[flexcoders] does Flex 5 upgrade? or downgrade in practice? REFdn7076142784
Dear all At http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex4sdk_whatsnew.html , at the beginning they telling us: Spark provides a much more expressive mechanism for developers and designers to work together on the appearance of their Flex applications. In other topic they saying that designer and developer could work for the same project, separately. It sounds good, but which way in practice Adobe suggests? Does anybody knows? Because, all of us (more or less) have developed ways for developer and designed to work together for the same project. Does Adobe suggest something smartest and does it worth? Does it really worth? In our business we must estimate if a new product they sell us, if a new suggested technology really worth. We have no time (see money) to invest to something that finally doesn't worth. Imagine to invest to learn something (you or your people) and after one year Adobe will abandon it, in case where they see that it is not merchandisable anymore or generally is failed! The history of software development is full with this kind of stories. I think. that Flex is becoming too complex for this kind of software that generates. Even more where Flex doesn't support multithreading (what are you doing Adobe with too heavy infrastructures in our swf???). Too complex like .net has become, where a simple applications requires a lot of power CPU, at least on its first execution, where a new developer is completely lost in too many libraries where they doing the same things, with different bugs. Share your thoughts. .. Take care. dennis ...we are what we are doing... P Think! before you print.

Hi Alexander Your question is correct :) In general, complex is the unknown. As we are talking about multithreaded, is such a shame so power engine like this of flash to do not support multithreading. dennis ...we are what we are doing... P Think! before you print.

REFdn7076142784 So you think Flex is complex, but then you want it to become multithreaded?
RE: [flexcoders] Re: does Flex 5 upgrade? or downgrade in practice? REFdn7076142784
I definitely agree with you, if Flex stops something else will appear and we will have it to learn. I think that Adobe makes the things more confused, as we were doing the same things much easiest with our developed infrastructure. As your said, we are waiting from SDK better performance to our application (like multithreading :) ), better database connections. and many other things where yet is poor, instead of create the new spark. Ok, I don't blame because I haven't learn this feature; it is my first time in the history of Flex where I complain for something. I hope to be wrong and continue to trust Adobe. By the way, according this message Spark provides a much more expressive mechanism for developers and designers to work together on the appearance of their Flex applications. In other topic they saying that designer and developer could work for the same project, separately. Could someone explain me (it this is possible), what the designer can do only and what the developer? Some example(s). Thank you in advance dennis ...we are what we are doing...

REFdn7076142784 Same as with anything else. We want Adobe to continually make things better - that means that we have to pay some cost to learn the new tech, port our existing apps, patch around any new issues, remove hacks and workarounds that are no longer necessary, etc. Would you like them to stop releasing new versions? Just develop the Flex 3 feature set forever? If Adobe did not move the platform forward, somebody else would come up with some new platform that does something Flex doesn't - and then our bosses would be asking us to rewrite for that new platform. Only you can decide whether the upgrade is worth it on your individual projects. My criteria for making that decision are pretty much as follows: Is your software reaching end of life? Probably don't upgrade. New project? Definitely upgrade. Project has a lot of new development left to do? Probably upgrade. Finally, Flex has its limitations and it's your job as a developer to understand those limitations and guide your project management accordingly. If you have a boss that is pushing you to do something which you know will not perform well, you have to convince her/him that it's a bad idea. Also, if you have not structured your project with performance in mind, you will see poor startup performance - but that's not Flex's fault. That said, I too would like to see some progress in the overall performance of the Flex SDK. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , dennis den...@... wrote: Dear all At http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex4sdk_whatsnew.html , at the beginning they telling us: Spark provides a much more expressive mechanism for developers and designers to work together on the appearance of their Flex applications.

[flexcoders] misleading errors about Vector3D, Matrix3D, PerspectiveProjection REFdn1026535538
In Flex 3.0.2 SDK I get the follow misleading errors: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Vector3D. 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Matrix3D. 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: PerspectiveProjection. This happened after I installed and the Flex Builder 4 on the same windows system. Of course I don't use any of these classes (Vector3D, Matrix3D, PerspectiveProjection). Also there is no these definition in any file of the my projects. This error occurred in my all projects (it is a real disaster). At internet I found this error is because some kind of incompatibility with something the Flex 4 installed. Flash player? Air? I don't know. At Adobe's forums I found nothing. So here we are. I have the latest update of Flex 3. I tried to replace the ActiveX Flash Player from 10 to 9 without result. I removed the Air player, nothing again. Please.. Help. desperately.

