[flexcoders] Re: AIR: How to connect to external proxy
Hi - I'm having a hard time with this issue. I'm guessing that I'm not the first person who has had to work behind a firewall when accessing data so I'm not sure why I can't find any documentation on the web anywhere about this. AIR says it is supposed to automatically know and use the proxy configuration from your system, i.e. default browser. In there, I don't set a manual proxy, I use the 'automatic configuration' and point it to a .dat file. Could this be where the problem is? Does AIR not know how to understand this? There's no way to set a proxy on an HTTPService component unless you are using Blaze DS or LCDS? Is this true? I'd hate to have to add that to my application just so I can get this accomplished. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Matthew" wrote: > > Hi - > > I need my AIR app to connect to an external proxy via HTTPService call and > I'm not using Blaze DS. > > How do I go about this?

Hi - I need my AIR app to connect to an external proxy via HTTPService call and I'm not using Blaze DS. How do I go about this? I can't figure it out. Any helpful tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you

When I debug my collection (recalls is the arraycollection i use) as it is
returned from the server I am seeing something like this:
recalls[0] - RecallRecord object

[flexcoders] Problem: renderProvider and hierarchical data objects
Hi -
I'm having a problem with an AdvancedDataGrid that has a DataGrid as a
renderProvider. My dataProvider for the ADG is an ArrayCollection of the below
object.
[Bindable]
public class MyRecord implements ValueObject
{
public var recall_id:int;
public var recall_type:String;
public var selected:Boolean = false;
public var qty:Number;
public var curr_qty:Number;
public var due_date:String;
public var status:String;
public var comments:String;
public var groupedTrades:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
}
Here's my renderProvider code:
In this GroupedTradesGrid I override this method to set the dataProvider:
override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
// If using the array data source, use this instead:
trades_dg.dataProvider = value;
}
The problem is that my renderProvider's method is invoked for every record in
the dataProvider of the ADG it is part of. This amounts to a brand new DataGrid
for each trade in groupedTrades...instead of 1 DataGrid that has all trades.
I'm very frustrated as I've asked around on other forums and can't seem to get
a response. Anyone have any ideas? I'm kind of at my wits end.
Thank you for any helpful tipsF!
How do I resolve this? I'm perplexed.

[flexcoders] Re: "Bookmark no longer valid" when moving items in AdvancedDataGrid
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve or troubleshoot further?
[flexcoders] "Bookmark no longer valid" when moving items in AdvancedDataGrid
I am trying to implement code to move items up and down in an
AdvancedDataGrid. When I repeat the "move up" or "move down" action
multiple times in a row I get the error below. I don't get it every
time but it will come here and there...pretty frequently. Sometimes I
can click 2, 3, even 4 times without getting an error then I click again
and there it is.
See below for the 3 functions which implement the "move up" feature.
I have tried commenting out the last line in the changeNodeHierarchy
function which re-selects the moved item. This does seem to resolve the
error but I can't be sure because the occurrence of the error is not
consistent.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Code
public function changeNodeHierarchy(dataGrid:AdvancedDataGrid):void{
var oldSelection:Array = dataGrid.selectedItems.slice();
var selection:Array = DataGridUtil.getSortedSelectedItems(dataGrid);
for each (var node:Object in selection){
moveUpNode(dataGrid, node);}
dataGrid.selectedItems = oldSelection;}
public static function moveUpNode(dataGrid:AdvancedDataGrid,
node:Object):void{var view:IHierarchicalCollectionView =
dataGrid.hierarchicalCollectionView;var children:IList =
DataGridUtil.getChildren(dataGrid, view.getParentItem(node));var
indexInParent:int = children.getItemIndex(node);if (indexInParent !=
0)moveNode(dataGrid, node, view.getParentItem(node),
indexInParent - 1);}
private static function moveNode(dataGrid:AdvancedDataGrid, node:Object,
newParent:Object, index:int):void{var
view:IHierarchicalCollectionView = dataGrid.hierarchicalCollectionView;
if (view.sort == null){var parent:Object =

