[flexcoders] Is Microphone.getMicrophone() broken in AS3 / FP9?

[Dirk Eismann]

Anyone here with experience when using Microphone.getMicrophone() in
Flex / AS3 when multiple Microphones are attached to the system?

In contrast to Camera.getCamera() (which always gives a reference to the
currently selected Camera as specified by th euser in the FP Settings
Panel) Microphone.getMicrophone() does *not* return the active
Microphone but always the first one. So although the user selected e.g.
Microphone #3 in the Settings Panel you never get notified and always
end up with the reference to the first Microphone.

A whacky workaround is to loop over all Microphones and query their
activityLevel and then select the Microphone which has a level > -1 but
this does not always work.

Is this a know issue?

RE: [flexcoders] How to assign chart series itemRenderer in AS3?

Btw, why there is this inconsistency that in the Charts API itemRenderer
is a Style whereas in the rest of the Flex 2 framework it is a property?

RE: [flexcoders] bindSetter on an ArrayCollection

[Dirk Eismann]

if you have a reference to the ArrayCollection you can do

  collection.addEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE,
collectionChange);

collectionChange will then get notified for different kinds of updates
happening on the collection instance (see mx.events.CollectionEventKind
for the available kinds)

Problem:
I would like to display chart datatip from a set of
datapoint
without doing a mouse over.

It seems that I have to overwrite the findDataPoints
method
from ChartBase and returns an array of HitData points.

I can not figure out how to create a HitData object
from a specific datapoint regardless of the position of
the mouse.

Maybe a new method such as showDataTip on chartBase
taking as parameter
an array of indexes defining the datapoint from the
dataprovider 
object could be helpfull.

Thx for any hints.

Not quite straightforward, but it still works:

  // chart is the chart you want to display the datatip on
  // xValue and yValue are the item's values on the x and y axis

  var p:Point = chart.dataToLocal(xValue, yValue);
  var m:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, true, false,
p.x, p.y);
  chart.dispatchEvent(m);

RE: [flexcoders] Inline MXML event handlers - weak reference?

They are not weak, because they don't have to be.  When you say:
 

 
The MXML compiler wraps doSomething in a function like this in
the application:
 
public function __Button__click(event:Event):void
{
doSomething();
}
 
and the Flex framework code calls
 
button.addEventListener("click", __Button__click);
 
This puts a reference to the application's __Button__click
method in the button's event handler table.  There are no additional
pointers to the button from the application so it does not prevent
collection should you remove the button. 
 
I have a presentation on garbage collection and memory on my
blog

Does anyone know if the event handlers you inject into MXML

are weak references? There is no way to remove the event
handler, so I 
don't see how they couldn't be... but I am struggling with lots

Most (if not all) of the UI controls you mention implement the

If that's the total set, I'd just write the if statement.  If
you want extensibility, then I'd subclass each one and add a property
that tells you which property to pull and what its type is.  You could
even do that as an interface so other components can be added later.

ok - then you should be fine. Aside from some advanced features like

everything should work nicely using FDS and CF.

Hi,

yeah he timer class does it but;

function example {
trace("before");
sleep(2000);
trace("after 2 seconds");
}

Will not work. The Flash player exectues in order of the stack.
So, you can't have a sleep method inside a method block and halt the
method block.

Although something like this might be what you looking for. 

function example {
trace("before");
sleep(2000, exectueAfter, "something", 1);
}

function sleep(milli:Number, func:Function, ...rest):void
{
callMethod = func
callArgs = rest
... set up timer and handlers, run timer
}

function timer_timerEndHandler(event:TimerEvent):void
{
   callMethod(callArgs)
}

function exectueAfter(arg1, arg2)
{
trace("after 2 seconds");
}

This is about as close as you will get to a 'sleep' method.

Peace, Mike

RE: [flexcoders] Coldfusion Version for FDS Data Push feature

[Dirk Eismann]

This depends on what you mean by "data push": do you want to use the
automatic data synchronization feature that comes with the FDS Data
Managemnt services or do you want to send generic messages throug the
FDS Messaging services?

If you want to use Data Management you don't need CF Enterprise (it
works over RMI), if you want to do Messaging you'll need Event Gateways
on the CF side and therefore CF Enterprise.

[flexcoders] FDS: Using DSDstClientId to send AsyncMessages to specific client

[Dirk Eismann]

I try to send an AsyncMessage from a server side class to a specific
client. What I came up with so far is to use the routeMessageToService()
method of the MessageBroker class and set the
DESTINATION_CLIENT_ID_HEADER header of the AsyncMessage to the clientId
of the connected Consumer. 

This seems to work nicely: when two clients are connected and the
AsyncMessage gets send to only one client the client side MessageEvent
is firing on the correct client. However, looking at the debug log files
of FDS it seems as if FDS is still broadcasting to all clients and not
to this one single client.

