Subject: [flexcoders] ItemEditors and rowHeight

 

Looking through SearchCoders, it looks like this question has been asked
repeatedly, and never with a good solution, but hey, I may as well ask
again!

I have an AdvancedDataGrid using the default renderer. When I edit a cell
though, I want to show an ItemEditor that is taller than the row. I've tried
numerous combinations of events and setting height properties to no good
effect.

So while I go away and delve into the ADG code to try and work out a
solution, has anyone managed this successfully, and is willing to save me
some head scratching time?

Are you using the latest Zend framework? Adobe contributed AMF to Zend, and
there's a Zend_AMF component in V1.7 of the framework. This might solve your
problem.

I think you're looking for something like this:

public function findPath(items:Array, path:String):Object
{
for each (var item:Object in items)
{
if (item.path == path)
{
return item;
}
else if (children && children.length > 0)
{
var foundItem:Object = findPath(item.children, path);
if (foundItem)
{
return foundItem;
}
}
}
}

I didn't test out the code, but the concept is what is important.  It's
recursively calling the same function for each level of children (see how it
calls findPath() within the function itself), so it digs down however deep
it needs to.  Good luck.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex dates and time zones.

[Randy Martin]

I guess I really don't understand what the problem is here?? I have a
smalldatetime (or a datetime) in a MSSQL database. I setup a value object in
AS to have the date field as a Date object. I go get the date from
ColdFusion using RemoteObject. The cfc sets up a CF "value object" with the
date as a CF Date object. And, voila, the MSSQL datetime becomes an AS Date
object.

 

I don't have to convert anything to a string, or any other kind of object.
So, what's the problem here???

If I get a date out of the db and want to deal with it as a date, surely

There must be some other option rather than converting to a string.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: format code in FB3

[Randy Martin]

As a side note, the code formatter is the Enterprise IDE plugin is adequate
but still needs some work. I tried it on several mxml files, and it gets
confused, especially on the ActionScript section of the file. For example,
if you have code like this:

 

  private function enterAI():MDIWindow {

var view:NewAI = new NewAI();

view.sn = _sn;

view.un = _un;

view.secLevel = _secLevel;

view.cn = _cn;

view.canEdit = _secLevel <= 11;

view.hasAudit = false;

view.showControls = false;

return view;

  }

 

It turns it into this:

 

  private function enterAI():MDIWindow {

var view:NewAI = new NewAI();

view.sn = _sn;

view.un = _un;

view.secLevel = _secLevel;

view.cn = _cn;

view.canEdit = _secLevel

  <= 11;

view.hasAudit = false;

view.showControls = false;

return view;

  }

 

Or, if you have code like this:

 

  private var menuXML:XMLList =

<>

  

;

 

It turns it into this:

 

  private var menuXML:XMLList =

<>



  

  ;

 

It's a good start, but still has a ways to go.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: format code in FB3

 

Talking as the author of the Enterprise IDE plugin from IDE Factory, 
I would like to clarify some points:

Code formatting is only one feature among many offered by the 
plugin, there are 20 major features in total including improvements 
in code navigation, code generation, code documentation and general 
tools. There are many new features in the development pipeline as 
well.

Eclipse plugin development is not trivial. If you are serious about 
learning, if you are attending Adobe MAX there will be a session on 
extending Flex Builder that should be worthwhile. I myself will 
present in 360 | MAX about my plugin and will be happy to talk about 
my own experiences extending Flex Builder and answer questions.

That said the Enterprise IDE plugin will be very inexpensive, less 
than $100 for a year subscription with multiple updates per year 
with new features and bug fixes. It represents hundreds of hours of 
development time on my part, and frankly I am an experienced eclipse 
plugin developer. Ask yourself, what is more valuable to you, your 
time or spending less than the cost of a single hour of a Flex 
developer time for a year of improved productivity?

Incidentally upgrading Flex Builder is hardly free either. I 
apologize for what may be construed as an "advertisement" on the 
list but I was not the first to mention my plugin in this thread. 
You and anyone else interested in the features offered can do their 
own cost-benefit analysis and draw their own conclusions.

Best of luck,

So, what you want is:

You need to check out the OLAPDataGrid. It's specifically designed to

public var assignments:Array (also a vo with date = 2008-10-02,

with the header text being the date (ie march 10, 2008 would display
10) and the data in the column would be bound to the assignments array
for the user who belongs to the row.

I also want this datagrid to be regenerated when the user of the

I am lost with how I can add dynamic columns to the datagrid and bind
these to an array of dates to present the appropriate assignment.

[flexcoders] Re: Dispatching The itemEditEnd event from within an item editor

[Randy Martin]

Thanks, Tracy. And you're right. I'm only using an ItemEditor. 
There's no custom renderer. I really don't need a custom renderer 
because I'm able to pass back a combination of the two selected items 
in the itemEditEnd event handler.

Are you saying that if I used a custom renderer, I could trigger the 
itemEditEnd event when the selection from the 2nd combo box is made?

I'll look into that, but if you have a quick example, it would save 
me some time.

The CheckBox has two styles that control the color of the actual

iconDisabledColor - the color of the checkmark when the control is

Just set these to the colors you want.

[flexcoders] Dispatching The itemEditEnd event from within an item editor

[Randy Martin]

I have a custom item editor for a cell in a DataGrid that consists of 
two ComboBoxes. Everything works perfectly, except I'd like a way to 
exit the item editor as soon as the user selects from the second combo 
box.
 
That is, I'd like the item editor to dispatch the itemEditEnd event as 
if the use had removed the focus from the column being edited.

I tried just having the 2nd combo box dispatch the event in response to 
its change event, but that didn't work.

Anyone have any suggestions?
 
TIA,

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Create Help System in Flex - how to display html in a canvas or component?

