Re: [flexcoders] Do you use a Mac?

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.

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.

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!)

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?

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.

If you don't need HH:MM:SS
resolution, try this for a test:
Generate your WSDL, and save it to a
file. 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
mx:Script
![CDATA[
function
parseDateString(str:String):Date
{
return
DateFormatter.parseDateString(str);
}
function
doTest() {
alert(dateFmt.format(parseDateString(2005-06-01T00:00:00)));
alert(dateFmt.format(parseDateString(2005-06-27T18:40:41.390625-07:00)));
alert(dateFmt.format(parseDateString(2005-05-31T17:00:00-07:00)));
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:DateFormatter
id=dateFmt formatString={'M/D/Y' + newline +
'JJ:NN:SS'} /
Seems like there's a disconnect
somewhere inside of the deserialization in Flex, but I can't be certain.
Sounds like it is worth creating a bug report.

well, the WSDL says:

Because I am close to pulling all my hair out on this one, I
decided to try something on the server end. In the web method, I hard

things are a little wierd on both ends. Depending on the date value on
the server end, the server is actually sending the XML formatted
differently. I am more confused now than ever. Does any one here
have any experience using C# Web Services with Flex using the C# DateTime
type? I would be interested in some best practices type guidlines.
However the DateTime.Now value is delt with, it works, but any other date value
I create doesn't work. It's quite confusing...

Re: [flexcoders] Flex, C# Web Services, and Dates
well, the WSDL says:
s:element minOccurs=1 maxOccurs=
1 name=StartDate
type=s:dateTime /
Because I am close to pulling all my hair out on this one, I decided to
try something on the server end. In the web method, I hard coded
the StartDate propery to return DateTime.Now. To my surpise, this
actually worked. I then tried hardcoding it to return new
DateTime(2005, 6, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0). This produced the original
error. It seems like things are a little wierd on both
ends. Depending on the date value on the server end, the server
is actually sending the XML formatted differently. I am more
confused now than ever. Does any one here have any experience
using C# Web Services with Flex using the C# DateTime type? I
would be interested in some best practices type guidlines.
However the DateTime.Now value is delt with, it works, but any other
date value I create doesn't work. It's quite confusing...

is Invalid Date. When I look at the object that was created

From the network monitor, here's the date piece of the xml recieved in the SOAP

as you can see, it doesn't even have the proper value in it. I've created
an onResult event handler to try to print out the value and all I get from
obj.StartDate is Invalid Date.
This one really has me stuck guys. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

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):
StartDate2005-06-27T18:40:41.390625-07:00/StartDate
Hardcoded to new DateTime(), no parameters:
StartDate0001-01-01T00:00:00/StartDate
Hardcoded to new DateTime(2006, 6, 1, 0, 0, 0):
StartDate2006-06-01T00:00:00/StartDate
Reading value from database:
StartDate2005-06-01T00:00:00/StartDate
I even tried converting to local time using dt.toLocalTime():
StartDate2005-05-31T17:00:00-07:00/StartDate
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] Strange Behavior with Font Embeding
I am getting wierd results while trying to embed fonts in my application. Many times it reports:
Warning /Penguin/SurveyProperties/EditSurvey.mxml:53
Font not found at: file:C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/webapps/flex/Penguin/SurveyProperties/VERDANA.TTF
This simply isn't true. The font file IS there and I made sure that the permissions on the file were barn door open wide.
Here's the embed lines I am using:
mx:Style
@font-face
{
fontFamily: VerdanaBold;
src:url(VERDANA.TTF);
font-weight: bold;
}
@font-face
{
fontFamily: VerdanaNormal;
src:url(VERDANA.TTF);
font-weight: normal;
}
/mx:Style
I have found this to work fine on some apps, and on others it just
breaks like this. I cannot see what the difference is between the
working apps and the non-working apps... any insight would be greatly
appreciated, thank you,

[flexcoders] Re: Strange Behavior with Font Embeding
I guess I should say disregard, but there seems to be a bug here.
I finally gave up and stopped concentrating on it and went on to
another section of the application in the same file. After making
another alteration the file and rebuilding, everything seems to work
fine. Even though I was telling it to rebuild before, it didn't
seem to be really rebuilding. Only after making some kind of edit
to the .mxml file did it embed the font correctly.
So the way it looks like I encountered this bug, was that I added the
embed lines to the mxml file and compiled before I actually copied the
font file to the location. It correctly displayed the error
message. I then copied the font file to where it should be and
attempted to rebuild. Then it kept displaying the error
message. The error message didn't go away until I made some other
edit to the mxml file which seems to have triggered it to really do a
rebuild, which it didn't seem to be really doing before. I hope
this helps someone else...

