the text color for Two (third item from bottom) gets changed. If I
check for the label text Four, the text color for One (fourth item

Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue so that the correct text

[flexcoders] List ItemRenderer Issue FB4
I'm not sure if this is an issue with the list component itself, or, more
likely, my itemRenderer for the list.
I have a few lists and if I run my application in full screen, everything
appears to be okay. However, if I reduce the browser size, I cannot scroll the
list to the bottom. Sometime when I re-size the browser, the items in the list
revert their sort order.
What makes me think it may be related to the itemRenderer is that a couple
times I've seen some duplicate items in my list that appear, after I re-size
the screen.

[flexcoders] Re: Spark DropDownList Custom ItemRenderer Issue
I understand that itemRenderers are reused, however, my renderer always set's
the label and the color, so it would seem to me that this would always
overwrite what was set previously. What's causing me issue is that the items in
the DropDownList display in the reverse order of the dataProvider, but when I
select an item in the DropDownList, the selectedIndex and selectedItem are
referencing the order from the dataProvider, and not what is displayed in the
DropDownList.

[flexcoders] Coding Best Practices/Accessing Using External AS
I have a series of component canvas containers that have children added and updated based on data in an ArrayCollection. The logic for the layout of the children in the container is identical for each canvas. What I am struggling with is where to put the logic for the layout. If I put it inside the custom canvas container, I'm loading all this code each time I add the custom canvas container to the parent application, and there could be 20+ canvas containers added to the application. If I leave the layout logic in the parent container, then the layout for each canvas occurs in sequential order as I loop through all the canvas containers. I need the layout logic to run simultaneous and independantly for each canvas. So the question is, how do I externalize my layout logic so each container can use it, and not have the code internal to the component? What is the best practice? The canvas container has to pass an Array of data to the script and it will need to add and update children within the canvas container. To may way of thinking, each container shouldn't contain the same 400 lines of layout logic code. Instead, each instance of the container should be able to call the code, which is only loaded into the application 1 time. That seem's like the efficient way to go, but I'm not sure how to do this or if it's the right way to do it. I'm using Flex 3.
[flexcoders] Re: Coding Best Practices/Accessing Using External AS
This goes to my lack of understanding in this area, but your saying create my own container type, correct? My logic sets the x, y, width, and height, so I don't know that I need all the measure and other items found in the ContainerLayout scripting associated with the standard container. Any good examples, tutorials on this? I'm just not up on base class and subclasses, etc. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui aha...@... wrote: Sounds like you need a base class with the layout logic, then 20+ subclasses of that base class.

[flexcoders] Re: Coding Best Practices/Accessing Using External AS
Yes, I have a custom canvas component. Currently, my layout logic is in the parent application, and has to perform the layout sequentially for the data relevant to each instance of the custom component. My concern was that FlashPlayer/AIR is loading the component X number of times and so the memory usage would quickly get out of hand. With your description, it only gets loaded once, but used multiple times, and that would work just fine. Thank you for the explanation! --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, ag_rcuren robert.vancuren...@... wrote: So if I am understanding you correctly you have built a custom component already and you are just making many instances of it during the runtime of your app? If this is the case it is fine to put the logic in the custom canvas. Once you compile the code each time you add a new instance of the component it will not be adding the 400 lines of code to your app over and over. All of the components reference the same compiled code. Even if you are loading modules once you load a module once the application is smart enough to know that that code is already loaded into the app and does not reload all of that code. Now if you are talking about 20 separate classes that all have the same code copied and pasted (yikes) you would want to use a base class and extend from that. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, jmfillman jmfillman@ wrote: I have a series of component canvas containers that have children added and updated based on data in an ArrayCollection.

