[flexcoders] Help!! URL Request TimeOUt inconsistencies!

[leds usop]

Hi Guys, Can someone verify if the information on the link is accurate for 
timeouts on AIR 1.5.x for windows and mac?

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/578593?decorator=print&displayFullThread=true

Why the inconsistency? 60 mins on legacy 1.5.x in both windows and mac (then 30 
secs on although this is understandable) whilst the Platform default is 60 
seconds especially in AIR 2.0?  Also we seem to be having timeouts of 60 
seconds on Leopard running AIR 1.5.x so what gives??? Is this a 
typographical error then? Help please! 

We know we can set the idletimeout property in Air 2, but since it's still in 
beta, we are stuck with 1.5.x for now (1.5.3 in particular)


Thanks!!


  

Re: [flexcoders] My itemrenderer is mercurial!!

[leds usop]

how are you setting the selection status of the checkbox? override the setter 
method for data, then place a default value (an if else perhaps) if the data is 
null, or is int's default state.

  The itemrenderer is a HBox. There is a check and a label in the HBox.
When I selected any of the checkbox and scrolled the scrollbar of the List 
which used the itemrenderer, the stange thing happened, the selected checkbox 
is no longer the same checkbox !! Maybe the last one, maybe the second one ~~~  
How can I fix this ?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3 Exam Cert Question

[leds usop]

hi,

i recentlly got my flex 3 with air cert and i'd say the questions on lcds are 
more on interacting with lcds, so you should be able to get enough info from 
livedocs or any good flex book that discusses lcds.

As for the local database connection, that would be pertaining to AIR's 
interaction with SQL (or SQLite). 

someone correct me if im wrong. ^^
cheers

can someone point me to a resource or book that i can find out more on 
IMPLEMENTING LCDS MESSAGING AND DATA MANAGEMENT ?



in the exam guide it also mentions creating connecting to a local
database. what does that mean? does it mean SQL database or oracle?<-- SQL as

Re: [flexcoders] image snapshot in flex

[leds usop]

without remoting, and using string param only, encode the image as jpeg or png 
(depending on your requirement) . then convert it to base64 string which you 
can pass to the serlvet via post (or get, whatever) . Then decode at the 
backend accordingly as a jpeg file or png file which is you can make available 
to the user. This is not the fastest solution performance-wise but it does get 
the job done expecially for snapshots.

I'd like to add a button so the user can snapshot a graph in my

it.  Since I don't

best solution 

would be to send the image to say a new browser window, possibly via a servlet? 
 But I'm not 

sure how to do this or if this is the best solution.  Any ideas or examples of 
how this should 

be done?  Here is a little snippet of the method I use to encode the image into 
a byteArray:



private function saveImage(e: ImageUpdateEvent ):void {

var comp:UIComponent = e.comp; 

var imageSnap:ImageSnap shot = ImageSnapshot. captureImage( 
comp);

var imageByteArray: ByteArray = imageSnap.data as ByteArray;

imgSave.saveImage( imageByteArray, e.name+"-img. png");

}

I have created a checkbox renderer.  My datagrid has 5 out of 8
 columns that use it.  The datagrid has only about 80 rows it it.  When
 using this renderer the performance of the datagrid is horrible. 
 Scrolling is extremely slow, click a checkbox is extremely slow.  If I
 swap out and use a normal mx:CheckBox for the renderer the performance
 is just fine, but of course that doesn't work as it will not retain
 the state of the checkbox when scrolling.  Here is my code for the
 renderer.  I notice that many of these are re-executed whenever
 anything happens to the datagrid.  That includes just mousing over.

 Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Adding several NumericSteppers = Total

[leds usop]

Here's an updated version of that code that allows you
to set the maximum value during runtime and
automatically compensates if the current total is
greater that the maximum allowable total set. Also,
this compensates for instances that a number bigger
than than the maximum allowable total is entered into
one of the 5 steppers:

Re: [flexcoders] Adding several NumericSteppers = Total

[leds usop]

you could use repeater component with numericsteppers
as children and a text box for the sum instead. But i
guess what you need is something more straightforward
and simple like this:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute">














This code initially sets the maximum value for all the
steppers to uint.MAX_VALUE (4294967295) - but i guess
you may want to change that accordingly. I have
intentionally disabled mouseclicks on the "total"
stepper (like I said you could use a text box instead
- unless you really need to be able to increment the
total stepper manually as well). Upon testing, you'll
see that when max value for total is reached, you will
not be able to increment the steppers unless you
decrement one of them  - in which case, 1 increment
will be allowed and so on and so fort.