[flexcoders] PROGRESS:: Re: Two-way binding via ActionScript
Ok, some progress. If I define the binding in ActionScript before adding it to
its parent container, it works halfway; meaning the second binding works, but
not the first one. It's not 2-way.
Here's the updated AS code:
var innerHBox:HBox = new HBox();
var dtc_acm:AutoCompleteModified = new AutoCompleteModified();
dtc_acm.dataProvider = data2;
dtc_acm.labelField = 'id';
BindingUtils.bindProperty( dtc_acm,'selectedIndex',cp_acm,'selectedIndex' );
var cp_acm:AutoCompleteModified = new AutoCompleteModified();
cp_acm.dataProvider = data2;
cp_acm.labelField = 'name';cp_acm.width = this.CP1.width;
BindingUtils.bindProperty( cp_acm,'selectedItem',dtc_acm,'selectedItem' );
innerHBox.addChild( dtc_acm );
innerHBox.addChild( cp_acm );
Why did the position of the code matter? Why is it only 1-way binding? Still a
little confused as to these things.
Thanks for listening,
Matt

[flexcoders] Re: Yahoo TimeInput component as Item Editor
After more testing, I have an update: I have fixed it and created a new problem. I removed a keyUp event handler, which formats the text value of the TimeInput and sets my editorDataField correctly. Now I only listen for change and updateComplete events. Now, when I delete hours, minutes, or seconds and then move outside the itemEditor, it reverts to zero: Perfect. However, I now find that if I make a change in the TimeInput and click outside (or tab or press enter), the value doesn't stick. It goes back to the old value. However, if I click within the TimeInput after making a change, it does. So, how does removing focus after making a change make me lose my value?

[flexcoders] Yahoo TimeInput component as Item Editor
Hi -- I'm having problems using the Yahoo TimeInput component as an Item Editor. I'm try to handle the situation when a user deletes numbers in the component and then clicks outside. For example, deleting the '56' in seconds Example time: 12:22:56 Normally, the numbers reset to 0, which is what I expect. However, in an item editor, when you click outside, the numbers don't reset, meaning they're just blank. As in, 12:22: I'm expecting: 12:22:00 Any ideas as to why this might be happening? I'm a bit perplexed. Thanks for any helpful tips, Matt
[flexcoders] Re: Thoughts on Flash by Steve Jobs
I'm pretty new to Flash so I don't know all the technical details under the covers (e.g. Flash is buggy on Macs, who supported what video format first, etc) but one thing that strikes me as odd in the manifesto published by Apple is the attack of Flash for not being open. That strikes me as hypocrisy. The people defending Apple on these threads are basically saying we, as developers targeting these devices, need to go learn some limited set of languages hand-picked by people at a corporation. That's not open. Further, the corporation controls the distribution of software through the Apple Store. If the corporation doesn't like our software for some reason they won't allow it. That's not open. As we all now know now the corporation will not only control the distribution of end user applications it will also be actively involved in censoring the software platforms that may be used on the devices...even to the point of not allowing Flash of J2ME, two of the most widely used platforms out there. That's not open. If you think Apple is going to win and corner the market on mobile devices for eternity go learn Objective C and whatever obscure languages they come up with. I personally am not going to put all my eggs in one basket in case Apple ends up with 20% of the market share instead of 90%. IMO truly open devices will always be out there and they have a built in advantage over proprietary technologies like i*.
[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider: dynamic columnIndex and columnSpan
I have a need to render the same item on each row of a data grid. The only difference is on each row I need to dynamically compute the columnIndex and columnSpan. On each row it can be different. For example, on row 1 start the item on column 2 and span 5 columns. One row 2 start the item on column 6 and span 2 columns. It seems these properties are not set by the item renderer, but rather by the AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider. I currently have one instance of an AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider associated with the AdvancedDataGrid. I have set the columnIndex and columnSpan there but that is not good enough. I need to change it on a row-by-row basis in the item renderer. Every time I change the value it should apply only to the current row...not to the other rows (i.e. each row has its own value). Any ideas?

[flexcoders] What server do I put my crossdomain.xml file on?
Hi - I have a Flex app that uses an HTTPService to call a Servlet. The servlet retrieves a file on another domain and passes back to Flex where they are prompted by a Windows dialog to either save or open it: It works fine locally. When deployed, I get this error: Error #2044: Unhandled SecurityErrorEvent:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://bopswdmmk1:15010/oats/FlexClient/OATSMain.swf cannot load data from http://da803299:8080/oats/FTPFile?filename=/oats/oatsftp/feed/Session.csv.01062010. I'm assuming this is because I need a crossdomain.xml file, right? If so, where do I put it? On the domain that hosts the servlet, or the domain the file is retrieved from? Crossdomain issues can be confusing and any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt
[flexcoders] Re: Is my ItemRenderer on the last Row of data?
Very nice solution, Valdhor, thank you. I do, however, need it for the very
last row of data (visible or non-visible).
In the meantime, I've added an extra property to my data that will allow me to
get what I need. So, instead of figuring out what label to put on a button by
deciphering whether the renderer is rendering the last row of data, I just use
a new 'label' property.
Maybe a bit hackish, but it works.
Thank you for your help.

