[flexcoders] Cold fusion and Flex Remoting setup driving me nuts

[Joshua]

Hello,

I've been searching and searching for some consistent info regarding the 
complete setup required to get flex 3 to talk directly to a cfc on a REMOTE 
coldfusion server.  

I've got access to the coldfusion server admin.  

My problems.

1.  Where is the flex gateway specified (or flash)?  I see all these articles 
saying it's at www.mydomain.com/flex2gateway.  I have no idea how to verify 
that and when I do a remote call to it in flex it says

MessagingError message='Destination 'http://www.mydomain.com/flex2gateway/' 
either does not exist or the destination has no channels defined (and the 
application does not define any default channels.)']

2.  So, I couldn't find the default flex gateway so I created my own under the 
events gateway tab.  I gave it an id of flexRMS a type of CFML and pointed the 
cfc path to the cfc I want to call and set the config file to 
Coldfusion8/gateway/config/flex-data/management/gateway.cfg

I can't connect to that either

3.  If I could connect, which I can't, I need to point to a different 
components folder on the server that holds all the cfcs that I really need to 
invoke.

4.  So, I thought well maybe I need to configure my flex project and specify 
that I'm using Coldfusion as the server type.  I check Use Remote Object Access 
Service, then specify Coldfusion Flash Remoting Then I get to the page where 
I'm supposed to check between Coldfusion installation type, Standalone or 
Deployed to J2EE (I've got no idea what to do here) anything I check or fill 
out tells me that I've got no config files in the WEB-INF folder under flex 
when I click the validate Configuration.

Can somebody throw me a bone here.  Jeez

[flexcoders] Re: PopUpManager and FocusManager

[Joshua]

used callLater instead of waiting on the event to dispatch.  That worked

callLater(setNewFocus)

function setNewFocus():void {
focusManager.setFocus(this.augmentPackageForm.insuranceValue);
}

[flexcoders] PopUpManager and FocusManager

[Joshua]

This is driving me nuts.  I have a form that has several textInputs in it.  
When you tab out of a textInput and you have entered something that is not 
currently in the database I create a Popupwindow with another form in it so the 
user can add more details (Quick Add for Quickbooks style) about the new text 
entry.  I'm trying to get the form that is in the popupmanager to get the focus 
and it kinda works... meaning it looks like it has focus (blue box), but when I 
start typing I start filling out the next field in the original form (behind 
the popup).  I have the form component that 'pops up', implementing 
IFocusManagerContainer and have tried just about everything to get this to 
work.  

this.augmentPackageWindow = new TitleWindow;
this.augmentPackageForm = new IndivdualizePackageForm;  
this.augmentPackageWindow.addChild(this.augmentPackageForm);
this.augmentPackageWindow.addEventListener( 
Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, setAugmentFocus);
PopUpManager.addPopUp( this.augmentPackageWindow, this, true );
PopUpManager.centerPopUp( this.augmentPackageWindow );

in the function setAugmentFocus i have stuff like

var oldFm:FocusManager = new FocusManager(this);
oldFm.deactivate;

var fm:FocusManager = new FocusManager(this.augmentPackageForm);
fm.activate();
fm.setFocus(this.augmentPackageForm.insuranceValue);

and like I said, when I run this the "focus" actually goes to the insurance 
Value field in the augmentPackageForm which is a child in the 
augmentPackageWindow, but as soon as I start typing I begin to fill out the 
next field in the underlying form.   

Help Please!

[flexcoders] Re: Updating Static vars

[Joshua]

Thanks for the input... I might give that a whirl.  just as an FYI for me, or I 
guess an FMI can you do what I was trying to do initially?  I'm still doing 
some searching, but not finding much on updating static vars or partially 
calling a constructor... Oh, that just gave me an idea.

[flexcoders] Updating Static vars

[Joshua]

Hello I've got a situation as follows

1.  I have a class called MessageStrings.as that I use for storing static 
consts and variables used throughout my project.

2.  Recently, we started an affiliate program where I need to make 
modifications to the MessageStrings to change company names, email addresses, 
etc depending on which affiliate is loading the page (from url string)

3.  Instead of copying a bunch of static vars like
 public static var CONTACT_US:String = "Hello, contact us by phone at: 
"+PHONE;
 public static var CONTACT_US_AFFILIATE:String = "Hello, contact us by 
phone at: "+PHONE_AFFILIATE;

and switching all the references I have to MessageStrings for affiliate info I 
would like to do

public static var CONTACT_US:String = "Hello, contact us by phone at: 
"+getPhone();

and have a new variable (static var) called THE_AFFILIATE that gets set by a 
static function and getPhone returns a static var depending on what 
THE_AFFILIATE is set to.

where getPhone is something like this 

public static function getPhone():String {
var retPhone:String = "";
switch (THE_AFFILIATE) {
case MY_BUSINESS:
retPhone = SUPPORT_PHONE;
break;
case AFFILIATE:
retPhone = SUPPORT_PHONE_AFFILIATE;
break;
}   
return retPhone;
}

So, this almost works, problem is that the class (MessageStrings) sets all the 
variables intially and then when I set the Affiliate info later, the static 
vars are not updated, and therefore do not reflect the text I want to see.  