Hoe this helps :) Cheers!

Re: [flexcoders] Is there a mouseOverIndex? - QUICK SOLUTION

[leds usop]

Hi Guillermo,

try this:
private function handleMouseEvent(e:MouseEvent):void{

trace(nav_bloque1.getChildIndex(e.target as
DisplayObject));

}


This way, regardless of how many buttons you add or
delete and regardless of the values associated with
them, you will still get the correct index (zero-based
index of course).

Another way to do this - although rather lengthy - is
to catch the label of the target and look it up back
on the dataprovider associated. You will have to deal
with duplicate labels  this way however.

I would have suggested that you subclass button bar
instead and dispatch a custom rollover event so that
you can get whatever details there is in the data
provider that is associated with the 'mouse-overed'
button.  But if you just need the index, i think the
solution above will be enough.

p.s. are you from the Philippines?

Best,
Leds

Re: [flexcoders] logic problem

[leds usop]

Having no text doesnt mean the string value is "". An
Empty string is different from a null or an undefined
value. So i suggest throw in  a check for
undefined/null value as well and if you dont turst
that enough, check for the length as well.

 Moreover, when you say
goodsInAdvice.text.indexOf("/") == 0 ; you are
actually checking for the existence of the "/"
character at the 0th index. If you want to check for
it's absence, try goodsInAdvice.text.indexOf("/") ==
-1 or goodsInAdvice.text.indexOf("/") < 0.

Based on the scenario you have 
give, a null/undefined goodsInAccount.text and a
goodsInAdvice.text with "/" in the beginning will
really return true.

Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid + Web Service

[leds usop]

for our case, we did the sorting at the back end -
overriding the default behavior of the datagrid
headers when they are clicked and then returning the
pagenated data after sorting. It really is - in
essence - changing the dataprovider of the datagrid
during both page requests and sorting requests.  This
however necessiated that we come up with a 'selection
manager' helper class to go with the component. What
this class does is just to remember which items had

Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection problem (binding to a Datagrid)

[leds usop]

this has been addressed in a previous post.
do a type check for objectproxy before assigning here:

grilleTerrainsACDP = event.result.terrains.terrain;

to have this:

if(event.result.terrains.terrain is ObjectProxy){
var t:Array=
ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result.terrains.terrain);
grilleTerrainsACDP= new ArrayCollection(t);
}else{
grilleTerrainsACDP = event.result.terrains.terrain;

[flexcoders] CubeRotate Distortion effect in Safari

[leds usop]

HI all,

I have a cube-rotating view stack with 2 views:1- a
chart filter which allows data filtering and request
from a servlet and, 2- a chart title screen showing
additional info about the chart as well as the
pagenation controls.  Initial view is 2.  The filter
view is populated using a repeater control. The
repeated item is a  custom component capable of
displaying different types of form controls depending
on the dataprovider. This works fine in IE,forefox,
and in opera. howver, safari simply doesnt show the
repeated components.  I know that only the repeated
components are not shown since I always have one
non-repeated "generate chart" button added after all
the repeated items are in place.  This button shows up
in Safari as well... but no repeated items.  

So i guess im really not sure if this is because of
the distortion effect in safari or the repeater.
Anyone got  relevant info to this?

any input will be very helpful. Thnx so much

Re: [flexcoders] ActionScript:: Determining Array Length in Multidemensional Arrays

i dont know if this is really the cause of your
problem, but for determining length of arrays, you use
.length property .. not .length() method.

If that was just typo error, can you elaborate why
from the given example you 'know' you have two rows
and columns? How are the data related to each other?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Making itemRenders call a function on the component they're in

[leds usop]

when you say 'some data' on the component, do you
really mean just bits of data per se? or are there
some sort of 'validating' functions in that component?
 Having your item renderers access  data from your
wrapping component does not necessarily mean 'bad
practice'. It depends  on how you allowed the
renderers to access those data. ;) (i.e. is it  via
direct property access, via events? etc).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Making itemRenders call a function on the component they're in

[leds usop]

oh no. not really. my bad, what i mean is, have the
component containing the list handle that event. So
it's just a matter of bubbling that event. and in that
handler, you can call that event.. or you can even
make that function itself as the event handler.

