RE: [flexcoders] Help to create an object instance dynamically
Title: Help to create an object instance dynamically Hi Michel, Are you referencing this class elsewhere? If not, you need to in order for flex to compile it. A simple reference like: com.datasul.framework.custom.view.LoanForm; Might do the trick. Not sure about the rest of the code. You might want to try using eval() to get a reference to the class.

I'm trying to get a component instance using the following: var workspace:Workspace = Workspace.getInstance(); var name:String = "com.datasul.framework.custom.view.LoanForm"; var type:Function = ClassUtil.findClass(name); wkt = Workspace.getInstance(); wkt.createChild(type,name); Where: - Workspace: is an object extending mx.containers.Canvas; I suppose that retriving an Object using ClassUtil I would get an object instance. But it doesn't work in this fashion. So, I still tried to use wkt.createChild(type.call(),name), however no success. Did anybody has an idea to create my object dynamically and add it to a container ?

Flex/Flash's ActionScript is very mature compared to what I expected it to be, and I've been able to employ most of the design patterns and approaches that I typically use in other, more complex languages. There are a few hang-ups with the fact that, for example, WebService objects need to be declared statically, outside of ActionScript (which was frustrating), but it's nothing that can't be dealt with and worked around.

[flexcoders] Cyclical reference error
Hello, We’ve been getting a strange error recently When compiling for the first time after starting JRUN / Flex, we get an error similar to: Cyclical reference to class…. Two MXML Files cannot reference each other as child tags. As far as I can tell, no MXML files are referencing each other. The really strange thing is that we are able to correct the issue by commenting out the MXML for the “offending” class, compiling, and then uncommenting and compiling again. Flex doesn’t complain at all and compiles fine until the next time we restart the server. Has anyone experienced this? Is there anything that could be causing this or that can be done about it? Best.

Re: [flexcoders] FLEX2: Date Cell Renderer
In Flex 2, the cell render API is totally different. For one thing,
setValue() is no longer used. For another thing, a cell render is
passed a "dataObject" (or something like that) value, which contains
the data to be rendered. All of the examples I've seen thus far are
straight MXML, and most are rendered inline, so you might want to try
heading in that direction.

[flexcoders] Licensing and dev server compilation
Hello all, We have a client who has a Flex license for their server. We only wish for the compiled SWF to be deployed on their server, so they don’t have access to the MXML / AS source files. My question is: is there a way to compile our application on either a) our unlicensed development server or b) a development server using their license code (so there would at some times be multiple servers running the same license)? We are trying to avoid uploading source to their server for compilation.

[flexcoders] Case insensitive sorting on DataGrid
Hi, I’m sure that this must have come up a million times before, but I couldn’t find anything on the issue so I thought I’d ask here. Has anyone come up with a good way to do case insensitive sorting in a DataGrid? Is creating a hidden column for each sortable value the way to go? Perhaps a custom sort method? I understand there are some performance issues with the Flash Player’s string sorting, so I’d like to learn the most efficient way of handling this.

[flexcoders] Java Pojo to AS pojo with ant
I’m looking to automatically generate actionscript pojos from java pojos (ejb3 annotations) using Ant. I saw the AS2vogenerator, but it was my understanding that was done in an IDE and was dependent on hbm files. Maybe I misunderstand the capabilities. On a related note, has anyone been able to generate DDL using the hibernate-tools ant task without having to list out all of the annotated classes in the hibernate.cfg.xml file? Seems like there should be a way to “pass in” the class files to the annotationconfiguration ant element, but after searching for a couple hours, I didn’t see that this was supported. Ideally, this should read from a “par” file and not really need the cfg.xml file (except for database dialect). While I’m asking for everything, does anyone else have some useful code generation tools (using ant) that they can share? Specifically, from an ejb3 annotated set of pojos, and a business service interface (ejb3 stateless session interface), I would like to: Generate DDL for any given database dialect Generate actionscript pojos from java pojos Generate server-side java business delegate (remote object) from a business service interface (ejb3 stateless session interface) Generate client-side actionscript business delegate from that same interface (for cairngorm framework) Again, I want to do this all from ant, not from an IDE. Maybe these are just a set of velocity templates? Any examples of these (and how to invoke in ant) would be great as I’d rather not have to learn the velocity template language (yet!).

