[flexcoders] Is there a separator item for a ComboBox?

2006-05-03 Thread george_lui



Hi,

Does the flex standard library have a separator (horizontal line) item
that you can specify to insert into a ComboBox? I looked around,
doesn't seem to be one, but I thought I'd ask around here as well.

thx,
George

[flexcoders] Re: Hardware requirements for Flex performance

2006-03-29 Thread george_lui
thanx for the response Mika.  I was wondering if you have even
experiences behavioral anomalies as a result of this?  For instance,
when I select a lot of data from this popup window, it displays in my
main window as an iteration of Repeater tags.  Problem is that some of
my selections aren't being displayed.  Just a little baffled at that.

TIA,
George

 Hi,
 
 If you have a complex app that processed and displays _lot of data_ then
 memory could be an issue. We run our app on IE and it eats a big
bunch of
 memory when lot of data is loaded, which is of course a natural
result. This
 causes slowdown on performance. Also many flex components like
datagrid slow
 down a great deal when lot of data is populated on them. So watch
out for
 memory. Also processor performance effects a lot on usability with
Flex 1.5.

 Hi,
 
 Anyone here have any comments on how complexities in your Flex app can
 affect the performance?  We have an app where we're fetching and
 displaying a lot of data.  We're seeing the behavior where if we
 select too much of something to display, it won't display everything.
 A collegue hypothesized that the hardware specs of the machine might
 play a factor.  We have customer that could conceivably be using
 slower machines that have 256MB of RAM.
 
 So I guess I'm wondering if any of you would know how hardware specs
 might play into the performance of your flex app (or more specifically
 the flash browser plugin I guess).  Is there a relationship between
 the complexities of your app and the hardware resources it might
require?
 
 We're using Flex 1.5 btw.
 
 TIA,
 George

[flexcoders] Re: Component that has event listeners and handles it's own event

2006-03-14 Thread george_lui
Thanx Gordon,  that is what it appears to be.

However I thought of a different workaround to address this.  I just
have the combobox that handles its change event.  It would then
dispatch a new custom event in which other components could receive
and handle.  That would ensure the ordering of events I want I believe.

 In Flex 1.X, dispatchEvent() is implemented in AS2 using a for-in loop
 over an Object holding all the listeners. I think AS2 didn't technically
 guarantee the for-in order for an object's properties, but I believe the
 player's implementation actually consistently enumerated them in the
 reverse order that they were added.
 
 So in 1.X, it may be that the order in which event listeners get called
 is always the reverse of the order in which addEventListener() added
 them.

[flexcoders] Re: problem with cell renderer in ComboBox

Just sharing the solution I got for this with Flex Support.  I
basically just used the labelFunction attribute.

mx:Script
  function formatName( item ) : String {
return item.firstName +   + item.lastName;
  }
/mx:Script

mx:ComboBox id=employeeComboBox labelFunction=formatName
dataProvider={ModelLocator.employees} … /


I still wondering why the cellRenderer solution didn't work.

Hi Matt,

You have an example of a labelFunction?  Say I have the blurb below...

mx:Script

mx:ComboBox id=employeeComboBox

  mx:dataProvider

Here, ModelLocator.employees is an array of custom vo objects.  How
do I access the individual attributes of each vo object in this scenario?

[flexcoders] problem with cell renderer in ComboBox

2006-02-16 Thread george_lui
Hi,

I had a cellrenderer that was originally used in  datagrid cell.  I've
since replaced the datagrid with a comboBox. I'm trying to reuse the
same cellrenderer in the combo using the code below.

mx:ComboBox id=employeeComboBox
 creationComplete=
 
event.target.getDropdown().cellRenderer='com.sf.sfv4.view.sharkfin.FullNameRenderer';
event.target.getDropdown().variableRowHeight=true rowCount=10
  mx:dataProvider { ModelLocator.employees } /mx:dataProvider
/mx:ComboBox

The FullNameRenderer cellrenderer I have just takes the first and last
name of a user vo and concatenates it.

However this isn't working for the combobox.  I get and set the
cellrenderer of the combobox's dropdown property as stated in this
group by another member, but it doesn't work.  Instead I get the user
vo object displayed.

I'm confused, I'm using the same dataProvider and cellrenderer in the
combobox as I did in the datagrid.  I think there's a difference
between the two widgets, but I just don't know what it is.

Please advise...

