[flexcoders] vert scroll fix for Satish T J's PivotComponent?
Found exactly what I need in this amazing component, which is basically unusable as there is no vertical scroll of the grid when the rows increase. Has anybody figured out a fix for this? The author actually works for Adobe, and I find it hard to believe that there have been no fixes to it for 18 months, and that Adobe has not taken this component and run with it . a useable version would make great presentation to the corporate world. TIA, Mic. I am going through the source now to see where the problem is, but wonder if someone has already found it?

[flexcoders] custom components destroy Flex design mode ....
This one is starting to really drive me crazy ... placing any one of a multitude of custom components on the mxml stops design mode from opening. Just grabbed the SteelPotato footerdatagrid to see if it can be seen if it is used. Nope - stops design mode. Wanted to try it because our implementation of Alex's solution also stops design mode from opening. The FlexLib buttons do the same thing - code them into source view and no more design view. How do you deal with this? Our corporate dashboards are starting to get very detailed and we need a WYSIWYG view to adjust things. Do we really have to compile, run application, view in browser, check, and then go back to source mode to increase the width of a button if needed? Any info really appreciated. TIA, Mic.

[flexcoders] Re: Apply filterFunction to datagrid XMLListCollection dataprovider question
1. Datagrid displays fine
2. Datagrid dataprovider = lstRepRankDrill[0].record which is _inside_ the
lstRepRankDrill XMLListCollection. This XML hierarchy format is returned by
myFlexSQL web service against SQLServer2005.
3. trace(lstRepRankDrill[0].record.toXMLString()) gives the 60 "rows" of data
that appear in the datagrid.
4. The XMLListCollection format:
lstRepRankDrill (mx.collections.XMLListCollection)
...[0] (XML)
..
.
.
. etc
Code:
- Datagrid declaration
- load XMLListCollection with back end result set
lstRepRankDrill = new XMLListCollection(myFlexsql.xmlData.results);
- add filter
lstRepRankDrill.filterFunction = filterRepRankDtlChnl;
- filter code
private function filterRepRankDtlChnl(item:XML):Boolean{
...trace(item.toXMLString());
...if(item.results.record.chnl_cd == "PREM") return true;
..else return false;
}
NOTE: trace(item.toXMLString()); in filter code prints all the data, not just
one "row". Trace=
item (XML)
...
..
.. etc all 60 of them.
So even though the grid data is fine, the filter is getting passed all the
data, and the filter gets called once. I wonder if it is because the data is
hierarchical and there is a discrepancy between the dataprovider and the filter
owner. The dataprovider is _inside_ the lstRepRankDrill XMLListCollection as
lstRepRankDrill[0].record. The filter is placed on the outside
XMLListCollection :
lstRepRankDrill.filterFunction = filterRepRankDtlChnl;
Its almost like where the filter is placed (XMLListCollection rather than
dataprovider subnode lstRepRankDrill[0].record) is causing all the data to be
forwarded into filter param item, and passed only once.

[flexcoders] Re: Apply filterFunction to datagrid XMLListCollection dataprovider question
thanks for your time Tracy, yes absolutely the whole shooting match is sent to
the _one_ call to the function i.e. lstRepRankDrill, which is actually more
than the dataprovider which is {lstRepRankDrill[0].record}. I know that the
fact there is only one call to the filter is significant, but do not know why,
unless it is because I have to put the filter on lstRepRankDrill.filterFunction
= filterRepRankDtlChnl; and it is hierarchical. Obviously I cannot put the
filter on lstRepRankDrill[0].record as it is XML and not an XMLListCollection.
Am using DG not ADG if that makes any difference. Eventually found 2 other
Google questions out there with the same scenario - one call to the filter with
the whole XMLListCollection being passed. No answers to them :-(

[flexcoders] Re: Apply filterFunction to datagrid XMLListCollection dataprovider question
I wonder if is even possible to use the filter function with hierarchical XML,
as all of the examples I have seen are of array collections or flat XML?
This I think is the problem - the complete data provider is being passed into
the item parameter of the filter i.e. the xml hierarchy in its entirety. I am
presuming that the filter wants one "row" at a time so it can do its compare.
Where do I have control of this? I am not sure I do since the only code is
lstRepRankDrill.filterFunction = filterRepRankDtlChnl;
The data provider is
dataProvider="{lstRepRankDrill[0].record}" in order to dig into the XML
hierarchy to get to the data. (Wrapper nodes are returned by SQL back end.

private function filterRepRankDtlChnl(item:Object):Boolean{
if(item.results.record.chnl_cd == "PREM") return true;
else return false;
}
Filter is not filtering and I think it maybe item.results.record.chnl_cd - the
item:Object is in this format:
item
...
..
.
. etc
What is the correct "path" for chnl_cd and might this be the problem? TIA,

