Re: [flexcoders] Login / Password Form
I made something like that where I use Flex to develop my UI and store the login info in XML file on the server. To read and write data to that xml file I use server side language PHP though amfPHP , Encryption can be done using action script library as3crypto but in my project we use JavaScript and PHp for encrytping these credentials on the wire (through the network). Hope that might help you Anuj On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 12:17 PM, Alan K ultr...@gmail.com wrote: No, you can use a PHP file, for example, to hold and check against. Hello, I am searching a code source exemple for a classical login / password form in a flex application. Did I need absolutely a database to store Passwords ? Thank you, Christophe,
Re: [flexcoders] Guidance Needed about the organization of flex project and MXML Componenets
Hi Haykel Thanks for the info, This might help to get started for the reorganization Anuj On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 11:35 PM, Haykel BEN JEMIA hayke...@gmail.comwrote: ViewStacks, like most containers, uses deferred instantiation (if the creationPolicy property is set to 'auto', which is the default), which means it only creates the descendants of a child when it's selected the first time. So for startup optimization, I think it's ok to use ViewStacks. Now you could probably use modules to further reduce swf size, but this would also mean that the user will have to wait longer when a page is selected until the module is downloaded. But it's ok if the modules are small.

Thats the bigger picture what the project needs to do. The way this project was organized that the developer created the login component , and other custom MXML Component and put them in different canvases and then put login in one ViewStack and the other MXML Componenets in another stack, By default on the load of the application, ViewStack with login Canvas is set to true and if user enter right password then the visibility of other stack having different custom components are set to true and login was set to false. The ToggleButtonBar was used whose data provider is second view stack having 3 other custom MXML component, and depending upon the button of the toggle bar selected the components are being loaded. All the viewstacks with the canvases are being loaded on the main app on the load of the application. I am not sure thats the right way.* In ideal world I like whenever user loads the page, only the login page will be loaded and once the correct credentials are entered, only the default MXML Component will be added with the ToggleButtonBar's default selection, I have to reorganize the structure of the project, I was thinking of adding and removing child depending upon the tab changed,* Is there any better way to organize this project, Ideally I like to refresh the page while loading different MXML components on the tab selection so that we might get the component totally in synchronization with the server, Anyone has nice and better way of organizing Project without setting the visibility true and false and also fulfilling my requirement.

Subject: [flexcoders] Need some Help in implementing Log out functionality
Hi
I have implemented Log Out functionality in my App, All I did is that
as soon as user clicks Log Out button, the code is going to reload the
whole App which will automatically take the user to the login screen
as login is the first screen in my flex App. Now My probelm is that I
need some feedback to give to the user that he has been logged out. I
am successfully in taking user to the login page but somehow could not
figure out how will I show the feedback, The idea i came up is may be
add string to the URL if user logs out and if the URL string matches
the added string should display a label in the main login page showing
You have successfully logged out, but my following code is not
working. Is there any better way to do this or please let me know
where things are being screwed up, For the time being I just put dummy
alerts but they will be replaced with the actual Labels.
All i need is the first time user logs in should just display the
login screen but if user logs out he should be directed to the same
login screen but with added label You have succesfully logged out
Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Need some Help in implementing Log out functionality
Okay I Like it to reload the app but the main login screen of the app should
have the label which is going to say that you have been logged out, that as
what I was trying to achieve but Now
what i did is the moment user clicks log out , I start the timer and pop up
message logging out and after delay of 3 second user will be directed to the
main login page, Ideally I like if user hits logout , after delay he will be
taken to login page (which means reloading the whole App) but the login page
should be able to provide the info that user is successfully logged out,
I hope I made sense but if not please let me know

Re: [flexcoders] How would I Overwrite contents of External XML File
HI Brendon
Sounds good to me, And my teamate is working on the encryption part, he
thinks that encryption of the password needs to be done through Javascript
and if thats the case I need to see how my Flex code needs to talk to
JavaScript, i guess using exteralInterface might help me, So do you think
JavaScript is good option for taking care of encryption (on the wire) for
the password or we should try some other technology. I am doubtful that if
Flex can take care of encryption of the password.
Any feedback regardign how to encrypt migh help too,

