[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Sequence Command Example
Do any of the command depends on each other (have to work in a specific sequence) or do they just all have to be done to create the state you want? If it's the later you might not want to use the SequenceCommand but just 5 separate commands that change some state variables and once your state is set right do what you want.

[flexcoders] Re: How to create a binding from within an actionscript class file - Impossible?
I dont believe binding is a good use in the instance. What is the string in the class file used for? Is it used in displaying something? If so the value should probably be in the Model and bound to the View and not in a Class. Is it used for class logic? Probably better to take a step back and disect what you are trying to accomplish. One way (not necessarily good) is to pass a reference to a function in the class as a parameter of the Event object in the EventBroadcaster call. Then set this function reference in the execute method of the Command object to a private attribute. Then in the onResult method call use this attribute to return a call back to your class file with the data you want set. This is a lot of coupling and you really should look at what you are trying to accomplish before going this route.

[flexcoders] Re: Embedding a slideshow swf that calls image files
It has to do with the timing of everything. The last example code of your SWF was: var t:String; // which sets to undefined myText.text = t; So when the SWF's first frame plays it sets myText.text to undefined. It seems that your SWF goes on past the first frame ( or stops execution ) before the Loader.content gets to set the variable t. So the execution sequence would look something like this: Loader calls SWF. SWF calls first frame action script and sets myText.text = t (which is undefined) SWF moves on to or stops executing first frame actionscript. Loader.content.t is set. Now myText.text = t is never called again and the new value is not set. In the case where you call myText.text directly you are not setting a variable that has a execution based on some timeline but directly to the correct value you want to change. An alternate is do: progress=event.target.content.t ='Hello World';event.target.content.gotoAndPlay(1) But the setting of variables directly is much better. Talking to loaded SWF's are not exactly like FlashVars because it depends on the nature of the SWF where things are initialized/set. I hope that makes sense, Renaun --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Philippe Maegerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tried it and noticed it worked, but couldn't guess why assigning a value to a variable wouldn't work.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Cairngorm + ColdFusion + Framework?
The nature of Remoting does limit the benifits of frameworks for the backend. Let me restate this. It doesn't warrant anything fancy for the actual Remote Object interface. Of course you should use patterns for business logic but the actual Remote Object interface is just API structure of folders. (ie: com.store.ProductService, com.setup.UserService) The actual business logic and other backend resources that ProductService and UserService uses to get the correct data is where you can use Patterns. The patterns would probably be more along the lines of Business Logic, Database, State, etc... not UI patterns. So my quick answer is yes and no, does that make sense?

The Xms and Xmx JVM parameters set the default memory settings. By default Sun's JVM is set to 64Mb which is not high enough for most server applications. I dont know JBoss well enough, but you should be able to Google on JBoss and Xms and Xmx settings. It will have to do with JAVA_OPTS or the JAVA command line call java.exe in the run scripts.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex CPU License(s)
I won't give you definite answer as it does really depend, but give you a at least number. With Java the JVM has a 1.5Gb ram limitation (unless using Sun boxes or 64 bit correct me if I am wrong).

[flexcoders] Re: Flex CPU License(s)
The number was a at least number, so it was definetely low. I'll take a stab and trying to explain all the depends, but I might be off on some of these. Performance hit - Flex compiling the MXML into SWF files, there is caching mechanisms built in, dont know the extent how well the caching works. This process is usaully CPU then Memory intensive. This is done when in the JVM so your bottleneck here is the JVM used (IBM, Sun, BEA Jrockit, etc... ). Backend Data Tier ( WebServices/Remoting etc... ) - This depends on what you end up using, could be Java, .Net, or ColdFusion (even PHP or Perl). Assuming you run any of these on the same machine you'll have performance in CPU or Memory, where these bottlenecks follow a typical application bottleneck. These service's performance is not directly related to Flex, unless you are using Flex's sandbox policy then there would be some overhead placed on the JVM again to handle each request. As for benchmarking there are software programs out there that can replay http requests and simulate lots of people hitting your servers. But its still hard to get good numbers unless you simulate your real deployment environment as close as possible. One thing going for Flex is the idea that instead of having alot of small requests hitting your server over a period of time, which eats up resources, you have one medium/big hit at first with little interaction with the server after (of course depending on if the application is getting real-time data or not). You have a situation where they hit it less times over a period of time thus off setting the time server resource you give up for running Flex. The disclaimer is that it just depends. Depends on size of the SWF's, complexity of MXML Flex compiling, data being transfered, interaction of user (does the app have real time data ), etc... In my case I am doing online video training and my bandwidth is going to be a bigger issue then Flex performance for the number of projected users. Its really hard to say what a specific server can do without knowing the extent of how its going to be used and the application being built.

With Java the JVM has a 1.5Gb ram limitation (unless using Sun boxes or 64 bit correct me if I am wrong). So I usually try and get 2Gb of ram minimum. This allows the JVM use its limit if needed and have stuff left over for normal OS and Database usage. The number I can give is that you can definitely handle a couple hundred simultaneous users on a server like that. To spec out anything more you need to benchmark the server with the actual application. I had a Dual 3.2Ghz Xeon 2Gb ram handle 1000-2000 simultaneous users for a Java application that was Memory intensive. It is pretty safe to say if you actually have a couple hundred simultaneous users you mostly likely have ten of thousand actual users.

