[flexcoders] Re: manual update of air by opening new version fails - but update framework works

[arieljake]

Basically, now, when we click to open a .air file that has a newer version, it 
only opens the existing app, like a shortcut.

Doesn't this cause an update for others?

[flexcoders] Flex-based AIR App with javascript stuff, too

[arieljake]

Is it possible to start building some pages/components in AIR app in javascript 
when it has already been built up till now in Flex?

[flexcoders] code hinting won't work occasionally since switch to ant builds

[arieljake]

Ever since I started using ant to build my app, every once in a while I get a 
situation where one project is not seeing (as in code hinting) classes from 
other projects that are dependencies.

I thought that refreshing the workspace fixed the problem, but this time 
around, that is not helping.

Anyone have any ideas how I might fix this problem?

[flexcoders] manual update of air by opening new version fails - but update framework works

[arieljake]

We are able to use the update framework to update our apps, and I remember at 
one point, users could double click a newer version of our .air file to update 
their program, but that has stopped working.

What needs to be in place for that type of manual update to work?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Exploit.SWF.Gen virus reported by BitDefender

even when I download a new copy from the project webpage.

[flexcoders] using ant as the builder in eclipse

[arieljake]

If i have one application and one library, in my ant file that i have specified 
as the builder in the project settings for the application, am I supposed to 
set depends="library-build" or not? 

I have the library specified as a dependency in the project properties, and it 
seems as if the library's build.xml file is being called automatically when I 
build the application, but I don't see how to get the application's build to 
wait till the library is done compiling.

The alternative is to use depends="library-build" to make sure they happen in 
the correct order, but the only way I see to disable the application build from 
automatically triggering the library build is to remove the link in the project 
properties, but then will code references work in the editor??

How are people handling this?

[flexcoders] SWF Encryption using the Local Encrypted Store

[arieljake]

Hi all, I need some help from the community with this. I am very close to a 
solution, but may have hit a snag.

The accepted approach for encrypting an AIR app is to deliver an encrypted swf 
with a wrapper that decrypts and loads the child.

The issue becomes how/where to store the decryption key for the wrapper to use 
when loading the child.

Nitro-LM / Simplified Logic embeds the key in wrapper and uses proprietary 
methods to make extracting that key difficult.

Here is the alternative I am playing with:

Company X create a simple program compiled with the same product id and AIR 
certificate as the program they are distributing to generate at home base the 
files for an empty Encrypted Local Store that has had the encryption key added 
to it. Then, the Encrypted Local Store files created by AIR are added to the 
AIR file - these files are encrypted with AIR's encryption mechanism. When the 
AIR file is installed, these files are then copied by the wrapper into the 
Encrypted Local Store directory and then read from using the AIR API for the 
Encrypted Local Store - and voila - the wrapper has the decryption key and the 
key is never transmitted in clear text.

I tried this and it seemed to work, but then it seems as if it doesn't work 
from one computer to the next - AIR seems to encrypt the ELS files with a 
formula that includes the program ID, the AIR certificate, AND the user's 
computer id, which prevents the company from distributing the original ELS 
files. 

Can only Adobe verify whether this solution will work? Can anyone lend insight 
/ advice on this? Thanks.

[flexcoders] htmlLoader - saving document HTML - using HTML.htmlText

[arieljake]

Hi all,

I recently tried to save the html of a webpage I downloaded with my HTMLLoader.

When I tried to set the htmlText of an HTML control, the page was not rendered 
correctly.

I presume this is because the links to stylesheets and images and such don't 
resolve.

ColdFusion addresses this with an option in their http tag that will resolve 
all relative links to absolute ones.

Does anyone else think this is the culprit? If so, how to solve?

If your OS is not listed above, please check for your ELS directory.

If your OS IS listed above, please verify the directory is correct.

[flexcoders] alpha - containers, buttons, and skins

[arieljake]

Hi, I am trying to understand a weird behavior i am observing when trying to 
use the alpha property.

