[flexcoders] hasAll property of OLAPHierarchy and OLAPDataGrid
Does anyone know what the hasAll property does? In the example it is alwasy set to true; in the doc is says that: Specifies whether the hierarchy has an all member, true, or not, false. If true, the all member name is as specified by the allMemberName property. However the data schema in the example does NOT have an All property. What does this do? (I am having troulbe getting 3+ dimensions to work with the OLAPDataGrid and I'm trying to get a deeper understanding of how it all works together). Thanks, ~harris
[flexcoders] Re: does FLEX2 support text direction right to left?
Mike... can you point to any of the suggested workarounds that Adobe has put forward?

This is an area where I have spent countless hours trying to work around. Flash player has absolutely no support for right to left natively. Further, while you can manually do *some* things to fix this, ultimately none of the text components (input, area, etc) allow editing in RTL. So, you can *display* RTL text, however, you can not actually edit it. Adobe has some suggestions for workarounds. However, they all require a significant amount of work and none can be accomplished directly in flash player in a real-time environment. Sorry. This is an issue which has been the subject of countless debates and is really limiting the ability to use Flash as a serious development platform for true international solutions.

[flexcoders] FDS Pain
Hi there. I am trying to use FDS to manage a collection tree nodes. The top-level collection that is managed by FDS contains all of the root nodes. I'd like for FDS to refresh the top-level collection of root nodes any time I insert a node into the tree, regardless of where in the hierarchy it falls. This turns out to be very difficult using FDS. Here is what I have tried: I tried turning off caching of the collection so that FDS would just refill the data whenever I call: DataServiceTransaction transasction = DataServiceTransaction.begin (null, false); transasction.refreshFill(DestinationNameHere, null); This doesn't work. When caching is turned off there is a strange dependency that I don't understand on the getItem method in my Assembler. If caching is not disabled, then FDS simply looks at the top-level nodes by their identity and doesn't notice any changes so it ignores new nodes added lower in the tree's hierarchy. I can't use the updateItem method call b/c I don't now which top- level node is being updated deep within the tree (and shouldn't need to do this just to get FDS to reload the tree data for any connected clients). I am starting to think it would be easier to write my own polling data service that does what I want myself and not even use FDS as currently FDS is making something very simply very hard. I hope someone proves me wrong!! :-) Any ideas here? Thanks, ~harris
[flexcoders] Re: FDS Pain
Thanks for the reply man. Unfortunately my object structure is already built to support the default TreeDataDescriptor (each node has a children property that itself is a collection of nodes). I'd like to have the tree completely refreshed any time I add a node to one of these children on the server. ~harris --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I use a simple ArrayCollection in cases like this, and provide a custom TreeDataDescriptor which converts a 1-dimentional array collection into something usable by the Tree component.

