[flexcoders] Programmatic chart data tip
In a Plot chart, given the x y coordinates of a datapoint (or the data values for the datapoint) is there a way to programmatically turn on and turn off the data tip for just that point? - Tom
[flexcoders] Chart legend spacing
What is the way to style the spacing in a chart's legend? Specifically, I'd like to control the spacing between legend markers and their titles as well as between legend items. In a small column chart I'm building, the spacing is far enough off that the legend titles seem to be aligned with the wrong markers.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Chart legend spacing
Great - thanks!

Hi Tom,
The horizontalGap property works for both of these in CSS.
/* controls the gap between LegendItems */
Legend {
horizontalGap: 16;
}
/* controls the gap between the LegendItem marker and the label */
LegendItem {
horizontalGap: 8;
}

Flex charts work beautifully responding to dynamic changes in data.
Using the current components, is there any way to use Flex charts to
change data?
As a conceptual model, I'm thinking of the way parametric equalizers
work in some audio programs, where it's possible to drag nodes on a
line
graph vertically or horizontally to change the parametric data.

Do you mean ChartItemEvent? I can't find ChartMouseEvent documented.
ChartItemEvent gives me the HitData and access to the item, but I seem
to lose the mouse tracking in the process.
- Tom
Ely Greenfield wrote:
That depends on what you're trying to do specifically.
The easy answer would be to say that this only works when the user
specifically clicks down and drags on an item in the chart.
In that case, I'd modify my example below by:
1) listen to the chart's itemMouseDown event instead of mouseDown
2) change the type of the event object in the mouse down handler to
ChartMouseEvent
3) in the event object, there will be a hitData property. That should
tell you which item in your dataProvider you should be updating.
4) store off a reference to that item.
5) in your track function, use localToData to convert mouse
coordinates to data coordinates
6) in track function, write those data coordinates back into the item
you stored off.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Hands-on charts
I'm trying to use a chart to do this because the data are currently

for making data changes.
That said, I'd be very interested in seeing how you implemented this.

I'm not sure if you are stuck on using charts to do this, but I think
I accomplished a similar effect to what you want a while back by using
the graphics package to draw a rectangle around a slider. I listened
for slider events and would then clear and re-run the drawRect on each
move. It was very little code and the effect was quite seamless.

Hi Tom,
I'm not sure exactly what effect you're referring to as battle of
the tooltips, but if you do need to disable a tooltip for a short
time you can do so by setting the components toolTip attribute to the
empty string (). UIComponents throw a number of events as tooltips
are shown and hidden, but I think toolTipStart and toolTipEnd are the
most relevant here.
So, in the toolTipStart event handler of the pie chart you would set
the parent components toolTip attribute to (empty string), and in
the toolTipEnd event handler you'd change it back to (single
space) or whatever value you're using.
Does that help at all?

Hello,
Somebody asked me to provide an example of how to use arbirary
components as tool tips. So here goes:
Notes
-
For a component to be used as a tooltip it must implement the
IToolTip
interface. I've used a base class (CustomToolTip) for the custom
tooltips in this example that takes care of implementing the
interface,
and a few other things as documented within the code.
Just like when using standard tooltips, you need to set the
toolTip
property of a component for a tooltip to be displayed for it.
This is
true even if you don't actually use the value in your tooltip
component. That's why I set the toolTip variables to in the
example.
When a tooltip is to be displayed for a component, that component
fires
a toolTipCreate event. To use your custom tooltip component you
need to
intercept this event and set its toolTip property to an instance
of
your custom tooltip component.

Lack-of-progress report. Your event handler suggestion works, if I use ToolTipManager to get the x and y of the currentTarget.

Re: [flexcoders] Example: Creating and using custom tooltips
Nick -
Great example!
One question. I've used your example to implement a custom tooltip on a
component that also contains a pie chart. The pie chart has a tooltip as
well.
Is there any way to temporarily disable to component's overall tooltip
while the pie chart tooltip is displaying - thereby avoiding the dreaded
battle of the tooltips.