[flexcoders] Re: Access Checkbox ItemRenderer in AdvancedDataGrid
Sorry, I just answered my own question
It appears that you should never be able to access an ItemRenderer directly. If
I want to find out that a checkbox is selected then I must listen for that
event in the ItemRenderer and then set a value on the 'data' property. Then,
the dataProvider is available to me with the updated value.
That's the beauty of an ItemRenderer, I guess.

[flexcoders] Why am I seeing a greyed out folder icon...
...in the first column of my AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider?? I'm using an AdvancedDataGrid with a DataGrid item renderer. I set the renderer up with a columnIndex="1" and columnSpan="0". When the row is expanded, the DataGrid is indented one column (as it should), but why am I seeing the grey folder in the first column? Does anyone have an idea what might be making this folder show up? I've seen it before when my dataProvider wasn't set up correctly. However, both datagrids are showing their data so I don't know if that's the case. Thank you for any helpful tips, Matt
[flexcoders] Passing Excel file to Java
Hi - I have a Flex UI and I want to allow a user to upload an Excel file. Since parsing Excel in Flex is quite difficult I'd rather pass it to Java (via Blaze DS) and have Java return me a CSV file. But I'm doubtful that I can pass an Excel file thru Blaze. Can I? Is there some other trickery I can use? Thanks for any tips. Matt
[flexcoders] Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP Status 404
Hi - I found that this error occurs frequently when moving a Flex project from one machine to another. In my situation, I am exporting a release build so another developer can run it on their machine; they don't have Flex, only the flash player to run it. They are receiving this error and the source is a RemoteObject call that points to a service on their machine. So, do I check the web.xml file for their machine? Or the services-config.xml on their machine? I just don't know where to start. Any tips are, of course, very much appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you.

I didn't realize I could plug in an FTP address into URLRequest. Regardless, I just found out he have write access but not read access on that server. Anyway, I think I can use the byteArray class to read a byte stream but is there some type of library for creating a TXT file out of that? Thanks for your help.

Hi - I'm working with a Java developer and trying to figure out how to download files off a server. Because the server doesn't accept HTTP requests (only FTP), I can't link to the file. The Java developer wants to send the file to me as a byteStream. Is this possible? How do I transform that to a .txt file? Is there a better solution? Thanks for any tips. Matt

[flexcoders] verticalSeparatorSkin with an AdvancedDataGrid
Hi - I'm trying to put a 5px space inbetween AdvancedDataGrid rows, but I don't want any space between the AdvancedDataGrid and its renderer (another DataGrid). I tried creating a spacer gif and using that as the verticalSeparatorSkin in the outer AdvancedDataGrid but it puts a space not only between the rows but between the renderer as well. Is there another way of accomplishing this? Thanks for any tips.
[flexcoders] Re: AdvancedDataGrid itemOpen() to resize Container
I figured out one way to do it:
private function openRow():void{
var windowShade:WindowShade = this as
WindowShade;
windowShade.height += appColl.source.length *
20;
}
The problem seemed to be that I was referencing the parent container
incorrectly. The thing I want to do now on the itemOpen() event of the
AdvancedDataGrid is to get the height of its renderProvider (another
AdvancedDataGrid) and then add that to the overall height.
I've perused the properties available from the AdvancedDataGridEvent but all I
get is access to the current item and an array of renderProviders, not the
height of the renderProvider itself.
Is there a way to get access to the height of an AdvancedDataGrid's
renderProvider?
Thank you.
[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid itemOpen() to resize Container
Hi, I have a Windowshade as a root component; the child is an AdvancedDataGrid. I want the Windowshade to scale as a user expands/collapses a row in the DataGrid. So I trap the itemOpen and itemClose events and I try to adjust the height of the Windowshade like this: this.owner.measuredHeight = grid.height; this.owner.measuredWidth = grid.width; But it does nothing. I thought using measuredHeight and measuredWidth was the way to go when resizing at run-time. Has anyone come across this before? Any tips are, again, very much appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: truncateToFit() and concatenated Strings
Thanks for your responses. I did try that link (and that class) but it appears
to replace the entire string with '...' instead of just the ending characters.
And the conditional it uses to test if truncation is needed is testing for
height values??? That I don't understand:

UITextField.TEXT_HEIGHT_PADDING);

Hi - I have a Label with truncateToFit set to true and a maxWidth.