[Randy Martin]

You can use an iframe to display html inside a flex app. Check out the
IFrame component from here:

 

http://ccgi.arutherford.plus.com/blog/wordpress/?p=133

 

Also, I'm toying around with using Adobe Captivate to generate flash help
files and then display them in flex. You might want to check this out.
However, the current version of Captivate generates AS2 code and is somewhat
difficult to integrate with AS3 in flex. There are several posts about
workarounds with this problem. Adobe is supposed to make Captivate generate
AS3 code with the next update.

RE: [flexcoders] ComboBox in Component won't open to Saved Value

[Randy Martin]

Here's the code for a BindableComboBox. Save it in a file called
BindableComboBox.mxml (borrowed this code from Adobe, modified slightly):

 

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
creationComplete="initComponent()">

  



  



 

Use it in your components as follows:

 

 Get the data back from the database (or webservice, or wherever) into an
ArrayCollection that has the fields myID and myName for each item in the
combo box. Then, assign the AC to the dataProvider of the BindableComboBox
and use the component in your mxml code like this:

 

 

 

I also have a search-as-you-type BindableComboBox that's a combination of
this component with an auto-complete component I found on the web (not
Adobe's)  if you're interested.

ComboBox.selectedItem will only work if you assign a *reference to an item
in the ComboBox dataProvider*.  This is rarely possible and is not in your
case.

 

What you must do is loop over the items in the CobmoBox.dataProvider and
compare the appropriate property's value to the value you want to match.
When a match is found, use the loop indes to set the ComboBox's
selectedIndex.  This is simple enough to do in a one-off situation.  

 

If you need this often, then you might want to use an extended ComboBox.
Making a generic one is a bit tricky, because the Combo Box dataProvider
items can have any properties at all.  I have an example on www.cflex.net
  (it allows you to set the data field you want to
match) and Ben forta has done one and there are others.

Learn to use a css file in your applications. Then you can change the colors by

[flexcoders] Scrolling screws up display

[Randy Martin]

This is a strange problem that only seems to happen in Flex 3 (not 2). 
I have a form that pops up in a panel that needs to scroll vertically. 
If I use the wheel or click on the scrollbar arrows, the form scrolls 
correctly. But, if I click and drag the scrollbar thumb, the display 
goes haywire. By that I mean that only parts of the display scroll and 
the rest just sits there. If you move the thumb up and down enough, 
pretty soon the entire display is just a mass of jumbled pixels.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

RE: [flexcoders] panel margin

[Randy Martin]

Just put it in your application.css file:

 

Panel {

  paddingTop = 0;

  paddingRight  = 0;

  paddingBottom = 0;

  paddingLeft = 0;

}

 

And, viola, no padding on any panels. If you need some panels to have
padding, you can add style classes to support that, or just use inline
styles on the specific panels that need padding.

Yeah.  Those kinds of things are a balancing act between fast simple results
and easy complex results.  In other words, defaults make it easy to slap
together a demo, but do not help experienced developers building complex
apps.

 

We just has a thread on the scrollbar policy being "on" by default, which
causes all kinds of aggravation in deeply nested apps.  As with padding, I'd
prefer the default to be off, and let me turn it on if I need it.

RE: [flexcoders] Options on ActionScript 3.0 Editing in FLEX

[Randy Martin]

OK. I've been reading this thread with some interest. After all, everyone
needs a little humor in their daily life. J  I'm amazed that we, as human
beings, still let words anger us so much. So what if someone tells you to
FO? "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words." If you lived in New
York or New Jersey, you'd probably hear the f-word several hundred times a
day in normal conversation. They'd just tell you to "forget about it."

 

So, Robert, my suggestion to you (and it's just a suggestion - I would never
presume to tell you what to do) is to just let it go. If you have an issue
with Josh, please take it off-list. After all, it is just between you and
Josh. Also, just as a last little observation, Robert, "thou dost protest
too much, methinks." In the immortal words of the Eagles on their Hell
Freezes Over comeback album, just "Get Over It."

 

Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong - I've been wrong at
least one other time that I can remember. J

RE: [flexcoders] permission based ui

[Randy Martin]

Actually, I do this all the time with a viewstack. The way I do it is I have
the main application check the security and setup a security level
parameter. Then, I pass this secLevel to the component that contains the
viewstack. In the viewstack component, each view in the viewstack is its own
component, so you can use the includeInLayout and visible properties of the
component to show it or not show it based on the value of secLevel. Works
like a charm.
 
Main.mxml
 

  

  ...show only a progress bar to the user while checking the security in
ActionScript
  ...you setup the secLevel

  
  

  

  

 
MainApp.mxml
 

 

  
  
  
  

 
And, voila, you only see the Setup button if you're secLevel is 0.

Hi Randy - thanks for the feedback!

I was hoping to find a way to preserve the XML file without
contaminating it with the "private var novel:XML = " bit. That way I
can create the XML file using my favorite XML generator (and use a
validating XSD schema to make sure everything is correct). When the
XML file looks good I can simply drop it into my Flex project -
overriding the previous XML file - and everything should just compile.

That approach would work if I was working in MXML using the  tag. I was hoping there was an
equivalent way to do it when working purely with ActionScript .as files.

Any ideas?

What's the best way to compile an XML file directly into ActionScript?

You can assign an XML literal to a variable as such:

var novel:XML = -My Book-

But it would be much better to have the XML in an externally managed
file. I'd much prefer to do something like:

var novel:XML = {include "Books.xml";-};

But this doesn't seem to be allowed.

I could load the XML file at runtime but then I'd have to deal with
the asynchronous nature of the loading and I'd have to handle any
runtime errors if there was a problem - yuck!

If I was working in MXML I'd be able to do something very elegant such
as using the compile-time tag 

So how do I include XML into ActionScript in a way that is as elegant
as it is for MXML?