Hello,
Somebody asked me to provide an example of how to use arbirary
components as tool tips. So here goes:
Notes
-
For a component to be used as a tooltip it must implement the IToolTip
interface. I've used a base class (CustomToolTip) for the custom
tooltips in this example that takes care of implementing the interface,
and a few other things as documented within the code.
Just like when using standard tooltips, you need to set the toolTip
property of a component for a tooltip to be displayed for it. This is
true even if you don't actually use the value in your tooltip
component. That's why I set the toolTip variables to in the example.
When a tooltip is to be displayed for a component, that component fires
a toolTipCreate event. To use your custom tooltip component you need to
intercept this event and set its toolTip property to an instance of
your custom tooltip component.
The main application code

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

mouseEnabled = false;
mouseChildren=false;

Re: [flexcoders] Spacing stacked columns
Ely and Brendan - Thanks to both of you - that worked. Now I have another problem - how to get data interpolation to work in that context. I'll put it in a fresh posting. - Tom Brendan Meutzner wrote: Too lazy to figure out how to find link to groups message in Gmail, so here's the message you're referring to... Hi Ben. When a set of column series is clustered, the chart (or columnSet) is setting the columnWidthRatio and offset properties to do it. So if you wanted to cluster differently, you could put the columnSeries inside a CartesianChart and set those properties yourself. To figure out how wide each column should be, you first need to decide how wide you want the total cluster to be, and how much each column should overlap. Then your formula would be: columnWidth = clusterWidth / (overlap + (series count)*(1-overlap)); the offset is the offset of the middle of the column from the middle of the category. given the clusterWidth and columnWidthRatio, the offset for each series is: seriesOffset(N) = -clusterWidth/2 + (1-overlap)*columnWidthRatio*(N) + columnWidthRatio/2; So if you have three series, and your total width is 75%, and the overlap should be 50%, then columnWdithRatio = .75 / (.5 + 3*(1-.5)) columnWdithRatio = .75 / 2; columnWdithRatio = .375 given that, seriesOffset(0) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*0 + .375/2; seriesOffset(0) = -.1875; seriesOffset(1) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*1 + .375/2; seriesOffset(1) = 0; seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*2 + .375/2; seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + .375 + .375/2;; seriesOffset(2) = .1875; Putting that into practice, the markup would be CartesianChart series ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=.375 offset=-.1875 / ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=.375 offset=0 / ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=.375 offset=.1875 / /CartesianChart (You may need to reverse the order of those, I don't remember) Ely. On 9/6/06, *Ely Greenfield* [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Tom. To do that you should ditch the top level columnSet, put your two sub-column sets directly in a CartesianChart, and manage the offset and columnWidthRatio properties yourself.

Yes, that is syntax was the ticket - thanks, Matt. To paraphrase Bill

I did have to do it slightly differently, to avoid a no return value

Here's how it looks:

if (e.element is ColumnSeries)
{
var col:ColumnSeries = ColumnSeries(e.element);
returnItem = b+col.name+:/bbr+ e.item[col.yField];
}
else if (e.element is LineSeries)

var line:LineSeries = LineSeries(e.element);
returnItem = b+line.name+:/bbr+ e.item[line.yField];

return returnItem;

I saw an earlier exchange where it was pointed out that creationPolicy can be set to all on a view state's AddChild tag, but this doesn't seem to help. - Tom -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

