RE: [flexcoders] .NET web service and Data Grid

2007-03-08 Thread Steve Cox

When a single item comes back Flex converts it to an Object rather than
an ArrayCollection.
 
Do something like:
 
//where arrTable is the model (ArrayCollection) you are setting
if (!(event.result.diffgram.NewDaraSet.Table is ArrayCollection))
{
arrTable = new ArrayCollection();
arrTable.addItem(event.result.diffgram.NewDaraSet.Table);
} 
else 
{
arrTable = event.result.diffgram.NewDaraSet.Table;
}

Subject: [flexcoders] .NET web service and Data Grid
 
Hi All, 
 
I am using a .NET web service to populate datagrid. I am converting the
result of the web service call to arraycollection and bind it to the
datagrid.
The issue is that when  there is only one data in the database, the data
grid is not showing up anything.
 
I have analyzed the event tree of the web service call.In the case of
more than one record, the event object is like
 
event.result.diffgram.NewDaraSet.Table[0]..
event.result.diffgram.NewDaraSet.Table[1]..
event.result.diffgram.NewDaraSet.Table[0]..
 
in the case of database with only one record, the event object is like
 
event.result.diffgram.NewDaraSet.Table
 
How can i bind the data to the datagrid in this case
 
Thanks Subeesh

Currently I'm tryin to connect a Flex Project using Sockets to a MSN

The problem im runnin into is that the protocol always ends with an

"<<<" stands for received commands

The Socket class when i send "\r\n" always finishes the send command
givin me and EOF (end of file error) in a window executing the app.
And the XMLSocket commands are always terminated by a zero (0) byte.
 
So, can someone give me some directions on how to do it?

At your time of creationComplete the dataprovider probably isn't

I have the requirement to use mouse-over to cause a component to be

be highlighted (perhaps with a dropshadow, or glow or something). Now I
could use getObjectsUnderPoint however this is returning me components

to not it happens me, but lamentably to me it continues happening. 

It is very probable that I am confused, for that reason I go to you 
so that they give a hand me. 

My problem is the use of the memory: basically, which I see is that 
the GC does not release memory when we erased a component that 
includes a control TabNavigator or Accordion inside. 

In order to show better he arms it a small application in which we 
can instantiate "n" times the control "Simple" (that contains 2 
DataGrid) and see that the used memory becomes stabilized in 8Mb or 
10 Mb. In order to see this in the application we must make several 
times click in the button that says "Component Simple". 
Soon, to see what I call problem, we must do several times click on 
the button "Component WithNavigator", this will instantiate "n" times 
the control "WithNavigtor" (that contains 1 TabNavigator with 2 grids 
inside), is there where we will see that the memory never lowers, but 
that is increased always. By this it is that it seems to me that 
there is some problem in this type of controls. 

The Link of the application is this:

Hello!
 
I wanted to ask if there is a place for a wish list for Apollo. It is
christmas anyway!
 
First of all, our company creates Computer Based Training Modules -
which are available online (for use in an LMS) but are also available
offline on CD. These CBTs are made with Authorware, Flash or DHTML, or a
combination thereof. 
 
Currently we need an own browser (based on Mozillla) to make these
things launchable from CD (we need access to the file system because of
tracking user scores between sessions and to integrate into the desktop,
etc.; also classroom teaching (ad-hoc peer-to-peer without the need to
setup) is a thing we will address sooner or later). 
 
When I heard about Apollo I was excited (and I still am). It would mean
that we can offer part of our CBTs for download (because the current
system takes more than 20mb just for framework, plus 300kb actual
content).
 
The number #1 wish for me is this: create flash applications that run
from CD (like a Flash Projector) WITHOUT the need to install anything
(like Flash Projector, but with more rights and more access to the
system). 
 
It may sound stupid for the rest of us, but customers demand that they
do not want to install anything - they want to insert the CD, and it
should run, without EULAs, installing and without accessing the internet
or whatever, just run.
 
The number #2 wish for me is: be able to extend it with C++ code - even
if it means to loose platform compatibility. 
 
And Number #3: That it is accessible to screen readers (i have had hard
times with the flash projector - i just could not get the screen reader
to recognize the settings).
 
 
I am sorry that this might be the wrong group for that. If there is any
chance that there is an official wish list please tell me.