RE: [flexcoders] AIR SQL - Datatype issues

Try this:
 
private var dbConn:SQLConnection;
private var dbFile:File;
 
private function init():void {
  dbFile =
File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("contact.db");
  dbConn = new SQLConnection();
  dbConn.addEventListener(SQLEvent.OPEN, createContactTable);
  dbConn.addEventListener(SQLErrorEvent.ERROR, sqlError);
  dbConn.open(dbFile);

 
// create the table
private function createContactTable():void {
var dbStatement:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
dbStatement.sqlConnection = dbConn;
 
var dbQuery:String = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS contact (" + 
   "contID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
AUTOINCREMENT, " + 
   "firstName TEXT, " + 
   "lastName TEXT, " + 
   "DOB DATETIME" + 
   ");";
 
dbStatement.text = dbQuery;
dbStatement.addEventListener(SQLEvent.RESULT, createdContact);
dbStatement.addEventListener(SQLErrorEvent.ERROR, sqlError);
dbStatement.execute();
}
 
// put a contact in the table
   private function createdContact(event:SQLEvent):void {
var dbStatement:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
dbStatement.sqlConnection = dbConn;
var dbQuery:String = "INSERT INTO contact (firstName, lastName, dob) " +

   "VALUES (:fn, :ln, :dob);";
dbStatement.text = dbQuery;
dbStatement.parameters[":fn"] = "John";
dbStatement.parameters[":ln"] = "Doe";

 
// set dob to 11/28/1973 -- remember, the month field is 0-based
dbStatement.parameters[":dob"] = new Date(1973, 10, 28);

dbStatement.addEventListener(SQLEvent.RESULT, insertComplete);
dbStatement.addEventListener(SQLErrorEvent.ERROR, sqlError);
dbStatement.execute();
   }

That's it. SQLite has a datetime object just like a normal sql server. The
above code is incomplete -- is doesn't have the error handler or the
insertComplete handler.

Hi Fidel,



Actually, the version of SQLite that AIR uses has been customized to
implement dates as julian dates and stores them as REAL. My issue arises in
that I’m getting the dates originally from a MySQL DateTime column and still
want to be able to use that form of formatting to query the local database
with date ranges and ordering…



It would be nice if there were better examples of using the AIR SQL engine…

The database engine used in Air is SQLite. I am not that experienced
with SQLite, but I suppose that there should be a DATE and TIME
datatypes. I have seen people use Text and Real for storing date
values. So, just do a search on the web for sqlite.

All the best,

I second this. The problems I had all went away after I got rid of the
config files for prior versions of FB. You might also try starting FB with
the -clean option. In the flexbuilder.ini file (or the eclipse.ini file if
you're using the FB plug-in), insert -clean as the first line and save the
file. Restart flex builder.

On top of that I have deadlines to meet this week.

Is there a doc i can refer to get a complete list of changes..

What's the best way to roll back to beta 3, at least so i can get

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 3: Cloning WebService instance

[Randy Martin]

You really need to take a look at the webservice introspection wizard in FB
3. The code it generates handles asynchronous calls to the webservice
automatically. Click on the Data menu and select Import Web Service
(WSDL)... Follow the directions in the wizard. Only SOAP 1.1 is supported by
the wizard, so be sure to select the correct SOAP version when doing the
import.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 3: Cloning WebService instance



With what I want to achieve, webservices that I am referring to are 
instances of the same webservices (one single url).

Single WebService instance will not work on my application because my 
app sometimes need to call different/same operations concurrently.

I do want to mention the issue I am facing if I am not using the 
cloning-approach.
Please take a look at this code:
class CustomWS
{
public getWS():WebService
{
var myWS:WebService = new WebService;
myWS.wsdl = "HYPERLINK
"http://BoogaBooga/coolFlex.asmx?wsdl"http://BoogaBooga/-coolFlex.-asmx?wsdl
";
myWS.loadWSDL(-);
}

public populateGridWS(-):void
{
var ws:WebService = getWS();
ws.populateGrid(-);
}
}

As you can see each time getWS() is being called, wsdl needs to be 
loaded, which calling HTTP request.
That's why I would like to clone the webservice instance (myWS) after 
the wsdl has been loaded so that I can reuse it.

But if you do have other suggestions on how to resolve this in a 
better way, I am all ears :)

Hello

I have created a DataGrid component whose last column is rendered/edited
with a checkbox. This checks whether the row data will be sent to the server
or not.
Rather than forcing the user to check all of the rows manually, I have a
"Select All" button which commands the selection of all the checkboxes in
that column. 
My problem is that I can't write the code to implement the selection. It is
AS code most likely, but I could not find an example going through
docs/forums/-whatever.
How do I loop over the DataGridColumn object to get the CheckBox instances ?

Can anyone point me to useful examples/references ?

Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] again tool tips

[Randy Martin]

Define myTT outside the function. One other thing, if you define myTT as an
ImageToolTip, you can't return it from the function createTip because you
defined createTip as returning CustomToolTip. So, either you have to define
myTT as a CustomToolTip or you have to say that createTip returns an
ImageToolTip. Like this:
 
private var myTT:ImageToolTip;
 
private function createTip(s:String):ImageToolTip {
  myTT = new ImageToolTip();
  myTT.myImage = s;
  s = "{data.image}";
  return myTT;
}
 
or
 
private var myTT:CustomToolTip;
 
private function createTip(s:String):CustomToolTip {
  myTT = new ImageToolTip();
  myTT.myImage = s;
  s = "{data.image}";
  return myTT;
}

Hi all,

First of all , I'm new to flex. Already bought a few books but none 
describes this issue in detail.