Anuj,
I think there is something wrong with this structure. Why make it into for
loop?
The _addToAssociatedDevicesArr is received the same value
for(var i:*=0;i_addDevicesLen-1;i++)
{
_addToAssociatedDevicesArr=nvrsInPoolList.selectedItems;
}
The last loop has the same problem. The index variable t is never used.
Why it is in for loop?
for(var t:*=0;t_addToAssociatedDevicesArr.length;t++)
{
if(nvrsInPoolList!=null)
{
IList(nvrsInPoolList.dataProvider).removeItemAt(nvrsInPoolList.selectedIndex);

About the problem you complain
I think one of this variable is null value:
camerasInPoolList
arrAddToPool
arrRemoveFromPool

Hi All
Guys This is regarding the problem I had few days back. I made
filtering of the List partially working for my app after taking some
help from this group, but I realize a bug in my program. I am making
rest calls to load data in form of XML in List. I need to apply filter
on this list. Depending upon the text entered in the text box , the
list should filter. Now my problem is that the filter is working if
user types the id of my XML node, however I want my code to go through
all the XML file and checks if the entered text matches the attribute
named friendly name and will filter depending upon the friendly name.
Please help me out, Below is the code and I would appreciate if
someone gives me right direction to make it completely working, Please
let me know also if the code is not documented correctly to make it
more sense

Hi All
This is somehow regarding the question I have asked few weeks back.
Unfortunately I have to stop this task at that time and now need to
work on that. My need is that I have some entries in the List as an
arrayCollection and there is text input box and I like to have list to
filter the data as soon as user starts typing text. I have attached
the so far developed code. I need as soon as user types On, the list
below should only show first entry which is 'One-Device'. I attached
the code but it is not working as I want. This is going to be just my
dummy working prototype and once this module has been made working
then i am going to merge this module into my Main Project.
Also if anyone has any better idea about how to figure this thing out
that will be great and instead of arrayColection if we can achieve the
same function laity that would be helpful too.
Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot, That works perfectly for my arrayCollection. Now I already
have a project in which the data provider for my List is Array and I need
the same filter functionality for the Array. can we do this filter for Array
too or do i have to change the code of my project and instead of array I

made that filter working. It's just lot of work to change the existing
workign code with my harsh deadline.

Never bind to array, and also when you call array.filter() it will make
a duplicate Array, things you change there won't get changed in your source
(depending on references etc). You don't need to totally change your code,
just create a new ArrayCollection using your existing array as the source.
Whenever you add or delete items using the ArrayCollection, it will update
the Array for you, and when you set a filter on ArrayCollection it only
updates when it needs to, it's pretty smart. Then you just bind to the
ArrayCollection instead of the Array for the dataProvider of your List or
DataGrid or whatever.

Re: [flexcoders] Is there any Name -Value Pair concept for Arrays?
Hi Tracy
Finally I would be able to retrieve labels but sorry I used labelFunction
because for some reason labelfield is breaking other programmer's code: I
have no idea why.
So Below is my code. But Now I am doing some logical error. I am getting all
the values in an array but it gives all the entries in all the whole list.
For example if there are 10 values named friendly name I need the list to
show
Value 1
Value 2
Value 3
.
.
.
.
Value10 as 10 entries in the list but with my code it is showing
Value1,Value2Value10 10times in 10 rows with 10 entries in each row 10
times . I guess I am messing up in the logic. Can you please help me to fix
this problem.
Thanks alot for all your help

Yes I have attached code to tell you exactly how I am doing this. I am
assigning an Array to my dataProvider and my array consists of XML Nodes. I
hope I answer all of your questions. I am putting array of XML Nodes as

Are you using the work array in its purely technical sense, or in a more

If it is an Array, what is it an array of? (dynamic objects, scalar values,
xml nodes?)
What is your resultFormat?

In your labelfunction logic, you are not using any values from the passed
in row item. That does not make any sense. The purpose of a
labelFunction is to use the row item properties to build a string to
display. Look at that logic again.

