[flexcoders] Re: Inserting Flex Container to TLF?

[handitan]

Hi Alex,

The content is a math formula where user could do CRUD operation.
Dummy bitmap approach does sound interesting...I believe that's basically the 
state where I am right now with my changes.

Really appreciate it, Alex!
Hope Adobe treats you well!

Hi Alex!

Thanks for the reply!
Hmmm...I guess that's the only way to do it, huh?
Any other suggestion?

Again thank you!

[flexcoders] Inserting Flex Container to TLF?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I am in the process of trying to customize TLF to be able to read my custom 
html tag that will be able to render Flex container.

I am using TLF code that's related to InlineGraphicElement as my reference for 
this customization.
I think I got into a good point where the Flex container is added but the style 
doesn't get rendered (blue border and red background).

I don't know why that is but my best guess is the validation doesn't get called 
since TLF is not based on Flex.
To verify this I tried another experiment by creating a subclass of  
RectangularBorder where the updateDisplayList overridden with code that has 
drawRect,and bla bla.

I found out that updateDisplayList never gets called at all.
Here's the framework that I am using:
- Flex 3.6
- TLF 3.0

Could anyone please point me into the right direction on how to solve this 
issue?

Thank you,

Handi

[flexcoders] MathML and or Latex support in Text Layout Framework?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there's anyone here have or know a customized TLF to support 
MathML and or Latex?
And I am particularly very interested to know how the rendering MathML and or 
Latex is done in TLF.

I am using Flex SDK 3.6 and TLF 3.0.

Sincerely,

Handi

[flexcoders] TLF 3.0 - How to make focusOut-highlighted text becomes unhighlighted?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I am using the latest TLF 3.0 with Flex 3.6 SDK.
To make the text stays highlighted when it's out of focus, I have to do this:
var config:Configuration = TextFlow.defaultConfiguration; 
config.unfocusedSelectionFormat = new SelectionFormat(0xff, 1.0, 
BlendMode.DIFFERENCE, 0xff, 1.0, BlendMode.DIFFERENCE, 0);

There's a time when I want it those highlighted text to become unhighlighted.
I thought it would be simple by just doing this on the textFlow:
_textFlow.unfocusedSelectionFormat = new SelectionFormat(0xff, 0, 
BlendMode.DIFFERENCE, 0xff, 0.0, BlendMode.DIFFERENCE, 0);
But it doesn't work.. It just stays highlighted.

Is it because it's being overridden by the defaultConfiguration all the time?

Thanks!

Handi

Thanks Alex!
Dang...backporting is much tougher than I thought :S

I will be posting some questions later if I am starting to get stuck.

[flexcoders] Re: TLF-based TextArea for Flex 3?

Hi Alex,
Unfortunately, it could be more than one image per cell.Is there any
licensing issue that I should be aware of if I am backporting Flex
4's RichEditableText component?
Thanks Alex!

[flexcoders] Re: TLF-based TextArea for Flex 3?

[handitan]

Hi Alex,

Here's one example that's TextArea couldn't do which is center-position an 
image in htmlText.
With TLF, I can center-position the image with html using .

Thank you,Alex.

[flexcoders] Re: TLF-based TextArea for Flex 3?

[handitan]

Hi Alex,

Basically, I need to have RichTextEditor that's going to exist in X number of 
grid cells.
It's not just for text input but also being able to insert images and position 
them.

Hope that clears it up.

[flexcoders] Re: TLF-based TextArea for Flex 3?

[handitan]

Hi Alex!

I am glad you're still around ^_^
One of the requirements is for the user to centered-position the image and also 
to be able to change the image size so HTML renderer on TextArea wouldn't be 
suffice.

Waiting for you enlightenment, Alex :)

[flexcoders] Re: TLF-based TextArea for Flex 3?

[handitan]

Hi Alex,

I am glad that you're still around ^_^
The requirement to position images is very important especially to center it.
The other thing that's important is allowing the user to resize the 
inserted-images.

So Flex 3's TextArea doesn't suffice.

Waiting for your enlighntenment, Alex :)

Thank you!

[flexcoders] TLF-based TextArea for Flex 3?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I currently have to deal with a feature that needs to allow user to position 
the image inline with the text at a grid cell.
>From what I read, the current best bet would be to use Text Layout Framework 
>(TLF).
>From the samples, it seems exactly to do what I need.

But when I try to integrate it as itemRenderer in the grid, the TextFlow 
couldn't appear correctly. It's just showing it as a tiny pixel on the top-left 
corner of the grid cell.

I know that the TextArea in Flex 4 does support TLF but I will not be able to 
use it since my application is still under Flex 3.6 SDK (don't bother to tell 
me to migrate to Flex 4).

So I am just wondering if anyone know any open-source TLF-based TextArea for 
Flex3 or maybe giving me some guides on how to make it work as itemRenderer?