[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: StartDate1974-01-26T00:00:00/StartDate 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!

Re: [flexcoders] Scale the size of a whole application
Well, I've tried what you suggested:
Stage.scaleMode = showAll.
But I get very strange results. The application is scaling up,
but not as desired. It's actually getting larger than the browser
window. It's really wierd and hard to describe. I get the
feeling that this use was never intended
If you have some suggestions on how to actually use this and get it to
work right, I'd be very interested. Otherwise, I'll stay with my
scaling routines which are similar to what Manish suggested, only not
quite as elegant. ;)

I believe Flex has it set to
noScale, and thus uses the Flex containers to draw the change in size
rather than have the SWF scale. Try that, see if it works for you.

Subject: [flexcoders] Scale the size of a whole

This may sound like a odd request, but is there a way to scale the size
of a whole application so that all of the contents get larger? The
functionality that I desire is similar to what happens to a Flash movie
when you make its size bigger. I'd like to design an application at a
fixed resolution like 800x600. If the user then makes the web browser
bigger, I'd like the contents to scale up in size. Right now, with the
layout managers I basically just end up with more space. A lot of it
is wasted empty space. I have a specific user that is mildly vision
impaired. He makes everything on his screen gigantic. His monitor is
a nice 21 flat panel at 1600x1200 resolution. I'd like him to be able
to maximize the application to 1600x1200 there by making everything in
the application which is designed at 800x600 scale up to that size.
Anyone have any suggestions? I was a little long winded there, but I
hope I've accurately described my problem and the type of solution I'm
looking for. Any other suggestions on how I can deal with visibility
impaired users would also

Re: [flexcoders] Internal popups
Yeah, you were just a little quicker than me getting that one posted. Mine is pretty much the same solution:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

tw.visible = !tw.visible;

Hmm still not what
I'm looking for. I guess what I would like is for something like this
(what the previous responder sent) to work:
?xml version=1.0
encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application
xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml
mx:Button click=toggleVis() label=click

/mx:TitleWindow

function toggleVis(){
tw.visible = !tw.visible;
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
But I need the TitleWindow to
behave not like a standard interface element (one that takes up space in the
layout), but like a normal popup window, one that appears above the content at
a specified location.
It looks like using another MXML
file is the way to go

It's compiled into the final SWF
so there isn't technically a dependency.
However, if you want a simple
popup, you could use an Alert.
check out Alert.show for that,
and for loading internal components as popups, look up
PopUpManager.createPopUp

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamic CSS
Well, the solutions that were suggested to me were extrememly programmatic. Setting each of the properties for the CSS file manually. I really didn't like that solution. It worked fine for adjusting the sizes of a few things, but for implementing a full theme style sheet it was just too much. Another along the same lines, used an xml file to define the css and write a small reader to takes that xml file and applies the values to the appropriate css properties. I tried this, and it worked very well, but I still didn't like that the file was no longer a CSS file. My designers are a bit fragile and they didn't like the idea of editing an xml file instead of the css file they were already familiar with. So, I came up with something quite hackery that I'm not all that proud of. It consists of multiple applications. One for each style sheet. In each application there are only a few lines, one of which is the one that includes the css file. That file then includes the common Main component which is my application. So I have a single loader application, that looks up the users profile and determines their theme setting. It redirects to the appropriate mini-app that contains the css definition and loads the main app inside of that. Like I said, its not pretty, but it does what we want, and the graphics people can still work with their normal css files. I hope this helps. I have already sent in a request to MM that dynamic loading of css files be added to a future version of Flex, but I have no idea if that will ever be a reality. I don't know how much value they put in those requests. -- MatthewOn 4/25/05, kaibabsowats [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thx for your reply, I only see our posts when searching for Dynamic CSS.Any standard approaches to the Dynamic CSS limitation?--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Matthew Shirey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No you cannot.