[flexcoders] FlexFactory/FDS Inconsistencies
Hi there. I am working on a FlexFactory implementation that is capable of creating objects that act as remote services. In the documentation it states that, Each factory instance can add configuration attributes that are used when that factory instance is defined, as the following example shows: destination id=myDestination properties sourcemypackage.MyRemoteClass/source factorymyFactoryId/factory myfactoryinstanceattribute myfoobar2value /myfactoryinstanceattribute /properties /destination However, adding an extra element to the properties element within remoting-config.xml causes Flex to chock in the initialization process when starting the server. Is is possible to get additional information into a FlexFactory to customize its implementation? I've looked in detail at the example that does this with Spring, but it doesn't take advantage of passing a custom value to the FlexFactory. I am trying to deploy this to Weblogic and create a FlexFactory that is capable of creating EJBs based on their JNDI name. thanks, ~harris
[flexcoders] Re: Some help with a concept im working with
If you are floundering in the deep end why don't you try breaking off a much smaller piece where your feet can still touch the ground. Going through some tutorials would likely be a good place to start. ~harris --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, flashman1357 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all! Firstly let me start off by saying my knowledge of flex is fairly limited - but my knowledge of flash and AS are as i would describe as intermediate/advanced. Before i get into it - i just want to make clear to everyone that, no - im not trying to phish for someone to do this for me, i very much would like to learn for myself, i just need direction! lol. So any thoughts, suggestions, tactics! i would greatly appreciate it all! I am trying to create an app for a community im involved with in which we produce a monthly eZine. We have a team of some 20-30 people working on different articles and content. What I am trying to accomplish is build a very superficial CMS in essence. An online app where firstly, the editor can specifiy the content for the upcomming month (i.e what needs to be done) the team members may then submit their articles and so forth for each section specified by the editor, and finally where I (the publisher in this case) can view each piece to finally compose a finished eZine. All this - each month! Here is a little of my thought proccess. Start with a Login screen. This is where i would split up the various roles, allowing access to different parts of the app depending on their role. The editor would be able to go the an admin section where, each month, she may specifiy which sections are going to be included this month. The team would be able login to see what needs to be done each month, sign up for it, do it, then submit it. And where the publisher can view what should basically be a summary of the content submitted both thus far, and finally. For the editor, I would have a list of all the possible sections that could be included at any given time. Beside which would be a panel with a list for what is to be included this month (i was thinking a drag and drop from the list of possibles, over to the list of to be included) once she is satisfied with the content she has layed out, she could hit save, and the list she dragged to (to be included) would be saved. Team members would then see a list on the left with all the sections needing to be done this month. Then some sort of system...be it color coded, tick box, something to allow people to see what is being done, whats completed, and what needs to yet be done, as well as what has/has not been proofed by the checkers (explain about them later). Perhaps when an item on the list is selected on the right it would load up a few things: at the top a tick box reading proof read (that only the checker role would be able to modify, but all could see) if no one is yet signed up to do the selected item, there would be a button they could sign up, which (based on their login name) would assing them to that article and the article would then only display who is doing it, not the button. and then a text box for copy/pasting or typing in the article, and a field for uploading images for the article. They could then save it. If the article has no one assigned to it, the text box would be greyed out, and if someone is viewing it that is not assigned to be doing it, they can only read - not modify. (unless they are a checker). Checkers would be able to modify all the articles, as well as sign off on the article, by ticking the check box (perhaps adding their name beside it so we know who proof read it, maybe not), as well as apply to do articles themselves. Publisher, would be able to login and have a summary button in which all the content is compiled into one long document broken down by headings so i know what is what, and can then bring into inDesign for publishing. Now, i know this is not a simple undertaking - and I have been fiddling with ideas and what not. I was toying with text files, or xml, all of which i have pretty much ruled out - not to mention the fact i have had no luck with roles and such with a login, other than by declairing simple if statements. Not ideal by any means. I have managed to get a simple upload script working - nothing exciting there, nor entirely usefull at this point. I am using this as a method for me to learn, becase i learn by jumping in at the deep end. And to be completly honest - up to this point i have been slightly regretting the afformentioned metophor. If anyone has any idea, or better yet! the drive and enthusiasm to team up with me on this, I couldnt be happier. Anything anyone can offer would be great! After all, im floundering here!

I'd like to lock the maximum size of a compoent. To do this I have set
both the width and height properties in the MXML file to 100%. If the
user then maximizes the browser the component will expand to fill the
new extra space. This is good.
Here is the rub. After the component reaches its maximum size I'd like
to lock the size so that if the user then clicks the Restore Down
broswer button to make the window smaller, then the scrollbars will kick
in and the size stays the same. Does this make sense? Basically I want
the width and height to be 100% until the browser is maximized, then I
want that size to be locked.
One solution I thought might work is overriding the updateDisplayList
function on my customized Canvas component like this:
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void
{
if( unscaledWidth width || unscaledHeight height )
return;
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
}
This didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks,
~harris

[flexcoders] Re: Locking the Max Size of a Component
Tim,
You are the man. Your solution works great. I had started thinking
that the answer lied in the minWidth/minHeight properties, but
hadn't even run across the resize event on the Application
container. SWEET!
Thanks again,
~harris
p.s. The one thing I did change was a simple null check at the
beginning of the lockCanvas function (I guess the resize event is
fired before all the components are constructed?) This seems weird,
but my canvas object was null when the function is first called.

