[flexcoders] Flex 2b3: Application domains, Cairngorm and event bubbling

2006-06-29 Thread Tobias Patton

Hello Flexcoders;

I’m working on getting on Cairngorm application to
load another Cairngorm application. In order that the various singletons don’t
conflict, each swf is loaded into a separate application domain.

I was surprised to find that a Cairngorm event dispatched
from an swf loaded at runtime into its own application domain bubbles to the FrontController
instance in the swf file that loaded it. I thought that because the two swf
files occupied different application domains, the view hierarchies would not
intersect.

I guess I was wrong. Is it the case that the application
object of an swf file loaded at runtime is contained by the application object
of the swf that loaded it? If so, I’m surprised to find that the
parentApplication property of the loaded application is null. Where is the
reference in the contained application that allows the event to bubble to the
containing application?

BTW: To work around this difficulty, I’ve change org.nevis.cairngorm.control.FrontController:::executeCommand
to:

private
function executeCommand( event : CairngormEvent ) : void

{

var
commandToInitialise : Class = getCommand( event.type );

var
commandToExecute : Command = new commandToInitialise();

event.stopPropagation();
// Add this line

commandToExecute.execute(
event );

}

If anyone thinks this a dangerous change, I’d like to
know.

Thanks.

Tobias.

RE: [flexcoders] Calling one Flex app from another

2006-06-30 Thread Tobias Patton













You can use the SWFLoader class to load a
Flex application from a URL and add it as a child of your application.

Subject: [flexcoders] Calling one
Flex app from another



 







OK let me see if I can explain this :)

I have a website that i have set up with 2 frames. The left frame contains a
flex 
application that is basically just an accordian for navigating. Each accordian
option is 
considered a different module in our system. So for example I have one called 
"Administration" its canvas has 6 different buttons that will link to
different components in 
the Administration module.

So when the Administration accordian panel is selected it also needs to load
the 
administration Flex application into the right hand frame on the page. The
reason I want 
to do this is each Module will be rather large so I do not want one VERY big
flex file that 
would take forever to load up. Each module will be its own app and users
typically will 
spend the whole day iin one module so only a single load time.

Anyway what i need to happen is if someone clciks one of the buttons from the
accordian 
canvas it needs to open a cooresponding state in the other application file.
For axample in 
the Administration module there is a button for Users, this needs to open the
User state in 
the Administration Application in the right frame. Clickiing CLients button
needs to open 
the clients state in the right frame. 

So my question is, is this even possible?? Can I open a certain state in
another flex 
application from a different flex application?? 

IF so how would the paths look?

IS there another way to accomplish this goal. Another reason for this layout is
so the 
accordian can easily be hidden when we don't want/need to use it.

Hope I explained this well, thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Calling one Flex app from another

2006-06-30 Thread Tobias Patton

The LocalConnection class allows one Flex
application to invoke methods in another. If you load the “inner”
application into the same Application Domain as the “outer”
application, you may be able to call functions and methods in the “inner”
application directly, but I’m not sure how.

THanks. I think what I was getting at in my original question was how do I call
a certain state 
that exists in another flex app in another HTML frame from a different flex app
button??

However I may be able to accomplish what I want with the SWLoader command. I
have 
created a new app with a HDIvdeBox container. The left container holds the
Accordian, the 
right I want to hold different MXML files depending on the accordian chosen.
Each accodian 
panel has several buttons that I want to change states in the loaded SW file.
How do I do 
that?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Responder interface changes

2006-07-04 Thread Tobias Patton

Hi Steven;

Although I risk being accused of hijacking
this thread, I can suggest one change to Cairngorm:

com.adobe.cairngorm.control.FrontController

  private
function executeCommand( event : CairngormEvent ) : void

  {

var commandToInitialise : Class = getCommand( event.type );

var commandToExecute : Command = new commandToInitialise();

event.stopPropogation(); //         ß change is here

commandToExecute.execute( event );

  }

In the case where application A
dynamically loads application B into a separate application domain that is not
a child of application A’s domain, the FrontController of application A
will get events from application B. Since an event from application B cannot be
coerced into the event class with the same name in application A, a run-time
error will occur unless propagation of the event is halted in application B’s
front controller.

I mention this now because I’m in
the process of converting our Flex 2B3 application to Flex 2 (final) and am
copying the change in FrontController.

Tobias.

Jesse,

I'd love for you to share the
modifications you're making to Cairngorm, and to understand the rationale
behind these changes.  It's not our intention that developers would
typically  need to change the framework locally, and doing so certainly makes
it more difficult for folks to follow us on any upgrade paths as time rolls
by.  Different strokes for different folks though.

But if you can share your motives for
changes, and the changes themselves, then we can consider rolling them into the
framework if they satisfy general concerns.

ResultEvent(event).result

I can't remember if you can cast in the function signature as:

Ah ha. Actually, I had to change them to

public function onFault(event:* = null):void

so that they matched the signature exactly. I guess my confusion was
in that I was viewing the :* as meaning the developer could specify

that is in fact not the case. I have to agree with Jester; I don't

[flexcoders] Flex 2: Debugger annoyance

2006-07-05 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello Flexcoders;

 

Sometimes when I’m in a debugging session, one or more
variables in the Variables windows refuses to close. If I click “-“
next to the row it closes, but then immediately opens up again. This is
irritating because the debugger seems to slow down the more variables are open
for inspection.

 

Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?

 

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] How to properly subclass a component using mxml

This is just a shot in the dark:

 

Does your subclass of DataGrid have any
children defined? I’ve never come across this myself, but I’ve read
in various places that if a component has children in its definition, it’s
not possible to add children when instantiating it.

I want to

The problem is that if I try to use the new component as if it was a dataGrid,
certain things dont work. For example: 


 
            
             
    


in the above example, it doesnt like me using the columns construct to define
the columns. In order to define columns in this way I need to put then in the
actual BetterDataGrid component as opposed to in this instance. This makes it
doggone hard to use BetterDataGrid as a generic "better dataGrid"
since I cannot define its behavior on an instance by instance basis. 

I am sure what I am doing wrong here is simple, but I dont know what.

Any insight appreciated.

[flexcoders] Flex2: Problem with list item renderers in a popup title window

2006-07-10 Thread Tobias Patton

Hello Flexcoders;

I have a TitleWindow whose only child is a List. The List
uses a custom itemRenderer that just draws an HBox with a TextLabel inside. This
all works as expected. However, if I use PopupManager to create a popup using
the TitleWindow sublass, there are problems.

When scrolling the list down, an extra itemRenderer is drawn
above the bounds of the list. Likewise, when scrolling up, an itemRender is
drawn below the bottom bounds of the List. I tried setting clipContents on the
TitleWindow to “true”, but that made no difference.

