[flexcoders] Tile and 100% width
If I create a Tile element with a percent-based width (and leave the height unset), it uses some weird method to determine the height, and it's typically two to three times as tall as it needs to be. Any suggestions for how to work around this? I'd like the tile to be 100% the width of its parent container, but just tall enough to fit its children. -Maciek
[flexcoders] PopUpButton.popUp
I'm using a PopUpButton with a custom menu (PopUpMenuButton doesn't quite do what I need), and I find that in some situations, the .popUp property is reset to null. The PopUpButton in question is never taken off the display list, and in the source, that's the only thing I can see that could update this, other than explicitly calling the setter, which I am pretty sure I'm *not* doing. Any ideas? This seems to happen especially when the window is resized. Thanks, Maciek

Trying one more time. Surely there's a call (validateNow() ?,
invalidateDisplayList() ? that would force a column chart to display
properly after its series array has been dynamically constructed?
I haven't been able to find a JIRA bug though this may be related:

I have a binding function as follows
mx:ColumnChart id=columnChart type=stacked
height=100%
width=100%
dataProvider=model.chartData
series={this.buildSeriesList(model.seriesSpec)}
and the stacked columns are displayed, but not aligned with each
other. Quite amusing, except when you have a deadline.
This must be the known defect you referred to.
Anyone know a workaround, or defect number?

I'd like to create a dynamic Flex Stacked Column Chart
at runtime, based on values out of a database. The
following are the steps that I currently follow (without

1. Query the database and populate chartIemArrayColl

2. Iterate through chartIemArrayColl and only create a a
new columnseries object if there does not already exist
on for that 'selection'. Add this columnseries to the
columnset
3. Apply this to the chart
Note: I used secondSeries instead of series because of a
known defect in Flex that makes the charts off center if
series is used.
Problems:
1. The chartIemArrayColl contains items that contain the
same 'name' but different 'value' and different
'selection'. However, in this case that particular
'name' is printed on the x-axis multiple times (not
correct)
2. The 'selection' should be the legend, but when it is
graphed it does not seem as though it is connected to
the items actually charted
What I'd like to achieve:
1. Column chart with a legend that contains only values
of the 'selection'
2. Stacked Column chart that contains values where I can
chart the following example:
item1 (name=myName, selection=sel1, value=4)
item2 (name=myName, selection=sel2, value=6)
item3 (name=name3, selection=sel1, value=8)
I expect a chart that has myName and name3 across the
x-axis (myName should only appear once). A column should
appear at myName that has one color/selection (value 4)
stacked on top of another (value 6). A column should be
at name3 with the same color/selection as item1 (value
8).
Can you please help me with this? Thanks so much in

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Accessibility stopped working
Yep, the sources are there--Gordon, you can set up a Flex library project for the sdk ($FLEX_HOME/frameworks/projects/framework/src). You then need to associate it with your project. I'm not sure if there's a config-based way to do this--I just always stop at a breakpoint in my code, try to step into framework code, and then FlexBuilder will tell me it doesn't have source and prompt me to add it. You'll want to set a breakpoint in the appropriate mx.accessibility.* class (and if that doesn't work, you'll probably want to confirm that your framework breakpoints are working by breaking on something like UIComponent createChildren() or something). -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: Alex Harui aha...@adobe.com Reply-to: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Accessibility stopped working Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 23:14:41 -0700 Ok, I’m out of my area of knowledge.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Datagrid question
It seems like the license number is not just a button label--it's actually a part of your model. Perhaps that column should render the number associated with each user (if any). If there's a number, display that. If it's NaN (or -1, or whatever invalid number you choose), display it as a 'Generate' button and on click, update the model with the number, and update the display of the renderer. -Original Message- From: Pilby i...@pilby.us Reply-to: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Datagrid question Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 10:59:20 -0700 Thanks for responding, Tracy. Let's say this is an application that allows generation of license numbers. Imagine this: You have 3 columns in the datagrid. The first and second columns are the first and last names of a person. The third column is a button (which is really part of an MXML component) that has it's 'label' set as Click to generate license number. When the user clicks the button, the logic to generate the license number is within the component and will be output to the label property of the button, and the button will no longer be clickable. The application allows multiple people to be listed in the datagrid. Outside the datagrid, there is a button that says Click to print all. Given the specs I described so far, it's clear that I have to be able to iterate through each row in the datagrid, extracting the data from each column of each row. Typically, I would just get the dataProvider array collection object, and the problem would be solved. But because the license number is being output through the label property of the button (which is part of a MXML component) and is not part of the original dataProvider data, I can't go that route. I figured I now have to somehow iterate through each row, grabbing the data of each column of the row and storing it somehow. Is there a way for me to get the license number from the label property of the buttons?

