Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder complaint

[Paul Decoursey]

You are right, I am sorry.  I've been under a lot of stress.  I had  
committed myself to a project utilizing papervision that also depends  
on code that has yet to be realized in any adequate form and  
unfortunately is beyond the scope of the project yet I need it to get  
it done.  Little things set me off and my true self comes out when it  
shouldn't (I am in fact evil).  And since I have not given or received  
anything of value from this group in a while, emphasis on given.  I'm  
going to pull out for a while.  It's a distraction that you don't need.

I'm sorry, but nobody even regarded it as an issue.  I only responded  
with rudeness when it was forced upon me.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder complaint

[Paul Decoursey]

Did you read the thread... I had backups.  It's a bug.  When you  
import any other project into eclipse or Flex builder it doesn't  
delete files from your project as part of the import.  The reason I  
bring it up isn't because I'm a baby, it's because I have a legitimate  
concern.  Does this behavior happen if I import a project into my  
workspace that was created with the same version?  I don't think just  
saying, oh keep backups, use source control or whatever is a solution,  
an application shouldn't be deleting files without telling you.  If  
you have nothing to offer the conversation then shut up!

very funny.

Although that is exactly what I did, it is not a solution to an

Re: [flexcoders] Cannot embed Flash9 symbols

I think I've tracked it down to a bad Project... sort of... I don't

I need to add my back my external source, Papervision and APE, and see

Re: [flexcoders] do you need CS Degree to get a job?

[Paul Decoursey]

My experiences have been similar.  I do consulting and get most of my  
work by having good connections.  I don't have a degree at all.  I  
went to school just never finished it, never needed to, and frankly  
don't see any advantage to doing so.  I do occasionally get requests  
for my resume, and I hide the education bit at the bottom.  I'd have  
to say I'd be skeptical of anyone that required a CS degree or any  
degree for that matter.  Perhaps if you were going into the Molecular  
Biology field a degree might be a good indicator, but I think that in  
this field it is irrelevant.

Re: [flexcoders] Cannot embed Flash9 symbols

[Paul Decoursey]

What is bothering me more is this... I have reinstalled Flash CS3,  
reinstalled Flex 2 and all the hotfixes, reinstalled the Flex  
Component Kit and followed the directions for it 10 times now and it  
does not work.  I cannot load any of the components that Flash is  
outputting. I'm getting very frustrated and I have no other ideas of  
what might be happening.  I've also tried it in Flex 3 to no avail,  
which is leading me to believe that the issue is int he swfs and swcs  
that Flash is generating.


Does anyone have any clue? I've wasted a day on this, and I can't in  
good conscious bill my client for this time.

Re: [flexcoders] Web Service & Enumerations...Is this a bug?...need help!

[Paul Decoursey]

Have you tried Hotfix 3?  That had a lot of updates to web service code.

I did notice a lot of odd things similar to what was described when I  
updated to hotfix 3(I didn't install hotfix 2 until that time).  Most  
of the issues were due to Flex actually handling the SOAP calls as  
they should be verses the close enough hack way they were before.

Re: [flexcoders] Thumb Nail and Indexing

[Paul Decoursey]

I'd suggest something like FFMpeg or TeleStream FlipFactory for the  
video files.  For the SWF and FLV you can load back into the Flex app  
and generate thumbnails that way.

I can't say anything about the Mac, but I always use the Subversive
Plugin for Eclipse:

http://www.polarion.org/index.php?page=overview&project=subversive

It seems to be less buggy than the alternative Subclipse plugin. Also
it became an official Eclipse project, so in the future it might be
part of the core platform like the CVS plugin.