This problem only occurs when the TitleWindow is “popped
up”. Does anyone have an idea what I can do to fix this?

Thanks.

Tobias.

Here’s a simple application that reproduces the
problem:

creationComplete="OnLoad()">

MyTitleWindow.mxml

height="300">

Three

[flexcoders] Flex2: Bizarre binding problem

2006-07-18 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello Flexcoders;

 

I’m hoping someone can help me understand what’s
going on here.

 

I have a custom component that subclasses Canvas. It works
much list a List in that it uses a dataProvider to pass a data object to child
object (item renderer). The child objects render the data object in some
appropriate manner. One of the item renderers is very simple – an image
with some text below it. The image displayed is chosen from a number of
embedded images based on a property of the data object.

 

The image object looks like:

 



 

And there is a function in the Script section:

 

private function GetImage( kind : uint ) : Class

{

 if( kind == 0 )

 {

  
return image1;
     }

 else …
}

 

This does not work. The source parameter of the Image object
is never populated. In fact, the GetImage() function is never called with a non-null
value! 

 

There is a workaround, but I’m truly at a loss to
explain why it works. If the GetImage() function is changed to return Object
instead of Class, everything works as expected. Since Class is a subclass of
Object, the up-cast is automatic and no other changes are required.  With
this change in place, the GetImage() function is called initially with null,
but later with a real value. 

 

How could the return value of a function change the way
binding operates?

 

I’ve attached some simple code at the end of this
email that reproduces the problem with the minimal work. If someone has an
explanation for what’s going on here, I’d be very grateful.

 

Thanks.

Tobias.

To add to Jester's imaginative response,
ArrayCollection actually wraps an Array.  So inside, there is an Array,

Could someone please explain the difference, or suggest a URL

When I learned about arrays through Phillip Kerman's Actionscript

reference each drawer with an index. What would an "arrayCollection"

[flexcoders] Flex2: Question and SecurityPolicy.loadPolicyFile()

2006-08-02 Thread Tobias Patton

Hello Flexcoders;

Is there a way to know when SecurityPolicy.loadPolicyFile( )
has completed?

A little background: our Flex application needs to
communicate with another application running on the same machine. We are using
an XML socket to host the communication. When the user clicks the buttons that
exposes this functionality, a Cairngorm command is executed that does the
following:

1) Call
SecurityPolicy.loadPolicyFile(). The server responds with a
XML document.

2) Create an
XML socket on the same IP address and port as specified in the loadPolicyFile()
call.

3) Send a small
XML file to the socket.

4) The server
closes the socket.

I’m running into a problem where the send() operation
on a socket returns successfully, but fails to send any data. This only happens
if I call SecurityPolicy.loadPolicyFile() immediately before calling
socket.connect(). If I use a timer to delay the send() call 500ms after the loadPolicyFile(),
there is no problem.

The docs state:

When considering a request that requires a policy
file, Flash Player always waits for the completion of any policy file downloads
before denying a request

But this had not been my experience. Well, I guess the
send() operation is not denied, it’s just never executed.

My solution right now is to use a timer to delay the send()
operation, but this feels like a nasty hack. Is there a better way?

Thanks.
Tobias.

My solution to this problem was to attach
a changeWatcher to the selectedIndex. The changeWatcher’s callback will
be invoked when the value is changed programmatically. It’s also invoked
when the change is from a user action, but the event kind is different, so you
can distinguish between the two.

RE: [flexcoders] fundamental logout problem...

2006-08-04 Thread Tobias Patton













You could store all the user’s data
in a singleton object, like a Cairngorm data model. The data model has “Reset()”
method that returns all the data to its initial state. The Logout handler could
call dataModel.Reset().

I've built a system that utilizes a login/logout process. The login portion
works great. I realize now that my app is 95% complete, that when logout is
executed, all it really does is change states, clear the user singleton
instance, but what I didn't realize was going to be a challange is how to
globally log them out so that data throughout the app is wiped clean slate, and
when another user logs in, they won't get the previous users data. 





 





I've tried all the initialize,creationComplete,updateComplete,
and oher methods and they don't do the trick.





 





Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] how do I get the "type" or "class" of an object in AS3

2006-08-11 Thread Tobias Patton

The “is” keyword is probably
good enough for your purposes, but if you need more information, e.g. the name
of the class, it’s superclass, interfaces it implements, etc. you can use
describeType() to get an XML document with all that information.

[flexcoders] Flex2: Trouble with BaseListData.rowIndex

2006-08-15 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello Flexcoders;

 

I’m trying to write a list item renderer that alternates
its background color based on its position in its parent list’s data
provider. I know I could use the alternatingItemColors style on the list, but I
don’t like the way it’s implemented. (Even rows with no content get
the alternating colors. IMHO, empty rows should look like empty rows.)

 

My item renderer implements IDropInListItemRenderer and
caches the rowIndex parameter of the list data in a bindable attribute. However,
if you run the test application included at the bottom of this email, you’ll
see that the rowIndex parameter is incorrect when the list is scrolled. When
scrolling down, items added to the bottom of the list get the same rowIndex as
the item above them. When scrolling up, items added to the top of the list
always get rowIndex 0. 

 

The rowIndex parameters can be re-established with the
correct values by making some change to the list that forces it to redraw. For
instance, changing the rowHeight parameter.

 

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks.

Tobias.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to subclass a singleton class ---- cairngorm issue --- Please help!!

2006-04-27 Thread Tobias Patton

Hi Larry;

When you create an mxml file you really are creating a subclass. The
mxml is converted to AS before compiling. If you tell the compiler to
keep generated files, you can see exactly what this looks like, and
convince yourself that it's true.

I think what happens with ServiceLocator is this: you create an instance
of your subclass of ServiceLocator (call it MyLocator) as a child of
your application. When the application is instantiated, the Flex
framework creates an instance of MyLocator by invoking its constructor.
Since MyLocator does not define a constructor, the constructor of its
superclass, ServiceLocator, is invoked. If you look at ServiceLocator's
constructor, you'll see that it assigns 'this' to the class member
serviceLocator. The important thing to realize here is that 'this' is an
instance of MyLocator, not ServiceLocator. So, subsequent calls to
ServiceLocator.getInstance() returns an instance of MyLocator.

Some fancy footwork here, to be sure.

Tobias.

Thanks a lot michael.

A step by step example would be extremely helpful. I'm sure it will 
help me clarify a few things.