[flexcoders] Re: SharedObject - do I need to stop it flushing at app exit?
Hi Tracy, that is when I assign the values - when the Save Prefs button is
clicked. However, when the app quits, Flex autoflushes again, and the user
might have changed some of the params but does not want them as "Prefs". It
seems that this autoflush remembers where the values came from e.g.
soDrctrDash.data.ddParamsVO.vpID = drctrDashParamsVO.vpID;
soDrctrDash.data.ddParamsVO.rvpID = drctrDashParamsVO.rvpID;
soDrctrDash.data.ddParamsVO.divID = drctrDashParamsVO.divID;
and overwrites the saved user prefs with whatever the most recent values are. I
have never had this happen before and wonder if it is anything to do with
flash.net.registerClassAlias("soDrctrDash.DrctrDashParamsVO",
DrctrDashParamsVO);
soDrctrDash = SharedObject.getLocal("drctrDash");
TIA,
Mic.

[flexcoders] SharedObject - do I need to stop it flushing at app exit?
Multiple dropdowns are used to configure stored procedure parameters to load a dashboard view. A "Save Preferences" button saves the current configuration to a local SO. The user can then change the parameters and load different dashboard views . problem is that when the app quits it autoflushes the latest parms and overwrites what the user saved. I looked for a way of stopping the autoflush at app quit but could not find one. TIA, Mic.

Yes Josh it is protected read-only why would the flex developers
intentionally cripple the functionality like this? Rhetorical question

[flexcoders] Overriding function not marked for override?
Again thanks for all the help so far ... turns out that
LineSeries.RenderData is a protected property
renderData property
renderData:Object [read-only]
Stores the information necessary to render this series.
Implementation
protected function get renderData():Object
... so I presume I have to subclass LineSeries to make it publicly
available which gives errors on both attempts:
package
{
import mx.charts.series.LineSeries;
public class myLineSeries extends LineSeries
{
// overriding a function not marked for override
// incompatible override
public function get renderData():Object{
return super.renderData;
}
// incompatible override
override public function get renderData():Object { return
super.renderData; }
}
}
Would appreciate any pointers. TIA,
Mic.
[flexcoders] Can see series[0].seriesRenderData in debug - cannot code to it?
Hi all,
Thanks very much for all your help so far ... I am now accessing the
chart object from within the line renderer with:
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void
{
var lc:ColumnChart;
var ls:LineSeries = parent as LineSeries;
lc = ls.owner as ColumnChart;
In examining debug, I found
lc.series[0].seriesRenderData of type ColumnSeriesRenderData which
"Represents all the information needed by the ColumnSeries to render"
and within that
seriesRenderData.renderedXOffset, The offset of each column from its x
value, in pixels;
seriesRenderData.renderedhalfWidth,Half the width of a column, in pixels;
Thinking that I was now cooking with gas/petroleum/ethanol/mazola I coded
var renderedXOffset:Number = lc.series[0].seriesRenderData.renderedXOffset
to find that any reference to .seriesRenderData creates an error. If I
can see this dot notation in the debug variable pane, shouldn't I be
able to code it? Again TIA,
Mic.
[flexcoders] Re: Chart: pass info about series1 to series2 lineSegmentRenderer callback?
Hi Johannes,
The actual data to chart is of course already provided to the 2 series
via the dataprovider - the reason I need series 2 renderer to know
about series 1 is in order to position the line segments exactly above
the series 1 columns as Flex auto adjusts those column positions based
on underlying data/position of the moon etc :-)

First question is whether I can pass actual parameters to a callback in the first place? This is what I need to do:
[flexcoders] Re: Can we subclass Application yet?
Hi Alex, yes in MXML - since we have a debug toolbar that appears on every view based on a flag, I wanted to put this visual component on the base Application class along with common public vars etc. Public vars etc work fine, but it seems as though you cannot put any visual mxml components on the base class.

As far as I can tell the Flex2 problems with subclassing Application still exist in Flex3 i.e. bye-bye mxml components on parent class? Is this correct and has anybody worked around this? TIA, Mic.
[flexcoders] pass extra params to callback?
This callback takes a LineSeriesSegment I think. What I want to do is
pass more information about the chart to it, as in
lineSegmentRenderer="myLineRenderer('mySeries','var1', 'var2')"
and I expected this error:
Initializer for 'lineSegmentRenderer': cannot parse value of type
mx.core.IFactory from text 'myLineRenderer('mySeries')'.
Is there a way of doing this? TIA,
Mic.