Thank you!

[flexcoders] Any recommendation for a commercial Flex 3 WYSIWYG rich text editor?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I am looking for a commercial Flex 3 WYSIWYG rich text editor, like for example 
this one:
http://www.atomwrite.com/index.html

And I need it to have the export-to-XHTML ability.

Any recommendation?

Thanks!

PS: If you know a free one, I will take that too :)

[flexcoders] Repost: Adobe AIR 1.5.1: issue on opening encrypted DB

[handitan]

Hi all, 

  
I got a sqlite DB that's encrypted with AES256 using sqlite3 command line tool: 

sqlite3.exe -key test123Test test.db 

  
I able to do this encryption because I bought the SEE license. 

  
And I did test that the encryption does work, I could not view the DB content 
directly using the DB Admin Tool I have but I could view the content using the 
sqlite3 command line tool. 

I believe the reason why my DB Admin Tool couldn't work because it doesn't have 
the SEE license. 

  
Anyway, I tried to open this with ADOBE AIR and I did make sure passing the 
encryption key as part of the argument. 

But what I got is an error msg: 


Error message: Error #3125: Unable to open the database file. 

Details: An encryption key cannot be specified when the database is not 
encrypted. 


  
So this brings me to this question: 

- What kind of SQLite encryption does ADOBE AIR really supports? 

- Does ADOBE have SEE license? 

  
Please enlighten me. 

  
Thx!

[flexcoders] HTTPService DELETE/PUT automatically got changed to GET??

[handitan]

Hi all,

I just would like to get a confirmation.
Right now, I have to use 3rd party REST APIs in our Flex app.
A bunch of the REST APIs are using DELETE and PUT method.

As the title said, they got changed automatically to GET.
And from what I gather from this forum somebody said this in 2008:
"It's a limitation of the browser plugin API unfortunately."

Is this still true in Flash Player 10.3?
My app is still Flex 3 app with 3.5 SDK.

I appreciate any input.

Handi

@Alex:
Yes..yes..I am still using Flex 3.

[flexcoders] Re: How to clear cached RSL programmatically?

[handitan]

Hi Alex,

Thx for your explanation.
Based on what you just said, my understanding is that the answer to the 
question that I put out on the scenario is RSL from Step 1 would be the one 
that's still got loaded.

And you mentioned before the solution is publish new ones.
When you said that, I assume that you meant that the RSL has to use the 
version-suffix filename i.e. RSL_ver1.2.swf.

Appreciate the help.

[flexcoders] Re: Is there a tool to detect whether the loaded swf is from browser's cache?

[handitan]

Hi ouaqa,

Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
The index.template has to be updated and if you're using modules, your code has 
to be updated too. I actually posted a link that shows you how to do that. 
Search for "RSL" on this forum under my name. The subject should say something 
like "How to clear RSL cache"

The reason why I need to know if there's a tool to detect this is because I am 
confused on the "Response Duration" from Charles between 1st time the swf is 
loaded and the later.
The diff is like ranging between 20 - 30 ms.

I was expecting the "Response Duration" on the later to be almost hitting 0 ms 
since it's loaded from the browser-cache.

[flexcoders] Is there a tool to detect whether the loaded swf is from browser's cache?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I am just wondering if there's a tool to detect whether the loaded swf is from 
browser's cache or not?

Appreciate it.

Thx!

[flexcoders] Re: How to clear cached RSL programmatically?

[handitan]

Hi Alex!

Great to hear from you as always.
I don't understand what do you mean by framework never revs RSLs? What's revs?

Proably it would be better for my understanding if I use this scenario:
1. The following have been deployed:
- Main_ver1.0.swf
- Module_ver1.0.swf
- RSL.swf

2. Our clients have loaded and cached thosed in their browser. 
 
3. Then all those got update, now it becomes:
- Main_ver1.1.swf
- Module_ver1.1.swf
- RSL.swf <-- this got updated but it's still using the same filename.

4. And they all got deployed.

Now I know for sure our client will get the Main_ver1.1 and Module_ver1.1 
without having them clear the browser-cache manually but which RSL are they 
going to get?
Is it going to be the one from Step 1 or from Step 3?

Thank you!

[flexcoders] How to clear cached RSL programmatically?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I posted one of this question on a thread that's related to caching but since 
it got hijacked by a totally different topic, I decided to create a new thread. 
If you're going to talk different stuff, please make a new thread.

The issue that was raised because client doesn't load the newest and greatest 
of your deployed app because it loads from the browser cache.

To resolve this issue, please read this stackOverfow thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/300757/preventing-flex-application-caching-in-browser-multiple-modules

Now that solution works for the main swf and module swfs but what about RSL?

How do you guarantee that the loaded RSL is the latest one?

Thank you.