[flexcoders] ASP.NET .ashx handler - POST variables not working
I created a web handler (.ashx) in ASP.NET and it takes 4 post variables, all
strings.
When I manually type in the URL with the variables
(name=this&email=that&comments=this) it works fine, but when I try to POST
those variables in an HTTPRequest in Flex, my web handler can't "see" the
variables. It breaks on the first line and says, there is no "name" variable,
i.e. - no instance of an object.
What am I doing wrong? Does the Flex Request have to be formatted differently
for .NET? It works fine in PHP.
public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {
string sName = context.Request.QueryString["name"].ToString();
string sEmail = context.Request.QueryString["email"].ToString();
string sType = context.Request.QueryString["type"].ToString();
string sComment = context.Request.QueryString["comment"].ToString();

[flexcoders] Tile control: Border style and Zoom
I'm using a tile control to display an image with a short description to the right of it. Basically everything is contained with in an HBox and the I'm programmtically adding that to the tile: thisTile.addchild(myHBox) I'd like to have some sort of visual indicator to let the user know which item they clicked on. Whether that be a red border, or a "glow" effect, or whatever. My question is, how do I do that? I don't see an easy way of setting that in any sort of item clickevent. Also, I wanted to have some sort of Zoom or magnifier so that when they hovered over the image it would be bigger...but can I do that? If I set the width/height on my hbox to 300/100 and then add that as an item to my Tile...can I create some sort of zoom or magnify effect whereby that image would be larger than the confines of its parent? Thanks in advance - you all are always so helpful!
[flexcoders] What's your favorite Tip/Trick ?
I've been using .NET for years and recently started developing in Flex. One thing I've noticed (and maybe it's because I'm new) is that I have to write out just about everything. There were so many things in .NET that the IDE would handle for me. Like I could write a function, like DoThis(), and then right-click on DoThis() and the IDE would ask me if I wanted to generated a method stub. I know that's not earth-shattering, but there were a few things here...a few things there that shaved off some seconds and/or minutes and just generally speed up development. I haven't run across anything like that in the FlexBuilder IDE - so my question is: What's your favorite tip/trick for speeding up development? Do you have some favorite text snippets that you keep handy? Or do you you know some trick in the IDE that will save me some repetition? Or better yet, is there a site or list out there that covers this topic? Thanks to all! Have a great weekend!
[flexcoders] Re: Debugger won't break on HTTP Service result function
Well, I figured it out. I'm fairly new to Flex so please hold your laughter. What happened is that I was calling 3 HTTPService requests to the database and then calling an internal function to work with the data I had received. What I didn't realize was that Flex makes those calls asynchronously (I know, I know - stop laughing). So, I was hitting an error in my internal function because it was trying to work with an XMLListCollection that hadn't been populated yet (it was null). I would put a breakpoint in my result function, but of course, the Flex app had already tripped up before the results were returned. So now I'm "daisy-chaining" my HTTPServices so that the 2nd one is called from within the 1st calls result function. And the 3rd within the 2nd, and then finally calling my internal function from within the 3rd result function...if that makes any sense. Anyway, thanks for everyone's help.

[flexcoders] Debugger won't break on HTTP Service result function
I have a component that I'm adding to my Flex project and it makes 3 HTTP Service calls. On the result="" I have listed a function and inside that function I have created a breakpoint. When I go into debug, it won't stop at that breakpoint. It's like it's not calling the result function. I know that the app is making the calls and getting the resulting XML (using Firebug). I can set a breakpoint anywhere else in the app and it will stop...just not on the result or fault HTTP service functions. Also, I only have this problem on this one component. This doesn't happen anywhere else in the application. I would paste some code in here for you to evaluate - but I doubt it will be useful. If I change the name of the function in the result="" then Flex warns me that I'm referencing a function that doesn't exist. So when I retype it to match the function below...the warning disappears. The only other thing I can mention is that I "accidentally" installed Flash 10 player, so I uninstalled and then installed Flash 9 Active-X Debugger. But again...I only have this issue on one component. Any initial thoughts/ideas? Thanks to all!

quick update; the coordinatesStr line should be this:
var coordinatesStr:String = gml.child("gml:coordinates")[0].toXMLString();
anyway, that's what is strange. i can see the gml XML object in the
debugger and all of its nodes. i step into the coordinatesStr line
using the debugger and all is fine and then i step again and that's
when i get the term is undefined error. but it doesn't show what term.
obviously, it's not 'gml' as that object exists, so it must the name
of the node , "gml:coordinates"...i'm guessing.
thanks.