Re: [flexcoders] Large Fonts Components
Okay, Here's what I tried:
import mx.controls.MenuBar;
class MyMenuBar extends MenuBar
{
function measure():Void
{
super.measure();
var item = getMenuAt(0);
var myTF = _getTextFormat();
var txt = item.text;
var textExt = myTF.getTextExtent2(txt);
var textH = textExt.height;
preferredHeight = textH;
}
}
I had to modify a couple of things from your example. First the
_measurePreferredHeight property doesn't seem seem to exist for the
MenuBar. I just used preferredHeight property.
Additionally, I couldn't find any way to iterate through the menus in
the menu bar. Maybe I'm missing something, but I read through the
API docs on the MenuBar pretty thoroughly. What I wrote seems to
work. It assumes there's at least one menu item and bases the
size off of that item. I my case its still making the menu item a
little short since the first item doesn't have any letters that reach
below the fonts baseline.
So my question now is... Is there a way to iterate through the menus in
a menubar? Oh, I also found this bit of info in the docs:
---
measure
measure(
)
:
Void
The MenuBar assumes a default height of 550x22. It does not measure its contents todetermine its size.
---
Seems a like a bit of an oversight to me, but at least it is documented.

Just be careful about how much you store in the SharedObject. By default the client is set to accept up to 100k A 'Huge' dataset might exceed that.

Re: [flexcoders] beginners question about sending data to custom flex components
That's actually more difficult than it sounds... Any time it has
happened I have coded around it. If the problem occurs again,
I'll be sure to share. At this point though, I simply avoid using
functions for data binding because of the problems I've had. If
another situation comes up where a function makes more sense, I'll give
it a try again and report any problems.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Radio Button Custom Component
That does make sense. It's a bit of pain for what we're trying to do.
But we'll find a workaround. We're dealing with a ton of dynamic
data that is being used to generate in turn a dynamic interface.
We'll just have to figure out a way to get the RadioButtons grouped in
the same container. Thanks for the detailed explanation,
-- Matthew
On 4/14/05, Jason Szeto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Let me explain what is going on here and why it has been done this way.
Let's say you've got a MXML Component called myChoice. It contains three
RadioButtons, called rA, rB, rC. You assign each of these a groupName
called myGroup. It also has a member variable called dataProvider. The way
that you use this component is that you set the dataProvider property, which
then sets the label and data properties of each of your three RadioButtons.
Now in your main application, you instantiate three of these myChoice
components, called cA, cB, cC.
In this application, would you expect all nine RadioButton be part of a
single group called myGroup? No, you'd expect that there would be three
groups and that the RadioButtons within each component are only a part of
the internal group of the component. The same thing with the dataProvider
property. You wouldn't expect that this property would be shared among all
three components.
What is happening under the covers is that a RadioButtonGroup with the id
myGroup is created as a member variable of the myChoice component.
So in short, radio buttons can only share a RadioButtonGroup if they are
within the same class. (Remember that each MXML file is its own class.)

