[flexcoders] Version Recommendation for New Project

[DJ]

I'm about to start working on a small to medium Flex project again, 
after working exclusively on backend type work for the last 10 months. 
I'm working on catching up with changes, new amazing libraries, etc.

I'm a bit concerned about starting development on the "wrong" version, 
given that Flex 4 is just around the corner. I was hoping to get a fresh 
perspective. Here are some characteristics of my project:

- Dashboard in nature. I might need to tap into libraries like ILog 
Elixir, FusionCharts and/or Axiis
- Rough initial estimate is to release a functional beta 3 months from 
now (around Jan/Feb 2010)
- CF 8 backend (probably won't be upgrading to v9 for a long time)

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

[flexcoders] headerRenderer with combobox - problem with events

[dj]

Hello,

I have a custom headerRenderer with a combo box, the combo box loads
data by week, day or month into my datagrid.  Unfortunately, clicking
on an item in the box automatically loads items into the dataGrid
which was last selected, how do I prevent this from happening?  Why
does clicking on a combobox in my header renderer dispatch events to
the datagrid?

Any ideas on how to help me?

Thanks,
Patrick

[flexcoders] combobox in itemRenderer header of datagrid, sending events to datagrid... not wanted

[dj]

Hi it's me again,

I have a custom item Renderer for my header of my datagrid with a
combo box.  When I click on the combo box, the dataGrid is receiving
the click event for an item that is highlighted.  How do I prevent
this from happening?  

Why does clicking on the combo box trigger an event in the datagrid
anyhow?  Is where you have to capture the event?  How to do this
easily please.

Thanks,
Patrick

[flexcoders] newbie question: dataProvider - dataGrid ArrayCollection

[dj]

I'm trying to populate a simple dataGrid and add two arrays, one for
the id that's not shown and one for the title, which is...  the

[flexcoders] non-wordwrapping text... has me cuckoo for cocoa puffs

[dj]

I have this component, and inside i have some nested stuff...  I'm
trying to get my textHolder to wordwrap... i don't know what's
throwing it off... but my tileHolder is a second component, 30 pixels
tall right below it might be throwing this off, but I'm drawing it
with the draw api...

Please, help, what am I not understanding about how this lays out?

thanks,
Patrick





   










I'm using this custom wordwrap function, which was cheesy as all
get-out, but working, until i discovered the mac has different size
text... 


if (myRadioPanel.textHolder.htmlText.length<40)
myRadioPanel.textHolder.height = 15;
if
((myRadioPanel.textHolder.htmlText.length>40)&&(myRadioPanel.textHolde

RE: [flexcoders] AMFPHP / databinding nested arrays

[dj]

The way you constructed your array might come out like this, but not
sure, looks a little crazy…


myResultObject[0].day.mon.start.100.end.300


Nested Arrays return into Flex as objects.  I haven’t tried nesting
an array as complicated as this, I guess it’s doable – but it
might be better to reorganize your array structure .  I think it will
be easier to read than a big old nested array constructor than in php
if you use the following example, and this is how I do it.





//in flex your result arrays work like this...

Var someArray:Array  = myResultObject[0].days
Var someOtherArray:Array  = myResultObject[0].starts


Then you can get your values and organize your arrays which ever way
you like.

Hope this Helps

Subject: [flexcoders] AMFPHP / databinding nested arrays

Hi there,

I guess this is a typical newbie question,  maybe someone could
kindly direct me to a tutorial or sample:

I try to bind e.g. using a charts control to a nested array I receive
from an AMFPHP service.
On the php side I have as an example:
$outputArr[] = array('day' => 'Mon', array('start' => '100', 'end' =>
'300'));
$outputArr[] = array('day' => 'Tue', array('start' => '250', 'end' =>
'600'));
$outputArr[] = array('day' => 'Wed', array('start' => '500', 'end' =>
'600'));
return $outputArr;
..which will deliver the data correctly as I can see from the flex
debugger.

