RE: [flexcoders] Re: Cool Flex Site with Free 30 day trial

2005-11-10 Thread Merrill, Jason










I finally got in because someone on this
list kindly offered their account info to me. 



Looks very nice. I had wondered how Flex
could be used for e-learning (since that is my field) and this answers it (though
Im still a little confused looking at it what is pure Flex and what is
pure Flash  I mean some things are obviously Flash, but not sure how
much extra flash was involved and where actionscript was used for what 
would love to see the source code).

 I dont think this is true.


Maybe I'm just mis-understanding this (is SWC a

something?):

In order to create and test applications using

RE: [flexcoders] How to access control attributes inside a repeater

2005-10-26 Thread Merrill, Jason










I cant believe I am actually
answering a question here. 



What does department.xml look like? If
your XML is like this for example:



dashboard

 menu

 button
label=Help/

 dropDowns

 dropDown
label=Site Location:

 item
label=AFDW/



You should be able to just add the next node
name after the currentItem, like this:



 mx:Repeater id=r2 dataProvider={dataService.result.dashboard.menu.dropDowns.dropDown} startingIndex=0


 mx:Text text={r2.currentItem.label} textAlign=right/

RE: [flexcoders] F2 Alpha: Repeaters and dynamic HTML text?

2005-10-25 Thread Merrill, Jason










Sending this again because it never seems to
have gone through:



Thanks Ashish  that works now.
Seems like a lot of work just to get it to render as HTML does, but oh
well. I guess there is a lot to learn about layout in Flex 2.



By the way, in the F2 Alpha, I could not get
older versions of the bullet.gif to go away, no matter how many times I deleted
the file from the file system in the project folder, and the bin folder Flex
produces. I even deleted it in Flex and re-imported it, made sure it was
updated in the project and bin folders, deleted my browser cache, etc.
Still showed the old graphic when it compiled. The only way I could get
it to update with the new graphic was to comment out the line: mx:Image
source=@Embed('assets/bullet.gif')/ , then compile, then un-comment the line and
compile again. Then the graphic was updated. Weird  it was like
Flexbuilder keeps some other cache somewhere else outside the project folder. 



Thanks for
the help.

RE: [flexcoders] Layout problems in Flex 2

2005-10-24 Thread Merrill, Jason










Thanks Andreas, Ill have a look at
your code. On Friday I ended up positioning the Tile area with hard coded X
and Y values (not desirable, but it works) so that it starts below the title
bar. Thanks for the help!

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Layout
problems in Flex 2





Hi Jason, good to see you around here too!

This is all very new to me too, but as far as I
see the Tile acts very much
like a very basic HTML table in which cells cannot
be merged: basically all
cells in a row have the same height and all cells
in a column have the same
width - as a result the Tile will work best when
used for items with a
certain similarity in size.

In your example the first element in the Tile is
the ControlBar which
spreads over the entire width of the base canvas -
if the Tile can 'flow
naturally' it will in this case consist of 3 rows
and only 1 column - this
according to the 'law' that all cells in a column
have the same width.

Now the Tile allows us to change the 'natural flow'
- e.g. by setting the
tileWidth property (as you do). This will make
that the cell size will not
adapt to the size of the element inside but will
crop it to the given value:
panels will appear on top of the ControlBar, left
edge of the first one at
x=200, the second one at x=400, as the tileWidth
is set to 200.

To avoid this, I'd suggest to remove the
ControlBar from the Tile: it's
probably just too wide and dissimilar to give good
results. In this scenario
it is not necessary to set the tileWidth: this has
the advantage that the
Tile Layout will adapt automatically when the
panels change size. See code
below.

[flexcoders] What is a transcoding error in Flexbuilder 2?

2005-10-24 Thread Merrill, Jason










I am getting some errors in the Flexbuilder
2 Alpha which have me perplexed. I am embedding a .swf file in my
application with: 



mx:Image source=@Embed('assets/titleBackground.swf')
creationCompleteEffect={SlowFade}/



And it works fine. The .swf displays
as expected, and is in the proper asset folder in my project. However,
today I am getting these error messages every time I compile:



Unable to resolve
assets/titleBackground.swf for transcoding.

