[flexcoders] Casting down an object
Hi all,
I'm wondering if it is possible to 'hack' some sort of downcasting into AS3.
The context is, that I am using a generated webservice proxy from Flex 3, and
want to be able to add custom (extra) properties to the generated valueobjects
without having to adjust the code that parses the wsdl result into objects.
So e.g. the webservice generates the class:
class A
{
property A;
property B;
}
I have my own class that is:
class B extends A
{
property C;
}
When i call the generated webservice get all A's, it will return an array of
A objects, what I am looking for is to convert that list into B objects. So
the values of the properties that exist in the A counterpart, filled for a
new B instance, with an empty C property.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Ben
[flexcoders] Image stack flipping thingie
Anybody know of a component which stacks up a list of images (visually) and allows the user to flip through them? It has been used in the eBay desktop app (Air). It shows the images as being visually stacked and when clicked animates to the next image by flipping the top image to the bottom. Tnx in advance. Ben
[flexcoders] Linkbar Selectedindex without index. Bug is acknowledged, but any workaround?
I've hit a bug in the Linkbar control which seems to be known already (https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-9773). To keep it short, the bug is that you cannot bind the selectedIndex of the linkbar to something (returning an int) because the enabled state will not be updated. I was wondering if anybody has a working workaround for it (the code example in the bugviewer did nothing for me, broke the whole linkbar which didn't even show itself anymore). Any help appreciated. Cheers, Ben P.S. I am not using the linkbar in combination with a viewstack...

Try finding the allow-source-overlap parameter for the compiler (don't
know the exact name from where i am now). That will allow you to put
locale in src.

I'm not sure I understand your response. Do you place your locales and
assets inside src, or as a sibling? Also, we are building libraries
(swc) and applications (swf). The particular case I was referring to
involved a library project with locale and src folders. My build guy
was struggling with compc, if the locale was a sibling of src.
Thanks.

Is there any reason why you can't get CruiseControl to launch Ant
build
files for the Flex part of your project. It can be done and works
from a
Windows and Unix box.
I get a warning from FlexBuilder that a source path is inside another
source path.
I've had that warning before. If you ignore, your project ends up
getting
confused.

My latest struggle is with locales. I followed an Adobe example, and
placed locales alongside src, and added
-locale en_US -source-path=../locale/{locale}
to the additional compiler options in FlexBuilder.
My colleague (who is working on the CruiseControl builds, and is new
to Flex) requested that the locales folder be inside the src folder,
and I know that I have had problems in the past with assets outside
the src folder.
So I complied, and changed the options to:
-locale en_US -source-path=locale/{locale}
However, doing it this way, I get a warning from FlexBuilder that a
source path is inside another source path. Removing the compiler
option and checking the checkboxes in the Assets tab didn't work.
Unfortunately, Ant or Maven are not options, as we are
integrating with
MSBuild.

[flexcoders] Calling Webservice from disk to http
Hi All, Very strange thing happening to me. I have a local based Flex2 swf which calls a http based webservice. When i build the app (launches in browser with url like file://etc.) the webservice is called and results are returned. (isn't this supposed to be illegal by the sandbox definitions?). The problem is, that if I mail someone else the entire bin directory to test sometghing for me, the webservice isn't called :( Whatever other computer than mine I use for testing, the webservice stays silent. Only on my own PC it works. To make it even weirder. If I copy the bin directory from the building directory to e.g. c:\, the webservice fails if i run the main.html inside the bin (works when running main.html from original bin directory ). I'm flabbergasted, anyone any ideas? Greets, Ben Smeets
[flexcoders] Re: Calling Webservice from disk to http
Both, from the Debug/Run of Flex builder and directly by executing the html file through file explorer. When the html/swf is in the bin, it works. Outside or by others it doesn't. If I share my bin directory over the network and let others execute the html inside the bin through file sharing, no go either. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Peter Farland [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Are you launching the application from Flex Builder?