Please see this image: 
http://ariel-jakobovits.com/AJ/images/flex/browserControlsAlpha.png

I am trying to fade out a box of internet browsing controls when the mouse is 
rolled-out because the controls are placed over the html control.

When i set the alpha property of the container (HBox), clearly the background 
of the box and the buttons themselves are all affected, but there is a clear 
variation in the coloring.

The box is styled with a background image, and the buttons are skinned with 
images as well.

[flexcoders] List sizing - height="100%"

[arieljake]

I am trying, in MXML, to size a list to 100% of its container, but when I do, 
it only shows 2 rows. It is using a custom item renderer. I tried setting a 
rowHeight as well but still doesn't size right. I also set an explicitHeight in 
the item renderer itself. Nothing.

In a fixed size layout, i can set the rowcount but I want it to be fluid in 
case the user resizes the window.

Anyone know why a list wouldn't size by percent to fill a parent container?

[flexcoders] Re: model locator population too late

[arieljake]

Do what I do:

public function get users():ArrayCollection
{
   if (_users == null)
   {
   _users = new ArrayCollection();
 
   var httpSvc:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
   httpSvc.addEventListener("result",function (event):void
   {
_users.source = result.data; // etc, whatever it takes
   });
   httpSvc.send();
   }

   return _users;
}

That way you can return the data/arraycollection before it is populated and the 
data will show immediately when ready.

[flexcoders] arraycollection vs listcollectionview

[arieljake]

I'm confused.

I have an ArrayCollection. And I listen for the COLLECTION_CHANGE.Remove event 
to know when to delete the item from the database.

For displaying the contents of my ArrayCollection, i am using a 
ListCollectionView with a filter function applied to it, so that the filter 
function does not affect all views using the same ArrayCollection.

But, when I change the value of a property on an item in the ArrayCollection 
that causes the filter to now filter OUT the item, the ListCollectionView 
dispatches a COLLECTION_CHANGE.Remove event.

This causes my code to remove the item from the db, undesirably.

Now I understand that the ListCollectionView must dispatch these events to 
update the ListBase, but why isn't the target different so that I can tell 
whether the Remove event came from the ArrayCollection itself or just a 
ListCollectionView of it? 

[flexcoders] interface question: function get vs. public var

[arieljake]

What is the final word, because I swear I have seen it work and not work.

Will it suffice to create a public property called parameter:

public var parameter:Object;

??

[flexcoders] FlexPrintJob - start function

[arieljake]

How does the start function pause the execution of code until the print dialog 
is responded to?

Could the Flex guys provide us a way to do something like that ourselves? Like, 
instead of having to use listeners with an Alert?

[flexcoders] distributing air apps without install

[arieljake]

Is it possible to distribute an AIR app that can be run without being

Can I zip the directory of an installed air app and distribute it to
users for them to decompress and run without having to install?

[flexcoders] flexlib and subversion

[arieljake]

i'm new to subversion, so i need some help understanding how to do this:

I want to attach my local source to the flexlib repository on google
code so i can detect changes to the library, but also...

I want to attach my local source of flexlib to my own projects
repository so that other developers can use the modified flexlib i have.

how do i accomplish this?

[flexcoders] syncing AIR/Flex app with mobile phones

[arieljake]

Has anyone handled syncing things like contacts or calendar events

with the existing contact and calendar apps on the popular smartphones?

[flexcoders] netstream.client

[arieljake]

I am using code from the example provided on the Stratus project page,
and am trying to modify the code that sets the client property on a
netstream.

The code as delivered does something to this effect:

var sc:Object = {};
sc.onPeerConnect = function ():void {}
stream.client = sc;

I am trying to change this to:

var sc:CustomClient = new CustomClient();
stream.client = sc;

However, the functions on the CustomClient are never being called.

Has anyone encountered this, and how did you solve it?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] AIR uninstall shortcut

[arieljake]

I want to file a bug with Adobe requesting that a shortcut to
uninstall an AIR program be added to the program group along with the
shortcut to the program, because I have users who don't immediately
think to use the Add/Remove programs.

