[flexcoders] apply effect to datagrid row on data change
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has applied an effect such as Glow on all cells of a datagrid row when any of those cells change value. I have an app which displays about 50 rows which are updated at least every 30 seconds from a feed. I would like to apply a brief glow (or other effect) to draw the users eye to the fact the row has changed. Is this possible and are there any gotchas? I'm thinking performance could be an issue. If someone could point me to an example that would be excellent. Thanks Steve
[flexcoders] Re: pushing a database update/data management services
anyone? I just don't see how I can get the coldfusion instance to ping flex that it needs to refresh it's fills. Am I going to have to have both coldfusion and FDS run under the same instance to use DataServiceTransaction? Surely I am not the only one wanting to do this. I should add that this is for coldfusion standard and not enterprise so I cannot have a solution revolving around event gateways. TIA Steve On 4/7/07, Steve Gilchrist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: bump... Ok the only thing I've been able to find to push changes made server side by coldfusion to flex clients is one page in the Flex docs talking about the DataServiceTransaction java class. Has anyone attempted this with coldfusion? Can I instantiate that java class in some coldfusion code and it link with the Flex server instance? I'm hoping that I can call DataServiceTransaction.refreshfill() and all the client fills will refresh. Possible? If someone could tell me if this is possible or a dead end would be much appreciated.

[flexcoders] FDS / Apache server images not caching
Hi all, I have an application that displays around 50 images (many repeating) in a datagrid. These images are dynamically loaded. When I run our remote object version of the application the images (as well as the main swf) are cached in the browser. This version runs over Apache port 80. My problem is when running my FDS version none of the images are cached in the browser. The application swf is not cached, nor are the dynamic images. This adds alot of overhead to the application. I've changed the Apache virtual host to point to the flex application directory...c:\fds2\jrun4\servers\default\myapp. I've been using service capture to look at what is being cached and there is definitely something going on with the FDS version. Does anyone have any ideas why? Is there something else I need to be doing with apache and FDS maybe?? Thanks Steve
[flexcoders] pushing a database update/data management services
Hey guys, I'm a bit lost with Flex Data Management Services with Coldfusion. I understand client set up with fill() to pull data down from the server using assemblers and dao's. I think :) What happens if I have a separate scheduled coldfusion process that updates the database on the server side. This is a process that updates records every 5 minutes from other servers. After this process has completed what do I have to do to update flex / datamanagement services and consequently the clients. How do I refresh all my client fills? I've been through the examples and none show this scenario. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful Thanks Steve
[flexcoders] debug compile and trace statements
Hi, I like to pepper my code with a heap of trace statements so I can see execution flow. When I go to deploy to production I compile with debug=false. Are the trace statements stripped out / ignored or do they still execute? Also is there any way to get trace to output the function it is running in automagically. I'm wondering if there is a short cut for the below: public function myMethod():void { trace(this+".myMethod"+"some variables"); } 'this' gives the object name but I have to hand code the myMethod(). Thanks S

[flexcoders] Adobe SystemManager example
Hi, Just checking out the adobe systemmanager example (link) and there appears to be an error in the code as below. I get a 'local' is an undefined property in the compiler. If I remove local and just have loadedSM.application it then complains about setVarOne not being defined (it's a method in a loaded swf). How do you invoke methods in a loaded swf without the compiler getting cranky? // Write to the varOne variable in the loaded application // using the setVarOne() method of the loaded application. public function updateNestecVarOne():void { local(loadedSM.application).setVarOne("Updated varOne!"); } CheersSteve __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

[flexcoders] remove effect from component
Hi everyone, What is the best way to remove an effect after is has played. In the below example I want each button to glow when clicked but when the other is selected it should revert back to the original state with no effect. I've tried end() and reverse(). I see a filter array property on the button after the effect is applied. Do I have to delete that? I'm sure I've missed something and I feel like i am over complicating something simple. Any suggestions?Thanks!!!Stevehttp://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"> alphaFrom="0.0" alphaTo="0.5" blurXFrom="0.0" blurXTo="1.0" blurYFrom="0.0" blurYTo="1.0" color="0x00FF00"/> __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