Hello ppl, I am coming back with an old request, trying to find out a solution. How to load a swf from another swf (I mean, from another Flex AS code, not from html code), in order to be transparent? Funny is that I have found how to load a swf as transparent on html objects and I cannot find how to load swf as transparent on other swf. With word transparent, I mean, the color of the stage of the loaded swf must be transparent. Now, when I load the swf, it is appeared with this default dark blue color of Flex 3 environment. How may I remove it and leave the loaded swl's stage transparent? (the alpha property, by the way, it is working). Kinf regards Dennis

[flexcoders] Re: LCDS Offline Synchronization
Thanks Jeff for the prompt response, coincidentally a few hours after writing this post, I managed to solve my problem by doing pretty much what you said. Making an explict call to connect after the datastore and dataservices are initialized correctly updated the commitRequired flag. I had thought that setting autoConnect to true would do the resync but I guess an explicit connect is required. Thanks again. Dennis --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeffrey Vroom j...@... wrote: It sounds to me like you are just not getting that particular DataService connected before you do the fill. There is a DataService.connect method if I recall correctly that might help. I don't think you get commitRequired=true when the app is in a disconnected state. The fill will auto-connect before it runs so that would explain why it is initializing the data store. The reconnect policy setting is set by default from the server configuration. I think there is an api on the client which also sets it though, probably on the DataStore property of the DataService.. note that there is also a refresh operation on the DataService client which essentially does the same thing only manually. It sounds to me like when you are calling fill, it reconnects which then refreshes that fill as per the reconnect policy, then you do the fill again so it happens twice. If you just call connect, you can avoid that extra fill call altogether.

[flexcoders] LCDS Deleting offline data cache
If a user deletes the offline cache of an Air app then starts up the app in offline mode what is the expected behaviour results from a fill request? On my local setup, the callbacks bound to the token from my fill request are not called and the app waits indefinitely. I expect an empty fill result list similar to what would happen when you make a offline request that was never cached. I could write some custom code to return empty lists when the sqllite db file does not exist, but i'm thinking there is a nicer and built in way of doing this. Any suggestions? Dennis

I know how to make Constraints / Anchors with onResize Event; I just
wondering if there is a chance to work with the already implemented (by
Adobe) Constraints mechanisms. But probably there is no something like this.

Constraints should work in a application parent container. Are you certain
that the application is resizing correctly? Set up a onResize listener for
debugging purposes and make sure it is getting fired on browser resize.
If it is, and constraints are still not woking, then you can use that
listener to reposition you component.
Here is an example that positions a popup component on application resize,
it should help if you need to go the manual route.

var d:PanelGradient=new
PanelGradient(0,0,stg.width/2,stg.height/2,30,30,stg.width/2*1.5,stg.width/2
*1.5);
d.setStyle(right,10);
d.setStyle(bottom,10);
addChild(d);
In the above code, setting the right and bottom, I expect, in case of
resizing the browser, the PanelGrandient must be kept anchored in the right
bottom corner.
What I do wrong?
p.s. The PanelGradient extends the UIComponent and in real is a container of
a Shape with a matrix.

The constraints are styles, not properties. So to use constraints in AS,
you need to define them in a style sheet, and/or use setStyle().

You need to use UIComponent as your base instead of Sprite. I believe you can go lower down the inheritance chain to FlexSprite (don't quote me on the name I don't have my Flex posters in front of me). But even if you use FlexSprite you have to implement a lot of Classes and write a lot of functions (override possibly) to make FlexSprite work so its just best to go with UIComponent. J

Yes it looks great. But developing in in php (only php), there is no need to purchase a kind of server like this; where, it is not so cheap. I think that Adobe should have developed libraries regarding sql server, as php have done. It seems strange where too strong engine (I mean the adobe flash in general) has no the ability to be connected with sql servers.

This EntryClass.Main() function is doing the follow: var mxmlApp:Application = Application(Application.application); var mainAppClass:MainAppClass=new MainAppClass(); mxmlApp.addChild(mainAppClass); So the mainAppClass is loaded. Now the MainAppClass extends the UIComponent and in its constructor does this: var buttonFromMainClass:Button=new Button(); buttonFromMainClass.x=20;buttonFromMainClass.y=20;buttonFromMainClass.label= hello world; to add it to stage I call addChild(buttonFromMainClass); and here is the problem! The button is not appeared on the stage, but using this code: Application(Application.application).addChild(buttonFromMainClass); the button is added to the stage and it is visible. Why the button is not added to the stage with the simple addChild? Where am I wrong? Something that might be help, in EntryClass.Main() if I create a button and add it with the mxmlApp.addChild the button is added and appeared on the stage normally, so there is no problem with the use of mxmlApp.addChild.