Client A uses clientId BA4BF98AFABE9C4F371BD848028E5272
Client B uses clientId 74393AD2A49264914F8E67267BE0F38F

Although I set the DSDstClientId in the AsyncMessage's header to
BA4BF98AFABE9C4F371BD848028E5272 the log file looks like this:

[Flex] 02/08/2007 09:07:06.237 [DEBUG] [Message.General] Sending message

messageId = 9794A55D-AD1B-3259-24AB-F846177AF243

Seems as if the DSDstClientId is only evaluated on the client side so
this still is just a broadcast, right?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Setting UIComponent.errorString creates a black border around the component

[Dirk Eismann]

It still does not work as expected. I just debugged UIComponent and it
turns out that the bug is in the setBorderColorForErrorString() method.
The black border appeasr when the origBorderColor is NaN. So the fix
would be something like

  if (isNaN(origBorderColor))
origBorderColor = getStyle("borderColor");

I just wanted to fix the code on my machine and then recompile the
framework.swc but noticed that there's no build_framework.xml Ant script
any more in Flex 2.0.1

Hi,

 

There is a caching problem of the borderColor in the UIComponent

myClass.validateProperties();

myClass.errorString = "";

 

If you call validateProperties before clearing the errorString

All messages are externalized to .properties files and can be easily

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm support for Flex 2.0.1 modules?

[Dirk Eismann]

I think the two actions Derrick mentions - to use BindingUtils to remove {} 
bindings and to use weak reference listeners where possible - are the two key 
techniques to limit memory / GC issues. 

This is not only something to watch out for when loading/unloading Modules but 
also when components get dynamically added/removed inside a Flex application. 

Dirk.

Betreff: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm support for Flex 2.0.1 modules?
 
My team is currently in the process of developing a large modular Flex
application that is based on Cairngorm and uses the mx:Modules.

We put the Cairngorm framework and all 'core' classes (ie Controller,
ModelLocator, ValueObject, centralized Commands) into a Flex Library.
Each module was setup as a separate Flex project along with a shell
project that was responsible for loading the modules and creating the
basic shell application. Each of the modules accessed the 'core'
classes as an RSL during development and then the option was set to
'external' for deployment to reduce file size and duplication. The
shell used the 'include' compiler option to compile the entire 'core'
library into the shell so that all classes where available for the
modules. Each module ran a method upon loading that would register any
module specific Commands with the FrontController and register for any
events, etc.

The one thing that was quite tricky was uncoupling binding from the
ModelLocator during module unloads. Using the {} method in the
property attribute of a control (ie ) does not allow you to uncouple
the binding at a later time, which prevents garbage collection.
Instead we had to use the BindingUtils and then call a method just
before unloading a module to remove the bindings, then the module
could be properly unloaded and garbage collected. Also we had to make
sure we used weak reference event listeners in order to ensure garbage
collection would properly occur on the unloaded modules.

Hope that information helps you out.

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm support for Flex 2.0.1 modules?

Another use case would be to replace certain parts of the Cairngorm 
infrastructure (ServiceLocator instance, specific Delegate) depending on e.g. a 
dynamically loaded configuration file. This way e.g. Delegates could easily be 
replaced by just pointing to another Module.

Hi Tom,

Before any additions are made to the Cairngorm framework, we always
ensure that they have been used in "real-life" projects first. I'm doing
some investigation into Cairngorm/Modules and will post results when I
get them, but don't expect any immediate changes to Cairngorm around
this. What will likely happen first is blog posts/DevNet articles
suggesting how we see things working, and then additions to the
framework once those ideas have been proven.

I'd be interested in hearing the thoughts and experiences on others on
this too.

Best,

Alistair

Hello all,

I'm evaluating the new module interface in the Flex 2.0.1 update and
have some questions in regards to Cairngorm-architected apps.

Does anyone have recommendations on how you would "slice up" a
Cairngorm-based Flex app into modules?

For example, the ModelLocator- and FrontController-derived classes would
need to allow values and commands to be dynamically added and removed as
modules are loaded and unloaded.  How should this be implemented so that
data binding to the model works as expected?

Is there any work being done on the framework to facilitate these types
of things?

Thanks for any thoughts,

Tom

RE: [flexcoders] flex2ant

[Dirk Eismann]

You might want to use the eclipse.incrementalBuild Task that comes with
Eclipse. This allows to invoke the incremental Flex Builder compiler
from within Ant. This gives you the same compilation performance as
using "Build Automatically" plus adds all the nice stuff you can achieve
with Ant :-)
 
Check my blog post here:
http://www.richinternet.de/blog/index.cfm?entry=2B7613A8-C687-AF8E-B9855

You'll only need to make sure that Ant runs in the same JRE as the
workspace.

Actually I would like to use Ant in Eclipse running with Flex2
PlugIn to build my projects! For AS2 is always used AS2Ant with FDT and
MTASC and it was the best!

Unfortunately things look different for Flex Builder. Building
the project with an Ant task is slower than using Flex Builder and
'Build Automatically' is necessary for compile time error checking
(while MTASC did this automatically on-the-fly) but it would then also
always build when using the Ant task.

 

Does anyone know how to get this working:

Having an Ant build.xml that does some project preparing tasks
(i.e. increasing build number and store in an auto generated AppInfo
class) and then call the Flex builder build process from Ant. I'm not
Ant magican but is this possible?

Very nice work!

 

I thought about doing something like this before and ended up
taking a bit of a different approach. What I did was create a task that
can read the flex project files and from these use mxmlc and compc to
build the projects. What I figured is that if Flex Builder is creating
the project files for me and can compile off of these that I would mimic
the same thing! If people are interested in using this approach I will
look at hosting it somewhere. This is however an NAnt task so I suspect
there will be less people interested in this.