[flexcoders] Re: How to clear cache for all major browsers (IE, Mozilla, Safari and Chrome)

[handitan]

You're not reading the qs correctly.

I am reposting my qs here:
I have a diff question relating to this caching issue.
My app is composed with a main-swf, a library-swf (RSL), and several 
module-swfs.

To my understanding, this incrementing-build-version solution only 
applies to the main-swf.
So that means the library-swf and module-swfs that I updated would 
be loaded from the browser-cache instead of from the server.
Is my understanding correct?

Thx!

[handitan]

Thx Tracy!

I have a diff question relating to this caching issue.
My app is composed with a main-swf, a library-swf, and several module-swfs.

To my understanding, this incrementing-build-version solution only applies to 
the main-swf.
So that means the library-swf and module-swfs that I updated would be loaded 
from the browser-cache instead of from the server.
Is my understanding correct?

Hi Cato or anyone,


Where do you put that change?
Is it on this part of index.template.html?

else if (hasRequestedVersion) {
// if we've detected an acceptable version
// embed the Flash Content SWF when all tests are passed
AC_FL_RunContent(
"src", "${swf}?version=1.0",
"width", "${width}",
"height", "${height}",

Thanks for the help!

[handitan]

@Amy:
I sort of found out why I was having issue in assigning the token.
For some reasons that I still don't know, the ws resend is always failing due 
to "Parameter-fault" message, which is weird because I put all the same 
arguments that I passed in on the 1st ws call.

Hmmm

[flexcoders] AIR update for non-admin users?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I am too late to realize that AIR automatic-updater could only be done by users 
with admin rights.
>From my reading so far, there's no indication that it's going to change.

So I hope there're people out there would be willing to share some alternative 
ways to update AIR app other than using AIR automatic-updater.

While I am waiting, I am going to politely answering my clients who are asking 
"Why I couldn't update??" questions.

Thank you for reading.

I need some advices on how-to solve the issue that I am having.
On my Flex application, I have a singleton class that contains 1 WebService 
instance which serves every services.

It has been working fine but I miss-out a very important issue that I should 
have think of beforehand which is being able to resend the service again that 
was failed either due to a TimeOut or the infamous "2032"

On the web, I found an example that I think it put me on the right track:
http://flexmonkeypatches.com/flex-webservice-with-auto-repeat-and-increasing-timeout/

It's a good solution but I just need to investigate more on how-to incorporate 
this to my singleton class because:
1) On each service call, I save lots of infos on the AsyncToken such as 
resultHandler, faultHandler, etc.
2) On that example, resending the service call by doing "op.send(args)." I 
don't know yet on how-to copy over all saved infos from the previous 
service-call's token into this new one.

That's the approach that I am taking right now.
But I am open to any suggestion.

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Adobe AIR 1.5.1: issue on opening encrypted DB

[handitan]

Hi all,

 
I got a sqlite DB that's encrypted with AES256 using sqlite3 command line tool:

sqlite3.exe -key test123Test test.db

 
I able to do this encryption because I bought the SEE license.

 
And I did test that the encryption does work, I could not view the DB content 
directly using the DB Admin Tool I have but I could view the content using the 
sqlite3 command line tool.

I believe the reason why my DB Admin Tool couldn't work because it doesn't have 
the SEE license.

 
Anyway, I tried to open this with ADOBE AIR and I did make sure passing the 
encryption key as part of the argument.

But what I got is an error msg:


Error message: Error #3125: Unable to open the database file.

Details: An encryption key cannot be specified when the database is not 
encrypted.


 
So this brings me to this question:

- What kind of SQLite encryption does ADOBE AIR really supports?

- Does ADOBE have SEE license?

 
Please enlighten me.

 
Thx! 

[flexcoders] Re: AIR 1.5.1 Transaction issue: when begin() is called, it doesn't do anything.

[handitan]

Hi Sean,

Thx for the suggestions.
I believe that I am kind of have an idea on what causing the issue of this 
transaction to suddently stop working.
Since I thought it might be 1.5.1 SDK issue, so I build it using 1.5.2 SDK but 
the result is the same. 
All I can tell right now is this issue seems to only appear on Windows but not 
on Mac. Both have AIR runtime version 1.5.2.

So be warn for those of you who are using transaction heavily (my app needs to 
do at least lots of transaction where each transaction process 10 - 200 
inserts).

I am still building this app through FlexBuilder. Will migrate to Ant pretty 
soon.

[flexcoders] AIR 1.5.1 Transaction issue: when begin() is called, it doesn't do anything.

[handitan]

Hi all,

I have this weird issue that I am having.
I am using transaction on this function call functA(). And functA() has been 
called many times, the transaction worked perfect.

BUT...for a reason that I still don't know, the transaction sometimes will not 
work.
And it seems that this phenomenon only happens on the release build because I 
couldn't reproduce it at all when I am debugging it.