[flexcoders] accessing node via XML.child()
hi.
i'm trying to access a node using myXML.child("nodeName") and it's throwing an
error.
i create my XML object by passing a string as an arg in a method invocation:
gmlParser.convertStringToXML(event.data)
public function convertStringToXML(s:String):Array{
gml = new XML(s);
var coordinatesStr:String = gml.child("gml:coordinates");
}
i get the error message: 'a term is undefined and has no properties'
what does that mean? can't i retrieve by node name using the child() method?
any tips are appreciated.
thanks. -- matt.

[flexcoders] Flex bug... no resize event fired when width changes??
Anyone else seen this issue, where the resize event fails to fire? As it happens, this appears to be a symptom and not the bug itself. If you resize the control both height and width, the new height value comes in correctly, but the width value remains the same at times. Hence the symptom... the width hasn't changed according to internal values, hence the event shouldn't fire. So the bug isn't the event not firing, its that the new value for width isn't getting set. Thanks Matthew
[flexcoders] Override failing.... between MXML base class and AS3 subclass
Perhaps I shopuld not be trying to do this, but here it is anyway... I have a "compound" MXML component that I have created that has a few MXML children and 2 states. It serves as an agnostic visual control that Value Objects get assigned to for dipslay. I want to reuse the MXML control several times over, so I have subclassed it in an AS3 class. Everything works fine except... when I override functions from the base class in the descendant class, it is failing to override. Meaning I have a button in the base class that calls its own function, which is overriden in this "instance" but flex fails to route my event to the overriden function... it sends it to my placeholder function in the base class. I realize that Flex does not support Abstract functions yet, but what I am trying to do should work without requiring "abstract". Any insights are appreciated. Matthew
[flexcoders] FlexBuilder bug: failing to report location of errors, warnings and hints
My FlexBuilder IDE has been broken for about 3 weeks now, and I have chosen to ignore it as all obvious fixes failed to right the ship. At some point 3 weeks ago, FlexBuilder completely botched my project files and left me in a state where I could no longer launch the application. So I created a new project from scratch (as a shell), ported the code over and got working again. Everything works fine now except the debugger which shows me the errors and warnings but fails to report which .as or .mxml file the error occured in. It only reports the line number, and of course the links (dbl click to go there) fail, as Flex Builder is missing the filename and itself has no idea where to send me to. I know others have faced this issue already, but the fix remains unclear. Any help appreciated, because it is tiring surfing the files to find the lines of code taht are failing. Thanks Matthew
[flexcoders] Auto generate AS3??? from MXML

[flexcoders] ZLIB compression standard within Flex (Flash)??
I have been spinning cycles trying to get the uncompress function of ByteArray to process a zipped xml string that I am sending from a custom web server. I have read up on the process and understand that Flex ByteArrays support zlib compression and I believe they expect to find an Adler checksum within the zipped string as well. Problem is that there are 31 flavors of compression to choose from server side and I can not get any to match what Flex ByteArray decompress expects??? For example, there are these options of compession within zlib... CompressionLevel = ( zcNone, zcFastest, zcDefault, zcMax, zcLevel1, zcLevel2, zcLevel3, zcLevel4, zcLevel5, zcLevel6, zcLevel7, zcLevel8, zcLevel9 ); Strategy = ( zsDefault, zsFiltered, zsHuffman, zsRLE, zsFixed ); ~ The ultimate goal here is to grab 5mb xml files that are first zipped, then encrypted that have been cached on the server. I have flex unencrypting data successfully, but I can not get Flex to recognize and unzip any flavor of Zip that I send to it. Any thoughts? Thanks Matthew

Thank you for the responses. I tried putting the installer disk in and it worked! Luckily I had an installer disk and I hadn¹t just purchased the download. It¹s pretty scary to see just how quickly Adobe is not willing to help and turns it¹s back on it¹s customers (unless you are a part of a large company with an expensive service plan). --Matthew On 4/18/07 8:40, "Johannes Nel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > this is an eclipse issue me thinks as i had this problem with an eclipse > version of mine that did not have the FB plugin installed > On 17 Apr 2007 06:00:18 -0700, Eric Swann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >> >> >> I experienced the same issue and put the installer disk into my cdrom when >> prompted.

