[flexcoders] problem embedding an icon in a popupmenu
I am trying to get a menu to display some icons, and I cant get them to show up. The code I have written is based on the sample code for creating a popup menu and the sample code for creating a list where they show you how to include an icon. But the two examples are different enough that I may not be merging them together right.
The other thing that is odd is, if you look at the code you will se a line that looks like this: myMenu.labelField=@label
I dont know why I need the @ here at all. But without it the label doesnt show up whereas with it it does. But for the following line myMenu.labelField=@icon
The icons dont show up.I know that I am embedding the icon properly because the code also embeds one of the same icons inside the button.Any help appreciated.Hank?xml version=

Re: [flexcoders] Re: problem embedding an icon in a popupmenu
lol.Just five minutes ago I switched to an array and got it working.It looks like you cant create a field of type class in an xml object, or at least I wasnt able to. It seems to want to interpret it as text. When putting braces around it it doesnt work either.
But you are right. It was the wrong strategy anyway because the icon is left justified, so it looks wierd. I am just (today) playing with itemRenderers so I will give that a shot. In fact this popup is being used inside an itemrenderer that is inside a datagrid! So it looks like I will just have to do the next level :)
Thanks for taking a look. It was driving me crazy.HankOn 7/16/06, Tim Hoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi Hank,
I couldn't get this to work with xml. So, I changed the dataProvider to an array and used an iconFunction. It works, but if you select an icon, when the menu is displayed a second time the icon is also used as the selected icon. For what you are trying to do, I would recommend that you use an itemRenderer for your menu items. That way you can still use xml and control the positioning of the icon image. I know that you have asked this question a couple of time, so I thought I would give it a try. I can see why you are having problems with this.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: problem embedding an icon in a popupmenu
Yes... but how do you assign an itemRenderer to a menu.You cant use mxml which takes care of the typing niceties.the problem is that you cant do this: myMenu= Menu.createMenu(parent, menuData, false);
myMenu.itemRenderer=ThumbPopUpRenderer;Where ThumbPopUpRenderer is an MXML component. It gives you a type error because itemRenderer is of type IFactory and ThumbPopupRenderer is not.
But if you do this: myMenu= Menu.createMenu(parent, menuData, false); myMenu.itemRenderer=ThumbPopUpRenderer as IFactory;It runs, but apparently an MXML itemRenderer is not of the right type, so it throws a runtime error.
Any ideas?HankOn 7/16/06, hank williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

[flexcoders] making a buttons initial state only include the contents.
I want to create a standard flex button, but where the initial state of the button only shows the text of the button. When you roll over the button, all of the rest of the flex buttonstuff would appear. So in the on rolled over text, the button would just look like plain text. I know I could somehow just make skins for everything, but that seems like a very complex solution where I want to use almost all of the standard button functionality.Does anybody know if this is possible.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Spring Enable Flex
Actually, I very much doubt there is a clean mapping between spring configuration and FDS. There are things that are very FDS specific even for just remoting, which would most cleanly map to spring. And then there are other concepts that are totally different than what would have been considered in the design of spring configuration. Apples and oranges, I'm afraid.RegardsHankOn 7/14/06, Allen Riddle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the replies. But when I say "Spring Enable Flex", I mean Spring enable the flex services configuration. So you wire up all of the configuration (I'm assuming the configuration files are just wiring up java objects) using Spring. This way, Spring can manage the FDS resources. Maybe it's not possible or a bad idea, but if you look at most open source projects (XFire for instance), a lot of them are configurable through Spring, which makes it very easy to use.

Re: [flexcoders] shadow lighting
Thanks guys. Those are great examples. With filters you can *really* make apps look unflexlike -lol.The great power of flex is how easy it is to do this stuff. The one downfall for people that are not careful is that all of their apps will look like aero. Although I guess thats ok, Mac users dont have a problem with all their apps looking the same.

I see it in the application bar and so I am thinking that I should be able to style a canvas to do it, but I cant seem to do it with the shadow related settings.