RE: [flexcoders] how to avoid cacheing XML
That's a good point--POSTs won't get cached unless something is seriously borked. See also this note from URLRequest docs: === Note: If running in Flash Player and the referenced form has no body, Flash Player automatically uses a GET operation, even if the method is set to URLRequestMethod.POST. For this reason, it is recommended to always include a dummy body to ensure that the correct method is used. The default value is URLRequestMethod.GET. === In my opinion, using a POST for something that's really a GET that you do not want cached is a little more bogus than appending a dummy parameter, but whatever floats your boat. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: Tracy Spratt tspr...@lariatinc.com Reply-to: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] how to avoid cacheing XML Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:21:21 -0400 If you have control over the server, you are supposed t be able to set html headers that prevent caching, but there are so many server and browser combinations, well, good luck.

- For each row in the result set
-- MapString,Object row = new HashMap();
-- For each column in the result set metadata
--- row.put(column name, row value)

Subject: [flexcoders] Problem with LinearAxis on an horizontal axis
Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2009 17:58:24 -
For what I know, LinearAxis computes the *number* of samples, not a
property on the data provider.
I would like to plot my samples linearly on the horizontal axis.
For example, I must plot with a LineChart these samples:
{day:3 value:1}
{day:5 value:4}
{day:6 value:8}
I'd like to put LinearAxis' min=1 and max=10, where 1 and 10 are day
number.
Then I'd like to see value=1 in the first third of the area, 4 and 8
close together, then some space till the maximum day number, which is
10.
But, as I said, LinearAxis reasons on the number of samples, which in my
case is 3. The only workaround I found is to artificially add empty
samples for days 1,2,4,7,8,9,10
Is there a bettere way?

[flexcoders] tiling FormItems
I want to have a form with a tiled layout (instead of the default stacked). It looks like I can just put FormItem objects in another container (e.g., Tile) and do what I want, but this seems like cats and dogs sleeping together and lions lying down with lambs and just generally the end of days. I've looked at the source and FormItem seems to assume it's in a Form in a couple of places, but nothing that looks terribly important. Am I safe putting FormItems in a Tile? -Maciek

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How can I have my class return an ArrayCollection?
So you want a function to return a result before it's there? I think you
can see the problem inherent in that design.
In a runtime other than Flash, you could block if the user calls the
function before the result is available, but Flash won't let you do that
(and for good reason--the entire paradigm is built around nonblocking
actions). I think the only think you can do is have Services extend
EventDispatcher and dispatch an event when the result is returned, and
listen for that in the client.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How can I have my class return an ArrayCollection?
At first glance, that looks right. Now you just need to add listeners
(for ResultEvent.RESULT since you're just re-dispatching it--although it
might be a good idea to create your own event type here) to the
ClientServices object.
Alternately, depending on how you're using this, since your class is
bindable anway, you could simply have the HTTPService result handler
update your servicesArray, and dispatch an event stating it's ready.
E.g., something like
[Bindable(event=foo)]
public function get serviceList():ArrayCollection {
return servicesArray;
}
and in your ResultEvent.RESULT listener, simply do
// as before
for each (... {
...
}
// Ideally, dispatch a custom event type, but this will work
dipatchEvent(new Event('foo'));
Then, clients binding to the serviceList() getter will automagically see
updates as soon as the info arrives--e.g., something like:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
var cs:ClientServices = new ClientServices();
]]
/mx:Script
mx:List id=serviceList dataProvider={cs.servicesList}/
This is more useful if you're consuming ClientServices in MXML rather
than ActionScript, since in ActionScript you have to go through
BindingUtils, which is somewhat more awkward, but it still might be
better than manually configuring listeners to ClientServices...

