[flexcoders] What is the command-line equivalent to Flex Builder's "Build Project.." Command?
In my program, I have been receiving an error when I use a command-line compile command for mxmlc. The error is related to an embedded font name not being correctly identified by flex in the system fonts list. However, on a whim, I decided to copy the code to Flex Builder and compile it there. To my surprise, it worked, and it found the proper font using the same system name I had given (PMingLiU). I suspected my problem may be a locale one, and that my system cannot correctly identify the font name because of locale considerations. I've tried setting the locale of the compile code to en_US, to no avail. So I would like to ask if anyone here knows the exact command string that Flex tells Mxmlc whenever it compiles a project. My answer might lie there.
[flexcoders] DataGrid - how to show the editor for a particular cell?
Hi, Say I have a datagrid with editable cells. That is, the user can click the cell to make the itemEditor appear and input data. This datagrid also has a feature that if I click on an empty row, I add a new record to the dataProvider and the user can input a new record. I've implemented that click-to-create-a-new-record part; now I want to do something like, when I click to create a new record, I would immediately set focus to the editor of a particular column. I'm not sure how to do this - is it possible to programatically show the editor for a specific column in a specific row? Without this change, currently the user has to click twice - once to create the new record, then second time to edit the field. Is it possible? Or any other approach you guys can suggest? Thanks! Roy
[flexcoders] Re: Embedded fonts not working in Flex 3?
Found the problem. Seems I need to set advanced anti-aliasing to false
in the flex-config.xml.
Also this problem doesn't seem to be encountered using the Adobe Flex
SDK download. I guess advanced anti-aliasing isn't supported in the
Open Source SDK?

[flexcoders] Embedded fonts not working in Flex 3?
Hi all,
I downloaded the 3.0.0.477 build from opensource.adobe.com and did a
few simple test cases. The ff mxml failed to compile:

The code is copy-and-paste almost exactly from an example in the
livedocs...I just changed the font from Myriad Pro to Arial.
Compiling the above gives a null pointer exception:

[flexcoders] Slowdown in Effect Sequence
Hi, I have an mxml with a sequence of 13 effects with each one having a duration of 500ms. Naturally, I was expecting the entire thing would take around 6.5 seconds; I have another effect running parallel to this sequence that assumes that timing. However, they turn out to be out of sync, I found that the sequence was taking too long to execute, usually the last 2-3 effects will not have enough time to execute. In this case, I'm only using effects in the sequence. I guess the Flash Player is slowing done because I'm running too many effects or something? Is it possible to work around this? Thanks! Roy

[flexcoders] mxmlc slowdown when embedding mp3s
Hi, I'm not sure where to being looking - one of our dev machines takes an unspeakably long time to embed mp3 files (a mxml with embedded 2.7MB file takes more than 30 minutes and still not yet done) It only happens on one machine. The only thing we know so far is that this machine is Chinese windows XP. I'm unsure if it's a problem with the compiler on Chinese XP only (as we only have 1 such machine here). It seems to work fine on our test machines with Chinese Windows 2000 and Chinese Vista. Are there any other known issues with the speed of mp3 embedding? Thanks! Roy

[flexcoders] Loading a link/url in a new window
Hi,
I'm doing something like this:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("loader.html?URLTO=[encoded url]",
'_blank');
Where loader.html is a static html page that will load the passed url
parameter using javascript (by parsing window.location).
We're doing this as a workaround, because our local-with-filesystem
swf isn't allowed to launch an http url directly, and
ExternalInterface keeps giving us security sandbox issues.
The above code works fine in Firefox, but in IE, the parameter "URLTO"
is not shown in the URL address bar and could not be accessed through
javascript. Can I work around this?
Or, is there a better to do what I'm trying to do?
Thanks,

[flexcoders] compc usage
Hi all, Can someone point me to a good example of compc command line usage? I saw a few but the examples always require a manifest file that list out the files included in the SWC. Is it possible to do it without a manifest file, i.e. I just point to the folder where the classes are? In the middle of development, I expect to be adding classes to the SWC regularly so I don't want to keep updating a manifest file every time. Thanks, Roy