RE: [flexcoders] strategy for Composite component as itemRenderer in DataGrid or List

[Dirk Eismann]

I've used 1) and 2) before and both works fine for me.

1) is a bit tricky some times as you have to take care when to access
listData because it is not necessarily there during the whole lifecycle
of your item renderer.

2) is neat, especially when you use parameterized ItemRenderers on those
columns because then your itemRenderer does not need to be hardwired to
a formatter function in the parent document scope (or whereever you
place it)

i.e.



YourItemRenderer then just needs a public var formatFunction:Function
and you're all set. CustomClassFactory itself is a subclass of
mx.core.ClassFactory - for more info on this technique see Antatole's
blog entry http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/?p=91

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm 2.1 - calling a webservive more than once

[Dirk Eismann]

Any change you're calling loadWSDL() more than once on your WebService
instance? This could be the reason.

I switched back to v 2.0 and all works fine now. I don't really
have the time to debug this. I'm quite happy with version 2.0 and don't
really see a reason to "upgrade" 

Thanks for your reply anyway!

Add this to your Application mxml file.

If you can paste the soap going back and forth to the list it
would help to diagnose your problem.



You could also grab a program called ServiceCapture to grab the
soap messages.

Hi there,

 

This is driving me mad When I try to call a webservice more

The "result" method still gets triggered but the returned data

The same service works fine in a Cairngorm 2.0 app. Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Unused tags in found?

[Dirk Eismann]

I've created a simple Java class which implements
flex.messaging.FlexConfigurable. This works nicely and the initialize
methid gets invoked as expected.

However, if I place additional properties inside the remoting-config.xml
for this RemoteObject the instantiation fails and I end up with Flex
errors about "Unused tags in  found?". Is this not
supported?

eg. my destination looks like this


  

TestService
application


Hello!


  


and inside the initialize() method I want to query the ConfigMap passed
in for the /custom/test property.

RE: [flexcoders] Create package-level functions in AS3?

[Dirk Eismann]

Answering myself here:

yes - it does work, but there may be only one public visible function
definition inside the .as file and the .as file has to be the same as
the function name.

So given my example:

package foo
{
  public function bar():void
  {
  }
}

this file needs to be stored as bar.as in the /foo directory. It can
then be imported like this:

 import foo.bar;

My compiler was just a bit mixed up but now it works as expected.

Dirk.

[flexcoders] Create package-level functions in AS3?

[Dirk Eismann]

Is it possible to create custom package-level functions the same way
e.g. flash.utils.getDefinitionByName is implemented? 

The flash.utils package defines several functions that can be imported
directly - I'd like to implement some utility functions by using the
same approach but I end up getting compiler errors when I try to create
a package that contains only functions but no class body, i.e. this does
not work

package foo
{
  public function bar():void
  {
  } 
}

I haven't checked the language specs on those constructs but at least
the built-in functions work the same way.

I was wondering if there were other elements (canvas, hbox, panel, etc)

I see that there seems to be no support by default, is this simple to

[flexcoders] Remote Objects: No support for inner class serialization?

[Dirk Eismann]

Seems as if public inner classes are not recognized by the Java-to-AMF
serializer in FDS, is this correct?

i.e. if a class RecordSet uses an inner class RecordSetVO which is used
as a data type for the value objects that are transported via AMF then
this type info is not set correctly.

Not out of the box but you can quite easily build your own properties

RE: [flexcoders] ColdFusion and Flex Integration - up to 10x gain, avoid cf object creation

[Dirk Eismann]

Yes, I also noticed this.
 
I made a test where a cfloop is done on 2000 records and had three
setups:
 
1) cfloop / createObject on a CFC "Bean" / add this CFC instance to an
Array
2) cfloop / createObject on a JavaBean (same as Erik mentions) / add
this bean to an Array
3) cloop / delegate object creation to a Java class (instatiated
upfront)  / Java class returns JavaBean / add bean to Array
 
1) is slooow (like 5000ms)
2) is fast! (like 50ms)
3) is fastest (like 30ms)
 
the difference between 2) and 3) is not significant. But the difference
between 1) and 2) is!
 
I think the main problem is that CFC instances are not really comparable
to JavaBeans / Valueobjects at runtime because every single method
(getter/setter) of a CFC gets compiled into a single class. So a
Person.cfc with 20 properties implemented as getters/setters gets
compiled into at least 40 classes (one for every getter and one for
every setter) plus some more stub code.
 
I think this is the main reason why creating CFC ValueObjects / Beans is
so expensive inside loops.
 
IMHO it should not be regarded best practice to use CFCs as VOs - this
may work for simple tasks but is definitely not good for more compley
setups (e.g. using CFCs to get typed objects in the Flex frontend)
 
Dirk.

Hi,
 
try extending mx.skins.halo.HaloBorder and do the 
gradient drawing the updateDisplayList method. Then, assign this class as the 
border-skin for your component. This way you can use this gradient on any 
component that supports border styles.
 
border-skin: 
ClassReference("foo.bar.YourGradientClass");

RE: [flexcoders] Amazon S3 and http SOAP faults / REST problems.