In flex I have eg.:



Now, how do I access e.g. the value 'start' to use it for
databinding? Well, 'day.start' does not do the trick : )

I had similar probs using XML for binding, where I wouldnt be able to
access sub-children?
Do I have to somehow wrap the server response into an actionscript
object which I'd have to manually add properties to?

Any hint greatly appreciated!!

[flexcoders] Event Propogation - how to bubble up through components??

[dj]

I'm using bubbling, or at least i think i am to capture an event...
I've extended the event class to make my own event mechanism.  the
events are being dispatched, however the problem is, that
I'm adding an event listener to my custom mxml component to receive
the events and nothing happens.  I've probably got something
backwards...   

Isn't there a way to listen to events from the parent document?

Doesn't bubbling set to true allow the event
to be captured by any component in the order that they are created?


my code is as follows:

  var evt:MeEvent = new MeEvent(MeEvent.REMOTE,true);
dispatchEvent(evt);


---

package com.me
{
import flash.events.Event;

public class MeEvent extends Event
{
   
 
public static const REMOTE:String = "remote";
   
public var realTarget:*;
   
public function MeEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean=true,
cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}
}

--
And inside my custom component this is the event listener.

private function init():void{
this.addEventListener(MeEvent.REMOTE, handleEvent);   
}


Thanks for your time,
Patrick

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Ely: How do you wordwrap a label on a bar chart?

[dj]

Tim:

I just posted the entire application in a zip file.  I added a player 
title and it makes the text like subscript size.
I also am using Ely's comments and trying to put pictures to the left of 
the bars - and I've realized, something...
I'm totally confused as to what I'm doing.  Which is par for the course 
for me.

http://www.reduxdj.org/redux/polls.zip

I'm working from a previous example using the sandy distortion effects 
and it may be a little convoluted
so far.

Thanks for any guidance (other than pick a new profession, of course ;)

Patrick



 From Ely's previous post:

 
A chart typically has two AxisRenderers, one for the horizontal, and one 
for the vertical.
Each AxisRenderer has a labelRenderer factory associated with it. It 
uses the label renderer factory to instantiate label renderer instances, 
one for each label.
Your job is to create a new labelRenderer.
Your labelRenderer should probably extend UIComponent.
You would specify it like this:
 

   

   
   ...

 
Each PicLabelRenderer will get passed the string to render in its data 
property.
It's up to you to decide how to render that string.
In your case, if I were you, I'd imagine the string would either be an 
url, or used as a key to look up an image or image url in a mapping table.

Re: [flexcoders] Looping & creating objects...

[dj]

I know that mxml makes this stuff easy, but for me I prefer using the 
Actionscript then
using a repeater tag...

OK, so I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, sometimes i 
wonder where my head's at?

   private var myRadios:Array = new Array();
   
private function setUpRadios():void{
myRadios = new Array();
   
for (var i:int=0;i<5;i++)
{
var myRadioButton:RadioButton = new RadioButton();
myRadioButton.groupName = "pollq";
myRadios.push(myRadioButton);
this.addChild(myRadios[i]);
    }

[flexcoders] Looping & creating objects, how do you do this: var myRadio["b"+i]:RadioButton = new RadioButton();

[dj]

I know I've posted this already.  Sorry, just trying to get this 
populated in Actionscript, so I thought I'd
post again since I've been kind of stuck on this point here.

[flexcoders] events? Should I use mx.events or flash.events?

What's the difference between the two?

[flexcoders] Iterating through a loop with radiobuttons - giving unique instance

[dj]

Flex Wizards:

I need to  iterate through a loop and create radio buttons, i have to 
add loaders for images next to them etc.  How do you something like this 
in AS3.0?


var myRadio["b"+i]:RadioButton = new RadioButton();


Also, when you send an event with the currentTarget property, which is 
the currentTarget property?   I was messing with the mx:Repeater and it 
was a little confused
exactly how to set up a loop with unique id's and my make my radio 
labels dynamic that way so I am trying just to do it in as3.0

Thanks,
Patrick
 

[flexcoders] RegExp Validator

[DJ Lift]

Hey there,
I'm trying to use a standard regular expression in a RegExpValidator.

