[flexcoders] AIR - SQL lite Question
Hi there, I get a strange error in one of my sql queries. Here is the code: sqlQuery += SELECT DISTINCT tLibs.libID, tLibs.libName FROM tLibs; sqlQuery += LEFT JOIN tFilecards ON tLibs.libID=tFilecards.libID WHERE; sqlQuery += tLibs.userID=+selectedUserId+ AND tFilecards.question LIKE '%+ mySearchString +%' OR; sqlQuery += tLibs.userID=+selectedUserId+ AND tFilecards.answer LIKE '%+ mySearchString +%'; mySqlStatement.itemClass = LibVO; and I get the following error: ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property tLibs_libID on de.brainStar.vo.LibVO. Where does the _ come from? The property is called libID in my value object. the strange thing is that everything works fine when I get rid of the DISTINCT. But I obviously need the DISTINCT though. Please help this is killing me :-( Cheers Robin
[flexcoders] adobe air and flex 3.3 - Invoke Event
Hi there, I found this article on the adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/startup_options.html The download links don't really work though and it says that you need the version 3.3 of flex sdk to get the example to work. I installed a pre release 3.3 but there's still noreason property in the InvokeEvent. Basically all I need to do is to determine if the Air app was launched at login or manually by the user. In 3.2 the (and 3.3) the arguments array of the InvokeEvent does not give me this information. Any ideas? Thank you! Robin
[flexcoders] alert control - blurry rect
Hi there, I'm building an Air App with a custom Chrome. The canvas that holds all UI components has rounded corners and a drop shadow effect. As a result the root Application (stage) has transparent areas (e.g. in the corners of application). I like the effect of the Alert control when it puts a shape above the rest of the application and makes it look blurry. My problem: this shape is a rectangle. This looks kind of odd because the visible part of my application is a smaller rectangle with rounded corners. The blurry alert rectangle overlaps the canvas that holds all visible UI components of my app. My Question: Is there a way to mask that alert box (the actual blurry shape which is created by it)? Btw. how do I change the color of the blurry shape? Any ideas? Thanks! Robin
Re: [flexcoders] alert control - blurry rect
Hi Anirudh!
Setting the modalTransparency to 0.01 works perfectly for my purposes.
Nice and QUICK solution :-).
Thanks a lot!
Cheers

Hi Robin,
The background overlay part is done by PopupManager (PopupManagerImpl)
rather than Alert. There is an mx_internal property called
modalWindowClass in PopupManagerImpl which you can set to change the
default FlexSprite that is used. But its graphics object is cleared
and drawRect is called in showModalWindow. You'd have to hack past
that to draw your own shape.
Check out the modalTransparency, modalTransparencyBlur,
modalTransparencyColor and modalTransparencyDuration styles for Alert.
To make the overlay almost invisible, put this in your CSS:
Alert
{
/* it can be set to 0 for no effect at all on the parent
* window. But setting it to 0.1 retains the nice blur effect
* without having the rectangular overlay visible */
modalTransparency: 0.1;
}

[flexcoders] fullscreen mode in AIR
Hi all, I working on an air app with a fixed size if 1024*768. The minimum system requirements for the app include a screen resolution of at least 1024*768 pixels. The problem that a resolution of 1024*768 is actually not big enough because of the system task bars. stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; is not an option because then the user can type text into text fields. fscommand(fullscreen, true); does not seem to work in Air either. Is there a workaround? Thanks for any input! Cheers Robin

Subject: [flexcoders] huge AMF messages
Hi all,
I planning to build an AIR application. In this application the user
can create libraries that consist of multiple value Entry objects.
Each EntryVO should look like this (there will be more properties of
course) :
package vo
{
[RemoteClass(alias=vo.EntryVO)]
import flash.net.registerClassAlias;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
public class EntryVO
{
[Bindable]
public var image_data:ByteArray;
[Bindable]
public var image_name:String;
public static function register():void
{
registerClassAlias(vo.EntryVO, EntryVO);
}
}
}
To simplify the uploading and downloading process I want to transfer
images as ByteArrays to a .NetBackend.
My question: What are my limitations here file size wise? Let's say
I have 10 EntryVO. An each of these
has an 1 MB byte array embedded.
That
means that my libraryVO (10 x 1 MB EntryVO) would have a file size
of 10 MB.
Will this work at all? Is there a progress event for remote
operations? I guess it will take a while to transfer
a 10 MB AMF message.
Thanks for any input!

[flexcoders] drawing image from jpeg-encoded byte array
Hi there,
This must be really simple but I just can't find the solution...
How do I decode a jpeg-encoded byte array so that I can draw/display
an image from it?
The set pixels method obviously only works for raw image byte arrays.
private function doEncodingAndDecoding():void
{
var originalBitMap:Bitmap = Bitmap(image1.content);
var encoder:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder();
var myCompressedByteArray:ByteArray =
encoder.encode(originalBitMap.bitmapData);
myCompressedByteArray.position = 0;
var newBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(image1.content.width,
image1.content.height);
var myRect:Rectangle = newBitmapData.rect;
// :-(
newBitmapData.setPixels(myRect,myCompressedByteArray);
//
var newBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(newBitmapData);
image2.source = newBitmap;
}
Thanks for any input!