Re: [flexcoders] ActionScript Components
I think things are a bit messy for many reasons. In this casebecause for each component I also have a separate action script file.Between that and having the actionscript embeded in the mxml files it seemed like the lesser of two evils. On top of that Flex Builder doesn't seem to manage its resources very well and performance declines rapidly when you have many files open. My current project is starting to have a lot of files. I have found that you just need to shut Flex Builder down at least half way through the day and restart it to clear the resources. I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio since it was version 1. I think its just that, in todays world of programming, I am used to things being a little more refined, organized, and working withmuch higher performance. Don't get me wrong, I love Flex. I started working with web applications using Perl on our Unixmachines. As bad as it was the weakest link was always that the end result was HTML.Flex is the solution the web has been waiting for all this time. I just find the development process and environmentmore than alittle lacking. It would help if the UI actually associated the AS file with the MXML file visually. Similar to the way ASP.NET does code-behind representations in the project explorer. Right now the best I can do is use the same root name for a components MXML and AS files so they appear next to each other in the file list. It would also be nice if the while editing the AS file, the editor had some knowlege of the MXML file it was linked to so that syntax highlighting and code completion would be aware of the objects on the MXML file. This is again a behavior that I am used to in Visual Studio.NET and find I miss while working in Flex Builder. I would also like to see some sort of project management built into Flex Builder. It would be very nice if there was a way to create a new Flex project that would take care of creating all of the directory structure and placing all of the files that are needed to run a flex application. Right now there only seems to be two methods. Put all of your applications in one instance of the Flex Web Application or copy and modify the Flex.war file for each application, or some combination of both. These options are not very attractive. (Please correct me if I'm wrong here, I'd love to find that I have just overlooked something). It would also be nice if Flex Builder could then package and streamline the deployment process by creating a ready to deploy war file. I also use both JDeveloper from Oracle, and JBuilder from Borland as my java development environments. Both of these would be excellent examples of project and deployment management done well. So when I say messy its not just one little thing. It's more an _expression_ of how I find the overall development process in Flex right now. During my last 12 years as a software developer I think I have used nearly every type of development environment out there. I really hope that Macromedia is working on improving not only the performance of flex builder, but also the feature list. If not, I realize that I am seriously spoiled by Microsoft's Visual Studio.NET, which is clearly my favorite. I am mentallyblocking out the days of programming in C in Unix where the only tools we had we all commandline based (my sympathy to those still doing that). So I know things could be much worse, but I also know how much better they can be. Since we are paying MUCH more for the product now, I think it only reasonable that the product also rise to our expectations. For our shop, Visual Studio.NET and the ASP.NET Server are _much_ cheaper than Flex and Flex Builder. I don't think my expectations are unreasonable for Flex. It has so much potential, I'd really like to see it go where I think it can. -- Matthew P.S.

Re: [flexcoders] flex and javascript
To my knowledge Flash itself has no way to upload a file. Other than the SharedObject I don't think it has any access to the local filesystem. (as always please correct me if I'm wrong) That would be the real problem. The HTML/_javascript_ solutions are the workaround and in turn require the communication line between Flex/Flash and _javascript_. As for book suggestions... Maybe outline and provide examples for a more event driven model while communicating with _javascript_? It's nice that you can call functions both ways though. Are you also covering cross-browser issues? I have worked with _javascript_ and JavaApplets in the past and found many inconsistencies between the browser versions. I am wondering if those issues are also present when working with _javascript_ and Flash. It was a few years ago that I encountered those issues so they may not even be a problem today. -- Matthew On Apr 7, 2005 8:08 AM, Erik Westra [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The problem here is that file uploading is only possible with a htmlformfield of the type file.

Okay wait, let me get this right... Flex does not compile the css directly into the resulting swf? It reads the css at runtime? If that is true then you could write a jsp file that output the CSS. That css could change based on cookie or session type data. Does that sound like an option that might work? -- Matthew On Apr 6, 2005 10:25 AM, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You cannot change CSS at runtime except via the setting of styles, as you have indicated.

Re: [flexcoders] Dynamically Changing an entire CSS
Right, but what I am trying to do requires the style to be selectable on a per user basis,from a profile setting. I have a workaround I am currently attempting. It's a little hackish, but doesn't require a ton of actionscript. If its successful then I'll share to this list. -- Matthew On Apr 6, 2005 11:39 AM, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Nope, you were right the first time; Flash does compile the CSS into the SWF; basically hardcodes the CSS value settings. The reason I said upload a new CSS to the server is that the Flex server, when a new request comes in for the MXML file, should detect the CSS file change, and generate a new SWF for the end user that will have the new CSS styles in it. - Original Message - From: Matthew Shirey To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 2:34 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Dynamically Changing an entire CSS Okay wait, let me get this right...

Re: [flexcoders] Experiences with XMLSocket?