[flexcoders] My first Flex experiment. Styling weirdness.
Hello all,
I built my first Flex page the other day. I must say, everything
went really smoothly except for one thing. I was trying to style a
ToggleButtonBar. I even got the styling code from the Style Explorer
app... where it seemed to work just fine. Here's the code:
ToggleButtonBar {
horizontalGap: -1;
buttonStyleName: "nhButtonBarButton";
firstButtonStyleName: "nhFirstLastButtons";
lastButtonStyleName: "nhFirstLastButtons";
selectedButtonTextStyleName: "nhSelectedButton";
}
.nhButtonBarButton {
highlightAlphas: 0, 0;
fillAlphas: 1, 1, 1, 1;
fillColors: #ff5f37, #ff5f37, #ff, #ff;
borderColor: #ff5f37;
themeColor: #ff5f37;
}
.nhFirstLastButtons {
cornerRadius:20;
}
.nhSelectedButton {
}
The really weird thing is that the horizontalGap style is taking, and
so is the cornerRadius style in the .nhFirstLastButtons class.
However, nothing from the .nhButtonBarButton is working!!
Eventually, I just gave up, moved on, figured I'd get to it later...
well, it's later. Any help?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Looking for Developer - Flex Charting
We seek to developer to help us to create data-driven flash charts for our website. Some details: * Data is drawn dynamically from MySQL and/or XML (on a LAMP server). * We will need three different chart types: (1) Area Charts, (2) Bar Charts, (3) Balloon Charts. * Appearance of charts is very important; they need to match our site. So we need someone attentive to visual detail. Samples of desired appearance: - Sample Bar chart: http://www.picador.net/share/BarChart.png - Sample Balloon Chart: http://www.picador.net/share/BalloonChart.png * We'd like for the charts to have some rudimentary animation: bars growing, balloons expanding, etc. And we'd like to provide the dynamic timescale slider shown in some of the flex charting examples (essentially a zoom-in/zoom-out function), ex: http:// examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/dashboard/dashboard.html . * Project is a non-profit, so we have a limited budget; but it is a very cool site and a very interesting and worthwhile cause.

Re: [flexcoders] DOT NET 2.0
We develop Flex 1.0 application using ASP.NET 1.0 and 2.0 Web Services. This works extremely well. Flex 1.0 requires a java server to serve the Flex application itself. While I haven't used 2.0 yet, what I have read indicates that you do not need a java server. The 2.0 development tools can compile the application directly into a SWF file that can be served just like any normal Flash file. So with Flex 2.0, you should should be able to use ASP.NET 2.0 Web Services without the need for a Java server. -- Matthew On 4/4/06, sakgroups <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We are building a web application using dot net 2.0. > > I saw the demo of FLEX 2.0 [Rich Internet Application] and was really > impressed with its UI.

[flexcoders] Re: Selecting/Unselecting Rows In A Datagrid
One solution is to build an array of the rows you want selected, and
then set the selectedIndices property of the datagrid to that array,
thusly:
function rowSelector( flipFlag:String ):Void {
var aSelectedRows=Array();
for ( var i=0; i < myDataGrid.length; i++ ) {
if ( myDataGrid.rows[i].item.foo == flipFlag || flipFlag == '' ) {
aSelectedRows.push(i);
}
}
myDataGrid.selectedIndices = aSelectedRows;
}
Works like a charm. Props to cfbrianevans.
Thanks,

[flexcoders] Selecting/Unselecting Rows In A Datagrid
I'd like to programatically set rows as selected or unselected in a
datagrid. For example, select all the rows where a certain column has
the value x. What is the proper way to do this? I've tried setting the
flags that seems like they should do what I want, but to no avail.
This is my latest attempt, which throws no errors, but neither does it
select or unselect any rows.
function rowSelector( flipFlag:String ):Void {
for ( var i=0; i < myDataGrid.length; i++ ) {
if ( myDataGrid.rows[i].item.foo == flipFlag || flipFlag == '' ) {
myDataGrid.listContent.listRow[i].state='selected';
} else {
myDataGrid.listContent.listRow[i].state='normal';
}
}
}
Any pointers? Perhaps I need to force the datagrid to redraw itself
after I set the selected rows? Or maybe I'm going about it all
wrong...you tell me. I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this,
but I'm low on reference material here, and Google hasn't helped me any.
Thanks,
Matthew

Re: [flexcoders] Reorder tree via dragging
As I am currently working with this, I can say that
dataForFormat("source") will give you a reference to the source object
of the drag drop operation. I am not sure about the "items" one
though. I've read mixed documentation, some say its
"treeItems". Any rate, there's a formats array in the event
object that you can itterate through and see all of the available
formats if needed.