Re: [flexcoders] Unknown FDS error
Hey Peter,Just checking, did you see my last message on this?It appears that if you try to send to big an object or the wrong type of object you will get this. I was capturing a user input and sending it in my remoting call. so I was doing this:remoteobject.foo(someTextInput)when I should have been doingremoteobject.foo(someTextInput.text)This was reproducible.Also if you google the error that I got, you will see that in the google cache of the old labs website, the error is listed as part of FDS. There is no explanation (as there is for many of the other errors) but it is there. Its as if someone intended to document it but forgot. The error is *not* listed in the docs the final stuff and google turns up no such error on the final livedocs. If you would like, I would be happy to try to turn on debugging and see what is going on in more detail, though I suspect if you try to do what I did you will get the same error.RegardsHank On 7/13/06, Peter Farland [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Hank, Can you send me a test case, or can you try turning on sufficient debugging to watch what is going on at the endpoint?

FWIW, what is confusing to me is that 2099 is not in the format / range of our server side errors.

Re: [flexcoders] About Integrating Flex Data service with Flex Builder....
Oh, I see. You havent done anything but run the FDS installer.Well, are you familiar with running webapps in a servlet container? If not then it will be very difficult to help you because FDS is based on the assumption that you know how to use a container or a J2EE server. If you dont, you need read up. You need to understand what a .war file is, etc. I believe FDS comes with a container from adobe called jrun so you will need to install that version if you dont have a container. I didnt install with that one so I am not sure of the process but the first thing you want to do is get the samples running. Once you start jrun, the samples should be at http://localhost:8080/samples I think. Then, once you get samples up and running I would start looking at everything to see how they do it and then start adding my own code to gain an understanding. To do remoting, you are going to need to modify the remote-config.xml file which is in the WEB-INF/flex directory to add your own mappings for talking to your java objects.But again the first task is getting samples running.RegardsHank On 7/12/06, Mr.Unlimited [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Hank Yea mite be big. but m new t this buddy. maybe my installation s wrong or somethin.. i installed Builder and then DS...can u jus telme how to use DS in builder.

[flexcoders] viewstack design pattern issue
I have a viewstack (actually a tabnavigator) that has screens with data that comes from a server.I want to trigger the screen to go out and get new data only when: 1. the user enters the specific viewstack sub screen, and 2. when the data for that screen is dirty, based on some bound data that has triggered a changeSo as I see it, the screen needs to keep track of when the bound field has changed which should cause a call to get fresh data. This means that the screen must keep track of whether it is dirty. This seems like it must be a common scenario, and I am curious about how other people handle it. My first instinct was to create a base screen class from which all my screens could inherit. But I am curious whether cairngorm already handles this or whether this is even part of the scope of what it tries to cover. I am not using cairngorm right now, but may in the future. But understanding what is and isnt in its scope is important for me to start to understand. So anyway, this is a 2 part question.1. how do people handle this situation2. does cairngorm have some pre-packaged solution to this issue.Hank __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

Re: [flexcoders] viewstack design pattern issue
hmm... not quite the question I was asking.I presume there would be a dirty flag. My question is about the screens in the viewstack. I am trying to come up with a clean repeatable model for how a screen knows it should recall the server to grab more data. As an example, consider that all the screens have data that is dependent on a field called channel. When the user changes the channel, all the screens change, but I dont want them all to immediately run off and call the server when it might never be needed. So I am thinking that each screen would have to have its own copy of the data or some last changed at marker so that an individual screen can know that oh the channel changed because the current channge is not what it was last time the user opened me. With this knowledge, the screen can trigger a call to update by refreshing data that the screen needs. It just seems like this kind of thing screams for some kind or structured template/design pattern. But part of what I am seeing is that when you get into the mxml world it kinda encourages a sloppiness. You just stick a variable somewhere and throw a tag there. I am trying to figure out how to make the mxml for this clean templatable and readable, and while I can make the code work, the mxml piece is just ugly. It doesnt seem to lend itself to the kind of beautiful code I can do in AS2/3. Or perhaps I just dont really know what I am doing yet:) Anyway, I am just trying to figure out how to do this relatively simple thing in an elegant way.RegardsHankOn 7/11/06, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We use a dirty flag.

Other components can bind to the dirty flag and take appropriate actions, whether via a getter / setter or the binding tag. - Original Message - From: hank williams To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2006 9:20 AM Subject: [flexcoders] viewstack design pattern issue I have a viewstack (actually a tabnavigator) that has screens with data that comes from a server.I want to trigger the screen to go out and get new data only when: 1. the user enters the specific viewstack sub screen, and 2. when the data for that screen is dirty, based on some bound data that has triggered a changeSo as I see it, the screen needs to keep track of when the bound field has changed which should cause a call to get fresh data.