How do I find out that the issue was the transaction on release build?
I log the before I call transaction begin, and its result and fault handler. I 
notice that the begin got called but it never got to neither result nor fault 
handler, which just baffled me.
And I did make sure my transaction listener are NOT using weak references.

Here's a snip of the code if you are curious:

public class AsyncTransactionClass extends EventDispatcher
{
   public function functA():void
   {
 sqlStatement = new SQLStatement;
 sqlStatement.text = "some query";
 sqlStatement.sqlConnection = ;

sqlStatement.sqlConnection.addEventListener(SQLEvent.BEGIN,transactionSetupResultHandler);
  
sqlStatement.sqlConnection.addEventListener(SQLErrorEvent.ERROR,transactionSetupFaultHandler);
  

 sqlStatement.sqlConnection.begin();
   }

   private function transactionSetupResultHandler(pEvent:SQLEvent):void
   {
 trace("I AM AT RESULT");
   }

   private function transactionSetupFaultHandler(pEvent:SQLErrorEvent):void
   {
 trace("I AM AT FAULT");
   }
}

Does anyone else have this problem?
I am really out of ideas now on how to solve this.

Thank you.

Hi all,

I just downloaded AIR 1.5.2 SDK.
I had made sure to change my application descriptor file to the 1.5.2 namespace.

When I do an export release build, this is the error msg that I got:

[flexcoders] ADOBE AIR: Is it possible to move some files to appStorage during installation?

[handitan]

Hi all,

To my knowledge, it's not possible unless it's being done through 
programmatically.

I have some sqlite DBs as part of my AIR package. I would like to have those 
DBs completely moved to the application storage when the package is installed 
on my client computer.

Any ideas?

Thx!

If you do insertion to table A, B, C, etc simultaneously, your app will hung-up.

I made a queue system to handle multiple insertion op. It works great!

[flexcoders] Re: ADOBE AIR Qs: How do you load modules from "app-storage" domain?

[handitan]

Hi Alex!

Good to hear from you.
And yes, you're right! I got it to work but there's so much code involved just 
to get this module loaded.
Gosh...I wonder if I am in the right direction or not...

This code is basically based on "Hai Nguyen" example from eSoftHead with little 
modification (Thx Hai!).
Here's the code if anyone is interested:


private function loadSwf():void
{
var dir:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory
dir = dir.resolvePath("SimpleSwf.swf");//SimpleSwf is the
module

var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(dir.url);
var myURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myURLLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
myURLLoader.load(myURLRequest);

myURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadModuleCompleteHandler);
}

private function loadModuleCompleteHandler(pEvent:Event):void
{
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.allowLoadBytesCodeExecution = true;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;

var moduleLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(pEvent.target);
moduleLoader.loadBytes(loader.data,context);
moduleLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeLoader);
}

private function completeLoader(e:Event): void {
var moduleLoader:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(e.target);
moduleLoader.content.addEventListener("ready", readyHandler);
}



private function readyHandler(e:Event): void {
var factory:IFlexModuleFactory = IFlexModuleFactory(e.target);
var module:Module = factory.create() as Module;
container.addChild(module);

}

[flexcoders] ADOBE AIR Qs: How do you load modules from "app-storage" domain?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I am using AIR 1.5 SDK.
I am trying to find a way to build patching mechanism for my AIR app, which 
consists modules, sqlite DBs, and other files, by updating ONLY files that need 
to be updated.

I know that this is not possible using AIR Update Framework because the way I 
understand it works is that any update that you have both minor and major, you 
will have to reinstall everything. This is a pain if you have a huge size AIR 
app.

I have sort of an idea to build my own update mechanism but in order for this 
to work, I will need to be able to do update operation on my AIR app files.

Since "app" domain doesn't allow us to do that, I have to find a place where 
updates can take place and my app could still work. I read that "app-storage" 
allows you to do all of that.

Okay... so I build a really simple AIR app that the sole purpose is to load swf 
module from "app-storage" to prove my theory.

So here's my AIR app code the short version:


   
private function loadSwf():void
{
  var dir:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory
  dir = dir.resolvePath("SimpleSwf.swf");//SimpleSwf is the 
module
 
  var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(dir.url);
  var myURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  myURLLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
  myURLLoader.load(myURLRequest);
  
myURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadModuleCompleteHandler);
}

 private function loadModuleCompleteHandler(pEvent:Event):void
{
  var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
  context.allowLoadBytesCodeExecution = true;
  context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
 
  var moduleLoader:Loader = new Loader();
  var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(pEvent.target);
  moduleLoader.loadBytes(loader.data,context);
   
  container.addChild(moduleLoader);
} 


   


   


The result is:
When I click the button "Load SWF", I could see that the loader loads the SWF 
correctly (it got the right size, etc) but I didn't see the module shows up on 
the screen at all.
I didn't know what I do wrong.