Subject: [flexcoders] Reorder tree
via dragging
So I'm trying to make a tree which can reorder its nodes by
dragging
them. One of the things I wanted to do is prevent
a parent item from
being dragged on to any of its children, and to
show that during the
dragOver event.
In order to calculate whether the source is being
dragged on to any
of its offspring, I've been comparing the
event.dragSource.dataForFormat("treeItems")
first to
firstValue=event.target.getDropParent().getTreeNodeAt
(event.target.getDropLocation()) then recursively
to the parents of
firstValue.
This apparently doesn't work because dataForFormat
seems to hand me a
copy of the items being dragged instead of an
actual reference, so
the two values are never equal. I did note that
the items that
dataForFormat give me, do contain references to
the real parents,
data and other objects, it is just that the items
themselves are
copies for some reason.
What I ended up doing is something like the
following:
if(checkParentDrop(myowncustom.TreeUtils.findDataItemNode
(view.TemplateAssemblyTree,
dragItems[i].getData())
, event.target.getDropParent().getTreeNodeAt
(event.target.getDropLocation(
action =
"">
private function checkParentDrop(source,
node):Boolean
{
if(source == node)
return true;
if(node.getParent()!=null)
return checkParentDrop(source, node.getParent());
else
return false;
}
public static function findDataItemNode(tree:mx.controls.Tree,
o:Object):TreeNode
... recursively check the entire tree for the same
getData()
reference ...
So basically instead of comparing items from
event.dragSource.dataForFormat("treeItems"),
i have to recursively
look them up by the reference they contain to
their getData()
information, to get the actual reference to the
TreeNode which I then
compare to the drop target and its ancestors for
referential equality.
This is horribly ugly, but it works. Is there a
better way that
people have stumbled across to validate
tree->self drags? I wish that
dataForFormat handed over references instead of
copies!
(sorry if this was discussed before; I'm
apparently bad at finding
previously discussed topics in this list!)

Re: [flexcoders] bug of the minute: MenuBar, Scaling, and Sub Menus
Thanks for the additional information. Since I do understand a bit of how flash is being used to present these UI elements, I do understand, thanks to you, why there's no parent/child relationship. For me, its just really unfortunate. Because of the difficulty I have had with the scaling of an entire application, I have had to drop it from the requirements for this application. My superiors were not thrilled, but they can easily see that its just devouring precious time. For now, I'm just ramping all of the fonts very large for the whole application. For those of us who can actually see, we're going to want to take a step back from the monitor, but its all I could come up with on my current time line. I'll explore scaling the whole application again once I get this version out. Thanks again for the information.

It's the same for ComboBox: the dropdown is not a child of the component.If you decide to subclass the components to add scaling support, youwould have to override the setters for "scaleX" and "scaleY" and apply the same value to the dropdown movie clips. This may not be trivialfor both components, since the dropdowns are created only when needed. Thankfully the source for both ComboBox and MenuBar is available in FlexforFlash.zip, so if you're truly determined you can do it.If you want to scale the entire app, then you should simply set scaleXand scaleY on the Application element. That takes care of the menusand combo boxes. --Flexcoders Mailing ListFAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txtSearch Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] bug of the minute: MenuBar, Scaling, and Sub Menus
Uhm... to get right to the point... That's Crazy. Why are MenuItems and Menus not children?? I'm dealing with an application that I am trying desperately to use scaling in to make it easier for visually impaired to use. But at every turn scaling seems to be broken. I just found that with a ComboBox control scaling is also broken. The control itself is fine, but the drop down list when clicked on is not scaled properly. To say that this is frustrating would be a gross understatement. The only thing I can think of that would be acceptable would be to create my own menubar, menu, and menuitem controls all based on the normal one and build the functionality into them that should have been there in the first place. I'd have to do that with every control that was not implelented properly for scaling. That would be a monumental amount of work for me with my unfamiliarity of the internals of these controls. At the point I am really starting to regret my decision to use Flex for this application. I wish there was some help I could ask for, but at this point I am getting the impression that this is just not something Flex is made to do. Thanks for what help you could provide Manish, my anger is directed that Flex Development Team, not you. Why have scalex and scaley properties when on many components they are seriously broken?