I'm having huge trouble accessing object arrays from SOAP. I'm using 
Flex Builder 3, Version: 3.0.190133, the last beta version.
I used the Import Web Services wizard to import 
HYPERLINK
"http://ws.marcocova.com/SOAP/af4.php?wsdl"http://ws.marcocova-.com/SOAP/-af
4.php?wsdl . My partner who writes the 
SOAP code, has tried several approaches. In the approaches before the 
current one, I couldn't even get a simple var, it would always come in 
as null. Now I can get simple vars like strings or numbers, but I'm 
unable to get Arrays.

Below is the code I'm using. At this moment when I debug I'm getting the 
error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null 
object reference.

First of all , I'm new to flex. Already bought a few books but none 
describes this issue in detail.

I'm having huge trouble accessing object arrays from SOAP. I'm using 
Flex Builder 3, Version: 3.0.190133, the last beta version.
I used the Import Web Services wizard to import 
HYPERLINK
"http://ws.marcocova.com/SOAP/af4.php?wsdl"http://ws.marcocova-.com/SOAP/-af
4.php?wsdl . My partner who writes the 
SOAP code, has tried several approaches. In the approaches before the 
current one, I couldn't even get a simple var, it would always come in 
as null. Now I can get simple vars like strings or numbers, but I'm 
unable to get Arrays.

Below is the code I'm using. At this moment when I debug I'm getting the 
error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null 
object reference.

issue for one week without results... Already checked the posts on the 
list, since 14/11/2007.

Thanks in advance.

RE: [flexcoders] Prohibiting Old Chart from Displaying while new Chart renders

[Randy Martin]

Put a progress bar in a model popup window when you call the data provider
routine. Add a listener for the result event from the data provider routine,
and take the model popup down when you finish processing the result from
your data provider.

Well really I think the problem could be solved (1 way anyway) by just
telling it not to move to the next view (viewstack) until my
initDataDrovider function finishes.  Is there a way to do this? I'm not used
to things operating in parallel. I need the program to wait until the
dataprovider function returns.

I have a chart that, at year level, allows users to drill down into
individual months.
 
The problem is that if the user drills down into march, then comes back up
to the year level (via viewstack bread-crumb trail button), and then drills
down into October, for a spilt second the march data will still be on the
screen.  I have been knocking my head against the wall all day (on a
weekend!) trying to prohibit the old data from continuing to show until the
new data is rendered but I cant get anything to work.
 
Any ideas?

RE: [flexcoders] Referencing components from custom controls

I'm assuming that your main.mxml contains your  tag, so try
this:

Hello,

I'm a noob in flex. I have no training on it but I try to learn it as 
much as I could.

I think my problem is simple to you guys.

I have this in my main.mxml code



Now, if I reference it in an action script file like so...

imgNewMessage.-visible=false;

it works fine.

But if I try to do that in a custom control, like this

package mycontrol.container-s
{
import mx.controls.-Alert;
import flash.display.-DisplayObject;
import flash.events.-Event;
import flash.events.-MouseEvent;
import flash.events.-TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.-Timer; 
.
.
.
public function doSomething(-):void {
imgNewMessage.-visible=false;
}

}

I'm getting an error. Its like it does'nt know imgNewMessage.

How can I reference it? I thought components are accessible globally.

Hope you guys can help.

Thanks in advance.

that doesn't look right, shouldn't you be adding your component as a
child in the new state. 

I find the best way to code states is in the flex builder design tool,
it is too easy to get the syntax wrong. Switch to your "login" state
and add your custom control and you'll get exactly the code you need
generated for you.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Binding ValueObjects

[Randy Martin]

I think what you should do is create a model in mxml from the value object
and then bind the model to the visual display components and the visual
display components to the model. How the data gets into the value object
from your database, or wherever, is still the same. For example,
 
//  value object
package valueobjects {
  [RemoteClass(alias="contacts.db.PersonBean")]
 
  [Bindable]
  public class PersonVO {
public var personID:Number = 0;
public var lName:String = "";
public var fName:String = "";
public var DOB:Date = null;
public var Telephone:String = "";
public var Address:String = "";
public var City:String = "";
public var State:String = "";
public var Zip:String = "";

public function PersonVO() {
}
  }
}

Then, in your mxml code, pass in the key, find the data, and display it.
Binding in this way allows you to change the data in either the display
fields or the value object:
 
  

  
 
  

  
 
   
  
{Number(Person_personID.text)}
{Person_lName.text as String}
{Person_fName.text as String}
{Person_DOB.selectedDate as Date}
{Person_Telephone.text as String}
{Person_Address.text as String}
{Person_City.text as String}
{Person_State.text as String}
{Person_Zip.text as String}
  
 
  

  


  


  


  
  


  


  


  


  


  

  
 
You can see a full working demo of this code on my blog at HYPERLINK
"http://www.martinized.us/"http://www.martinized.us/

Randy

Ah - good it is Cairngorm.

Initially bind the VO to the component. Well, actually I do bind it's
properties directly to the individual elements of the component initially.

Then what I do is create another Event call something like UpdateVOEvent
and dispatch at the Command level. This then triggers a standard Command
called something like UpdateVoCommand that you can call from all over the
place to trigger the update. Currently I'm actually using it to reset big
forms to their original values. But in answer to your question - the way
I do it is to have a two step process - change the property and then
update the VO.

I think I may have misunderstood the question - how exactly are you
binding a VO to a component without the component knowing which properties
in the VO relate to which elements of the component?

I once used window.onunload for that. But I do not know if that's the
best suited event for your needs, especially when it comes to
crossbrowser issues.

I have a the following object hierarchy:

TabNavigator
tab1_panel (first tab in series of 4)
myCanvas (canvas in the first tab)
myText (text control within the above canvas)

How do I change the text value of myText in the above example?