Please enlighten me.

[flexcoders] SQLite:Simultaneous multiple-insert in async mode with a single DB connection?

[handitan]

Alright fellas,

Spill out the secret.
When I do the multiple-insertion simultaneously, those operations just stopped 
and any new transaction-transaction op request is ignored.

My idea so far is to put any new transaction-request in a queue if a 
transaction is currently in the process, and then after that transaction is 
finished then do the next transaction-request from the queue.

Thx!


 

[flexcoders] Re: Any working example on SQlite transaction in Async mode

[handitan]

Yes, you can use transaction in Async mode but it will not be as easy as sync.

On Async, this is what you need to do:
- Before you call begin(), your sqlStatement needs to listen for SQLEvent.BEGIN.
- When SQLEvent.BEGIN is thrown, your sqlStatement needs to listen for 
SQLEvent.RESULT for your insertion query. Your insertion query can only be 
executed one at a time, meaning after a SQLEvent.Result is thrown.
- Finally, your sqlStatement needs to listen for SQLEvent.COMMIT before you 
call commit().

And that's your transaction in Async mode.
Btw, I didn't add "listening to SQLEventError" on the instruction because I am 
just too lazy to type it :)

Since it's a pain to do this big-Async-code everytime you are going to do a 
transaction, my suggestion is make a class that dedicates for transaction 
operation.

That's the easy part.
Right now, I am in the middle of confusion on how to handle 
multiple-transaction for insertion. The insertion just failed on that scenario. 
I will write this on another thread :)

Well, I wrote a small test app and do a bit of my own stress-testing. It seems

Every call that I did got throw the SQL event as it should.

Yeah, It was definitely something with what I did before.

[flexcoders] Warning message when trying to install AIR app on Mac

[handitan]

Hi all,

I build the AIR package on Windows and then when I tried to install it on a 
Mac, I got the following msg:
'You are opening the application "Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe Windows 
XP" for the first time. Are you sure you want to open this application?'

What does this mean?
My guess is AIR package build on Windows cannot be installed on Mac.

Please enlighten me.

[flexcoders] AIR SQLite:Does anyone have this issue with DB connected asynchronously?

[handitan]

Hi all,

Before I present the issue, I am listing my FB and SDK versions:
- FlexBuilder 3.0.2
- AIR SDK 1.5
- Flex SDK 3.3 milestone build.
All the latest good stuffs.

Now, I have an issue with DB that's connected asynchronously doesn't ALWAYS 
firing SQLEvent.RESULT or SQLErrorEVENT.ERROR whenever a SQL statement is 
executed.

For example:
I got a login screen with login textInput, password textInput, and login 
button. When the login button is clicked, it does a query to check whether the 
login and password exist in the DB.
And events will be fired accordingly if it's a success or not.

HOWEVER, the events don't always fired! Sometimes it fires but sometimes it's 
not. It's happening intermittently.

Does anyone else have this issue??

Btw, I don't have this issue at all when I have my DB opened synchronously. 
Unfortunately, working with it has some big challenges as well. So if I can get

[flexcoders] Re: flash.events and flash.net library don't exist in Flex SDK 3.3.0.4852 ??

[handitan]

Alright, I got it to work. It's my fault.
The issue was due to my FB which was in version 3.0.0.
After I upgraded to 3.0.2, everything works fine.

I have posted some steps on the ADOBE FLEX SDK FORUM that I need to take in 
order for my previous AIR app to work with the debugger.
Here's the link:

Man, I really hope that this is just a mistake and it will be fixed

Well, I also post this question on "Flex SDK" forum.

Still waiting for the reply...

[flexcoders] flash.events and flash.net library don't exist in Flex SDK 3.3.0.4852 ??

[handitan]

This is strange...

Flex SDK 3.3.0.4852 is the latest stable build but it doesn't have 
these 2 packages:
- flash.events
- flash.net

I checked my SDK 3.0 (milestone build) and it does have those 
packages.

However those packages do appear when I enable the "Include ADOBE AIR 
libraries" option.

Are these packages accidentally got removed from Flex SDK 3.3.0.4852?? 
Or are they actually permanently got removed?

I would like to clear one thing:
- The .Net webservice returns the bytearray-conversion of a SQLite

[flexcoders] "AIR update framework" only works to update AIR file?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I have been reading articles about using "AIR update framework."
To my understanding this only works to update AIR file??

I hope I am wrong...
Since my AIR app is using Flex-only swcs and is loading Flex-only 
modules.

Anybody can shed a light on this? 

[flexcoders] How to read the received ByteArray as SQLite?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I have a .Net webservice the bytearray-conversion of a SQLite file.
My client call the webservice and I received the byteArray as expected 
but I couldn't treat it as SQLite until I do the following:
- Write the byteArray to a file with .db extension.
- Then open the SQLConnection to that file.

