[flexcoders] Re: Can't get value after labelfunction

[Darin Kohles]

instead of adding the calculation to the value object, which is scoped
locally, try adding it to the data object:

super.data.net_lbs = total;

[flexcoders] Re: How to control depth

[Darin Kohles]

You control "depth" by the order in which the display object appears
in the display "tree".

To adjust to order, you need to remove and re-insert the child object
using something like this:

this.addChildAt(this.removeChildAt(1),0);

The remove statement pops the item out of the display list, returning
a reference to it, then the add places it back in. If I'm mistaken
about the ordering then it might be:

this.addChild(this.removeChildAt(0));

This takes the first child and puts it at the end.

Good luck

When in doubt dump your data to make sure you are getting what you

[flexcoders] Re: Problems with TextInput

[Darin Kohles]

I've most often encountered this type of error when I am setting state
based properties in mxml. It generally means that I've coded
target="someThing" instead of target="{someThing}". The target wants
an object with "{}" not a string with "". I suggest you look at your
code to see if you haven't done somthing similar.

[flexcoders] Re: What happened to getTreeNodeAt??

[Darin Kohles]

I encountered the same problem and wrote my own version. 

public var categoryNodes:XML = new XML(); // xml data of the tree set
elsewhere
public var arrayFromNodes:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public var nodeCount:Number = 0;

/**
* returns an xml node based on a tree index 
*/
public function getNodeAt(index:Number):XML{
  arrayFromNodes = new ArrayCollection();
  nodeCount=0;
  arrayFromNodes.addItem(categoryNodes[nodeCount]);
  getNodeList(XMLList(categoryNodes));
  return XML(arrayFromNodes.getItemAt(index));
}

/**
* returns a flattend node listing from an xml tree
*/
private function getNodeList(currentList:XMLList):void{
  for each(var childIndex:XML in XMLList(currentList.children())){
nodeCount++
arrayFromNodes.addItem(childIndex);  
if(XMLList(childIndex).children().length()){
  getNodeList(XMLList(childIndex))
}
  }
}

As to the expandChildrenOf() function it works for me by passing in
the root node for the tree dataProvider.

[flexcoders] Re: Passing Embedded object into Grid Component.

[Darin Kohles]

As a simple approach to this I'd create an inline renderer for this
column as:


  

  

  


In this case the 'data' object is replicated for each row of your
collection. You can then drill down in the usual fashion to retrieve
embeded objects and their contained values. The same could be done in
an external item renderer written in mxml or actionscript.

In ActionScript there is a property available that is not available in

In some of the betas this was also available in MXML.

[flexcoders] Re: changing state of all itemrenderer instances?

[Darin Kohles]

Look into using the dataChange event in your renderer class. Basically
this event fires whenever the dataProvider is changed on your list:
this should include reapplying the same dataprovider that was
previously assigned.

I'd apply a change event function on your check box that basically
re-assigns the dataprovider for the list. Then in the itemRenderer
white a function that check the state of this check box and includes
excludes content based on its value. Here's an example.

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
dataChange="updateChecks()" >








You could do the same thing to hide/show an mxml based image or use
actionscript to dynamically and condtionally add one

[flexcoders] Looking for simplest way to transform a MenuBar event: mouseOver=>click

[Darin Kohles]

I'm trying to capture a mouseOver event and propogate it as if it were
a click event to control menu opening without forcing the user to
actually click.

Perusing the MenuBar.as and Menu.as class files, I've seen candidate
functions, but they are either set as private or I get a 1061 or 1195
error: "Attempted access of inaccessible method showMenu through a
reference with static type mx.controls:MenuBar." 

I'm wondering if there is a workaround that is simpler that creating a
custom class that extends MenuBar. The alternative is to write a
menuing class from scratch as I've done previously in Flash.

Any thougts?

event on the child, that would test its parents state, to determine
which of several states it should choose from. My first approach had
been to try the ChildExistenceChangedEvent.CHILD_ADD on the parent to
monitor for the creation of it's children, but to no avail.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

[flexcoders] f2b3: Using states in itemRenderer

[Darin Kohles]

Trying to cascade states in mxml based item renderer.

I've got a viewer that has states, and I'd like to be able to cascade
a state transition through a HorizontalList component that uses an
mxml based itemRenderer on its data provider. The renderer creates
thumbnails that I want to change state when the viewers state changes.
I'm sure there is an array of the thumbs that I could loop through,
but I'm not finding it.