Is is possible to update all the variables that are affected by a change to the 
affiliate?  Kinda like calling the constructor again, but that won't work cause 
it resets my affiliate variable?

[flexcoders] Re: Search item in Hierarchical Data used in ADG then select node

[Joshua]

I think you can use the hierachicalCursor to run through all the nodes in the 
xml and then when you hit the node you are looking for you could specify it as 
the selectedItem in the ADG.

[flexcoders] Viewing flash based website in HTML component

[Joshua]

Hello,

I've got an air app where I'm trying to use the Html component to load up a 
flash website.  Problem is that the website starts to load (I can see the 
preloader) and then the html component just goes blank.  I wrote the html page 
I'm trying to load so I went in and did some trimming of javascript stuff that 
I didn't really need that I thought might be causing the issue, but, no dice.  
I'm also catch uncaughtScript errors from HTML, and there are none.  Anybody 
have any ideas?  The flash on the page that I'm loading only required flash 
player 8, so I'm thinking that shouldn't be an issue.  The page I'm trying to 
load is www.socialsaga.com/air_index.php

Here is my little mxml file that won't properly display the site.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Soap Version Mismatch

[Joshua]

I'm still running naked, but am getting a better grip on this stuff.

But here was my break, NOT!!

The company was nice enough to put me on their crossdomain file.  So, I'm 
thinking good, but I was wrong.  I still get a security violation


FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="Security error accessing url" 
faultCode="Channel.Security.Error" faultDetail="Destination: DefaultHTTPS"] 
messageId=null type="fault" bubbles=true cancelable=true eventPhase=2


What is up with that.  I thought that the cross-domain file would handle that.  
Here is the cross domain file on the root of the wsdl service




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





I am at https://www.shipnotic.com and am accessing a wsdl at https:// at well.


anybody know why this is still happening with crossdomain support?

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Soap Version Mismatch

[Joshua]

Thanks for the advice Steve.  So to do that I'm gonna need to 'hand-code' all 
the calls from Flex to php and then do the same with php, creating all the 
methods by hand from the wsdl?  Isn't there a simpler way to do it using the 
Flex wsdl wizard and a php proxy that just passes through the soap request?  
And either way I do it I still want to know why the way I'm attempting to do it 
won't work.  Why does going through php change my soap envelop and create a 
mismatch I guess is the big question??

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Soap Version Mismatch

[Joshua]

When instantiating webservice (implements webservice) with this line (no 
proxy/destination url, but rootUrl)


this.myService = new ModpayWeb(null, 
"https://www.mydomain.com/amfphp/services/mpNd.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsecure.modpay.com%2Fws%2Fmodpay.asmx%3Fwsdl";);


I get a soap envelop of


http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/


which does not match my static const


public static const SOAP_ENVELOPE_URI:String = 
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";;


and gives me a soap mismatch error


but when I go directly to the source and don't use the proxy I get back an 
envelop of


http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/


which does match my predefined const


but I get a security error channel  DefaultHttps


??

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Soap Version Mismatch

[Joshua]

I just don't get the overall picture here with this wsdl stuff with flex, so 
I've got some more questions and more info.  Firstly, I don't have a 
services-config.xml file... Do I need one?  If so how, where do I create it.  
I've seen a bunch of partial info on the subject but nothing really through.  
All my stuff is going from https to https, the site is hosted on https and the 
service is located on https.  Does that matter.  I have control over my server 
and can put cross-domain files on it.  I have a proxy written with curl trying 
to relay the call to the service.  Do I need to do anything special with that 
because I'm am going across https?  I guess the port deal selector on the flex 
wsdl creation wizard is really a namespace and not a more traditional 
communication port number.. Is that correct?  

Also, here is my crossdomain file on the root of my server

 


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





 

Does this look good considering https?

-

This is what I get if I don't pass a rootUrl in to the AbstractWebService 
constructor (that's how I use the php proxy)

 

FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="Security error accessing url" 
faultCode="Channel.Security.Error" faultDetail="Destination: DefaultHTTPS"] 
messageId=null type="fault" bubbles=true cancelable=true eventPhase=2]

 

Which, by the way when I'm working in debug mode on my computer works just fine 
until I upload to server.

Some more info...