If so, you want mx.controls.Button, not mx.core.ButtonAsset. But you can't take a Flex Button and have it work inside a plain old Sprite, which is what a pure ActionScript-based app is. Flex is an application framework, and Flex controls expect to be inside of Flex containers. So you have to start by creating, in MXML, an mx:Application or an s:Application. Once you have that, you can do everything else in AS rather than MXML if you really don't like MXML. But it's a lot easier to just write mx:Button. Issue 2: Again, it looks like your problem is that you're expecting Flex controls to work inside of pure ActionScript apps. Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team
RE: [flexcoders] defining more than one class in a simple .as filem ref
Thank you for you reply. I am coming from .net and Delphi environments. There was pretty easy to have many classes in a single file.

How can I avoid this class to be visible from other object users? Take care Dennis

I want to create more than one class in a single .as file, but finally this is not allowed!

To define more than one class in a file, define the additional classes outside of the package body. Implementing by this way, the additional classes doesn't belong to the package (specified in the .as), but belong in the default package something that I do not want it. Of course, the other way Is to implement the class in another .as of the same package but this will have as result so many .as files (doing nothing in particular). So, I just want to clear, there is no way to have more than one class of the same package in the same .as file??? dennis ...we are what we are doing... P Think! before you print.

ab.x=10;
ab.y=10;
ab.width=200;

addChild(ab);

}
The problem (as you see) are the two compiler errors. Now. if get the cursor
on Button text in my code and I press the F3 the Flash Builder transfers
me to the declaration of Button class in the proper Button.as file! So I
suppose that my definition in my preceding code is correct. If I remove the
the SWC folder from the libraries of my project, the F3 buttons doesn't
transfer me anywhere, so the SWC folder definition is working too.
What is wrong?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DataGrid selection w/ filtered contents
Thanks...I wish I had a good example of when that didn't work for me... I
had times when the data would be filtered down such that the item previously
selected was still selected, but its index had changed. If I tried to tell
the grid to select the new index, it ignored my command because the same
item was selected. I had to toggle no selection/selection to get it to
behave properly.
The selectedIndex behavior really seems like a bug to me...
http://flexninja.com/examples/DGFilterTest/DGFilterTest.html. If you type
'3' for example, only 3 and 13 will be left, but the grid will claim the
selectedIndex is 3 (because that's 3's previous index.)

Subject: [flexcoders] Observing collections
For some reason I have an aversion to adding event listeners in
ActionScript, favouring binding expressions and the Observe tag from
Adobe Consulting. Not sure how rational this is, but there you have it.
Binding is just so damn elegant.
However, collections are a problem. It seems that so often you want to
update something if either the collection itself or its contents
changes, and you don't really care about the details of the change.
I suppose if you're a DataGrid watching its dataprovider you do care and
can minimize updates, but in many of the use cases I've encountered,
that's not the case - my observer is going to do something with the
whole collection (or maybe I've just been lazy about exploiting possible
optimizations).
Is there anything like the Observe tag that can be instantiated in MXML
and can trigger a function call on a COLLECTION_CHANGE event?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Trick button into rendering mouseover/mouseout states
Right, I dug around for a while in the framework and CSS looking for the
actual skin. In LinkButtonSkin.as, it specifies the upskin and overskin,
but because this is all inside a single file and it uses the appropriate
skin, it seems that I can't tell it to use the upskin for the overskin
case overSkin:
{
drawRoundRect(
0, 0, w, h, cornerRadius,
rollOverColor, 1);
break;
}
If I ever run into any issues with my .png I can just copy the skin file and
replace rollOverColor, 1 with 0, 0 for every state and I'll get the same
effect.

Do you mean the CSS from the framework? Because the only applicable css
I've seen is:
LinkButton
{
/*disabledIcon: null; */
disabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*downIcon: null; */
downSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*overIcon: null; */
overSkin: ClassReference(null);

paddingRight: 7;
/*selectedDisabledIcon: null; */
selectedDisabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedDownIcon: null; */
selectedDownSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedOverIcon: null; */
selectedOverSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedUpIcon: null; */
selectedUpSkin: ClassReference(null);
skin: ClassReference(mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin);
/*upIcon: null; */
upSkin: ClassReference(null);
}
Setting my over skin to ClassReference(null) makes it appear (I think) like
a normal button, while using ClassReference(mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin)
will make it behave like a typical LinkButton does when moused over. Again
though, it currently looks great and behaves the way I want it to. Is there
a reason for me to not do it just with an alpha image?