Re: [flexcoders] Making itemRenders call a function on the component they're in

[leds usop]

brute force solution would be to include a reference
to  the list component in the data being passed to the
item renderer. there are probably other ways to do
this.
but Id rather have the renderer dispatch a custom
event and handle that in the list component... then in
the handler, call that function.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How does sprite listener work?

the modal alert window causes  your problem.  When the
modal Alert activates, it 'forces' your mouse to leave
that sprite and hence making it think that a mouse

[flexcoders] HitArea of pieChart when adding call out and explode.

[leds usop]

HI all,

Hi Ely,

Anyone know of a way to retain the effective HitArea
of a pie series after adding datatip call outs and
explode? It seems that after adding perwedgeexplode
and callouts, the hitarea for each wedge is dminished.
Or will it be better to add the callouts as sort of
annotation elements using datadrawing canvas? Im also
thinking I can perhaps set a a new sprite as a
particular wedge's hitarea but then again i really
dont know which is more practical.. Right now I have
settled with setting the calloutgap to a negative
value to allow it to overlap on the pie.. but some
callout lines become crooked ;p

Any sugguestions? Thnx!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Result to ArrayCollection - somtimes node is single, sometimes it's an array

[leds usop]

If the result format is set to object... or not set at
all (default is object), the result will be wrapped by
an ObjectProxy if there's a single node. Hence
Andrew's solution should do the trick.  However, in my
case, to ensure that I can indeed use it as an array i
do:

ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result.SomeNode);

then assign that to arr if its a valid array (or throw
an error if not). then set arr as the source of the
new arraycollection.

I think my last lines are a bit vague and confusing.
It isnt the actual index in the dataprovider.. but
rather the offset in the data provider of properties
depending on how you have laid out your elements. So

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Can anyone help on getting data from a grid cell .. I know the row/column index

[leds usop]

OMG i just realized I just gave you the reverse of
what you are asking for haha. my bad.   anyway, try
using datagrid's indicesToIndex() method. It will
return the index (in your dataprovider)... I assume
you can then look up your dataprovider to determine
which item/prop/text is which? :)

Cheers!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Can anyone help on getting data from a grid cell .. I know the row/column index

[leds usop]

Hi listen for the itemclickevent and then use
specifically ListEvent as the event type paramter of
the listener then use the rowIndex and columnindex
properties like so:

private function test(e:ListEvent):void{
trace(e.rowIndex.toString());
trace(e.columnIndex.toString());
}

be aware however that these indeces are relative to
the visual grid, hence the headers (if you use them)
are counted. Just compensate approprately.. like
subtract 1 from the rowindex. :) Cheers!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Dynamically creating a text object

Actually Tim, he already mentioned in a previous post
that more than just to add a circle, he wanted to add
a circle.. and rotate it to vertical. i have already
suggested adding the text child directly to the canvas
(main or child.. shouldnt really matter). However, i
think what makes the text not render is the rotate
action he is applying. I dunno, correct me if im
wrong.. but you cant rotate text and have it render
correctly like other visual stuff (basic shapes, etc)
without embedding the font am i right?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Accessing FLEX data from within a SWF??

[leds usop]

running out of ideas here, although i dont know why
externalinterface didnt work for you, unless you are
not allowed to touch the code of the flex swf and
recompiling it to expose the vars inside to the
wrapping exe.  we did that in a VB-C++ and flex
project - i had thought it will work for swfkit.

anyway, i dont know if this will help but  in case you
dont know, there is a way similar to using _root in a
flash swf: MovieClip(mx.core.Application) the
movieclip casting is just so the compiler wont nag
you. Im not sure if that's what you really need, but
it might help point to the right way :P May the force
be with you :D

Re: [flexcoders] Dynamically creating a text object

[leds usop]

you didnt mention the vertical flip in your prior post
:).  If you dont apply the flip, the text and circle
will display fine.  But the addition of the flip
requires that you embed the font in the text
component. see the docs on how to embed fonts using
styles. :)

try this if you havent yet:
var childCanvas: Canvas = new Canvas();
var t:Text= new Text();
t.text="this is a circle";
t.x=220;
t.y=140;
childCanvas.graphics.lineStyle (1, 0x33, 1);
childCanvas.graphics.beginFill (0xCC, 0.6);
childCanvas.graphics.drawCircle(200,150, 7);
childCanvas.graphics.endFill( );
childCanvas.id = "myCircle";
childCanvas.toolTip = "I'm a circle";
childCanvas.addChild(t);


mainCanvas.addChild(childCanvas);

Re: [flexcoders] referencing or travesing display objects from custom class

[leds usop]

you may have to override updatedisplaylist andor
addchild in your thingy class. 

here are two ways you can try to access a child of
your main app from within another child:

1- call parentDocument.mycanvas from that other class.
although that will work only if that other class is an
immediate child of your main application - it wont
work if it's wrapped within another class or
component... besides that is not a very good practice
in my opinion.

