[flexcoders] Equivalent to html embed tag's scale attribute?
Is there any way to achieve what the scale=noBorder attribute in the html embed tag does? I need to have a flash movie take up the whole area of an mx:Image tag without being shrunk or distorted. The scale=noBorder usually does this in HTML, or Stage.scaleMode = noBorder in straight-up Flash, but I can't seem to get this to happen in Flex... Help!

[flexcoders] Help with loading of some SWF content in an mx:Image tag
I have a banner that I load into my Image tag, and this banner goes out to the server it came from to request a TXT file to load up some variables. The problem is that I want to be able to use as much client side as possible. Is there a way to override it loading these vars so I can put in my own by passing the Image object the names of the vars I need to load? For example: mx:Image source=test.swf id=test/ Then going: test[_level5].someVar = foo; I have tested this with other simpler SWFs and it appears that I CAN in fact set internal fields as long as I know their name. The problem with this particular flash movie is that I believe I set the fields, but then it overwrites them with values it gets in the TXT file. Right now, I have no choice but to serve it a TXT file, because if I don't regardless of what the values are set to, it wont play until it loads this file. I don't have the source to this file, but I do know where the vars need to be set. Help is much appreciated!

[flexcoders] Dynamically add an MXML to a Panel
I have a Panel in my application that needs to include different form
stuff based on what a user chooses in a ComboBox. I have a Panel that
looks like:
mx:Panel title=Message Specifics width=100% height=100%
id=editMessageSpecificsPanel/
Based on the selection they choose in the ComboBox, I need what shows
up in the Panel to change. I have created several MXML files that have
an HBox that lays out what the Panel's internals need to look like.
One very simple one looks like:
mx:HBox width=100% xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
mx:Form width=100% marginTop=5 marginBottom=0
mx:FormItem label=Text
mx:TextArea id=messageText text= width=250
height=80 enabled=false editable=true /
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Form
/mx:HBox
I call, upon the change event on the ComboBox. It contains a bunch of
objects, with the property resource containing the name of the MXML
file I need to include:
private function loadMessageSpecificsPanel(event) {
var resource = event.target.selectedItem.data.resource; // Get the
name of the MXML file we need
var child = editMessageSpecificsPanel.createChild(resource,
undefined, {label:'TEST', width:'100%', height:'100%'});
}
This isn't working though. Even though child IS getting populated with
something, it's not correct, doesn't have any of the variables I
specified in the included MXML, and the Panel in the UI is still blank.
Any help is MUCH appreciated!

[flexcoders] Re: Trouble getting mx:List to show any changes to dataProvider
WEIRD! I found the problem, but I'm not sure it makes me feel any better. After adding a labelFunction, and seeing that it wasn't even being called, I decided to add some funky methods to my Node class and debug them, just to see what was happening there. To my surprise, when I clicked files in debug, I noticed that the Node class was not there. Apparently, though the array group.nodes was populated with Node objects, and they had all the correct data that existed in the remote database, they weren't being instantiated; or, at least, they weren't as Node objects. What I did, was a simple var node:Node = new Node(); in my main MXML file. This empty class does nothing except register that there is a Node class that can be instantiated. After that, my problem is solved. The List shows all the Nodes correctly, and Node appears in the list of debuggable classes. This isn't, however, a fix. WHY does Flex instantiate all my remote objects except Node? I properly state the Object.registerClass, and upon debugging the code, it SAYS that the group.nodes is an Array of Nodes. My remote POJO doesn't deviate from standard Java bean structure. There's nothing special about my Node class, especially when compared to my other POJOs which work fine. It doesn't reference any weird classes, and certainly none that my other operating POJOs don't also reference and operate on. This is a strange, and seemingly unexplainable problem. Any insight would be helpful. Especially if it's something *I* did! -Josh --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tracy Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If your dataProvider has data then look again at your labelField settings or labelFunction code.

[flexcoders] Re: Trouble getting mx:List to show any changes to dataProvider
I'd rather not use a labelFunction, instead just using a labelField
would be fine.
So I tried adding a different array of objects, and it works. So it
has something to do with either the array of objects I want to pass,
or the objects inside of that array.
The array consists of Node objects, which are AS versions of some
remote POJOs that I get a set of.
They don't contain much; just an id field and some relational
information. Here's the entire AS class:
import pojos.*;
class pojos.Node {
public static var regClass = Object.registerClass(pojos.Node,
pojos.Node);
public var id:String, name:String, groupID:String;
public var nodeType:NodeType;
public var group:Group;
public var organization:Organization;
public function Node() {}
public function get data() {
return this;
}
public function get label() {
return id;
}
}
Thanks! -Josh

[flexcoders] Trouble with mx:Image or mx:Loader
I have a flash banner that displays its content in the vertical middle. I have an application that is 800px wide, but the banner is, by default, only around 600px wide. My tag looks like: mx:Image contentPath=autumn.swf scaleX=100 scaleContent=true width=800 / If I specify the width attribute of the Image tag, the flash movie doesn't scale with it. Usually, the way I get this banner to work in html is to pass a scale=noborder attribute to the embed tag and it takes up as wide as the container (div for example) that the embed is contained in. How to I do this in Flex? Also, I need the vertical middle of the movie to show, not the top section that I specify. I tried using hPosition, but to no avail. Any help is appreciated! -Josh Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Prevent dynamic properties from being set
I have some POJOs on my server like Role, etc... They have many getter methods that return subsets of actual data. For example, Role has getGroups() and getSubGroups(), where getSubGroups() returns a filtered list of what getGroups() would (they both reference the same Set in the object, but just loop over it differently). My problem is that when an object gets created on my client side, two variables are created, groups, and subGroups, even though I didn't specify a variable called subGroups (I DID specify a groups, though). When I send this object back over the wire, I get a lot of redundant stuff sent because it's serializing both groups and subGroups. What I want is for the serializer to respect the variables I set in my object, and not to create ones that aren't there. I know that an object can be set dynamic to allow what I'm seeing, but I haven't set this on any of my objects, and I'm seeing dynamic properties being set anyway.

