[flexcoders] Looping Properties on User-Defined Classes | for..in Does Not Work
Does ActionScript have any statements/operators that support looping the properties of user-defined classes? for..in works on looping basic objects. However, in the docs, the Looping page for "Programming ActionScript 3.0" says: What you cannot do is iterate through the properties of an object if it is an instance of a user-defined class, unless the class is a dynamic class. Even with instances of dynamic classes, you will be able to iterate only through properties that are added dynamically.

[flexcoders] LCDS vs FMIS for flex-based text chat
i am working with a team planning development on a new flex app. the app will have multiple text chat rooms and video chat too. for video the architecture must include flash media interactive server (FMIS), so team members assume we will use FMIS for the text messaging. i am wondering if livecycle data services (LCDS) might have any advantages over FMIS for text chat? does anyone here have experience with both that they can comment on? or links to articles or blog posts that might compare the pros and cons of LCDS vs FMIS in real time messaging apps? maybe even including BlazeDS in the analysis too? any thoughts or assistance will be appreciated. p

Re: [flexcoders] Flex E-Mail a Form PHP, ASP, or ColdFusion
videogamer2791,
I think you have 2 choices, either an app server sends the email, or you
rely on the default email program on the users' machines (using something
like: URLRequest("mailto:"+ ... ) )
On the web, you have this issue sending email regardless of what you use
to code the UI (e.g. regardless if HTML, Flash, Flex, etc.)
Following is a sample method for sending mail from default email program on
the users' machines using AS3/Flex:
private function clickSendEmail_submitBtn():void {
var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"+
subjectBox +"&body="+ messageBox );
navigateToURL(u,"_self");
}
btw ... any app server Flash can talk to, Flex can talk to too. Commonly
including: PHP, Java, ColdFusion, WebServices, etc. Will pembrokecycle.com
have access to an app server? If so, please post back regarding what
language. And of course there are any of a number of ways to send the data
from Flash/Flex to the app server.
Please post back any follow up questions you may have.
hth,

thing else except for the "Contact Us" page. In flash, I know to use
a php script with a new Load Vars class, but I have no idea what to
do with flex. I have seen Google searches with coldfusion, but no

Also, im only 16, so please keep the explanation a little dumbed

[flexcoders] proxying via named destinations - coldfusion support?
when using flex with coldfusion, does coldfusion support proxying via named destinations? e.g. or if yes, i guess the named destination would be configured through the services-config.xml under the coldfusion root? can anyone confirm if they are using coldfusion for proxying with flex? i ask because i checked the documentation and see no mention of configuring coldfusion for proxying. but coldfusion does have aervices-config.xml so it seems like it could support proxying. but i am not sure exactly how the adapter would be configured in services-config.xml. any help? p It's here!

Re: [flexcoders] Image Slide Show(Quick One)
Kumar, If you are up for an Image Slide Show with a bit more functionality than Lachlan's excellent reply on your request for a "Quick One", you might want to check out the "Photo Viewer" Sample App that installs with Flex Builder 2. It uses an external xml file (galleries.xml) for loading each photo. You can view it in action here: http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/photoviewer/PhotoViewer.html Note: This sample app has 3 views: , , . At the link above, you switch views by clicking icons on the top right corner of the gray thumbnail viewer along the bottom. This "Photo Viewer" Sample App is easy to install via the Flex Builder 2 "Flex Start Page" (Install sequence: Main Menu -> Help -> Flex Start Page -> More installed samples -> Photo Viewer -> Open Project) Regarding the XML that is uses, following is a sample from galleries.xml:: Acropolis: Matt Chotin Acropolis on Calton Hill in Edinburgh flextravel/Acropolis on Calton Hill.jpg Happy Flexing!

[flexcoders] Photo Viewer Sample App
The "Photo Viewer" Sample App has a ViewStack with 3 views: , , .
When I move to the top of the stack, on execution it throws
an: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object
reference.
Poking around with the debugger the problem is that the property gallery =
null.
It all works fine as originally written. That is when is
not the first view in the stack. The default app PhotoViewer.mxml uses
databinding for passing in gallery="{gallery}" to each of the 3 views.
Can anyone help out suggesting why only fails when it is
first view in the stack?
fyi ...
The "Photo Viewer" Sample App is easy to install via the Flex Builder 2 "Flex
Start Page"
(Install sequence: Main Menu -> Help -> Flex Start Page -> More installed
samples -> Photo Viewer -> Open Project)
Because ResourceBundle are used, you might encounter the (annoying) bug 174788
(as documented in TechNote at www.adobe.com/go/4a146409) which requires "In
Flex Builder, clean the project in order to remove the error."
I really would like to get "Photo Viewer" Sample App working with as the default view. If anyone can help me figure out how to do that, I
would appreciate it.
In debugging this I have gotten as far as ...
When the Error #1009 occurs, FB2 opens Carousel.as pointing to the first
statement in method reset() which references: gallery.selected
Using a breakpoint, the debugger's Variables panel shows"gallery=null".
I then modified reset() to include "if ( gallery != null )" in 2 places.
1) around: var selected:int = gallery.selected;
2) around the entire loop: for (var i:int=0; i < 9; i++)
This clears the #1009 error, but the Variables window continues to show
"gallery=null". Only if I then navigate to either or
before navigating back to does the
databinding finally set the gallery property and works.

Has anyone ever created a custom handler for the case where users might select "No" on the Express Install dialogue?With Express Install, users are presented with a dialogue to install Flash Player 9. The dialogue has both a "Yes" and a "No" button.If the user selects "No" there currently is no logic in Express Install to direct the user to an alternate page. They are just left staring at box the color of Flex's default background color.For Flex 2 applications where FP9 is a requirement, leading the user to a dead end is bad usability, eh?Any and all advice or assistance would be appreciated.Pete Get your email and more, right on the new Yahoo.com __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