2 - create a reference to the loading application
component  by including a 'caller' property in your
custom thingy class and setting that to your main
application during instantiation.  Hence, you can
access the children and public properties of your main
application from within your thingy class using
caller.something .

However I suggest you dispatch a bubbling event
instead from the custom thingy class then listen for
that event within your main application -- then add
the child within the listener. Or use cairngorm's
event mechanism to do away with bubbling events. :)

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Accessing FLEX data from within a SWF??

[leds usop]

You cant access avm2(as2 swfs) scripts loaded within
avm3 (as3 swfs -->flex swfs) and vice versa. Well at
least not directly. If you forcibly load an as3 swf in
flash 8, certainly you will not be able to see the
scripts/ vars within except perhaps the version var.
Same thing goes with loading as2 swfs within as3,
unless you are using the as2 swf as assets for
skinning and the like, you will lose the
script-enabled functionalities in that as2 swf.   You
can check out the docs for more details about this. 

You may want to take a look at FlashInterface here:
http://www.flashextensions.com/products/flashinterface.php

although i think you will have to change which loads
which... anyway, it's better than not being able
to use your as2 functionalities entirely - unless you
port all of them into as3 :)  I hope that helps. Best
of luck!

Re: [flexcoders] Invoking datagrid column sort programmatically

[leds usop]

you could actually, by subclassing the datagrid class
and exposing the  private method sortByColumn - the
method called by header release event handler in the
datagrid as class file. However, I am more inclined to
sticking with adobe's private implementation of this
class and do the sorting instead at the dataprovider
level; that way you get finer control over the sorting
process.. then update the datagrid display :)

[flexcoders] ACCESS ITEM RENDERER

[leds usop]

To all those who didnt know previously, you can access
a listbase  (DataGridBase, List, TileBase and
subclasses of those) class'/component's item renderer
by:

componentID.indexToItemRenderer(k).PROP=propertyvalue;


where :
k is the index of the item in the dataprovider
represented by the renderer (or if you are listening
for a click or rollover, just the returned index);

PROP is a property of your itemrenderer;

component ID is your component's id of course :P

you can also access the data property of that
itemrenderer using:

componentID.indexToItemRenderer(k).data.DataPROPERTYNAME


But of course it is almost always best to leave the
itemrenderers and work on the dataprovider instead.
But for those who really need to ( like me, a while
ago teehee), here's your solution.  I didnt know
before since I always go to the dataproviders
instead... anyway, i hope that helps someone. :P

Cheers!

Re: [flexcoders] init() getting called more than once

[leds usop]

which component are you firing the creationcomplete
event from? Moreover, have you checked if you didnt
call another creationcomplete triggering action within
the init() function?  In any case, one quick solution
would be to declare a boolean tag/var (initially set
to false) which you will set to true upon first
httpservice invoking.. then have your init check for
that boolean tag/var first before executing any
actions. That way even if your init() is called
multiple times, you will be assured that the service
will only be called once. :) But I strongly suggest
you look for the real cause of the multiple call. a
code post would help. Cheers!

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2 XML manipulation question

[leds usop]

a little revision to my previous post. you can also
modify this to delete 'nodes' according to supplied
attribute or index. this time it will certainly throw
null when parameter is not XMl and XMllist; returns
XMLlist if successful. I must warn you, this uses
recursion tho. Some developers feel it's not a good
practice to do so. beats me, i just need it to work :P

And oh of course this only works on the as3 xml . not
on the legacy XMLNode  from as2. PLease let me know if
you have optimized/clean up the code and the logic
itself. Ill certainly be using it in a project im
working in. thnx!

public  function
deleteDescendantsByName(a:*,nodeName:String):XMLList{

var r:XMLList=null;

if (a.length()>=1&&((a is XML)||(a is XMLList))){
r = new XMLList();

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2 XML manipulation question

[leds usop]

this isnt exactly a clean and optimized code, but it
works. just tweak it according to your needs. It
accepts both xml and xmllist. heck it will even accept
any object so long as there is a length() method in
it, however in that case, it will just return the
original object. let me know if it helped.. or if you
encounter any problems. Cheers! :)

[flexcoders] DIspatch custom event within a SIngleton's constructor.