If I leave the layout logic in the parent container, then the layout for each canvas occurs in sequential order as I loop through all the canvas containers. I need the layout logic to run simultaneous and independantly for each canvas. So the question is, how do I externalize my layout logic so each container can use it, and not have the code internal to the component? What is the best practice? The canvas container has to pass an Array of data to the script and it will need to add and update children within the canvas container. To may way of thinking, each container shouldn't contain the same 400 lines of layout logic code. Instead, each instance of the container should be able to call the code, which is only loaded into the application 1 time. That seem's like the efficient way to go, but I'm not sure how to do this or if it's the right way to do it. I'm using Flex 3.
[flexcoders] Re: Context Menu mouseTarget Issue
This worked:
myCanvas.removeChildAt(myCanvas.getChildIndex(event.mouseTarget));
and
myCanvas.removeChildAt(myCanvas.getChildIndex(event.mouseTarget.parent));
depending on whether the mouse is over the root Panel component or the child
containers added to the panel.
The harder part is identifying which item in my ArrayCollection corresponds to
the mouseTarget. What I've ended up doing is capturing the parent/child path
(E.g. TestApp0.canvasShell.myCanvas.myContainer592) in my ArrayCollection, then
looping until I find a match and removing that item. Is there a more efficient
way?

[flexcoders] Re: Find Actual Width After Setting Percent Width
The code below should demonstrate the issue more specifically.
What you get when the clicked() function is called, shows that there is a
slight delay in getting the width of the container. You'll note that the trace
statement returns the original width as does the txtWidth field.
You will note, however, that if you bind to the width of the container, you do
get the correct width of the canvas. What I infer from this is that there is a
delay in FlashPlayer/Air in having the width value set.
If, however, you use the previous example, posted Beau, this works, presumably
because the item you are re-sizing is within a container and the LayoutManager
deals with nested items first, as I recall.
Why the validateNow() function doesn't complete before moving on to the other
two elements in the clicked() function, wasn't what I expected. This is
probably a speed thing in the function so as to not hold up other items while
the item is being validated???

[flexcoders] Re: Context Menu Bug in FlashPlayer ?
I did file a bug with Adobe. Hopefully it'll be addressed soon.
Interesting that it was encountered in FlashPlayer 9. I don't recall which
version of 9 I had, but I did not encounter this error until I went to
FlashPlayer 10.
For my application, it is critical that particular conectMenu items only appear
when right-clicking on certain display items. Once the mouse moves off of the
item, that custom item should no longer be available. If there is a better way
to accomplish this, I would be very interested in exploring it.

I think I know why it crashes (Although it should not crash the browser - it
should fail with a Flash null object error. You should file a bug).
When a right click event happens, a mouse out event happens first (Why? I
don't know. Maybe this is a bug too) so your mouseOt function gets called
which removes the context menu item. I assume, at this point, that the
eventlistener is no longer valid but the event has already fired and is
trying to find somewhere to go. This is what causes the crash.
The moral of this is that you should not remove something willy nilly like
this. First make sure you do not need it any more and then remove it.

I have object1 that contains: userID, firstName, lastName, phoneNumber and I have object2 that contains: eventID The trick here is that except for the userID field, the other fields will vary in number and name, because I've externalized the itemRenderer so that developers can structure their own view for their own data.

You haven't said what the ArrayCollection is a collection *of*. So it is probably a collection of dynamic Objects. Normally this is not a problem, but in many cases, it is better to have a strongly typed VO(value object), as this gives the access best performance. So, since you need another property, I suggest you create a vo class. Make the whole class Bindable, unless you want to do different. Include all the fields in your normal object, plus add your special field to that class. Then, in your result handler, loop over your array of objects, and build an ArrayCollection of your Vos. One approach to this is to have a fill method that takes the basic data object and populates the class instance property values. You wind up with the field you need, plus a best-case performance situation. If you want the shortcut, just loop over the items and add the new field to the dynamic object.

Hi Tracy,
This may work, I'd have to try it, and may be my best option. I
was
hoping to be able to reset the scrollBar so that it appears to the
user that they are seeing everything.
Why can't you just suppress the scrollbar and add one of your own?
You can
set it to whatever you like then.