Hi Tracy
Finally I would be able to retrieve labels but sorry I used labelFunction
because for some reason labelfield is breaking other programmer's code: I
have no idea why.
So Below is my code. But Now I am doing some logical error. I am getting
all the values in an array but it gives all the entries in all the whole
list. For example if there are 10 values named friendly name I need the list
to show
Value 1
Value 2
Value 3
.
.
.
.
Value10 as 10 entries in the list but with my code it is showing
Value1,Value2Value10 10times in 10 rows with 10 entries in each row 10
times . I guess I am messing up in the logic. Can you please help me to fix
this problem.

Hi All
I am retrieving some data using HTTP from PostGres database. I would
be successfully able to put all the entries in UDN's in the list box
(using REST Calls). Now my requirement is that I need to display an
attribute name Friendly name which is already in the database as the
label (VISUAL entry ) in the list but when user performs different
operations like drag and drop, I need the complete string in form XML
to be send. So to make long story short I need to display friendly
name as list entries but behind the curtain that label have exact
complete value coming from the Database. Now is there any way that I
can tell my data provider (which is an Array in my case) that to
display just the specific attribute for the database and while doing
operation send the whole value.
Any links, examples and help will be appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] How to send data as XML (data is loaded through HTTP in List Box)
Hi Tracy
I agree, I just fixed this problem 5 minutes ago. Actually problem was I
stores everything in XML List but I was passing an array containing label as
the data Provider which was just for the visual perspective, so for sending
data I need to grab the XML List's nodes associated with the particular
entry of the array and i did that. So Now my problem is solved. I apologize
for the inconvenience. Sometimes it happened with me that the moment I put
the post on the list , and within little time i just figured out. Please do
not mind that.
Thanks a lot for your help.

built-in d/d functionality expects the same types in source and target and

item as the first.
We need more code/detail.

Hi All
I use HTTP service to load data in List Box. I pasted code below, Now
I need to allow drag and drop operation which I am successfully able
to do that. However once items are dropped in second list , I need to
wrap up the data as XML and send it to server , I guess i will use
'POST' method for that. Now root of my problem is when I am dragging
and dropping items from one list to another, it is dropping just the
label of the entries in form of string(XML List) but not the full XML
node. From visual perspective it looks fine but what I need is to send
data as an XML simply as simply sending the string would not process
the necessary update to the database. Can anybody help me in getting
hold of data in my list as XML but not as simple strings. Any help
will be appreciated.

Has anyone else seen this, or know why it might be happening?
These errors don't occur if the CSS are within the Style tag in the main

My question to you genius guys is that is it possible in Flex 3.0/AS 3.0 or should i go through some other language. I read somewhere that it can be done using AJAX but I like to achieve this functionality using Flex. Please let me know if this is doable , any help/links will also be appreciated. Thanks Anuj Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but the autocomplete manager component in the yahoo library is pretty good at this behavior. http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/astra-flash/ Charlie Actually you probably want the flex components http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/astra-flex/. My apologies. Charlie
Re: [flexcoders] Security Sandbox Violation message
When I got this error in my app I set Security.allowDomain(*); I am not sure that's the right way of doing stuff but that did take care of my run time error and make my app up and running.

I googled it and came up with a listing where it said that if I was seeing it in Firefox browser to try it in IE browser. I did that and did not get the message when using IE. Note, this only happens when debugging an application. The thing is that what I was reading suggested that the problem could be that I don't have the plug-in for the Flash Player debugger version.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Setting cursor to particular text box on the application load
Thanks Jim
It is surprising that Flex does not provide that i built functionality.
Anyways I will try to implement JavaScript way.