[flexcoders] gathering ActionScript object references
Hello all,
If someone can figure this out, it'd make my day. Here's what we'd like to do:
We have an object A, which is an ActionScript object created on the
client. In our application, we have at least two references to object
A. Using one of the references, we send object A back to the middle
tier, where it is serialized into a Java object, some operations are
done (persistence related, like inserting into a DB and assigning a
primary key), and object A is sent back to the client as object B,
possibly with updates. When we receive it, we'd like to replace object
A with object B. That is, we'd like to have all the former references
to object A now point to object B. Since we only know about one of the
references to object A, we want to use that reference to get all the
references to object A and update them accordingly. So, in made up
code, that would look something like this:
function updateReferences( refToA : Object, refToB : Object) {
var allRefsToA : Array = refToA.getAllReferencesToObject();
// made-up part
for(var i = 0; i < allRefsToA.length; i++) {
allRefsToA[i] = refToB;
}
}
Does that make sense? Is there anything which we can do to simulate
the imaginary "getAllReferencesToObject" function?
---
(The rest is just explanation as to why we're not taking an
alternative approach)
The reason why we want to do this, instead of simply copy all the
attributes out of object B and into object A, is because the object
heirarchy contains internal references back to the object which are
necessary for our persistence layer to figure our the proper
relationships. That is, our object A represents the parent in a
parent-child relationship and each child contains a references back to
the parent. Here's an ASCII representation (omitting the
non-problematic attributes of A):
A
|
anArrayOfAChildren
| | |
cA1 cA2 cA3
| | |
A AA
And object B is essentially a copy of this object model, but with B's
instead of A's. What we have done in the past (and recently discovered
to be incorrect) is something like
function mergePersistenceChanges ( refToA : Object, refToB : Object) {
for(var i in refToB) {
refToA[i] = refToB[i];
}
}
Which produces mostly what we want (all of the updated information is
copied correctly), but in the case of our back-references, it produces
an incorrect result like this:
A
|
anArrayOfBChildren
| | |
cB1 cB2cB3
| | |
B BB
This causes future updates of attributes in object A not to be
reflected in the childrean objects which is our problem. Is
someone is able to suggest a solution, or a way to implement the
proposed solution above? Thanks so much.

Re: [flexcoders] gathering ActionScript object references
Thanks Martin. I think I see what you're saying, but unfortunately, I don't think proxying is a viable option: we have somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 model classes (many of which have this type of cyclic relationship) and we're trying to implement a generic solution, so we'd have to implement a proxy for each of these model classes. Even if we can up with a generic ModelProxy class, we'd have to refactor all of the model touchpoints in our application which would essentially amount to a rewrite. If we can't come up with a solution, what we'll have to end up doing is actually requerying all of the data after we save it in order to repopulate the model with the sequence-based primary keys and such. However, this is an ugly solution, and I'd like to be to update the model when we save. Thanks again, but any other suggestions?

On 12/22/05, Matt Chotin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Are there other developers out here who've been building apps that need > to work in multiple timezones (or store their dates in GMT but work in > another)? I know I've answered some issues before in the past, if > anyone wants to speak up ;-) We have a similar but slightly different use-case (and unresolved problem, for that matter): Our clients will be all over the world and will be sending dates back to our database via RemoteObject calls. When the date object is serialized, Flex automatically takes care of updating the time zone information. However, this is actually *not* what we want to happen because we are sending back dates with 00:00:00 timestamps (i.e. no time information). However, when this information crosses timezones during serialization, 00:00:00 becomes a time (midnight), which is then offset according to the timezone difference, and the date possibly becomes a day off. E.g. a date of 25-Dec-2005 00:00:00 GMT on the client becomes 24-Dec-2005 17:00:00 EST in the database. And those of us who celebrate Christmas know that 24-Dec != 25-Dec If there was a way that we could configure our clients to work in the same timezone as our server, then we'd be all set. Alternatively, if we could configure serialization to ignore timezone information then our dates wouldn't be corrupted. Maybe there is already an easy solution. I haven't had a chance to dig into the problem too much. But any suggestions are appreciated. Jim Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Fair play? Video games influencing politics.

[flexcoders] Remote Object/Spring Beans
If I were to go down the path of using remote object access
and wanted to use Spring beans on the back end for service implementation,
would I still need to have a thin layer/delegate to get to the Spring bean? (I’m
assuming this will make sense to some of the J2EE guys out there).
For example (ignoring obvious syntax and casting problems):
// Flex calls “delegate” remote object,
doSomething method
// RemoteObject = Delegate.java
// ServiceBean = POJO with Spring id = “someSpringBean”
Public class delegate
{
Public
void doSomething()
{
beanFactory.getBean(“someSpringBean”).doSomething();
}
}
Just wondering whether there’s a work-around (or code
generator) so that I don’t have to duplicate every method in my “someSpringBean”
in the thin delegate layer.
Thanks,
Jim