[leds usop]

will the event fire appropriately? I have tried firing
one from the singleton pattern implementation which
doesnt use a hidden helper class - just like in ted's
JAM: Singleton take 2(?). I was trying to dispatch a
custom event right after the first instantiation of a
singleton class and have it bubble up through
indefinite parent/container classes. Is this a bad
idea? any alternative ideas on how to fire the event
from the class itself upon it's first instantiation?
Is placing it in the constructor the same as placing
it in the getInstance method? THnx!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: (Added ) Selecting datagrid row on rollover...

[leds usop]

hi jamie, 
try re-assigning the same 'highlight' color in the
rightclick event handler.

Sanjay,
you will have to be specific how you intend to provide
an alternative means of selecting multiple rows. If im
not mistaken, dragging works - but it wont do with
discontinuous selections. Hence we go back to the same
question, how do you intend to provide that
functionality? There are various ways to do this I
think. here are a few: Use Checkboxes as itemrenderers
which toggles the select property when the checkbox is
checked. Or set select property on mouseclick without
using other renderers alone (right click, left click,
or doubleclick). OR you can use a separate control
altogether (like a separate checkbox group).

Re: [flexcoders] Help with Variable ItemRenderer

[leds usop]

better do it in Actionscript. Use either the
initialize or the updateComplete events to trigger
your itemrenderer change... also consider that you cnt
set a string as the itemrenderer like what you
'seemingly' do in mxml. you wil have to use a
classfactory to be able to use the class/UIcomponent
you want. Moreover,depending on where and when you set
your itemrenderer, you  may have to invoke
invalidateproperties(), invalidatesize(), and/or
updatedisplaylist.

THnx for the quick reply Ely. I guess im gonna have to
call you chart guru then. Kidding. :)

Regarding your pivot/OLAP experiments, can you give us
pointers on how to implement them? Currently we are
planning to subclass datagrid for that. Is that - from
your experience - the best starting point? And is
there any chance that youll be sharing your code :D.
THnx again!

[flexcoders] PIVOT CHART (&table) .

[leds usop]

HI All, (Especially hi to Chartman Ely ahem. :))

We have a current project which requires a datagrid to
have filter and pivot table capabilities on top of the
sort capability. Using that custom datagrid's pivot
table functionality will be based on using MS Excel's
pivot table. OUr problem however is not on the table
but on the chart that is supposedly generated from the
pivot table. A pivot chart can have multi-level
horizontal labels and tick marks (for those not
familiar with pivot table chart, if you have say, a
chain of 3 row categories with 3 non-numeric values
for each, the x-axis will be divided primarily by the
3 values from the first category - then each of those
values will be subvidivided by the number of values
the second category have and so on - sort of a
fractal/recursive/pyramiding behavior). So with all
that said and knowing that we are to use stacked bar
chart mean time (although we will probably be required
to support the other chart types as well) what is the
best way to go about this? Should we play around with
the horizontal axis renderer alone? OR should we
sublass the whole chart? Or is the data drawing canvas
(with custom components inside) the best way to do
this? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thnx !

Re: [flexcoders] Paging with DataGrid??

[leds usop]

a workaround is to 'page' your source dataprovider
instead taking only N number of elements at a time and
passing it as the datagrid's dataprovider. If your
source dataprovider is an array, you can use the slice
method  and set the result as the datagrid's data
provider.

Re: [flexcoders] Need advice on which Event I should be using -

[leds usop]

you can do away with the conventional [bindable]
metatag for binding your dataprovider and use
getter-setter instead with a custom flexevent
triggered everytime the setter is called.

or just use the valuecommit event. just make sure you
dont include another value-commit-triggering action
(such as setting another data provider) in the
listener.

Re: [flexcoders] basic architecture question

[leds usop]

Amen to that. I had to work with a related issue using
repeater. But ours  involved a dynamically generated
form with images which positions it's children
depending on the config xml passed into it. Embed
simply cannot work for the reason stated by ralf. So
we simply used url's passed in by the same config xml.