If you are having problems with it giving you a null object before the
ResultEvent function is called then make a function that returns an
empty ArrayCollection if it is currently null.
Perhaps
function getServiceArray( ):ArrayCollection
{
if( this.serviceArray == null )
{
this.serviceArray = new ArrayCollection( );
}
return this.serviceArray( );
}
If that isn't what you are having problems with, perhaps more
specificity could help us help you.

Date: Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:54:24 -
Hi all,
I am wondering if it is possible to use a different field for the label
than the one used in the axis category in a bar chart.
To expand...
mx:verticalAxis
mx:CategoryAxis categoryField=displayName
/mx:verticalAxis
mx:series
mx:BarSeries yField=ip xField=errorIndex displayName=Error Index
styleName={barColor()}/
/mx:series
I am trying to show a bar chart that shows a list of services delivered
by their respect delivery %. I want the label field on the vertical axis
to show the display name of the service but I want the bar series to
be based on the IP of the service. If I try to use the display name of
the service it backfires because sometimes there are duplicate services
with the same name, then the bar chart just wigs out and draws those
bars on top of each other. But there are never duplicate IP's so I'd be
safe there. I just need clean labels.
Obviously the above code doesn't work but that is where my brain is
right now. Could anyone point me in the right direction.

We do quite a bit of this at Truviso to dynamically generate Flex-based reports and live dashboards based on XML definitions. I think the details of how we do this could be improved, but the core structure is reasonably straightforward, through the magic of recursion. Basically, we have two types of components: Containers and Widgets. A Widget takes its XML definition and transforms our custom XML model to custom Flex components through a small series of (unfortunately) manual steps. A Container walks through its child definitions in the XML and instantiates new Containers or Widgets as appropriate. Having Factories for both Containers and Widgets helps keeps the coupling down. Are there limits on the sorts of things expected from your XML layer, or have you been given the daunting task of re-implementing mxmlc in actionscript? -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: Ilam Mougy imo...@yahoo.com Reply-to: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Best approach for Dynamic UI generation from XML... Date: Fri, 03 Apr 2009 12:31:07 - I have a task of dynamically generating Flex UI forms from XML. I am free to design the look of the XML to be whatever I like. Is there a best approach to this problem, other than iterating over the XML and one by one creating objects that maps to Flex UI elements? Thanks,
[flexcoders] parent MenuItem in hierarchical menus?
Is there an easy way to get a reference to the parent MenuItem from an itemClick MenuEvent? I know I can use parentMenu and then dig around in the data descriptor, but it seems like there should be a cleaner way to do this... Specifically, I want to change my parent MenuItem's label when a certain child is chosen to reflect that selection. E.g., [stuff|v] -food --apples --oranges --milkshakes -cars --flying --not flying --amphibious I want each level to remember the last selection, so if the user selects food - oranges and then cars - flying, the menu would look something like [stuff|v] -food (oranges) --apples --oranges --milkshakes -cars (flying) --flying --not flying --amphibious Or would this be easier through a custom data descriptor? -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com
Re: [flexcoders] Dynamic creation of ComboBox in ActionScript
Brad,
creationComplete is an event, and not a method or property. In MXML,
these look very similar, but in ActionScript, you need to explicitly add
an event listener to handle the event. E.g.,
comboBox.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,
handleCreationComplete)
and then elsewhere in the file, define the handler, as you would in
MXML:
private function handleCreationComplete(e:FlexEvent):void {
...
}