Re: [flexcoders] Datagrid Validation/Restriction
On 5/10/05, beckpvt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Moreover, is it possible to restrict data > inside a cell - only numbers, for example? It is possible, and actually pretty easy. You usually want to set such properties at the column level, so all the ways I've seen such a thing done uses a subclass of DataGridColumn to store the "restrict" and "maxChars" properties. These properties must then be set on the cellEditor (which is a TextInput and supports all the same properties as a TextInput). If you're willing to use a subclass of the DataGrid, then you can overload the setFocusedCell() function to read restrict and maxChars from the appropriate column and set them on the cellEditor. Alternatively, you could set these properties using an event listener on cellFocusIn ... in which case you don't have to use a subclassed DataGrid ... just do "dg.cellEditor.restrict = (whatever)" and "dg.cellEditor.maxChars= (whatever)" ... a little more wiring is involved, so if you're going to be doing a lot of this, I recommend the subclassed DataGrid approach.

Re: [flexcoders] How to render cell to be in edit mode dynamically through cell renderer
Hey Pradeep,
I've done this very thing using the date field as a cell renderer, so
it is possible, but I did it using a subclass of the DataGrid instead
of event listeners. Using event listeners instead is an interesting
approach, and if you can get it to work, would be superior to using a
subclass.
One thing to try: There is a boolean isCellEditor that the DataGrid
looks for in a cell renderer to decide if it should create a TextInput
cell editor or not. Try including a line like:
var isCellEditor : Boolean = true;
Using the subclassed datagrid approach, I've already posted some
sample code that does this with a combo box instead of a date field.
Check out the following message:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/14768. E-mail me off
list if you want the code for the Date Field cell renderer.

Re: [flexcoders] Custom Datagrid (like Excel)
Hey Beck, I've done exactly what you're looking for (plus a lot of other stuff you might not want), through digging into the DataGrid code and creating a subclass.

Re: [flexcoders] Refresh grid after bound data changes...
You could do "grid.executeBindings();" on the "change" or the "valueCommitted" events of the TextInput. Change is fired every time text is typed in the TextInput, so you might want to use valueCommitted for performance reasons.

[flexcoders] BubbleChart: Multiple Bubble Colors and Axis Formatting
Hello all, This shouldn't be too difficult, but I haven't had much experience with Flex charts, so the answer isn't apparent to me: I'd like to have a BubbleChart which has a single BubbleSeries (see below). However, I'd like each bubble in the series to be a different color based on a varying attribute (in the example below, the attribute would be discipline_id). So, in the example below, all 3 bubbles are currently the default orange color, but I'd like them to be red, blue, green (and so on, for any number of data records/disciplines). I'd also like to have a legend which displays the mapping between the discipline_id attribute and the bubble color. Finally, I'd like to format the chart so that the axis lines corresponding to x == 1 and y == 1 are bold. Essentially, this chart should be a four-quadrant chart with an origin of (1,1). If anyone can point me in the right direction toward accomplishing any of these goals, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Datagrid Oddity
I've had this happen with cell renderers as well (not using FP8). My issue stemed from the fact that the DataGrid was being created before the dataProvider was populated. When the dataProvider is populated, the setValue function of each cell renderer is not called. Only when the user scrolls over the cell is setValue called and the appropriate data shown. In my case, I solved the issue by making sure that the DataGrid wasn't created until after the model was populated. You might have some other options (e.g. calling setValue for all the cell renderers programmatically on the modelChanged event), but my solution was the simplest for my situation. Hope that helps, Jim On 7/22/05, Stacy Young <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I've got a column that's using a labelFunction to format a date.

RE: [flexcoders] Combining graphic and programmatic themes - a better way?
Brian, thanks for the response. I found that in “About theme limitations” at http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flex_Documentation&file=0577.htm I tried adding the skin through Flash authoring by attaching the class to a symbol in the usual way, but it did not work out. I got some compiler errors (since I was referencing some container classes that aren’t included in the flexforflash library) and ran SWCRepair, but the theme didn’t take effect. Flash also generated a ton of ASI’s for every dependent class of the class I subclassed, increasing the swc file size pretty dramatically. I’m not sure if exclude.xml will work when exporting a component, or if there might be a better way of accomplishing this. I later realized that simply referencing the class name anywhere in AS makes the theme work just fine, so this is a satisfactory solution for now. I assume I could add it to a RSL as well. How would one add the swf skin using compc? I didn’t spend much time on it, but I couldn’t find a way to add swf’s to swc’s using compc. Perhaps there is a way to add classes to an already created swc?

