Re: [flexcoders] Porting an AIR app to iOS

[Grant Davies]

2 & 3 should work fine, 1 will work with minor modifications to make sure it's
Optimized for mobile tablet.  I don't remover off the top of my head if there 
is a embedded browser for tablet in air of if you have tainch a headless safari.

HI Rich..

1) you'd have to have an event handler listen for the pinch gesture and then 
scale your grid based on how much you want it to scale/shrink

http://paultrani.com/2011/02/touch-events-and-gestures-on-mobile/  ( look at 
pinch/zoom)


2) you there are a few methods to handle the DPI variation, we generally target 
the primary device and set our application dpi to that ( for example I'm 
building an app for a 7" android right now and have my DPI set to 166), there 
is quite a good article here on handling DPI

I've blogged how to get the 3dWall working as flex component using the
Flex Component kit for flash - here :

I chose to put some code in Flash to "clean up" the interface and

That would be great. There's a user group I was supposed to speak to 
about this process, but it turns out that there are very few free 
Flash components that will accept any kind of a data source except 
the path to an XML file. Since I wasn't able to give them the 3D 
wall (obviously) and I couldn't find a free component that I could 
let them use for hands-on practice, I'm in the process of writing an 
example component I can use to demo.

The problem is that I can't stop myself from building it "right" for 
Flex in the first place, so I won't be able to demo all the things 
you have to overcome to work with a component that's not very robust.

I can point them to your blog post to get more info on that.

Thanks!

Thanks Amy,

 

I actually managed to get it to work as a Flex component in the end, it
was pretty fiddly but once figure out its simple, I can create the
3dwall instance and add it to a view state or container and don't have
ANY code in flash at all.  But I still have complete code completion in
flex from the generated swc.  

 

Basically my fla has the 3dwall in the library and I export a swc, pull
into flex and wrap it in a UIComponent and I'm done.

 

I'm going to blog about  how to set it up if you're interested I can let
you know once I post.

IIRC, the XML and object methods of loading work completely 
differently. If you're using an object, you need to use "url" 
instead of "src". I think if you get that wrong it will fail without 
error. I also recall I had to "read between the lines" of their docs 
to figure that out.

What I did with my component is that I had a setup() method that I 
called in the constructor that fed in some dummy data while I was 
still in the Flash environment. That way I could make sure 
everything was working before I exported the swc, and if I had a 
problem, the FlashLoaded engineers couldn't play the "don't support 
Flex" card. Just before I exported the swc, I'd comment out the setUp
() call, and then I'd do the actual setup from Flex.

HTH;

[flexcoders] Geting the 3dWall Pro to work as flex component ?

[Grant Davies]

Hey guys,

 

I have the 3d wall pro component from :

 

http://www.flashloaded.com/flashcomponents/3dwall/

 

I successfully created a flex component from it, added it to a view
component and initialized its instance with code

 

Like :

 

var wall : com.flashloaded.Wall3DPro.Wall3DPro = mainView.wall;

  

  wall.setMediaPaths("/assets/img/portfolio/",
"/assets/img/portfolio/");

  

  var obj:Object = new Object();

  obj.type = "image/jpeg";

  obj.src ="aso-calendar-200x150.jpg";

  obj.width="200";

  obj.height="150";

 

var objArray : Array = new Array();

  

  objArray.push(obj);

  wall.addElements( objArray, "array");

 

wall.init();

 

 

I then run my app in the debugger and I do see the wall loading the
jpegs correctly but the wall is "never" visible.

 

If I check the instance in the debugger its visible is true, its width
and height look good, its parents width/height/visible all look good
too.

 

 

I then used an fla and published a swf instead and embedded the swf with
the same code and it works and displays.  I'd prefer to use it as a flex
component but I can't figure out why its "running" but isn't visible.

 

Flashloaded just say they don't support flex if you google their forums.

 

 

Cheers

Grant

RE: [flexcoders] Flex and asSQL - Crossdomain issue?

[Grant Davies]

I would suspect the same, add a crossdomain in the root of your site (or
you can use a policy element to put it somewhere else but more fiddly)

 

In your cross domain add the 'all ports', if you are just 'testing' you
can leave it wide open :

 







 

It should be accessible via

 

http://gauravt-xp/crossdomain.xml

 

you could try

 

http://gauravt-xp:8080/crossdomain.xml but I'm not sure it will work.

 

I'm pretty sure flash requests the crossdomain file on port 80 (maybe
override-able by a policy file), but my sites all run on port 80 so not
messed with it in a while.