Here's the validator markup:


It keeps saying that a password like '64months' (without the apostrophes) is no 
good when it 
should be. The expression should validate such that any characters from a-z and 
A-Z and 
0-9 should be ok, as long as the total length of chars is between 6 - 8 chars 
long. This 
expresion works great in PHP.  

I must be missing something about how AS or Flex deals with it. Any help would 
be 
appreciated.
thanksie,
marky

Ely:
Thanks tip 1 you gave me worked.

Tip 2, i don't know how to use the IFill property on the barSeries, 
trying to do so gives me a conversion error.   I need a clear example of 
that.
I'm trying to put images, small ones, like 50x50 images next to each of 
the bars.

Actually, there's no simple example in the docs of how to change the bar 
color!

Thanks,

[flexcoders] How to get a sample archive to work - steps involved please (Distortion Effects)

[dj]

Hello:

This looks really cool, but I can't figure out how to make these work:

http://weblogs.macromedia.com/auhlmann/archives/DistortionEffects.zip




How does one go about making this a new flex project - and get it to 
compile right? I’m a little confused the steps involved for importing 
these kind of archives into flex. This is the second one that’s stumped me.


Thanks,
Patrick

[flexcoders] input type="reset"

[DJ Lift]

Hey there,
Is there something in flex that's similar to the input  type="reset" in html? 
So that all the form  
fields will reset to the values they were created with? Or do you have to 
program this 
yourself?
Thanks,
mark

[flexcoders] 2 questions

[DJ Lift]

Hi there,

Have some questions about the best practice way of designing apps.

I'm building a simple email server preferences application. And I've created 
two 
components. One for handling the login (which hits amfphp and ldap on the 
backend) and 
one for loading and changing/saving the user prefs (which also hits amfphp and 
ldap on 
the backend).

There are really only two "states", login handilng, and prefs changing.

Question 1: Is it best to use States or ViewStacks to deal with changing "app 
states"?

on to my second question...

The login component is sorta self sufficient. It can handle good logins and bad 
ones. and 
if it's a good login can switch the current state to the preferences state (as 
viewstates are 
what i'm currently working with.) But when i get to the email preferences 
state, it wants to 
know things from the login component, like email and password. 

Question 2: Is it good practice to have components be able to talk and share 
information 
with one another? And if so, how do you keep them around and reference them if 
you're 
using viewstates?

Thanks,
mark

[flexcoders] Anyone have any problems using "Clean..." in FlexBuilder 2 Mac Beta?

[DJ Lift]

I just tried to "Clean..." my project, and now I can't build any more because 
it says that the

directory any 
more.

I've even tried to create new projects and i get the same issue. I'm going to 
reinstall flex

Re: [flexcoders] Flashvars

Dorky Dork, or can i just call you DD:

Hi,

I assumed there was problem with flex  parsing flashvars then I realized 
that my query wasn't functioning properly, and it was a typo in my 
username field.  Which always goes to show, that right after
I post, I usually solve my problem... and then it comes down to 
something stupid on my part (maybe it's because I get cross-eyed looking 
at code all day)

However many thanks, this FXT stuff looks very interesting.  Will 
investigate further

[flexcoders] Little mask question/container bounding issue

[dj]

Hey guys and girls,

I know this seems a little simple to add to the list, but I am
eagerly awaiting my Actionscript3.0 book, coming from Amazon
tomorrow, then I'll  be able to study this stuff with out listing.

I have an HBox holding a bunch of images for the my thumbnail, I have
an issue where if the thumbnails load more images than my HBox
displays it autosizing, changing my entire nav, throwing it off.