TIA,
George

I don't believe we are.  We have a login screen that makes a service
call to our EJB layer for authentication and verification.  I think
that answers your question.

 The nature of our app can have our users spends a good deal amount of
 time filling out the form. There's a save button there to save your

 In this scenario, when the session expires, we don't want the user to
 lose the data on the form.  We want to somehow catch the session

 Another scenario we want to catch is, say you logout. The session is
 invalidated.  However you could hit the browser Back button and have

[flexcoders] Re: Need help in tackling this event problem...

2006-01-09 Thread george_lui
Hi, 

We are using commands.  The command has access to this when the event
is broadcasted.  It's the event that you get on onResult(event) and
onFault(event) that doesn't have this data.  event.data and event.type
 are undefined as well.

We thought about the global variable route.  Actually we thought about
having the Responder having an attribute for this as well.  Problem
with that though is that we have asynchronous chained commands for
certain actions and there's no way to know which data is relevant to
which command any any point in time.

2006-01-09 Thread george_lui
Actually that is the problem.  The event I dispatch *doesn't* appear
to be the same event I get back in my result handler.

We use our custom event broadcaster to pass an event, pass it some
event data, and pass the Responder object (ViewHelper) in our case. 
The command has access to the event data and does it's execute() thing
(it makes a service call).  However in our Responder.onResult(event)
and Responder.onFault(event), the event doesn't appear to be the same
event I passed in.  For instance, event.data and event.type yields
undefined.

According to the Cairngorm documentation the returned event after a
service call :
event - An object containing the data passed back from the service
call...

Kinda leads me to believe that the event object avail in onResult()
and onFault() is not the same as the one that was broadcasted prior to
any backend service call.

Maybe this is Cairgorm that's not working as I want it to?  Any
Cairgorm guru's out there?

TIA,
george

JesterXL,

Yeah, that's kinda what I suspected. I suppose I could stick it in a
ModelLocator.  However all my events are asynchronous, so I suppose
that *theoretically* your data in ModelLocator might not be in the
*correct* context if, say, you have some chained asychronous events right?


thanks,
George

 Oh... well that's different.  The reason you're not getting it is
because 
 the event you dispatch is handling internally in Cairngorm, and
triggers the 
 Command.  After that, it's done, gone, and no longer can be access.
 The 
 Responder.onResult event is the event returned from a successful
webservice 
 call, and is a totallly different event object.
 
 You could instead stick the data temporarely on the ModelLocator so
whoever 
 is utilizing the Responder's result event can look there for context.

[flexcoders] Does this work for the Grid component (variable column sizing)

2005-12-12 Thread george_lui
Say I have something like this...

mx:Grid width=100% horizontalGap=5 verticalGap=7
verticalAlign=middle
mx:GridRow
  mx:GridItem width=90%
  ...some component...
  /mx:GridItem
  mx:GridItem width=10%
  ...some component...
  /mx:GridItem
/mx:GridRow
/mx:Grid


The layout displays fine, but the cell column widths are fixed.  I
want the first column to always occupy 90% of the width when I resize
my browser window.

There's also flexWidth and flexHeight which is deprecated so I'm
trying to avoid using that.

TIA,
George

[flexcoders] how do you guys handle browser back button cases?

2005-12-02 Thread george_lui
Say I logout in my Flex RIA.  I then hit the browser back button.  I
got back to the last page.  If I make another remoteObject invocation
at this point, my code catches the invalidated session and it is dealt
with accordingly.

But I wanna catch the session invalidation status when I hit the
back button.  Is there a way to do this?   Does hitting the browser
back button fire off a Flex event I can catch?  I would like to
redirect to the login page when someone hits the back (or forward)
buttons when the session has already been invalidated.

thank you,
George

[flexcoders] datagrid column sorting

2005-11-30 Thread george_lui
Hi,

When you sort columns in a datagrid, I assume that data in a column is
sorted according to its natural sorting order (whatever that may be).
 In my case it's a string.

For some reason, the sorting on this column behaves differently.  I
have data that begins with uppercase and lowercase letters, and
columns that are just blank.  When I sort on this column I get
uppercase, blank, and lowercase (and vice versa when sorting in the
reverse order).  I'm expecting the sort to be uppercase, lowercase,
and blank (and vice versa).

Is anyone aware of such a behavior?  It's hard for me to pinpoint
because I don't have this behavior on my local build, but it's there
in a staging build.


Thanks,
George