Re: [flexcoders] viewstack design pattern issue
Hank: Are you opening the same data multiple times,andyou require that related screens are observed ? I.e. update one, the other updates kind of thing? JasonNo, none of that. Actually just think of it like a television, where each of the screens is a different camera angle. So when you change the channel, the view in all of the screens is different. But I dont want to go get all that data unless the user actually goes to that screen. So each screen needs to know when the channel changed so it knows if the user comes to me I gotta refresh my data.

Re: [flexcoders] FDS question
Currently our thinking is to connect to the data through web services sending XML data to a JSO file that then will communicate with a JAVA based API back to the MySQL backend.What, if anythign would FDS bring to the table?Still not sure how it is better than XMLbased solution. It depends on what you are trying to do. For basic remoting (essentially RPC) it is much easier than sending XML data because you can send real objects back and forth and it automatically converts. Its almost like making local calls except for the results are asynchronous (which has its good and bad points). But if you already have a solution in place there is no reason to upset the apple cart. The area where there is at least theoretical benefit is in stuff that uses the messaging platform. There are two general areas that messaging is used. The first is to support the ability to maintain an up to date version of data between multiple clients. So if you have a database and one client changes some data then that data would change on the screens of other users who were looking at that data. The second area is using messaging in its raw form. By this I mean sending data or messages between connected clients. Imagine, for example a chat server. Not that this is the best example, but just so you get the idea. The issue here, for those of us familar with flash media server and other socket server technologies, is whether any of us would really use FDS for that purpose. It seems to me, and others who I have been discussing this, that FDS may be overkill and there may be more appropriate (read simpler) technologies like FMS. I think it will take some time to really understand where FDS fits in the application development world beyond remoting, for which it is very convenient. The issue though with using it for remoting is if you need to scale it gets very expensive. Before FDS, the remoting solutions were either free (open source) or under $1000 per server. FDS is 20k per server. Also a concern with FDS is the pricing structure.will each FDS file be considered a different app, therefore each one require a license ($6k or $20k)?If each app wasassigned only one processor on the VM based server would it be able to use FDS express??If you are using the same data model, I am sure that you are fine. I cant imagine (tho perhaps we should wait to hear this from adobe) that they would thing that different connected apps all working off the same data model would be different applications. I am just not seeing how FDS figures into the equasion.Is it faster? It is faster than XML because it is binary.if so how?Does itsave coding time? Yes if so how? By making access to java from flash feel like making local calls. It gives you freedom to just need to call a function and to be able to gain access to it woithout really thinking about it. Does it eliminate need for a java API? if so how?Dont quite understand this one. The idea with remoting is that you can call any of your java functions from flash.

Re: [flexcoders] file uploads
Hard to respond without seeing the code (a link or a paste of the text would be good). But I suspect the code presumes event handlers that are not implemented in the snippet you are using. fileRef needs at least one event handler to handle what the user does when he selects an item for upload, and lots of other stuff.
You need some code that looks like this: p_fileReference.addEventListener(Event.CANCEL, onCancel); p_fileReference.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete); p_fileReference.addEventListener(
IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError); p_fileReference.addEventListener(Event.OPEN, onOpen); p_fileReference.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);// p_fileReference.addEventListener(
SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler); p_fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onSelect);This code should be called when you instantiate the fileRefrence.the on parameters above are references to functions that handle events. Their declarations look something like this:
public function onSelect(p_event:Event) :void { public function onCancel(p_event:Event) :void { public function onOpen(p_event:Event) :void { public function onComplete (p_event:Event) :void {
public function onProgress (p_event:ProgressEvent):void{ public function onIOError(p_event:IOErrorEvent) :void {Hope this helps.RegardsHankOn 7/6/06,

completeHandler are undefined properties as well. I am declaring the var
fileRef, so i dont get why its doing this... very frustrating... -- diabetic? http://www.diabetesforums.com

[flexcoders] why does rowCount in DataGrid not match number of visible lines in grid
I am trying to discover the number of lines visible in a DataGrid. The actual number is 5.75, meaning that the last row is 3/4 visible. The problem is that the rowCount property is 7. I would think that the answer would be either 5 or 6. but not 7. So I am wondering, how is this calculated? Am I interpeting this wrong?

The answer appear to be that rowCount includes the header.