Before I added the second canvas above (myCanvas), I could do the
following to change the text value: 
Object(tab1_-panel.getChildBy-Name("myText"-)).text = "Tony";

Thanks

All you have to do is set the horizontalCenter=0 and verticalCenter=0 on the

Hi Garcia,

Thanks a lot for the tip. Muito obrigado mesmo.

I will give it a try. But that is a hell of a lot work for a simple
solution. :D

RE: [flexcoders] Re: how to Avoid - Compbo box fills up the first item when databinding is used

[Randy Martin]

You can also set the selectedIndex to -1. That will not select anything.
When I'm using data binding with the comboBox, and I'm using a value object,
I usually set the initial values for the comboBoxes in the constructor for
the value object class.

RE: [flexcoders] Help with Printing (relates to Scaling Object, just before sending printjob)

[Randy Martin]

You can have a function that starts the print job, gets the page width and
height, and then the last thing it does is attach an event listener for an
end-of-scaling event and fires off the scaling function. The scaling
function finishes and dispatches the end-of-scaling event, which runs your
event listener function. The event listener function adds the scaled object
to the print job and sends the job to the printer. Like this:
 
private var printJob:FlexPrintJob;
 
private function doPrint():void {
  printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
  if (!printJob.start()) return;
  yourScalingComponent.addEventListener("scalingDone", finishPrint);
  doScaling(printJob.pageWidth, printJob.pageHeight);
}
 
private function doScaling(pw:Number, ph:Number):void {
  var scaleJob:MyScalingComponent = new MyScalingComponent();
  scaleJob.pageWidth = pw;
  scaleJob.pageHeight = ph;
  scaleJob.scaleIt();
}
 
private function finishPrint(event:scalingDone) {
  var scaledObj:ScaledObj = event.result as ScaledObj;
  printJob.addObject(scaledObj, FlexPrintJobScaleType.NONE);
  printJob.send();
 
 
In your scaling component, define an event
 

  [Event(name="scalingDone", type="events.CustomEvent")]

 
 
Then when the scaling is complete, dispatch the scalingDone event:
 
this.dispatchEvent("scalingDone", scaledObj); 
 
 
The custom event looks like this (if you put it in a directory named
events):
 
package events {
  import flash.events.Event;
 
  public class CustomEvent extends Event {
public var myObj:Object = null;
  
public function CustomEvent(type:String, obj:Object) {
  super(type, true, true);
  this.myObj = obj;
}
  }
}

Subject: [flexcoders] Help with Printing (relates to Scaling Object, just

Greetings All!

I have a major problem, where I have a function that properly scales an
Object *just* before sending it to the printer.

The issue is, the Object isn't scaling fast enough, so by the time it
gets added to the PrintJob, it still isn't the proper scale - and looks
completely wrong on the actual printout.

Initially, I figured I could simply scale the Object first (in an
entirely different function), then create some intentional pauses in the
code (or use callLater in the right places), THEN run my PrintJob
function code. BUT, my scaling functions rely on information brought
back from the PrintJob - like PageWidth and PageHeight - which means, my
Scaling Function must be called from within my PrintJob function.

Bottom line, is that everything is happening too quickly, for the
PrintJob to capture the properly scaled object.

Is there a way for me to insert some intentional pauses, to slow things
down, and give the object to be printed, time to properly scale, before
getting sent to the PrintJob?

Thank you in advance, for any help you can offer.

Mike

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Loading mask or overlay for datagrids while loading

[Randy Martin]

Why not a popup with a progressBar? If there's nothing to report progress
on, you can just use a Timer to increment the progress bar and have the
event listener handler get rid of the popup when whatever you're doing is
finished.

RE: [flexcoders] What's the best way to bind ValueOject model data to a form and back again

[Randy Martin]

I've just posted a little demo on my blog, http://www.martinized.us/, that
should answer some of your questions. The data entry form contains a date
field that allows both selection from the date chooser and direct entry with
validation into the date field. There is also a fair amount of code that
demonstrates data binding to value objects, entry fields, and back-end
remote objects.

HTH,
Randy

Use a DateField component for displaying/editing Date type data, in
combination with a DateFormatter for displaying the right format in the
DateField textfield.

Not sure if the following will make sense, but here's something I've used:

// in a Script block
// currentNewsItem is a VO retrieved from the Model.
   [Bindable]
   private var currentNewsItem:NewsVO;

Check out the TextInputMask.as and the MaskFormatter.as components generated

there's a masked text input component on the Adobe Flex exchange that would

try this out.. I think the title bar of the Alert is manged by the

them or change the name of it and try the one below.
Alert{
/*borderStyle:-solid;*/
borderThicknessLeft-:4;
borderThicknessRigh-t:4;
borderThicknessBott-om:4;

[flexcoders] Re: AS3 classes as MXML to enclose other tags

[Randy Martin]

This really isn't rocket science. Suppose you have an AS3 class defined
like this:

package controls {
   import mx.controls.Alert;

   public class MyAlerts extends Alert {
 [Embed(source="../images/error.gif")]
 private static var iconError:Class;

 public static function error(msg:String,
closeHandler:Function=null):void {
   show(msg, "Error", Alert.OK, null, closeHandler, iconError);
 }
   }
}

This defines a new Alert class called MyAlerts. You name the file
MyAlerts.as and put it in the controls directory. Now you can do this:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
 "
   xmlns:mycontrols="controls.*">

   
 
   


Save this bit of code in MyErrorMsg.mxml. As far as Flex is concerned
MyErrorMsg is another class that extends your MyAlerts class, so you can
now do this:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
 "
   xmlns:myerror="controls.*"
   layout="absolute">

   
 
   

   

 
   


Get it now? Flex treats all .mxml files and .as files as separate
classes, so when the base tag in an mxml file is your custom class, the
mxml file is just creating another class by extending your custom class.
You could have done this in actionscript instead of mxml for the
MyErrorMsg class:

package controls {
   import controls.MyAlerts;

   public function MyErrorMsg extends MyAlerts {
 public static function showMsg(msg:String):void {
   MyAlerts.error(msg);
 }
   }
}

In either case, the application mxml file would have been the same.