I appreciate the responses, but I do not believe this will
accomplish
what I need. Masking is the closest so far, but the scroll bars
create a problem.
Simply making items hidden, does hide viewable items, but leaves
the
container with a lot of blank space.
Essentially, I want to override the index or whatever values the
scrollbar uses to determine the top and bottom of the container,
and
set my own values.

You want some users to see only the first 3, is that correct?
If

you can just set 'visible' to false and 'includeInLayout' to

[flexcoders] Re: Display only part of a canvas??
This crops the scroll area only for items after the last included
item. Take the following example:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
mx:Canvas left=0 bottom=0 top=0 right=0
mx:Button x=10 y=10 label=Button 1
includeInLayout=false visible=false/
mx:Button x=10 y=1000 label=Button 2
includeInLayout=true visible=true/
mx:Button x=10 y=1500 label=Button 3
includeInLayout=true visible=true/
mx:Button x=10 y=3000 label=Button 4
includeInLayout=true visible=true/
mx:Button x=10 y=4000 label=Button 5
includeInLayout=false visible=false/
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Application
The scrollBar still starts at 0, but does stop just after displaying
Button 3. I need the scroll to start at 1000, and not be able to
scroll less than 1000 and no higher than 3000. While Button 1 is not
visible, the scrollBar still accounts for the space between 0 and
1000.
I'm trying to make scrollRect crop the canvas. I'm able to restrict
the view, but I can't make it scroll. Take this example:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute width=100% height=100% creationComplete=init
();
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function init():void {
myCanvas.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0,0,500, 1700);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Canvas width=100% height=100%
verticalScrollPolicy=off horizontalScrollPolicy=off
mx:Canvas left=0 right=10 id=myCanvas top=0
verticalScrollPolicy=on horizontalScrollPolicy=off bottom=10
mx:Button left=10 y=10 label=Button 1/
mx:Button y=1500 label=Button 2
left=10/
mx:Button label=Button 3 left=10
y=2550/
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Application
Where is the vertical scroll bar?

That's exactly why I suggested that, in addition to setting visible
to
false, you also set includeInLayout to false. That will remove the
items from the canvas and it'll be as if they didn't exist (until
you
showed them again).
What I'm suggesting is the equivalent of CSS's display: none, if
you're familiar with that.

I see. Any particular reason for using Canvas? If you're laying them out vertically as in this example, then I think you could use VBox and your problem would be solved (along with visible/includeInLayout). The problem here is that Canvas will start counting from the absolute position of the top-most visible item (y=1000), so it'll still leave 1000 px. blank space. You don't have that with VBox. I'm trying to make scrollRect crop the canvas. I'm able to restrict the view, but I can't make it scroll. Take this example: scrollRect or mask is just not going to work nicely with a Flex container. I wouldn't go there at all. -- manishjethani.com

[flexcoders] Disable Right-Click during Drag
Is there a way to disable the right-click menu while dragging? If not, how do I formally request this? It's pretty annoying to accidently hit the right menu button while dragging. On a laptop, this is a pretty common ocurrence. The drag object can get separated from the cursor, or the drag object gets stuck to the cursor and you have to re-load the application to get rid of it, or the drag object gets dropped in the wrong place.

Just make sure that buyList is a public variable. However, it's

trigers the removal of the item from the dataProvider in the outer

Tim, Thank you for the reply!
What I mean by external is that it is not an inline itemRenderer, but
in a separate MXML file.
My buyList array is bindable and public, but the error that I get
is Access of undefined property outerDocument.

[flexcoders] Centering Embedded Button Image
If I embed an image like this:
[Embed(source=images/myImage.gif)]
public var myImage:Class;
mx:Button id=myButton height=22 width=22 icon={myImage}/
The image is properly centered on the button.
However, I need to embed the image via styling, like this:
.myButtonStyle{
icon: Embed(source='images/myImage.gif');
width: 22;
height: 22;
}
mx:Button id=myButton styleName=myButtonStyle/
This leaves the image right justified and I need it centered. The
image itself is 10x17, and I suppose that I could modify it to fit
the dimensions of my button, but I have quite a few images that would
have to be modified.