Please email the code to this email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I re-think about the whole issue again and guess the thing that I 
would like to figure out here is what exactly happens in flex when 
you do this:

http://www.macromedia.com/2003/
 mxml" xmlns:cairngorm="org.nevis.cairngorm.business.*" >

  result="event.call.resultHandler( event )"
  fault="event.call.faultHandler( event )">

This is the way that you subclass a class in flex. but does flex 
really create a class that inherits from ServiceLocator class or does 
it create something else which "somehow" copies the code from 
ServiceLocator class and create a new class with a property of 
RemoteObject ?

if it is really subclassing, then in your code, when you do

public function CustomerListDelegate ( responder : Responder )
 {
   this.service = ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService("
roCustList");
   this.responder = responder;
 }

ServiceLocator.getInstance() should return a reference to the parent 
class, not child class. Then how can you use getService() function to 
return a reference to the remoting object? the Parent class "
ServiceLocator" defined in cairngorm does not have a property of 
RemoteObject. It's the child class that we created using MXML has a 
property of remoteObject.

I'm sorry for making this confusing and complicated. I just want to 
know how the framework really works.

Thanks for the help again,

Larry

[flexcoders] Flex 2b2: Performance of XML api

2006-04-27 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello flexcoders;

 

Has anyone else experienced terrible performance building
nested XML trees?

 

I wrote a test ActionScript app that builds a nested XML
document with the structure:

 



   
 

   


   
    

   
    

   


   


   




 

I wrote two functions to generate the XML. One using
recursion (ToDeepXML), and one using only iteration (ToDeepXMLNoRecurse). (I
also wrote ToWideXML which builds a balanced tree). The timing results for 200
terms are as follows:

 

ToWideXml
343 ms

ToDeepXml
434213 ms

ToDeepXmlNoRecurs
31 ms

 

There is a performance penalty to paid for using recursion,
but I don’t think this could account for an exponential difference in
performance, like what we’re seeing here. If XML object are represented
internally as strings, then the performance difference could be explained by
the fact that the recursive algorithm does insertions, while the non-recursive
algorithm only ever appends. The insertions would involve a lot memory copying,
which never helps performance.

 

Here’s the code I used for testing:

 





    creationComplete="OnCreationComplete()">

[flexcoders] Flex 2B2: Can't connect a Socket() on Mac OS X

2006-05-03 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello flexcoders;

 

I’ve written a small Flex
application that connects to a server running on localhost:50007 using a flash.net.Socket.
The user can send text to the server and view the response. My main goal in
this was to determine if a SWF file hosted on a website can communicate to an
application running on localhost using a Socket. (The answer is “yes”,
provided the server running on localhost is prepared to serve up a crossdomain.xml
file.)

 

The server running on localhost is
written in Python and is a simple echo server that can also respond to the “”
message.

 

This all works fine when running on my
Windows XP machine, but when I try the application on my Mac, the socket fails
to connect. I know that the server is working as expected because I can connect
succesfully to it using a Python client. When running on a Mac, the OnSocketConnect()
event handler is never invoked. The problem persists regardless of whether the
client SWF file is hosted on a web-server on on the local filesystem. I.e. I don’t
think this is a sandbox security issue. 

 

If anyone can see something that I’m
doing wrong, I’d appreciate being straightened out.

 

Thanks.


Tobias.

 

Here’s the server code (Python):

 

# Echo server program

import re

import socket

 

HOST =
''
# Symbolic name meaning the local host

PORT =
50007 
# Arbitrary non-privileged port

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,
socket.SOCK_STREAM)

s.bind((HOST, PORT))

 

while 1:

    s.listen(1)

    conn, addr =
s.accept()

    print 'Connected by',
addr

    

    data = "">

    if not data: break

    print 'In: ', '"'
+ data + '"'

    

    outData = data

    

    if re.search(
'', data ):

   
outData = ( '' +

   
'' +

  
'' +

   
'' )

    

    print "Out:
", '"' + outData + '"'

    conn.send(
outData  );

   


conn.close()

 

And here’s the client:

 





    creationComplete="OnCreationComplete()">

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2B2: Can't connect a Socket() on Mac OS X

2006-05-03 Thread Tobias Patton




Hi Weyert;

I tried switching Socket to XMLSocket, but have exactly the same
problem. It works on Windows, but not Mac.

I should have noted in my previous email that on the Mac, the server
receives the "" data and sends the appropriate
response, but that's when things stop working. This happens regardless
of whether or not I call loadSecurityPolicy() explicitly.

Tobias.

What if you use XMLSocket will it work locally then? I haven't any
problems to connect to a local xmlsocketserver in MacOSX using Flash.
You
can use XMLSockets too, when you only want to echo things, or when you
aren't really traffic/binary minded.

[flexcoders] Flex 2B2: Cross-platform bug in XMLSocket?

2006-05-04 Thread Tobias Patton

Hello flexcoders (and Adobe, I hope);

I’ve been working on getting a Flex application to
talk to an application on the local machine through an XML socket. Getting this
to work using the Windows Flash player was trivially easy. Getting it to work
using the Mac OS X Flash player has so far proven impossible.

I’m using the SimpleServer Java code shown at: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex20beta2/2515.html

The client code is very simple. It
basically calls socket.connect( “localhost”, 8080) and socket.send(…).
I will paste it into the email below my signature.

For these initial tests, the client is
running from the local filesystem and the server is hosted on the same machine.

When running using the Mac Flash Player,
the socket is never connected on the client side. However, as soon a the client
calls m_socket.connect(…), the server’s call to socket.accept()
returns. So the server thinks the socket is connected, but the client does not.
When I kill the client by closing the browser window, the server echoes the
text “” to the console which means
that this text was received on the incoming socket.

The security policy request is strange,
in that when both client and server are running on the local file system under
Windows, no such request is made. However, I think it’s tangential to the
main problem – it does not seem possible to connect a socket when running
under the OS X Flash Player.

I would be very gratefull is someone
could look at my code and tell me that I’ve made a stupid mistake.

Thanks.

Tobias.

[flexcoders] Beta2 and Beta3 Mac OS X browser crash

2006-05-23 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello Flexcoders;

 

I’ve come across a problem where the Safari browser
will crash when loading an SWF file. This affects some computers, but not
others. I’ve not been able to isolate what’s different about the
computers where the crash occurs compared to those where it doesn’t. I’ve
created two SWF files that trigger the crash. The similarity between these two
files is that they both access the network. One uses XMLSocket, the other
WebService. In both cases, the stack trace is very similar. I’ve appended
the stack trace from the crash when loading the SWF file that uses XMLSocket.

 

This crash affects Flash Player 8.5b2 and Flash Player 9b3.

 

Has anyone else seen this problem? Anyone know if there’s
anything I can do to work around it?

 

More importantly, anyone at Adobe know if it will be fixed
in a future release?

 

Thanks.

Alrighty, I'll take one for
the team and post the stupidest question of the day, in fact its Stacey++ since
I accidentally posted this to the Flashcoders list….

 

- I have the following (flex
2b3)

 

 
[Embed(source='assets/header.png',scaleGridTop='20', scaleGridLeft='10',

   
scaleGridBottom='30', scaleGridRight='20')] [Bindable] var headerImage:Class;

 

and

 



 

Basically it should be a
header that expands width wise use the scale grid. 