[flexcoders] DataGrid tab order (again)
Hi! Thanks to Alex's help I got the datagrid tab order functionality I needed mostly working (including avoiding the datagrid remembering the last edited cell). Just one minor issue now, which I *might* be able to just ignore, but I'm curious about it because it works correctly on Firefox, but not on IE. Specifically, when I reverse-tab (shift+tab) out of my DataGrid, the focus seems to be going to the wrong control. But it only happens in IE. Check my sample here: http://roytang.net/sandbox/DataGridTabOrder.swf Source: http://roytang.net/sandbox/DataGridTabOrder.mxml Is it a bug in the SDK? or is there something I can do to work around it?

[flexcoders] ItemEditors and ItemRenderers (was Re: Datagrid tab order?)
thanks. I appreciate the replies esp. since I can't provide my app's sample code here so I guess it's difficult for others to figure out. I guess the problem is I tried to avoid using itemEditors entirely and used itemRenderers instead, so now the tab order is all messed up and doesn't scroll. I'm going to try using itemEditors again. However, the main problem there is that I want to render the column as a checkbox and have it editable as a checkbox also. So I'll do the ff: 1. set itemRenderer=checkbox and itemEditor=checkbox. 2. set tabEnabled=false for the checkbox itemRenderer; this is so that the itemRenderers don't screw up the tab order Under the above setup, the tab order seems correct. The only issue with the above that I'm not sure how to support is that visually the column is a checkbox, but requires the user to click twice on the checkbox to toggle the value (once to enable edit mode, second time to actually edit). Is there any way to avoid this? Most of the examples of using checkbox as an itemEditor seem to use static text as the renderer. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > the default editing code handles offscreen rows. > > you can probably override focusinhandler and set editeditemposition > > the dg remembers the last position of the editor and restores editing > there > > ____ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Stephen Roy J.

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid tab order?
We had trouble before with having both an item renderer and an item editor for a column (which we need to have that checkbox column), so instead what I tried was simply having only itemrenderers for the controls (and updating the data on change of the itemrenderer controls) This seems to fix the default tab order, but there are still some issues with the tab order, namely: 1. Tabbing through the grid only traverses visible rows - how can a user navigate to scrolled-out rows using the keyboard? 2. Sorting the grid doesn't seem to sort the taborder - the rows are still traversed in the original order. (Strangely, reassigning a headerRenderer after the sorting sets the correct tab order - I found this by accident) 3. Tabbing into the grid from an outside control -> looks like it "remembers" where the grid was last traversed and starts over from there. Is it possible to change it to always enter the grid from the first row? 4. I'm not sure of the behavior exactly, as I couldn't replicate it all the time, but tabbing into the grid after it has been mouse-scrolled seems to cause it to enter at different rows. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sounds like editable!=true, so the DG's tab handling code isn't running. > > > > > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Stephen Roy J.

[flexcoders] How to load image with non-ascii chars in path?
Hi, I tried using an where [path] contains non-ASCII characters. In some cases it works, (when using Chinese chars), in others it doesn't (when using Japanese chars). I'm not sure if there's a bug in Flex, or there's something missing in my env settings or such. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Roy
[flexcoders] Datagrid tab order?
Hi, I'm a bit confused about the tab order in a datagrid. The problem is I have a datagrid with 3 columns: column 1 - renderer is a checkbox control. I use onchange of the checkbox to update the underlying data column 2 - normal text column, editor is a editbox column 3 - checkbox, similar to column 1 Using tab to traverse the datagrid has weird behavior, i.e. first it seems to traverse all the column 2 editboxes (top rows first then bottom rows); then it traverses the checkboxes in each row (starting from top row again); after it has traversed everything, the tab order seems random now - it jumps around from editbox to checkbox or whatever. Is it because of the way the actual renderer/editor instances are created? Is there something I should be specifying to guarantee a nice, left-to-right top-to-bottom tab order? Thanks, Roy

Hi, I'm trying to do this thing where I have a VDividedBox, the top half contains an SWFLoader that will load another Flex SWF. I want to resize the SWFLoader automatically when the containing canvas is resized by dragging the divider, and also for the content inside the SWFLoader to scale automatically. Can this be done?