You could also look at the listData property on the renderer (if it
implements IDropInListItemRenderer, which it should).  It has the
rowIndex and columnIndex properties on it.  For some reason listData is
not bindable, but if your renderer is built in AS, you won't need the
binding, if it's mxml, then you can use the creationComplete event to
compute the itemIndex.  For a TileList it might be a bit complex though,
since you need to do a little math to find out what the item's index is.
Here is some pseudo code for that.  

var itemIndex : int = (listData.owner.columnCount * listData.rowIndex) +
(listData.columnIndex + 1)

What Lach suggested below is the easiest way and fastest way to get this
going.  If you need the index to be dynamic, for instance if you need to
do any filtering or sorting and want the index to be re-evaluated,
listData is the way to go.

with how to render the particular data object that is passed to them. If
you want to render some kind of index number on the view, your best bet
is probably to incorporate it in the model somehow. That is, each item
in your collection should have an index property which is set to equal
its position in the collection.

Then you can say

Hi there,
Some sites that require flash player 9 don't work with my debug

(http://kuler.  adobe.com)
It says i need to install Flash Player 9. But I have the debug

And sites like myspace won't load any flash content at all and 
provides me no warning.

Adobe, what's up? Is there a newer version of the debug flash player?

RE: [flexcoders] Text instance does not calculate its height properly when in scrollable Box

2006-11-29 Thread Steve Cox

Unfortunately there seems to be a bug with text fields / labels and
htmlText. The text component seems to not take into account line
breaks/font sizing or something causing it to measure the component
inaccurately.
 
I'm yet to find a work-around.
 
Lach, to replicate the bug highlight the text at the bottom of the text
component, you will see the text scroll more beyond the scrollbars.

2006-11-28 Thread Steve Cox

Unfortunately this isn't as straight forward as you would think.
 
FileReference, for some reason, will not allow you to access the data of
the file you have located. Therefore the only way that I am aware of to
do what you want would be to upload this file to a server first, then
load it into flex using swfloader or an image control.

[flexcoders] Cursor Position in RichTextEditor (textarea)

All,
 
For the life of me I cannot seem to find the property/method to get the
caret / cursor position in a textarea component via a RTE. 
Basically I need to be able tod rag a custom control onto the RTE and it
insert some text at the current(previous before focus changed) cursor
position. 
I can get it working fine if I just want to add the text onto the end,
however I want to insert it at the current position.
 
Any ideas?

RE: [flexcoders] lastResult.records.record.length=null when there's actually 1

2006-11-28 Thread Steve Cox

When a result contains only 1 object Flex converts it to an Object not
an ArrayCollection. Therefore your
myListRequest.lastResult.records.record is an object and won't have the
.length property. When you receive more than 1 record it will be an
ArrayCollection of objects.
 
You'll need to check the type of myListRequest.lastResult.records.record
before you do any work with it.
 
Hope that helps,
 
Steve

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Auto incrementing values for datagrid

2006-11-17 Thread Steve Cox

Sorry to jump into the thread but unfortunately rowIndex doesn't do what
it says on the tin. It's documented to return the index of the item in
the dataprovider, however in actual fact it returns the index of the row
in the list/datagrid. 

For example if you have a dataprovider with 100 records displaying in a
datagrid with 10 rows and you scroll to the bottom of the datagrid and
select the last row rowIndex would return 10; not the 100 you would
expect. 

AFAIK there is no simple way of simply returning the index of the item
in the dataprovider rather than the datagrid. I hope someone can pick me
up on this point?

Do you mean that the first row in the grid should always say "1",
regardless of how the list is sorted? If that is the case, you'll want
to create an itemRenderer that implements IDropInListItemRenderer, and
then displays the rowIndex property of BaseListData. This is probably
a good starting point:

[flexcoders] Label /Text Html font size bug

2006-11-17 Thread Steve Cox

There appears to be a bug with html text inside label/font controls. The
controls do not resize properly to take into account Html font sizes,
thus measuring the field too small.
 
Has anyone come across a workaround or re-written the controls to fix
this? I don't want to start doing so if it's already been done.
 
Setting the controls fotnSize property does fix this issue, however it
then overrides any font sizes the html specifies and thus kinda defeats
the object.
 