I'm running everything over https


When I create the wsdl code from flex builder wizard, I have to select an 
alternative port to connect with the soap1.1 version (on the same screen where 
you specify the services you want to connect to).  Is it possible that when I 
run the php proxy and curl that I somehow lose the correct port to connect to 
1.1 and get 1.2 response back.  If so, anybody know how I could correct that?

[flexcoders] Flex Soap Version Mismatch

[Joshua]

I have a problem with soap and flex 3.  I have created a webservice through the 
import webservice menu in Flex Builder.  If I use the service as is I get a 
security error because the crossdomain policy on the remote server doesn't 
comply.  So, instead I am using a php proxy to relay the webservice through my 
server and out to the webservice back to the server back to Flex.  When I try 
to do this I get a SOAP mismatch error coming from the below code.

else if (envNS.uri != SOAPConstants.SOAP_ENVELOPE_URI)
{
throw new Error("SOAP Response Version Mismatch");
}

I went back in and checked the value of envNS.uri and 
SOAPConstants.SOAP_ENVELOPE_URI in both the previously described situations 
(php proxy and straight security riddled call).  In the security riddled call 
the two variables match.  In the proxy call I get back differing values of 
envNS.uri and SOAPConstants.SOAP_ENVELOPE_URI.

Can somebody tell me why the variables are not matching when put through the 
php proxy.  The php is simple, just curl, so I've pasted it below.  

///START PHP SNIPPET

$url = $_GET['url'];
$headers = $_GET['headers'];
$mimeType = $_GET['mimeType'];

//Start the Curl session
$session = curl_init();

// Don't return HTTP headers. Do return the contents of the call
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, ($headers == "true") ? true : false);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// Make the call
$response = curl_exec($session);

if ($mimeType != "")
{
// The web service returns XML. Set the Content-Type appropriately
header("Content-Type: ".$mimeType);
}

echo $response;

curl_close($session);

//END PHP SNIPPET

Any help would be great.  Thanks,

Hi Thom,

Thanks for the reply. It will be a website that is deployed on
internet. So user will access the flex application that is on a remote
machine from their browser on their local machine. What do I need to
write on the endpoint? Should I write the remote server domain name or
will localhost works?

[flexcoders] Applying form login in Flex

[Joshua Partogi]

Dear all,

How do you apply form login in Flex?

I use HttpService from flex to send the username and password to the
Backend. And then the backend will send back login message in XML
format.

Now how do I display this XML in Flex as it seems that based on the
documentation the XML data to be sent back to the front-end are for
List and DataGrid only.

Or could anyone give me an insight to do form login in Flex?

How do we do this with BlazeDS? I'm currently using BlazeDS. Is there

Yes, but the dataProvider is data from the database. Instead of
ArrayCollection that is set on the client.

Dear all,

I've got a list of data displayed in a datagrid where the DataProvider
is from Spring as the backend. Now everytime I add, update or delete

I've tried doing

But none of them works. Is there a special treatment is the data
provider is from a database? Please give me some hints on this.

[flexcoders] Re: alert button order

[joshua gatcke]

Thanks for the tips.

I am going to write a new alert component - this might end up being  
super awesome now that I think about it. Oh the possibilities. :D

[flexcoders] alert button order

[joshua gatcke]

Anyone know if it is possible to control the order of buttons in an  
alert? According to the docs adobe has predetermined the button order  
for us.

Currently the alert's buttons read [yes] [no], however our entire app  
has all our controls in reverse order [no] [yes]. This design decision  
is reflected in 100's of places through out our app and for  
consistence sake, we need to make alerts the same way. IMHO it seems  
extremely far fetched that we would have to go to such extremes as re- 
writing the alert class to put out buttons in a specific order.

Is there something in the docs I am missing? Has anyone else  
discovered this shortcoming? Any suggestions?

[flexcoders] ByteArray as VideoDisplay source

[Joshua Garnett]

Does anyone know of a way to connect a VideoDisplay or Video object to a
locally created ByteArray as opposed to a NetStream source?  or perhaps how
to sub-class NetStream in order to manually feed bytes from a ByteArray to
the Video object?
Essentially what I want to do is have a custom loading routine that I will
write and then pass that data on manually to a Video object.  Any help would
be appreciated.  Thanks!

[flexcoders] Intelligent ViewStack Children

[joshua gatcke]

Does anyone know if it is possible for a component to know if it's  
'visible' or 'on screen' when it's inside a ViewStack without looking  
at the parent ViewStacks properties? I have a component and I need to  
to 'know' if it's actually in the showing viewstack child or in one of  
the hidden ones. I cannot look at the parent ViewStack because I will  
not know where or how this component is being used.

I looked through piles of documentation, not sure if I am just thick  
or something.

Any suggestions would rock the casbah, thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] scale nine bug?

[joshua gatcke]

Do you think this is a bug?

I have declared a css background image for a panel (id="myPanel")  
component. If I click on this panel the event.target is:

 'myPanel'.