Its definitely NOT working
for me regardless of how I set it up. Does it need to be within a container (
tried that, didn't get the results I wanted)

 

Ultimately the left has to
be like 200 pixels in rather than those numbers, but whatever.

 

Also the docs are
inconsistent, some examples show the scale properties assigned to strings, some
show numbers..

 

Anyone got a simple example of this that I could try
using, this is driving me nuts, just trying to get an expanding header...

Maybe you’re not looking in the

the “Help” menu. I think that all the documentation and tutorials
available online can be found here.

There is virtually no documentaion as part of the flex2 Beta download.
There are samples, sure, but not documentation. None. There are
"documentation" links embedded within the readme.html that point
back to various macromedia sites but they don't work.

[flexcoders] Flex2b3: Buttons with cornerRadius look nasty

2006-05-30 Thread Tobias Patton











When I set the corner radius of a Button to 16 pixels
(giving the button an oval appearance), the button looks nasty when rendered. Above
the button, there is a shadow that looks to be in the shape of the normal  trapezoidal
button. Any ideas?

 

Here’s the code:

 





    

    Button

    {

    cornerRadius   : 16;
   

    fillColors       :
#44,#44; 

    fillAlphas      :
100,100;

    color    :
#FF;

    textRollOverColor  :
#FFCC00;

    }

    

    

    verticalAlign="middle"
horizontalAlign="center">

RE: [flexcoders] Namespace hell

Hi Ben;

 

You can get this to work using the
labelFunction property of the DataGridColumn.

 





 

   

  

   

 

   

  dataProvider="{entries.ns::Entry}">

OK, I have posted several times now about problems
caused by having
namespaces in XML in Flex (specifically Beta 3), and have gotten
virtually no responses. Please, someone respond, even if to say "I
have the same problem" or "this can't be done". I am beginning
to
think that Flex is simply not very capable in this area. I seriously
hope this is not the case.

Default namespaces seem to be the most problematic, as they seem to
prevent the XML from even being used as a DataProvider. Take this
simple setup.

===
var entries:XML = 
http://site.com/Back/DocMetadata">

5/5/2006 9:56:30 AM
RPRe>


5/3/2006 3:07:27 PM
RPRe>

;

namespace d = "http://site.com/Back/DocMetadata";
var list:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection(entries.d::Entry);
myDataGrid.dataProvider = list;

>





===

This results in the DataGrid being populated with 2 items, but there
is no text displayed. You simply have empty rollovers. However, if you
remove the namespace from the xml and update the AS accordingly,
everything works correctly, with text being displayed as expected. Is
this really a shortcoming of Flex or am I missing something really simple?

Thanks,
Ben

RE: [flexcoders] Re: The namespace that won't die

2006-06-14 Thread Tobias Patton











I think you do have to specify the
namespace for each component. Unless a child node explicitly specifies a
namespace, it inherits the namespace of its parent node.

 

It makes your code a bit more verbose, but
shouldn’t cause any real problems.

 

Tobias.

RE: [flexcoders] Please Help With MXMLC Compile Error

2006-06-20 Thread Tobias Patton











Hi Lance;

 

I had a similar problem and the solution
was to remove all the comments from the mxml file that was failing in the
compiler.

 

Yes. That’s right. Remove all the
comments. It made no sense to me either.

 

I’ve been assured by Adobe that this
is a known bug that will be fixed in the next release.

I posted
this a few days ago with no response. I am still hoping that I can resolve this
or at least feel comfortable in believing that the error might go away with the
next release of Flex.

 

I might feel
this error is my fault but what I can’t get around is the fact that it
compiles fine from FlexBuilder but not MXMLC compiler. I thought FlexBuilder
uses MXMLC as its compiler?

 

I have tried
reproducing the problem with smaller applications but it works just fine. The
error only comes up on a much larger application I am working on.

 

Here is the
entire error:

[flexcoders] Flex 2B3 - Feature request: smooth scrolling list

2006-06-23 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello Flexcoders;

 

The current behavior of the list control is to scroll in
increments of the tallest (or widest for horizontal lists) item currently
visible. When the list is small and the items big, this provides a fairly “chunky”
scrolling experience. I would like to be able to set the scroll increment
manually to provide a smoother scrolling experience.

 

If anyone has any ideas how to work around this problem, I’d
love to hear them. I’ve tried using a repeater, but when there are a
large number of items this can become very slow, even when the “recycleChildren”
flag is set to “true”.

 

Tobias.

You need to put:

[flexcoders] compc and Unicode properties files

2006-03-17 Thread Tobias Patton











The documentation (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/documentation/en/flex/2/flex2_appdev.pdf)
for localization states that property files can be encoded as Latin-1 or
Unicode (\u). However, when I try to compile a UTF-16 property file, I get
the error:

 

[compc] DSHB_Strings_properties(14): col: 23 Error: End of
input reached before closing quote for string literal

[compc]

[compc] __propObj["■ 

[compc]   ^

[compc]

[compc] DSHB_Strings_properties(17): col: 2 Error: Expecting
rightbrace before end of program

[compc]

[compc] package

 

I thought perhaps the BOM was getting in the way, so I
removed it in a hex editor, but this made no difference. It looks as though the
compiler is choking on the double-byte characters.

 

If I encode the properties file as UTF-8, I get a runtime
error stating that the resource could not be found. I think this is due to the
BOM. If I put the string on the second line of the file, I don’t get the
runtime error, but the string is corrupted (Japanese characters rendering as
garbage Latin-1 characters.)

 

Any ideas?


Thanks.

Tobias.

RE: [flexcoders] compc and Unicode properties files

2006-03-20 Thread Tobias Patton

I figured out late on Friday that there is no support for double-byte
characters in property files. I had to check my calendar to confirm
that, yes, this is the 21st century. I come from the land of C++, and
have had very little exposure to Java.  This is my only excuse.

My plan is to use a TMX database to store localized strings. We have a
number of hand-rolled tools to extract, merge and manipulate TMX files.
I suspect it won't be too hard to write a tool to export TMX to
properties files, now that I know about escaped Unicode.

no, that should be "escaped" ASCII unicode or as sun calls it
"Unicode-encoded"
as used in java style resource bundles (rb) NOT utf-anything.

shouldn't be *any* "double-byte characters", it should be "escaped"
ASCII
unicode. what are you using to create/manage the property files? if you
have the
JDK installed someplace & your resource bundles are utf-8 or whatever,
try using
the command-line native2ascii tool to convert the these into proper rb.
otherwise get an rb tool.

frankly for anything even mildly complex you *should* be using an rb
tool like
ibm's rbManager (part of the icu4j project). trying to handle what's
been
translated, managing changes, interfacing w/3rd party translation
agencies, etc.
with something like notepad will ruin your day.