Cheers,
 
Steve

[flexcoders] repost: FW: Radiobutton bug in Repeater

2006-07-25 Thread Steve Cox











Sorry
for the repost but I never saw this appear on the list 

 

All,

 

I’ve been experiencing
several issues with the radiobutton when in a repeater – the main problem
at the moment is this error:

 

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

    at
mx.controls::RadioButton/mx.controls:RadioButton::addToGroup()[C:\dev\GMC\sdk\frameworks\mx\controls\RadioButton.as:454]

 

Debugging the code it would
appear that the “document” property in the RadioButton.as is
returning null, as a result “group” is also returning null even
though I have set group to equal a radiobutton group in the component.

 

This error doesn’t
happen all the time, but it is a show stopper when it does pop up!!

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

 

Steve

[flexcoders] repeaterIndices Bug?!

2006-07-19 Thread Steve Cox











All,

 

When I try to access the repeaterIndices
of a component during debug mode, the flash player will always crash taking IE
or firefox with it.

 

I’ve the following code, the
player will always crash on the 2nd line. “event.target.repeaterIndices”
appears fine in the _expression_ watcher but as soon as I try to access it
through AS I get bombed out. There’s definitely values
there – I just cannot get to them!?

 

var selected :
Boolean = event.target.selected;

var arr : Array = event.target.repeaterIndices;

var indexField : Number = arr[0];

var indexItem : Number = arr[1];

 

 

In non-debug mode I’m getting the following error: 

TypeError: Error
#1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

 

 

Has anyone seen this?!

[flexcoders] Repeater problem

2006-07-18 Thread Steve Cox











All,

 

I’ve a little problem I’m struggling to get my
head around. Basically I have an ArrayCollection
containing a ‘CustomField’ object. This
object contains various fields in addition to an ArrayCollection
called CustomFieldItems which contains further objects.
These CustomFieldObjects don’t exist at start, they are populated using a webservice
call.

 

Now the issue I have is the need to display them using a
repeater like so:

 



    

    

    

    

    

        

    mx:Repeater>

    mx:VBox>

    mx:ViewStack>

    mx:FormItem>

    mx:Repeater>

mx:Form>

 

Upon first view this works fine, however subsequent views are
causing the following error:

 

Error: Repeater is not executing. I believe this is due to the
binding on: 

 

My question is, how would you go about
doing something like the above?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

[flexcoders] listData rowIndex ) [f2 final]

2006-07-04 Thread Steve Cox











I’m hoping I’m
making a stupid mistake somewhere regarding rowIndex
from within an item Renderer.

 

The docs
state: 

rowIndex : int

The index of the item in the data provider.

 

However in practice the rowIndex I’m actually getting is the rowIndex of the DataGrid itself,
not the dataProvider. So for example if I were to
click onto an item it’s rowIndex may be 7, but
scrolling down a little the rowIndex changes. This is
obviously not the rowIndex of the provider, but the datagrid.

 

I’m using the following
code: 

 

var evt:DataGridItemEvent = new DataGridItemEvent("editItem");

evt.rowIndex = listData["rowIndex"];

var owner:DataGrid = listData["owner"];

owner.dispatchEvent(evt);

 

Where DataGridItemEvent is a simple custom event. 

 

Any clues?

 

Cheers, Steve

[flexcoders] Flex 2 - Local File System Solutions

2006-03-24 Thread Steve Cox












All,

 

We’ve a potential
project coming up which will require the use of a Flex app online and offline (via
CD). The offline version will need to be able to download a catalogue and store
locally (by way of syncing). 

 

Currently with 1.5 there are a
number of tools available such as Zinc which will enable local file system
access (read and write).

 

The app needs to be available
for both PC and MAC. 

 

We’ll be using Flex 2
for this project, is anyone aware of a way of reading and writing to the local
file system (MAC AND PC) with any 3rd party apps?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

You'd have to include the MDMScript in the flex file, compile the flex file

If you found a mistake, you'd have to do it all over again. 





 





Possible, in

[flexcoders] Flex - Mac - Database (Semi OT)

2005-12-13 Thread Steve Cox

All,

I’m currently looking at
ways in which we could create a standalone app using flex and a database, for
Mac OSX and PC.

Basically we’re looking
at creating a cd/dvd with a mac/pc
installer which will provide a client with a desktop
app and database. The flex-based desktop app would be wrapped using something
like ‘Zinc’ to provide the flash player etc.

The issue I’m having is
working out how I’m going to do the database on a mac.
On a PC we could simply bundle a database and perhaps an ASP tier which could
do the interaction.

However I’m at a total
loss with a mac, I don’t even use the things. Has
anyone done anything similar?