[flexcoders] How to properly subclass a component using mxml
I want to create a subclass of DataGrid. So far what I have done is to create a new MXML component that is based on DataGrid.The problem is that if I try to use the new component as if it was a dataGrid, certain things dont work. For example: myComp:BetterDataGrid mx:columns mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Song Name dataField=label/ mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Artist dataField=label/ /mx:columns/myComp:BetterDataGridin the above example, it doesnt like me using the columns construct to define the columns. In order to define columns in this way I need to put then in the actual BetterDataGrid component as opposed to in this instance. This makes it doggone hard to use BetterDataGrid as a generic better dataGrid since I cannot define its behavior on an instance by instance basis. I am sure what I am doing wrong here is simple, but I dont know what.Any insight appreciated.Hank __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!

[flexcoders] Re: How to properly subclass a component using mxml
One guess I have is that there are issues regarding using mxml to populate an *inherited* field. In this case columns is not a component, but a field which contains an Array of of DataGridColumn objects. But the error that flex gives indicates that it thinks columns is supposed to be a compoent because the error message is could not resolve mx:columns to a component implementation. Is it just the fact that columns doesnt have a capital letter that should tell the compiler that this is a field and not a component? Should it just be looking first for fields first and then components?This seems like a relatively basic issue. Someone out there must know!?

Re: [flexcoders] How to properly subclass a component using mxml
Hi jeremy,Thank you very much. That was not it but it was close. The answer was not that mx needed to be deleted but that it needed to match the parent namespace.

[flexcoders] conversion to flex2 final *hell*
So i have not wanted to do it. because I just knew it wouldnt work right. And I wanted to remain productive. But finally I had to give in and install flex2 final because I have a problem that is almost certainly a flex2 beta3 problem. So The first thing I did was uninstall beta 3. Then I uninstalled flash player 9 beta.Then I ran the new installer. Everything goes smoothly.I try to run my app. There is a problem. After 30 minutes or so trying to figure out what is going wrong I look at the error output a little more closely. I am failing in DataGrid code. But what DataGrid code? Beta3. The path is to beta3 code So I go to my eclipse folder and I realize that I still have the beta3 SDK on my computer and Flex is obviously confused. And why not. I'm confused too. I guess the uninstaller only partially uninstalls. So now I am in some halfway nether world with absolutely no clue as to what to do. I guess I will just try to manually delete everything on my computer that has anything to do with flex. But I doubt that will work because windows installs always leave little uhh... droppings throughout your computer. In your registry and elsewhere. Usually the uninstaller is the only think that has a shot of getting you clean. But that didnt work. So now I am stuck. I guess I'll just start hacking and pray.How hard is it to make an uninstaller do the right thing?Damn!Hank __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

[flexcoders] A datagrid with a separate scrollbar
I want to implement a datagrid, but not use the normal scrollbar, or not to use it where it is currently placed. Basically I want to be able to scroll, but have the datagrid look as if the scrollPolicy was no scroll bars. I want to put a bar in an entirely different location. The scrollbar stuff seems to be fairly deeply baked into the datagrid or the scrollControlBase actually, and it is not obvious to me how to work with this any other way than the way it was designed. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?

I have a variety of situations where I want a box to be just big enough to hold its contents, and to just resize other stuff to accomodate. One of the most important reasons for this is localization.

Re: [flexcoders] Different borderstyles for HBox
Containers can definitely be styled, but I am not sure that you can assign a different color to different sides. That might require skinning. You could use scale9 to do it. I know its not as easy as styles, but I *think* that may be your only option. You can turn off certain sides and turn on other sides, so perhaps you could do something with layering, but thats all I can think of.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Different borderstyles for HBox
No, there is nothing wrong with using boxes to place borders around components. The issue is that the layering technique where you use four containers to show four different color sides might be a bit wasteful of CPU depending on how much you do it. But it is pretty standard to use boxes with a border color and style.

paste the following code into the "Input CSS" field.

