[flexcoders] Style/skin the Menu class?
We have created a hoverMenu:Menu and I've been asked to style it. It seems that one would need to extend Menu to make that possible. I'm a bit confused on where to start. Any help? It's a simple box with a bg color, a solid border, a header and inside the box is the menu feed by XML data. It seems to me that we could have used VBox and put the menu inside it, but before we change that, I wanted to see how someone might make a simple style change to the Menu class itself.

Re: [flexcoders] Component Data Calls
We hit a number of issues using modules as well. Pretty much most of them had to do with modules loading resources before the main app so that raised issues with main app or other modules trying to use them...not all resources had the issue and it became a guessing game of putting dummy vars etc in the main app so we gavce up. A pity since other than that we even got the back browser button to work with modules. We are hoping that Flex 4 will make it work better.

[flexcoders] Re: Why most Flex Developer job ads ask now for Knowledge in Java??
I think that is because flex is now making inroads into the enterprise and Java is one of the big languages for big enterprises. SAP Business objects product XCelsius is based on Flex and has come with an SDK that lets you integrate Flex components as BOBJ components for dashboarding. SAP Visual Composer is based on flex too. Oracle has some products that use it as well. Now for enterprise's using Java, UI has laways been the weakest link. JSP is decent but nowhere close to Flex. JSF never got that popular ans struts is age-old but still used. The real problems is multitude of technologies there that are complex and still do not do that good a job. Enter Flex with its good integration capabilities, remoting capabilities, browser independent development etc and the really cool nice interface at a quarter of the time... So the strongest contender on UI is trying to replace the weakest performer here. Don't get me wrong...I am a java guy and I love it (a bit of love is lost after the oracle acquisition) but having used Servlets, JSP, Struts and MyFaces I really like Flex. You do not have to know that much Java...just a bit on how servlets work, security and web services.

[flexcoders] Re: Null pointer exceptions in call from Flex
Hi Tom, Since it apparently happens randomly, it seems it depends on the data that is being passed from Flex to CF and that can vary depending on user input or selection. So, it seems some combination of this data is not loved by the CFASSerializer in the AMF gateway. I think you will have to troubleshoot it with different data combinations and see what causes it to error. Based on my experience with AMF, CF and flex, just can't think of anything else.

There are other alternatives to credit card processing...payments gateways. Sorry to toot my own horn here, but we use Google checkout and Paypal simply because we don't want to get into that complication and we want the shoppers to feel secure about there purchase. Have you considered using those? Flexdownloads.com has those integration components for flex. You can also evaluate using Credit card acceptance thru paypal. We don't have any integration components for that, but it should be easy to do that, and it will be a more secure buying experience for your shoppers.

It can be done, but it does not have much to do with flex. The server side that sends the file can decide what name to give the file.

[flexcoders] Re: Change the color of the gray disabled background for PopUpManager
Yes there is. You can put this in the CSS in the global style global { modal-transparency: 0.65; modal-transparency-color: #00; modal-transparency-blur: 0; } The modal transparency defines the transparency of the background when popup is active, the color defines the non-grey color you want to use (of couse 00 referes to black here and clearly that's not the color you want) and the blur refers to the amount of blur you want to apply to the background app when the popup is active. This will affect all modal popup windows...

[flexcoders] LCDS + MD5 + PostGreSQL and JRun4
Hi FlexCoders, This is probably not your thing to help me with, but just maybe someone have it in top of their head and can point me in the right direction on this. Issue: JRun 4 update 7 standalone server. PostgreSQL 8.4 default install, with md5 crypt on password. LCDS 2.6.1 with custom SQL assembler. The problem, I'm using the JrunLoginCommand connected to the native PostgreSQL user role and role group. This password is crypt with md5 , when I attempt to connect with LCSD Channels::Login over RTMP it don't work using plain text. Then I figured out that I have to send the password in md5 format, did copy and paste the md5 string from PostgreSQL and pasted it into the password field in Flex app and it connected. I have looked at some MD5 encoders for AS3 but maybe I have to tweak it to be compatible with PostgreSQL anyone have a Idea? Here is the hash form password in PostgreSQL : secretpassword = md5b6b7afff2e118778d175c88f52098a3f http://gsolofp.blogspot.com/2006/01/actionscript-3-md5-and-sha1.html http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/