Subject: [flexcoders] Dynamic creation of ComboBox in ActionScript
Date: Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:24:31 -
Big Picture: I'm trying to recreate the dynamic search interface in
search coders app. I think it will be a great base for an sql front end.
I can create combo-box's dynamically via the button. However, I want as
much configuration as possible to come from a database (so I can change
my app without going through all the red-tape of change control).
Sooo... I need to create the ComboBox when the the button is pressed but
THEN (here is the question): I need it to execute a function,
conn.getData(), in order to have the ComboBox populated. In mxml, I
would use creationComplete. However, actionscript does not seem to have
this method for ComboBox. What do I use?
I've searched the methods for ComboBox but nothing is jumping out at
meexcept maybe initialized. Are the 3 phases of layout done before
the call to a dataprovider (if I want the data at creationcomplete)?
(Yes, I'm working through my flex authority issues too).
And, while I'm at it, what would be the best method -- via
actionscript-- for completely removing the ComboBox (and putting it out
for garbage collection) if the minus button is pressed?

Can we perhaps have a separate flexcoders-scott-barnes list to discuss whether or not Scott Barnes should be allowed to post to flexcoders and to what extent?

What I don't want to see is Microsoft's Rich Platforms Product Manager, let alone other Microsofties, spamming our Flex group with spin on thread after thread after thread. I'm not saying we are there, I'm saying I'm concerned about it. Just reading the language, the last couple of posts are certainly exploring that territory. I think there are more appropriate venues for that than Flexcoders. Being on-topic does not change the nature of the content. Take the third example. Looking over the body of threads of this group, I can't recall seeing a nice bullet-formatted explanation like the one offered by Scott of why IE does not want to support SVG. I'm not saying this was a copy-paste thing, but it is visually very different. Adobe, Microsoft, and others have plenty of propoganda (or spam) posts, and no one is arguing that point. But I'm not going to pretend this particular content is of the same casual nature of the posts typical members of this group make. Scott uses Microsoft's participation in standards bodies and knowledge of gui research that clearly expresses an authority posture to legitimize his point. The typical posts here are overtly subjective developer opinions taken with a grain of salt. Clearly not the same content. Secondly, this is not a response from a Flex developer, doing Flex stuff every work day. (...imagining Scott with a Flex sticker on his laptop as Steve Ballmer walks by...) This is a corporate-sounding explanation, from actual Microsoft management, on an Adobe Flex group, suggesting we use ribbons in Flex, ignore SVG and thank Microsoft for their h.264 standards compliance. Any part of that sentence not accurate? I'm sure Scott is not programming in Flex, and could not possibly be confused as a member of the Flex community or an objective observer. Therefore, his responses in this group must be viewed in the approriate context, in a truthful light. Clearly not a typical poster. If Flexcoders' threads become an active corporate information outlet for Adobe competitors, I don't think that's a good thing for the group. That is my point, and I think it's a perfectly legitimate one.
RE: [flexcoders]Where does my SWF gain it's weight?
If you have version control, just do a binary search through history to see where the bloat hit (something à la git bisect, though this can be easily scripted if you use another vcs). As far as actually analyzing a .swf and figuring out the bloat, perhaps someone else will chime in.