 

A good way to see whats going on is using the Charles httpd debugging
proxy to monitor the traffic and see if it request a cross domain xml
file, if it does and your applications fails right after that then you
can be sure it's a silent failure due to the policy file.

 

Cheers

Grant

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex and asSQL - Crossdomain issue?

 


Hi everyone,

Yesterday I developed my first flex 3 app and placed the "Release build"
in
the webapps folder of tomcat (5.5.26). The application is quite simple
and
just needs to populate the datagrid with the data in MySQL (which is on
the
same machine on port 3306). I have used asSQL to communicate. When run
from
flex builder, I get the app to work perfectly. But on accessing the URL
"http://gauravt-xp:8080/MyAppsName/MyHTML.html";, I get a blank datagrid.

My suspicion is that this is related to crossdomain.xml file. Am I right
with this? If yes where should I place it?

I searched on the forum and could not find a definitive answer. The
crossdomain file that I have created looks like:

http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd";>




I tried placing it in the "webapps" and "webapps/ROOT" folder of tomcat
but
data was not populated.

Thanks in advance for the help.
Gaurav

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Builder hangs and I have to end the process
when opening app in design view

 

I am using latest Flex Builder 3.0.2 on Windows XP Sp2.
I have created a custom component in ActionScript. Then I create
another mxml component based on my ActionScript component. Finally,
when I place this component and open design view, the Builder hangs
and I have to kill it.
I tried a number of things:
1. Changing VM parameters in order to increase memory available to FB
2. Defragmenting my disc
3. Erasing eclipse history
4. Creating new workspaces
If I try to open my workspace on another machine, it will suffer
similar problems, but never did the other programmer have the similar
situation although creating application in similar manner (mxml
component based on custom as component placed on application).
Anyone had similar problems? Found some advice to upgrade machine but
my PC is dual processor and 3 GB ram with enough disc space..

RE: [flexcoders] Can a 'child' tell when its parents view state changed?

[Grant Davies]

Thanks for the idea leds,

 

The added event is fired when the child is first added (same time as
creationComplete is fired), but when the child is made "visible" due to
a state change by the parent the added is not fired again on the child.

 

Cheers,

Grant

have you tried the added/removed events? usually hiding/showing children
in viewstates using the design mode entail adding/removing the
corresponding children rather than just hiding or setting the
visibilities  unless you explicitly set them to be so in the source
view.

I have a set of viewstates that are used many times.  When the view
state is changed, I would like the child to "reset" its view.  I would
like the child to know when it is "revealed" due to the state change of
the parent.  It seems that the child does not know when the parent
changes view states at all so the only way I could do this would be to

 

1)  Have the controller that changes states reset the child

2)  Have the child register for the viewstate ENTER_STATE event on
its parent 

 

I've tried capturing hide/show/render on the child, but none of those
"fit"  What does flex actually do to children when they are no visible
due to a "remove child" in a state, I would have assumed that they would
be hidden but that doesn't seem to be the case and digging through the
viewstate and addchild code of the sdk its not obvious to me what a
state change really does under the covers to hide or reveal a  set of
children.

CakePHP for a lot of clients, its quick and it works.  I do .NET for
other clients, all depends on the application and platform, number of
expected users, failover/faul tolerance and deployment target.
 
With flash I've done mainly .NET backends and some JAVA, with flex we've
done entirely CakePHP for time to market/deployment target.

RE: [flexcoders] Problems with EventDispatching

[Grant Davies]

I used the cairngorm event dispatcher and you don't need to use all of
cairngorm to use it..
 
Its like a central dispatcher...
 
so your component out there that wants to dispatch a "user selected a
date" event..
 
var dateSelectedEvent = new DateSelectedEvent();
dateSelectedEvent.startdate = someDate;
 
CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(dateSelectedEvent);
 
 
now in the objects that need to listen you may have :
 
CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().addEventListener(DateSelectedEven
t.type, onDateSelected);
 
private function onDateSelected(event:CairngormEvent)
{
 
trace("got a date selected event");
 
}
 
 
 
I use this same model in flash with the arp and arpx components and it
works very well.  I'm not a big fan of event bubbling, it may work but I
don't really like it, its a personal thing :)
 
if you don't want to pull in the cairngorm swc you can create your own
central event dispatcher, its pretty easy, here is one I used before I
used cairngorm...
 
ackage com.bluetubeinteractive.control
{
 import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
 import flash.events.Event;

 
 public class SystemController extends EventDispatcher
 {
  private static var _instance:SystemController = null;
  
  private var _mainContainer:DisplayObjectContainer;
  
  public function SystemController()
  {
   if (_instance == null)
_instance = this;
  }
  
  public static function getInstance():SystemController
  {
   if (_instance == null)
_instance = new SystemController();
   
   return _instance;
  }
  
  public function dispatchEvent(event:Event):Boolean
  {
   trace("dispatching event " + new Date().toTimeString());
   return super.dispatchEvent(event);
  }
 
 
 }
}
 
obviously remove the trace once your are rolling with it..
 