[flexcoders] chart LineSeries.form="horizontal" - how to tweek behaviour of "horizontal"?
Setting form="horizontal" for a chart LineSeries e.g. "horizontal": Draws only the vertical line from the x-coordinate of the first point to the x-coordinate of the second point at the y-coordinate of the second point. Repeats this for each data point. I want to adjust the x-coordinate starting position of the segments, and rather than write a custom item renderer thought it would be efficient to adjust the behaviour of "horizontal" However I am looking through the code of LineSeries.as, have found [Style(name="form", type="String", enumeration="segment,step,reverseStep,vertical,horizontal,curve", inherit="no")] and not sure where to go from here? TIA, Mic.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm: bundling functions to complete a task?
Example: read a local shared object when user logs on, and send value
from local shared object to back-end. The only example I have found of
Cairngorm executing a use case of more than one function is a
Cairnstore version where ValidateCreditCardCommand needs to continue
with CompletePurchaseCommand. It does this by "creating the next
event" i.e. when the Validate command has done its thing, it calls its
executeNextCommand()
method which
public override function executeNextCommand() : void
{
// Create the "next" event.
var purchaseEvent : PurchaseCompleteEvent = new
PurchaseCompleteEvent();
// Dispatch the event.
nextEvent = purchaseEvent;
super.executeNextCommand();
// Clear the event.
nextEvent = null;
}
Is this how one approaches more complex tasks in Cairngorm?
So I would encapsulate the SO read in a event/command/delegate trio,
and then call a value to backend trio by generating its event from the
SO command. If this is the Cairngorm way, would I try to pass the read
in SO value with the command generated event, or should I write the
value to the ModelLocator, and then read it back from the ModelLocator
with the command of the second event? TIA,
Mic

I know that some time ago there was discussion on how to wrap the text on a button, and the workarounds were rather convoluted . any advances on this one? TIA, Mic.
[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm - always event, always command? Part2
Appreciate any clarification on the following - am converting my
previously non -service embedded functions to Cairngorm. Command +
Delegate works by the responder calling "result" or "fauLt" in
Command. Responder is added to Service, right? So in my banal example
of "add 1 + 1", where does the responder come from that calls result()
in Command?
My typical Delegate would be
public function signon( signonAttempt:LoginVO ):void
{
var call:Object = service.signon(signonAttempt) ;
call.addResponder( responder );
}
Who does the "1+1"?. I have got pretty good at learning from example
code - I find it very interesting that all examples of Cairngorm show
a call to the backend - there are no examples of using Cairngorm to
execute any other kind of function e.g. my real need to manipulate a
SO on the local client - which I do embedded but want to keep to a
standard (Cairngorm). As always, TIA,
Mic.

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm - always event, always command? Part2
Thanks Jim. With the Delegate and Responder stuff, it seems on the
surface that Cairngorm is predisposed to service/backend communication
solutions. Taking the example of a function that at the moment is
reading Shared object data - how would this be Cairngormed? When the
Command code is reached, does one just stay there and run the SO code?
i.e. does one move all the function code into a Command function for
non-service oriented activity? Forget Delegates and Responders?
Really interested in what people think here, as the majority of
Cairngorm examples I have seen, have used Cairngorm events for the
service-oriented stuff, but have "regressed" to embedded functions for
the rest.
I would really like someone to show me how "add 1+ 1" is Cairngormed
being serious here! Thanks in advance,
Mic.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm - always event, always command?
pseudocode:
creationComplete
var ipAddress:String
ipAddress = getUserIP()
function getuserIP():String{
// use Services to go out to ColdFusion which can tell me user IP
return IP
}
But Cairngorm encapsulates "actions" into commands which are driven by
an event and a delegate. So how does it handle examples like the one
above? Should I create a getIP event, which is dispatched from
creationComplete, and use the standard command/delegate path. If the
event is not necessary, and it still makes sense to put the "action"
in a command, how would that command get activated without the
Cairngorm event process? I know what I mean . TIA,
Mic.
[flexcoders] Re: "Tapping into" the Cairngorm event model? Merging info from different compon
Thanks Tim, I like this approach - I wanted to try and stick with the
Cairngorm way rather than start grafting bits on when I couldn't see
how Cairngorm would do it. A definite eye opener for me to have a
Cairngorm event without the attached command! But it makes total sense
... I learned something ... a good day :-)

[flexcoders] "Tapping into" the Cairngorm event model? Merging info from different components
PseudoGUI:
Screen shows green fields, blue sky, yellow sun and a park bench.
The fields and the sky are the "main" scenery mxml file gui, and both
the sun and the park bench are each mxml components loaded with the
standard
bench contains the username and password entry fields
sun contains the login button.
Standard Cairngorm where all components are on same View =
[Event(name="userLogAttempt", type = "flash.events.Event")]
..
private function signon2(e:MouseEvent):void
{var userLogAttempt:Event = new
Event("userLogAttempt");
this.dispatchEvent(userLogAttempt);
.
and then trap the sun click event on the scenery parent:
private function userLogAttempt():void{
Alert.show("Sun clicked = logon attempt"); //
should be able to
extract username and password from bench child? Build VO here and
dispatch classic Cairngorm event
. }
userLogAttempt="userLogAttempt()">
.
where I should be able to extract the username and password from the
bench child, right? And then dispatch a classic Cairngorm event?
or is there a 'Cairngorm' way of doing this? TIA,
Mic.