Hi Jim, that's a pretty interesting solution that technically should work, but the catalog.xml has many exceptions, caveats, and magical properties. I would suggest staying away from it if you can. Did you try just adding both the programmatic and graphical skins to the SWC (through compc or Flash Authoring)? I don't see any real reason why you cannot add both of these to a SWC file.

hitTest() and createClassObject()
Hey all,
I'm trying to make a custom component which dynamically changes it's
state/appearance. Actually, it's a cell renderer/cell editor which
works with our own version of dataGrid, and creates an additional
object/changes it appearance when the cell is focused in. To this end,
I've decided to create two functions - focusInCell() and
focusOutCell() which control the creation and destruction of the
appropriate part of the components (below is an example snippet from a
component using a comboBox). This all works great, except for the fact
that it seems the player doesn't always get the size of the movie clip
right: certain components (like dateFields which have the pull down
shown) fail on hitTest() when the should pass and other components
(like combo boxes) pass on hitTest() when the should fail i.e. the
following code confuses the player regarding its size after you open
and then close the combo box ... it seems the player thinks it takes
up the expanded size and not the now-collapsed size .
To be honest, I don't know that much about createClassObject of how
Flash manages sizes and movieClips, so I could be missing something
obvious. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Jim
function createChildren(Void) : Void {
super.createChildren();
createClassObject( Label, "comboLabel", 1, { styleName:this, owner:this } );

combo.selectedIndex =

__value));
combo.setStyle( "backgroundColor", getStyle( "selectionColor"));

[flexcoders] Newbie: Flash vs. Flex, CPUs, Lazslo
1. Could someone explain (or point me to a doc/faq) that tells me why I would choose Flex over Flash. What can Flex do that Flash can't? Even if it's more difficult in Flash, perhaps it's worth it given the cost of Flex. 2. Speaking of cost, I read on MM's site that they recommend a typical deployment of a Flex app have 6 - 8 CPUs. Is this true in practice? If I have an app that has 50 users (would grow to perhaps 10K users) who don't hit the system very hard, what are CPU requirements? Are there any performance benchmarks that I can use as a guideline for what I would need initially and at what point I would need to upgrade. As a small company, we can probably chew off $12K, $70K is another story (unless I misunderstand the licensing). 3. Has anyone had any real-world experience/lessons-learned with Laszlo and any comparisons with Flex? Thanks Jim Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Datagridcolumn sortCompareFunction
I've solved this problem in the past by using the sort() function of the Array class, which takes a compare function as its only argument. Assuming that you are using an array as the data provider of your grid, you can sort the array and then display the sorted data in the grid. You'll have to rig up some extra wiring if you want this to sort on a user action (e.g. clicking a column header). http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary068.html Jim On 5/4/05, Jeroen De Vos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > I'm writing a custom sort function that needs information from two colums to > do the sorting. > > Example: > The data is formed like this: > TYPENAME > a Test_1 > b Test_2 > a Test_3 > a Test_4 > b Test_5 > > The TYPE column is not shown in the datagrid, only the NAME column is > visible. > When sorting on the NAME column, the datagrid needs to take into account the > TYPE column so that the result of the sort is: > > TYPENAME > a Test_1 > a Test_3 > a Test_4 > b Test_2 > b Test_5 > So, first sort on TYPE and then sort on NAME. > > How do I do this? > Can I use the sortCompareFunction of the datagridcolumn for this?

Re: [flexcoders] Dynamically poplulating an editable DataGrid
Sorry for such a late reply, but I'm pretty sure this isn't a bug.
Your approach for adding a new row to the grid is slightly incorrect:
you're pushing the new object onto the data provider of the grid.
Instead, you should use the addItem method of the grid / dataProvider.
Doing this causes the "modelChanged" event to be fired, which the
DataGrid listens for internally and updates the grid accordingly.
Adding and removing columns makes the grid recreates the rows (via the
datagrid's initRows() function) while the modelChanged listener calls
the drawRow() method of each row. So they both fix the issue, but as
you said, the first is an ugly hack, and it might be slightly more
expensive (creating versus redrawing).
The code attached below seems to fix the issue (notice the last two
lines). Let me know for sure if this works for you.
Jim
// adds a new row to the data grid
function gridAddRow() {
// we need to generate the object with the correct cells
var newRow:Object = {};
// get the current column names
var aCols:Array = myDataGrid.columnNames;
// loop through the column names and create an empty cell
item for each
for (var i = 0; i < aCols.length; i++) { newRow[aCols[i]] = ""; }
// push the new row to the dataprovider
// gripDP.push(newRow);
myDataGrid.addItem(newRow);
}