[flexcoders] The @Resource compiler directive

2006-03-20 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello list;

 

I’m working on developing a localization strategy for
our Flex application.

 

I have successfully used the @Resource directive to set the
text attribute of mx:Label components to a localized value:

 



    styleName="searchLabelStyle"/>

 

But I have not been able to do the same with an mx:XML
component that is used as the data provider for a popup menu. The following code
results in the label attribute having the literal value “@Resource…”.

 



    



 

I’ve resorted to building the XML data provider
programmatically, but was wondering if there are any plans to support the
@Resource directive in XML components.

 

Thanks.

Tobias.

[flexcoders] Beta 2: ListEvent.itemRenderer is always null?

2006-03-21 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello List;

 

I’m going through the process, as many of you are, of
updating my project to Beta 2. I have an event handler for the
ListEvent.ON_CLICK event. In Beta 1, I would examine the event’s cell
property which contained a reference to the item renderer for the clicked item.
But, in Beta 2 there is no cell property. There is, however, an itemRenderer
property described in the docs as: The data provider element for
the item being edited, clicked, or pressed.

 

Sounds promising, right? But unfortunately, this property of
the event always seems to be null.

 

Anyone know what’s going on here?

 

Thanks.
Tobias.

[flexcoders] Changes to mxmlc in Beta 2?

2006-03-22 Thread Tobias Patton












Hello list;

 

Since I upgraded to Beta 2, my mxmlc compilations have been
problematic. Specifically, I get the runtime error: “Error: Key
outOfBounds was not found in resource bundle SharedResources”

 

I only get this error when I set the –library-path
switch to point to the directory that contains corelib.swc. The relevant part
of the command line looks like this:

 

-library-path
D:\PerforceDepot\galiano\Galiano.Tobias_Patton\tools\compiler\Flex2b2\frameworks\libs\
D:\PerforceDepot\galiano\Galiano.Tobias_Patton\Client\oem\corelib\bin\ 

 

If I remove the library-path element that points to
corelib\bin (and also remove the code that depends on corelib), I can compile
and run successfully. 

 

Also, I can compile and run from the IDE where I just added
corelib.swc to the list of libraries in the “Flex Build Path” tab
of the project properties dialog.

 

The same command line worked in Beta 1.

 

Can anyone help?


Thanks.

Tobias.

[flexcoders] Flex 2.0: mxmlc question

2006-03-22 Thread Tobias Patton












Can someone explain the difference between the “-include-libraries”
and “-library-path” compiler options?

 

The documentation states that “-include-libraries”
is commonly used to link in an .swc file containing localized resources. But what
about .swc file containing other .swc files used by the application? The
documentation for “-library-path” implies that this option should
be used to link in custom components. What is the difference? When I add a
library in Flex Builder, does this translate to an “-include-libraries”
option of a “-library-path” option?

 

Also, the documentation states that the Flex compilers do
not use a config file by default. However, unless I specify the “-load-config”
option, I get the error: defaults: Error: unable to open './flex-config.xml'. Is
this flag required or not?

 

Thanks.

Tobias.

So, to link corelib.swc into my

This used  to work in Beta 1.

 

If I remove the reference to corelib.swc
from the command line (and comment out any code that depends on corelib), I can
compile and run the application. 

 

Can you suggest what might be wrong with
the way I’m building the application?


Thanks.

BTW: The reason flex-config.xml couldn’t

library-path makes SWCs available for
resolving class dependencies.  This is normally what you want.

include-libraries forces all symbols in
the SWCs to be included in the application, whether they are needed or not.

 

 

I don't know why you'd get that error
unless you're not using mxmlc or Flex Builder.  By default, the compiler
tries to load flex-config.xml out of ${flexlib}, which for mxmlc.exe is
relative to the bin directory, and I suspect is set explicitly by Flex Builder.

 

I don't know what the "does not use a
config file by default" means.  mxmlc certainly loads a
flex-config.xml file by default.  I'm not positive what Flex Builder does,
though.

 

In beta 2, you should be able to use
-load-config+=otherfile.xml to overlay your config on top of the default
config.

 

In other words, the config file isn't
required, but there are some default settings that are trying to load it. 
Something about your setup sounds broken.

Can someone
explain the difference between the “-include-libraries” and
“-library-path” compiler options?

The
documentation states that “-include-libraries” is commonly used to
link in an .swc file containing localized resources. But what about .swc file
containing other .swc files used by the application? The documentation for
“-library-path” implies that this option should be used to link in
custom components. What is the difference? When I add a library in Flex
Builder, does this translate to an “-include-libraries” option of a
“-library-path” option?

Also,
the documentation states that the Flex compilers do not use a config file by
default. However, unless I specify the “-load-config” option, I get
the error: defaults: Error: unable to open './flex-config.xml'. Is this flag
required or not?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Bug in list.selectedIndices

2006-03-23 Thread Tobias Patton












Just a quick note to Adobe:

 

I reported a bug in Flex 2 Beta 1 where the selectedIndices
property of a list control would not contain the correct values if the user
selected multiple entries using the shift key. The problems is still in Beta 2.

 

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0: mxmlc question

2006-03-23 Thread Tobias Patton












The only swc I’m adding is corelib,
which was downloaded from http://labs.macromedia.com/wiki/index.php/ActionScript_3:resources:apis:libraries#corelib.
I guess it’s safe to assume that it was built with the Beta 1 compiler. I
would have thought this was the problem except for the fact that I can build
the same project through Flex Builder. The very same corelib.swc is added as a
library in the project properties.

 

When a library is added to a project using
Flex Builder, is that the same as adding a –library-path option to mxmlc?
There are options available in Flex Builder for added .swc files (Source attachment,
link type, RSL URL, auto extract swf) that don’t seem to translate
directly to the command line.

 

Tobias.

 

I don’t think the “copy the
en_US directory” would work here. en_US  is my current system
locale, and it’s also the folder pointed to by the flex-config.xml file.
The people who found this hack to work for them were all in a different locale.

First, make certain you don't have any Beta1 SWCs
being loaded by Beta2.  That will break.

 

If you add corelib.swc (or its parent directory) to
your library path, it will make it available to be linked in.

 

Its choking in the ResourceBundle code, which
implies to me that ListCollectionView isn't getting something it needs. 
Have you done the same sort of "copy the en_us directory" locale hack
that has worked for other people?

Hi Roger;



So, to link corelib.swc into my application, you’d
supply the path to corelib as an argument to the –library-path option?
Here’s the command-line I’m using:

mxmlc -actionscript-classpath=D:\PerforceDepot\galiano\Galiano.Tobias_Patton\Client\classes

This compiles, but I get the following runtime error when I
launch my application:

Including the up-to-date source for corelib in my actionscript classpath

The mystery remains, however, as to why I could link against the old

Yes. We have not rebuilt those SWCs for beta 2 yet (trying to track down

In the meantime, you can link against the source which has been updated.