Hi Harris,
You can acheive this similar to the following code. The canvas
(id=applicationCanvas) is originally set to a percentage-based
height
and width. When the browser is maximized, you can set the
minHeight and
minWidth to explicit values. This will replace the percentHeight
and
percentWidth propertes.
I hope that this helps you,
Tim Hoff

[flexcoders] Finding the Cursor Position in a RichTextEditor (Beta 2)
In vanilla Flash I could get the current cursor position via the Selection class, but this doesn't not appear to be available in Flex 2. The extensibility of the RichTextEditor control is severely compromised if there is not a way to get the current cursor position (and dynamically update the text). I know this information is available in the control since it is able to insert BOLD tags in the middle of the text. Is there an API for this? If not can we get one? Something like, richTextEditor.textArea.currentIndex would be valuable. ~harris --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Harris Reynolds [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a way to find the current position of the cursor on a RichTextEditor control?

[flexcoders] Updating HTTP Service Whitelist at Runtime
What would happen if you updated the whitelist for HTTP services within flex-config.xml at runtime? Would Flex notice the change and reload the configuration? This would be a very nice feature for building dynamic applications where users may want to add services on the fly. Of course this would require the service to provided structured information that the application could understand, but there are several uses for this even today.

RE: [flexcoders] Hibernate
Ryan, I'd suggest that you post some of your hibernate code here [1] with the same question. You'll get a lot better Hibernate support there. That said, one important thing to keep in mind from the Flex perspective is your service interface. You should design the integration point as a course-grained service that does as much work on the server as possible (instead of lots and lots of service calls, wrap all that logic behind one clean service point). This is a fairly well known pattern for web services. I have seen services before that exposed lots of CRUD/database operations that don't provide a clean layering in the application and caused serious pain when integrating with Flex (imagine lots of synchronous calls... possible, but painful). hope that helps, ~harris [1] http://forum.hibernate.org/ --- Ryan Scott Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Steve, Thanks for the help.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Calling Java Servlet
The fact that RemoteObject uses a servlet is an
implementation detail. You can see that it is by
looking at the [FLEX_APP]/WEB-INF/web.xml file in your
Flex application. It is the servlet named
AMFGatewayServlet.
With regard to your problem, depending on how your
code is factored, you may be able to use RemoteObject
out of the box. Typically you would surface a remote
object that provided a service In your case you
could create a Java object called JavaBeanService (or
whatever) and expose a method on it that returned all
your java beans.
The point here is that you don't need to muck around
with HTTP level stuff as is the case with your
servlet. Flex handles that using Flash remoting.
good luck,

I guess I am wondering why you want to invoke a
custom
servlet; it seems like you should be invoking the
remoting gateway servlet that ships with Flex and
automatically handles data (un)marshalling of java
objects for you. See the RemoteObject component
for
more information.
good luck,

If you are returning a chunck of XML one
simple
option
is to call your servlet using the HTTPService
Flex
control. Using this approach you can attach
the
result to a data provide and Flex will wire it
all
up
for you. An example of this can be found here
[1].
It uses a JSP page instead of a servlet, but
the
concept is the same.
Hope this helps,

RE: [flexcoders] Canvas Layout vs other Containers

The Canvas container allows controls to be placed anywhere in the container (absolute positioning), whereas containers like Panel and TitleWindow that provide a cool title don't seem to allow this. Is there anyway to configure a Panel or TitleWindow to allow absolute positioning (instead of vertical grid positioning)?? ~mh __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Question about do while loops
In general I use do-while loops only very rarely; as mentioned though the do while loop is not your problem. If you are trying to get a random number between certain numbers it should be a one line of code... are you doing something sophisticated that requires more than simply adjusting a call to Math.random? ~harris --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Are do while loops used a lot in Flex or are they generally avoided? I know that if you ask the computer to do a do while loop that never ends it will probably slow the computer down. But the loops I have tried to make have been very slow? What I have been trying to do is generate a random number over and over again until it meets a certain criteria. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