Thanks

[flexcoders] f2b3: Remote Object madness

[Darin Kohles]

So I finally broke down and am trying to play with the CF/Flex
connectivity, but I'm running into problems.

Here's the story so far:
- I have a local developer environment set up for CF
(C/:ColdFusionMx7) with a mapping to a remote datasource.
- I have IIS setup to run (C:Inetpub/wwwroot) with a mapping to a www
directory for my test site.
- I downloaded and stuffed the eclipse extensions for CF the plugin
and feature and site.xml additions into the respective paths under
c:Program Files/Adobe/etc... (one copy per location, although I see
that there are also plugin and feature folders in the
com.adobe.flexbuilder.update.site and I did not copy the jar files to
them)
- I also download and installed the cf_flexconnect_B3_win_0428.exe
which ran and said it installed fine.

Next steps:
- found the flex-enterprise-services.xml and set the
false for the webServices.
- got RDS to connect successfully
- successfully was able to use the wizard to create a CFC from an
existing table
- was able to get the window>otherview>Coldfusion Services>Show Web
services to interogate the above mentioned CFC by manually adding it
with the (+) plus button.
- created a new project with ColdFusion Flash Remoting Services
- set up a simple app that is supposed to interrogate my CFC which is
located in the components directory of my locally served test site


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">




source="components.storecategory" result="showUser(event)"
fault="showFault(event)" />



But when I run the application, I get the following fault statement:

(mx.rpc::Fault)#0
description = "Send failed"
detail = "Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed:
HTTP: Failed"
errorID = 0
faultcode = "Client.Error.MessageSend"
faultCode = "Client.Error.MessageSend"
faultDetail = "Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed:
HTTP: Failed"
faultstring = "Send failed"
faultString = "Send failed"
message = "faultCode:Client.Error.MessageSend faultString:'Send
failed' faultDetail:'Channel.Connect.Failed error
NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed'"
rootCause = (Object)#1
code = "NetConnection.Call.Failed"
description = "HTTP: Failed"
details = "http://localhost/flex2gateway/"
level = "error"

Reading through some of the wiki chatter, I've seen reference to a
flex-services.xml which I do not have. And setting the endpoint nugget
for the flex2gateway. I do have a flex-enterprise-services.xml (as
mentioned above).

So bottom line here is I'm missing something. If anyone could point me
in the right direction, or needs further clarification on my local
setup and installations, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Most text components have a Boolean called 'password' that you can set

[flexcoders] Re: Accessing and binding to (and from) Application level vars

[Darin Kohles]

I generally pass a reference to the parent or to the Application scope
in my constructor, depending on what scope I'm interested in having
access to within my custome component (in this cass class instances).
The code generally looks like this:

// where the instance is constructed could be a sub class could be at
application level
var myInst = new myClass(this);

// the class definition
public class myClass{
  private var owner:Object;
  public function myClass(obj:Object){
owner = obj;
  }
}

You can daisy chain this reference to instances used within this
class. You can also easily extend any class to incorporate this
method. The above code gives me access to all peer instances, and data
value that 'live' at the 'owner' level.

Good Luck

[flexcoders] Re: Release date for Beta 3?

[Darin Kohles]

My best guess is mid-May, but there is a slight possiblity it could be
in the next two weeks. My reasoning is as follows: 1.) Beta 2 expires
June 1, and they've usually released several weeks before expiration
2.)The recently announced contest rules state that all entries (due
date is May 1) must be in either Beta 2 or Beta 3 format.

[flexcoders] Re: SWF Object/Embed tags (Flex/Flex 2/Flash 7+)

[Darin Kohles]

Thanks Matt for your reply. I generally do copy and paste from the
HTML generated by either Flash (8) or FB (2b). As I mentioned, my
colleague had read an article about dropping the Embed tag, so I
thought I'd ask for the "Official" word on the subject.

Keep on keeping on.

[flexcoders] SWF Object/Embed tags (Flex/Flex 2/Flash 7+)

[Darin Kohles]

I recently had a colleague recommend not using the Embed tag for
loading SWF files into html. I personally use swifs generated from
multiple applications and I've currently got FP 8.5 on my main browser
apps (IE/Moz-FF). I'm wondering if there is a definitive statement
from someone who develops the applications in question
(Cartman:'respect my authoritay') who can definately say what
attributes/params are "actually" required and what are purely
optional. Unfortunately for me, I have to check platform/browser
compliance for everything I produce (IE 5 - mac!!!) so I'd like to not
have conflicts.