[Dirk Eismann]

IMHO, this is an issue with how the hosting browser passes the HTTP
header payload to the Flash Player - you'll either need a proxy or some
other server side stuff (a servlet or ISAPI filter would also work I
think)

RE: [Junk E-Mail - MED] Re: [flexcoders] Re: A DataGrid with selectable *cells*

[Dirk Eismann]

Him Tom,

as long as your item renderer implements the IDropInListItemRenderer
interface you can get the columnIndex and rowIndex from the listData
property. If an item renderer lives inside a DataGrid, listData is of
type mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData - so everything should
be there already.

Dirk.

RE: [flexcoders] MXML ItemRenderer and dataTip

Hi,
 
dataTips don't work when you use a custom item renderer. Your best bet would be 
to set the toolTip property on your item renderer class.

[flexcoders] Question concerning flex.messaging.FlexFactory

[Dirk Eismann]

Short question: 

when implementing the FlexFactory interface in a custom factory class,
how does the lookup() work at runtime? Most importantly: how often does
it gets called by FDS? Only once (depending on the scope setting) or for
every method invocation on e.g. the RemoteObject instance? I guess only
once but I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Dirk.

RE: [flexcoders] ATTN: Adobe Re: Does FDS project have to compile on the server?

[Dirk Eismann]

I also 
encountered this in a project that uses RemoteObject. I always ended up getting 
error that /messagebroker/amf wasnot found. After looking at the runtime channel 
information I realized that the context root was not included in the endpoint 
URL (e.g. instead of http://foo.bar.com/flex/messagebroker/amf Flex 
tried to connect to http://foo.bar.com/messagebroker/amf)
 
I 
solved this by adding this by hand as a compiler flag, i.e.
 
  
-context-root=/flex
 
and 
then it worked fine.

before Flex 2/FDS was released RTMP was typically bound to port 1935
tcp/udp (check this port number in the URL you posted, it's called
macromedia-fcs there but actually it is RTMP). So - if you want to
conform to the IANA list then you should use 1935 IMHO.

Dirk.

RE: [flexcoders] FlexBuilder Flintstone

[Dirk Eismann]

Hi 
Ralf,
 
last 
time I checked the only publicly available information/documentation was the 
Code Model / Design Model API for Flex Builder 2. It in the Help System of FB2 
(Help > Help Contents > Adobe Flex Builder 2 
Extensibility)
 
I 
agree that we need more documentation if Adobe wants the community to add 
features to FB2. If there's no public API and we're building extensions just by 
try/guess, those extensions may not work with future versions of FB2. When I 
created the TODO/FIXME plugin for FB2 I had absolutely no clue where to 
hook into the product and in the end (and by the help of some very smart people) 
it's all done by setting up rather weird construct listens for 
MXML/AS getting opened and then it parses the contents. All without using 
the Code Model - simply because I did not know there's any information abozut it 
at all!

But our Java guys were just

Eclipse.

 

I 
must admit I felt slightly inferior and dissapointed when i

features.

 

Whats the 
deal,

I'm starting to feel like 
Barney Rubble chizzeling away at my keyboard in the stoneage era (i hope you

If i reinstall and use Eclipse

RE: [flexcoders] [Flex2] Error adding child to a ViewStack

[Dirk Eismann]

Hi Thomas,

> this.customerViewStack.selectedChild += 1;

You try to add 1 to a complex object (selectedChild is a reference to a
child of the ViewStack, *not* an numeric value!). Try this: 

  this.customerViewStack.selectedIndex += 1;


> this.customerViewStack.selectedIndex =
this.customerViewStack.numChildren;

this also breaks. selectedIndex is zero-indexed, wheras numChildren is
not. Try:

  this.customerViewStack.selectedIndex =
this.customerViewStack.numChildren-1;

Dirk.

RE: [flexcoders] var in Loop

[Dirk Eismann]

No, this does not work. for var in loops only work on dynamically
attached properties (i.e. your class is dynamic or you loop over the
props of an untyped Object instance)

To introspect a typed class instance use describeType(), it returns an
e4x XML structure that describes the type (hmm, probably the reason why
they named it that way)

RE: [flexcoders] Gradient Fill from LEFT to RIGHT

[Dirk Eismann]

You would have to implement this on your own.

A starting point would be a custom AS class extending
mx.skins.halo.HaloBorder. Inside override the updateDisplayList() method
and draw the gradient yourself. The HaloBorder class provides helper
functions to draw horizontal gradients by calling drawRoundRect() and
passing in a horizontal gradient matrix.

Finally, set the border-skin style of the Box/Application to the custom
class, e.g.

  border-skin: ClassReference("foo.bar.Gradient");

yep, 

same works for -source-path (and probably all other compiler flags as
well)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Managed Attribute for Actionscript class objects

[Dirk Eismann]

Hi,

[Managed] is only useful if you use the Data Management feature of the
Flex Data Services (FDS). If you just use RemoteObject to connect to
your Java side, then [RemoteClass] should be enough (maybe you may want
to add [Bindable] to the class body or some of the public properties).

[Managed] does some behind-the-scenes-magic, most importantly it takes
your AS class makes it implement the mx.data.Imanaged interface. This
ensures that all changes to the object are propagated to the Flex 2
framework. It also enforces that all instances of the class have a
unique UID identifier.