Re: [flexcoders] how do you blur smoothly between two states?
I know I'm answering my own questions but hope someone has gone down the same path as me, can tell if I'm overlooking something obvious or wants to learn from my mistakes. . . My previous idea didn't work thanks to transition>blur>BlurInstance>TweenInstance>Tween.endTween. endTween sets the tween to whatever state it should be at in the final position. In this case whatever blurXTo and blurYTo is. to work around I'm listening for an update event and reset the blur to the last known value after it gets set to the end value on effectEnd. HOWEVER, this causes a noticable flicker as the endTween state is briefly displayed because BlurInstance.onTweenEnd.calls the private setBlurMethod. so it now seems that i need to override the endTween method in my own class to prevent the tween from setting its to values. Unless of course I'm missing something painfully simple. ? ____ From: Flex Noob To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, December 12, 2008 12:51:22 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] how do you blur smoothly between two states? just dug into the AS3 classes and it by default fromX/fromY has a default value of 4 and in the BlurInstanceClass it doesn't save the current blurX/BlurY values.

[flexcoders] MasterTextInput - Open Source
Guys, I developed a component for Flex called MasterTextInput. Fully Open Source project and created on Google Code. The MasterTextInput extends from standard TextInput class with new features and facilities implemented to help us in our day-to-day.

[flexcoders] SOT: Apache and Windows resources
Trying to setup some Alias paths, within Apache, exposing resources available on a Storage Area Network. These are primarily media type resources (site.com/images, site.com/media, etc.) When working with IIS, you set these up as Virtual Directories, and apply any user permissions within that directory's Properties. Access permissions are defined by a Domain Controller. So, the question is, how do you cover the same directory authorization within an Apache configuration? I've done Aliases to UNC resources in the past, but never had to worry about the DC authorization before. Anyone have an idea as to how this authorization is configured? -- Steve "Cutter" Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3 Layout of long form
As far as the php goes... A good solution would be to use amfphp or some kind of remoting using RemoteObject. Simply great a method in your php and call it in your Flex app. To go even further you can create two identical classes, one in php and one in actionscript and have them become aliased objects, these are called vo's.

The form/formitem/formheading elements are AFAIK just there to give you some easy graphical structure for a form type screen. That's it. 2) Assuming that is true, then all the fields, labels, form elements and the submit button must be inside the same Form tag, correct? I think FormItem and FormHeading have to be in a Form but that's it. 3) If the form is long, how would I use either Accordion features, or view states or something else to allow easier presentation of different segments of the form? In other words, I don't want this going on for 20+ items, including TextAreas, as that could be long. Break the questions into logical groups, then put then in different sections of the accordion. Lastly, would ColdFusion work better with this than PHP? While I'm a ColdFusion programmer professionally, I'm certain that you can do what you want with PHP. I'm unclear of the methods available to PHP to pipe data back and forth (other than HTTPService, which would treat your PHP page as a webservice I think).

Because bitmaps and static vector artwork can only go so far. I make 80-90% of my skins in Degrafa.

Re: [flexcoders] BlazeDS broadcast updates to others?
BlazeDS does not have true push (RTMP), it emulates push through polling. Basically your update would push a message to a gateway, that then broadcasts that message to a specific channel for BlazeDS, and the client's polling would pick up that message from BlazeDS in it's next polling cycle (think the default is 8 seconds, but that can be adjusted in the xml config).

JRun is a full featured J2EE server, and integrating BlazeDS with CF8 is a snap. You can use JBoss or Tomcat if you are more familiar with them, but the JRun install would be fine, with typically less learning curve.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Is SWFObject ready for prime time?
We switched over to SWFObject (then FlashObject) when the EOLAS patent stuff first came out, and it worked fantastic. Until we began to use JQuery. Some things were fine, but any page that had a flash object, renedered via SWFObject, would not be able to use any functions of JQuery. Wait, let me fix that statement: would not be able to use any functions of JQuery **in Internet Explorer** (go figure). We saw something similar with a legacy SWFObject call interfering with us using Ext on the same page. This took a little time to discover, and even longer to figure out, but basically SWFObject breaks the DOM in IE. We found that this wasn't an issue when we used the js that Flash bundles in when you compile your Flash movie, so we wrote a wrapper and started using that instead. It's worked flawlessly ever since. Steve "Cutter" Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com
Re: [flexcoders] connection downtime in flex/blazeds?
We went through this recently with an HTML/AJAX based AIR app, utilizing the Flex/Ajax Bridge to communicate with blazeDS. We found a method in the Consumber obj that basically checked the connection and re-subscribed if the connection had been broken. The Flex/Ajax Bridge Consumer object is basically a JavaScript version of the AS3 class within Flex (same API, mostly), in fact we used the AS3 API docs to figure out it's usage (since the FAB is not well documented.)