That should generate the same result as

only by the custom classes being used. You can right click on the app to view the

Re: [flexcoders] app startup / load times
On 7/3/06, Richard Kroll [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hank, One thing you have to keep in mind is that Flex 2.0 is tailored to web *applications* instead of to web sites. This is the rub. I am doing an application, but I am debating as to whether to put the intro stuff into a separate flash app so that the website part of my stuff can open more quickly. Most applications still need the website-ish stuff to tell the user why they should care and what the app is. Basically I am wondering whether I really need to go through that extra effort of making a separate thing in order to improve startup performance. I *really* dont want to. I am lazy. And flex would allow me to do that intro so much easier. But if the startup time is really annoying to people I dont want to loose potential users because the startup was too slow. Now that flex is mainstream, I am sure lots of people are dealing with or thinking about similar issues so I just wanted to get peoples thoughts. I'm really hoping people will convince me not to worry about it, but I am open to being convinced that I need to do a two stage site. When a user starts up a typical application, a 8-10 second delay prior to the application to start up is not an unusually long delay for startup. Most Flex apps that I've seen to date are starting up in the 3-5 second range, which I believe is completely acceptable. I agree that 3-5 seconds is totally ok. I have no idea what the real world experience will be for most people and 8-10 seconds was just a guess based on file size and guesses about the low end of average connection speeds. Regards Hank I'm not saying that people will not use flex to create websites, but I think that a lot of the power that is offered by the platform will not be used, and will potentially bloat the file size of the site (I'm not positive if the flex platform will dynamically remove unused classes, someone have input?).

My app isnt that big, so I presume most of that is just the size of the framework. I am just wondering what do people think about that in terms of user start up time. For a user with a 500kbps connection that is about 8 seconds before the app is loaded. Are people doing loaders to get things started? is there an accepted strategy for how to deal with this? There was another thread recently about how people shouldnt use flex for websites and one person provided aesthetic reasons. In my mind, if there is a reason (and I am not arguing that there is) but if there is a reason not to use it for websites it would be the file size. 10 seconds seems like a long time to make someone wait before they see something. On the other hand perhaps I am underestimating the average connection speed. Anyway, like I said I would just like to get peoples thoughts on this issue.

Re: [flexcoders] app startup / load times
Thanks Ted.But one problem. I dont have *anything* embedded in my app at this point. As I said my app is 477k. Is there anything else that could explain it? Could I really have enough code (written in a week) to explain the size? What is a more normal small flex app size?

Use of Runtime Shared Libraries:Typically you do not have one Flex app, you have several, and then they start to multiply. RSL's allow you to package a set of components and assets into a dll of sorts and reuse it across applications. The result is a single RSL reused by many smaller Flex applications.

Re: [flexcoders] app startup / load times
Actually, I have to take it back. This answer doesnt quite get to the issue, and I realize I probably didnt fully make the question clear.The alternatives are not two flex apps or one. The choices are1. one flex app or 2. one flex app and a flash website. The issue is that I am not very good with making super cool graphics in basic flash. If I put my mind to it I can do it, but its not my strength. So needing to do two separate apps significantly increases the amount of time I am wasting doing something I am not particularly good at. In flex I could do something cool and I could do it quickly. So there is a time value of money issue here vs. will users get frustrated by the wait time. If I had the time and/or the skills to do a good flash site (or heck even a good html site) efficiently then I would probably just do it because it would be smaller. But this involves real world tradeoffs of time and resources so I need to know how acceptable people think a flex download is for a website.

You have to look at it this way, containers are Flex, they

down the players
rendering.
Use them for animation, Flex containers are not animation
they are
logical mass amounts of mathematical checks and balances.

when applying shadowing to an object, if the lighting source is to the top left of the object, then the shadow will be on the bottom and the right.

Wow. This email list is strange. I am only seeing matts email because jack responded to it which means he already got it but I havent. Strange.But anyway, now that I am fully understanding this. It sounds *insane*. You are telling me that remoting, which used to cost $500 or $1000 per server now costs $20,000 per server.I repeat this is insane. It is more expensive than cisco routers. It is more expensive than oracle databases. I repeat. This is insane. No one other than perhaps people using the most valuable and narrow pieces of FDS will pay it.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: shadow lighting

There is a reason they didn't use the DropShadow filter for panels and

That is why the dropShadow style is actually a programmatic skin shape.

Make custom skin sets. If you read what Adobe has said quite a bit, they designed these components for extensibility and thus, some things are not implemented and are left up to the developer to extend.
Which when you get deeper into the years with Flex, you will thank Adobe for taking that path. Peace, Mike

Re: [flexcoders] Re: shadow lighting
That may have been their reasoning (I'd like to hear it from them) but I dont buy that the logic (not really much math) involved in calculating container positioning would interact with filters much. By any reasonable measure, there is not much fancy math in flex. And the logic, while cool, is not exactly taxing to the cpu, particularly in the new 10x VM.