Cheers,
Grant.

No, the controller does what it does now- listens for the data change
and invokes a command.
The command however, can then dispatch 'get other data'.

It doesn't. All it knows it to broadcast a NewDateEvent. What the

RE: [flexcoders] cairngorm event that will affect all models, where to put the logic.

[Grant Davies]

The question was, who should fire that event ?

The date change view fires the "change date" event and a command updates
the model for the date..

Who should then fire the "get new data" event, the commmand, the
main.xml, I think its some "central" part of the app that should do
that...

One way to do it is for the ChartView to manipulate the data as it
wishes. So have a setter in the ChartView MXML like so:



And inside the view it looks like so:


  
  public function set dataProvider( values:XML ):void {
... do stuff here
  }
  

  ... view stuff here ...

gareth,
 
thanks for the response... I think my concern is poluting the model with
view specific data...  
 
The results of a command is xml and this is set in the model which is an
as class (VisitorModel) ,  the chart bound to the model via its data
provider.
 
when the app first starts up, I don't have any xml, a user picks a date
range, I hit a web service and get valid xml back, then  the chart has
to has create a column series based on some labels in the xml,  so I
need to know when the xml has changed so that the column series can be
created and the chart updated.
 
In your example below, does the buildJobsTree just manipulate the data
or does it actually do something to the view ?

Why not define an as class for your model (if you aren't already), and
define a separate variable that you can populate on the other data being
set?

The snippet I posted is from something I've done that looks like
this

public function set jobs (data:ArrayCollection  )
: void 
{
_jobs = data;
buildJobsTree(_jobs);
} 

Not sure if its the best option.. but it certainly works for me.

Either that, or there are some observer classes from Adobe Consulting
that allow you to watch changes to your model from the UI.

Cheers
Gareth.

Hi Grant
Can't you use a binding function? 

dataProvider="{ massageData( ModelLocator.getInstance().myData ) }"

Cheers
Ralf.

Either that, or there are some observer classes from Adobe

RE: [flexcoders] observing a model change in cairngorm

[Grant Davies]

gareth,
 
thanks for the response... I think my concern is poluting the model with
view specific data...  
 
The results of a command is xml and this is set in the model which is an
as class (VisitorModel) ,  the chart bound to the model via its data
provider.
 
when the app first starts up, I don't have any xml, a user picks a date
range, I hit a web service and get valid xml back, then  the chart has
to has create a column series based on some labels in the xml,  so I
need to know when the xml has changed so that the column series can be
created and the chart updated.
 
In your example below, does the buildJobsTree just manipulate the data
or does it actually do something to the view ?
 
Grant

[flexcoders] preloader or viewstate while charts initiailize

I need to display something while my charts are loading in a dashboard
style interface where different things are initializing at different
times, I wondered how people where showing this "busy" state, use a
viewstate to switch between the charrt and another state with the
animation, is there something built into the graph ?  In flash I would
have overlayed an invisible button to act as a modal with an animation

It appears that I unchecked "Spell check" on my brain, "Copy" vs "Coy"
anyway, I thought that I'd also note that I tend to layout my
projects like this...

build <--- or bin or web if that is what your convention is
src
-java
-flex
-conf
build.xml
... any other project files that should not be checked into svn.

I then tell Flex Builder to not copy non-embedded files, because I
will keep those in my build folder. In some cases I'll put them in a
web folder and then have ant or maven copy the web files to the build
folder or war file. These build processes can get pretty complex and
it really pays to think about it early on. I've had my fair share of
poorly laid out project folders, in fact I'm working with one right now.

RE: [flexcoders] svn and flex not getting along

[Grant Davies]

Hi Scott,
 
I have to include the bin folder since we have a lot of php in there,
I've stopped source controlling the html-template folder, but it appears
that flex is copying stuff from my project folder into the bin folder
still
 
my project folder is
 
_svn
/com
/.project
/html-template
/main.mxml
 
etc..
 
and flex appears to copy into my bin folder
 
com
 
so of course SVN gets confused since I have another com folder from my
dev folder copied into my bin folder with its _svn folder intact...
 
 
so I need to completely remove the _svn folder from my root dev folder
so its not source controlled and flex won't mess with it ?