Re: [flexcoders] AIR QnA
Last I checked, AIR operates in a bit of a sandbox. It allows file system access and whatnot, but it can't spawn OS native apps, etc. It's part of the built in security features. There may be some things you could do with the Merapi project, but I couldn't say for sure. No, I doubt you can listen for OS events of that nature.

You would think that this should be possible, as a Flex app is basically a Flash file on the front end. The backend stuff wouldn't matter to the phone, other than the need for a data connection.

Re: [flexcoders] CF/Flex Wizard for CRUD CFCs - any tutorials out there?
Shawn, I did a review of the RDS Plugins not long after FB was released. While it is a handy tool to get you 85%-90% of the way, it is limited in that it doesn't handle on the fly changes to db architecture, requiring you to re-run the wizard. Some people place their independent logic, additional queries, etc. in separate CFCs, extending those created by the wizard. In doing this you keep all of your code whenever you re-run the wizard. Others don't use the wizards at all, but will use an ORM framework, like Reactor, that will automatically rebuild objects on the fly whenever the architecture has changed (within development mode), in conjunction with ColdSpring's AOP capabilities for generating remote facade components for the remoting calls.

[flexcoders] EventDispatching - need a little help with this one
I'm using bubbling, or at least i think i am to capture an event... I've extended the event class to make my own event mechanism. the events are being dispatched, however the problem is, that I'm adding an event listener to my custom mxml component to receive the events and nothing happens. I've probably got something backwards... Doesn't bubbling set to true allow the event to be captured by any component in the order that they are created? my code is as follows: var evt:MeEvent = new MeEvent(MeEvent.REMOTE,true); dispatchEvent(evt); --- package com.me { import flash.events.Event; public class MeEvent extends Event { public static const REMOTE:String = "remote"; public var realTarget:*; public function MeEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean=true, cancelable:Boolean=false) { super(type, bubbles, cancelable); } } } -- And inside my custom component this is the event listener. private function init():void{ this.addEventListener(MeEvent.REMOTE, handleEvent); } Thanks for your time, Patrick

HI, I'm trying to include an swf file (generated from FlexBuilder) within another swf file using . The included file is located on a different server, and the include works fine.

[flexcoders] Re: Including one swf file from another (crossdomain)
Answering my own question..the solution was to add : Security.allowDomain("www.xyz.com"); in the loader file . But i'm now having other issues when the include happens.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: sprites in MXML
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks! fl, does this help you? You can always add a UIComponent in MXML and then add Children to it...

I think all other objects that can have children require chlidren to be DisplayObjects. So you can add a DisplayObject as a child to a Sprite, UIComponent, DisplayObjectContainer, etc. I mostly work with Actionscript so I don't know about puting Sprites in MXML, but if you can, the Sprite would need to be the child of a UIComponent. - Dan On 10/10/06, flexlearner < flexlearner@yahoo.co.in> wrote: No not in canvas only..My general question is if at all we have to use sprites in our mxmlfile..how should we do it.. what will the approachRegards,fl--- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com, "flex-guitar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:>> I've had trouble with this as well.

RE: [flexcoders] sprites in MXML
I've had trouble with this as well. I ended up putting a UIComponent in the Canvas and adding children to it instead of to the Canvas. I don't know why Canvas throws an error, since it is a subclass of UIComponent, but it does.

RE: [flexcoders] rowCount = {dataProvider.length}
Thanks Benoit, That is better than entering the dataProvider twice. I'm being nitpicky, but I'd rather have a self-reference - so that I don't have to change either the id or the dataProvider string twice if I reuse or change the code. Something like event.target for events. But id is less likely to change than the dataProvider, so this is a step in the right direction.