[flexcoders] Format of UIDUtils.createUid() string is incorrect

2006-03-24 Thread Tobias Patton












Hello list;

 

My application makes a web-service call to a .NET server
that requires a UUID parameter which the client must generate. The call was
failing and I was at a loss to figure out why until I looked in the WSDL and
noticed that the GUID is defined a string of hex digits in groups of 8, 4, 4,
4, and 12.

 

However, the GUID generated by UIDUtils has groupings of 8,
4, 4, and 16 (e.g. DC3ADAA2-5E84-9977-33BDDC55). I don’t think this is
correct. In fact, the documentation for the createUid function claims: 

The UID
has the form "----"
where X is a hexadecimal digit (0-9, A-F).    

Does anyone from Adobe know if this will be fixed in
subsequent version of the framework?

That should work, since the fourth grouping represents two different

to consider.

I also had to do conversion between UUIDs in 8-4-4-4-12 and 8-4-4-16 
formats.  The workaround is trivial: since these are strings, I just 
removed or inserted the final dash character as needed.

[flexcoders] Flex 2: WebServervice call sometimes swaps parameters

2006-03-27 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello list;

 

My application invokes a .NET web service that takes two
string parameters (SessionID and Query). On occasion, I get an error. When I
look at the RPC debug information, the SOAP envelope shows that the values for
two parameters have been swapped (ie. SessionID gets the value intended for
Query and vice-versa). 

 

The truly weird thing is that this only happens sometimes. If
I get the error, the very next run of the application may or may not show it,
with no code changes. This sounds like the kind of bug that would result from a
race-condition, but I don’t see how that could be the case in mapping
function parameters to SOAP parameters.

 

I think I remember seeing this problem posted to the list
before, but can’t find it in the archives.

 

Can anyone help?

Thanks.
Tobias.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2: WebServervice call sometimes swaps parameters

2006-03-27 Thread Tobias Patton

Hi Tim;

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure that we're experiencing exactly the
same problem. As far as I know, our web server (ASP .NET) does not rely
on the order of parameters in the SOAP envelope. 

The problem for us is that the values passed to the server are being
placed in the wrong SOAP parameters. 

For example, here is the incorrect SOAP envelope that results in a web
service fault:

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>http://www.kodak.com/WPE/Galiano/";>http://www.kodak.com/WPE/Galiano/";>http://www.kodak.com/WPE/Galiano/";>AB4AB4A8-28C8-A580-B12B-FF
FF48A3

And here is the correct envelope (no code changes -- just a different
run of the application  ):

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>http://www.kodak.com/WPE/Galiano/";>http://www.kodak.com/WPE/Galiano/";>http://www.kodak.com/WPE/Galiano/";>8C428366-587C-D759-DD7B-FF
FF6CF8

Look at the  and  parameters. In the first example,
 is blank, and  contains a UID. In the second example,
 contains a UID, and  is blank. 

While it's true that the order of the parameters has been swapped, it's
the fact that the values for the parameters were not also swapped that
is causing the trouble.

I suppose I could change the web-service prototype to take a single,
complex object, but I'd rather not have to alter the server
implementation to fix what seems to be a bug in the client framework.

Is there a different way of defining the parameters and values for a
SOAP web service invocation? Ideally, I would create a dictionary with
SessionID and Query attributes, set the value of those attributes and
attach it to the web service call. I don't see anything in the
WebServices APIs that would let me do that though.

Tobias.

Yep, we have that too.  We were told that doc/lit support was a bit

RE: [flexcoders] List Component Bug!!

2006-03-27 Thread Tobias Patton











I think that the objects in your dataProvider
must implement the IUID interface for selection to work.

Subject: [flexcoders] List
Component Bug!!



 

Hello,

 

I was just converting a project from Beta1
to Beta2 and noticed a problem with all my List components that were bound to
data providers which are collections of custom objects.

 

The problem is that the List selection
highlight is stuck on the last item in the list.  Changing the provider to
be an array collection made up of plain instances of the Object class fixes the
problem.  The problem seems to effect anything that uses the List
component (ComboBox, DataGrid…)

 

Has anyone else seen this and found a
fix?  Using plain old Object instances are not an option.

 

Here is some sample code that shows the
problem.

 





   


   


   


   


   


   




 

//-- MyObject.as -

 

package {

 

   
public class MyObject extends Object {

   
public var name:String;

   
}

}

[flexcoders] How to get the XML of a SOAP fault

2006-03-27 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello list;

 

I’m trying to extract SOAP exception information in
the fault handler of my web service call. Using tcpflow on my Mac, I can see
the that the raw SOAP response looks like this:

 

soap:ClientFault
occurredhttp://galiano.creo.com/App/1.3/Service.asmxFoo

 

I would like to be able to get the  node from
the XML stream, but can’t find the XML anywhere in the FaultEvent sent to
my event handler. I would have expected to see it in event.message.body, since
this is where it would be in a ResultEvent. However, the debugger shows that
this object, though not null, has no contents. 

 

Any ideas?


Thanks.
Tobias.

You simply can't get it unless you use the
proxy. There is no way around this without using FP8.5 and Flex 2. We've been

RE: [flexcoders] dispatching an event from an itemRenderer

2006-03-29 Thread Tobias Patton

Does your event listener listen for events dispatched by the DataGrid?
Make sure that the event your item renderer dispatches has
"bubbles=true". That way, the DataGrid will dispatch the event after the
renderer dispatches it.

OK, this has been giving me trouble for 2 hours now. Flex 2 Beta 2,  
btw. So I have a component with a dataGrid in it. For one of the  
dataGridColumns I have itemRenderer set to another component, in  
which I have a few text fields. I would like to dispatch an event  
when one of those text fields is clicked, and add an event listener  
for it in the component containing the dataGrid. But this will just  
not happen for me. Does anyone have any examples of doing something

[flexcoders] Flex 2b2: Double click troubles

2006-04-04 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello List;

 

I have a couple questions/problems with double click events.


 


 When the user double-clicks an
 object, two events are fired. The first click fires a Click event. The
 second click fires a DoubleClick event. This is problematic when a control
 needs to implement different behaviors for click and double-click. Whenever
 the user double-clicks, the click handler is invoked before the
 double-click handler. How can the click handler know it should ignore the
 event because it’s actually part of a double-click event. 


 


 Label controls don’t seem
 to every get a DoubleClick event. Even when the doubleClickEnabled
 property is set to “true” for the entire containment
 hierarchy. Is this a bug?


