[flexcoders] Swing Layout Manager Equivalent in Flex 3
I have built many GUIs with Swing and two of the Swing Layout Manager Options I found most useful were Flow and Border. I have a design goal where I am creating a component that has a Data Grid under a set of control icons. If the browser window shrinks to the point the control icons can no longer be shown without scrolling I would like them to flow down to the next row and the panel or canvas they are on be doubled in height to accommodate the wrap around row of icons. I tried FlowBox but that only works if i have it double high all the time and that defeats the purpose. I suppose I could run some code in the resize event handler and if the size drops below the width of the icons, I could then double the hieght and if it grows back to wide enough I could halve the hieght. But I am lazy and was hopping there was a Swing Layout Manager equivalent. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Swing-Layout-Manager-Equivalent-in-Flex-3-tp24634003p24634003.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[flexcoders] Flex Library and and MXML component
I have an MXML Component Canvas that I want to put into a Flex Library SWC. I created a Flex Library Project with /src and /bin I added the /images folder with the image in it that the Component Canvas uses to /src. I added the mxml source file for the Component to the /src The /bin gets the MyLibProject.swc but the mxml component isn't inside. I am sure I am missing a step but can't find what it is.

Re: [flexcoders] FlowBox Nesting
Thanks Doug, So how much was that bet? I replaced the FlobBox with FlowContainer and while yes the height did calculate properly so you were correct therebut alas it doesn't solve the problem. The new code follows but I won't upload the resulting .swf BECAUSE IT HANGS THE BROWSER, both IE and FireFox! Both running the latest Flash player 9 and on FireFox it has the debugger version of the player and that didn't get a chance to catch the error.

[flexcoders] FlowBox Nesting
I am trying to create a screen with a grid and a toolbar on top of it. The problem is that the toolbar can have more user selectable controls in it than will fit on small screens. So I wanted to use the FlowBox and that works great but only if I allow for the space between the Flowbox and the grid control under it. I wanted the grid control to float under the toolbar and if the toolbar / flowbox gets reduced in width to wrap a control down into a second row the grid would slide down to accommodate. So I thought a flowbox with a flowbox and the grid control in it but the nested flowbox and grid won't fill the parent flow box with width="100%" I have tried TileList and VBox and have yet to find the combination that will allow the grid to float under the FlowBox. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FlowBox-Nesting-tp23506408p23506408.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[flexcoders] Tradeoffs
What are the tradeoffs between creating a flex project with the J2EE type vs None type? The J2EE type is about 10% larger from what I can tell, but the None type seems to work just fine in the browser. If we start with None type, and then add ActionScript calls to the Remote interface it seems to work just fine, but I wonder about performance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tradeoffs-tp23114437p23114437.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[flexcoders] DateField JDBC
It seems odd or even cumbersome to tie the DateField control through to a Date column in a JDBC database using the "text" property of the DateField. The format out of the DateField doesn't match the format for a JDBC date so you must reformat the "01/21/2009" to "2009-01-21". That's not so tough, but it seems odd that there isn't a method to get the right format string out of the control. The selectedDate is ok, but if you are using a REST interface, then you need to convert that to a string...shouldn't controls be created to serve the most common implementations and isn't backing a form with JDBC one of if not the most common implementation? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/DateField-JDBC-tp21593640p21593640.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[flexcoders] Server Side Cache and AMF
What are the pros and cons to using a serverside cache or proxy cache with Flex and AMF? I can see a cache on a web service that is primarily a lookup service, but don't see much if any benefit to a cache related to transactions, and for lookup, except for really large data sets I think a client side actionscript object will be every bit as effective, and for really large data sets you don't want to fetch more than you need anyway so a cache won't do much there either. I think server side cache is best for pages of information like HTML pages, XML documents, JSP pages where the content is keyed in the cache by the URL for the GET, and anything else is a waste of effort or worse due to stale data in the cache. But what do I know? If I knew everything I wouldn't ask. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Server-Side-Cache-and-AMF-tp21406354p21406354.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [flexcoders] itemRenderer ComboBox
Ok, so the itemEditor = ComboBox with the above Override and here it is as it stands and works (up to a point). Now this works perfectly now when I click in the Cell the ComboBox opens with the selectedItem and when I select an option and exit the Cell the DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END fires and I extract the data value to insert into the parameters with parameters[dsFieldName.substr(0,dsFieldName.length-3)] = e.currentTarget.itemEditorInstance.selectedItem.data; and that saves to the database, all great...however, the editorDataField="selectedItem" puts "[object Object]" into the Grid instead of the data element. I tried editorDataField="selectedItem.data" but that fails. I tried "value" and "text" but it saves the Label.

I have a colleague that is of the opinion that SQL statements in Java Code such as DAO classes is bad practice, that the SQL statements and parameter tokens be externalized into Contants or property files. I maintain that is not only not necessary in general but given our loosely coupled service oriented architecture the classes are largely not in any sort of complex dependency so modifying code doesn't have the ripples of monolithic desktop or client server applications. So while it is true you can change the SQL statement if needed without changing the code and even change syntax if you need to change databases, how often does that happen anyway? And how often do you change the SQL without having to change the classes? I look at DAO classes from Adobe Labs and Sun Microsystems and see SQL statements in the code so I figure if it is good enough for them it is good enough for us. What say you all? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/help-me-settle-an-argument-tp20876256p20876256.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[flexcoders] Modules and Sessions
We are planning on the following organization for an Application. Base Application this will contain a scalable application with a canvas and an Toolbar across the top. The Application will be secured by user login in a popup form window. The tool bar buttons will load modules in the canvas from separate Module WebApps for ease of Maintenance and flexibility. Before we get too far I wanted to ask this group if there are any "gotchas" in our plan? Specifically, are we correct that the user session is based on that base application and any modules that load will consistently use the user session in the base application? Are there any coding practices we need for the AMF in this model? We assume the modules and the actionscript for those modules carry the user session the same as if the module was loaded from the same root path as the Base Application, right? Just being cautious.

[flexcoders] TabBar ViewStack
I have a TabBar controlling a ViewStack and I want the border on the view stack canvas to be hidden as it crosses under the selected tab so there is no line between the text in the tab and the canvas it controls. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/TabBar-ViewStack-tp20211166p20211166.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[flexcoders] TabBar Background Color
Is there a way to control/set the background of a TabBar so the selected Tab's background color matches the viewstack it controls background color? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/TabBar-Background-Color-tp20212407p20212407.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