You have html-template in version control? I don't include that or any
of the eclipse/flex files (.project, etc.) - and no problems, here. I
also don't include the /bin folder, until I create custom files, such as
index.html, js, css (html), etc...

RE: [flexcoders] Flex app doesn't launch in regular flash player 9

[Grant Davies]

We have express install enabled and the client may be running any version of 
flash... but I'm pretty sure they are running flash 8 or 9.  I'll get the real 
version shortly..
 
right now they get a blank screen.
 
So with flash 8 they could get a blank screen even though express install is 
enabled ?

RE: [flexcoders] runtime configuration

yeah, that just seems a bit "re-invent the wheel" since you come up with your 
own xml format, then a helper class to get the data and also something thats 
environment aware (prod,test.qa etc) via a configmanager like..
 
 
ConfigurationManager.getProperty("pizzaService");
 
I was just hoping there was something already built.. I'll use the XML service..

I compile on my dev box and then upload it to a completely different

Isn't a problem due to the fp9

It's simple, just clean up your cache browser and when you compile the
flex app you make sure that you closed the test app before you complete
compile.

[flexcoders] compiled swf does not show changes

[Grant Davies]

Hi guys, this is a little OT as it more the tool than a code question
but we keep running into this issue.
 
We compile on windows using the flex ide, and sometimes I'll change an
mxml file, save it and it builds but the change is not seen in the
browser.  I've got caching disabled and we've tested in both firefox and
IE.  We have to backup the project, delete it and then re-add it to
eclipse and then it starts working ok again..
 
I removed all the componets from main.mxml and compiled it and it still
showed "stale" components.  Even running it through the debugger...
 
its driving me nuts, has anyone else seen this (flex builder version
2.0.1)

This code populates a Tree just fine:

 

But when I do this: Alert.show(all_samples.length.toString());  

It's showing the size as 0.  I can't seem to interact with the data at
all.  I also tried an arraycollection and I'm making sure I set it after
I send() the HTTPService request.

These also don't work:

new ArrayCollection(display_samples.lastResult.sample)

display_samples.lastResult.sample as ArrayCollection

Any ideas?

that adds a mouseUp listener/handler for the whole app, eh?  How do I

What I have is this screen snap
http://www.cubicleman.com/snaps/snap.png
<http://www.cubicleman.com/snaps/snap.png> 
I have mouseDown capture on the bluish color box that allows me to drag
it left/right and to shrink/expand the length of it while holding the
mouse button down on it.  Now, if the user is holding the mouse button
down and accidentally moves the mouse off of the bluish box and then
lets the mouse button go, I want to fire a event then that executes a
method inside the component representing the bluish box.  

Starting to think maybe just fire the mouseOut event and ignore this
possible user accident!

RE: [flexcoders] Transforming XML for graphs and datagrids

[Grant Davies]

I created a simple example...
 
if you wanted to populate a grid using the following xml :
 
http://www.bluetube.com/temp/data.xml
 
 
and you wanted a grid that said
 
Date fruit1 fruit2 fruit 3
 
 Jan-03200781225971161280

 

etc... what is the most efficient way of doing it?  Right now I'd take
the xml and process it into a new array of objects like :

 

object:Object = { date:theDate, fruit1:fruit[0], fruit2:fruit[1],
fruit3:fruit[2] };

And this sucks when you use more complex xml.

Hey guys,
 
We just spent some time writing e4x code to take the contents of an XML

The examples for data binding from the flex help and online are always
the picture perfect XML that was designed specifically for the grid or

need it.
 
 
 
The XML we consume looks like this :

What I need to do is plot the time/date and then the 5 rates in a graph,
the rates are just a count at that timestamp.
 
What I'm having to do right now is take the xml and translate it into an
arrayCollection of objects each object has
 
class SeriesData
{
   timeStamp:String;
   rate1:String;
rate2:String;
rate3:String;
rate4:String;
rate5:String;
 
}
 
So in my graph I then plot each rate as a series


 


   

 
I've got about 8 lines of code to take the data, put it into objects
then stuff it into an arraylist for the graph to consume, I'd rather be
taking the xml directly to the graph.
 
 
what I really want to do is take the xml piece

[flexcoders] Transforming XML for graphs and datagrids

[Grant Davies]

Hey guys,
 
We just spent some time writing e4x code to take the contents of an XML
response and transform it into something my grid/graph can use and I'm
sure we are making this much harder than it needs to be...
 