[flexcoders] Weird characters in textInput
Hi, Anyone encountered something like this? In a SWF with textinput, viewed using IE, hit Ctrl+K while focused on the control. A strange character is added to the text box (the byte value is 0x0B). Some other key combinations work as well. Ctrl+G=0x07. Doesn't seem to happen in Firefox. Also, doesn't seem to happen in all machines - 1 out of 5 test machines I tried it on couldn't replicate. I'm not sure if this is a flex issue or an IE issue. Any idea? Thanks, Roy
[flexcoders] Is it possible to set a different framerate for a MovieClip?

[flexcoders] Flash Component runs slower?
Hi, Another thing I found while using the component exported from flash cs3 using the component kit - the animation seems to run a bit slower compared to if I generate an SWF directly from the FLA. I exported my component at 20fps, then tested in an mx:Application with frameRate=20, and it's slightly slower. Measuring the time by using the nextFrame event, it comes out to be around 17-18 fps. Increasing the frameRate value of the Application doesn't seem to have any effect. Is it a valid expectation that the component would animate a bit slower with an SWF built using Flex compared to built using Flash? Thanks, Roy

If I were to file a bug, it would be at bugs.adobe.com/jira? There
doesn't seem to be a Component Kit category in the Project dropdown.
Also, does filing a bug mean it's possible for it to become fixed in a
future patch of Flex 2? Or only in Flex 3?

Will there be any issue if I just continue using the workaround I've
done? (i.e. assigning a doNothing function to those undefined functions)

Also, the fla given to me was using ActionScript to scale the object
as it animated, when I import to Flex that actionscript doesn't
execute, I need to add my own scaling code in flex to do it. Is there
another way, or the actionscript is really not exported in the SWC?

[flexcoders] Problem importing component from Flash CS3
Hi,
I created a component using the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3. (The
examples I followed are
http://lordbron.wordpress.com/2007/05/01/flex-component-kit-step-by-step/
and
http://jessewarden.com/2006/12/integrating-a-flash-interface-into-flex-2.html)
So, I'm able to import the component successfully into my Flex app. At
some point, I need to perform an effect on the component.
However, when I do this I get an error "effectStarted is not a
function". The debugger shows me the ff code in EffectInstance.as:
if (target is IUIComponent)
{
Object(target).effectStarted(this);
// Hide the focus ring if the target already has one
drawn
Object(target).drawFocus(false);
}
So, apparently, the exported component satisfies IUIComponent
interface but does not have the effectStarted method? Am I missing
something?
To workaround this, I assigned dummy functions to those that threw the
error, ie:
private function init() :void
{
p.effectStarted = doNothing;
p.drawFocus = doNothing;
p.effectFinished = doNothing;
}
private function doNothing(aParam:Object):void
{
}
(p is my component) Is there something else I should be doing?
Thanks,
Roy

[flexcoders] Re: security sandbox violations
Wait, sorry, I'm a bit confused. Let me sum it up: What I want is: - my swf should be able to load files with image/swfloader using relative paths - my swf should not raise sandbox violations either when running locally or via HTTP - I will possibly have a multi-swf topology >From testing, it seems that all I need to do is to compile with "-use-network=false"?

In local-no-network, subfolders are ok, but any absolute path is not, even if it maps to a subfolder. The Image/SWFLoader code, however, doesn't check sandboxes and always generates absolute paths from relative paths. That's because in a multi-swf environment, the player always loads urls relative to the first swf loaded and not the swf requesting the load so we convert all relative paths to absolute (relative to the swf requesting the load) and that's not allowed in your configuration. > > > > Your SWF will work in both places regardless of whether use-network is true or false.