I'm getting the following stack trace when changing the layout of some charts: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at mx.charts.chartClasses::ChartLabel/updateDisplayList()[C:\Work\flex \dmv_automation\projects\datavisualisation\src\mx\charts\chartClasses \ChartLabel.as:262] at mx.core::UIComponent/validateDisplayList()[E:\dev\3.0.x\frameworks \projects\framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:6214] at mx.managers::LayoutManager/validateDisplayList()[E:\dev\3.0.x \frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\LayoutManager.as:602] at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiation()[E:\dev\3.0.x \frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\LayoutManager.as:675] at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply() at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher2()[E:\dev\3.0.x\frameworks \projects\framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:8460] at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()[E:\dev\3.0.x\frameworks \projects\framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:8403] at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch() at flash.utils::Timer/tick() Line 262 in ChartLabel.as is the following: if(parent.rotation == 90 parent is AxisRenderer) which, combined with the error, seems to imply that this ChartLabel has no parent (!), and I've confirmed this in the debugger. I searched through my code and I'm not creating any ChartLabels directly. Any ideas why this could be happening (I can't nail down a simple set of steps to this)? Any thoughts for workarounds?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Question from a C developper
I prefer uint over Number for representing a long. To clarify, uint is just that: an unsigned 32-bit integer. A long is (typically) a signed 64-bit integral number. A uint will allow you to express numbers that are twice as large as the largest int, but that's only a small fraction of the range of long (and it ignores the negative range entirely). A Number, as mentioned before, is an IEEE-754 double (64-bit floating point number). The problem with representing longs as double is that at some point, you'll find a long x such that ((Number) x) == ((Number) x + 1) due to the properties of IEEE-754 floating point (i.e., there simply aren't enough bits in the representation to distinguish those two). I'm not sure what that long x is exactly. So basically, there is no long in ActionScript. You can approximate one with uint, you can approximate one with Number, or you can write your own BigInteger class and do the math internally. That's probably going to be quite ugly and complicated, especially since you can't use operator overloading for basic arithmetic. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Compressing messages/data: What binary/compression formats are workable in Flex?
I think (some) people were asking about the back-end to try to help you configure http compression, which is done differently with different servers.

Re: [flexcoders] Enum in Fles
This came up on this list recently and apparently it's not a great idea: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/136096 We're using Granite DS which *does* generate a mirror ActionScript Enum type, but apparently this approach is fraught with peril (because Flash--unlike Java--won't guarantee that you have only one instance of your Enum). I've reviewed our usage, and we're not doing anything where this would hurt us, but I can easily imagine problems. E.g., if you put your Enum in an ArrayCollection and later try to find it by using getItemIndex, but you pass a different Enum instance to getItemIndex, the ArrayCollection won't find it because it uses == to compare objects, and two separate instances of the same Enum are not ==. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: sunmoorthy1 sunmoort...@yahoo.com Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Enum in Fles Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:22:47 - Hi, I am using BlazeDS for communicate Flex with java application.

Re: [flexcoders] Reading compressed file in AS 3
What are the other bytes ;) ? I've run into some issues working with low-level bit-twiddling before (only on Linux, but that still may be indicative of larger problems). For example, in FP9 on Linux, sending a payload with a POST URLRequest truncates the payload data at the first 0x00 byte (!). On FP10 in Linux, that seems to have been fixed, but I'm getting a different error that I have not yet tracked down. I'm not sure if your issue is related, but I'd make sure your data makes it to the client okay before you try to decompress it.

Suppose I have a class Calendar that mirrors a server-side class (we're
not really working with Calendars, but I think this is a reasonably good
and simple analogy):
class Calendar {
public var appointments:ArrayCollection;
/* other stuff */
}
Then I want users to be able to edit and save the Calendar: I have a
CalendarEditor. Editing a Calendar is moderately complicated (e.g.,
adding, removing, or editing Appointments), so I want explicit
save/cancel steps.
When editing something really simple, this is not really a problem--when
the user saves, I propagate the view state to the object; when she hits
cancel, I don't do anything.
However, the Calendar determines what combination of Appointments is
valid (they can't overlap), and the Calendar is the dataProvider of the
CalendarEditor, so I can't fully validate a combination of Appointments
without adding them to the Calendar. This means I actually need to add
the appointments to the Calendar before it is saved so that they can be
(a) validated in combination and (b) used to update the view while the
edit is in progress. This makes save/cancel steps trickier: do I
(1) Clone the Calendar (and therefore have it provide a clone() method)
when assigned in the dataProvider, modify the clone, and assign the
dataProvider reference when the user hits save.
(2) Clone the Calendar as above, but have the Editor modify the
original, and restore the clone in case the user cancels.
(3) Something more clever?
The problem with (1) is that cloning may be somewhat complicated, and it
feels ugly to have the Editor update the dataProvider reference
(instead of modifying the actual object that was set as the data
provider). (2) hits the same issue. Perhaps the solution is to maintain
a private clone, and copy back the state on save? Or is the right answer
here that the model should not expect that the editor will update the
object it set as the dataProvider, but should instead expect an update
through a mechanism like a Mate map?
Any thoughts? (Please keep in mind that my experience with MVC