HTH,
Randy

RE: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Re: Loading Web Service from WebSphere

[Randy Martin]

My suggestion is that you use FB3 beta 2 and use the WSDL wizard to generate
the classes necessary to use the webservice. I did this for two of our
webservices, and I had to do only minor tweaks of the generated code to get
it to work flawlessly. Pick from the menu in FB or Eclipse, Data | Import
Web Service (WSDL) ..., then be sure you pick the SOAP 1.1 port in the
wizard. The wizard does not support SOAP 1.2 yet.

[flexcoders] Problems printing in Flex

[Randy Martin]

I'm having all kinds of problems printing from Flex. I know it's supposed to
be really easy -- just use the FlexPrintJob, etc. -- but I can't seem to get
the PrintDataGrid to do what I want. I want the rows in the grid to be
variable height and adjust to the data, so I set variableRowHeight = true on
the grid component. This had absolutely no effect on the printout. I set
wrapText = true and wrapHeaderText = true, and it tries to wrap the text,
but just clips it off because the variableRowHeight is not working.
 
Help, anyone!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: how do I freeze the users actions while data is loading

[Randy Martin]

Consider using States. You can have the app in one state and the progress
meter for your downloading in another. Whenever you're downloading data,
just make the progress-meter state the currentState. When you're all done
with the data processing, switch back to the other state.

this is cake in a framework like Cairngorm.  Setup a command, event, etc.
one event would be 'showLoading'
 which has a command that increments a variable by 1 and if this variable >
0, shows the popup.  Another event is called say 'hideLoading'.  It
decrements this variable, if this variable is <1, destroy the popup.

I have one last question about this. When do I destroy the pop-up? 
I'd like it to stay on until all the data has been parsed, sorted 
then loaded into the dataGrid. I thought it would be on the 
dataGrid in UpdateComplete, but that fires off everytime the DG 
updates (doesn't it?). So when is the best time to do this?

I would definitely be interested. There are about 5-6 other developers who

[flexcoders] Re: About Combobox filling up the first item by default when we databinding

[Randy Martin]

>From the Flex docs for ComboBox:

prompt property
   prompt:String
   [read-write]


The prompt for the ComboBox control. A prompt is a String that is
displayed in the TextInput portion of the ComboBox when selectedIndex =
-1. It is usually a String like "Select one...". If there is no prompt,
the ComboBox control sets seletedIndex to 0 and displays the first item
in the dataProvider.

So, all you have to do is set prompt = " " in the tag and set
selectedIndex = -1 in your focusIn function after you set the
dataProvider. I do this all the time. Works like a charm. You can also
set the prompt to something more meaningful, like "Select a Family
Name..."

[flexcoders] No debugging source code in FB3 beta 2

[Randy Martin]

The fact that FB3 beta 2 does not come with all the source code is driving
me crazy!! I can't run the debugger because invariably, somewhere during the
step-through, it comes to a point where it can't find the source code in the
framework.
 
When is this problem going to be resolved? I keep having to go back to FB
2.01 with sections of the code to debug it. It's a real pain in the ass.

[flexcoders] Re: Problem with Webservice Introspection Wizard in FB 3 Beta 2

[Randy Martin]

After searching the bug database, this is already a bug that has
supposedly been fixed, but I guess the fix won't be available until the
next beta release. According to the bug report, if you don't select the
soap1.1 port, the Finish button is supposed to be disabled, but it's
not.

I can live with this until the next release by just making sure I always
select the soap1.1 port in the wizard.

[flexcoders] Need help with error in code from webservice wizard

[Randy Martin]

I generated code using the webservice wizard, and then wrote a simple
mxml file to test the code. I get this error:

1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getClass through a reference
with static type Class.

It occurs in the following code:

/**
  * Internal event handler to process a successful operation call from
the server
  * The result is decoded using the schema and operation settings and
then the
  * events get passed on to the actual facade that the user employs in
the application
  * @private
  */

private function processResult(result:Object,wrappedData:Object):void
{
   var token:AsyncToken = wrappedData.returnToken;
   var currentOperation:WSDLOperation = wrappedData.operation;
   var decoder:SOAPDecoder = new SOAPDecoder();



   decoder.resultFormat="object";
   decoder.ignoreWhitespace = true;
   decoder.makeObjectsBindable=true;
   decoder.wsdlOperation = currentOperation;
   decoder.schemaManager = currentOperation.schemaManager;



   var body:Object = result.message.body;
   var stringResult:String = String(body);

   if (stringResult == null || stringResult == "")
 return;



   var soapResult:SOAPResult =
decoder.decodeResponse(result.message.body);
   if (soapResult.isFault)
   {
 var faults:Array = soapResult.result as Array;

 for each (var soapFault:Fault in faults)
 {
   var soapFaultEvent:FaultEvent =
FaultEvent.createEvent(soapFault,token,null);
   token.dispatchEvent(soapFaultEvent);
 }
   } else {
 result = decoder.decodeResponse(result.message.body).result;



 if (result is ArrayCollection)
 {
   //shoud upcast to specific type here
   var arrayTypedClass:Class =
SchemaTypeRegistry.getClass(currentOperation.outputMessage.parts[0].type\
);

   result = new arrayTypedClass(result.source);
 }



 var event:ResultEvent = ResultEvent.createEvent(result,token,null);
 token.dispatchEvent(event);
   }
}

The statement where the error occurs is highlighted above. The comment
says I should upcast to a specific type here, but I don't know what that
means. Which specific type? How do I determine what type to upcast to?