[flexcoders] ActionScript Components
Might someone point me in the direction of some good docs/examples of creating components using ActionScript. I have the RIA book and chapter 10 has some information, but its disappointingly sparse. Mostly I am interested in how to create a composite component. A component containing many other components. The examples I have seen so far simply extend a given component and alter its behavior.Right now I am creating all of my components in MXML with a separate file for their ActionScript. It's starting to get a bit messy for complex components. Any kind of a boot in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks! -- Matthew Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Scrollbars in a VBox
With all these pricing things up in the air its hard to think about
coding, but I do have a bit of a problem I'm trying to work out.
I have a layout that has multiple nested VBox components with a
repeater on the inside. For my application this repeater is going to
be repeating a custom component based on a dataProvider. My problem
is that Flex wants to put the scroll bars on the outer most VBox
instead of the innermost one thats closest to the repeater. I have
tried many variations of vScrollPolicy settings, but the problem seems
to be somewhere else. Is there a way other than setting a specific
size for the VBoxes that I can tell the inner most VBox to be the one
that has a scroll bar? I have included some sample code to show my
problem. In this example the scroll bars are actually going on the
application control. This is a very simple example that is similar to
the layout in my application and still shows the problem. I know I
could use a List or a Datagrid with a custom renderer but both have
behaviors I don't want. I was hoping to just be able to use a
repeater and have scrollbars on the parent vbox. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 price
Our shop cannot hardly pull the current price... If it goes up I don't know what it will mean for us, but I doubt its good.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 price
Thanks for the information on Laszlo. It doesn't look as robust as Flex, but if they do raise the price , I doub't we'll have much choice but to switch. All we can do now is hope that its just a rumor. If not, hello Laszlo. -- Matthew On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 12:43:18 -0500, jeff tapper [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can I recommend everyone waits for an official word from MM before jumping to conclusions.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex on .Net? Any progress?
I don't think you are missing anything. We have a similar problem in our shop. We're primarily .NET here and to use flex we have to support a completely different platform. We're mostly just waiting for the .NET version. When that's released we'll port our applications to it and dump the J2EE servers. I just kinda expected the .NET version to be out by now... -- Matthew On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 16:27:23 -0500, Pushkar Phatak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kris, Yes, that is indeed true. the 'mixed' environment doesnt really go away fully.

Re: [flexcoders] Binding question
You just hit on a problem I had a week ago. It looks like the wsdl
attribute cannot be set at runtime. I even tried doing it in
actionscript with no luck. This is problematic for me because I want
to be able to declare all of my web service urls globally so they can
be changed easily. I finally had to resort to making them Named web
service declared in the flex config file. This works for me but its
less than ideal. If there is some way to dynamically set the wsdl
attribute, I'd also be very interested in knowing how.
Thanks!

I have web services in my application, and I wanted to bind the value
of the wsdl attribute of a mx:WebService tag, but I'm having
difficulty.
I have my model like this:
mx:Model id=webServicesURLs
ws1http://someURL?wsdl/ws1
/mx:Model
Then in my web service, I have:
mx:WebService id=myWebService wsdl={webServicesURLs.ws1} ... etc.
But upon application startup, I'm getting an alert box error message
from the application saying Could not load WSDL, 404, /myApp/
{myWebServiceURLs.ws1}.
It seems like it's trying to get the WSDL prior to substituting the
value from my data model, which explains why it couldn't get the WSDL.
How can I then make my wsdl attribute in my mx:WebService a
variable?

Re: [flexcoders] weird problem with Flashplayer in Linux
Well, my guess would be that it didn't affect the Flashplayer directly. Java is used to create the SWF that is passed to the Flashplayer though so maybe some difference in the version was creating a SWF that wasn't quite right for the Linux flash player? M.

But let me explain as good I can. On the picture you can see a part of my application. It is a DataGrid with a CellRenderer I did on my own. Every row stands for a job to do. As you can see every CellRenderer has 5 item: a title, start date (Anfang), end date (fertig bis), priority (Priorität) and status (Status). Every item comes from a JobObject an is formatted by the CellRenderer. The two dates are formatted by the same DateFormatter the CellRenderer gets by a ViewHelper (I use the Cairngrom-architecture). When I format only one Date, as in the screenshot, in the Linux Flashplayer everything is ok. It doesn't matter if I format the stard date or the end date. If I format both dates, my machine is in a infinite loop. The browser doesn't matter, it is in Firefox and Konqueror. In Windows there is absolutely no problem with two dates, I checked that with a Windows XP box which is slower than the linux box.