Yeah, I didn't understand states. Changing from one state to another always unplays the properties and styles set in the previous state. Not a fan of that at all but that explains all my confusion.

It also performed the code in the fetching data state. I created a function to watch the state changes and the no data state was never being entered, but its properties were definitely being applied. I now have it working by doing everything in transitions, but does anyone know why this problem would happen? I tried to write a small sample app to demo this problem, but of course it worked fine.

Re: [flexcoders] So I guess I don't understand states
Not sure what you mean...I didn't research it beyond figuring out my problem... I had a viewstack with normal and no data views and wanted it to stay the same (either in no data or normal) when going to the updating/downloading state. Was frustrated when my normal state was inexplicably showing the no data view when it went to the updating state. I finally figured out it was undoing the current state (normal) and reverting back to the previous values, which incidentally were applied by the no data state. Once I moved all the code to transitions which are not undone, it worked fine. My current understanding is that anything you wish to be undone after you move to another state should be done in states. Any effect or permanent change should be done in transitions.

It also performed the code in the fetching data state. I created a function to watch the state changes and the no data state was never being entered, but its properties were definitely being applied.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Trick button into rendering mouseover/mouseout states
Do you mean the CSS from the framework? Because the only applicable css
I've seen is:
LinkButton
{
/*disabledIcon: null; */
disabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*downIcon: null; */
downSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*overIcon: null; */
overSkin: ClassReference(null);
paddingLeft: 7;
paddingRight: 7;
/*selectedDisabledIcon: null; */
selectedDisabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedDownIcon: null; */
selectedDownSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedOverIcon: null; */
selectedOverSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*selectedUpIcon: null; */
selectedUpSkin: ClassReference(null);
skin: ClassReference(mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin);
/*upIcon: null; */
upSkin: ClassReference(null);
}
Setting my over skin to ClassReference(null) makes it appear (I think) like
a normal button, while using ClassReference(mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin)
will make it behave like a typical LinkButton does when moused over. Again
though, it currently looks great and behaves the way I want it to. Is there
a reason for me to not do it just with an alpha image?
Thanks

[flexcoders] Reflect column sorting in AdvancedDataGrid
I'm using an AdvancedDatagrid where my sorting is done on the server (total result set is bigger than the list shown at client). So when I click a header, sort info is added to the request and result comes back sorted correctly. My question is: How can I provide feedback on how the results are sorted? Arrows on the columns are gone, probably because dataprovider was refreshed. Is there a way to manually enable those arrows again ?

Re: [flexcoders] parsing complex xml
I was trying both routes- dataprovider and and iterating.
dataProvider:
function dataReceived(data:XML):void
{
list.dataProvider = data.configuration.category;
}
With the above, nothing showed up in the list. The xml sample I provided in
my original email was all wrapped by a con tag by the server.
Iterating over it I tried:
function dataReceived(data:XML):void
{
for (var category:XML in data.configuration.category)
{
trace(category.toXMLString();
}
}
The flex page that needs to render this will allow the user to configure
each item, so I need a way to read and write to those items while still
leaving the comments in tact.
Thanks!

To iterate over nodes, use an e4x expression to return an XMLList, then use
a for loop. Or For Each, or For In. The docs have some more detail and
examples.
A list can also use XMLList as a dataProvider if you do not plan to
programmaticlly update the dataprovider. If you do, simply wrap the XMLList
in an XMLListCollection.
It looks like you will need to declare the default namespace, or use the
namespace::node in all e4x expressions.
You've not shown any expressions, so I can't say what you're doing wrong.

[flexcoders] CSS inheritance?
I'm trying to find a cleaner way of doing css. Right now I have a common border style used frequently throughout my app, and a couple common container styles (background, padding, width, etc.). I'd like a way to have the different container styles reference the border style, instead of duplicating those values. Does anyone know if there's a good way to do this in flex's limited css? Right now I'm just trying to find the least common denominators and split those out to separate classes. Thanks!