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,
Randy

[flexcoders] Re: Problem with Webservice Introspection Wizard in FB 3 Beta 2

[Randy Martin]

OK. I found the cause of the problem. The webservice has two soap 
ports -- a soap1.1 port and a soap1.2 port. If you use the soap1.2 
port, the wizard does not generate the event classes. If you use the 
soap1.1 post, the event classes are generated.

This is a bug in the webservice wizard, right?

[flexcoders] Problem with Webservice Introspection Wizard in FB 3 Beta 2

[Randy Martin]

The wizard finishes, and I have a nice set of AS classes from the WSDL.
However, when I try and use any of the classes, I get compile errors all
over the place.
 
Apparently, the wizard creates references to custom events in the main
service class like this:
 
/**
 * Dispatches when a call to the operation GetUserInfoEx completes with
success
 * and returns some data
 * @eventType GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent
 */
[Event(name="GetUserInfoExSoapOut_result",
type="GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent")]

/**
 * Dispatches when a call to the operation FindUsers completes with
success
 * and returns some data
 * @eventType FindUsersSoapOutResultEvent
 */
[Event(name="FindUsersSoapOut_result",
type="FindUsersSoapOutResultEvent")]

But, there no supporting classes for the event types are generated. So, I
get errors when the main class tries to do stuff like:
 
  /**
   * @see IADUtils#addGetUserInfoEx()
   */
  public function addgetUserInfoExEventListener(listener:Function):void
  {
 
addEventListener(GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent.GetUserInfoExSoapOut_RESULT
,listener);
  }
   
  /**
   * @private
   */
  private function _GetUserInfoEx_populate_results(event:ResultEvent):void
  {
var e:GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent = new
GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent();
e.result = event.result as Object;
getUserInfoEx_lastResult = e.result;
dispatchEvent(e);
  }

The addEventListener call and the  new GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent
generate errors because the compiler doesn't know anything about the custom
event types.
 
Is this a bug in the wizard, or am I supposed to code those custom event
classes myself? And, if I'm supposed to code the custom events myself, are
they just normal result events, or is there some additional code I don't
know about?
 
There doesn't seem to be any good documentation (flex docs, tutorials,
sample code, etc) on how to use the code generated by the wizard. Does
anyone know of any examples?
 
TIA,
Randy

There's an LCDS wizard in Flex Builder 3? I've been running FB3 for months,

[Randy Martin]

I solved this problem by rearranging some of the code -- moving the 
call to remoteObject to a function that is called later in the app.

Here's the code for the Adobe BindableComboBox.mxml that's generated by
the ColdFusion Application Wizard. This will do what you want.

RE: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Flex3 Beta 1 vs Beta 2 SWF file sizes - Debug code not removed?

In FB3 beta 2, only one swf gets built -- the debug version. When you're
done developing, you export the production swf (without debug). Click on

Subject: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Flex3 Beta 1 vs Beta 2 SWF file sizes - Debug
code not removed?




I've been doing some experimentation with RSLs for reducing file sizes 
and I ran into something interesting.

When I build my code with FB3 Beta 1, Hotfix 2.0.1, my output file size 
is 897kb.  When I build the EXACT same code with FB3 Beta 2, Hotfix 
2.0.2, my output file size is 1319kb.

This happens to be the same size as the -debug.swf I get from Beta 1, 
which makes me think that FB3 Beta 2 does not remove the debug code 
from the swf it exports.

Has anyone else seen this issue?  Is there some new setting I need to 
be using?  A workaround?

Thanks,
Shaun

Subject: [flexcoders] list with combo editor



Hi All,



I’ve been struggling to understand how to make a custom component that will
behave like something I have in an Access GUI I did.  The control allows you
to add people to a “selected people” list by choosing from a list of people.
It needs to be a list or one column datagrid that is bound to a
“SelectedPeople” collection of Person objects (or PersonID ints).  It will
always have one “blank” entry to use as a starting place to add another
person.  When the user clicks on a “new” or existing row in the list, they
get a combobox which allows them to choose (or optionally type with
autocompletion) to select the next person to be added to the list.  When
they choose one, that Person object will be added to the “SelectedPeople”
collection, a new blank entry gets added to the list.  Here’s a screenshot
from my existing Access GUI:









I’ve been experimenting with ItemEditors and lists in Flex, but it’s just
eluding me how to do this.  I’ve got something sort of working, but it’s not
sweet:



HYPERLINK
"http://thosmos.com/develop/bin/Tests.html"http://thosmos.-com/develop/-bin/
Tests.-html  (right click for source)



What I’m stuck on is 

1.   How to get the object from the combobox datasource passed back and
added/updated in the data source for the selectedPeople list and make that
the selected item.  It seems to want to replace just the display field of
the currently selected item, rather than the item itself.

2.   when the user clicks on an existing selection, how to make the
combobox start with that person selected rather than starting from the
beginning. 



I realize this may be a vague question, but any kind of details, insight or
general advice on an approach to take would be great.

I am just starting to look at the drawing capabilities of Flex. I'm
trying to get an example working from the Essential ActionScript 3.0
book but it does not work for me. It seems awfully simple. Here is
what the book gives for the example to draw 4 different lines:

var canvas:Shape = new Shape();
canvas.graphics.-lineStyle(-1, 0x00);
canvas.graphics.-lineTo(100, 0);
canvas.graphics.-lineStyle(-5, 0xFF);
canvas.graphics.-lineTo(100, 100);
canvas.graphics.-lineStyle(-10, 0x00FF00);
canvas.graphics.-lineTo(0, 100);
canvas.graphics.-lineStyle(-15, 0xFF);
canvas.graphics.-lineTo(0, 0);

addChild(canvas)-; 

I created a mxml application and placed the above code in a myInit()
function and I call the myInit() function from the creationComplete
event of the Application object.