 

Here’s the application I’m using to test click
and double click events:

 





    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"


    xmlns="*" 

    layout="absolute"

    doubleClickEnabled="true"

    creationComplete="OnCreationComplete()">

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    text="ClickMe"

    doubleClickEnabled="true"

    click="trace(
'Label Click' )"

    doubleClick="trace(
'Label DoubleClick' )"/>

    

    

    label="ClickMe"

    doubleClickEnabled="true"

    click="trace(
'Button Click' )"

        doubleClick="trace(
'Button DoubleClick' )"/>

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 on Mac OS X

2006-04-05 Thread Tobias Patton











You can avoid the “java –jar”
stuff if you download the Flex 2 SDK from labs.adobe.com. They provide shell
scripts (“mxmlc” and “compc”) that wrap all that stuff
up very nicely. Also, because the scripts run from the bin/ directory, they
will find the default flex-config.xml without you having to specify it on the 
command line.

 

Your command would change to:

 

mxmlc helloas3.as

 

Much simpler.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 on Mac OS X

2006-04-05 Thread Tobias Patton











What do you have on your Mac now? If you
copied over the FlexBuilder installation from a Windows machine, you can just
take mxmlc and compc from the bin directory of the sdk and copy them into the
FlexBuilder bin directory. 

 

If you run mxmlc from the bin directory,
it will automatically find flex-config.xml. It will also automatically find the
frameworks folder for linking. All that’s left to specify is the file to
compile. Since the –file-specs argument is the default argument, you can omit it.

RE: [flexcoders] Cell Renderer for List

2006-04-06 Thread Tobias Patton

Here's my take. I might be wrong on some details since I figured this
out through discovery, not documentation, but I think it's generally
correct.

The problem lies in how the list uses renderers. Regardless of how many
items there are in your list, there are only as many renderers created
as there are *visible* rows in the list. As you scroll the list, these
renderers are re-used to display new content. In other words, as you
scroll, each renderer's setData() method is called with a new data
object for it to render.

The solution is to keep the selected state attribute in the data object
which your renderer encapsulates. Bind some visible aspect of the
renderer (background color, eg.) to the selected state attribute in the
data object.
 
Tobias.

I was wondering if somone could help me with a cell renderer for a
list.  Basically, I am trying to create a multi-select list where the
user would simply click to select or not select an item.  I have set
the selectable attribute to false for the list and am using a custom
renderer with a mouseDown event.  Then, if the option is selected, I
set the background color of cell renderer.  everything works fine, but
the cell renderer seems to repeat itself, meaning if the list scrolls
and one of the selections are highlighted, then the corresponding row
on the next "page" is also highlighted.  For example, if the list
shows 5 rows and you select row 1, then row 6 will also be
highlighted.  I've listed the code bellow.  If someone could help me
avoid this behavior, it would be much apprecited.

[flexcoders] Flex 2: How to get the hand cursor?

2006-04-06 Thread Tobias Patton











Hopefully this is an easy one.

 

The cursor manager only seems to have one built-in cursor:
the busy cursor. 

 

Is there a way to get a hand cursor, like what you would use
is a mouse-over effect for a hyperlink? Or do I have to load find an icon and
embed it?

 

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2: How to get the hand cursor?

2006-04-06 Thread Tobias Patton











Thanks for the reply.

 

Sadly, this works for some UI components
but not others. It works for mx.controls.Button, for example, but not for
mx.controls.Label, which is where I need it to work.

 

LinkButton would work for me, but it’s
got some problems. Links are generally place in-line with other text. When I
place a LinkButton next to a other text in a Label control in an HBox, two things
become clear: 1) the baseline for the LinkButton is sunken wrt to the Label and
2) the mouse-over effect is too “loud” for an in-line link.

 

Guess I’ll roll my own hyperlink
control.

Set a displayobject's buttonMode to true, and useHandCursor
to true.  That'll use the built-in hand cursor.





 





For everything else, look into using your own via
mx.managers.CursorManager.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 on Mac OS X

2006-04-13 Thread Tobias Patton











Try replacing “–load-config
flex/frameworks” with “-load-config ”

 

You really should download the SDK and use
the Mac shell scripts that do all the messy java stuff for you. Also, when you
use the shell scripts you don’t have to specify the framework path or
default config file. They get included automatically.

 

Tobias.

[flexcoders] Flex 2b2: Cairngorm SequenceCommand question

2006-04-17 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello list;

 

SequenceCommand contains the executeNextCommand()
method:

 

        public function
executeNextCommand() : void

        { 

       var isSequenceCommand :
Boolean = ( nextEvent != null );

       if( isSequenceCommand )


       { 

      dispatchEvent(
nextEvent ); 

       } 

        }

 

I found that when executing this method in
the result handler of a SequenceCommand subclass, the FrontController’s
event handler was never invoked. I changed:

 

  dispatchEvent( nextEvent ); 

 

to: 

  Application.application.dispatchEvent(
nextEvent ); 

 

And then the FrontController’s event
handler was invoked as expected. This makes sense to me, since the
SequenceCommand object was not part of the application’s display list,
the event would never bubble up to the application.

 

Has anyone come across this problem
before? Is there a different solution that doesn’t involve modifying the
Cairngorm source?

 

Thanks.

Tobias.

[flexcoders] Flex2b2: Problem casting super to an Interface

2006-04-17 Thread Tobias Patton












Hello List:

 

Given the following classes and interfaces:

 

IInterface.as

-

 

package {

    import
flash.util.trace; 

    public
interface IInterface 

    {

    function
InterfaceMethod() : void;

    }

}

 

Base.as

-

 

package {

    import
flash.util.trace; 

    public
class Base implements IInterface

    {

    public
function InterfaceMethod() : void

    {   

    trace(
"Base::InterfaceMethod" );

    }

    }

}

 

Derived.as:

---

 

package {

    import
flash.util.trace; 

    public
class Derived extends Base 

    {

    override
public function InterfaceMethod() : void

    {   

    trace(
"Derived::InterfaceMethod" );

    IInterface(
super ).InterfaceMethod();

    }

    

    }

}

 

What would you expect as the output of the following?

 

var derived : Derived = new Derived();   

IInterface( derived ).InterfaceMethod();

 

I would expect:

 

Derived::InterfaceMethod

Base:InterfaceMethod

 

But instead I get:

 

Derived::InterfaceMethod

Derived::InterfaceMethod

Derived::InterfaceMethod

Derived::InterfaceMethod

... (repeats for
ever)

 

It seems the the cast: IInterface( super )
is returning ‘this’ and not the base object for ‘this’.
Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding something. (Please note that I’m
a C++ programmer and have had little exposure to Java-style interfaces, so I
could be making a very naïve mistake and not know it.)

