The VO is just a name in the end... you can label a class with VO or not it is how you use it what matters. You can transport data with VO objects (classes with no methods) and put it inside other model classes (put a clone method inside that class to move data from VO). But in many cases this is not justified. For example you want to login, you get the username and pass form the textfield inside a VO. Attach that VO as a payload to the cairngorm event and send it to the server via command/delegate etc ... That is a case where you just transport data ... no need ot store it in the model ...

I am still confused about how to make an event come through to an inherited class. For example, in Container.as there is a scroll event. Canvas directly extends Container.

RE: Re[flexcoders] moteObject endpoint= vs. Flex settings
To my knowledge, there is now benefit or detriment to doing it either way.
I do the same thing and I know other people who do also. I actually find it
easier to deploy this way because I always have some kind of config xml file
that loads at startup which contains things like the domain and endpoint in
it. That way, when I deploy an app, the only thing I need to worry about
changing is the config file. I don't spend a bunch of time trying to figure

Primarily because I cannot seem to understand the CF Root Folder / Webroot /

the endpoint property in RemoteObject as follows:

endpoint=http://174.1.159.113:8500/flex2gateway/;

What is the downside of this??? I assume if the CF-Flex settings are set
properly then flex uses those to set the endpoint so in theory the
benefit would be not having to enter endpoint in each time (in which case I
actually prefer the verbiosity of the above method) but is there any other
reason/benefit to either not using the endpoint OR to setting up the CF-Flex
link??

The reason to use wav files instead of mp3s is quality. If you are building any sort of sound editing or mixing program; that higher quality counts for a lot. Converting to mp3 for distribution often makes a lot of sense; although there are sometimes business reasons for not distributing mp3s commercially. For The Flex Show, we take wav files, edit them, and turn them into mp3 for distribution. It works quite well and gives us better quality than we'd have starting w/ an mp3. Krunal, As best I know, if you want to play wav files in Flex you are stuck writing your own codec. If you Google around, I have seen projects that can get Ogg Vorbis files to play.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Charting dataFunction issues
Can you try removing some of those series to isolate the problem?
Also, can we see the console output from the trace statements in
seriesDataFunction?
Maybe the values are out of bounds? Some sample data would be useful
too if that's possible.
2009/6/12 Jake Churchill j...@cfwebtools.com:
Charting people, please help!
Im using examples right out of Adobes guides and several other guides
Ive
found online on how to use a series dataFunction. The issue is that when
I
try to use the dataFunction, I get nothing. The Series doesnt display at
all. When I go back to using yField, everything is fine. Below is the
MXML
for the chart and series. The dataprovider is an ArrayCollection of VOs
with the following properties:
public var ceiling:Number;
public var costOfProd:Number;
public var cropProfileID:Number;
public var floor:Number;
public var historyDt:Date;
public var insGuarantee:Number;
public var revenue:Number;
Here is the dataFunction that Im using (straight out of an example from
http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2008/08/charting-example.html) which I
changed
to work with my data:
public function seriesDataFunction( series:Series,
item:UserRevenueHistoryVO, fieldName:String ):Object
{
var returnValue:Object = null;
switch( fieldName )
{
case xValue:
returnValue =
item.historyDt;
break;
case yValue:
returnValue = 25;
break;
case minValue:
returnValue =
item.ceiling;
break;
}
trace(fieldName + + returnValue);
return returnValue;
}
Finally, heres the chart code. The Line Series work fine because Im
using
yField. If I switch the AreaSeries to yField instead of dataFunction,
they
work as well but I need to do some work with the ceiling data in this
case.

RE: [flexcoders] URL pound sign questions
Why not use some kind of SES URL parser like Ionic or apache's mod_rewrite and strip that off. Or you could set up a 404 page that attempts to look up the user based on whatever is after the '/' and pass the corresponding user info to Flex.

addChild expects an mx.core.iUIComponent which Bitmap is not. You're data

You'll probably need to write a custom component that contains a public

[flexcoders] AIR Computer Locking
Anyone know how to recognize if a computer is locked or not (Windows XP) in AIR? I have an app that runs on the taskbar by the time. It periodically displays notifications which are placed at the bottom right of the screen. I get that position using Screen.mainScreen.visibleBounds. This works just fine when the computer is unlocked. However, when the computer is locked, the visibleBounds does not recognize the existence of the taskbar, so when I unlock the computer, half the notification is below the task bar.