However, if I include scale nine formatting in the css background  
image declaration, the event.target becomes:

'myPanel.style__embed_css_assets_app_panel_panel_bg_png_1655812762_419'


Here is the CSS

Panel{
backgroundColor:#E7E7E7;
backgroundImage:Embed(source="assets/app_panel/panel_bg.png");/ 
*,scaleGridLeft="10", scaleGridTop="45", scaleGridRight="75",  
scaleGridBottom="85");*/

backgroundSize:"100%";
}


Children.



Why would including scale nine formatting to a backgroundImage CSS  
declaration change the event.target? Do  we have to worry about this  
type of thing with every component we try to skin?

[flexcoders] use runtime image more than once

[joshua gatcke]

Hello All,

Here is the problem. We are creating icon representations of a file  
system. I have to use runtime images in my application because we want  
people to be able to modify or add as many as needed without having to  
compile an swf etc. Sometimes we have 50 of the same images on the  
screen at the same time (could be more). that means that we get 50  
requests to the server for the exact same image.


I have been searching online how I could place a runtime image in a  
variable so I can use it over and over without having a new request  
(for the same image) sent to the server over and over. So far, nothing.


I have tried several things, so far nothing is panning out. Is this  
sorta thing possible?


Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

[flexcoders] all text selection in app is grey

[joshua gatcke]

when you select any text in our flex app the text selection color is  
grey. It doesn't matter if it is a textInput or a textArea or  
anything else for that matter. Not sure how this happened, as far as  
I can tell, there is no way to set the text selection color via css  
or anything else. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Re: [flexcoders] LCDS/Hibernate DataServices Issue

[Joshua Garnett]

Hi Jeff,

Yes we have the association tags in place.  We are using Hibernate
Annotations and have this Annotation: @ManyToOne(optional=false,fetch=
FetchType.LAZY)
Object referenceToB;

I should note that this doesn't occur in all cases.  For instance item 0 in
collectionA works correctly, all references from collectionC items to
collectionB items work correctly, but item 1 in collectionA fails, all
collectionC's referenceToBs are not actual references they are duplicates.

We have a destination for each of the different collections.

[flexcoders] LCDS/Hibernate DataServices Issue

[Joshua Garnett]

Hello,

We've recently encountered a problem on a project I'm working on.  We are
using the Data Management Services to managed all of our persisted objects.
It connects to our database via a customized Hibernate assembler.  The issue
we are seeing is that we have a series of collections that point to each
other and the references aren't being maintained properly throughout the
system.

Example:

Each item in collectiona, has two properties collectionb and collectionc.
The items in collectionc have a reference to an item in collectionb.

var itemB:Object = collectionb.getItemAt(0);
var refItemB:object = collectionc.getItemAt(0).referenceToB;
itemB.id == refItemB.id

If at this point I make a change to itemB the corresponding object refItemB
is not changed.  They are identical objects on the server and should always
be the same on the client.  I can refresh my client and the differences in
the objects are still present.  It is not until I close the session and
re-login that refItemB is updated properly.

Any thoughts on what we might be doing wrong or need to adjust?  Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] help binding info to a title window

[Joshua Garnett]

Hi Gustavo,

First off you should have some method for converting the XML into an
object.  The class can be named something like SampleVO with the fields
client, description, and image.   Verify that you are able to read in the
XML and set the fields properly.

Then in your title window create the following reference:   [Bindable]
public var sample:SampleVO;
The title property of your TitleWindow would then bind to {sample.client}

Lastly, instead of trying to directly set the title in the openWindow
function, just set myWindow.sample to the sample you want to render.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adding to an ArrayCollection

Don,

The ArrayCollection contains an array of references. When doing the for each
loop, xyz2 is a reference to the original object you created in the previous
loop.

Hi Don,

You should be able to do:

for each (xyz2:CustComponent in someArrayCol){
 xyz2.address = "Some address";
}

Re: [flexcoders] Code behind - class extend mxml vs. mxml extend class

[Joshua Garnett]

Hi Christoph,

I think one of the things you should look into doing, is try to avoid
directly referencing the items that are in your view in your code behind
class.  By doing so this will allow you rebuild your view without changing
much to your base class.  For example, say you have an application that has
a number of buttons that trigger some action.  In your BaseClass.as you
could have a number of consts:

[Bindable] protected static const LABEL_SUBMIT:String = "Submit";
[Bindable] protected static const LABEL_RESET:String = "Reset";

Then a simple function to handle the processing of buttons:

protected function handleButtonClick(event:MouseEvent) {
 var b:Button = event.targat as Button;
 var label:String = b.label;

 if(label == LABEL_SUBMIT) {
  doSubmit();
 }
 else if(label ==  LABEL_RESET) {
   doReset();
 else {
  throw(new Error("Invalid Label"));
 }
}

Then in your mxml view you can just bind to the consts and make a call to
the generic function:




This is an overly simplistic example, but it does demonstrate my point.  As
Tom also pointed out, by separating out the view and the code, it looks much
cleaner and in turn is more maintainable.  You'll also have code that is
more unit testable if you can just load in a class and not have to worry
about referencing an initialized view.