So is there a way to treat the byteArray as SQLite without saving it 
first to the local storage and read it?

Thx!

[flexcoders] Re: Discussing "Shared Codebase between Flex and AIR project"

[handitan]

Hi Gregor,

Thank you for your suggestion.
It took me a while to digest your suggestion but I think I got a 
working example.
If I had followed your suggestion correctly, the "front end" is 
becoming fat.
What I meant by that is the front end is where all interface 
implementations resided and have those implementations assigned to the 
appropriate classes, which the modules are going to be using.

I hope that I interpret your suggestion correctly.

[flexcoders] Discussing "Shared Codebase between Flex and AIR project"

[handitan]

Hi gang,

Yes, it's another one :) But I am going to approach it a different 
way.
My question is based on David Coletta's MAX presentation.
If you haven't seen his presentation, please watch here:
http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f15384v1022

The slides are available here:
http://www.slideshare.net/dcoletta/DavidColettaArchitecting-a-Shared-
Codebase-for-Browser-and-DesktopFinal

To everyone who has seen his presentations, could you help me out in 
understanding how his "Browser SWFs included in AIR file" works to 
solve the "Shared code packaging" ?

This is what I understand on what he did with that approach:
1. Only have one AIR project that contains all AIR implementation.
2. Each of your module's common functionality, extract them out to an 
interface and then have Flex-specific and AIR-specific class 
implements the interface.

So I am kind of get the idea but I have a very hard time understanding 
on how he was able to get each module to have the AIR project to serve 
the module's AIR-implementation needs?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] How do you all setup your development environment?

[handitan]

Hi all,

I would like to get an idea how people setup their development
environment.
Let me share a bit of how I set it up (this is still work in progress,
btw):

IDE:
FlexBuilder 3 with Ant Build Tool plugin.

Workspace:
My app is consisted with multiple modules. Each module is in its own
project, and each project has its own Ant-build script.

Project configuration:
Each project's builder only points to Ant-build script so that I can
ensure the Ant-build script will also run smoothly in the Build server.

For production release:
Use a build server that runs the Ant-build script.

Feedback:

Pros:
- Please see 'Project configuration' section.

Cons:
- Sometimes if there's any build error, my compiler won't stop at the
error. It will just continue to execute other Ant-build script.
- And if the compiler stops on an Ant-build due to an error, I don't
have the luxury to be able to go directly to the file that causes the
error because the error output is just a text on the Console.

With so much trouble that I encountered by using Ant-build script on my
FlexBuilder, I am thinking to revert back to Flex-build on my
FlexBuilder but still building using Ant-build script on BuildServer.

I appreciate for any feedback, thx.

[flexcoders] Flex 3: Async Token will not remember the "injected" function and properties.

[handitan]

Hi all,

I have made a webservice calling and handling system based on the 
code sample from this blog:
http://techpolesen.blogspot.com/2007/11/coping-with-flex-asynchronous-
remote.html

The token will retain the injected callbackFunction if and only if 
the load wsdl operation is successful (this is the code: 
remoteService.loadWSDL();).
What makes is successful? A valid wsdl url.

If you have an invalid wsdl url, all the injected functions and 
properties will be forgotten.

Does anyone know a way to have the token still retain the injected 
function and properties?

Thank you.

[flexcoders] Feedback on my "Image-caching" code

[handitan]

Hi all,

I am trying to find a simple solution on caching images into the memory.

I had written a code to do that and it seemed to be working but I am
pretty sure there are things that I had missed.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.



I am using associative array to store the Bitmap and using the image URL
path as the key.

Here's how the code works in general:

- You select which image that you want to load by choosing one of the
image's name in the comboBox.

- The selected image's name will be appended to a URL where the image is
located. Let's called this new appended string: "newImgURL"

- Check to see if "newImgURL" is existed in the associative array. If it
is existed, then load the cached-bitmap else pass "newImgURL"  to
imageObj.source.

- If it's passed to imageObj.source, the imageObj will throw a
"complete" event. On the completeEventHandler, cached the imageObj's
Bitmap to the associative array.

Here's the code:



http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="horizontal" creationComplete="imageInit()">

[flexcoders] Re: PopUpButton issue

[handitan]

Doing it on "addedToStage" event somehow doesn't work well for my

Instead of doing it on "addedToStage", I did in "removedFromStage" 
event.
This prevents the crashing problem completely.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3: Cloning WebService instance

[handitan]

After spending quite some time with mixed result in webservice 
introspection, I decided to holdoff using it until the hotfix comes 
out.

I did find something that might fully serve my purpose. So far, it 
has been working well.
Check this out:

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3: Cloning WebService instance

[handitan]

With what I want to achieve, webservices that I am referring to are 
instances of the same webservices (one single url).

