Umm - this may be an odd question but WHY on earth would you bother with AJAX
when you have Flex?

Subject: [flexcoders] Calling play() on VideoDisplayer from JS using Flex-Ajax
bridge doesn't work
Hello Folks,
I have created a simple VideoDisplay where I can play a video file.
I have setup the Flex-Ajax bridge so that when I click a button on the
page, I can access the elapsed time using code as below
var elapsedTime = flexApp.getInstructorWindow().getPlayheadTime();
All this works fine. Now, instead of initiating the play from a button
on the Flash window I want to do it from outside the flash windo - a
button on the html page. I use that button to call a JS function as
below which calls the ActionScript function startSync - same function
that is called when the button on the flash player is pressed (and
that works).
function startPlayBack(){
alert('In startPlayBack');
flexApp.getInstructorWindow().startSync();
alert('Calling slideshow');
slideShow();
}
I get the first alert message but not the second one and my video
player doesn't play anything. The startSync ActionScript function is
as below.
public function startSync():void {
Alert.show(test1, test2);
instructorWindow.source = videoFile;
totalTimeArea.text = ;
stopTimeArea.text = ;
instructorWindow.play();
// start_sync.send();
}
The videoFile variable is initialized when the VideoDisplay loads up
using the code below
videoFile = Application.application.parameters.videoFile;
All this works fine when the button is pressed on the flash player but
I can't get it to play with a call from JS from the web page. Any
thoughts on what could be going wrong would be appreciated.
I am on Win XP using FireFox 2.0.0.9 and Flash Player 9.
Thanks much for any feedback.
Sanjay.
BTW: instructorWindow is the id of my VideoDisplay as below
mx:VideoDisplay id=instructorWindow width=291 height=264 x=6
y=7/

Re: [flexcoders] Re: WebService - What's wrong with this code?
Is it thus by implication that FDS become some form of flash Hibernate ? Because personally id like to know if that were the case. In terms of data-sync, this is not part of any webservice specification and as for poll-less server push - well that's just against the whole notion of webservices in the first place and should be relegated to the area of messaging services - not data-services. By the way - it becomes more interesting that the Date format issue is cropping up quite a bit now (even in the PHP world) - Is there per chance a specific way of pushing this for implementation? Being honest, String, Integer, Date, Boolean are standard datatypes which should all be accessible via webservices - any reason why date isnt fully supported yet? Sorry if this sounds like a gripe but it is actually in a few cases, a deal breaker. Samuel On 21/8/06 10:29, Tom Chiverton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sunday 20 August 2006 16:55, Samuel D.

Title: Re: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] Re: decimal numbers in financial applications Read the WIKI on floating multiplication particularly towards the bottom. Thats the reason why you get an error during arithmetic operations. As I said, usually FP is 2^64-1 (double precision) - single is 2^32-1 and used most of the time unless specified hence long (datatype) single (datatype) under c/c#/c++. Since flash (I believe) was coded ontop of c++, it depends on the mapping between datatypes as to which one prevails most of the time. Long / double precision numbers take a hell of a lot of cpu processing (hence the release of celeron processors of intel using a less intensive FPU) I could understand why its not the default type.

So it cannot store integers up to 2^64 -1 exactly; only up to 2^52 - 1.

While on the surface mac and windows clips are fairly compatible, there are differences and apparently some of what flexBuilder is doing relies on one or some of those features that either dont work or are not implemented in mac. Adobe has said that there will be a mac version and if I am not mistaken the timeframe was estimated at some time towards the end of the year (oct or nov) if I remember right.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: WSDLError:Element not resolvable = LoadEvent doesn't imply service ready
Title: Re: [flexcoders] Re: WSDLError:Element not resolvable = LoadEvent doesn't imply service ready
Hey Sahlas actually the only test for a correctly loaded wsdl is the canLoadWSDL property. If this fails it is back to the drawing board.
As for a publicly accessible wsdl try my server http://www.ifeel3.com/webservices/services.asmx?WDSL - there is a complex type under the function doQuery if interested. If you go to the same address minus the ?WSDL then you can see all the operations and the parameters out/in etc.