I'm using Subversive with HTTP and with svn+ssh and did not have any
issues yet.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Animated overSkin (how to use more than one frame of a symbol)

Does anything other than the size change with the state change?   
Because you could just animate the height and width property of the

Using the Flex Component Kit and Flash CS3 you can do what you're

Re: [flexcoders] PDF rendering in Flex

[Paul Decoursey]

I think that is probably your best bet at this point.  It is possible  
to read a PDF in flex, but rendering it is a bit tricky.  First if  
it's compressed you'll have to unzip parts of it.  Once you have it  
decoded you could execute the drawing commands on a UIComponent and  
display the text roughly the same, but I'm not sure about images.  If  
they are JPEG I suppose you could feed it to a SWFLoader, but if it's  
Tiff, I don't think you can do that.  But if you know that the PDF is  
not going to have images or just simple images and you keep them  
simple then I think it could be possible to build the component to  
display it.

Re: [flexcoders] WITH construction ?

[Paul Decoursey]

You just illustrated why it's reducing readability.  You have to read  
a lot more code to understand what is happening in the with  
statement.  In your example you show x = 20, but where is x?  is it  
on the object or is it in the function scope or is it in the parent  
object scope?


This is why I think with should not be used.  In javascript it  
improved performance slightly in some unique cases, but I don't think  
it's helpful in AS3.  The only benefit I see for it is reduced  
typing, but that's just lazy in my opinion.  Please type it out, it  
will help you out in the long run.  I think the only time you should  
not state the scope of an assignment like that (ie x=20) is when the  
scope is local like in a function.  Please use this whenever possible  
as well, even when you are the only one looking at your code.


Oh and just because other languages have it does not make it a good  
idea. Lingo uses && for string concatenation, is that a good idea?

Paul,

apologies however languages such as C# include such a directive  
already - its not "reducing" readability at all - in reality I'm  
wondering if this is remotely possible in Flex. The issue I'm  
wondering about is that if you wrote the code below


var object:Object = new Object();

With (object) {
x = 20;
trace("trap the app in debug here");
}

and placed a breakpoint on the trace line - you'll note several  
things - 1) 'x' is defined as a variable of type Number (no var  
declaration which I didn't think possible) and outside of the scope  
of 'object' 2) object does not have a variable 'x'.


How is it shown that 'x' is part of 'object' rather than an  
external variable ?


In C#, the With statement is enacted in that properties of a object  
declared in the With construct are referenced in the following manner.


With (object) {
.x = 20;
}

Note the '.' !

For example, taken from the flex doc:

with (Math) {
a = PI * pow(r, 2);
x = r * cos(PI);
y = r * sin(PI / 2);

where pow, cos and sin are static method of Math.

Re: [flexcoders] Wrapper .svn copies BUG!

[Paul Decoursey]

Totally unrelated.  But good guess.  The .svn folder from the html- 
template is what is being copied.  The only way I can see to stop it  
is to turn off generating the HTML template, but I need the template  
to be generated, I have support javascripts in it.

Re: [flexcoders] Wrapper .svn copies BUG!

[Paul Decoursey]

My FB rejected 1.0.x.  I do have it installed on my Mac version and I  
find that it kind of sucks, but it's not entirely their fault.  I  
cannot use it for the most part because it seems to do everything  
based on the root repository and I don't have access to that.  I only  
have access to certain projects in the repository (I'm a consultant  
and they don't trust me).  As a result I find subclipse to be kind of  
useless, plus it doesn't solve my problem.  Part of it also is that I  
have gotten so used to TortiseSVN that I find the alternatives to be  
quite lacking.  There is nothing worthwhile on the Mac for SVN, I've  
resorted to the terminal in fact.

I blogged about something like that at one point, http:// 
www.devilsworkbook.com/workbookroot/2007/03/clock-digital-in-nature- 
in-fle.html

This shows the current time however.  But I do have one that counts  
down from a set time and fires a timed out event when it gets to  
zero.  But that one resets when the user does something, I use it for  
session management.  That one listens for the System Idle event to  
update it's time.  I think the example I blogged about would be more  
relevant.  Hope it helps.

Re: [flexcoders] Date oddities *** SOLVED ***

[Paul Decoursey]

Now it makes sense, because our back end, also in java, sends all  
timestamps in UTC.