Single WebService instance will not work on my application because my 
app sometimes need to call different/same operations concurrently.

I do want to mention the issue I am facing if I am not using the 
cloning-approach.
Please take a look at this code:
 class CustomWS
 {
   public getWS():WebService
   {
 var myWS:WebService = new WebService;
 myWS.wsdl = "http://BoogaBooga/coolFlex.asmx?wsdl";;
 myWS.loadWSDL();
   }

   public populateGridWS():void
   {
 var ws:WebService = getWS();
 ws.populateGrid();
   }
 }

As you can see each time getWS() is being called, wsdl needs to be 
loaded, which calling HTTP request.
That's why I would like to clone the webservice instance (myWS) after 
the wsdl has been loaded so that I can reuse it.

But if you do have other suggestions on how to resolve this in a 
better way, I am all ears :)

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3: Cloning WebService instance

[handitan]

Hi Peeyush,

It's kind of long to explain it but in short, this is to help me 
centralize all my webservice call into one location.

So instead of having  in every component, I am just 
calling webservice from a class that contains all the WebServices.
i.e.

class CustomWS
{
  public getWS():WebService
  {
//This is where the cloning takes place
  }

  public populateGridWS():void
  {
var ws:WebService = getWS();
ws.populateGrid();
  }
}

Hope this is pretty clear.

[flexcoders] Flex 2.0.1: DataGridColumn width expands to the longest string

[handitan]

Hi all,

I know that this issue has been brought several times in this forum 
but as far as I read there's no solution to this yet.

Basically, there are 2 things that I want to do:
1. I would like the dataGridColumn width to expand to its longest 
string. 
2. This should only happen when the grid is displayed on the 1st time.

Way that I was doing to tackle the issue:
- I made a custom DataGridColumn that enables me to calculate the 
longest string length (fyi,I don't know how to determine the pixel 
size so I just use some number <-- if you know how to get the pixel 
size, please let me know) by inspecting the string whenever 
itemToLabel function is called and assign that value to width.
Unfortunately, the result is very messy. The column is not just 
rendering correctly and you cannot resize the column anymore.


Anyway, I would like to get some ideas on how you all would take this 
issue.

Thank you for reading!

Hi Muzak,

Thank you for the suggestion.
Hmmm..how do you transform it to a BitmapData? So far I haven't 
gotten any success out of it.

[handitan]

I try to use SuperImage but I couldn't get it to work as an 
itemRenderer.

If there's any other way besides using SuperImage, I am all ears.

[flexcoders] Flex 2.0.1: Calling all Flex Masters for this interesting printing format issue

[handitan]

I have been trying to solve this issue for days but still couldn't 
find the right solution.

I am going to make as simple as I can about the issue.
Here's the situation:
I have this DataGrid

  
 
 
 

===
Now here's the NameRenderer's definition:

   






==

Now, the grid displays fine in my flex app. Then I added a 
functionality to be able to print the grid using almost exactly the 
same like in this example:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/printing/PrintDataGrid.htm
l#includeExamplesSummary
with the following exceptions:
- My FormPrintView doesn't have the all of the  stuffs in 
PrintDataGrid.
- Inside my doPrint() (this is in PrintDataGridExample section) under
 thePrintView.myDataGrid.dataProvider = myDataGrid.dataProvider 
statement, I add this:
thePrintView.myDataGrid.columns = myDataGrid.columns;
==
Now when I print it out, everything is working fine and dandy (good 
job Flex team!).

Then one day, I was told to do a "bit" change. The Printouts need to 
be in font-size 8 instead of 14. The grid looks great on the web 
using font-size 14 but when it is being printed out, it needs to be 
in font-size 8.

So my question is how do you do that?
Just to let you know, these were the things that I try:
- In my FormPrintView, I added this attribute 'fontSize="8"'. I 
thought that this will take care the problem but it didn't. It wasn't 
overriding myLabel's fontSize.
- Then I do another way using Bindable strategy, this is what I did:
== Create a global variable to store the font size.

  package myGlobals
  {
 [Bindable]
 public class GlobalFont
 {
public static const DEFAULT_SIZE:int = 14;
public static const PRINT_SIZE:int = 8;
public static var myFontSize:int = DEFAULT_SIZE;
 }
  }

==Then in NameRenderer, I change myLabel to be like this:


==Then on my doPrint(), I add this before I assign the dataProvider 
and columns to thePrintView.myDataGrid:
GlobalFont.myFontSize = GlobalFont.PRINT_SIZE

==Then I do the print.
Result: It prints out with the font-size 8 :) But the Flex app will 
show all my grid's column content to be shifted off the column after 
I scroll the grid up/down (you have to have large data that will have 
the vertical scroll bar to appear). You can fix the display again but 
clicking the column's header.

