[flexcoders] Re: any interest in an alternative to QTP to automate Flex apps?
why is FDS such a problem. there are free license options availible But automation doesn't work with Express, AFAIK. See http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/61470
[flexcoders] Re: QTP plug in?
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en%5Fusproduct=flex download the Flex Automation Package (bottom of the page). Is FDS necessary for this (and Express won't do)?
[flexcoders] Text in a grid?
(The grid I mean here is not DataGrid or a flex component; I mean like on a graphing paper). In other words, I want to present a text (like in a text area) with an ability to draw arbitrary vertical lines in it. That's easy - but I want to do it so that they go exactly between characters. Any ideas?
[flexcoders] [Inspectable] Function type
Hi all, I want to add some [Inspectable] properties that are Functions. I also want to ensure that these are not just any functions, but functions that take arguments of specific types and have certain return type. How would I go about it?
[flexcoders] In closures, referring to enclosing instance if it exists?
For example, consider the following:
class Foo {
private var bar:Function = function():void {
// Is there a way to refer to the instance of Foo
// here?
};
...
[flexcoders] What's the best approach here (Associative arrays, dynamic classes, etc...)?
Hi all,
Here's what I am trying to do. I have an object that I
get from the server (currently via XmlRpc but that
doesn't really matter). It's an Object. I want to convert
it into a data structure on the client side for easier
manipulation. If I do something liek
class Foo {
var prop1:String;
...
}
then I could use code completion to refer to properties
of an instance of Foo. (I am lazy, and sometimes it's hard
to remember what properties are called). But on the downside,
in order to marshal/unmarshal this object into the raw
object, I need to know these properties. On the other hand
if I make Foo dynamic, and make the property names into constants,
I could use code completion in a bit more unwieldy way:
foo[Foo.prop1] = 'xxx'
and can also iterate through all these properties which is very
convenient for this marshaling/unmarshaling business.
Is there something that would let me combine the best of both
worlds?
[flexcoders] Re: Drag/Drop - Datagrid. Target is off?
There's a bug in Flex where the application uses an ApplicationControlBar (possibly other controls, I'm not sure) which causes the hitarea to be inaccurate. Can you point me to more info about this? I think I am hitting this one too... If so, I'll look for a workaround, getting rid of this particular drag-drop functionality... I just want to make sure it's not me being silly, it is an actual bug (though who knows...)
[flexcoders] Timing out an XML request?
Hi all, Is there any way to tell URLLoader to time out a request after a certain period of time?
[flexcoders] Re: data being dragged
This is comun Drag and Drop question very important. How can i know the data being dragged?. How can i add (after the dragdrop) the data being dragged to an array collection? How are you starting the dragging? It's in the dragSource property of the DragEvent you get. DragManager docs provide all the info you need (or link to others). The following query in Google data being dragged flex 2 gives amazing results :)
[flexcoders] Fixed-length file import component
Hi all, I am looking to create something like MS Office wizard for importing fixed-length files, specifically, the part where you can click to draw a line delimiting fields, and move it. I can do, say, a TextArea, and a VRule (the textarea is transparent), or actually do graphics.drawLine, etc., it's all fine, but any suggestions on how to make sure that I am sticking that line between the characters in the textarea? I am talking about something like this: http://debedb.googlepages.com/access-wizard.JPG.
[flexcoders] Drawing a line exactly to the dragged proxy
Hi all, Let's say I want to drag something and this is for creating an edge in a graph. So what is being dragged, let's say, is a little arrow (an image). What I would like is for there to be a line from the place I started to drag it to the current position of the dragged arrow. I can do it, using localX and localY of the DRAG_OVER drag event, but those somehow seem a bit off here and there. Is there basically a way to find out exactly the x and y of the drag proxy image?

Can you do an ordinary HTTPService call successfully?
This:
methodauthor.login/method
Looks suspicious. It is sending a querystring parameter that looks like
this:
...?method=author.login
Does the url target know how to handle that?

Subject: [flexcoders] XML-RPC
I have spent most of today googling and searching forums looking for
an answer to this and it's getting towards that time on a Friday so my
brain has given up.
Does Flex natively support XML-RPC? I found 1 or 2 examples of it
being used - one of them here:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/549
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/549
and when I have been able to get the example code to work (like the
above one) I have been unable to then get it to work with my own server.
So far each time I have tried I get an unknown method error.
One comment I found was that the webservice class would be better than
the HTTPService class. If so does anyone have an example?
The code I have used is this:
mx:HTTPService url={serverSettings.xmlRPCstring}
method=GET id=service result=methodResult(true,event)
fault=methodResult(false,event)
mx:request
methodauthor.login/method
Customer108/Customer
Nameusername/Name
PasswordPassword/Password
/mx:request
/mx:HTTPService
I get the result function call firing but I can't see and data. When I
dig through all the variables in the debugger I eventually come across
a unknown method string that is returned by the server.
Can anyone help me with this or do I have to try and get a 3rd party
AS2 library to work with Flex instead?
Many Thanks
Giles
[flexcoders] Re: XML-RPC
Funny you should ask. http://xmlrpcflash.mattism.com/ is for AS 2. I converted it to AS3, fixed some bugs (maybe introduced new ones :), and it seems to work for me. I was going to seriously clean it up before annoucning, but since you ask, here: http://www.hrum.org/people/debedb/pro/blog/2006/12/xmlrpc_in_flex_2actionscript_3.html
[flexcoders] TextArea as Console: Controlling cursor position and intercepting arrow keys
Hi all, How does one control position of the cursor inside a mx:TextArea? What I am really trying to do is create a console out of a TextArea. A user would enter commands at a prompt, and at some point they would be sent to the server for evaluation. I looked for something like this but didn't find... So, control of cursor will come in a case such as: I want to use up-arrow as history, for example, but while I can intercept the up-arrow on a keyDown or keyUp event and show the item from history, the cursor still moves. In this case, maybe intercepting the arrow's defautl behavior is good enough, but in another case (e.g., if a line ends with \, the next line is indented - but the cursor by default is in the first column, but whne I mouse click on the area, it ends up in the proper place). Thanks.
[flexcoders] 3 questions: Context menu, graphing component and XmlRpc
Hi all, I am new to Flex 2, and I have looked for answers to these but haven't found much. Here they are: 1. Context menu (right-click) - I am looking for a way to kill the actual flash context menu and have my own. Kind of like the one shown at http://www.flex-flex.net/flex/RightClickMenu/RightClick.html, but of course :) there's no right-click show source code. It is discussed at http://www.flex-flex.net/blog/article.asp?id=12, but only says code later, and comments are full of spam (I guess I am just showing that I've done some homework here). 2. Open-source graph component - by this I mean not graphs like pie charts, but creation of graphs with nodes, edges, layouts (ideally - drag/drop/snapping support). I've only dug out http://mark-shepherd.com/blog/springgraph-flex-component/, but this is a bit too much (plus it's non-directional). I guess it's worth hacking if I don't dig up something more along the lines of http://www.mxgraph.com/pages/en/index.html. 3. Finally, for an XmlRpc way to talk to the server (I already have a server that serves that:). I've been able to find http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlrpcflash and http://probertson.com/projects/xmlrpc/, both for AS 2.0. I am guessing it shouldn't be hard to make it work with 3.0, but which one would you recommend?
