[flexcoders] OpenResource in FlashBuilder 4
Anyone know how to get the keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+R for Open Resource to work in Flash Builder 4?!? Under the Navigate menu in the Flash Perspective ,there is two menu items. One is being created by the Flash Navigation. But, I am unable to disable this via customizing the Flash perspective as Flash Builder will not let me select OK and save my changed if I unselect Flash Navigation. Hmm... Really annoying not to have the keyboard shortcut work...

[flexcoders] Radio Buttons and Validation
I'm trying to do something I thought would be simple. I have a form with radio buttons and some user input for each button. I want to validate the user input, but not show the red invalid box on any input that is part of a radio button not selected. I basically added a change handler for the radio buttons and clear out the previous errors for the fields. This is working, but only for the fist time. If a user types in invalid data, it shows a red box with an error. If they change radio buttons, the first box clears, and, if they enter invalid data in the second box, and error is shown as expected. Now select the fist radio button again and enter in invalid data. The validation code does try to validate it, and the ValidationResultEvent.type is INVALID, but no red box or error is displayed anymore. Below is my code which may help understand what I'm doing. I'm sure it is due to setting the errorString of the control to an empty string, but I found this was recommended as a way to clear out previous errors. What do I do to validate again? http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"; xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">

Yes, I have done that and it works just fine. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "markflex2007" wrote: > > Do you think if we can install standalone version and plug in version Flex > Builder 3 in same computer? > > Thanks > > Mark >
[flexcoders] Re: Web Services and ObjectProxy question for the Flex Gurus
Thank you Mike!!! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Once I have Flex
generate all of my VOs, I've added the following code to the sub-class's
constructor which does the trick for all of my web services without me
modifying the generated code.
public function MyClass() {
super();
for each (var operation:Operation in operations) {
operation.forcePartArrays = true;
}
Now all of my web services work as expected!

[flexcoders] Re: Web Services and ObjectProxy question for the Flex Gurus
Thanks for the replies. I'm not wanting an array. Yes, I could just stick the returned single ObjectProxy in an array, but now I have an undefined object inside of an array. This works if I'm taking the returned data and binding it to some control, but I'm actually needing tp parse the returned data in an intelligent way. I'd like to access the object directly as the VO, not a generic object, that is, typed to my VO, not ObjectProxy. I understand why it does this, it does this because it was expecting an array of VOs and when it only gets one, it can't deserialize it to the VO. The problem is, how to get it to work in both cases (single object returned, and array of objects). The VOs are defined on the client side.

Thanks! I will look into all of this.

[flexcoders] Web Services and ObjectProxy question for the Flex Gurus
It seems like a common problem, I'm seeing tons of posts on the web, but no solid solution. I'm making a web service call which will return a complex data type, say Car. The Car has internal complex data types like Wheel, Door, etc. I'm using Flex 4 and I set the returntype for the webservice to return an array of Cars - Cars[]. If the web service returns more than 1, it successfully deserialized the data and returns an array of Car objects. BUT, if only one is returned, it returns an ObjectProxy, obviously because it cannot convert it to an array. Most solutions on the web show how to add this one item to an array. What I want is the actual object to be of type Car. If I change the returntype for the web service to return a single Car object, then when it returns one, it works, but more than one, it returns an array of ObjectProxy objects. I could check if the returned object is a single object, then spin through each attribute and convert it to a car, but because the car has other objects within it, they too show up as ObjectProxy objects, so I'd hve to spin through the tires, the doors, etc. which in my case is a lot of attributes, just to deserialize the object. Is there a solution for a web service to either a) always return an array, even if it is an array of 1, or b) a way for the Flex code to correctly deserialize both an array of Cars and 1 Car? Thanks!