[flexcoders] Re: If I buy a flex license can I host other peoples apps on the license?
My question about this story is your take on the cost of development of Flash compared to Flex. Figure in development cost (Design Time, Training, Maintenance, etc ) for one 1 year or more. Is there a big enough difference in Staff Costs to warrant a $750k licensing of Flex over a longer period of time. I experience between working on a Flash project with a team of 2 people can be hard to do unless you use all ActionScript files and 3rd Party Flash compilers. But to be able to use traditional Enterprise development strategies with Flex development has saved lots of time and Staff costs. But I can see where some applications will not work with the way Flex is licensing their servers because of the high price tag. I do agree that Flex prices hinder proper server farming when designing an application. Do most people believe there is a real money benefit with Developer salary/time costs when comparing Flex development to Flash development? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Clint Modien [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thought I'd kick in a story...

I have been developing a flex application that uses MediaController and MediaDisplay along with a Loader to load a FLV and a SWF and then sync them. I get the Flash Player to warn that there were errors quite often, and less often I get the whole browser IE and Firefox to crash. I also ported the FLV and SWF load/sync AS files to a Flash MX 2004 project and got the similar results (less often but we haven't tested it as much). You can see stable code in action at www.g-t-t.com. Just go to www.g-t-t.com and click on play video. This mostly happens when I have unstable code ( unstable in relationship to our defined funcationality requirements ).

[flexcoders] Re: Questions About Services Security
This is a bit confusing to me, but I understand when you say it has to use AMF, unless exposed as a SOAP. I guess my question then is. If you use the Flex proxy remoteObject gateway (as right now I actually call a different AMF gateway for all my AMF calls), can you restrict domain/ip access in the flex-config.xml? I have a PHP amf gateway setup now, and anybody could hit the remote gateway if they new the URL. I was wondering if using the Flex's proxy remoteObject gateway by only accessing Java remote objects on the server, would I achieve a situation where it was impossible for outside people to make requests on the Flex remoteObject gateway? Does that make sense? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you want your Flex app to communicate with a Java class you must use AMF unless you expose it as a SOAP service. I'm not sure how you were intending on reaching it without AMF? When you do use AMF you are restricted to classes that are available to the web application in which Flex is running (or more accurately your amf gateway). We have the whitelist in flex-config.xml which gives you more control over which classes can be accessed. Matt _ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 11:08 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Questions About Services Security I want to use RemoteObject that invokes a Java class. (not AMF, HTTPService, or SOAP). Question 1, are the Java classes restricted to the same server as Flex? (besides some funky network share i mean). Question 2, Using RemoteObject to Java classes (not AMF) do I gain the security that only mxml's from the same domain (or allowable domains through domain.xml and flex-config.xml) can access the Java class? Thanks for any answers to these questions or any other insights to Security in regards to RemoteObject Java classes. I do understand about HTTPS, I am more concerned about easy access to Remote calls. _ Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid doublelclick
Here is an example of a DoubleClickTree should be pretty easy to convert over to a DataGrid: #65279;[Event(doubleClick)] class com.mason.core.components.DoubleClickTree extends mx.controls.Tree { var lastClick = 0; var dbLastSelected:Object; var dClick = false; // Required for Delegate. import mx.utils.Delegate; function DoubleClickTree() { addEventListener(change,_doubleClick); } function _doubleClick( event ) { checkDblClick( this.selectedNode ); if( this.getIsBranch( this.selectedNode ) dClick ) { this.setIsOpen( this.selectedNode, (( this.getIsOpen( this.selectedNode ) ) ? false : true), true, true); } if( !this.getIsBranch( this.selectedNode ) dClick ) { dispatchEvent({ type: doubleClick }); } } private function checkDblClick(s) { var clickTime = getTimer(); dClick = ((clickTime-lastClick300) (dbLastSelected == s)); lastClick = clickTime; dbLastSelected = s; } } --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, i'm not find documentation about double click cell press event into DataGrid?

[flexcoders] Re: PopUpManager
A solution to my own question: function interval() { this.setStyle( dropShadow, false ); clearInterval( this.intervalNumber ); doLater( this, deletePopUp ); } But this seems like a hack, and the fact that the dropShadow stays around seems like a bug?

[flexcoders] Re: PopUpManager
Thanks, I'll give it a try. I say a doLater example some where but must have implemented it wrong. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, if you, typically, do a deletePopUp when the event was triggered by the popup itself, there's some kind of reference to the popup kept around.

[flexcoders] Re: PopUpManager
Ok I am sick and am not thinking right. Excuse my other post's misspellings (say=saw). But the doLater is not the issue. Its the timer. I dont want to do it on a click event but a timed event with setInterval. The click makes sense because the PopUp has been rendered but with a timed function (setInterval) it seems to get mixed up somewhere. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, if you, typically, do a deletePopUp when the event was triggered by the popup itself, there's some kind of reference to the popup kept around.