[flexcoders] Label as item renderer cuts off data when opaqueBackground specified
It looks like setting opaqueBackground on a Label used as an
itemRenderer causes the item text to be cut off when the item is
mid-scroll (at the end of the grid). This does not happen when
opaqueBackground is not set.
Small example:
mx:DataGrid dataProvider={[ foo, bar, baz, quux ]} height=90
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=category
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:Label opaqueBackground=0xFF/
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:DataGridColumn

/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
Anyone run into this?

RE: [flexcoders] design question: editing / saving complex valueobjects
I could, but display (since the CalendarEditor component expects data
from a Calendar) is still an issue, no? Perhaps I should just be doing
what the DataGrid does when outfitted with an itemEditor and just assume

unaltered object from the server if the users cancels the edit.

RE: [flexcoders] Java enum in Flex3
Thanks, Seth. I'd read the article, but your e-mail clarifies the issues. I've looked over our usage and I think we're safe for now, but this is sort of a time bomb, and it might make sense to fall back to just Strings.

This means that you have potentially many duplicate instances of each enum value floating around in the AVM. It looks like they've defined an equals() method as an attempt to work around this, but while that's a standard method defined on Java's base Object class there is no equals() method defined in the core ECMAScript/ActionScript libraries. If I were using client side enums in ActionScript, I'd expect simple equality checks to work correctly and they won't with this approach. Each of these classes will also add a bit to your swf size, but that's a minor concern unless you're using tons of enums :) I don't know what other value these classes may provide, perhaps some help with data validation, but be careful in your code anywhere you're expecting them to actually be singletons because they generally won't be.

RE: [flexcoders] Charting 1 minute data over 1 year
How about, on the main graph, showing the raw data as limited by the slider, but on the slider, show points that average over some period of time, combined with a separate series for outlying points (those outside 1 or 2 standard deviations from the mean)? This gives you an overview of the general trends, a quick indication of outliers, and an ability to zoom in on any single section fairly easily. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: Mark Easton mar...@azurebell.co.nz Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Charting 1 minute data over 1 year Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 12:16:16 +1300 Hi Maciek, Thanks for your response. Yes I have seen that example and I liked it. We still need to contend, though, with having 500,000 values to plot for the full graph. Using standard graphing that takes for ever to plot - in fact I could not get it to plot. 2000 values seems to the maximum number of points that can be plotted, or to be exact the number of pixels available on x-axis. So how can I take 500,000 points and : 1. Producre a graph that as closely as possible retains its shape? 2. Shows exceptional values If I were to massage the 500,000 points by taking sample of 250 points and averaging them, then I can miss important detail. I could use a vertical column graph with floating columns, where I plotted the line starting at min and ending at max for the plot point. Furthermore as the user used the slider to look at a smaller portion of the graph I would still want to plot at maximum pixel detail. That is if the user uses the slider to look at 1 month then that would allow me to plot points where each point was calculated from a smaller sample size.

In LD_minutes, you have a data point with used: 48060 ( 6000). When you set a

Re: [flexcoders] Re: warning on 'back' button before closing application?
Thanks, Jim. I don't think that'll work for us, but it's an interesting idea. I think one of the other problems is that by default, Firefox opens new windows in a new *tab*, thwarting the attempt to avoid the chrome. I think the onbeforeunload idea might work--we're actually already doing some other cleanup with that handler, so hopefully this should be straightforward. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: jim.abbott45 jim.abbot...@yahoo.com Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: warning on 'back' button before closing application?