[flexcoders] Load Manager Class

[Joshua Buhler]

I need to load potentially few hundred images into an app I'm
building. Does anyone know of a good AS3-based load manager? Something
that could let me provide a list of images to be loaded, and control
all of the loading for me?

I could write one myself, but honestly, I'd like to save the time
involved if someone else already has.

I thought it might be something like that, so I tried adding a
transparent BG that matched the size of the thumb, but no luck - it
still scaled the thumb down, regardless of the size of the slider
track.

Thanks for the idea though,

[flexcoders] HSlider Skinning Troubles

[Joshua Buhler]

First, a picture of what's going on:

http://joshbuhler.com/images/sliders.jpg

(The grey rectangle background on the left isn't part of the problem.)


I want the slider to appear like the slider on the right. However,
once it loads in Flex, I get the slider on the left - with the
shrunken thumb button.

The graphics were done in Flash CS3, and have been exported into a
swf. The CSS rule I've defined for the slider is as follows:


Slider {
   thumbDisabledSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderThumb_disabledSkin");
   thumbDownSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderThumb_downSkin");
   thumbOverSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderThumb_overSkin");
   thumbUpSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderThumb_upSkin");
   trackHighlightSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderHighlight_Skin");
   trackSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderTrack_Skin");
   dataTipOffset: -50;
}

I've been searching for ways to specify the height of the thumb for a
while now, and haven't had any luck. Any suggestions?

swf. The CSS rule I've defined for the slider is as follows:


Slider {
thumbDisabledSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderThumb_disabledSkin");
thumbDownSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderThumb_downSkin");
thumbOverSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderThumb_overSkin");
thumbUpSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderThumb_upSkin");
trackHighlightSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderHighlight_Skin");
trackSkin: Embed(source="/assets/skins/viewerSkin.swf",
symbol="SliderTrack_Skin");
dataTipOffset: -50;
}

I've been searching for ways to specify the height of the thumb for a
while now, and haven't had any luck. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,

Just a last update.  Turns out I had encountered my last hurdle.  I received
my serial number 3 weeks after starting the process.  Again, I'd recommend
starting the conversion process as soon as you start your Mac Flex Builder
trial.  If all goes well you should be able to get things converted in a
week, but its always better to plan for the worse.

1) Do not let the Customer Service Rep transfer you to Sales.  Normally
Cross-Platforms are handled by Adobe's sales department because there are
usually some fees attached to the process.  Switching your Flex Builder
serial number doesn't cost anything, so in this special case Customer
Service should handle the process.   It took me 2 hours, 2 phone
disconnects, and 6 reps before I finally got someone to figure this out.

2) You will be required to send in a Letter of Software Destruction.
You'll put in all of your information and sign that you have deleted your
old version of the software and will no longer use the old serial number.
Customer Service will probably have you search for the letter on Adobe's
site and download it.  Be very careful that you get the right version.
The customer service rep pointed me to lod_return.pdf instead of the correct
form lod_exchange.pdf.  The correct file should have the header "Letter of
Software Destruction" with "(Cross-platform/Cross-launguage)" below it.  If
you fax in the wrong form it'll take about a week before they figure it out
and you'll need to re-fax in the correct form.

3) Call customer service first thing in the morning.  The customer service
rep said that wait times are greatly reduced early in the morning.  The US
department hours start at 9am EST.

4) Give yourself the full 30 days of your Mac trial to do the switch.  In
my experience it has taken almost a week to hear back from Adobe.  I started
this process on April 25th and have already had to call back 2 times each
about a week apart.  I still haven't received my new serial number, but I'm
hoping that I've encountered my last hurdle in the process.

[flexcoders] capture event on runtime image

[joshua gatcke]

Hello all,

I am trying to use an event listener on a parent container of a bunch  
of images that are loaded at runtime. ie:


picContainer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadApplication,  
false, 0);






The function loadApplication() is getting called, but there is no  
event information. I cannot access things like: target.id or anything  
else on the event for that matter. However, as soon as I embed the  
images, all the event info is there. I do not want to embed the  
images however as I have no control over them, they will be different  
every time.


Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance for your help :)

[flexcoders] Tile Extra Space

[joshua gatcke]

I am trying to use a  container to layout a set of  
application icons. I have set the  container to a width of 100%  
and would like the icons to wrap to the line below if the browser is  
smaller or resized. The problem I am having is that the icons in my  
 container are 60px tall and The  container does not fit  
the height to the content, it looks like the  container is  
double or triple the icon height, even when there is no need to wrap.  
I have no width or maxWidth etc attributes on the  container.  
This is a real pain, I just want the tile container to fit the height  
to the content.

