Re: [flexcoders] Mifration from flex 3 to flex 4.5
which appears to be a correct error to me. See the docs here
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/mx/resources/ResourceBundle.html
Maybe you have more code not shared or some such. Certainly, you can't use
a ResourceBundle reference that is not initialized.

Re: [flexcoders] What is the a correct lifecycle phase to add new child components?
ze MX way, yes. So, um, I suggest you look at the visible property. Adding
the child once in createChildren() then managing the visible property sounds
better in the long run. If you really must add/remove the button, I'd say
use updateDisplayList(), a good place for adding/removing dynamic children.
There's a crap ton of info on the life cycle, here is one such source

Re: [flexcoders] custom component as item in DataGrid?
A "item" in a datagrid represents a data point and is independent of how it is displayed. How a "item" is displayed is based on a ItemRenderer. So, what you want to go a googling on is:datagrid custom itemrenderer Unlike 2005 and Flex 1.5 days, you will find a plethora of results. The Flex docs at livedocs.adobe.com have a great write up on this topic. HTH!

Re: [flexcoders] Performance issues with data grid/advanced data grid
#1 below sounds way fishy. For performance reasons List based controls create only those ItemRenderers that would be viewable in the List and maybe 1 or 2 more. As the user scrolls, this set is re-used. What you have done is bypass this completely by making ALL rows visible and thus 1350 instances of your ItemRender, sitting inside a List control among various other pieces. A List control has built in scrolling, eh? Douglas Knudsen http://www.cubicleman.com this is my signature, like it?

I've seen this occur if there is some sort of startup error. ( No global exception handler, eh? ). For example, if your Air app is looking for a config file using static inatialiser on startup and can't find it, it could just hang there. Check the flashlog for errors.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Project Struture
these .files suck for distributed teams though, unless you force all your devs to use the same exact resource setup, something I'm loathed to here any manager tell me :) use svn:ignore to ignore files and not include them in your SVN repos. In Subclipse, right click the file or dir and choose Team > add to svn:ignore. Of course you can't have already added this file or dir to SVN. If you have already added it and want to pull it out and ignore it, you can copy it elsewhere, delete, commit, copy back, then ignore it. One trick I picked up recently from a co-worker was to rename these files and add them to SVN, this way they can be used as templates. eg rename .actionScriptProperties to .actionscriptProperties_Template.

Re: [flexcoders] package structure for different programming languages
which I find interesting. Early days showed folks mixing the two, I did in fact on couple a projects. Perter Marin of Adobe even had a special plugin for eclipse that made it possible to mix the Flex and J2EE natures in one project. This is wrapped into FB 3 now. What was seen then is to have a Flex *source* tree under flexsrc and Java source under *src*. Having this in one project allowed you to have your J2EE container running in Eclipse and a Flex compile would build the swf and the run button would execute the swf in the same J2EE container. This also allowed for easy war or ear building. Why is it suggested now to separate these? Do JSP folks really use a project for the JSPs, and probably some HTML, and another project for beans/EJBs? Do PHP folks seperate the PHP code into one project and the HTML in another? Certainly Flex/AS is a compiled player in this arean, but it si still just the UI. Just stirring the pot for discussion on why this separation is recomended.

Re: [flexcoders] foreign keys in value objects
I suppose it depends. Bet you never heard that answer before! IMHO, if you are just displaying data in a DG or something, just use some XML and go for it. If you need to actually interact with the data, use the VOs in a architected model. Suppose your use case is that a user needs to add a department to a employee, code would be something like myEmployeeInstance.department = chosenDepartment where chosenDepartment is a Department instance. Your objects on the server would be modeled this way, model them in your RIA this way too, less work. You may not be doing anythign wrong with your apporach, you know your use case best, eh? YMMV greatly here. It may be that having the departmentID and a lookup table is all you need really. But what about next week when suddenly a employee needs to be in two departments? I used to work with PeopleSoft data a lot, trust me rules get broken all the time :) Or maybe next month the client wants to see more info about the department? I will note that you do not need to query for the department on each employee interation in your server code. Just make your SQL return the all the (flat) data properly and while interating over it create both the Employee instance and the Department instance.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Question about Best Practices for Applications with many views using Cairngorm
personally, I leave States to component level 'dynamic Flexi-magik' and use Viewstacks for major view changes. Viewstacks just seem more appropriate for major view changes. States I leave to component changes, eg a edit vs view in a form or something like that. IIRC, States actually are more complicated in implementation too, in case that matters. I just think the intent of States was not application state, rather component state.

