[flexcoders] Multiple developer environment setup with subversion and all offsite
We are currently looking to start using subversion for our flex application and other web applications and would like to get some feedback on how you would set our environment up. We all work from home, and we have a dedicated production/development server. It is currently only me who is developing all the web and flex applications, but my boss has told me we are getting way too busy now for just one developer. I have a local development environment that I develop and test locally, then when I am finished with my tasks given and want my boss to finally look and test my work, I upload it to the test server. When the test is completed, we then promote to the production server. My problem lies at, 1). if we go to multiple developers, then they would also have to set up their local environment like mine and keep our code in their environment. 2). If we created the remote developer server then you are really depending on your internet connection. if that goes then you cannot develop. But on the flip side, all of our code would rest on our development server and not in their environment. We currently use Flex Builder 3 and Dreamweaver. if we choose option 1 then this would be the developers requirements Flex Builder 3 with Tasktop connector for bugzilla and subversive for subversion ColdFusion 8.1 developer edition MYSQL 5.1 with schema that we provide Apache 2.2 if developer is on mulitple projects with us. I would like to get some input on how you would solve this problem. Thanks Link

Yes, actually if there was some detailed documentation on what the wizard was doing that would be quite helpful I guess. And, I think I spoke to rashly about the demos, they ARE impressive and the quick CRUD stuff seemed to be very beneficial to the Ruby on Rails phenomenon. I think if the documentation explained what the demo's were doing (in detail) and explained how the resulting code could be changed, then they'd be much more useful to people just starting out with remoting (like me). I'll look at the simple demo/applications (and hope they have good explanations!).

I tried the wizard but wizards are a Catch-22: If you need the wizard to create your code, you'll get something that is essentially nothing more than a demo and you wont understand how it did what it did or where to go from there. If you understand what the wizard does and it could actually use a wizard to speed things up, you dont need it because you'd rather do it your own way. (They really seem to only be useful for impressing people who dont actually code). The tutorials that I have found so far assume you are using a J2EE implementation..or they are for Flex 2. So I need one for Flex 3 that walks through using the local cf server. I have cf hooked up to the db's (data sources work). And the wizard demo app works. However, I dont need what the wizard does and I dont understand how its laying out all the files. I need an explanation of that so that.

[flexcoders] Modules, CFC and the second load
I have a module that I call a remote Object to a cfc. the cfc is a basic CRUD built with the CF wizard in Flex 3 Builder. I have bindable data variables in the main application that I use in this module by using the parentApplication.myVariable. now my application saves the form the first time it is loaded and will save it as many times as you want to, but if you close the module and reload it. it gives me this error when I try to save to the db again. [RPC Fault faultString=Unable to invoke CFC - Variable OBJ is undefined. faultCode=Server.Processing faultDetail=] at mx.rpc::AbstractInvoker/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::fa ultHandler()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0 \frameworks\projects\rpc\src\mx\rpc\AbstractInvoker.as:220 at mx.rpc::Responder/fault()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0 \frameworks\projects\rpc\src\mx\rpc\Responder.as:53] at mx.rpc::AsyncRequest/fault()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0 \frameworks\projects\rpc\src\mx\rpc\AsyncRequest.as:103] at NetConnectionMessageResponder/statusHandler()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0 \frameworks\projects\rpc\src\mx\messaging\channels\NetConnectionChanne l.as:569] at mx.messaging::MessageResponder/status()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0 \frameworks\projects\rpc\src\mx\messaging\MessageResponder.as:222] Now I have debugged it to the point that is is sending out the obj that I create and it IS there.

We're also ensuring Silverlight runtime works on the mobile in the future and at MIX we joined forces with Nokia to make this a reality. The same runtime will work on the desktop and device, and this means there will not be a Silverlight lite vs Silverlight (as we've heard from customers around the problems of having Flash lite vs Flash).

RE: [flexcoders] Upload file component
There is no file uploader, you have to make one, Take a look at this example
You use the flash.net.FileReference

[Bindable] private var textTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter(Text Files
(*.txt, *.rtf, *.doc, *.docx), *.txt; *.rtf; *.doc; *.docx);
[Bindable] private var pdfTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter(PDF Files
(*.pdf), *.pdf);
[Bindable] private var allTypes:Array = new Array(textTypes, pdfTypes);
[Bindable] private var resumeName:String = ;
[Bindable] public var FileUpload:TitleWindow;
//remove complete when the resume is completely uploaded. }
private function browseFiles():void{
resume.browse(allTypes);
}
private function selectHandler(evt:Event):void{
//Apply name to text field to allow user to know the file
has been attached to the form
//returns full name with extension
resumeName = resume.name;
}
//IF FORM IS VALIDATED
//Upload resume
var request:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(/yourdocumentpath/fileupload.cfm);
try
{
resume.upload(request);

Dear all,
How do I upload file with Flex? Is there any file uploader component?
I could not find any in the documentation, perhaps I have missed
anything. Could anyone give me some hints?

RE: re[flexcoders] peater checkbox width is alway 0
Sorry about that tracy, I think the reason for me getting 0 on my width and
height is the controls are not created on screen yet, and the width and
height will change when they are displayed. I was trying to get the natural
width and height. So once checkbox could be 160 while another would be 250.
The reason is I wanted to make a checkbox selection list based on combobox
selection and each section has their own topic section: see below
I tried tile, tilelist, grid, etc. The only one that could make this was the
Canvas.
module 1
[ ] submodule [ ]submodule [ ]submodule
[ ]submodule [ ]submodule [ ]submodule
Module 2
[ ] submodule [ ]submodule [ ]submodule
[ ]submodule [ ]submodule [ ]submodule
Just to let everyone know, I kind have a solution. But the reason for me
needing my width was to position my checkboxes closer to the previous one.
The would compact my layout better.
Thanks Link

I don't have a suggestion to your question directly, but.
Repeater is a great tool, but using it like that can be difficult. I
suggest you create a custom component, implementing a public property into
which you pass the entire currentItem. This allows you to code the repeated
content much more normally. For example, you can use the normal component
lifecycle events like creationComplete, and can dispatch events, and the
handler can access the dataProvider item without that silly getRepeaterItem
stuff. Internal code can access child components by normal id references.
You don't say what you need to width for or why you are looping, but
consider this technique and it might solve one or more of your problems.

Hi,
I am trying to get the width of my checkboxes in a repeater either during
the repeatEnd, where I create a loop over my items or during the repeat.
Here is my code
mx:Canvas id=rpForm width=720 height=500
mx:Repeater id=rp dataProvider={A00Skills} repeat=removeLabel(event)
mx:Label id=fhSkill text={rp.currentItem.Module} fontWeight=bold/
mx:Spacer id=spc height=0/

minWidth=50/
/mx:Repeater
/mx:Canvas
now I have tried in my function during repeatEnd or repeat to access my
checkbox width and it is always 0. When I debug in flex builder I can go to
cx -- inherited -- [0] -- x is 101 in with a green icon, but there is a
yellow icon underneath it with 0, which is what I am getting.
So how do I get the width of cx[1].width ?
please help, Do I have a bug