My most recent usage is the following:



http://idp05gwas.d-p.com";>





Changing/adding stuff gives me inconsistent behaviors. For example
codebase and classid attributes of the object tag cause failures in
Firefox and IE respectively. Maybe this is a DOCTYPE issue, but I
really could use a difinitive answer from a TIC (Those/Them In Charge).

Thanks for you time.

[flexcoders] Re: listOwner equivalent Flex 2

[Darin Kohles]

If you write your renderer in AS instead of MXML, you can pass a
reference to the parent when you call the constructor for the class e.g.

in calling class (Application)

myRenderer:myRendererClass = new myRendererClass(this);
someObject.cellRenderer = myRenderer.doRender;

in custom Renderer (constructor)

private var owner:Object;
public class myRendererClass{
  public function myRendererClass(obj:Object){
  owner = obj;
  }
  public function doRender(dataObject:Object):object{
  }
}

That's they way I do it. Good Luck

Flex 2 docs on this a very thin. Has anyone tackled this? Is it

Or has the model change drastically for AS3?

Let's sum up shall we? If anyone's keeping track, and are willing to

The yahoo format is not the best, but I've been trying to follow some

things getting lost in the shuffle when time is limited.

Thanks for being involved enough to keep on a'readin'.

[flexcoders] Re: (new issue) Using Embed with dynamic values possible?

[Darin Kohles]

I've got dynamically loaded images (as images - not icons) that I then
'simulate' as links by having event listeners take action on mouse
down and up events - which then call getURL() to send someone elsewhere.

This should be public soon enough, and I may get in trouble for
sharing it ;) but check out:

http://d-p.com/ria/amazon/

There are still a few quirks that I'm working out, so this isn't the
final version.

I don't use repeaters, but generate everything with AS as I recieve
data from the provider - looping through and addChild()'ing as I go
(just remember to clear your field before adding more).

Hope this helps - give it a play.

[flexcoders] Re: Selection.setSelection Issue

[Darin Kohles]

Try passing the explicit values to your function:

setFBack(mytext.Selection.getBeginIndex(), mytext,Selection.getEndIndex())

function setFBack(begin:Number, end:Number){
}

OR (Flex 2??):
 public var begin:Number;
 etc..

Maybe one of these will help.

Good Luck

[flexcoders] Re: Accordion icons

[Darin Kohles]

I've just been dealing with this in Flash 8 (AS 2).

 myAcc.setStyle('headerHeight',20);

I also had problems with header text - do a:

var headerObj:Object = myAcc.getChildAt(x);
for (var i:Object in headerObj){
  trace(i + " " myAcc[i])
}

Look at the defined values (and undefined) and use setStyle('blah',
value) to fill in what's missing. This is how I got it to work in AS
2. Also .labelPlacement='top' gave me the default centering for the
header label. Trying to do everything dynamically means you've got to
dot your i's and cross your t's :(

Good Luck

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid CellRenderer doesn't fill entire cell

[Darin Kohles]

You might try playing with some style properties like:

setStyle("borderThinkness",0)
setStyle("focusThinkness",0)
setStyle("marginLeft",0)
setStyle("marginRight",0)

Maybe one of these will do the trick.

[flexcoders] Re: flex 2 translation

[Darin Kohles]

The call back/listener function passes the event as a default
parameter (giving you access to its properties, like x, and y of click
etc.), if you want extend your function to pass additional arguments,
you are free to do so.

I'm not entirely certain of the necessary syntax in the listener
statement, since I usually inline my listener functions and rely on
scoped variables for passing data back and forth instead of passing
arguments.  This doesn't necessarily make for the most portable code,
but as of yet it's not been much of an issue.

[flexcoders] Re: flex 2 translation

[Darin Kohles]

I little bit more to clarify:

You should have a variable defined and set in your application that
stores the text you'd like to pass/use when the event is triggered:

public var val1:String="Hello"; // defined and set for use elsewhere

To be complete you need to define the someFunction (this was just an
example) elsewhere in you application:

public function someFunction():Void{ // do stuff pehaps with val1 etc.}

As to the mouse event vs mouse event type, check here:

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex/langref/flash/events/MouseEvent.html

[flexcoders] Re: Using Embed with dynamic values possible?