In order for this to work, your application _as a whole_ needs to do
two things. One of them is (in Flex) to use the setFocus() method to
specify where (in the Flex applications) focus should go. From your
posting it appears that you have already done this.
The other thing is that the _entire Flex application itself_ needs to
first get focus. This is not done in Flex, it needs to be done in the
'HTML Wrapper' page which loads the Flex application. Please locate
your Flex project's index.template.html file and open it for
editing. Then add JavaScript code which will cause the Flex
application to receive focus when the HTML page is loaded. The
simplest way to do this is to add an inline event handler to the
page's BODY element. For example, if the HTML Wrapper page is being
viewed in the IE v7 Web browser, then the following code should work:
body scroll=no onLoad=window.document.${application}.focus();
Please note that the behavior might be slightly different in other
browsers (i.e., FireFox, Safari, etc.) and you may have to tweak the
JavaScript code to achieve a robust solution.

Jim

Is it possible to set the cursor to the text input while your app

Now my requirement is as soon as user clicks on a 'Add Button' , my code should put all the entries in list B in an array.

Re: [flexcoders] drag and drop from Tree to List
Hi
I am not sure I get that but in general if you drag and drop from lets' say
'A' to B' ,I have used to drag and drop both ways from one list to another
and I did is as follows
A.dragMoveEnabled=true;
A.dragEnabled=true;
A.dropEnabled=true;
B.dragMoveEnabled=true;
B.dragEnabled=true;
B.dropEnabled=true;
Thats worked in my case , i was moving entries though. Hope that helps

I have a tree and a list that I'd like to use drag and drop on to do the

1. Do reordering in the list (ie move the items around)
2. Drag items from the tree to the list in order to copy items
The problem I'm experiencing is that when I turn on dropEnabled=true
on the list the reordering of the list works fine however it stops
allowing the tree to drop items on the list even if I explicitly set a
drag enter function list this
public function onDragEnter( event:DragEvent ) : void {
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(List(event.currentTarget));
}
Re: [flexcoders] Casting Problem Dragging from one list and Dropping into another
That's interesting because I am using the same code for both the lists, for
both the lists I am enabling dragmove enabled property true. In short they
all have the same property defined, so technically they should work but
that's my surprise that they work one way and i cannot drop back.
I have no idea Tracy.
Please let me know if you have any.
Also if it helps should should i change my approach of drag and drop because
as far as i know you can do drag and drop multiple ways, either directly
defining source and destination or using all function drag enter , drag exit
and drag complete.
Pls let me know if you have any altenative.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Is it possible to increase the heigth and width of scroll bars in any container?
Alright guys.
I have downloaded 2 dummy png files from internet (Left_arrow.PNG
Right_arrow.PNG) just to test if technique works . Belw is the css code
which i am calling in HScroll Bar for HBOX and attached is the image of how
it is looking . The images used are very big but it is not showing its
actual size for the arrows and it is shrinking the images to take the size
of the arrows in the scroll bar whereas my requirement is the other way.
Basically i need to create image of my own size and i need the arrows of the
scroll bar to take the size of that image. This is the first time i am
doing something like this. Please let me know which link i am missing to
make arrows of the scroller of my custom size, look and feel.

of
scroll bars in any container?
Hi Guys
I have a general question. In general any scroll bar in
container(either VBOX or HBOX etc)is (by default)16 pixels wide. Is it
possible to change the width and height of any scroll bar for in built
containers. Also for styling those scroll bars and scroll er within
the container do i have to use CSS or there is any other way too.(By
styling i mean if I can give my own look and feel and color to the
scroll bars in containers).
Reply will be appreciated.
Thanks guys

Hi Tim
In the trackSkin as shown by your code, you are embedding some png files.Do
i have to embed files too and also what's the content of that file. Deos
that file have just the rectangle showing my desired width and height
because when i am trying to put the simple 'width' tag within the trackSkin,
Flex builder is not letting me do that. So i am not sure how should i use
trackSkin for my purpose.
You have send me the code which helps me but I am not sure what's the output
of the code looks like (and which type of PNG files are you using). Can you
please send me the snapshot/sketch of the UI being generated with the code.
Sorry for being pain but its taking little time for me to understand the
styling and skinning concept of the HBox.
I appreciate your patience
Thanks a lot