Dan, I've often found that I need to delete the old file(s) before uploading the new file to the net. This is either to do with the FTP software and/or the hosting company. If you don't delete it first, sometimes it doesn't overwrite the old file, and it seems some hosting companies have a cache of some type on their servers, and it takes a while for your new file to be what is displayed when browsing to your site. I've seen it take over 1 hour before the new file gets displayed. Deleting the file, however, seems to force it to recognize the new file.

The issue is that you are creating Objects and adding these Objects

this:
var objDG:Object = {itemID: myID, index: myAC[myID].id, display:
gridDisplay, toolTip: tipText};
myList.dataProvider.addItem( new ObjectProxy(objDG) );
But it would be much better to get strongly-typed objects back
gfrom the
server, or convert the items to strongly-typed objects instead of
generic
Objects. So define a class called MyItem (or whatever) and make it
a simple
class with bindable properties for itemID, index, display, and
toolTip. THen
when you get your objects back from the server do this instead:
var objDG:MyItem = new MyItem();
obj.itemID = myID;
obj.index = myAC[myID].id
obj.display = gridDisplay;
obj.toolTip = tipText;
BTW, I'd argue that storing the index of the item in the collection
doesn't
belong in the item itself..

[flexcoders] Re: Library Project Help
Is there a good resource/tutorial on Library projects. The process
for importing and using seperate mxml files seems to be different
from a standard Flex project.
For example, I have several popup windows. They are in the same sub-
folder as the main file of the component. In a standard project, the
component and the project can find the popup windows just fine. In
the Library Project, those files are not found, generating a could
not find source for class... error.
I need to resolve the issue, but I also need to understand why and
what is the best practice.
Thank you.

[flexcoders] SWF Size Concerns
I have a good sized application (around 433 KB). I just added a TitleWindow component with 37 lines of code and no imbedded assets, and was surprised when the SWF size jumped about 102 KB, to 535 KB (using Release Build). Am I better off creating an view inline state instead of using a component? It seems so out of proportion. The main application is a few thousand lines, with plenty of imbedded images, and this little TitleWindow increases my file size by nearly 25%.
[flexcoders] Re: SWF Size Concerns
I do have another TitleWindow component in use. Don't recall exactly, but it didn't seem like that significant of a jump when I added the first one a few months back. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Daniel Gold [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: did you have any TitleWindows previously? My guess is the code size increase is due to extra components from the framework library being compiled into your project. Add another TitleWindow component that is similar and see what the code size increase.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex + WebORB for PHP, A very strage problem
Manu,
First thing I'd do is trace (list[i].aircon) or bind the
ArrayCollection to a dataGrid to see what is actually being returned.
My suspicion is that you are getting the correct true and false data
in the result, but as Uber_Nick suggested, it's a string value, so
you'll need to add an if statement, like this:
if (list[i].aircon == 'true') {
vo.aircon = true;
}
else if (list[i].aircon == 'false') {
vo.aircon = false;
}

Note the following.

Flex is interpreting the result from your PHP call as a String.
Try
returning lower-case 'true' and 'false'. Also, try using:
list[i].aircon as Boolean
instead of:
Boolean(list[i].aircon)
The former will not always convert to true (but will return null
if it
can't convert). Lastly, if you can't make it work, just try this
workaround:
vo.aircon = (''+list[i].aircon).toLowerCase()=='true';

[flexcoders] Re: Login Screen an data format usage
My personal preference is remoting using WebORB. Pretty easy to use, and fast. About the login screen, without going into a lot of detail, you simply submit the username/password to whatever data option you go with. In Flex, you are listening for a result from the data query for success. If successful, you can trigger a State change, or wherever you want to send the user. If you need more detail, I may have one somewhere. Haven't used it in about a year, so I'd have to go looking for it.