The examples for data binding from the flex help and online are always
the picture perfect XML that was designed specifically for the grid or
graph example, where as in the real world the XML is never quite how you
need it.
 
 
 
The XML we consume looks like this :

What I need to do is plot the time/date and then the 5 rates in a graph,
the rates are just a count at that timestamp.

arrayCollection of objects each object has

RE: [flexcoders] CANNOT embed arrayCollection inside valueObject ... Anyone see this? (Pete Farland)?

[Grant Davies]

It looks like the java classes that are a cone of the the flex classes
are not on the classpath in Weblogic.  I have not deployed FDS to
Weblogic, I use openAMF but that type of error looks like Weblogic can't
load the java class that represents the ArrayCollection under the flex
package, check your classpath on Weblogic.

This seems to be specific to a WebLogic server.

When a valueObject, containing a property as an arrayCollection, is
passed
to the server, we get the following error:

error unmarshalling arguments; nested exception is:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: flex.messaging.io.ArrayCollection:
This
error could indicate that a component was deployed on a cluster member
but
not other members of that cluster. Make sure that any component deployed
on
a server that is part of a cluster is also deployed on all other members
of
that cluster.

This does not happen testing locally on JRun.

Ideas anyone?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Newbie asks why Flex?

[Grant Davies]

I've done user interfaces in C, C++, C#, Pascal, Java (its its 20
million gui frameworks), .NET, VB etc.. etc..
 
I started programming GUI's in flash about 3 or 4 years ago, and still
doing my backend development in java, .net or php.  Flash gives me the
user experience I'm after, the rich, cool looking user interface that
allows me to create on line applications, instead of websites that are
inferior to desktop apps when built in html.
 
AJAX is lipstick on the pig, its still ugly as hell under the covers,
hard to debug and doesn't run consistently across browsers.  I
personally dislike it with a vengeance, updating div tags on the fly is
once of the lamest solutions to a rich UI I've ever seen.
 
Flex is flash with a strong architecture, a stronger language (as3), a
traditional programming environment (similar to jsp or asp.net
development) and a very rich suite of controls, its aimed at programmers
and its easier to learn than the flash IDE since is similar to other
language development environments.
 
for graphics heavy apps I'll probably still use flash, for online data
centric applications I'll use flex, and use flash for the fancier
components that need fancy graphics or effects.  I personally can't wait
for the flex component explosion that happened to VB and will happen to
flex..
 
Flex will reduce my flash development cycle for real applications by
about 30% since I won't have to keep building all my own components.
 
Cheers,
Grant

 Hi all,

I'm working on flex application using the cairngorm framework and I ask
myself if commands should call other commands.

E.g. another event is triggered in the result method of the command.
Note that I actually run in this problem when I try to handle my client
application logic, not for server requests. 

I started sending new cairngorm events in the on result method of my
commands but actually I find this approach rather messy.

Should I dispatch all events in my views? That however means that my
views are handling some of my application logic. I think they are not
supposed to do that...

Or should I create a new form commands that only manage other commands?
That would add another level of complexity though ...

Hi Grant,

What you can do is use the BitMapData class to capture an image of any
part of a Flex 
application and encode into a PNG. Then send that data to your server
and write it to PDF.

RE: [flexcoders] Need advice on which Event I should be using -

[Grant Davies]

Personally instead of directly binding to the Array collection inside
the model for your data grid, I'd register the parent the grid belongs
to to the event that will fire based on a change in the model and inside
that event I'd populate your data grid with the contents of the model
and scroll it to the top.
 
I think binding data directly to your models has some advantages but it
also has some pitfalls when you want to do more than just bind to data,
its also hell to debug. Jesse Warden has a good example of binding in
the trenches - >

you can do away with the conventional [bindable]
metatag for binding your dataprovider and use
getter-setter instead with a custom flexevent
triggered everytime the setter is called.

or just use the valuecommit event. just make sure you
dont include another value-commit-triggering action
(such as setting another data provider) in the
listener.

[flexcoders] UHandled status even on local connection

[Grant Davies]

Hi guys,
 
I have a flash 8 swf I'm loading into my flex app using SWFLoader (its a
mapping component written in flash8), The application crates a local
connection called "mapContainerConnection".  In flex I setup the
connection:
 
toFlash_lc = new LocalConnection(); 
toFlash_lc.send("mapContainerConnection", "processFlexCall"); 
 
When I run the test in the browser I get an error :
 
Error #2044: Unhandled StatusEvent:. level=error, code=
 
I tried wrapping the send call with an exception handler but get the
same error message written to my error log.
 
Anyone have any ideas ?
 
Cheers.