[flexcoders] Re: Simple Cairngorm architecture question
If you looks at the mx.controls.Alert class, you can only give the show() method a listener object, and that object must implement a click() method. You can't specify which method the Alert may call, so I'm stuck giving it an object that has one click(). If this object happens to be the MXML, then I can't use it for different Alerts, because each one will only call click(). So now I have to decide where the proper place for click() should be. I don't want to use groupdetails.mxml, for the reason stated above (I also have buttons that deactivate groups, and do other things, all backed by Alerts). I don't know if it should go into the DeleteGroupCommand. I supposed I could add a click() method to this command, that kicks off an event that runs the same command, but that seems messy. It also somewhat ties my command to my view, since the Alert is just a UI technicality. This leaves the GroupDetailsViewHelper, but again, using this class for broadcasting a command event might not be right.

[flexcoders] How to get access to HttpSession in a stateful-class
I have some remote business delegates that are stateful. Is there a way to get access to the session that they are being held in? For example, I have a UserDelegate that handles user based business logic for the current logged in user, and it maintains a member variable of the user so I don't need to keep passing User stuff over the network. I also have a GroupDelegate, that obviously handles Group stuff. I need to be able to access the User variable in the UserDelegate so I can figure out some information about the user before I perform the Group operations (i.e. authorization, etc). My problem is that my Delegates are just POJOs, and so have no knowledge of requests, or sessions. Is there a way to get to the session that the stateful-class is being held in, or get at the request that is associated with that session? I know I could pass User information over the wire to my GroupDelegate, but this is inefficient, since the data's right there in memory on the server. Any help is appreciated! Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Re: Error: Cannot invoke method when using a VO
WHat's interesting, is if you look at the below code, I have an array
of Groups, called subGroups. This is populated with objects of the
type Group, so that would seem to mean that Flex is typing them
correctly, at least when they come FROM the server if I create a
new object of this type and send it TO my server, it seems to not be
correct.
What's also weird, is if I inspect an object using debug, all the
Groups in the subGroups array have _remoteClass set, even though I
didn't specify it. This is due to the Object.registerClass I assume,
but when I instantiate a new Group(), that object lacks this variable.
It seems like it's being typed wrong from the client side. Am I
interpreting this correctly?
Here's what my Group.as code looks like:
class pojos.Group {
public static var regClass = Object.registerClass(pojos.Group,
pojos.Group);
public var id:String;
public var name:String;
public var organization:Organization;
public var superGroup:Group;
public var subGroups:Array;
function Group() {}
public function get data() {
return id;
}
//... some getters and business methods
}

Have you posted the Object.registerClass line of code in this thread
yet? I've not yet seen it, but it must not be registered correctly or
the class not linked in at compile time to match the registration as the
player would send an instance of Group.
All objects go over the wire as ASObjects, but they may include type
information if they're registered. The raw representation of an
ASObject on the server side is a HashMap. It's the server side part of
RemoteObject that knows how to map ASObject - Group before invoking
your method.
Since you're not having any luck with Flex Builder, did you try what I
suggested using the NetConnectionDebugger.swf (which ships in the extras
folder of the Flex 1.5 install) with remote-objects debug enabled (it
doesn't have anything to do with Flex Builder)? If that's not suitable
then you could use the gateway debug level logging approach on the
server. I'd prefer you to try the server gateway logging approach anyway
as we want to see whether an AMF Typed Object or untyped Object was
deserialized from your Group param.

I turned on remote object debugging, but it seems to make my

abort the script or it will make my machine lock up. If I set remote
object debug to false and restart the server, this no longer happens.
But I think I found the issue anyway; it seems that for some reason,
the Group isn't being sent over the wire as a Group, even though I
have the Object.registerClass correct. Also, when I get an array of

But it seems that in my client class, when I do:
var group:Group = new Group();
group.name = test;
remoteDelegate.addGroup(group);
it gives me that can't invoke method error, because it's not a Group
POJO, it's just a hashmap. Why is this happening?

[flexcoders] Weird tree issue
I have a tree I'm populating with objects that mimic my serverside
Group classes. What's happening is that the tree is getting built, but
the data field of the nodes isn't getting filled.
This method:
var node = treeDP.addTreeNode(group.name, group);
is supposed to create a node with the label of the group's name, and
the group object itself as the data. Problem is, while the tree gets
populated, and you can see the nodes with labels, the actual group
isn't there in the data field. Obviously the group is getting
instantiated, because the tree nodes have labels... Any reason why
this shouldn't work?
I'm new to Flex, and AS, but this seems like it should work.
Below is the code I use to fill my tree...
var treeDP;
public function initGroupTree() {
user = mx.core.Application.application.user;
var topGroups:Array = user.organization.onlyTopSuperGroups;
treeDP = new TreeNode();
for(var i in topGroups) {
var group:Group = topGroups[i];
var node = treeDP.addTreeNode(group.name, group);
addSubGroupsToTree(node, group);
}
groupTree.dataProvider = treeDP;
}
private function addSubGroupsToTree(node, group:Group):Void {
var subGroups:Array = group.subGroups;
for(var i in subGroups) {
var group:Group = subGroups[i];
var subNode = node.addTreeNode(group.name, group);
addSubGroupsToTree(subNode, group);
}
}

I have some AS 2 objects that are client models of my Hibernate POJOs

being set to id when id gets set. What am I doing wrong? HELP!
