[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!
[flexcoders] Bind ComboBox to returning XML (HOW TO)
Need help with a combobox... I have a combobox that I want to load from a database. The text will be a name, and the value will be an integer. That's it - pretty straightforward. Just can't seem to figure it out. The xml will look like this: Thanks so much in advance for your help!!!