Matt - yes, that works. Still feels a bit like a workaround, but I'll

[flexcoders] Font mysteries
Fonts are exhibiting some wacky behavior for me. I have a VBox that contains two simple label elements. I'm trying to add a filter to the VBox and have the fonts in the labels display properly. Before the filter is applied, the Label fonts display fine. When I add a glow filter to the VBox, the antialiasing on the Label fonts disappears. Strangely, when the Label text is long enough to force a scrollbar on the VBox, the Label fonts are suddenly antialiased correctly. Embedding the font (I'm using Verdana) and applying it using a stylename does apply some antialiasing in the VBox with the filter, but it doesn't look nearly as good as the unstyled text in the filtered VBox with forced scrollbars or the VBox with no filter. I haven't tried FlashType fonts - that's next on my list - but I thought maybe someone could explain what's going on here or point me to a solution. - Tom Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Font mysteries
Thanks for the suggestions. Since the filter is being applied to a VBox, my only option was to try a custom setting for the cacheAsBitmap attribute. Resetting both the cacheAsBitmap and cachePolicy attributes for both the VBox and the Labels didn't solve the problem. The mystery remains... - Tom JesterXL wrote: David Colletta mentioned to me on the Flexcomponents list that Microsoft Windows' ClearType sometimes gets turned off during component redraws. I've experienced this exact same thing you have. If you turn ClearType off (desktop, right click properties, appearence tab, effects button) you can see the difference to normal fonts and embedded fonts; the ClearType does a 2nd run of anti-aliasing (sometimes). My suggestion is, if you can, utilize a bitmap with the filter on it in an imaging program and utilize scale9 where applicable. If that is not an option, attempt to use your own cacheAsBitmap policy (since Containers have their own heuristic for that stuff, cacheBitmapPolicy). - Original Message - From: Tom Fitzpatrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:tom%40streamlinestudios.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 9:53 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Font mysteries Fonts are exhibiting some wacky behavior for me.

Re: [flexcoders] show/hide panel borders (F2b3)
Hi Jim -
Thanks for your answer and sample. My problem was in changing the
borderStyle to none - that's what was messing up the panel layout.
But then I ran into a different problem - demonstrated in your example
as well - which is that changing the thickness of the border shrinks the
contents of the panel and causes everything to move inward. What I
wanted was a simple selection indicator that leaves everything inside
the panel as is. What I ended up doing was surrounding the panel with a
vbox that has all paddings set to zero and the same corner radius as the
panel, and it's this border color that I'm changing. This leaves
everything alone inside the panel.
It does bring up yet another problem, though, which I'll address in a
separate posting.

[flexcoders] Accessing local files
I'm working with some back-end programmers who asked the following question: We are using a data load process which will take (workspace, filename, type) arguments as inputs to the process, and we need to enable the user to select a file and submit it to the server and then trigger the load process. Can we access a local file and transmit it to a specified location on the server (i.e. c:\clients\specific client ) from within Flex? Do we need to have Flex link to a JSP page to enable this functionality? Is there a simple answer to this question? We're working on Flex 1.5 with Tomcat running on a remote server. Does Flex 2 offer any advantages in this situation? - Tom -- 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 Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

[flexcoders] Collapsable title window
I'm trying to create a collapsable TitleWindow to use as a popup.
I'm loosely basing it on Christophe Coenraets' Pod.as code, which extends
the Panel component.
The problem I'm having is with the code that actually makes the window open
and close, based on a state variable. Here's the relevant excerpt:
private var __state: Number=1; // 0=Minimized 1=Maximized
function set state(_state)
{
__state=_state;
if (_state==0) // Minimized
{
this.height=getStyle(headerHeight)+5;
sbStateDown.visible=false;
sbStateUp.visible=true;
dispatchEvent({type: minimize, target: this});
}
else
{
this.height=100%;
sbStateUp.visible=false;
sbStateDown.visible=true;
dispatchEvent({type: maximize, target: this});
}
}
function get state(): Number
{
return __state;
}
--
Everything works fine when the component is merely instantiated, but not
when it's called as a popup. In that case, the button switches correctly
but the window doesn't change open and close. Must be something with the
way this is defined in the targeting in the above code. Can anyone
suggest a solution?

to use the Canvas rollovers rather than the rollovers on the image
contained in the Canvas, which allowed the text to get in the way. All is well.

You mean flow layout?