Ha,
The only reason they 'don't' use this stuff for containers is the
layout algos and they wanted to squeeze every bit of performance from
the player when rendering the containers.
You have to look at it this way, containers are Flex, they hold
everything and having filters on these things would slow down the
players rendering.
Use them for animation, Flex containers are not animation they are
logical mass amounts of mathematical checks and balances. You want
every bit of cpu power to make it look like os containers.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Repost of bug issue over weekend
Thanks Daniel.I was thinking something similar after I wrote my last email, but didnt have the energy to write it up. Basically, if it can draw and scroll separate items (even if they are the same) then it can identify them for the purpose of highlighting and selection. If it couldnt tell the difference between the items it should only show one item. In any case, that would be a strong clue as to what is wrong. But it *can* tell the difference between the items.
I agree, and repeat again. This is a bug.HankOn 6/27/06, Daniel Tuppeny [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes it does - with the index. Change the list to this:mx:List id=myList dataProvider={selectedChannels} width=100click=mx.controls.Alert.show(String(myList.selectedIndex
)); /And then click on the items. It CORRECTLY identifies the selected item,even though all 4 are the same. It can EASILY be done if it used theindex of the current item, rather than the value (which IMO - is
madness).It might not be very friendly to have multiple items the same (but thereare places this is very useful), I don't see any reason this shouldn'tbe fixed.-Original Message-

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Shouldn't we use Flex to built website
On 6/26/06, Nick Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think you misunderstand me. I have nothing against flash sites. I'm referring to the poorly done ones where flash users were doing things merely because they now could, not because it was good design. I'm not saying anyone here falls into this category, but typically it was done by people who were solely developers and didn't have an ounce of design sense in their body, from my observations. My point is that Flex is a developer tool, and while some developers are pretty design savvy, most do not fall into that category so my fear is that if developers start using Flex to build sites, we'll be seeing a lot of sites springing up with lots of neat functionality with blurs and fades and slides and stuff, but zero usability and no quality user experience. Does that make more sense? Well, interestingly, I dont think graphic designers have any kind of corner on usability. There are three disciplines involved here, programming, interface design, and graphic design. Some, though few people are good at all three. I think the biggest crime though is the assumption that good graphic designers have some inherent understanding of human interaction. Of course I presume here when you say designer you mean graphic designer which is usually what people mean. But great human interface designers (eg bruce tognazini Jacob Nielsen) dont (perhaps rarely do) have any facility with graphic design and art in my experience. I for one am on the opposite end of the spectrum being decent in human interface and coding, but unable to make decent artwork. My point. Let a million flowers bloom. The tools are what they are. Making things easier will spawn lots of good stuff and lots of bad stuff. And so it goes.RegardsHank On 6/25/06, Michael Schmalle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: those who decide to use Flex to do website designs rank right with those who did all that other crap in the early days of flash with bouncing balls and forced site intros and such.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Repost of bug issue over weekend
Thanks ben. Yes it does help. It is, from my perpsective, even now understanding what it seems to do, be an unexpected result. Perhaps it should generate an error, or not allow you to have an arrayCollection of strings instead of objects, since it is always possible for a list to have multiple matching strings. IMHO it should either do the right thing, or generate an error, not create some anomalous user interface effect with certain data sets. Because this will work right with one set of data, and not right with another data set, I would consider it a bug, though not of the kind I initially thought.

you want to display the same string multiple times I think you willneed to fill your ArrayCollection with objects and access a propertyvia a labelFunction.HTH,Ben--- In

I may be doing something wrong but I dont think so. My immediateissue is to find a work around. Since this is a really basic thing I wouldimagine that, if it is not a known issue (which is hard to imagine) that it will

[flexcoders] spinning widget with remoteObject
I want to put up an area on the screen that spins when a remoteObject is getting its data. I dont mean a spinning cursor but an actual area on the screen. I have seen this many times before, and the idea is to tell the user that a particular area of the screen is waiting for remote data. Also, I am particularly curious about the artwork for this purpose which so many people seem to use. Its sort of a spinning circle and I believe it has an arrow in it. As you move around the circle the gradient of the circle diminishes. I am wondering if this widget is in flex or if people just copy it. Hopefully from my megar description, someone actually knows what I am talking about.Hank __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

Re: [flexcoders] spinning widget with remoteObject
Yeah, I know that I can just do it manually. I was just wondering if there was some built in thing that takes an event and does all the right stuff (like it does with spinning the cursor).I was also suspicious since so many people use the same artwork, which is only used in flash. So I thought there might be some built in way to do it.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: programatically assigning an ArrayCollection as the DataProvider bug...
Oh there is a slight bug in the last example. The problem occurs for a List or a DataGrid. I was playing with both and in the example, I add strings to the dataProvider instead of objects. Flex really doesnt mind except for the fact that it makes the word length the column header. But even if you make the dataGrid a list, it doesnt work. Nothing works. But the documentation does say it *should* work.