[flexcoders] Flex2b2: Question about controls and mouse events

2006-04-19 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello List;

 

One of the panels in my appliction has a
check box immediately to the left of a text input field. I noticed that when I
would click and drag (right to left) to select all the text in the text input,
sometimes the value of the check box would change. It turns out that to change
the value of the check box, all that is required is that a mouse-up event occur
with the mouse above the control. I was a bit sloppy with my drag select, and
was releasing the mouse beyond the left bounday of the text input, over the
check box control, and thereby changing its value.

 

Is this behavior by design? In every UI
framework I’ve worked with, both Windows and Macintosh, for a control to
change its value there must be a mouse down within the control’s click
region, followed by a mouse-up also in the click region. This allows the user
to change his mind. If the user presses the mouse button over the control, he
can move the pointer away from the control before releasing the button to avoid
activating the control. In Flex 2b2, this is not the case. This same sequence
of events activates the control. Also, in Flex 2b2, pressing the mouse button
when the pointer is not over the control, then moving the pointer over the
control before releasing the button changes the control’s value (as in
the example above). 

 

Am I the only one that thinks this
behavior is non standard, and perhaps a bit unintuitive the the typical user?

 

Here’s a small application that
demonstrates what I’m describing.

 





    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"

    xmlns="*"


    layout="vertical">

    

    

    

    

 

    

    

    mouseDown="EventHandler(
event )"

    mouseUp="EventHandler(
event )"

    buttonDown="EventHandler(
event )"

    click="EventHandler(
event )"

    valueCommit="EventHandler(
event )"/>

    

        



 

Thanks.
Tobias.

[flexcoders] Flex 2b2: [repost] Cairngorm SequenceCommand question

2006-04-19 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello list;

 

SequenceCommand contains the
executeNextCommand() method:

 

   
    public function executeNextCommand() : void

   
    { 

   
   var isSequenceCommand : Boolean = (
nextEvent != null );

   
   if( isSequenceCommand ) 

   
   { 

   
  dispatchEvent( nextEvent
); 

   
   } 

   
    }

 

I found that when executing this method in
the result handler of a SequenceCommand subclass, the FrontController’s
event handler was never invoked. I changed:

 

 
dispatchEvent( nextEvent ); 

 

to: 

 
Application.application.dispatchEvent( nextEvent ); 

 

And then the FrontController’s event
handler was invoked as expected. This makes sense to me, since the
SequenceCommand object was not part of the application’s display list,
the event would never bubble up to the application.

 

Has anyone come across this problem before?
Is there a different solution that doesn’t involve modifying the
Cairngorm source?

 

Thanks.

Tobias.

RE: [flexcoders] Best way to set component height based on size of parent container?

To have the width of the panel be calculated in relation to the parent

Subject: [flexcoders] Best way to set component height based on size of
parent container?

I have two simple scenarios that I need help with.

1.  I have a Canvas that scales with the Browser window.  On that
Canvas, I have a panel with a "top" and "bottom" layout constraint,
but I need the width to be dynamically calculated based on the width
of the Canvas - X.  

2. I have a VBox on the same Canvas. The VBox has a fixed width but
scales scales vertically with the Canvas.  Inside the VBox I have an
embeded Image.  Ideally, I'd like the Image to be vertically cropped
(assuming it's taller than the current height of the VBox) to the
height of the VBox.  Alternately (if it's easier) it could scale to
fill the VBox.  Right now the VBox's height seems to be determined by
the Image, so if I shrink the Browser window to less than the height
of the Image I get Scroll Bars, which I don't want.  

ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

[flexcoders] Flex2b2: Top-level exception handler

2006-04-20 Thread Tobias Patton











Hello flexcoders;

 

Does anyone know of a way to intercept all uncaught errors
in a Flex application? The default behavior is for the Flash Player to display
a simple dialog with the error text (the debug player also shows a stack
trace.) I’d like to change this behavior to display a dialog of my own.

 

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex2b2 - DataGrid bug - using ArrayCollection of ValueObjects as data provider

2006-04-25 Thread Tobias Patton




Hi Andi;

Your TestVO class needs to implement the IUID interface.

Tobias.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex2b2 - DataGrid bug - using ArrayCollection of
ValueObjects as data provider

Hi

Here is my vrey simple test:
http://virtualro.co.uk/~andi/flex/datagrid/Test1.html

View Source is enabled. Conains 2 very simple files.
You can see that the first DataGrid works well, the second does not.
The only difference between them is the structure of the dataprovder. 
The first one is an ArrayCollection of Objects, the second one is an 
ArrayCollection of TestVO, which is a very simple value object class 
with one single property.
How could I make the DataGrid to accept my VO-s?

Thanks
Andi

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 B 2 + Cairngorm 2 - Simple Question

2006-04-25 Thread Tobias Patton

IMHO, it makes no difference where the object is defined. In general, if
the object returned by a function call or accessor is not the type you
think it is, then you must cast it to the correct type before calling
methods or accessors defined in that type.

It gets a little bit complicated, but the crux of the problem is that
every object has two types: its static (compile-time) and its dynamic
(runtime) type. For instance I can say:

var o : Object = new String( "Hello World" );

The static type of o is Object, but its actual runtime type is String. I
can do this because String derives from Object. It's always possible to
assign an object to an instance of a class from which that object
derives.

Casting tells the compiler that you want to ignore the static type of an
object, and treat it as its dynamic type.

For example:

var myArray : Array = [ 1, 2.0, "Hello World" ];
var s : String = String( myArray[ 2 ] );
var l : int = String( myArray[ 2 ] ).length;
var o : Object = myArray[ 1 ];
var n : Number = Number( o );

Arrays can hold any object. Because of this, when you get an element out
of an Array, it is returned to you as an Object regardless of its actual
type. Casting tells the compiler that you, the programmer, know that the
returned Object is actually some other type. In the example above, I can
successfully cast Objects to String and Number.

The compiler will generate an error if the class of the object being
cast is not a super-class of the class your casting it to. Since String
and Number both derive from Object, the examples above work. But this
would generate a compiler error:

var b : VBox = new VBox();
var s : String = String( b );

because String does not derive from VBox.

Casting can generate runtime errors as well. The compiler can only check
static type information. If the actual type of the object being cast
does not derive from the type it's being cast to, you will get a
run-time error. For example:

Var s : String = String( myArray[ 1 ] );

Because the element at position 1 in the array is a Number, and because
Number does not derive from String, this command will generate a
run-time error. (This might actually not generate an error -- I haven't
tried it --  but only because there's some voodoo going on behind the
scenes that coerces between unrelated types.)

This is a very round-about way of saying that I think the Cairngorm
example is wrong. There is no need to cast model.loginVO to LoginVO
before accessing the username property. In the ViewLocator class, the
loginVO property is typed as LoginVO, so no casting is necessary. It's
runtime type matches its static type.

Tobias.

LoginVO is user defined object and where as Date is 
System defined object, no need to type the these
objects.