RE: [flexcoders] dnd list items
http://www.axelscript.com/2008/03/26/creating-a-dragimage-from-your-uicomponent/
This is a blog post a friend of mine wrote about this. Specifically you want
this method:
public function getUIComponentBitmapData( target : UIComponent ) : BitmapData
{
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData( target.width, target.height
);
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
bd.draw( target, m );
return bd;
}
This gets bitmap data for whatever UIComponent you may be using for the
renderer. Then, here’s his function to initiate dragging:
private function doDrag(e:MouseEvent):void
{
//create an aliase for easier coding for the uicomponent
var target:UIComponent = e.currentTarget as UIComponent;
//http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=152558
var lvImageClone:Image = new Image();
lvImageClone.source = new
Bitmap(getUIComponentBitmapData(target));
var lvDragSource:DragSource = new DragSource();
lvDragSource.addData( target, items );
// Call the DragManager doDrag() method to start the drag.
DragManager.doDrag(target, lvDragSource, e, lvImageClone, 0, 0,
dragImageAlpha);
}
What is important here is the last line. DragManager.doDrag takes the alpha as
a parameter so you can have a fully transparent background. You’ll have to add
the border yourself.

Model object) would suffice. My understanding is that the Object
representation's deep structure references objects ByRef, but Transfer
Objects reference nonserializable/non-native objects by id. That is, if you

Hey Mike,
You'll see VO and DTO used interchangeably, I believe this is because
Cairngorm used to use Data Transfer Object and then switched to Value
Objects at some point.
That being said... this article gives a very basic example of passing data
to and from a server strictly typed, which is what you are trying to
accomplish.
http://flex.sys-con.com/node/505875 ( ick syscon... anyone know where the
real article is? )
The key is the using the [RemoteClass(alias=java.package.Class)], so that
when Flex serializes and de-serializes the object, it knows what
corresponding class on the server your object represents.
I seem to recall that when creating VOs (or DTOs) with a ColdFusion service,
you needed to add extra methods to assist in the serialization.
Maybe someone else add to this? I've been out of CF for a while now.

I've come via a MySql to CF to Flex learning path.
As such, 1.) my flex app uses mx:RemoteObject with source= pointing at a

2.) Said cfc calls a MySql STORED PROCEDURE which returns (say) a list of
owners (id, firstname, lastname, etc).
3.) CF passes this back to Flex (apparently in the form of an Object?).
4.) Flex then binds this returned data to a mx:DataGrid.
Now I've read extensively on VOs (as well as Cairngorm/MVC) yet don't fully
understand either the why or the how.
Assuming as basic an example as possible, I need to use AS3 to first define
then instantiate an ownerVO, then a function to populate the ownerVO with
the results of the RemoteObject then I populate the DataGrid with
ownerVOs
Comments and/or directions to appropriate learning resources appreciated.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: LineChart Magic
So I whipped out my wand and wrote a custom LineSegmentRenderer which
extends ShadowLineRenderer. I used updateDisplayList to loop through the
lineSeriesItems to draw my custom line.
What I'm charting is surgical cases by day in a given month. What I wanted
to show was a linechart that had weekends colored differently so we'd know
why the case counts plateaued. I feel like I've just done my first bit of
advanced coding in actionscript. I know this isn't very advanced, but
hopefully it will help someone else trying to achieve a similar effect. I've
left out some of the logic code, but you'll get the idea.
var items:Array = (data as LineSeriesSegment).items;
for (var i:int = 0; i items.length; i++)
{
// get the graphics object
var g:Graphics = graphics;
if (isWeekend)
{
// use weekend lineStyle
g.lineStyle(3, 0x99, 1);
}
else
{
// use the weekday lineStyle
g.lineStyle(2, 0xF2F2F2, 1);
}
// move to the starting point if we are at the first item
if (i==0)
g.moveTo(thisItem.x, thisItem.y);
// draw if we are not the last item
if (!lastItem)
{
g.lineTo(nextItem.x, nextItem.y);
}