[flexcoders] Cairngorm - reload wsdl file
Hi all, I'm creating an app using Cairngorm and Swf Studio. (The app runs form CD) While the application initializes i need to talk to a webservice. The problem is that the service locator class loads the wsdl file automatically. If the user is not online the wsdl can obviously not be loaded. In this case I want to display an error message (e.g. please check your connection...) If the user presses ok I want to reload the wsdl before I attempt to make another service call. Is there any way I can reload the wsdl file or re-initialize the service locator? Thanks Robin

Hi Robin,
I have good news :), both of these issues should go away by setting a
single attribute on your WebService object. Try setting
makeObjectsBindable = false. This will cause Flex to deserialize your
ws responses into regular Object and Array instances instead of
ObjectProxy and ArrayCollection instances.

Remoting is definitely a good alternative and would probably make things

Collection data type. Sending arrays as array collections to a web

the VOs consitent on both ends. What's the solution for this?
2. When I receive a complex data type from a .net web service flex

exactly the same properties as underlying VO.
E.g. I get the following error code if I try to cast the result of a
webservice call to my custom data Type TelephoneNumber. Note casting
to an Object works fine.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
mx.utils::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to webserviceClasses.TelephoneNumber.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Darron's ObjectTranslator works perfectly - thanks for the tip! I still
have to do some manual work though since I'm going to have nested
VOs

Thanks Ben,
I tried that. It still does not work ..:-(. I got rid of everything
which could cause errors. ...
Here's the code. I reckon this is as basic as it gets ...
public function onMyResult(event:ResultEvent):void
{
// this works fine
var myObject:Object =
Object(event.result);
// this causes an error
(Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to

var myEmployee:Employee

// does not work
trace
(myEmployee.employeeName);
// does work
trace
(myObject.employeeName);
}
]]

Any ideas?

Hi Robin,
I have good news :), both of these issues should go away by setting a
single attribute on your WebService object. Try setting
makeObjectsBindable = false. This will cause Flex to deserialize your
ws responses into regular Object and Array instances instead of
ObjectProxy and ArrayCollection instances.
HTH,
Ben

[flexcoders] webservices and Flex 2
Hi there, Is there any way to do the AS Object to XML serialization automatically? What do you do when you want to send complex data types to a SOAP webservice? Converting AS objects to XML manually somehow seems to be a bit clumsy. I noticed the http service has a property contentType which can be set to application/xml. Is there anything similar for the webservice component? Robin

[flexcoders] Cairngorm commands - best practise
Hi there Lets say I want to do a server request. I want to search my database for a particular keyword and return a record set. The user would type in the keyword in a text area and I would then create a SearchDatabaseEvent which then would trigger a SearchDatabaseEventCommand and so on However I also want to send the userID when I do my server request. Should the SearchDatabaseCommand get the userID from the model or from the SearchDatabaseEvent (so I would have two properties in my event keywords and userId)? The SearchDatabaseCommand obviously knows about the model because it has to populate the model with the result record set. So I could just get the user ID from the model when the execute method is triggered. This approach seems a bit wired though because it seems that couples my command to strongly to the model. On the other hand it seems strange to query the model from my view to populate the SearchDatabaseEvent with userId property as well. Any thoughts?

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm commands - best practise
Thanks for your answer Bjorn. I dont
really worry about the delegate for now.
Maybe I was not clear enough.
My question is: should a command get all
its parameters through the event object or is it ok to refer to the
model to get them?
Of course you can pass value objects to
the command via the event object (as Bjorn suggested) but thats
basically the same as passing single variables - probably a bit neater though.
Cant the command just refer to the
model as shown below?
public
class LoginCommand implements Command, Responder
{
private var model:Model = Model.getInstance();
public function execute(event:CairngormEvent):void
{
var delegate:LoginDelegate = new LoginDelegate(this);
var loginEvt:LoginEvent = LoginEvent( event );
//
// this line has changed!
///delegate.login(loginEvt.userVO);
delegate.login(model.userVO);
}
public function onResult(event:*=null):void
{
var submitVO:UserVO = UserVO(event.token.user);
}

Hmm... I'm not sure, but I dont think you understood
the question. Your answer, as far as I can tell, does not seem responsive. But
I'm not sure that I could repeat it and make it any clearer than robin's
initial question. Perhaps you could re-read it.

Hi there,
How do I display images in a horizontal list component?
Each object of my data provider has a label and an image property. The image
property is an absolute url to an png image.
How do I display this image in my horizontal list?
All list component examples I could find just show you how to
display an embedded image using the icon function property.

[flexcoders] newbie question - HTTP servive
Hi there,
I started playing around with the HTTP
service. However I cant figure out how to access the actual result
(in my case an xml string)
If I set up a listener it just returns me
an object in the onResult event. Why cant I access my xml
string through event.result?
How do I access it?
public function
onResult(event:ResultEvent):void
{
// why
doesnt this work?
trace (event.result.toString());
//
this works but its very ugly
//trace(event.message.body.toString());
}
Thanks

// the
code of my sample application
?xml version=1.0?