[flexcoders] xml-rpc

Does anyone know of an xml-rpc class or package for AS3? I found this  
one: http://www.hrum.org/people/debedb/pro/blog/2006/12/ 
xmlrpc_in_flex_2actionscript_3_1.html however, I cannot seem to get  
it to work. XML-RPC from flex would be the ultimate solution for me.  
Does any one know of any solutions? I don't think I could write this  
myself, and amf -> service -> xml-rpc does not seem like a very  
desirable option.

Thanks in advance,

[flexcoders] amfphp + codeigniter

[joshua gatcke]

Has anyone ever created a Flex + PHP project using AMFPHP +  
Codeigniter? I have been trying to integrate the two with no luck.

Or maybe I shouldn't integrate the two, the question then becomes:  
does anyone know how to consume webservices from external sources  
with amfphp? what I mean is, right now, with amfphp I have to point  
my remoteobject tag to amfphp/gateway.php sending the method I want  
to use etc. What if I wanted to use the remote object tag to access  
flickr? would I have to call the flickr webservice from an amfphp  
service and return the results to flex with amfphp, or is there a way  
to go from flex -> flickr using amfphp? If the latter is possible,  
then I can just create xml-rpc web services in CI and serve them to  
flex.

I am trying to create a flex application that people can download and  
install on their servers / host. That is why we are using PHP. I find  
it incredibly limiting to use  with rest style data  
exchange for my entire application, that is why I am trying to use  
amfphp.

Do a lot of you guys use flex + php? if so, what sort of development  
approach do you take?

THanks in advance for any help suggestions.

  

[flexcoders] RPC method

Hello all,

I am trying to create a blog editor with flex and php. I am just  
learning about XML-RPC, and want to use this in my flex app. I have  
set up a XML-RPC server, created my response handling functions, etc.  
Everything is working fine except that I cannot figure out how to  
send the RPC method I want to call with a regular MXML httprequest.  
Here is the example from the documentation,




http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";  
verticalGap="20">







{dept.selectedItem.data}


"{ArrayUtil.toArray 
(employeeSrv.lastResult.employees.employee)}"/>








data="PM"/>


















I understand how to send value pairs, bind data, send the request,  
etc. I just cannot figure out how to call the RPC server method that  
I want to use.


Hope my question is clear, thanks in advance for any help :)

Re: [flexcoders] Binding a property to a function

[Joshua Garnett]

HI Lieven,

The way I usually do this is wrap the function I want to call with a setter
function.  So for example lets say I have , I'd have a function:

private function set myValue(v:String) : void {
   if(v != null) {
  callMyFunction(v);
   }
}

If you only want to use AS you can use the bindSetter method in
BindingUtils.  You can also look into using the Observe tag.

[flexcoders] NetConnection animation or visual feedback?

[Joshua Flood]

I'm using NetConnection in several places in my application. I'd like
to create a class to extend NetConnection that would open a popup
window to display feedback to tell the user to wait while
communicating with the server. The idea is to put this in the extended
NetConnection class so that I don't have to repeat the feedback code
every time I contact the remote server in the code. 

I had thought I'd be able to extend the "call" function to open the
feedback window and detect completion of the data transfer to close
it. Unfortunately it looks like the call function is not marked
extendable. 

Has anyone else tried to do this? Any ideas of where I should be
looking, or examples? Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Adobe, Help Memory Leaking !!

[Joshua Garnett]

Have you tried setting the recycleChildren attribute of the Repeater to false?  I believe when you have recycleChildren set to true, even if you reduce the number of items in the dataProvider, it still keeps an object in memory that it will reuse.  I've actually encountered other issues with having recycleChildren set to true when the repeaters are nested within repeaters.  There doesn't seem to be any noticeable performance hit by switching it to false.

No. I have yet to run this app and see 300MB of RAM
consumed ever.  Mine gets a ceiling of like 12MB and never goes higher.

 

When the GC runs it destroys objects within the
totalMemory within the player. When the player needs more memory for new
objects, it adds memory if the gc cannot dispose of what is needed. It is true
to say that on machines with ample resources, the player may accumulate more
resources but this is true with all applications.

 

I have to say I think you may be looking at a bug specific
to your os/system configuration. Is the behavior browser specific?

Ok
got some information for you:

 

flash.system.System.totalMemory

A
better way to think about this is allocated memory. When the player needs more
memory it acquires it from the OS/Browser in use. The player doesn't
necessarily give the memory back. Within that memory in use are the objects
being used. When GC runs, it disposes objects within the allocated memory but
doesn't give memory back to the OS/Browser.