But it does not work for Flex swfs. If you try to encrypt a full Flex SWF the encryptor goes overboard and jacks up the Flex framework code and makes your SWF unrunnable. - What did seem to work was creating a SWF module that did not include the Flex framework code, encrypting that, and loading that module into a wrapper Flex app. - Neither SWCEncrypt nor SWFEncrypt seems to actually encrypt anything, All of it can still be decompiled with the Sothink decompiler (maybe the decompiler just knows how to decrypt whatever encryption is used).

Subject: [flexcoders] Complex itemEditEnd processing confuses
subsequent
rowIndex on click
In a component's editable Datagrid's itemEditEnd handler, I update a
data model instance, which dispatches events that invoke a
ChangeWatcher
handler back in that same component. That handler assigns a new
XMLListCollection to the local var to which the editable dataGrid is
bound. The handler also sets the selectedIndex of the DG to the
just
edited row.
This all works fine if I end the editing session using Tab or Enter
or
Escape, but if I click in the next row, something confuses the
rowIndex
of the click, and the next row's cell is put in edit mode instead
of the
one clicked.
So far I have been unable to repro this in a test app (quit because
of
time issues), but it occurs both places that I use this methodology.
I also have found that there is some kind of event tangle. When my
change handler is invoked and re-assigns the DG dataProvider, we are
still within the itemEditEnd handler, but assigning the DP causes
us
to hit the itemEditend handler AGAIN, recursively.
I am about ready to just set a flag and conditionally skip the
problem
code, but any other ideas will be appreciated. I'll post some

Thank you for the reply Tracy!
So instead of adding the items to the list as an Object I
should..?
var objDG:Object = {itemID: myID, index: myAC[myID].id, display:
gridDisplay, toolTip: tipText};
myList.dataProvider.addItem(objDG);

One other cause of this warning is when you have a bindable
object
that
you reference through a property typed as Object, as with
selectedItem,
currentItem, data, getRepeaterItem(), etc. In that case you can
convert

[flexcoders] Re: Complex itemEditEnd processing confuses subsequent rowIndex on click
It seems you are content to stick with the workaround, but I'm
curious if you are getting the data from index 4, even though it's
saying index 5, or if you are getting the data associated with index
5. I've seen this where the selectedIndex was 5, but the data was
from the old index 5 (now 4 or 6), which really does mess things up.
I've had to go and programatically clear the DG and re-assign the
dataProvider to keep things consistent, but that's not problem free
when inserting into the DG. Frustrating :-)

That is correct. I am getting index 5, all the way. Even the
DataGridEvent.rowIndex reports 5. I have not been able to catch
index 4
anywhere. I even considered a mouseDown handler.
And the DataGrid refresh is what is causing the problem, that
happens
when I assign the _xlcProjItems = new XMLListCollection() WITHIN an
editing session.
It is a pretty complex series of actions, ending an edit session by
clicking another row, and by adding in the data model update and
dataProvider re-assignment, it just is nuts.
I am now setting a flag in the itenEditEnd handler, and NOT calling
preventDefault. In my hangeWatcher handler, if I am in an edit
session,
I do not re-assign the dataProvider. Seems to work fine.

Let me see if I understand this. You are saying that if you are
editing selectedIndex 3, and then you click, for example, on index
4,
that you are getting index 5 instead of 4, correct?
Do you get the data from index 4 or 5? When you update data in the
DG, don't you need to refresh the DG?

