[flexcoders] Re: Passing data providers to drop-in item editors/renderers
Does anyone know how to do this? I'm really confused on this one, and I
honestly need some help. I resorted to using a static variable to get the
data to where it needs to be, but I just can't make it work. Here's some
more info.
I'm creating an editable DataGrid for the purpose of associating Interest
objects with a User object. The Interest object has a realm property which
references the id of a Realm object which I've created. I need to basically
create these Interest objects on what the user has input in each DataGrid
row. As one of my editors, I need a ComboBox which will reference the Realm
objects and use each Realm's name property for a label, and each Realm's
id property for a data field, because I ultimately need to pull that info
into Interest objects which use a Realm's id property as their own realm
properties.
Basically, I just need to supply a list of Realm objects to my itemeditor
ComboBox. This is seeming pretty impossible to me at the moment,
unfortunately.

Re: [flexcoders] Tons of errors using FlexBuilder on Ubuntu
Yeah, I know that it has code completion. Have you used JDT? JDT has *code completion*. Flex Builder (on Windows, Mac, and Linux) pales in comparison to the refactoring, auto complete, code suggest, being able to view code documentation live via JavaDoc (SO HELPFUL!), and code completion of JDT in Eclipse. While even JDT can be improved, it's pretty much amazing. If Flex Builder could adapt itself to model after the power features of JDT, it'd be a much more valuable buy in my mind. I mean, Flex Builder is built and owned by Adobe, and yet another project, FDT, features much richer support for ActionScript 3 than Flex Builder does! FDT is rad, but they're still kind of working on MXML support. All I'm saying is that we as developers need a really hardcore development platform that will make our lives easier. FDT does that for ActionScript in so many ways. Flex Builder does it for Design View, but that's basically it.

You can access the instance members of your surrounding document using a

outerDocument allows you to access any special data or functions you've
defined outside the mx:Component. It works nicely when you need to inject
data/behavior that is not associated with the data field from the model.
Remember itemRenders/editors are unique per row so there's no way to inject
data into them since you're not in control of constructing them. This is
the only way I've found around this little snafu.
If you don't use inline components you can always wrap your custom
component inside an inline and pass data form the outerDocument in as
properties to your custom component thus keeping the code nice and straight
forward. No tricky code.

We should have the ability to filter (call event.preventDefault() or equivalent) in the keyDownHandler() function. This allows to avoid the stupid hack of working around DELETE, BACKSPACE and keyboard navigation keys not being cancelable. 2) More control over copy/paste to clipboard. I recently posted an issue where if you set the htmlText property, copy to the clipboard loses all line breaks (unless I explicitly use br/). Ideally, there'd be an event or protected overridable function that indicates we're trying to do a copy/paste. 3) Ability to represent custom HTML tags or custom HTML attributes in a standard tag. I tried to store some metadata inside a FONT tag using a custom attribute, but I found that when I set the htmlText, and then examined the htmlText property after the set, the whole markup had been altered and normalized, losing my custom attributes. It would be nice if this normalization did not occur. 4) Better support for caret to coordinates functions. There is a getCharBoundaries() function, but that returns a rectangle in virtual coordinates that does not account for the scroll positions. Adjusting for the horizontal scroll position is fairly easy because that is measured in pixels, but the vertical scroll position is measured in lines and calculating the correct viewport position is non-trivial and expensive (there are some posts on how to do this). Not to mention the fact that getCharBoundaries() returns null if the char is at EOL or in an empty line. This support is incomplete. Just adding a function like getCoordinatesAtCharIndex(charIndex:int):Point would help, or something similar to that. 5) A function get get the caret Index within the htmlText would also be useful, or more generally, getCharIndexInHtmlText (charIndex:int):int where charIndex is the character index in the raw text property.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Problem with Flex form
Under HTTPService in LiveDocs:
Due to a software limitation, HTTPService does not generate user-friendly
error messages when using GET.
Could that be your problem?

Did you try the form itself? I guess I didn't show the link. It is
here: http://futurewavedesigns.com/ContactUs/ContactForm.html
When I enter information into the form, I get no response after I hit
Submit. Can you try that page and see what happens for you? Unless
you tried it already but I didn't list the page.
I think it is fixed. It seems to work fine now. I just need to add
some validation. I have this in my php form mailer:
$OK = mail ($mail_to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($OK)
{
echo 'sent=OK';
}
else
{
echo 'sent=ERROR';
}
I don't know how to make it not send the message and set an error. If
that does happen, my Flex code checks for event.result=ERROR which I
don't think is going to work with the php code I just listed. I hope
someone here reading this knows some about php so that I can figure
out what to do to change the code so that it gives the user a message
if the email was not sent. I tried something that wasn't working
which is this:
else
{
die(failed);
}
That failed to cause any response at all from the form.

It works for me although it does display the alert twice - once for
the eventListener you add in sendMyData and once for the result
handler in the HTTPService tag.
In your result handler you should be checking the response you get
back from the server and display an alert accordingly.
One thing that will probably help you out a lot is to get an HTTP
debugging proxy like Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com/). I use it
every day.

Hello all,
I have been unable to figure out why something simple is not
happening in a form of mine. I have a form that does successfully
take the user input and email it to us. However, for some reason, the
Alert button that should give the user feedback is not working. It
just hangs there when the user clicks on the submit button.
I will need to share the code to get help with this. It is
very basic and it does send the email message. I'll trim off
extraneous appearance code that is not related to the actual logic of
the form.
So, we have the main application that has a Panel that calls the
ContactFormComp (for ContactFormComponent)(leaving off the Application
tag, of course:
mx:Panel title=Contact Future Wave Designs
forms:ContactFormComp id=MyContactForm/
/mx:Panel
So, now we have the form component - this will be a bit longer, though
still rather simple, but I don't know why it doesn't call the Alert
function:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Form xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;

obj.Name = Name.text;
obj.email = email.text;
obj.phone = phone.text;
obj.message = message.text;
myContactService.send(obj);
myContactService.resultFormat = text;
myContactService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, resultHandler);
myContactService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, fault_handler);
}
private function resetForm(event:MouseEvent):void
{
Name.text = ;
email.text = ;
phone.text = ;
message.text = ;
}
private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
Alert.show(Thank you! Your message has been emailed, Thank
you!);
}
private function fault_handler():void
{
Alert.show(There was a problem., Problem Encountered);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:HTTPService id=myContactService

[flexcoders] New to ItemRenderers
I'm trying to create a simple List-based application to try and learn more
about ItemRenderers. How do I make my ItemRenderer automatically size to fit
whatever is inside of it? Right now I've got this as my ItemRenderer:
mx:VBox
mx:Text text={data.label} width=100%/
/mx:VBox
I'm not necessarily going to know the amount of text loaded into a list item
until runtime. It seems that my list component is confining each of its
items to a certain fixed height. Can I change this?

Re: [flexcoders] load fla file into web UI then edit image inside it
Well, first you need to implement some backend programming which will read a FLA file. You can try opening an FLA file with Notepad or maybe as a ZIP Archive... I'm not sure which format the FLA type follows, if it even has a format. Once you 'get in' to the FLA file's contents, you'll have to find the one you're looking for. After that, you should save it to a file on your server. Once that's done, send a value to your Flex client containing a link to the image file/the text. Edit the text, send it back and have middleware do the saving into the FLA file. Edit the Image, save it as an image with middleware to your server, then have your middleware insert the edited image into the FLA file. Creating a remote Flash IDE is a pretty ambitious task. I'm interested in what you discover, if you find anything cool, do post back!