On Oct 30, 2007, at 7:34 PM, Scott Melby wrote:

Whew, took me a while but I was able to get to the bottom of this  
date stuff.  The problem I was seeing was caused by my Java back  
end not correctly recognizing the time zone information from  
VISTA.  This caused it to return timestamps in milliseconds GMT  
(instead of the usual adjusted for local time).  A simple upgrade  
of the JDK (was running 1.5_09, upgraded to 1.5_13) fixed that  
issue.  So, it turns out that if your back end is returning time in  
GMT (also referred to as UTC) then your flex code will always need  
to adjust accordingly (as indicated by Paul below).  If you are  
fine with your server returning local time (intranet app, etc) then  
no adjustment is necessary in the Flex code.

Re: [flexcoders] Date oddities

[Paul Decoursey]

Nope, they have an offset of either 300 or 360 based on DST.  Are you  
in an area that doesn't have DST perhaps?  I'm not sure.  I'd think  
that it would have to be dependent on the client offset in all cases.

Re: [flexcoders] Date oddities

[Paul Decoursey]

Odd, I've always had to adjust for the timezone, and I've always  
built on XP or OSX.  I just assumed that was the way it was supposed  
to be.

Re: [flexcoders] MXML vs. pure ActionScript

[Paul Decoursey]

I like both.  For some things, like components I prefer AS only.  But  
for larger apps I prefer mxml simply because I can visualize the app  
better.  I don't think that there is any one better way to do it, it  
depends on your strengths and your needs.

Re: [flexcoders] application not expanding to fit content

[Paul Decoursey]

100% height in html rarely works.   the height of the div is the  
problem.  It has been my experience the it will not expand to what it  
could.  I have seen some workarounds out there where if you set the  
body to 100% height and all parent tags also to a height then it  
works, but I have now be successful with that.  I have usually  
resorted to javascript setting the height after it's loaded.

Re: [flexcoders] Multiple File Uploads and OSX Leopard

Re: [flexcoders] Getting Debugger window when running flex application

[Paul Decoursey]

I think that this is because the beta player installs to a different  
file than the official release.  I think that flex is checking for  
the official release and doesn't find it.  I don't think there is a  
way to turn off this warning, at least I haven't found one.  I've  
reverted back to the official release anyway, I didn't want to  
develop against something that we didn't know when it would be released.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to set "Script time limit" in Flex 2 (or 3)?

[Paul Decoursey]

I had thought that too, but think about it, if you have a script that  
runs for a minute users are not going to be happy. You need to break  
that up into smaller parts so that the UI can update and the user  
doesn't think it's broken.  In fact I like the default of 15 seconds,  
it helps me to regulate myself so I don't have long periods of  
"what's going on?"...

Re: [flexcoders] crossdomain.xml... real or not-so-real security?

[Paul Decoursey]

The use case I've heard that makes sense to me that does provide  
security is this.

Say you have a bunch of FLVs stored on your server and you let some  
people access those from their site.  And at some point you discover  
that someone has been abusing that privilege and racking up huge  
bandwidth charges for you.  So you add the cross domain and deny  
access to certain sites.  Then you can still stream them out, but the  
"friend" that posted it to slashdot is no longer able to.  Make  
sense?  It's not a lot of security in my opinion, but it works.   
There are ways around it, like proxies, but then those people will be  
using the bandwidth themselves as well.

I think the point to the 100+ emails is you can quickly scan the 
subjects for what might be of interest.  And if you have threading 
enabled in your mail client then it's much easier to follow up on 
threads that are of interest to you.  I tried digest for a while and on 
a list with this much traffic it's too difficult to keep up with things 
that way.  The messages took a long time to download and took too long 
for me to scan for relevant info.  But back on the off topic, it doesn't 
bother me a lot if now and then there is stuff that should have been 
trimmed, but those extreme examples seem to be occurring more an more.  
it takes but a moment to edit your message, let's all join together in 
harmony to accomplish the goal of lessening the bandwidth required to

Re: [flexcoders] Simple SimpleButton 2nd try

Those "layers" were a big stumbling block for me, but once I understood 
it I don't have any problems with it. I also agree that better examples 
would be useful/helpful and if Adobe were to want to hire an experienced 
developer to write some