When you click on aMenuItem, it "pops up" a Menu -- the Menu is _not a child_ of theMenuItem or the MenuBar. That's the reason why the scaling does not apply to the menus.Your only option is to scale the menus individually (access them usingthe getItemAt function, etc.). You'd also have to adjust the positionof the menus.--Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txtSearch Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] bug of the minute: MenuBar, Scaling, and Sub Menus
I am using embeded fonts, but its the whole sub menu that is not scaling. You can see the difference in the borders and the margins around the text. It's really easy to see that the sub menus are not scaling at all when you do a test where the menu has been scaled to 400%.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex, C# Web Services, and Dates
Well, Since Flex isn't automatically parsing the date correctly. It might be best for me to change the type on the Web Service side to string, manually call the .ToString() method for the date there. Send the date as a string, then use the DateFormatter as you did and manually parse it on the Flex side. I played around with it a bit more and I finally figured out what was going on. Basically, if the date contains milliseconds, then Flex parses it correctly. If not, then it fails to parse it. I tried an experiment where I added 1 millisecond to the values I was pulling from the database, and then all worked fine. Since adding and removing a millisecond to make parsing work seems a little too hackish, I think I'll try the string method I just mentioned. It's a real problem though that I hope is fixed in 2.0. All of the work I do involves C# web services. Until now I haven't had a problem. But this is a pretty big wart. -- MatthewOn 6/27/05, Matt Chotin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Yes, please try to play around with this and if you figure out what's up file a bug report (http://www.macromedia.com/go/wish).

Tweak the WSDL to use xsd:date instead of xsd:dateTime, point your Flex app to the modified WSDL, and see if that addresses the issue. There are lots of posts I found on Google regarding .NET's dateTime serialization woes…and it seems to, by default, serialize in varying formats depending on resolution and time zone. To be fair, the formats it is generating should be properly parsed/processed on the Flex side based on the following: Also, I experimented a bit with the DateFormatter object's parseDateString method and it worked properly on all of the formats you generated Seems like there's a disconnect somewhere inside of the deserialization in Flex, but I can't be certain.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex, C# Web Services, and Dates
Following up on my last email... Here's some examples of different
dates providing slightly different formats coming from the web service:
Hardcoded to DateTime.Now (this is the only one that seems to work with flex):
<StartDate>2005-06-27T18:40:41.390625-07:00StartDate>
Hardcoded to new DateTime(), no parameters:
<StartDate>0001-01-01T00:00:00StartDate>
Hardcoded to new DateTime(2006, 6, 1, 0, 0, 0):
<StartDate>2006-06-01T00:00:00StartDate>
Reading value from database:
<StartDate>2005-06-01T00:00:00StartDate>
I even tried converting to local time using dt.toLocalTime():
2005-05-31T17:00:00-07:00
this actually seems like its closest to the DateTime.Now attempt, but
it is still not recognized by flex. It seems like flex needs to
have the milliseconds there? Anyway, I sure hope someone else has
a clue what to do, this one really has me stumped. I'm close to
coding my own date object to hold the year, month, day, hour, minutes,
and seconds values seprately and turn them back into a date once flex
has them. Again, this seems a little extreme for a situation
where it should just work... any thoughts?

[flexcoders] Flex, C# Web Services, and Dates
Hey all, I sure hope someone out there can make sense of the chaos that seems to be dates. I recently discovered the hard way that flex dates are in UTC by default when you create them, when you send them as a parameter to a C# web service, you need to use the .ToLocalTime() method (in c#) because, by default, C# uses local times. I was trying to compare a date created in Flex as: var dtFlex:Date = new Date(1974, 0, 26); // should be jan 26th 1974, flex months are indexed at 0 on the C# side it was: DateTime dtCSharp = new Date(1974, 1, 26); // should be jan 26th 1974, c# months are indexed at 1 when I passed dtFlex to the web service, then on the C# side tried to compare it to dtCSharp, they were not coming back equal. Reason was, inside, Flex actually made its date 01/26/1974 8:00 AM (I'm on pacific time here). It was automatically making the date in UTC format. To actually make the comparison I had to do this: if (dtFlex.ToLocalTime() == dtCSharp)... That was headache enough. My main problem though is when I go the other direction, where I call a C# web service that returns a date. In the web service explorer in flex it recognizes the result property as a date. Well, sorta, it actually says "dateTime" for the type. I see that's not exactly the same as Date, and I imagine thats part of the problem. Anyway, when I try to display that result it evaluates to "Invalid Date". When I look at the Network Monitor to see what is actually being returned by the web service, this is what I see: 1974-01-26T00:00:00 Now I'm assuming that this is not the format Flex expects for a date? If not, I guess it's easy enough to make my own date parser, but it seems like this should just work. Is there some specific format I am supposed to return the date in from the C# side? Or is there something I need to do on the Flex side to make this equation happy? Please, any help would be appreciated, I'm pulling my hair out here. Dates are only fun if they are with a woman... :( -- Matthew -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