My initial research would
suggest a flex app, a java layer and perhaps a database such as SQLite. However I’m not a JAVA programmer, I’m
usually .NET and Flex.

Has anyone any suggestions?

RE: [flexcoders] Cross Server Socket Connection (NOT XMLSocket)

2005-12-01 Thread Steve Cox











With XML sockets you could send a policy
file over the wire through the socket itself, however as you’re not going
to be able to do this with a telnet server I’m not sure you have any
options.

 

Only work around I can think of is to
write a bounce app that runs on your webserver and relays messages to/from the
telnet server. This could have security issues for you however.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Cross

You’re
right, Scott. The policy file needs to be on the *destination* server – and that causes the problem. In a
socket world the destination server might not even be a web server. E.g. the
server could be a simple echo server which just sends back all text received on
a specific port. You could e.g. telnet the server:

 

telnet
10.1.1.10

>helo
>echo: helo
>i send this command
>echo: i send this command
>exit
>echo: bye

 

So
the server waiting for a socket connection does not even know anything about
policy files including not how to server them back to a flash client.

 

The
question remains: Can a flash player open socket connections to *non web servers*. If not, this would
mean  a no go for a whole set of RIAs.

IIRC you need a policy on
the webserver at the domain you are connecting. This was certainly the case for
XMLSocket, not sure about binary, but I’ve not heard it’s any
different. (Doesn’t mean it’s not different though).

 

Ie if you are connecting
to myserver.com port 7000 you’d need a policy file at http://myserver.com 

 

Again, I’m not 100%
sure on binary socket, but xmlsocket certainly acted like this.

Any idea how that should

You call the Socket.connect(server,
port) class to establish a connection (and that connection GETS established
even without any policy files). On the “other side” there is a
simple echo server. Who and how should the policy file get served via the
socket? Where should it be placed on the simple echo server? I doubt that it
works with policy files.

 

Any ideas?

E.g.: If I want to create

flash movie to connect to whatever server out there. Obviously policy files do

[flexcoders] Spanish letters from external XML

2005-11-25 Thread Steve Cox











Guys,

 

Bit of a critical issue. We’ve
built a flex app (1.5) which imports strings from an xml file to display the
relevant language string. Each translation is saved as a separate XML file. The
encoding we’re using for English UTF-8, Chinese UTF-8 etc and these work
as expected. However the Latin encoding iso-8859-1 does not work properly. Any Spanish
characters are simply ignored by flex. I’ve tried UTF-8 on this XML file
also, but still no joy. Flex just ignores the characters.

 

When viewing the XML file via
browser using the iso-8859-1 charset the Spanish characters
are displayed, but not through flex.

 

Any Ideas?

 

Cheers,

 

Steve

Rawdy + anyone else interested:

 

Finally found the problem, IIS had ‘http-keep-alive’

Removing this sorted the problem, now all

Thanks, will try that.

 

Is there any reason why it would only
error sometimes. I would have expected if this needed
setting in IIS then it would either work all the time, or not work any of the
time? 

 

Will give it a shot and post back anyway.


Thanks for your suggestion,

Oh for the lc_id stuff, I

IIS/ JRUN is then
only sending back the result for the first request. There-on-in it does nothing
else. Now at frist I suspected some dodgy IE bug, but
connecting directly to Jrun’s app port it runs
100% every time.

 

Any ideas?

You can
use the sniffer tool to find out if the history code is being returned
properly. (It's in the bin directory.)

 

That
request (/flex/flex-internal?action="" should return something that
looks like this:

 

 

--begin

HTTP/1.0
200 OK

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex / Jrun
Instability?

Guys & Girls,

Seem to be having an odd problem with getting and keeping a
Jrun server stable.

The Jrun server is installed, flex installed on it and IIS is connected. Now this works fine (took a while to get it working, but it’s now working right). However when uploading changes to the app, sometimes the page will hang. What’s strange is we also get a _javascript_ error when this happens. The html source is published to the page but no swf is then viewable. The _javascript_ error says the following variable is underfined: lc_id . Looking at the source code the following line is obviously pulling in some _javascript_:<script language='_javascript_' charset='utf-8' src='/Symph/flex-internal?action="">>script> Now the _javascript_ error I’m getting suggests this file is not loaded. Has anyone come across the situation where jrun stops serving pages? Restarting it twice seems to wake it back up. Ta Steve