Do you know if there are any plans in the future of the language to add 
overloading? What about meta-data, could there be a tag you could add to 
those calls that would instruct the compiler to do a type check other 
than what the function signature says?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex app security on IIS

[Paul deCoursey]

This is a bug that I have reported before.  The upload request does not 
share the session with the other requests on the system.  ie, cookies 
are not sent that have not been set by any other upload requests.  In 
some cases I've been able to use URL-Rewriting to share the session, but 
it's a pain.  My solution has been to allow unsecured uploads by 
supplying a token to the request.  What I do it have another request 
that is on the authenticated session request a token, we use a UUID 
generated by the server. We pass that in as a parameter on the upload 
request and that server side handler will then map that request to the 
correct session.  We use tokens because we can expire them after a 
single use.  We had trouble with url-rewriting because by default all 
the servers we were deploying on did not have that enabled by default 
and some clients just didn't want to support that.

Really url-rewriting for session management should do it for you.

Yes, in this case ClipTile is a Container, most of my itemRenderers are

Re: [flexcoders] not kosher to call function from inline renderer?

[Paul deCoursey]

Ok, I always use parentDocument and it always works for me... what's the 
deal? I've never used outerDocument. Here is a quick sample:










Can you explain why mine works but his does not?

Re: [flexcoders] not kosher to call function from inline renderer?

[Paul deCoursey]

The inline component doesn't have that method in scope.  Try 
{this.parentDocument.blobToImage

Re: [flexcoders] Detecting optional elements in XML

[Paul deCoursey]

Use e4x, most e4x expressions return an XMLList.  Then check if the 
result has a length greater than 0.   Some of the alternatives are 
actually more work computationally, as they do the test for existence 
and then run the query later if it exists.  Here is an example of where 
I use it.

var previewsElement:XMLList = xml.previews;
if(previewsElement.length()>0) {
//do stuff here
}

In some cases I just get the list and iterate over it, then if the list 
is empty it just moves on.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Very strange runtime behavior - if logic doesn't work?????

[Paul deCoursey]

You don't have another class or var with the name includeBase that might 
be conflicting?  That's the kind of thing that has tripped me up in the 
past.  In the debugger can you verify the value of includeBase?

Re: [flexcoders] e4x question

[Paul deCoursey]

Alright, I've read the specs, it's not a bug but in fact it's by 
design... a design choice that I would not have made.  The deal is if 
the namespace is not specified then for elements it matches on the 
default namespace, but for attributes it matches on no namespace... 
makes not sense to me.  What also doesn't make sense is that attributes 
don't have a namespace unless declared per attribute.  They do not 
inherit from the element, which is what XML Schema defines, but since 
Schema really doesn't come into play here this can be expected.

It's all totally bizzare.

Re: [flexcoders] e4x question

[Paul deCoursey]

I have been getting caught up with with one for a few weeks now, I keep 
forgetting to specify the namespace.  I actually think this is a bug, 
but I haven't checked the Ecma requirements yet.  In XPATH and the like 
if you don't specify a namespace in the query it will return all 
elements regardless of namespace.  This only seems to be an issue in the 
ecma world, and it seems wrong to me.  I suppose it could be argued that 
this helps us be better programmers and specifying namespaces is better 
in the long run.  But in the example that you guys were working with it 
was the xml namespace, that should just be handled... just my opinion, 
but a lot of time was wasted on this and in my opinion it's a bug, 
possibly a language level "bug".

Re: [flexcoders] SVG Embed Issues

I may be totally wrong, but I think (total guess here) that the SVG is 
read by Batik and converted to SWF when embeded.  Try loading the file 
in the Batik viewer and see if it generates any errors.