Rule of thumb: 

1) if you use the Data Management feature (with or without Cairngorm),
your VO classes should be decorated with [Managed] and [RemoteClass]
metadata. You can leave out [Bindable] as this is implicit for [Managed]

2) if you use RemoteObject (with or without Cairngorm) your VO classes
should be decorated with the [RemoteClass] metadata and may be
[Bindable] as well

Dirk.

76k? 
That seems quite large - mine is 9290 bytes only.
 
You 
may want to add the rpc.swc and utilities.swc to the external library path as 
the two SWCs add another bunch of dependencies to the resulting SWC

[flexcoders] Calling fill() on the same collection multiple times

[Dirk Eismann]

Hi,

simple question - and hopefully a simple answer :)

Imagine I have an ArrayCollection searchResult which is used to display
results returned from a fill() method. This fill() method gets invoked
with different additional arguments (the search query, additional filter
settinsg etc.).

What happens to the items in the ArrayCollection if I call fill() a
second time and pass in an ArrayCollection that already is filled with
different items?

1) they'll be released and removed from the DataStore automatically.
2) they won't be released - so over time the DataStore fills up with
"old" search result items.

I suspect 2) happens, right? In this case it seems to be a best practice
to release all items in an ArrayCollection that is frequently filled
with different item sets, right?

Dirk.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Anyone actually able to save data from flex

[Dirk Eismann]

It works fine for me - if you receive stream errors then this may be a
security issue or an issue with the server not being able to handle the
result correctly.

Instead of sending a XML structure, have you tried POSTing simple String
values? Does this work for you? 


Dirk.

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.

RE: [flexcoders] approach question: how to handle lookup table data?

[Dirk Eismann]

Hmm, I would probably go this route
 
- create a destination "level"
- the identity of this destination is levelID
- create an Assembler for this destination (e.g. LevelAssembler)
 
- create a destination "person"
- the identity of this destination is personID
- it has another property "level" which is a one-to-one relationship to 
destination "level"
- create an Assembler for this destination (e.g PersonAssembler)
 
So in the end, a Person instance holds a Level instance in the level property. 
 
To get a list of all Levels, you call fill() on the LevelAssembler. You can 
alos easily add/edit/delete Levels by using the LevelAssembler. When calling 
fill() on the PersonAssembler, the PersonDAO code is in charge of building the 
correct Person object and to build the right Level object on the Person 
instance.
 
Dirk.

Betreff: [flexcoders] approach question: how to handle lookup table data?



I'm working to architect an app using Flex Data Services.

As a simple example, let's consider the office management application.

I have a Person class, who has all the normal properties, one of which
is "Level" indicating the code for their level of seniority ("A" "1"
"2" ... "5" "P" -- for partner).

These designators have changed in the past, and may change / be added
to in the future.  And we'll definitely want to use them to drill down
for reports, metrics, etc.

>From my database background, I would have my People table have a field
called levelID, which points to the Levels table having the ID and
Name fields.  My reports would be something like "Select * from people
where levelID = 3", etc.

What about Flex and Data Services? 

I'll want to show that Person X has a level of "P" but also let them
edit that person and pick off from a list of levels (comboBox), so I
need a way to get that list (and add to it, in case somebody gets
promoted to "Y" (yoda))

Should I have my Person class contain an instance of the Level class
which has id and title properties?  THat sounds easy, but with the
number of parameters I'm dealing with, it sounds like a lot of effort.
 I'd also have to parse ALL the People to create my pick list of
Levels... 

Or should I have the server FILL a collection of People (with their
levelIDs) and another collection of Levels and use cursors, finds,
etc. to match up the data?

Or go totally uncoupled and just pass the level NAME to the client and
have the server back end deal with the ID matching?

I think my brain hurts.  Any thoughts?  Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] FDMS: check, if an item exists on the client?

[Dirk Eismann]

FYI: 
if an ArrayCollection is managed by a DataService, then the list property of the 
ArrayCollection is of type mx.data.DataList. This DataList holds a 
localItems Array which seems to track the references to the items available in 
this list. As the items are [Managed] (implement mx.data.DataService) they all 
have an uid property which is a String representation of the ID I need. 

 
So it 
really seems as if it's enough to drill down to the localItems Array and look 
for the UID in question.

  Hi 
  Jimmy,
   
  I 
  don't think there's a getItem() method on ArrayCollection. There's only 
  getItemAt() but that's useless as I don't have the index of the item. 
  
   
  Actually, all I know about the item is the unique ID (i.e. the PK from 
  the DB table) so what I need is something like
   
    myArrayCollection.getItemByUID(uid);
   
  where uid is an Object containing the unique ID, e.g. 
  
   
    var uid:Object = {organization_id: 123};
   
  Makes sense?
   
  So 
  far I have found no way to query a DataStore/Arraycollection/DataList/whatever 
  for an item by passing in the unique ID withouth going to FDMS if the item is 
  already living on the client.
   
  Dirk.

RE: [flexcoders] FDMS: check, if an item exists on the client?

[Dirk Eismann]

Hi 
Jimmy,
 
I 
don't think there's a getItem() method on ArrayCollection. There's only 
getItemAt() but that's useless as I don't have the index of the item. 