[Darin Kohles]

Stacy, yes and no. Just create a new image dynamically when your XML
data is returned (no need to use Embed in this case):

private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):Void {
myImage: new Image();
myImage.source=event.result._xml_path_to_image_url;

someContainerObjectLikeCanvas.addChild(myImage);
}

Hope this helps

[flexcoders] Re: flex 2 translation

[Darin Kohles]

A couple fo issues here:

function startUp():Void
{
/* event listener needs target (this) event to listen for
(MouseTypeEvent.CLICK) and what to do about it (myClickFunction - stay
away from using key words like 'click' for custom functions */
this.addEventListener(MouseEventType.CLICK, myClickFunction);

/* same goes here, notice change in syntax target.|event|function */
this.parent.addEventListener("myEvent", someFunction);

dispatchEvent(new Event("myEvent));
}

myClickFunction(event:Event):Void {// some stuff here}

If you want to send information using an an event you'll need to find
a different mechanism e.g. a global variable, or another interface
function that is step up to pass data. The event listener is more to
say 'when' something happens, not 'what' is to happen.

Good Luck

[flexcoders] Re: Pure AS3 button application (Flex 2)

[Darin Kohles]

Try /* */  and // on the auto-generated code. When you hit something
that is "required" you'll know it.

Unfortunatly, I end up doing this when I add too much at once,
thinking that everything is supported.


Good Luck

[flexcoders] Re: passing Map in remote object

[Darin Kohles]

Encounter this often in DOM JS coding. I would just add to Matt's code:

for (var key:String in obj){
   trace("var: "+var+" | Obj[var]: "+String(obj[var]));
   Alert.show("var: "+var+" | Obj[var]: "+String(obj[var]));
}

Do somthing like that and you'll be able to know which object/property
you want to assign, then get rid of the loop and assign accordingly.

Take luck

[flexcoders] Re: Why does this effect not work?

[Darin Kohles]

Transed lots'a (of) code from many plats (platforms) ((and it sucks)).
 What you(I) assume in one, aint gonna work in t'other.  But sometimes
what does 'work' is better to work around than re-write ('smother
times it be aint). 'nuff said. ( if'n,... - If you can understand the
preceading, well mo powa to ya)

DP - it's where I'm going to start working on your Moe's code, and
hopefully get everyone up to speed.

[flexcoders] Re: Why does this effect not work?

[Darin Kohles]

Ralf,

Wie Gehts? (no I really don't remeber my german 5 years ~ 20 years ago)

Be careful of your use of 'this' as the target of your effect (Jesse
stop by DP some time, ask for Ben, and maybe we can meet - Flash issues).

I've had similar code that I've changed the effect type one several
times until I was satisfied with the effect. My take is - be explicit
on what your target is. Give your target an id, and use that as your
target. In this case I think that 'this' refers to ?? the newly
created instance of a Fade object that as yet is not tied to anything.

A sample:

var fadeIn:Fade = new Fade(lgImage);
fadeIn.alphaTo = 1;
fadeIn.playEffect();
fadeIn.addEventListener(EffectEvent.EFFECT_END,
function():Void{
detailText.visible=false;
});

The same can be appied in reverse (use a Bool in an if/else structure
that changes on each effect (alpha change). You'll notice that the
target is an id'ed component, not a 'this'. The event listener is just
a clean-up call (for a Wipe effect, that I've found to be buggy).

This code works for event.target as well - stay away from 'this'
unless you know what 'this' is.

On a side note, I've ntice that you tend to use a lot of _somethings
and __somethings in your code (as do others) - some of these are
prototype based and I would not count on having access to them in the
future.  The closer you can fit your code within the top level
structure, the better luck you'll have porting apps in the future.

Just some thoughts

[flexcoders] Re: Comparing complex objects

[Darin Kohles]

If you're familiar with the concept of a "deep copy", then you can
apply the same to a compare function (of course you'll have to write
it yourself ;). Anytime you are dealing with a complex and/or custom
type it's a good idea to plan on comparison and choose what is, in
fact, 'equal'.

This can be usefull if you decide that sometimes 'equal' is equal
enough, and other time equal has-to-mean equal.

Pick what you think you need to include, and do an item by item
comparison (in the 'normal' sense) with a Bool that tracks the overall
result.