You should also override the 'measure' method to enable the container
to correctly measure itself. The above code only does the job of
laying out (which is okay if you're always specifying a width and

RE: [flexcoders] Waterfall chart
Ely - thanks. I had already come up with a somewhat less efficient
solution, so this helps.
The Cartesian tip was helpful also - though the offset settings are a bit
cryptic at first.

Sure Tom. You've got the basics in your outline below. Basically, you
want something like:
Function genDP(original:Array):Array
{
var result:Array = [];
for(var i=0;ioriginal.length;i++) {
var v:Object = result[i]
result[i] = {
sum: v.apple + v.orange + v.banana,
apple: v.apple,
orangeMin: v.apple,
orangeMax: v.orange + v.apple,
...
}
}
return result;
}
Regarding clustering...you can't tweak the clustering behavior in
ColumnChart, but all the clustering is doing is setting the offset and
columnWidthRatio properties of the individual ColumnSeries objects to
make them line up. So if you used a CartesianChart with some
ColumnSeries in it, you could manually set the offset/columnWidthRatio
properties to whatever you wanted.

Thanks, Ely. Can you point to or provide a simple example of
dataprovider preprocessing?
If my data structure is as follows:
data
result
apple/apple
orange/orange
banana/banana
/result
...
/data
I can see that I need to perform some math on the result nodes to
create the new dataProvider:
- add a total/total node that is the sum of the apple orange and
banana values
- set the minValue for orange as the yValue of apple', and set the
yValue of orange as apple plus orange
- set the minValue for banana as the yValue of orange and set the
yValue of banana the same as total
The generating chart data example in the docs seems close, but it's
based on random values rather than manipulating a real xml source.
Another question while I'm at it: is it possible to change the spacing
for just one of four columns in a cluster? I'd like to total column to
be separated from the waterfall by a space.

I'd like to make a waterfall chart (at least that's one name for it)
- a version of the stacked bar chart. The first column is the total of
three values. The next three columns represent the three separate
values that make up the total, but instead of stacking they float
next to each other at the appropriate height and with the appropriate
color and tooltip info.
My question is - can the values in the ColumnSeries be determined using
a function - kind of like a labelFunction for charts? This would enable
me to calculate the value for the total column and the starting and

Is it possible to mix two different kinds of columns on the same chart? Specifically, a single-value column that sits next to a stacked column?

Tomcat itself is generating a 404 error relative to the .wsdl files for

Oddly, I noticed that localhost was coming up as localhost: in my

preferences for the testing server. Changing it by hand to localhost:8080
produced the same 404 error, though.
To see it in FB, you need to use the Net connection pane, but I don't
really use this myself. The tomcat log will be better.
Hmm, you might also need to set the logging level on tomcat.
Where is this done? Do I set debug=1 in the file server.xml? There are a
couple of places I can do this. Messing around with these server config

RE: [flexcoders] flexstore not working
Yes, I did that - here's the listing in flex-config.xml:
service name=FlexStoreCatalogWS
wsdl{context.root}/services/CatalogWS?wsdl/wsdl
endpoints
endpoint{context.root}/services/CatalogWS/endpoint
/endpoints
use-custom-authenticationtrue/use-custom-authentication
/service
By the way, none of the other services defined in the whitelies - such as
the DataModel example - are working now either.
Any other ideas?

Just trying to bump this problem up - still looking for a solution.
I've tried a bunch of different combinations to make the onSoundComplete

repurposed from Flash - make no mention of the scoping issue. Anyone have
suggestions or a hello world level example?

Re: [flexcoders] sound problem: onSoundComplete
Hey - thanks Jeff and Jester. Another difference between Jeff's code and mine is that his uses the delegate to play the sound as well as to call the onSoundComplete method. I was curious why snd.start() was called twice. I removed the snd.start() call in the startSound() function and it worked - but the sound would not repeat (I added a button to repeatedly play the sound, instead of making it an initialization event). Adding the snd.start() back in allowed repeating. Not sure why this is the case. Also curious what performance difference - if any - there is between embedded and non-embedded sounds. I was able to get it to work both ways. Thanks again. - Tom At 03:55 PM 7/28/2005, you wrote: As I say, not entirely sure why mine works when the original doesnt, but it works, which is good enough for now.