Idealy, I want to make the HBox not keep resizing if my thumbnails is
greater than the width of the box.  I should use a mask as well, how
do i apply one to this:


public function addThumb(target:SWFLoader):void
{
deleteLastBorder();

var image:Image = new Image();
image.filters = [new 
DropShadowFilter(4,45,0x00,1,4,4,.3)]
var bmp:Bitmap = Bitmap(target.content);
var newBitmap:Bitmap = new
Bitmap(Bitmap(target.content).bitmapData.clone())
newBitmap.width = 60;
newBitmap.height = 45;
image.width = 60;
image.height = 45;
image.setStyle("moveEffect", Move);
image.setStyle("addedEffect", Fade);
image.buttonMode = true;
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, 
image_handler);
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,  
image_handler);
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, 
image_handler);

var border1:Sprite = new Sprite();
border1.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xcc, 1.0);
border1.graphics.drawRect(-3, -3, 
image.width+6, image.height+6); 
image.addChild(border1);
image.addChild(newBitmap);
images_container.addChild(image);
lastImage = image;
lastBorder = border1;
THUMBARRAY.push(image);
index++;

}


Thanks so much,

Re: [flexcoders] Trash/bugs in Flashplayer 9 filters

[dj]

Matt:

When flex uses relative values for x and y for placement it always uses 
an integers, right? I'm confused
how this would show up then. Of course all images i load are height and 
width = integers, of course.

Do masks behind images have any affect because i am using a mask behind 
the filters. That seems
how this bug was introduced.



Thanks,
Patrick

[flexcoders] Unusual Behavior of a text Area with HTML & Spanish Characters

[dj]

Before I assume it's a bug, I'm probably doing something wrong, but
I'm trying to display Spanish language characters in html in a
textArea.  However, characters with accents work like an escape
sequence and makes the formatting skip lines:


The problem seems to start at:  marrón  

Altura: altoCuerpo: gordoOjos: marrónPelo: mezcladoPrimera Lengua: españolNivel de Español: PerfectoMoriré para Shakira:
sí


Any enlightenment on why this won't display properly, please let me
know.

Thanks,
Patrick

[flexcoders] cross domain best practices?

[dj]

Cross domain policy check?

can somebody give me the best set up for a cross-domain policy, should 
it be an xml file or System.Security.allowDomain?  Do you have to check 
the policy for every image/swf that's loaded? 

How do you check the domain policy inside an mxml tag? is it better to 
make a custom loader for all loaded media/images for a cross domain check? 


Thanks,
Patrick

question: how do you make the code editor open the help.as class file - 
kinda like how F3 works in eclipse with ASDT?

Thanks,

[flexcoders] HBox inside a vbox - inside an Accordion (possible bug)

[dj]

I was having the damnest time adding a little thumbnail component to the 
inside of a HBox -> inside a VBox -> inside an Accordion...

I had no problem as the code demonstrates inside the first vbox in my 
accordion:





   

   
   
  
 

 
 
 


But below when i try to do my method  "stack" to create my component 
inside my vbox ="v2", it says undefined object or refrence... null... i 
*think* know i am doing this right, however flex can't find my component 
ID or something  -- why would this be?

[flexcoders] HTTPService Result to ArrayCollection

[DJ Lift]

Hi there,
I'm new and I don't understand something :)
Hopefully someone can help me out.

I have a datagrid that I am attempting to populate.
I've been able to successfully populate the grid with xml from and HTTPService 
with no 
problem.

But now I want to be able to filter and create specific sort functions for the 
grid, which I 
understand requires the dataProvider for the dataGrid to be an ArrayCollection. 
Is this 
true?

If so, can i somehow take the XML result from the HTTPService and make an 
ArrayCollection out of it? I'm having trouble attempting this. 

Below is what i have so far...

http://mccray/~mm/oracle/joblookup.php"; 
useProxy="false" 
method="GET" 
showBusyCursor="true">
 
 {pirateLocSelector.label}
 {pirateClientSelector.label}
 {pirateProductSelector.label}