Re: [flexcoders] Question about Best Practices for Applications with many views using Cairngorm
I know this thread is being expounded upon, but thought I'd address your post directly. I would question storing all your view states in a big phat view stack and managing that via modellocator. The idea is, at least how I've been practicing it, is to use this viewstack that has its state managed by the modellocator to manage the MAIN view state, and I'm not talking State with a capital S here. eg, login and main or something like login, module1, module2, etc. Each of these top level views represent the major view sections in your app. Each of these may have its own view stacks with children having even more view stacks, however you need set it up. These main views would manage the state of each child stack, not the modellocator.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder 3.0.1 and Eclipse 3.4 classic not working together
jazzamin! I have not tested all functionality yet, I do have work to do after all, but here is how to get FB 3.0.1 into Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede.

Re: [flexcoders] Save Flex Projects
well, seems a 'professional developer' would certainly use a SCM tool :) All jests aside, you can export a project via the File > Export menu item. Choose Flex Builder > Flex Project Archive in the Export dialog. This will make a zip file you, or whomever, can use the import tool to re-create later. side note: you can close a project in the Navigator. This will remove it from the current projects list freeing up memory and such, basically a closed project is ignored.

Re: [flexcoders] sending a text message from air/flex application
Flex can't as of yet send email. You need some server and code there to handle this. Thus server+middleware, middleware being Java, PHP, PHP, etc.. You can set this up pretty easy with a single page that accepts a form POST and have Flex use HTTPService. http://www.php-scripts.com/php_diary/122899.php3 is some example PHP code.

Re: [flexcoders] sending a text message from air/flex application
or you can send via email. If you are only concerned about sending outgoing messages without replies and interaction you can send via email. eg, for t-mobile send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course you still need a server+middle ware to handle the sending. Without a server you could use a mailto link to use the users email client.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Got Error #2032: Stream Error invoking web service for IE6 and IE7
welcome to 2032 hell :) as you should have run across, this is a generic error thrown when th ebrowser says there is something wrong, but the browser does not tell FP what is wrong. I've seen this afflict IE with some webservices. It would happen randomly and with the same exact call/returned data pattern too, so I ruled out bad data.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Questions about Drag and Drop Tree Controlls
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/dragdrop_1.html
check this out, its the drag and drop section in the Flex dev manual.
THere is at least one Tree example in there.
By the way, the way I look at it at least, is that you do not drag and
drop nodes, list elements, itemRenderers, etc with drag-n-drop
functionality. Rather you drag the data behind these elements with a
nifty little image to indicate what is being dragged.

Re: [flexcoders] CFC/VO match not recognized
your first getEstimate() shoudl do it, the second will only return to
Object in Flex. Now, that said, I believe you need setters/getters on
all vars in your CFC, this might be the case for sending from Flex to
CF, but not sure, its been a whole year since I messed with CF that
much :) Also note two things about CFCs and arrays. To return a
array of foo.cfc you use returntype="com.meridien.foo[]" to specify a
array of foo. Secondly, arrays in CFCs do not map to arraycollections
in Flex. you can see my post here
http://www.cubicleman.com/2007/02/13/coldfusion-and-flex-composite-cfcs-and-arrays/
on how to get around that if you really need a arraycollection in your
Flex UI.
HTH!

Re: [flexcoders] Object not passed as Remote Object parameter
well, even if your swf is loaded via file://, the RemoteObject call is
over the network, even if localhost, so service cap should see it, eh?
Not sure of the rest. When I've worked with CF/Flex, I made it all
typed on both sides of the fence.

Go get Service Capture

install it and check your traffic to be sure the goods are being sent

Also, post the code for say Estimate.as

Re: [flexcoders] Remote Object Paths
right, so have your server code (CFCs) sit in the same folder path in
dev, staging, and production so doesn't matter what Flex, Flash, HTML
client it is, who cares. ORif you are running ColdFuison 8, you
can set application specific mappings in application.cfc. So, in your
local dev application.cfc you could have a mapping that looks like
production set to whatever you want.