 
Actually, all I know about the item is the unique ID (i.e. the PK from 
the DB table) so what I need is something like
 
  myArrayCollection.getItemByUID(uid);
 
where 
uid is an Object containing the unique ID, e.g. 
 
  
var uid:Object = {organization_id: 123};
 
Makes 
sense?
 
So far 
I have found no way to query a DataStore/Arraycollection/DataList/whatever for 
an item by passing in the unique ID withouth going to FDMS if the item is 
already living on the client.
 
Dirk.

  I think what you are looking for 
  is:
   
  myArrayCollection.getItem( x

  Assuming myArrayCollection was 
  populated by the fill() method of a DataService.

RE: [flexcoders] FDMS: check, if an item exists on the client?

[Dirk Eismann]

Hi Seth,
 
thanks for your reply - the problem is that I cannot use ICursor.find as this 
only works on a sorted ArrayCollection and I cannot sort the collection in 
question as it uses paging. Doing a sort fetches all items.
 
Also, I'm not sure what you mean by saying "If you call getItem() you'll 
already have a reference to the item so just hang onto that". So far, to get a 
specific item I called 
 
  var ref:ItemReference = myDataService.getItem({id: 123});
 
added responders to the ItemReference and waited until the result came in to 
get a reference to the freshly fetched item. However, I don't want to make the 
trip to server, if the object is in the client already. 
 
What I want to achieve is the following:
 
1) create a new Person object 
2) set the organization attribute of the Person to Organization with ID 123
4) add the new Person to the personCollection (managed by a DataService, 
destination "person")
3) commit
 
So there are two DataService: on pointing to destination "person" and one 
pointing to destination "organization"
 
To set the organization attribute on the Person object, I need the Organization 
object with ID 123. This object may or may not already exist in the application 
in another ArrayCollection so I don't want to go to the server if this 
Organization object is already.
 
Perhaps I can use the localItems property of the DataList to look for the 
Organization - if it's not there, I use getItem() to fetch it.
 
Dirk.

Hi Dirk,

getItem() will always fetch the current state of the requested object from the 
server and update the local instance with the result if it exists. If you don't 
have auto sync enabled (server pushed updates) this is how you can periodically 
refresh your local instance.

If you call getItem() you'll already have a reference to the item so just hang 
onto that. If you've fill()'ed and you want to get a reference to an instance 
in your filled ArrayCollection take a look at the ICursor.find() APIs.

Best,
Seth

RE: [flexcoders] POP3 by Socket

[Dirk Eismann]

Don't have the correct syntax in front of me, but it should also be noted that 
by calling 
System.loadPolicyFile(http://www.foo.com/some/nested/folder/crossdomain.xml) or 
somthing similar, Flash Player can load crossdomain files that do not live in 
the "root" of the server. Also, by using loadPolicyFile() the file does not 
even need to be named crossdomain.xml :)

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm on Labs

[Dirk Eismann]

Hi,

some thoughts:

1) update the manifest file and add all Cairngorm classes to it
2) add the DestinationLocators provided by Peter Martin
3) update the library project so the SWC compiles against the Flex 2
framework without linking it (i.e. set the link type of the external
Flex 2 SWCs to external, right now they get merged into code)

RE: [flexcoders] Flex dataservices: fill vs asynctoken

[Dirk Eismann]

Asynchronous methods like fill() return an AsyncToken instance which you 
can use to add custom data to it (i.e. mark that ypu invoked a fill operation). 
In the result handling function the AsyncToken is available again, so you can 
add additional logic to your result handler, e.g.
 
private function 
resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
  
switch (event.token.kind)
  
{
    case "fill":
  ...
    case "delete":
  ...
  
}
}
 
AsyncToken is a dynamic class so you can add whatever properties you 
like.
 
Another use case of AsyncToken is to add responders to it - this allows 
you to dynamically setup result/fault handling functions:
 
var 
token:AsyncToken = ds.fill(collection);
token.addResponder(new ItemResponder(resultFunction, faultFunction, 
"fill"));
 
and 
then
 
private function resultFunction(result:Object, 
token:Object):void
{
  
// result usually is of type ResultEvent, 
  
// token is the third parameter passed to the ItemResponder 
constructor
  
if (result is ResultEvent)
  
{
   ...
  
}
}
 

private function faultFunction(result:Object, 
token:Object):void
{
  
// result usually is of type FaultEvent, 
  
// token is the third parameter passed to the ItemResponder 
constructor
  
if (result is FaultEvent)
  
{
   ...
  
}
}
 
Dirk.

[flexcoders] Does ComboBox support paging?

[Dirk Eismann]

I use a ArrayCollection that is managed by a DataService, the
destination uses paging.

Paging works fine when I use this ArrayCollection as the dataProvider
for a DataGrid. However, if I assign it to a ComboBox then only n items
get displayed where n is the pageSize of the destination.

So - does ComboBox support no paging at all? Do I have to implement my
own paging strategy?

Dirk.

[flexcoders] Set resubscribeAttempts on DataService?

[Dirk Eismann]

Is there any way to set the resubscribeAttempts of the underlying
Consumer instance used by a DataService?

