset of the font (e.g. for Arial Unicode
MS).
Based on Daniel Friemen's successful experiments, it seems like this
will be possible, but hopefully future versions of Flex will support
this more elegantly.
Best,
-Daniel

Yes, this is possible:
[Embed(source=Arial.ttf, fontName=myArial,
unicodeRange=U+0041-U+005A )]
public var myClass:Class;

Betreff: Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime
Awesome! I'll definitely have to check this out.
On a related note, I wonder if its possible to embed
fonts with a
specific unicode range via this syntax. It doesn't
appear to be.
[Embed(systemFont='Symbol', fontName='mySymbol',
mimeType='application/x-font')]
var myFont:Class;
I know you can use @font-face, which appears to
automatically generate a
variable in the class, but its not a consistently named
variable. I am
sure a utility function in the class could be used to
ferret out that
variable name.

I altered the code a little and got it half working.
It works if
you're setting the imported font using setStyle, but
not if you're
setting the font through the TextFormat object.
Simply add the lines:
var content:DisplayObject = ldr.content;
var c:Class = content[myFont];
Font.registerFont(c);
to the begining of onloadercomplete.
I'm going to continue working on how to get the font
to show up
through TextFormat.

Re: [flexcoders] Any tips for using Linked Resource Folders in FB2? Seems half-way done
Well, you could create a Flex Library project, and create a SWC for all of your code that other projects rely on. This isn't quite as convenient, and there appears to be some inconsistencies on how often the SWC recompiles, but it would would. Regards, -D ncr100 wrote: I wonder if I'm alone in the experience of Flex Builder and Eclipse (v2.0.143459 plugin, Eclipse 3.2) trying to beat me senseless as I setup and build multiple SWF applications which share a single core actionscript framework folder? O wise and nimble Flex Masters and Mistresses, please share a comment or perhaps a humbling gibe about the few beans I'm spilling. So for this multi-swf AS3 product the Main SWFs dynamically load other SWFs to save on user launch times. I first find Eclipse constraining (read: head-lock) me with an imposed file layout proscribed by the eclipse.org flexible-projects workspace management strategy discussed here: http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/flexible-projects-proposal.html http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/flexible-projects-proposal.html .../framework/src/my/common/packages/... .../module1/Module1.as .../module2/Module2.as .../module3/Module3.as .../module4/Module4.as ... Does anyone else do this other than me? Eclipse, and FB2 to an extent, then block me (read as: multiple suflex body slams) when I try to stuff my modules inside or above my framework dir. So I relocate all the modules far far away from my framework and setup a Linked Resources path variable (Prefs - General - Workspace) pointing to the framework for each of my many many modules. Guess what happens next. At this point my compile is broken (all happiness is crushed). After I unbreak it via hand edits to .project and/or .actionScriptProperties, step-debugging is broken for stepping into the framework code, which I unbreak via guesswork and fiddling with IDE settings. To me I feel this Linked Resources project management feature is not yet fully supported in the latest version of Flex Builder and could be with a dot release (2.1?) of Flex Builder. Adobe experimentation with/evaluation of large-project Linked Resource behaviors could uncover eclipse's plugin features acting inconsistently, malfunctioning, and brutishly slamming innocent projects with folding metal chairs I believe. Am I alone when I use FB with hope of outputting multiple SWF's using a common code base? Does any other developer here have a story to share about writing apps with 1 SWF modules that share code with each other?

Re: [flexcoders] Problems with Unicode characters in ResourceBundle properties files
Thanks Paul, I figured that much out, but I did hit a strange bug: I was using the Eclipse Java property file editor, and mid-way realized it needed to be UTF-8. Somehow, Eclipse then put two UTF-8 BOM markers at the top of the file. Creating a new file, marking it as UTF-8 before pasting the Japanese chars seemed to fix the issue. Interestingly, I hit a similar bug with FDT 1.04 and Flex Builder. When the Flex Builder 2 plugin is enabled, and you are editing Actionscript files in the FDT editor, it will put two UTF-8 BOM's in there. Disabling Flex Builder makes this problem go away. It almost makes me wonder if Flex Builder is intercepting saves in other editors Paul Hastings wrote: Lord Soth wrote: The following gives the above error selectroom_label = #37096;#23627;#12434;#36984;#12403;#12394;#12373;#12356; i think rb in flex need to be utf-8 encoded. try notepad save as utf-8. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

I have this question too but it hasn't reached the top of my to-do
list yet. What I'm hoping is that is that you can embed a font in a
swf and then load that swf at runtime using a swfloader.