Re: [flexcoders] Component Questions
You need to inject data from parents into children. If children need
to send data up the chain to parents, use a event. Thus, in the below
add a public variable client and set this upon creation like this

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Problems passing value objects between Flex and CF
The AS file's remoteobject metadata should have alias point to the CFC using full dot-path notation. The alias attribute on the CFC is not required, but would be this same path. You don't specify the path to your AS object anywhere, would kind of defeat a few things that. would, eh? http://www.jeffryhouser.com/index.cfm/2007/10/9/Why-does-ColdFusion-return-a-CFC-to-Flex-as-a-generic-object :) See Tom's comments thereBTW, your site is appears to be down currently Jeff.

resource.properties usage [ was Re: [flexcoders] internationalization @ switching runtime]
Gordon, curious, I've heard it is recommended to use a Module for each language and load them at runtime. This still recommended? I'd think baking all languages into the swf would be ok, its all simple text strings after all. Perhaps its the ubiquitous 'it depends'? What is Adobe's recommendation on this the need to support several languages and resource bundles?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Splitting FlexCoders in smaller, focused groups
Having been on this list since 2004, yeah back when the Iteration folks were not Adobe Robe Wearers yet, I've seen this discussion come up a few times. I've asked for a associated FAQ a few times, but there was no interest from the Iteration folks on this or splitting up things, no offense Alistair or Stephen you more than rocked with helping this community. I'd certainly agree to a good FAQ be made available and sent to the list monthly for all to be reminded and have it linked at the footer. Bjorn has a good point later in this thread about the idea that answers are terse due to volume. Matt, I do agree with your #1, but #2 and #3 sounds too much like list mommies or invitations for list mommies. Something quite uncommon to the best of my recollection on flexcoders is the real need for list mommies. I'm in Anatole's camp on this, having multiple lists could be beneficial to all as well as the community. Do we know this for a fact? Nope, my crystal ball isn't helping, but it has with many other topics in the past. Conversely it may have hindered others, but perhaps because the introduction of split lists was premature, who knows. Hey, there are already multiple lists, besides flexcomponents there is HOF_Flex for one and the India based list too, I'm sure there are others. I suggest we start off with a couple very generic variants. flexcoders_enterprise seems ok to me, those that work with enterprise tools would find it obvious. leave flexcoders as is, add in a designer centric list, and a advanced list and go from there, revisit in a few months to see how it went.

Re: [flexcoders] Need array example

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Using custom item renderer with List
is your renderer complex and using bindings? Try making use of invalidation approaches. eg, in set data() call invalidateProperties() and override commitProperties() where you do the actual work.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: bug in setMonth() method?
try
myDate = new Date(2008, 3, 6,0,0,0,0); //use new Date(2008, 2, 8,0,0,0,0)
for US
myDate.date += 1;
instead, eh?
I suspect mutating myDate.time is looked at as low level manipulation for
special cases. Just a guess.

what is the error? You speak of a dataProvider, a TileList, and a itemRenderer but I see nothing in the renderer below referring to the 'data' object of the TileList, rather its using info from the model directly.

Re: [flexcoders] Error #2032: Stream Error
not necessarily. this 2032 error is thrown when the browser tells the player something mucked up in the response before the browser passed the response to the player. Whatever the mucked up issue is, the browser does not tell the player what is at issue and it gets the 2032 label.

case where you switch from storage in your SO to say S3 or a big phat Oracle
DB. You only need change your delegate. You can also have a Command that
mutates your Model in some way that doesn't need any Delegate or Responder.
Now, if you just want to add 1 + 1, try Googling on 'AbacusCommand' hehe!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: with itemRenderer
try capturing whether a drag can occur based on a mouseOver maybe. eg, onMouserOver set canDrag = true if NOT over the footer. Then in your drag handler check this to see if drag is allowed or not. This technique I use usually to make sure the user clicks on the actual object to be dragged, but not outside the object.

Anytime Image.source changes the loader loads the image located at the given URL. The browser would handle any caching of that.

Re: [flexcoders] Soap and Dates - big problems! any soap+flex ninjas here can help?
yeah, that section reads xsd:dateTime Date If no timezone information is present, local time is assumed. which I do not see occurring. Seems to ignore the TZ info in the SOAP response and uses local TZ in 2.0.1 HF1. Note though that if you use the default return format of Object in a webservice method, this is automagic. If return format is say e4x, you can parse the date yourself correctly. IME, but YMMV and other cryptic letter combos.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: What do you think of UM Cairngorm Extensions,especially for Modular Apps?
After joining UM and working with this I found the most kewlest slick part I like is the callback support in Cairngorm events. Uber sweet at helping you handle results and not bloating out your ModelLocator instances. Also, the sweet hook that easily sets up using dispatchEvent no matter if its a Cairngorm event or not. Concerning modules, err not the most entertaining subject in my book so I will not speak too much about it, but yeah, no example exists yet using the extensions for them TIKO, but we do use these day-to-day. The controllers added enable your modules to be part of the eco-system yet separate and pluggable. Consider a app that has module A and B loaded at run time. How does say a gesture in module B throw a Cairngorm event that module A reacts to? The modified controllers enable this. Peruse the inline comments in the com.universalmind.cairngorm.control package for some info.