[flexcoders] attachSound vs. loadSound (was: onSoundComplete)
At 05:13 PM 7/28/2005, you wrote: attachSound I reckon has less overhead because the sound and header are already embedded in the SWF. Additionally, attachSound is a syncronous opertion, where as loadSound, both streaming and non, is asyncronous. attachSound requires a sound asset be embeded in your SWF, increasing compile time, final SWF size, and loading overhead. As such, the sound is immediaetly available first frame. My application will have a large number (200+) of very short sounds, which will need to be able to be played one at a time when needed. Will this work with attachSound without performance problems? Seems that attachSound only embeds one sound at a time, or am I misunderstanding this? Synchronization with visual events could be an issue as well. In reference to synchronization with loadSound, you refer to having code to handle that for me - can you be more specific? - Tom -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] embedded sounds
I'm trying to embed a number of mp3 sounds and play them back in various ways.
The first way is to select the sound names from a comboBox. It's not working.
So, for an embedded sound defined as:
[Embed('beki1A.mp3')]
var beki1A:String;
I've defined the following function;
var snd:Sound;
function startSound(currentSound)
{
snd = new Sound;
snd.attachSound(currentSound);
snd.start();
}
If I call this function with a button click, like this:
mx:Button label=Start id=b1 click=startSound(beki1A); /
it works fine.
If I pass the value of currentSound from a comboBox, with the following
function specified as the change event of the comboBox:
function playSong()
{
var currentSound= songComboBox.selectedItem.label;
startSound(currentSound);
}
it does not work.
When I trace the value of beki1A in the buttonclick version, it has a
resource prefix - and this appears to be lost when it's assigned to
another variable via the comboBox. Or is it something even simpler?
Where am I going wrong?

Basically when you do a
startSound(beki1A);- beki1A is = to something like
__Resources.1387713460.beki1A_mp3
So your combo box would have to contain whatever the value of the name of
the variable that your songComboBox.selectedItem.value is equal to. In CF
you'd use the Evaluate function to do that,
I did a little hacking and found that this did the job:
function playSong()
{
var currentSound= songComboBox.selectedItem.label;
var playThis = eval(currentSound);
startSound(playThis);
}
Full working example attached (except for mp3s).

If I pass the value of currentSound from a comboBox, with the following
function specified as the change event of the comboBox:
function playSong()
{
var currentSound= songComboBox.selectedItem.label;
startSound(currentSound);
}
it does not work.
When I trace the value of beki1A in the buttonclick version, it has a
resource prefix - and this appears to be lost when it's assigned to
another variable via the comboBox. Or is it something even simpler?
Where am I going wrong?

[flexcoders] linkbar selected color
I'm trying to have the links in a linkbar change color when they're selected and remain that color until another link is selected. Setting selectedFillColors doesn't seem to work.

[flexcoders] select/deselect child panels
I'm trying to find a way to quickly select and deselect panels that are children of an hbox container. When a panel is selected I'd like to highlight it in a simple way, such as changing its background color. If another panel is clicked on, the previously selected panel's background is changed back to normal. I've tried several approaches that involve looping through all the child panels on the selection click to set a selectedPanel variable at the root level. Very slow. There's gotta be a simpler, more elegant way to do this. Any suggestions or code samples? - Tom Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] mousedown scope
Thanks Manish. I sidestepped the issue by limiting the top-level mousedown so it doesn't conflict with the subcomponent mousedown. That solved my immediate problem. So - I didn't have a change to try setting event.bubbles to false. - Tom At 10:02 AM 5/27/2005, you wrote: On 5/27/05, Tom Fitzpatrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Right now, clicking the subcomponent also selects the Panel.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm store - still trying
Still trying to get the cairngorm store products to show up. I thought I had done everything right - but there are several errors in the docs and I had to do some guessing, plus working with hints from Steven and Alex from iteration2. On startup, I'm getting a couple of warnings from the server: - log4j: WARN No appenders could be found for logger - log4j: WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly And, when I access the app, the server throws this error: Error: java.sql.SQLException: User not found: CAIRNGORMSTORE To make things easier, here's my current relevant directory structure: C: \servers db file: catalog.lck file: catalog.log file: catalog.properties file: catalog.script jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25 ... db file: catalog.properties file: catalog.script webapps cairngormstore assets data META-INF org tests WEB-INF classes conf file: log4j.properties file: store.cfg org nevis... flex file: cairngorm-manifest.xml file: flex-config.xml user_classes file: cairngorm.swc file: FlexUnit.swc lib files: jar files The db folder at the top level appears to be created automatically.