But on the bugs.adobe.com/flex website, I can't tell which
product/feature to associate the request with.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Also, is there a way to, platform independently, add an install
shortcut as a workaround?

[flexcoders] copyright notices in code

[arieljake]

How do people add copyright notices to their code? When they create a
new file? 

What if the notice changes? Do they use ant to add it before
compilation to each file? 

Does compiling Flex remove the copyright notice? If so, should one
worry about having a copyright notice in the code for if/when it is
decompiled?

Anyone notice that comments are removed from an MXML file when it is
edited in design mode?

Any and all responses are invited!

[flexcoders] Bug List (can't get into adobe bugs)

[arieljake]

1. Drop down menu of styleName(s) we can use in Flex Builder. A
customizable 2 layer menu would be really nice,.

2. Compiler addition: we have Interfaces, but what if we want totally
unrelated objects to implement the interface in the same manner? I
propose a compiler directive "implementswith" and a document type
InstanceImplementation to exist between a Class and an Interface. An
InstanceImpl or an Instantiation. Then...

public instantiation FilterInst implements IFilter

and

public class MyArrayCollection extends ArrayCollection implements
IMyFilter implementswith MyFilterInst

or for short:

public class MyArrayCollection extends ArrayCollection implementswith
MyFilterInst


I couldn't get into bugs, my passwords did not work and neither of the
emails for a password reset ever arrived. I figured I'll write this,
create a record of it, and put the word out to see: would anyone vote
for these?

[flexcoders] AIR HTML control - clicking a link that wants to open in a new window

[arieljake]

How are people handling the situation when a link clicked inside an
HTML control is set to open in a new window. The HTML control does
nothing, and I am wondering how we can handle this.

It's been a while since I worked with javascript...is there an object
we can add an event listener to so that we can catch this occurence
and set the HTML control's location? Can I add event listeners to
javascript objects inside an AIR app written in Flex?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Lookup performance: Dictionary in memory vs. SQLLite

[arieljake]

I am developing an AIR app, and am wondering what people believe would
be faster...I plan to implement an RSS reader in the app, and want to
filter the entries that have been read/saved already, so I will need
to do a lookup on every downloaded RSS item in a dictionary to see if
the user has looked at that item already.

Would it be faster to read these in from the SQLLite DB at startup and
check these in memory, or just perform queries on the SQLLite db directly?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Use FileReference to get a directory rather than a file?

[arieljake]

What if we need a user to select a directory on their system (in AIR)
to specify a folder where files or settings are? Then can a user
specify a directory when browsing?

Would a solution to this be to replace the FileFilter concept with
IFileFilter so we could write our own Filters to analyze the File
objects if we want to allow for selection?

[flexcoders] AIR - HTML - view source

[arieljake]

I tried to search the archive for this to no avail.

Is it possible to obtain the html source of a webpage being viewed in
the HTML control within AIR?

[flexcoders] SEO and Flash content

[arieljake]

I was wondering what it takes for the server to realize that a request
is coming from Google's indexing machines so that text can be output
instead of a Flex app.

Also, do we need to be careful doing this to not get in trouble with
Google? Are their best practices to follow when we output the text?

[flexcoders] hslider and binding to values

[arieljake]

I have an hslider with two tabs.

I am trying to create a label next to the hslider to display the
values it has set.

We access the values of the hslider using the values array. But we
can't bind when using square brackets.

what do we do?

[flexcoders] mx.rpc.remoting.remoteobject and the endpoint property

[arieljake]

does anyone know why only the mxml version of remoteobject has the
endpoint property available to set?

[flexcoders] FYI: Getting mx:Text to wrap

[arieljake]

I have a DataGrid inside a page, and I didn't want to hard code the
width of the DataGrid, much less any of the columns inside of the
DataGrid.

One of the columns in the grid is a custom item renderer, a Canvas
with an Image next to a Text field for displaying a description. The
Image was constrained to 5 pixels from the left and 50 pixels wide.
The Text field was constrained to 60 pixels from the left and 5 pixels
from the right.