Also, my original understanding of "-use-network=false" is that the SWF would be trusted to access local resources, but not network resources. What counts as "network resources" in this case? I initially assumed that I would encounter an error if I uploaded the SWF and the image to a web server, but it seems that's not the case.

[flexcoders] security sandbox violations
Hi, How exactly does the Flash Player determine when it will throw a security sandbox error? I encountered a problem with a case like this: I had an Image object loading a file via relative path, i.e. . The swf works fine on my machine. A coworker checks out the source and compiles it on her own machine, and she gets a sandbox violation error. The difference is that she's using command line mxmlc to compile, I'm using Flex Builder. Neither of us are using the use-network compiler param. Of course, I ask her to just set the param and she can then run the swf without error. But I'm curious as to why it would behave differently in her case and mine. Thanks, Roy

[flexcoders] Extending Canvas?
Hi, I'm trying to create an MXML component extending from canvas, with some predefined components (buttons and some graphical elements) and behaviors, but I also want any MXMLs using the component to be able to specify additional contents for the components. (Since it's a canvas, I assume it's the calling screen's responsibility to position it's children correctly.) Of course, first thing I tried is just to do it directly, and I get an error "Multiple sets of visual children have been specified...etc". Is what I'm thinking of possible? Any advice? I took a look at the source of another container class (Panel), which I assumed would do something similar, but it seems the code there is a bit more complicated that I would like. I'm hoping there's a simple way to specify that I want to accept visual children from both the component declaration and the component instance. Thanks, Roy
[flexcoders] Styling richtexteditor subcontrols?
Hi, I looked at the RTE source, but I guess I'm not expert enough to figure it out: how come if I specify a Button style, that style is inherited by the bold/italic/underline controls, but when I specify a ComboBox style, it's not inherited by the font family combobox?

[flexcoders] How to skin the grid headers?
Hi, There doesn't seem to be a skin property for DataGrid headers? Or am I missing something? Thanks, Roy
[flexcoders] Using a different style for focused controls
Hi, I know I can control the focus rectangle by using a border skin - but I want to be able to change stuff like background color and font weight when a control gains focus. Is there a way I can do that without having to use focus/lose focus event triggers? This would be applied across several Flex screens - Ideally I just plug-in something into my css files and it works from there. Thanks :) Roy
[flexcoders] Skinning Flex scrollbar
Hi, I'm trying out skinning a flex scrollbar. I set the thumbUpSkin, thumbDownSkin, thumbOverSkin to my own custom images. I also set the thumbIcon to show a 3-bar image in the middle of the scrollbar, without having that 3-bar image stretch when the thumb changes size. Everything is fine, except that in instances that the thumb is at minimum size, the thumbIcon overlaps the border of the image I'm using for the thumb...it looks a bit weird (sorry I don't have a screencap handy) So, my question is: Is there a way to specify the minimum size of the scrollbar thumb (so I can just make sure the thumb is always larger than my thumbIcon)? If not, is there any other solution to my problem? Thanks a lot :) Roy
[flexcoders] Custom components as headerRender?
Hi there, I've been trying to make a custom header renderer for an accordion...basically, what I want is to have the accordion label + an additional button on the accordion header Initially I tried something like: [...accordion contents...] But the above structure gave me an error like "Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to Button" What restrictions are there as to what I can declare inside the mx:headerRenderer tag? If I use simple components like checkboxes it seems fine, i.e. the following is ok: [...accordion contents...] Thanks a lot :)

[flexcoders] Creating the SWF to resize automatically with the browser window?
Hi, Do I need to have any setting in the mxml to make sure SWF will "scale" to the appropriate size when the user resizes the containing browser window? i.e. I want the SWF to scale such that the full content is always shown. Or is that something that should be done on the HTML side? Thanks, Roy