Unable to transcode
assets/titleBackground.swf



What do those mean? The only thing I
could find in the help docs about transcoding was:



The following example points to an ambiguously
typed source property and specifies a MIME type
so that Flex uses the proper transcoder to import the resource:

[Embed(source=http://getpic.com/getsvg,
mimeType=image/svg)]

var pic:String; 



But I dont see how that would relate
to my project. Just an Alpha thing? Thanks for any
insight.

Transcoding is what happens to convert one form of
encoding (i.e. a GIF) to another form of encoding (SWF). In this case,
its really just a wrap SWF asset up for use inside the application
transcoder.



But anyway, the error here is that it couldn't

[flexcoders] F2 Alpha: Repeaters and dynamic HTML text?

2005-10-24 Thread Merrill, Jason










Full of questions today. So using Flexbuilder 2
Alpha, I want to use a repeater to show text, and so this works fine:



mx:Repeater id=CMMetricsTextRepeater 

dataProvider={dataService.result.dashboard.categories.category}

mx:Image source=@Embed('assets/bullet.gif') /

 mx:Text text={CMMetricsTextRepeater.currentItem.label}/

/mx:Repeater



However, I want that bullet graphic to appear next to the text, but
it doesnt  the bullet appears, but the text that follows drops to
the next line. So, I thought I would try HTML text, but Im not sure how
to use the dynamic data of a repeater since the text is supposed to be enclosed
in a CDATA tag. For example, this does not work:



mx:Repeater id=CMMetricsTextRepeater 

dataProvider={dataService.result.dashboard.categories.category}

 mx:htmlText

 ![CDATA[img
src=''/


{CMMetricsTextRepeater.currentItem.label}

 ]]

 /mx:htmlText

/mx:Repeater



What happens is the {CMMetricsTextRepeater.currentItem.label} is shown literally since its in the
CDATA tag. How do I use repeaters and dynamic HTML text? Do I *have* to use Actionscript for this? If so,
how? Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] F2 Alpha: Repeaters and dynamic HTML text?

2005-10-24 Thread Merrill, Jason










OK  thanks Ashish, getting
closer. However, the text drops down and to the right from the bullet,
and the bullet is completely snug at the far and upper left. 



When rendered as straight HTML it doesnt
do this. i.e.



mx:Text

 mx:htmlText

  ![CDATA[img
src=''/Test HTML Text]]

 /mx:htmlText

/mx:Text



That positions
the text and graphic completely different. 



See the differences here: http://cmt.icfconsulting.com/temp/AFDW/AFDWTOC.html



Any
ideas? Thanks.

Wrap your Image and Text tag in HBox
inside Repeater.

Subject: [flexcoders] F2 Alpha:
Repeaters and dynamic HTML text?

Full
of questions today. So using Flexbuilder 2 Alpha, I want to use a
repeater to show text, and so this works fine:



mx:Repeater id=CMMetricsTextRepeater 

dataProvider={dataService.result.dashboard.categories.category}

mx:Image source=@Embed('assets/bullet.gif') /


mx:Text text={CMMetricsTextRepeater.currentItem.label}/

/mx:Repeater



However, I want
that bullet graphic to appear next to the text, but it doesnt 
the bullet appears, but the text that follows drops to the next line. So,
I thought I would try HTML text, but Im not sure how to use the dynamic
data of a repeater since the text is supposed to be enclosed in a CDATA
tag. For example, this does not work:



mx:Repeater id=CMMetricsTextRepeater 

dataProvider={dataService.result.dashboard.categories.category}

 mx:htmlText


![CDATA[img src=''/


{CMMetricsTextRepeater.currentItem.label}


]]

 /mx:htmlText

/mx:Repeater



What
happens is the {CMMetricsTextRepeater.currentItem.label} is shown literally since its in the CDATA tag.
How do I use repeaters and dynamic HTML text? Do I *have* to use Actionscript for this?
If so, how? Thanks.