Again I call all Flex Masters to share your wisdom in this matter.
I have been given a deadline to fix this by early next week. So all 
ideas/suggestions/anything will help.

Thank you!

[flexcoders] Flex 2.0.1: itemRenderer won't get printed using PrintDataGrid

[handitan]

Hi,

I have an interesting problem here.
FYI, I have searched through the forum, and reading the docs but I 
still couldn't find the solution. I think I do know what's the 
problem.

Here's the situation:
I have a datagrid with 3 columns. One of the columns has an 
itemRenderer that will display an image. This itemRenderer loads the 
images in REAL-TIME <--- this is important for the issue that I am 
going to point out.
The image got displayed when I run the app ,and when I print the 
dataGrid by having it as a child of FlexPrintJob object will also 
print out the image.

Now here comes the problem:
As you all know, it's better to use PrintDataGrid for optimization, 
well-formatted output, yada yada 

So I include PrintDataGrid in my print function, assigning it with 
the neccessary dataProvider and columns, here's the example:
-
printView.thePrintDataGrid.dataProvider = dataGridSource.dataProvider;
printView.thePrintDataGrid.columns = dataGridSource.columns;
-
And then add printView to the FlexPrintJob obj as its child:
-
printJob.addObject(printView);
-

After that, I ask the dataGrid to be printed again and the image 
won't be printed out.
So after quite long investigation, I found out that the images don't 
get displayed because thePrintDataGrid doesn't have enough time to 
load the images. If I embed the image in compile-time using @Embed 
yada..yada..., the image will be printed but I don't want it to be in 
compile-time.

Please enlighten this grasshopper.

[flexcoders] Couldn't find item renderer in the event

[handitan]

Hi,

I have a datagridColumn's itemRenderer is being set to CheckBox.

I use a custom datagrid for this so that I would be able to capture the 
mouseEvent.

When I got the event, I couldn't find the property that tells me the 
CheckBox in the row that I selected.

If I remember correctly, which I doubt coz I have been working late, 
the flex doc said that it is not included on the event or something.

Thank you!

[flexcoders] Question: DataGridColumn sorting with Boolean value

[handitan]

Hi,

I have a datagrid column that filled with Boolean value. Since the 
built-in sorting could not handle this type, I have to make my own 
sort function but I have failed so far :(

This is my compare function:
public function sortBoolean(pObj1:Object, pObj2:Object):int 
{   
//isDefault is a Boolean value
varvalue1:int = obj1.isDefault ? 1 : 0;
var value2:int= obj2.isDefault ? 1 : 0;

if (value1 < value2) {
return -1;
} else if (value1 > value2) {
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}

Whenever I use this sortBoolean, the rows that have isDefault 
to 'True' are being placed not accordingly.

I did try to use string value and use the built-in sorting function 
and it works perfect but unfortunately, I need to use boolean value 
for my project  :(

Please help.

[flexcoders] Checkbox needs to have the same behavior like 'ctrlkey+mouse click' in datagrid

[handitan]

Hi,

I have a datagrid that allows me to do select multiple rows by holding 
down ctrlkey and clicking each row, and it also allows me to drag those 
rows to a tree.

Now, I have been told to replicate this same behavior but with checkbox.

So I already have checkbox as part of the datagridColumn but I got 
confused on how to solve this after my first solution failed.

My solution was I am dispatching the ctrkey event to dataGrid and let 
the dataGrid does it magic in saving the selected row as I mouseclick 
the row. 


public function chkBoxHandler(event:Event):void
{
myGrid.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent
(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,true,false,0,17,1,true));
}












... and there are multiple other DataGridColumns

Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Bypass browser's popUpBlocker

[handitan]

Hi all,

I have been doing some research on how to bypass the browser's (IE 6/7 
and FireFox 2.0) popUpBlocker since by using  just won't work 
when you want to open a page on a new window. 
I found a way that it seemed to be working but I want to see if you all 
maybe notice something wrong with it.


So this is how I did it:
I have a  with below properties are being set:
- condenseWhite = true;
- selectable = true;
- link="linkHandler(event)"
- htmlText property is being set to this string (disregard the hyphen):
--



  Home document


---
**
This is the mx:Script for linkHandler:

import flash.events.TextEvent;
public function linkHandler(event:TextEvent):void { 
ExternalInterface.call("popitup", event.text);
}
**
This is the definition of popitup function in index.template.html:
function popitup(url) {
var newwindow=window.open(url, "");
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
return false;
}
**

I tested in IE and FireFox. They load Home.pdf in a new window without 
any problem.

Please let me know if you notice anything wrong with this or maybe if 
you can suggest a better way.

PS:
If you try to test this in your computer with IE as the browser, 
clicking the link won't give you anything. I think there's a problem 
with trying to resolve the relative path but it works if you put it on 
a webserver.