When I run the application, nothing happens. The book says it should
show a simple box with different sized lines. 

Anything else I need to do?

Thanks!

Hi Scott,
 
I have been through many Flex Tutorials but unfortunately our world lacks of
tutorials for connectivity with ColdFusion. I am an experianced CF developer
but unfortunately I cannot figure out how to proceed with data through Flex
and CF. 
 
Indeed - your way is much easier to write and better to understand than the
one that I have posted. I will keep that one :-) Thanks!
 
But still... the 'fault' function in the HTTPService tag is always
triggered! Even with your own way.
 
How can I handle this? All I want is to be able to 'alert' the users that
there is some kind of error (I know how to get the exact error message
through the event handler) but I have no clue how to trigger this function
if and only if there is some kind of problem in my CFM file. 
 
any ideas?
 
Thanks,
George

menuBar



Hi,

I've tried numerous approaches and searched a number of blogs for
this. Is there a way to adjust the space between text menuitems in a
MenuBar ? I would think one might be able to use horizontalGap or
padding or margins but that does not seem to be available ? I know I
could modify the actionscript but am just wondering if there is a
cleaner/simpler way via a parameter or style that I have missed ?

So rather than:

File Edit Create

I'd want:

File Edit Create

Thanks for any tips

First, there's no element type Lab in the mx namespace. Second, even if
there was, there is no tag ending to your

I've tried to add my own namespace to allow me to insert my own 
components, a process I've done several times before, and I get the 
error: Element type "mx:Lab" must be followed by either attribute 
specifications, ">" or "/>".

I am using FB 3 Milestone 3. The full MXML for the file is this:

If it were me, I'd just change the name of the field in the SQL select
statement, like:
 
select
  [ADDRESS_LINE#2] as addr2,
-  .
  .
from.
 
Then use addr2 in your app.

What alternative approach would you suggest Paul? I use them to help
me keep track of everything, as I'm using both a MS SQL database and
an ODBC linked database to a proprietry format. I'm open to
alternative method suggestions.

RE: [flexcoders] pixel font [old] issue

[Randy Martin]

I've always had good results like this:
 
In your application.css file (or in a  block), add these kinds of
font statements:
 
@font-face {
  src: url("fonts/MyriadWebPro.ttf") ;
  fontFamily: Myriad;
  unicodeRange:
  U+0021-U+007E; /* Normal Chars */
}
 
@font-face {
  src: url("fonts/MyriadWebPro-Bold.ttf") ;
  fontFamily: Myriad;
  fontWeight: bold;
  unicodeRange:
  U+0021-U+007E; /* Normal Chars */
}
 
@font-face {
  src: url("fonts/MyriadWebPro-Italic.ttf") ;
  fontFamily: Myriad;
  fontStyle: italic;
  unicodeRange:
  U+0021-U+007E; /* Normal Chars */
}
 
@font-face {
  src: url("fonts/Myriad-BoldItalic.ttf") ;
  fontFamily: Myriad;
  fontWeight: bold;
  fontStyle: italic;
  unicodeRange:
  U+0021-U+007E; /* Normal Chars */
}
 
You can change the unicodeRange to include whichever characters you need in
your application (see HYPERLINK
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/fonts.html#descdef-unicode-rang
e"www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/fonts.html#descdef-unicode-range).
Remember, if you don't need all the characters, then only include the one's
you actually need. This will make the swf file smaller.
 
Then, you can use these fonts in styles for different components. Like:
 
DateChooser {
  fontFamily: Myriad;   /* here's the font you declared in
the @font-face statements */
  fontSize: 12;
  fontWeight: normal;   /* this is now MyriadWebPro */
  headerColors: #84affe, #ff;
  fillColors: #0057fe, #ff, #209820, #ff;
  todayColor: #0057fe;
  rollOverColor: #84affe;
  selectionColor: #6cbb6c;
  borderColor: #66;
  backgroundColor: #ff;
  themeColor: #209820;
  dropShadowEnabled: true;
  shadowDirection: right;
  shadowDistance: 1;
  headerStyleName: "mydateChooserHeaderStyle";
  weekDayStyleName: "mydateChooserWeekDayStyle";
}
 
.mydateChooserHeaderStyle {
  fontWeight: bold;  /* this becomes MyriadWebPro-Bold */
  fontStyle: normal;
  textDecoration: none;
}
 
.mydateChooserWeekDayStyle {
  color: #0b333c;
}
 
You get the general idea. I use this all the time, and I've never had any
trouble with blurry fonts.
 
Hope this helps,
Randy

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Cannot get unselected Tab to be pure white color...

[Randy Martin]

You can get rid of the border around the tabs, keep the border around the
tab body, and make the unselected tabs white like this:
 
TabNavigator {
  tabWidth: 80;
  tabHeight: 25;
  horizontalAlign: right;
  horizontalGap: 3;
  backgroundColor: #EE;
  tabStyleName: "myTabs";
  selectedTabTextStyleName: "mySelectedTabs";
  borderThickness: 1;
  borderColor: #33;
}
 
.myTabs {
  highlightAlphas: 1, 1;
  fillAlphas: 1, 1;
  fillColors: #FF, #FF;
  cornerRadius: 0;
  fontSize: 12;
  color: #CC;
}
 
.mySelectedTabs {
  color: #66;
}
 
Unfortunately, this makes the selected tab the same color as the
TabNavigator backgroundColor. If you want to distinguish the selected tab
from the others, you need to make the TabNavigator backgroundColor different
than white, or in this case #EE.
 
Hope this helps.

Another thing I am having trouble with is getting rid of the borders
around the tab (the top part, NOT the tab body)

Any idea what style I have to set? The documentation seems incomplete. 

Thanks!