Good Luck

[flexcoders] Re: How to put Button or Linkbar in DataGrid

[Darin Kohles]

In the dataGridColumn set cellRenerer="myRenderer", then create a new
component based on a container like VBox and name it myRenderer.mxml.
 Inside this new file add code like:


http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml"; xmlns="*">



Here the dataObject represents the bound dataProvider, and .go is a
column with (in this case) URL information.

[flexcoders] Re: (Flex 2.0) Slider.labels bug?

[Darin Kohles]

Thanks for the responses Matt and Sreenivas.

For those interested my, work-around for this was to simply remove the
exiting slider, and add a replacement at the same place in the child
stack (within an VBox). myBox.removeChildAt() and myBox.addChildAt().

One other thing tho - I tried setting this up with a
myBox.getChildIndex(myBox.getChildByName()) with no success (also a
bug in getChildByName? - assuming name implies id value) instead I
simply wrapped the sliders in an VBox to restrict their child order
placement to known values.

I also noticed a similar issue using state change overrides for things
like simple Link items (changing click functionality). Until the next
release I've been doing 'state' changes purely programmatically, and
when in doubt doing a remove/add child to update my components.

Keep on codin'

[flexcoders] (Flex 2.0) Slider.labels bug?

[Darin Kohles]

On dynamic mySilder.labels re-assignment, the .labels array always
retains the first label (and appears to pre-append its value to the
assigned array).

Setting the labels array dynamically after the initial display appears
to retain the low value.

mySlider.labels=[0,100]; //displays OK
... more code
mySlider.labels=[50,100]; // looks like I set mySlider.labels=[0,50,100]

The first set low value label remains. I've tried setting the .labels
array to null and an arbitrary value array but the .labels[0] (as
displayed) does not want to change. The slider behaves correctly, but
the labels don't.

Just bugn me.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Validator on CheckBox

[Darin Kohles]

In addition to what Matt has said: it depends on when you're firing
your validator.

in MXML do validation on user event:

-or-


If you're doing it programmatically in AS, you can add an event
listener for mouse events for this target.
myCheckBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent:MOUSE_UP,myValidation);

Either way should give you real-time error checking.

Good Luck

[flexcoders] Re: datagrid column sorting

[Darin Kohles]

Not entirely sure about why it in the middle of your order. But I've
handled this in Flash by doing the following:

For display, set up a custom cellRenderer (listItemRenderer) that
checks for undefined values and gives them a default display value:
e.g. NA (Not Available) etc.

For sort, provide a custom sort function (this is where you can do a
toUpper or toLower conversion for case insensitive sorting).  When you
encounter a null value (blank) assign a value in the sort function
that is higher/lower to put it where you want it. An example is:

function dateSort1(a:Object, b:Object, index:Number){
a=a.datemodified.getTime();
b=b.datemodified.getTime();
if(a == null) a=0;
if(b == null) b=0;
if(asc1){
trace("ascend");
if(a > b){
return 1;
}else if (a < b){
return -1;
}else{
return 0;
}
}else{
trace("descend");
if(a > b){
return -1;
}else if (a < b){
return 1;
}else{
return 0;
}
}
}

This was for date object in Flash (asc1 is boolean that keeps track of
which direction your sort was last time), but I think it will apply
with editing. You also then need to point to this function by setting your

  myGrid.dataGridColumns sortOnHeaderRelease=false;
  myGrid.sortCompareFunction=dateSort1();

Then make a listener: 

  myGrid.addEventListener("headerRelease", headerListener);

and supply the function that distinguishes the selectedIndex of the
column of interest:

var headerListener = new Object();
headerListener.headerRelease = function(eventObj){
if(eventObj.columnIndex==4){
Grid.dataProvider.sortItems(dateSort1);

The last two steps can be combined, and you'll have to alter the event
types as necessary to comply with Flex data types (look at the
addEventListener docs), but this should give you a leg up. I know it's
a pain, but then what isn't? (someone probaly can do this in 5 lines).

Good Luck - hope this helps.

[flexcoders] Re: Effect Event mayham (Flex 2.0)

[Darin Kohles]

Thanks, I'll give that a try.  The multiple effect events were playing
havoc with the boolean logic I've been trying to use to cascade
additional effects.

I'll let you know my results.

Thought this might have gotten buried by the holidays, anyone have any