Re: [flexcoders] Need Help and Guidance desperately
Dough I forgot to mention that i am not sure if i can force the components into either rows or columns because I am allowing free flow of the image within the container too which means that the user should be able to resize the image and should be able to drag and drop the image too whereever he wants within the container. i used drag manager for that. i thought should made it clear.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Need Help and Guidance desperately
Hi All Thanks for the reply. Here are couple of things i should have mentioned earlier to you guys. I have to allow user to resize the images, that's where complexity came. For resizing of images, I am using the following container for holding the images http://www.rogue-development.com/objectHandles.html I am trying to achieve something like this http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/DragTile/DragDrop.html but letting user drag images from the bottom container (in this example's case VBOX) to the main container and also allowing then to resize the images in the main container. If i am not allowing user to resize the image in the main container, then this project is already done but the real estate occupied by the images vary with the resizing option. The user drag and drop or can also double click on the image to open in the main container. In all the cases the image should be dropped in the empty space of the main container. The main container allows the user to grab the image from any of the four corner(like the component in the first link) and resize up to some size and the rest of the images adjust accordingly to let the resized image get accommodated in the main container(something like in the second link except in that link user can't resize the image). Sorry for being so complex but that's the project's requirement. In short this project is like image gallery,the user can drag and drop or double click on images to open them in the main container . They can also resize the images in the main container and the rest of the images should move (with transition) to let resized or newly created images to get accommodated. Please let me know if that helps and I will appreciate any more help in this matter Thanks a lot.

For another, you can't just let the TileList size and flow the things that are being dragged into it, since it has a default number of rows and columns, and without dipping your fingers into the layout code or knowing in advance the size and number of the items, you don't know how many rows and columns to even tell the TileList to use so as not to allocate too much vertical or horizontal space (not as much of a problem for this application, but a real pain for what I've used it for).

Re: [flexcoders] Need Help and Guidance desperately
Hi Doug How would i embed that open source (FloxBox) container in my project.I could not find the source code for that container. Please let me know Thanks Anuj On Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 10:04 PM, Doug McCune [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think you might be asking the wrong question. You asked how to know if the area that the user dropped an item was the empty space or the space taken up by other items in the container. But then you want all the items in the container to resize to become smaller to accomodate more items in the container if the user drops too many. Why not just let the user drop items anywhere in the container and just add them to the container? Then all you have to do is create a container that scales the children to make sure that they always fit within the bounds. If you force the children to always be the same width then this should be really easy to figure out what scaling you should apply to the children. If not then you'll have to do more complex measurement. I'd suggest starting with teh flowbox container in FlexLib (flexlib.net), and if that doesn't suit your needs then either extend that or try using the Tile container. It doesn't sound like you want to use a list control (ie TileList) because you always want all the children visible, so you never want the list to scroll, and therefore you don't benefit from itemrenderers, so using a list will just complicate things unneccesarily.