In the case where the remote destination endpoint is not accessible
(i.e. network or server down) an attempt to connect to the destination
by invoking a fill() operation neither fires a fault event, nor do I get
a timeout (requestTimeout is set on the DataService) but just runs
forever.

Looking at the output of TraceTarget I see that the DataService's
consumers attempt to subscribe again and again but this never stops
automatically.

Any ideas?

Dirk.

  I don't think there is any way you can subscribe without having a

[flexcoders] TODO/FIXME extension for Flex Builder 2

[Dirk Eismann]

I finally found some time to finish the TODO/FIXME extension for Flex
Builder 2 - thanks to Jean-Luc ;)

Please go ahead and give it a try:

[flexcoders] FlashPlayerTrust files don't get updated by Flex Builder 2

[Dirk Eismann]

Has anyone experienced that when running a SWF from Flex Builder 2 which
accesses a local file (i.e. pull XML file through HTTPService) sometimes
Security Sandbox violations happen and sometimes not?

On my machine it all boils down to the fact that the
flexbuilder_plugin.cfg and flexbuilder_plugin.fbr files in the local
user FlashPlayerTrust don't get updated correctly. For example, running
the plugin version of FB2 the files don't get updated wheras running the
standalone version they get updated.

It seems that by default Flex Builder 2 automatically adds the current
workspace and the current project folders to the above files to allow
SWFs started from FB2 to access local data. For some reasons, this does
not always happen and we frequently run into those Sandbox violations
again and again.

Dirk.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 - Passing Custom Java Objects to Flex

[Dirk Eismann]

Hi Josh,

_remoteClass has been deprecated since Flex 1.5

To create a mapping between AS3 and Java classes in Flex 2you have to
use the [RemoteClass(alias="foo.bar.Classname")] metadata tag on your
AS3 class. Check the "Serializing data" chapter (p. 1089) in the
flex2_devguide.pdf for morre information.

Dirk.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and CF

[Dirk Eismann]

Unfortunately not - if your authenticated against FDS (or a service behind FDS 
by using setRemoteCredentials()) you're not automatically authenticated against 
the RPC destination as this is running in a different process and vice versa.

You'll have to set the same credentials on both RPC and DS service which of 
course makes things a bit more different to handle.

This is the major drawback when using both RPC and DMS with CF and I hope there 
will be a better solution in a future release.

RE: [flexcoders] TODO and FIXME in Builder ?

[Dirk Eismann]

No, 
it's not included in Flex Builder 2. 
 
I 
started developing a plugin extension for Flex Builder 2 that adds this kind of 
functionality to both the MXML and AS editors a while ago but it's only 50% 
finished yet. If I find a way to get rid of the "A-day-only-has-24-hours" 
problem then I hope to get it finished and packaged soon but unless it will take 
some time.

  This is a must for every eclipse users, specially

RE: [flexcoders] initial loader color/style

[Dirk Eismann]

You'll have to create your own loader by subclassing
mx.preloaders.DownloadProgressBar and then point the preloader property
of your Application class to your subclass.

There is a default setting for the background color and style of
the loader that you see before your app opens. Where can I change this?

RE: [flexcoders] Are there any good flash fonts that will work well in flex

[Dirk Eismann]

You may want  to take a look at FlashType fonts. These can be used in Flex 2 
and display much better than normal fonts. The Flex 2 documentation has a 
chapter on how to use FlashType.
 
Dirk.

Betreff: [flexcoders] Are there any good flash fonts that will work well in flex


One of the key things to defining an apps look and feel is fonts. But I find 
that truetype fonts just dont come out looking as good as flex's built in 
bitmap font. But I really dont want to look like every other application. In 
flash I know there are companies that sell great fonts, but I am wondering if 
anyone has anyone has any specific experience because working with some of the 
fonts I am familiar with you had to be careful to, for example, always specify 
one font size. 

Anyway, any recomendations would be appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] How to detect whether DisplayObject is popup or not?

[Dirk Eismann]

I see what you mean.

Unless your application has been loaded into another application then
Application.application.systemManager should give you the correct
SystemManager instance. By checking the SystemManager's popUpChildren
list you should be able to find all popups.

RE: [flexcoders] Declaring webservices??

[Dirk Eismann]

It's 
not out-of-the-box in Flex 2 but you can easily write a singleton-alike class 
that stores the references to your WebService instances and access it from 
anywhere in your application. The Cairngorm framework uses this approach for its 
ServiceLocator class.

  Hi 
  All,
   
  I seem to recall during the beta’s 
  seeing something where you can code your web services together and then 
  reference them at different points in the application. Kind of like a global 
  config for them so they can easily be reused. Though I can’t seem to find 
  anything on this now, is this possible??

You'll have to either make the name property of your FtpUser class
[Bindable] as well or set [Bindable] on the FtpUser class level.

[flexcoders] Announcing Flexforum.de

[Dirk Eismann]

Hey fellow German flexcoders,

after Flex 2 has hit the streets we're pleased to announce the launch of
Flexforum.de (http://www.flexforum.de) - our contribution to the Flex
community and especially to the German speaking folks. Flexforum is not
(and will never be) a counterpart to flexcoders but is meant as a
supplement for those of you that would like to get in contact with some
native-speaking Flexcoders.