[flexcoders] Catch exceptions outside of try block?
I'm sure I'm going at this wrong, but don't know what to do... I'm setting the data of a custom component with an image element. When the component finishes starting up the image grabs its source from the data provider and a function catches the IOError event and throws its text as an exception so the application can know about the failure. The problem I'm having is with the delay between the set data and creation complete of the component. By the time the image tries to access the source (and fails), my application is past that try/catch block and can't handle it. What's the right way to do this? Better yet, is there a way in flex to try to access various different kinds of files to see if the address is valid? Thanks! -dennis

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay: why does play restart buffering after load?
I'm trying to avoid using VideoDisplay's default buffering and loading/playing videos manually. For some reason, calling load and then play sometimes makes the player start buffering again from the very beginning. I assume this is caused by one of the booleans sourceChanged or closeCalled not being reset by the load, but since they are private, I can't access them. Does anyone know a way around this? I think I'm on my fourth attempt at changing buffering because I keep hitting brick walls with the player... Any advice would really be appreciated. Thanks!
[flexcoders] VideoDisplay lies about bytesLoaded
I'm using a changewatcher to observe the bytesLoaded attribute of a videoDisplay and update the UI accordingly.

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay intelligent buffering?
Are there any tricks to make the VideoDisplay's buffering work a little better?

If anyone has come up with a good way of handling this, I'd love some advice. Thanks!

[flexcoders] Upload file in chunks
Hi all, I'm a bit stuck here in finding a solution for uploading files to our server. Problem is that is has to be sent in DIME format (binary data with some xml in it). What I was wondering is that for this solution it looks like I have to read the file first, wrap it in a bytearray and then convert it to a DIME record. Meaning that the complete file has to be in memory before sending it. So for a 50MB file (Indesign for instance) that would mean Flex needs at least 50 MB of memory extra... so.. Ideally I'm looking for a URLStream solution, but then the upload version, where I read a file in chunks and send those chunks to the server. Any chance of building this on URLLoader or do I need to step down to Socket for this ? Dennis

The entire SellModelLocator is declared Bindable. In one of my mxml
views I have the following:
mx:Binding source=SellModelLocator.getInstance().productList
destination=refreshFilters /
I need this binding to execute refreshFilters whenever I add/remove a
Product to productList as well as when I change an attribute in one of
the Products contained in productList. How do I do this?
The follow will fire the refreshFilters:
- SellModelLocator.getInstance().productList = new ArrayCollection();
- SellModelLocator.getInstance().productList = someOtherArrayCollection;
The following will NOT fire the refreshFilters:
- SellModelLocator.getInstance().productList.addItem( new Product() );
-
Product(SellModelLocator.getInstance().productList.getItemAt(0)).status
= ACTIVE;
Any help on how to do a deep bind would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dale

[flexcoders] Re: Yahoo maps api for flex 2
nevermind. Looks like its the old AVM1 version indeed.

[flexcoders] ModuleManager.getAssociatedFactory returning wrong result ?
Hi,
I'm trying to split up my application into modules but ran into this
weird behaviour. According to the docs getAssociatedFactory should
return See if the referenced object is associated with (or, in the
managed ApplicationDomain of) a known IFlexModuleFactory implementation
The thing is when I startup my app without modules it returns null (as
it should) but when I load a module it returns the same factory for
objects in the module as well as in the shell .. ?
Here's the code:
Shell:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute creationComplete=loadModule()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.modules.ModuleLoader;
import mx.modules.ModuleManager;
private function loadModule () : void {
var factory = ModuleManager.getAssociatedFactory(shellButton);
trace(factory + factory);
if (factory != null)
trace(factory name + factory.name);
var module_ldr:ModuleLoader = new ModuleLoader();
module_ldr.url = ButtonModule.swf;
module_ldr.loadModule();
this.addChild(module_ldr);
}
private function traceFactory () : void {
var factory = ModuleManager.getAssociatedFactory(shellButton);
trace(factory + factory);
if (factory != null)
trace(factory name + factory.name);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button id=shellButton x=166 y=41 label=Shell Button
click=traceFactory()/
/mx:Application
Module:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Module xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
width=400 height=300
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.core.IFlexModuleFactory;
import mx.modules.ModuleManager;
private function traceFactory () : void {
var factory = ModuleManager.getAssociatedFactory(button);
trace(factory + factory);
if (factory != null)
trace(factory name + factory.name);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button id=button x=166 y=141 label=Module Button
click=traceFactory()/
/mx:Module
With this output:
[SWF]
Users:dennisvannooij:Documents:workspace:ModuleTest:bin:ModuleTest.swf
- 522,921 bytes after decompression
factory null
[SWF]
Users:dennisvannooij:Documents:workspace:ModuleTest:bin:ButtonModule.swf
- 518,830 bytes after decompression
factory [object _ButtonModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory]
factory name instance16
factory [object _ButtonModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory]
factory name instance16
Last two traces are from clicking first the shell button, then the
module button..
am I missing something here ?