Re: [flexcoders] Dynamically poplulating an editable DataGrid
Oh, sorry for the self reply, but I forgot to address the editing /
not showing up issue.
Try using undefined instead of empty string. The DataGrid replaces
undefined with single space (which can be a headache if you try and
cast to a number to return to your persistence layer ... don't get me
started ...). It's probably no different then just using a single
space, but I feel better about it on a purely emotional level :-)
The line is gridAddRow would then be:
for (var i = 0; i < aCols.length; i++) { newRow[aCols[i]] = undefined; }

I ran the code posted and the focus changed as it should from cell to cell. Can you make sure that the code you posted is identical to the code you are testing? If so, I guess we'll have to start comparing versions and setups, etc. The issue that the code posted *does* display is that the combo box does actually edit the data provider. This can likely be solved by overriding the editCell() function so that it actually gets the correct data from the cellEditor. Also, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? I may have a solution that might work for you (but implemented differently), so I'm interested in the requirements. Also, I'll have to ask my boss to make sure I can release the code. Jim Yahoo!

AHHH! Spoke too soon again! That's twice in one day ... I can, in
fact, replicate the problem. I did it wrong before
However, not only can I replicate your problem, I can also fix it
(this is a hack cause I did it quick, but you get the idea): Overload
the disposeEditor() function and make it destroy the dropdown movie
clip. See the code attached.
I'm still interested in what your requirements are cause my solution
might be more general, if it is applicable (the idea of removing the
combobox dropdown comes it ... via MM support).
Jim
function disposeEditor() : Void {
cellEditor.dropdown.removeMovieClip();
cellEditor.mask.removeMovieClip();
super.disposeEditor();

Re: [flexcoders] setFocus() on a TextInput
I think the right way to do this is to use the static Selection class, as in Selection.setFocus(feedURLText); and/or Selection.setSelection(0, feedURLText.length); .. not really sure. I do know that it's somewhat fickle so I had to just keep trying permutations till I got something to work.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DataGrid cell problem overriding setFocusedCell() method
I think I get it, and that seems like a good approach. Our approach is
a little different, but they definitely overlap in what they
accomplish:
On 5/10/05, bhaq1972 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
> I had a universal cellrenderer based on Ali's combobox cellrenderer

Exactly! This was the main thing we were trying to get around with our
implementation (which I refer to as "delayed cell renderer
instantiation"). As you probably know, the reason the basic cell
renderers are so sluggish to render is because every control is
created when the grid is created. So, if you have a grid with 20
cells, each containing a ComboBox, 20 ComboBoxes are being created
when the grid is created. This is in contrast to the behavior when
*not* using custom cell renderers, where 20 Labels are created when
the grid is created, and a single TextInput is created when a cell is
focused. So, why not mimic this behavior and create 20 Labels and
create a single ComboBox when a cell is focused? Of course, this is
what both of our approaches do, but in different ways.
We did this by extending the cell renderer API to include a few extra
hooks in our cell renderers: focusInCell() and focusOutCell(). These
two functions are called by our subclass of the DataGrid in
setFocusedCell() and disposeEditor(), respectivly. The crazy part is
that some of the other hooks we needed in our cell renderers are
already built-in to DataGrid (albeit undocumented). I'm speaking
specifically of the isCellEditor boolean and the getValue() function.
By setting this boolean to true and implementing the getValue()
function, our cell renderers work perfectly with the editCell()
function of the DataGrid, so we don't have to do any extra work there.
We've used this approach with both a ComboBox cell renderer and a
DataField cell renderer, and it works well and definitely speeds up
load time. There are still a few little oddities. The ComboBox
dropdown issue was one, although unlike your problem, we couldn't
actually "see" the dropdown, but it was there, and it was goofing
things up if you clicked where the drop down was. With our DateField
cell renderer, we had an issue with hitTest not recognizing when the
DateField was expanded. Also, there is a issue if you "refocus" a cell
too rapidly (which is why their is a delay built into setFocusedCell()
in our WGDataGrid)

I like the idea of passing parameters to the cell renderer via column
attributes ... currently we just use different cell renderers extended

This is something that I am interested in: Is it possible for you to
provide an example? Including some validation (at least with
TextInput) is something I'd like to do. In the little bit I've played
around with it, it seems that getting the validation message to show
up properly (just around the focused cell and not around the whole
grid) is a real pain ... this would definitely be useful in the
columns which represent required field.
Well, it's cool to hear how someone else approached a similar problem! Thanks!