Also - man sieht sich :)

RE: [flexcoders] What is the difference between versions of Flex Data Services

[Dirk Eismann]

The free one has no concurrent user limit -  it's all up to your 1 CPU
and how much it can handle. 

If you run a beefy app (not just using proxying but Data Management
Services and Messaging etc.) then I bet it will die before you reach the
100 :)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: About dates sent to a webservice. Is this correct?

[Dirk Eismann]

Yes - I think it's an issue with 1.1
 
In our last Flex 2/.NET 2 application we were able to correctly pass date 
objects between Flex and .NET 
 
The only thing you have to watchout for is to make sure that the DateTime 
object your return from .NET has its Kind set to UTC - if so, it should work 
fine.

Betreff: RE: [flexcoders] Re: About dates sent to a webservice. Is this correct?




I just tested this out (to see how bad it was!), and my web service
returned:

http://tempuri.org/";>2006-06-26T10:38:54.6541786+01:00

Which includes timezone info. When I call ToString() on the flash date,
it returns exactly the same (10:38+1:00). Is this just an issue with
.NET 1.1? We're using 2.0.

I've read through that thread, and this hardly seems like acceptable
behaviour to me.

We're sending dates from a .NET web service too, and we don't care about
the time. We're plotting them on a calendar. We can't afford to have
dates sent as one thing, and then rolled back to the previous day
because the client machine is in a different timezone. There *needs* to
be a way to turn this off. If my web service says an event occurs on the
1st June, I want Flex to give me the 1st June.

What's the point in Flex translating it, and then me having to translate
it back (and remember to do this *everywhere*)?

Yes this is correct.  I recently had a long thread about this.  What I
was told by Adobe is that If a web service defined the element-type in
WSDL as `dateTime' and sends a value that does not include a time zone
component Flex "has to" assume that this is UTC time and will
automatically adjust the Date value to your local time zone.

You can read my previous thread, including a post by Peter Farland
(Adobe) that this behavior is by design, and my workaround at:

set the HTTP status code to 200. This way the exception will be handled 
correctly by Flash Player (and that's how the Flex WS proxy handle this, 
too)
 
Another way would be to use servlet/ISAPI filters for this. With servlet 
filters this should be straightforward, not sure about ISAPI filters however.

  We're using .NET web services, no cold 
  fusion.
   
  Looks like we'll have to wrap all responses in try/catch, 
  and return an object with an error property, and the actual data as another 
  property. Disgusting :-(

  Preaching to the choir. 
  :)  Believe me...we feel the same way.  From everything we have 
  heard from Adobe, this will not be addressed within the player within this 
  release.
   
  That being said, does CF support anything 
  like filters in J2EE that allow you to do things like alter the contents of 
  all responses before they leave the server?  If so, you can simply change 
  that HTTP status code to 200 for all CFC requests that have resulted in SOAP 
  faults.
   
  Just to clarify, Adobe told  us 
  informally that they would be coming up with various server side solutions 
  that would take care of this for you. You would have to check with them to see 
  if they are doing this for Cold Fusion.

  This sounds 
  pretty worrying. We're using SOAP without any server/proxy. So 
  we won't be able to get the SOAP exceptions at 
  all?
   
  That sounds 
  like rather a fundamental flaw. It means we're unable to give the user any 
  sensible messages, because we don't have the exception type. Is this not being 
  fixed for the final release? :-(

  This is currently a 
  limitation in the Flash Player ( all versions ).  SOAP faults require 
  HTTP 500 to returned. When the FP sees a 500, it stops reading data from the 
  socket.  The current workaround is to use the proxy or to use some other 
  mechanism to change the HTTP status code to 200 before the FP receives 
  it. Yes I realize that this is pretty poor and has serious 
  limitations.
   
  One last note, Adobe is evidently working 
  on something akin to the proxy that does this for you on your server. Clearly, 
  this won't help you when accessing web services one machines over which you 
  have no control.

  code
  
  
  
  
  Scenario:Flash players talks directly to a SOAP web service, no 
  proxy is used.The proxy attribute of the WebService element is set to 
  "false". Aspecific web service operation generates an application level 
  userexception and the faultcode and faultstring is returned in the 
  SOAPbody. The FaultEvent object received by the fault handler 
  functiondoes not contain the faultcode and the faultstring from the 
  SOAPmessage. The faultDetail in the FaultEvent object is of type 
  "ioError"and the error text is "Error #2032: Stream error …….." . Whilst 
  theactual SOAP faultcode is "soapenv:Server.userException" and the 
  SOAPfaultstring is 
  "coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFCInvocationException:[coldfusion.runtime.UndefinedElementException 
  : Element SPELER.ID isundefined in SESSION."This is custom 
  exception thrown by a remote function in a ColdFusionCFC. This is not an 
  ioError. A TCPmonitor shows the correct message request and response 
  with thefaultstring and faultcode as expected. How can the actual 
  SOAP faultcode and faultstring be retrieved fromthe FaultEvent or in any 
  other way. Why is the fault description inthe FaultEvent object totally 
  different from the actual SOAP faultmessage. It is not a transport error 
  so why does the FaultEvent showsan ioError. It is an application level 
  exception and as such returnedto the Flash application encapsulated in the 
  SOAP body. Any suggestions, thank you[Inbound Mail Scanned by