RE: [flexcoders] Any ideas on how to embed a styleDeclaration swf compile time?
You wouldn't embed the SWF if you are loading it using StyleManager. The
Stylemanager makes an HTTP request for the compiled CSS file.
Here's an example of something that I did recently:
var o:Object = Application.application.parameters;
if( o.hasOwnProperty('sessionid') )
Model.instance.sessionID = o.sessionid;
if( o.hasOwnProperty('site_id') )
Model.instance.site_id = o.site_id;
if( o.hasOwnProperty('config') )
{
Model.instance.configFile = o.config + .xml;
Model.instance.styleDeclarations = o.config + .swf;
}
if( Model.instance.styleDeclarations )
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(path_to_your_compiled_css_swf+Model.ins
tance.styleDeclarations,true,true);
I load a config parameter in from FlashVars and based on that I load styles.
In order to compile the css to a SWF, just right click on it and select that
option.

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid highlight issues
Thanks for the reply. I was able to figure out what the problem was (at least what I think it was). The drawRowBackground method in the Datagrid class was somehow getting called twice after processing all the data that I mentioned. In the first call, it set the highlight color correctly for the selected rows. In the second call, it cleared the highlight colors out. Now, I'm stuck in Flex 2 for this project but I did some digging in the Flex 3 code (which is how I found this). I made some changes to the method from Flex 3 to make it compatible with Flex 2 and added some logic to simply grab the selectionColor and manually apply it in the rows with selected items. About your drawSelectionIndicator suggestion, it was being called and seemed to be working but the drawRowBackgrounds() method got called after that which somehow lost the selectionColor and cleared it out. Thanks for your help. I hopefully have a working solution now.

RE: [flexcoders] Call a Flex Function by Name
I would separate the classname out into another argument in your XML, so in
your example that's not working, you'd have:
menuitem id=OpenAlertsWindowMenuOption label=Open Alerts Window
callbackClass=ProjectProperties callback=setValue
arguments=ShowAlertsWindow, true /
Then you'd have to dynamically instantiate that class and call the assigned
method. I have a couple tutorials on my blog about doing this:
http://jake.cfwebtools.com/2009/04/08/dynamically-instantiate-a-class/
http://jake.cfwebtools.com/2009/05/15/flex-dynamic-casting-of-data/
The 2nd one deals with data casting which might not be as relevant but I
still do the class stuff dynamically. Here's an example of what this might
look like for you:
var className:Class = Class( getDefinitionByName( getQualifiedClassName(
ProjectProperties ) ) );
var function:Function = className[setValue];
function.call(className[or null], parmaters.);
FYI, this code is completely untested, just trying to give you an idea.

Subject: [flexcoders] Call a Flex Function by Name
I'm using a Menu control. Normally I'd catch the Menu's control event and
then act on whatever selection the user made with something like a switch
block.
But I wanted to see if I could be more clever and embed the function name
and parameters in the XML Menu data provider itself, like this:
mx:XML id=xmlFormMenuOptions
Menu id=MenuOptions
menuitem id=AddNewChartMenuOption label=Add Chart...
callback=AddNewChartButton_click arguments= /
menuitem id=RenameChartMenuOption label=Rename Chart...
callback=PopUpTextBox arguments=RenameChart, RenameChartButtonTextBox,
{nameChartSelected} enabled={selectedChartingPanelTableCell} /
menuitem id=DeleteChartMenuOption label=Delete Chart
callback=PopUpCheckBox arguments=DeleteChart, DeleteChartButtonCheckBox
enabled={selectedChartingPanelTableCell} /
menuitem id=RaiseChartOrderMenuOption label=Raise Chart Order
callback=RaiseChartOrderButton_click arguments=
enabled={RaiseChartOrderButton.enabled} /
menuitem id=LowerChartOrderMenuOption label=Lower Chart Order
callback=LowerChartOrderButton_click arguments=
enabled={LowerChartOrderButton.enabled} /
menuitem id=OpenAlertsWindowMenuOption label=Open Alerts Window
callback=ProjectProperties.setValue arguments=ShowAlertsWindow, true /
menuitem id=ChartingPanelWhatAmIMenuOption label=What am I?
callback=PopUpMessage arguments=ChartingPanelWhatAmIMenuOption, null /
menuitem id=HelpMenuOption label=Help callback= /
/Menu
/mx:XML
If you look at each menuitem/ you'll see a 'callback' attribute and an
'arguments' attribute. The arguments are comma-delineated that I need to
parse into an Array and scrub: for example, by converting string references
into real ones like this:
if( this.hasOwnProperty(arg) )
arrayArguments[i] = this[arg];
I then have been successful in using the callLater function like this:
callLater(this[callback], arrayArguments);
So far so good - it works great!
But I've hit a tiny snag. If the function is in a foreign class then
everything falls apart. For example, this won't work:
callback = ProjectProperties.setValue
arguments = ShowAlertsWindow, true
Because there is no such thing as this[ProjectProperties.setValue] the
callLater function can't handle it. I can easily build a little stub but I'm
hoping to keep things clean and elegant.
I've been searching for a way to call-by-name in Flex but haven't found one
(except for callLater). Is there a way I can do this?