Here's how you include other directories as part of source code in a project in eclipse1. right click on the folder that is your flex project.2. select properties down at the bottom of the menu3. in the panel on the left side, select Flex Build Path 4. in the source path tab, press on the button add folder5. Navigate to the folder *containing the folder or folders that you want to include. For my structure I had a directory called src that contained folders like com. So in my case I selected src.

[flexcoders] Javadoc like comments for AS3
I am wondering what the MM strategy is for commenting AS3. I would really love to be able to add javadoc comments, and compile some kind of code documentation. It seems as though the editor, on some level, understands the idea of javadoc because if on a blank line you type /* the stuff below turns green. It knows its a comment. But if you type /** (the signal for this is javadoc) it turns blue. But it doesnt auto create the parameter signatures and I dont see any other reference to documentation in flex. Of course it is very possible I have missed something, so I am just curious if anyone else has any insight.

[flexcoders] Another simple flex newbie question
How do you modularize MXML.In actionscript we import classes, and each class represents some conceptual chunk, but I am not sure what the equivalent is in MXML.I have been looking at lots of code examples, but they are all small. This has been very helpful in learning how APIs work, but I am on the edge of my two day project feeling bloated and unmodular. I am sure, lots of people will say the answer is cairngorm, but for right now I want to learn MXML raw before adding another layer on top of it.ThanksHank __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

[flexcoders] RemoteObjects in components
Ok, so I just created a component. It needs to access remoteObjects. I defined the component as a canvas. But I guess canvas's cant have sub items that are remoteObjects, so a compiler error is thrown. But the whole purpose of this component is to display remoteObject data in a scrolling list. It makes sense to me that the remoteObject be close to the list. Although perhaps not. Perhaps ultimately the RemoteObjects should be in one place and the display in another to keep things highly factored (I know cairngorm again). So I would like to know how to place remoteObjects in a component, and how to place then in another component that might serve data to this component. ThanksHankPS At some point I am sure I will use cairngorm, but I need to understand how the real system works before I start using something that obscures or simplifes how things work. Otherwise I dont think I will be a good MXML coder. __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

Re: [flexcoders] [F2B3] Could Adobe make Flex Framework available trough SVN?
I love the SVN idea. And you dont even need to post interim code, just official releases. This would allow us to update our projects in a very natural way.

Re: [flexcoders] programatically assigning an ArrayCollection as the DataProvider bug...
The exact thing that Jonathan describes below in the referenced email is happening to me. I am attempting to programatically create a bindable arrayCollection and use that arrayCollection as a dataProvider for a dataGrid. When I do this, only the last item in the list is selectable with the mouse.
I am getting the exact same results as jonathan. But according to the documentation, this is totally legal. In this thread, the theory was that the IUID was not there or that the object needed to be dynamic, but that cant relate to an ArrayCollection. This really feels like a bug because I should be able to create and modify a bindable arrayCollection without worrying about any wierd scenario. This should be flex 101.
So I am curious if anyone else can dynamically (not from a data service) create a dataProvider for a dataGrid using an arrayCollection and select any item in the list with the mouse.Betcha cant.Hank

selection highlight doesn't move off of the last item in the list! I have also sceen this issue in a ComboBox.
Any ideas as to why this is happening?-JB

[flexcoders] animated line charts
I saw a demo somewhere of a flex line chart that was animated such that the lines series lines where drawn onto the screen rather than just appearing when the chart was drawn. Does anybody have any idea how this was done.

Re: [flexcoders] animated line charts
Those are cool effects but, based on my reading and a quick and dirty test, as documented, none of the effects that I read about do what I want.HankOn 6/22/06, Pan Troglodytes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I haven't dealt with the line charts much, but it sounds like they are using a showDataEffect. Look up SeriesInterpolate in the help. I've used it with pie and column graphs and it looks great.