You can either use the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3, or you simply place the Flash component on the stage, export your SWC, place it in your /lib folder, and access the relevant fl.* classes in your flex project. Peter DeHaan has a good post on using the Flex Component Kit: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/09/02/installing-the-flex-component-kit-for-flash-cs3/ If you're having problems getting SWC files to work at all, you should probably brush up library usage in Flex. If you're having problems using some of the SWC files that contain the core Flash classes in the application directory, they won't work, for various reasons. You have to use the Flash compiler to include what classes you need in your SWC, and then use that in Flex. You also could try some of the articles up on Adobe Dev Connection: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/skins_styles.html http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/features/video/glenn_ruehle/ http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/video_flex.html http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flex_component_workflow_print.html I'm also writing a tutorial series on Community MX about integrating Flash and Flex together http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=AEF3D, some of which you may also find useful as the series unfolds.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Importing SWC Files in FLEX
Hi John Danny Thanks for your help. Problem has been solved , there were some missing libraries in my Flex compiler. I uninstalled the complete package and re-installed it, and I can access SWC files using my code now. Appreciate your help Anuj On Sun, May 25, 2008 at 4:19 AM, John McCormack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Anuj, //An internal build error has occurred. Right-click for more information. I had difficulty in understanding exactly what was needed to use Flash assets and had similar errors. It doesn't help when the documentation varies so much on what to do. Unfortunately the Adobe PDF's have no publishing date written inside and so you often get information from out-of-date ones. I am able to use Flash Assets but my projects are all ActionScript projects rather than Flex projects. As a result I do not have to turn the asset into a Flex component by making it an extension of the UIMovieClip class. For example, on the stage I have a red dot with a radial gradient. I make it into a symbol and it goes in the library. It has to be either a button or MovieClip. Say I call it RedDot. I can delete the one on the stage. When I publish I make sure the SWC box is ticked in the publish settings. In Flex Builder 3 I right click the project, go to build options and add the swc. If I then type var rd:, suddenly RedDot is on the list of types I select it and hit return. So I finish up with var rd:RedDot = new RedDot and I can addChild(rd) and that's it. With Flex projects the only difference is that Flex needs to give the mxml compiler access to RedDot. It does this by agreeing an interface to it - this is just a set of agreed functions/methods that both sides agree on. This is the UIMovieClip - UserInterfaceToMovieClip (probably). So in Flash my RedDot has to extend UIMovieClip. If you have already done this, right-click the symbol in the library and check the properties to see this. If not, select the symbol and go to the Commands menu in Flash and choose Convert symbol to Flex component. This has three consequences, which you can just do manually yourself: 1. The fps is set to 24. 2. The Base Class is set to mx.flash.UIMovieClip. 3. The FlexComponentBase is added to the library. Note: I have just checked and found that the library symbol must have export for actionscript ticked *before* you Convert it, otherwise it doesn't do it. Now you can either right-click the symbol and export the swc, or publish and produce the swc. I have a swf with five symbols in it and when published my swc has five symbols in which I can use in Flex. I suggest you draw the simplest graphic, turn it into a MovieClip symbol for the library. Make sure export for actionscript is set in the library symbol. Select it and Convert to a Flex Component. Check the properties for the UIMovieClip class. Publish with SWC ticked. Import it, and it should be available. You don't need to write a class to go with it since Flash produces its own cutdown class for it when ti doesn't find one. I got the above error when I followed various guidelines and tried to do something more complicated. Fingers crossed for you! John
Re: [flexcoders] Importing SWC Files in FLEX
Hi Guys I am just wondering if I am doing something wrong here. Iam a new member of this list and to the world of Flex and in the past i posted lots of requests for helping me out but i did not get any reply at all. I am also the member of Flash Coders list. I am just wondering if this list is receiving my e-mails or not. I would appreciate if someone will reply me, at least as a confirmation that Flex coders are receiving my e-mails. Thanks a lot for understanding this. i appreciate that.

I googled it and found lot of samples but in my case whenever i gave Library path, the swc file is not showing in my project' lib directory and when i manually move swc file it shows unknown icon on the file. Does anyone has any idea what's going on. Please help me out. All i need is to create few symobls/movies in CS3 and want to use them in my Flex Project Thanks Anuj
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Importing SWC Files in FLEX
Hi Danny Thanks for the reply. That's the confirmation that the list is receiving my emails :-). Danny I imported swc and I can see that component in the custom component folder and I can drag to drop in the design view. However When i compile my application that component is not visible in the browser and sometimes it gives compiler error An internal build error has occurred. Right-click for more information. I am not sure what's going on . It should be very simple to import flash shapes and components in Flex but I am new to Flex world which might be causing such naive errors. Please let me know if you find the solution. I need to look at SWC file in the Browser while executing the application. By googling , some folks recommended to check the library path and some say try to compile the application using command line. Few folks have just reinstall the whole builder too. Please let me know if you have found any missing link. Again I appreciate your help Thanks Anuj On Fri, May 23, 2008 at 12:02 PM, Danny Venier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Anuj, You can try Import/FlexBuilder/Artwork and point to a swf or swc? Or….you can add a swc to your project by adding the swc to your project properties build path. (use project/properties/FlexBuild Path and open the Library path tab, then add swc.) Not sure what environment you have set up or exactly what you're doing, or trying to do, but try that, or review the docs again… --Danny