 

The
GC is running and collecting objects, but f lash.system.System.totalMemory

Peter that fixed my problem.  Thanks!  As for my setup, I'm using Tomcat 5.5.17. For my webserver I'm using Apache 2.0.55, which then connects to Tomcat via the Tomcat connector (version 1.2.15).  I don't have any other security products currently installed.
Is there an updated list of known issues for FDS?  I didn't see the issue I was having listed at http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/2/releasenotes_flex2_fds.html#knownissues
Thanks again,--JoshOn 7/7/06, Peter Farland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:



















What app server are you using? Do you have
any additional security products or servlet filters installed (like
siteminder)?

 

There is a known issue with MSIE and HTTPS
requests that receive responses with no-cache HTTP headers. We try to detect
this situation but you can at least forcibly stop a Flex 2 endpoint from
sending no-cache headers on a response by setting the following in the
secure-amf channel-definition  section:

 

false

 

Let me know if that fixes the issue.

Issue



 







I've
setup FDS to build the clients on the server using the secure-amf channel as
the default.  The channel uses the java adapter.  Now the client that
I'm working on works fine in Firefox.  It is able to make calls through
the AMF gateway without any issues.  When trying to run the same client in
IE the calls fail to go through.  

Here is the fault message it's generating:

[RPC Fault faultString="Send failed"
faultCode="Client.Error.MessageSend"
faultDetail="Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed :
HTTP: Failed"] (mx.messaging.messages::ErrorMessage)#0
  body = (Object)#1
  clientId = (null)
  correlationId = "D4E913AE-3952-9C49-707A-48BC31094F36"
  destination = ""
  extendedData = (null) 
  faultCode = "Client.Error.MessageSend"
  faultDetail = "Channel.Connect.Failed error
NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed"
  faultString = "Send failed"
  headers = (Object)#2 
  messageId = "8AAD9688-DD0C-B5D7-9BD2-48BC31BE80B4"
  rootCause = (Object)#3
    code = "NetConnection.Call.Failed"
    description = "HTTP: Failed"
    details =
"https://(serverurl)/flex2/messagebroker/amfsecure" 
    level = "error"
  timestamp = 0
  timeToLive = 0

I can load the url to the amf gateway in IE without any errors.  It's just
the client itself that doesn't seem to want to make the connection.  Is
there perhaps any IE specific configuration I need to do?  

The only thing out of the ordinary I noticed is that when loading the client in
IE it initially pops up an error saying that the page contains secure and non-secure
content.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
--Josh

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm 2 SequenceCommand question

[Joshua Garnett]

There are a couple of ways that you can do it.  1) Have your command extend SequenceCommand and then in the command's constructor call super(nextEvent). or 2) You can dynamically assign the nextEvent by passing it to the command.  This is the way I prefer, since it allows you to build different chains of commands.  To aide this I built a class called SequenceEvent:
    public class SequenceEvent extends CairngormEvent     {    public var nextEvent : CairngormEvent;        public function SequenceEvent ( eventType:String, nextEvent : CairngormEvent = null ) 
    {    super( eventType );        this.nextEvent = nextEvent;    }    }

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm 2 SequenceCommand question

[Joshua Garnett]

Hmm... My e-mail got cut off for some reason.For each, of my SequenceCommands I then put the following after the execute statement:            var sequenceEvent:SequenceEvent = SequenceEvent(cairngormEvent);
            nextEvent = sequenceEvent.nextEvent;Then of course at the end of the execute or onResult I put:            executeNextCommand();To build a chain of commands, you must build the chain of events from last to first.
            var secondEvent : SequenceEvent = new SequenceEvent(Controller.EVENT_DO_SECOND);            var firstEvent : SequenceEvent = new SequenceEvent(Controller.EVENT_DO_FIRST, secondEvent);            
CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(firstEvent);There may be a better approach, but this has been working for me.--JoshOn 7/5/06,

Re: [flexcoders] F2F: Auto-complete import issue

[Joshua Garnett]

Search brings up no references to org.nevis in the project's workspace.  The Cairngorm2.swc file I'm using is the Flex 2 Final version.  For good measure, I just copied the Cairngorm.swc that I compiled from the source and now everything is working properly.  That's really strange.

[flexcoders] F2F: Auto-complete import issue

[Joshua Garnett]

When creating a new variable and referencing CairngormEvent, Flex Builder 2 is automatically adding import org.nevis.cairngorm.control.CairngormEvent; instead of import com.adobe.cairngorm.control.CairngormEvent;.  I've imported the new library and it compiles fine, its just that the auto-complete function keeps trying to import the wrong class.
Is there some setting I need to adjust or clear out?Thanks,--Josh

Re: [flexcoders] switching from beta 3 to the real thing?