Subject: [flexcoders] Complex itemEditEnd processing confuses
subsequent
rowIndex on click
In a component's editable Datagrid's itemEditEnd handler, I
update a
data model instance, which dispatches events that invoke a
ChangeWatcher
handler back in that same component. That handler assigns a new
XMLListCollection to the local var to which the editable dataGrid
is
bound. The handler also sets the selectedIndex of the DG to the
just
edited row.
This all works fine if I end the editing session using Tab or
Enter
or
Escape, but if I click in the next row, something confuses the
rowIndex
of the click, and the next row's cell is put in edit mode instead
of the
one clicked.
So far I have been unable to repro this in a test app (quit
because
of
time issues), but it occurs both places that I use this
methodology.
I also have found that there is some kind of event tangle. When
my
change handler is invoked and re-assigns the DG dataProvider, we
are
still within the itemEditEnd handler, but assigning the DP
causes
us
to hit the itemEditend handler AGAIN, recursively.
I am about ready to just set a flag and conditionally skip the
problem
code, but any other ideas will be appreciated. I'll post some
snippets
below.
Tracy
Tracing:
onEditEnd() //value updated, click in 2nd row(index
1),itemEditEnd handler called
..onEditEnd rowIndex=0 //
changeProjItemData() //updates the data model
onXmlProjItemsChange: //ChangeWatcher handler
..-- here we assign the dg dataProvider --
onEditEnd() //UNEXPECTED call to itemEditEnd handler
..onEditEnd rowIndex=0
selectItemByIndex( 0)
onSelectItem //called by DG change event handler, 2nd
row(index 1) clicked
..set _iSelectedIndex to row clicked=2 //WRONG index, clicked
index 1
..-- here , the 3rd row is set to editable, not the 2nd as
clicked
Snippets:
/**This gets fired when the itemEditor is about to be destroyed.
*/
private function onEditEnd(event:DataGridEvent):void
{
trace(.ProjItem.onEditEnd())
var sPropertyName:String = event.dataField; //get the
dataField
var sValue:String =
TextInput(event.currentTarget.itemEditorInstance).text; //and

[flexcoders] Re: itemRender Debug Warnings
I've got 29 lists, so I'm not sure I want 29 ArrayCollections with
bindings :-) The code is far too extensive to post here, but the
warning it not at compile, but in Debug mode at runtime. I get this
for every field in the list that I bind to in the itemRenderer.
So with my Object = {itemID: myID, index: myAC[myID].id, display:
gridDisplay, toolTip: tipText};
If in the itemRenderer I bind to display and toolTip, I get 2
warnings for each item in the List dataProvider.
I'm fairly sure that it has to do with how I take the RemoteObject
restul data and assign it to the ArrayCollection.

0) {

}
else {

[flexcoders] Re: Programmatic scrolling of a TileList?
It sounds like you are on the right path, however, initially the scrollToIndex() is 1, correct? Each button click should increment the scrollToIndex() by 1 (or -1 if moving left on the list), so instead of scrollToIndex() being 4 after the click, it should be 2. Next click, 3, etc Just be careful to account for the total number in the index so you don't get an error by trying to go to index position of negative 1 or, in this example, 5. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, djbrown_rotonews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: any help out there? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, djbrown_rotonews djbrown_rotonews@ wrote: anyone? :) --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, djbrown_rotonews djbrown_rotonews@ wrote: I've got a tile list component that I want to be able to scroll through horizontally without the visual presence of the scroll bars themselves.

However, in the example above, returns a number of 34.9583336.. I assume that I need to account for that 1 hour, the question is, how? It still needs to work regardless of whether or not the two dates cross a time change.
[flexcoders] Re: How can I clear an ArrayCollection or Datagrid
removeAll() should do exactly what you are looking for, but only if your dataGrid's dataprovider is bound to the arrayCollection. If your dataGrid is not bound to the arrayCollection, the dataGrid will not change as data in the arrayCollection changes (unless you have accounted for this programatically elsewhere). If you do not want to use binding, the easiest thing would be to add a collection_change eventListener on the arrayCollection so you can clear out or update the dataGrid as the arrayCollection data changes. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tracy Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have used AC API method removeAll() to clear an AC, and it properly updates the UI.