Hi everyone, if I have an array as
var boxSize:Array = new Array(25, 45, 32, 70, 50, 46, 80, 10);
Is there a function that will return me the smallest value within that

Send your remote object's result to a function and then set your
dataprovider. This will allow you to debug it and find out what is being
returned.

I cant find a good example of how to create a remoteObject in ActionScript.
All the examples seem to be way more complicated than I need and I cant
follow what they are doing. On top of that, they don't cover the parameters
that I need. I've also looked through 5 books. ActionScript books dont cover
it and flex books do it via mxml! All I need to do is recreate the
mxml:RemoteObject in Actionscript. This is a very simple connection via CF.

Re: [flexcoders] Number of connexions
It'd be based on the number of simultaneous connections allowed by the web server. The SWF is downloaded to the client's computer. Same with remoting calls. Connections generally don't last very long but it should be limited by the web server's connection settings.

the space is probably caused by the default horizontal spacing in the HBox. Take that down to 0 and it'll probably work fine. Darrin Kay wrote: Ok I am stuck and I am sure it is simple.

Re: [flexcoders] try, catch, finally ...
I use try-catch but rarely do I find a need for finally. Finally is optional and it is only needed if you absolutely need some piece of code to run regardless of whether the code hits the try or the catch. Personally, I feel like try/catch blocks are just good practice. Maybe it was only the finally that was giving you trouble. Hard to say without the code. -Jake SJF wrote: Technically, it's good practice/professional to use try-catch-finally blocks in your actionscript logic. This ensures a robust, easily debugg-able application. However, can anyone comment if they actually use try-catch-finally or whether anyone is for or against it's use. I ask because I've received an application (which streams vidoe) that was blowing out numerous users CPUs to 100%. Upon further investigation, it appears that a netstream event is firing 20 times a second, and within the listener (listener function that is) for the event, there is a try-catch-finally block. I removed the try-catch-finally and CPU usage halved on my machine. Anyone care to comment for or against try-catch-finally and it's use. Steve.
Re: [flexcoders] Another on try-catch-finally ...
No, the try/catch block is a good thing. I'm not sure what
updateListArray() does but there is always a potential for an error.
What if bPollingDatabase is not yet created, then an error will be
thrown. The empty catch simply means that IF an error happens, nothing
special is done to correct it.
SJF wrote:
I have a head-cold (hence the possibly obvious answer to this
question) and a block of code as such:
function checkResponder(e:Event = null):void
{
try
{
bPollingDatabase = true;
updateListArray();
}
catch (err:Error)
{
//
}
}
Now considering there is no code in the 'catch' block, there can be
absolutely no benefit whatsoever to using try-catch-finally in the
above instance.
Is this correct?
Re: [flexcoders] Air upload - File IO Error - port issue
Looks like the server might not be set to listen on port 80 if it's not working in the browser either. It is possible to do port forwarding at the domain level so maybe port 80 is somewhere being forwarded and is actually hitting another port on the server. If that's not the case then you've stumped me too :) moyosaned wrote: While uploading a file with File.upload I'm getting a 400 bad request. Now sniffing the activity, it show it's going to www.myserver.com:80/upload.php Now throwing this (www.myserver.com:80/upload.php) in the browser gives a not found and using www.myserver.com/upload.php will give me the feedback I need.

You might be able to use flash.utils.describeType() to get at the properties of the AC if you don't know them.