At first the Text field was not wrapping as many have asked/commented
on in this group. But I got it to wrap by replacing the right side
constraint with a binding on the width to the width of the parent
component (the Canvas) minus the width of the image minus the two 5
pixel padding values, so:

width="{this.width - theImg.width - 5 - 5}"

Now the Text field wraps properly.

Just to share.

[flexcoders] Re: Continuous refresh() on ICollectionView

[arieljake]

Yes, exactly. It's for a filter. What I am thinking about is if I am
going to type my first name into a text input (A-r-i-e-l), if I bind
the change event directly, the list will be filtered 5 times, once for
each letter in my name. But if I delay for say 300 ms after each
letter, and reset the timer when each letter is clicked, then perhaps
I will type the whole name before the timer has a chance to expire and
actually call refresh for the first time. The filter is applied only once.

I guess you answer my question by saying that there is no performance
issue, that filtering happens quickly. My concern is that the filter
after the last letter is typed will not be delayed while the other
invocations of refresh are taking place.

I am binding the change event of a textinput field to a function that

it would be smarter to use some sort of Timer to call the refresh
function to avoid filtering too many times since someone will be
typing a string of characters. Anyone dealt with this?

[flexcoders] Re: Binding with Associatives Arrays

[arieljake]

Binding does not work with generic Objects when referencing their
properties. You will have to create a class that has Bindable
properties or that uses a get/set function pair to dispatch events to
allow binding to work. 

Also, even though your example won't work, you need to be in the habit
of adding [Bindable] before variables that you are expecting to be
bindable.

have you tried calling invalidateDisplayList() or

[flexcoders] Re: "Enter Thru" States

[arieljake]

Add an event listener to the "keyDown" event of the application and
programmatically alter the state or visible container in the viewstack
when the charCode is that of the Return or Enter keys.

[flexcoders] Re: Help with sequential function calls

[arieljake]

It seems as if your call to getMission updates the Text with the new
value directly, but that could happen before the fade effect is
complete. Instead, collaborate between the getMission function and an
event listener on fadeOut that is listening for the effectEnd event to
manage updating the text. 

In the getMission function, if the effect has ended, update the text,
otherwise, save the new text into a variable. In the event listener on
the effect, if the new text has arrived, update the text, otherwise,
update a variable to indicate that the effect has ended.

You could also put this logic into one function that gets called from
both getMission and the event listener.

[flexcoders] Re: application/container scrolling

[arieljake]

I figured this out using the replies above. I looked deeper and deeper
into the display list until i found child components that were
expected to scroll, and set their parent containers to have
minHeight="0". This allowed the Application to fit the browser window
and not scroll past.

Thanks for the help on this one guys.

[flexcoders] Re: application/container scrolling

[arieljake]

Along these same lines, I have a VBox inside an Application, as such:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
layout="absolute" width="100%" height="100%" >





The contents of the VBox is taller than the browser window. Currently,
the application is scrolling, but i want to limit the Application to
the size of the browser window. Will that require javascript to set
the object/embedded swf to the size of the browser window?

container to add scrollbars, not the Application. What am I
misunderstanding here?

[flexcoders] Re: Use a CSS file in Flex

[arieljake]

2 questions regarding stylesheets in Flex:

1) is it 'background-image' or 'backgroundImage'?

2) like when we name a style "Button" to apply to all mx:Button, can
we do this with custom components, i.e. "ArielsButton" for
custom:ArielsButton?

[flexcoders] Thermo - API - Anyone at Adobe?

[arieljake]

Any chance Thermo's API will be released so we can do our own things
with the png to component converter?

[flexcoders] errors in the index.template.html

[arieljake]

I edited my index.template.html for the first time today, and ever
since, Flex reports errors like this that obviously do not need
correcting:

Attribute value "${application}" of type ID must be a name.

How do I get these errors to go away or get Flex to not report these
errors, as they cause the dialog to popup whenever I run the app "Do
you want to proceed even with errors?"