[Joshua Garnett]

One thing to keep in mind is that F2B3 code doesn't seem to run the same in the newly released Flash 9 Player.  I just loaded up my F2B3 app with the new Flash Player and it doesn't work the same.  The UI colors are off and I can't even load up all of my views in the code.
So make sure you bundle the F2B3 flash installer along with your project or at least do a test to see your code renders properly in the new player.--JoshOn 6/28/06,

Even without trying 2.0 final yet, I would strongly urge you not to upgrade your main flex beta environment.  Install it on a separate computer, spend about and hour or two on just seeing what has changed.  If it takes longer, you're probably best off not doing it.
I think that's the best advice anyone here could give you.  There's no way for people to tell just what minor quirk that they don't know about will really come into play in your app.

Hi all,I've been working on a fairly large application for the last months. This project is the final thing i need to do before graduation, so it's very important everything works. The deadline is next week tuesday (6 days away) and I would love to hand in a version that is final, in stead one working from the beta. But, as always with projects I have quite a list of last minute fixes that need to be done and I have no idea how much time it will take switching from beta 3 to the real deal. 
So the question is, how much time does it take to switch over? Are there parts of code that changed drastically, are there any area's I could expect problems? If things don't work next week it means I'll fail, won't graduate and have to do my internship all over, costing 5 months. So, I'm hesitant to jump on the boat. But man, flex 2 is tempting! 
Kind regards,Sonja Duijvesteijn

[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 AMF Issue

[Joshua Garnett]

I'm having a problem passing objects that contain objects through the AMF gateway.  I've found a way to work around it, but I'm not really keen on the solution.  What I'm trying to do is pass an object to a java function.  This object contains a reference to another object within it.  When trying to access methods on the object that is referenced I get a java exception.
Here is some example flex code that doesn't work:var myObject:MyObject = new MyObject();var subObject:SubObject = new SubObject();myObject.sub = subObject;service.myFunction(myObject);
Here is my workaround:
var myObject:MyObject = new MyObject();var subObject:SubObject = new SubObject();myObject.sub = new SubObject();myObject.sub.vara = subObject.vara;myObject.sub.varb = subObject.varb;...service.myFunction

(myObject);I'd rather not have to manually create an object on the object and then manually copy over each of the variables.  Is there a better way around this?  Perhaps a setting on the RemoteObject?

[flexcoders] Question about History Management

[Joshua Noble]

Flex 1.5 -

This is something that I'm suspecting but can't seem to find a 
definitive straight answer on (at least from Google): our client wants 
to have a swf generated and handed off to them for use; they bought the 
license but don't want to install jrun and use the mxml files. So far so 
good, but they asked us to enable History Management, aka 'back button'. 
I played around with it for a moment and thought: 'not without the 
server'. The _javascript_ that's creating the lc_id variable is generated 
by some servelet when the mxml file creates its swf (I think) so if the 
user is hitting a pre-generated swf none of this is going to happen. I 
want to go tell the client this is impossible, but wanted to check 
first. Am I right?

Re: [flexcoders] OutOfMemoryError

[Joshua Garnett]

I'm not sure if this is related, but when running large Flex 1.5 apps I'd get an OutOfMemory Error from Tomcat.  If you open up the Tomcat monitor and then goto the Java tab you can adjust the memory settings.  I've set "Initial Memory Pool" to 64 and "Maximum Memory Pool" to 512.  After making those changes, I restarted Tomcat and everything worked fine.
--JoshOn 4/5/06, Kim Reddington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:







I have a large 
application that I've been running for over a year. All of a sudden the app 
stopped running. I am getting an OutOfMemory Error when I tried to run in any 
browser.  My first thought was it must have been the changes I've made. 
Luckily, we are using CVS, so I grabbed a version of our software from a couple 
weeks ago.  Well, the out of memory error is still there. So then I thought 
maybe it's because I installed Flex 2 Beta 2, so I uninstalled all the Beta 2 
items (Builder, FDS, etc).  The application was still erroring 
out.
 
In trying to debug 
what is happening, I can see that the .as file is being generated, but the SWF 
file is not being created.  The comiler is timing out before it completes 
the SWF.
 
If anyone has any 
ideas of what I could look at, try, whatever.  I been trying to figure this 
out for a couple of weeks and have run out of ideas.  Has anyone seen this 
before? Has anyone had similar experiences after installing Flex 2?  What 
might have changed?
 
Thank you so much 
for your help,
Kim

Re: [flexcoders] Flash within Flex?

[Joshua Garnett]

I haven't used Flex 2.0 yet, but I know in Flex 1.5 to load in a swf you can use the Loader Class (checked Flex 2.0 docs and I don't believe this was depreciated).   mxml example: 
Once the file is loaded you can access any public functions/variables that exist in the swf.--JoshOn 3/20/06, riskyseven <