Firstly, you must copy the Cairngorm core API files to the web application on the server. You must copy: bin/cairngorm.swc to WEBAPP_DIR/cairngormlogin/WEB-INF/flex/user_classes/ bin/cairngorm-manifest.xml to WEBAPP_DIR/cairngormlogin/WEB-INF/flex These should read cairngormstore shouldn't they? In the next instruction, it's not clear whether store.cfg and log4j.properties should be copied to the classes folder, or whether they should still sit in a conf directory within the classes folder. I assumed the latter was the case. Similarly, it wasn't clear at first that catalog.properties and catalog.script should be in a new db folder - but since receiving your instructions I know that's the case. Next, the locations for the jar files is specified as: WEBAPP_DIR/WEB-INF/lib I believe that should be: WEBAPP_DIR/cairngormstore/WEB-INF/lib - Tom Yahoo!

But - for the sake of others who might be confused - the odd thing is that I didn't create that db folder, it was created automatically (one level higher) after I had created a db folder, with the script file in it, at the level indicated in the docs and in Alex's email. Then, when I moved the script file to that newly created folder, the product images showed up. I am still getting the log4j error messages - I take it I can safely ignore them.

[flexcoders] mousedown scope
I have a custom component, based on the Panel component, that can be selected with a mousedown. The component contains subcomponents that also have mousedowns with different behaviors. Is it possible to disassociate the two? Right now, clicking the subcomponent also selects the Panel. I'd like to be able to click the subcomponent without selecting the Panel - sort of a problem of eliminating the bubble-down, I guess. Is this possible?

I moved the db folder and its contents up a level to the location you describe (the same level as webapps): jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25 db Now, when I restarted tomcat, a new db directory was created above jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25. Inside that directory are the catalog.lck and catalog.log files you refer to below, as well as a copy of the catalog.properties file. I'm still getting the products can't be retrieved message. Hmm. In case you did that: We're using HSQLDB in in-process mode, so it initialises when you start your app server. Have you restarted Tomcat? When you restart Tomcat, HSQLDB should by default create catalog.lck and catalog.log files in the db directory. - Tom Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Select and highlight child panel
In a vbox, I have a group of child panels created dynamically with a repeater. What code should I use on the mousedown to allow a user to select any one of the panels, and what property do I change to highlight the selected panel?

RE: [flexcoders] binding error - from Flex?
Tracy - thanks for the suggestion. My problem is that I'm not really changing anything, just making a copy of the whole app folder, renaming it, and trying to compile it again from the new folder - so I don't really know where to put the extra code. I'm ready to try the file deletion suggestion, but need more info. I'm running Flex locally using Tomcat, so I have generated files in my local project folder and in my local server folder. Which ones do I delete? Both? Do I leave the libs folders alone? And - most important - is there any danger in doing this or any precautions I should take? - Tom At 09:47 PM 4/25/2005, you wrote: Ignore the message, add some code, and run the app again. I have also hit a situation where this did not work until I had deleted the files out of the ...web-inf\flex\generated folder, then compiled it again. But usually, 10-15 more lines of code gets me over the hump. If you believe you app is as refactored as is reasonable, give this a try. Yahoo!