Re: [flexcoders] XSLT in Flex

I'm guessing that XSLT for AS3 isn't going to come anytime soon.  You 
will probably have to write a translator that just iterates through the

Re: [flexcoders] SOAP Service Issue, kind of a big bug

[Paul deCoursey]

Alright, I've figured it out.  I was trying the property value to 
represent the text content of the element, but flex looks for the name 
of the element as the text content. Not exactly intuitive, but 
reasonable.  Some other issues have arisen however.  I have a response 
that looks like this:





And the profile Element is unbounded, and there can be none at all. I've 
noticed that if there are several, like 2-7 (I have not tried more) then 
the response objects that flex decodes look fine.  But if there is one, 
then I get an array for the only element is null, where is the Object?  
Any ideas?

Sorry I meant request here, the response is an error, because the SOAP 
service is expecting something altogether different.

[flexcoders] SOAP Service Issue, kind of a big bug

[Paul deCoursey]

Ok I have this WSDL:



http://examples.decoursey.com"; 
xmlns:soapenc12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding"; 
xmlns:tns="http://examples.decoursey.com"; 
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; 
xmlns:soap11="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; 
xmlns:wsdlsoap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; 
xmlns:soapenc11="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; 
xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";>
  
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:tns="http://examples.decoursey.com";
elementFormDefault="qualified"
targetNamespace="http://examples.decoursey.com";>















   

  
 

 
  
   
   
  
 


 
  
   
  
  

  
  


  
  

  
  

  
  

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>

  
  

  
  

  


  
  

  http://localhost:8084/Webular/metadata/SimpleSoapExample"/>

  






When I try to create the metas object with the metadata objects this is 
the response Flex is generating:

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
  
  http://examples.decoursey.com";>
 

   


   


   


   

 
  
  


All of the ""  should just a a simple 
string, not and element and certainly not a nil element.  Anybody have 
any ideas?

[flexcoders] Re: WebService problem

[Paul DeCoursey]

I have an update on this.  There is no problem with extending string
unless there are more than one of the same element, I'm not sure if
it's the unbounded max that causes it.  I think that the hotfix 3 had
something in it about this.  I will have to explore that option.

Re: [flexcoders] Does Adobe have plans for OplenGL Primitives or not?

[Paul deCoursey]

That would be cool, but I can't see that happening. I'd imagine that 
adding any OpenGL support would add a significant amount of bloat to the 
player. I think that it has become fairly universal, I don't see why 
they couldn't make a go for it. but then there is always 
papervision, and the Flash renderer is fairly fast.

[flexcoders] WebService problem

[Paul deCoursey]

I have this issue when calling a WebService operation.  If I have in the 
schema an object that extends string the operation will fail and crash 
teh browser.  The idea is to send an object like this (represented in xml):

This is the title
...


If I send the object with everything except the metadata it works fine.  
If I add the metadata it fails.  This works from other clients without 
any issues.  I have tried the flex hotfix 3, but that has other issues, 
it fails to load imported schema references correctly.  Has anyone had 
experience with something like this?

I am working on building a simple example that I can post that includes 
the WSDL, the flex client that fails and a java war that provides the 
soap service.  Once I have that done I will post it, but I'd like to 
know before hand if anyone has experienced this.  Or if there is anyone 
that has a complexType that extends string but does not fail, I'd be 
interested in comparing notes there as well.

Thanks

Paul

Re: [flexcoders] its possible convert (not split) String to Array ?

[Paul deCoursey]

JSON, what you need is a JSON parser.  I believe there is one on google 
code...

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Want to export data to and Excel File

[Paul deCoursey]

That will not work, unless you are using AIR.  A file can't originate in 
the SWF, it has to come from a server.  You can create the file in the 
SWF and spool it to a server and back to the client.

Re: [flexcoders] Want to export data to and Excel File

[Paul deCoursey]

NavigateToUrl should work.  This is really more of a general Web 
Development question though.  The real work would need to be done on the 
server in some sort of web application.  You need to set the header of 
the response to the correct mimetype so that the browser can decide what 
to do with the file.  You can also send headers to will instruct what to 
use for a filename.  I can't really provide much more guidance without 
more details on what you are using server side, and that would really 
bring us out of scope for this list.