Hi Kaleb,
Cool! Great stuff.
My guess is that the delay is machine dependent, but not necessarily network dependent. I do believe that the LOAD event does indicate that the WSDL actually has loaded successfully. Flex will not need any more access to the network in order to initialize the web service.
Anyway, its a little bit sloppy that the LOAD event does not indicate that the webservice is actually ready for use. I consider this a bug if you ask me. So, maybe this is something we can put on the wish list???
Thanks,
Franck

Frank,
I did a bit more research into this. I don't need nearly a second
for the WebService to be ready after the load event. I just put the
whole process in a loop to see what kind of delay I need to make it
work on my box (with the service running on my box). Unfortunately,
the delay is probably machine and network dependent and, therefore,
would have to be different on other machines.
My results were:
res[delay in ms] = # successes (out of 100)
res[1] = 0
res[2] = 5 ...
res[10] = 13 ...
res[15] = 42 ...
res[20] = 53 ...
res[30] = 77 ...
res[38] = 100
(and the rest were 100 also)
Somebody else had what may have been a similar problem and he just
re-fired the request
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/46401). That's
certainly not an elegant solution
So, I still don't have a solution, just a work-around. Does anybody
else have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi Kaleb,
I always expected the web service to be ready after the load event
completed. Probably it's a matter of milliseconds. I never
encountered your
problem before, since I don't automatically call web services
after loading.
So far, my webservices are only invoked behind a button.
But sooner or later I probably will, since I will want to push
master data
from the server into the application (like a country table or
something like
that) directly after startup.
So, this does not sound good ...
I expect that your workaround is the only solution.
Cheers,

Subject: [flexcoders] WSDLError:Element not resolvable =
LoadEvent doesn't
imply service ready
I have been struggling with the Element not resolvable error
today
in some of my unit tests using FlexUnit. As far as I can tell, the
LoadEvent doesn't imply that the service is ready. If I put a
timer
in and wait 1 second after the load event to make my service call,
everything works correctly. If I don't wait 1 second, however,
then
I receive the Element not resolvable error. This appears to be a
bug in the WebService class.
Here's my sample code:
import mx.rpc.soap.WebService;
import flash.events.Event;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.soap.LoadEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
public class SoapDemoTest {
public function testListVocabularies():void {
trace('testListVocabularies');
ws = new mx.rpc.soap.WebService();
ws.addEventListener(LoadEvent.LOAD, onLoadCompleted);
ws.loadWSDL(http://192.168.
http://192.168.1.1:8080/myserv/myserv?wsdl

Re: [flexcoders] Flex/Cairngorm Syntax
Title: Re: [flexcoders] Flex/Cairngorm Syntax
The * is an approximation of the Object keyword. Can be any type. Im not sure whether the typing is preserved or not but im sure Matt can confirm this. In effect event is cast as any object rather than having a strongly typed function call. Be aware in doing this though as type coercion issues may occur later on when dealing with the result.
Since all event classes usually subclass from Event, you might use Event rather than * for type safety.

I have had a look around the web and the docs but can't find any explanation of this syntax. What is more, I am not getting it to work but as I don't understand what it is supposed to be I'm not sure where the problem lies.

(unless there is somewhere a crossdomain.xml file with the correct content ... check the documentation) Your code might work, but not necessarily so.. The loadWSDL() operation is asynchronous, but takes quite some time to complete. Only after the loadWSDL() has completed (and then some milliseconds more ... see some recent threads in this mailing list) you can fire your operation. To accomplish this you have to register for the LoadEvent.LOAD event I dont know where all this AsyncToken stuff comes from, but invocation of webservices can be done much simpler. Just try: tsWS.createUser(sessionId, userName, dob).

To reference individual items in the array object simply do
object.EnvNum (replacing object for the array index property) - for instance...

var objectInFocus:Object = array[counter];

The way I have it set up is when you've completed the form you click a button and it adds the values of the form fields to an object within an ArrayCollection. That ArrayCollection is bindable and is set as the dataprovider for a datagrid that lists these sub-transactions. I can add as many items to this queue as I like, and that part works just fine.
The part I'm having trouble with is when I want to post those records to the database.
I have a model set up for the remoting. It worked fine when I was passing the values from the form to the model then to the DB, but I'm not sure how to pass the data from the ArrayCollection into the model to be submitted.
In the save function I have the following code
for each (var item:Object in transactionArray)
{
saveItem(this.detailObject);
}
where transactionArray is the ArrayCollection and detailObject is the model. Now, it does run the remoting call for each of the line items, it's just not putting the data into the model, so I'm getting empty records.
My ArrayCollection looks like this:
private var transactionArray:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(
[{
EnvNum: '',
DateTrans: '',
Currency: '',
CheckNum: '',
Fund: '',

Ok you have a cyclic error where the property is the same as a value object. Change the value object to something else, for instance the code below !

[RemoteClass(alias=com.example.vo.TestVO)]

public class TestVO implements ValueObject
{
public var __id : int = 0;