Thanks, Amy. The nature of how we use charts would make a solution based around

I think the problem is that an axis is unaware of its orientation, and
left-to-right is isomorphic with bottom-to-top (to represent a cartesian chart
with the standard x and y dimensions). This makes sense for numeric and
datetime axes, but it seems counter-intuitive for a category axis. I wonder if

RE: [flexcoders] Re: CategoryAxis category order
Ok, so it looks like a (reasonably simple) way to do this is to set the
dataProvider of the CategoryAxis to originalDataProvider.toArray().reverse() on
every update of originalDataProvider. A ListCollectionView to wrap
originalDataProvider would have been cleaner, but there doesn't seem to be a
simple way to say sort the opposite of how this is sorted by default. I tried
to extend ListCollectionView into a ReverseListCollectionView by overriding
getItemAt() and itemIndex(), but it looks like CategoryAxis actually uses
IViewCursor, and I would have had to write my own. I think this solution works
reasonably well for now.

RE: [flexcoders] Which Unit Testing Framework to use?
For what it's worth, it's true that FlexMonkey is not a unit testing framework (it's more about generating functional tests for the UI), but it's fantastic (especially 0.6+). I first found out about it from this list earlier this week, and about a day later, I started moving our tests to it (from FunFX). Initially getting it working in Flex 3.0 was a pain (it is built against a library that was built against 3.1, which introduced some breaking api changes), but now that it's running, it's a great tool. It records interactions and essentially generates FlexUnit tests for you (in theory, it can generate test for any unit testing framework with asynchronous test case support, but it's currently tied into FlexUnit). I highly recommend it. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: Errol Thompson kiw...@acm.org Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Which Unit Testing Framework to use?

Re: [flexcoders] Creating an ArrayCollection object for charting
It looks like you're creating a String that looks like the code for the
object (i.e., { foo: 'bar' }), and then casting that to Object. That
won't do what you want. The thing is still a String. You need to
actually programmatically create the Object.
Alternately, you can use the JSON.decode() methods in some library
(flexlib? or maybe corelib?) after programmatically constructing that
String, but that's a completely backwards way of doing it. In the AS2
days, I believe you could also have used eval() to do this, but it's not
hard to just construct the object itself programmatically.
The code you need to change is inside the loops you've omitted.
for each row:
var currItem:Object = {};
then inside that loop, for each property you want to graph:
currItem[element.name()] = element.valueOf();
and then outside that loop, but inside the per-row loop:
simpleData.addItem(currItem);

[flexcoders] scriptable flex testing (for continuous integration)
Earlier today, a fellow flexcoder asked about flex unit testing frameworks. After looking at the suggestions, I realized that I need similar advice, but focused on tests that can be run automatically, (as opposed to running interactively). It seems fluint is pretty slick, but the ant-based test runner seems to be AIR-based and I'm reluctant to introduce that dependency. I really want to have ant-based (or some kind of scripted) automation tests that we can plug into our CI system. Having GUI runners is nice for instant gratification, but I think scriptable runners are far more useful in the long term. Flexunit itself (hence flexmonkey) seems to do this right, but it looks like it uses the standalone player? This is the blog post I'm referring to: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pmartin/archives/2006/06/flexunit_ant.html I'd like to test through the browser plugin (and not the standalone player) if possible, since we've hit some browser-specific issues before.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: radio button is chosen when passing it through httpsservice
As the docs state, selectedValue gives you the value of the value
property on the selected radiobutton. You either need to add a value
attribute to your buttons in mxml, or just use
RadioButtonGroup.selection.label (or whatever you want to pass along).
RadioButtonGroup.selection gives you a reference to the selected
RadioButton object itself, RadioButtonGroup.selectedValue is essentially
a shortcut for RadioButtonGroup.selection.value.