However, you should take note that using a repeater to
tile your custom component will leave the
'positioning'  work to you. Hence I suggest you use
another component such as TileList and have your
custom component be the item renderer. For this kind
of approach, you can bind the 'image urls' inside the
custom component itself by using the data property of
the base class from which you derived your custom
component and of course setting the dataprovider of
your tilelist to an arraycollection(or whatever type
suitable ie XMLlist)  which contains all the data you
need to show.

 AS for the repeater - although I dont suggest using
that unless you terribly need to - you can access the
individual repeater instances using the id of the
repeater and the index of the item you wish to access.
Say you named our repeater rep, you can access the nth
repeated component using rep[n] followed by whatever
property you want to access assuming the component is
fully instantiated and that property exists. Cheers.

Or, better yet, check out ely's datacanvas drawing

Re: [flexcoders] 3D Charts for Flex 2

[leds usop]

it's a great idea. we are also looking into including
3D charts feature in the current web app we are
working; on top of being able to skin them at run time
based on some themes. Although it's not a priority.
and before you do start, please do checkout 3d charts
extension for flex at adobe.com. It's shareware tho
and the author didnt include the source for the
component. I also noticed that animation of the 3d
charts cause almost 100% spike up in CPU usage (that's
on a Pentium 4 3Ghz mchine with 800 Mhz FSB and 2 Gigs
memory) - so i think CPU usage is one of the major
things to consider coz who would even want to use a
feature which will hug your system resource right?
Needless to say, real time data updating sustains a
minimum 50% CPU usage and even crashes the browser.
But im sure the author is looking into that now. It's
really a great piece of work.. and I think he is the
guy you should first talk with. cheers!

Re: [flexcoders] Repeater Control

[leds usop]

actually you dont realy need a repeater to do that.
you can instantiate a label control everytime your
timer  dispatches an event instead: create new label
control instances, set their text to the current xml
items being read. however, you will have to handle the
placement (x,y) to avoid having them on top of each
other.  BUt if you really need a repeater
implementation, I will have to warn you that the code
im posting below 'redraws' everything each time two(or
more) items are displayed at a time. So if you have
like 1000 entries, it will draw 2 (or whatever number
of elements you need to display at a time) first, then
will erase everything before redrawing the first 4
elements.. etc.  You can however set new repeater
instances each time the timer 'ticks' and pass in the
current set of xml elemnts as dataprovider.that will
require you to instatiate unique repeaters everytime
the timer 'ticks'. Hence As I have said, you dont
really need a repeater component for that, you can
directly instantiate label/text components then pass
in the xml elemnts you need for their text. Below is
the code you need. This implementation automatically
adjusts the total time depending on your xml
provider's length and the number of elements you set
to display  Cheers!

Re: [flexcoders] Repeater Control

[leds usop]

It looks like i overlooked what you really need. I
thought you want elements to APPEND 2 elements
(ormore) at a time. My bad. Anyway the code only
requires a few changes to achieve that result.
Although i really think use of repeater is not
necessary unless you want to display say, 30 elements
at a time? anyway here's the revised code:

RE: [flexcoders] Re: file download doesnt work?

[leds usop]

have you tried attaching event listeners to the open
and complete events of your urlloader instance then
tracing the MIME type of the downloaded data (for the
complete event)? This way youll see if a download
actually commences (on open) and if the downloaded
data is decoded properly (on  complete). It is
possible that the dataformat of the urlloader instance
data is not what you require. just a thought

Re: [flexcoders] Building workspace - lowering the time

[leds usop]

I dunno if this holds true with you guys but I noticed
having a lot of application mxml in the same project
folder burdens flex a lot. So im guessing when flex is
'building workspace' - one of the memory intensive
task it does is checking each application in your
project directory and looking for dependencies (broken
ones, updated ones, erroneous ones etc). Correct me if
im wrong - moreover i think it updates the project
property file associated with the current project.  I
have also tried moving to a new workspace for every
big project i have to do - probably it's overkill --
or even unrelated.. but i have to convince myself im
doing something to make it compile faster :D (im
running it on 1.5 GB mem  with 3GHz processor at
800mhz FSB.. it's not top of the line but i had not
expected it to choke on a Flex compile. Apparently i
was wrong. So on top of run-time advantages, having
the mx module component in the next flex release will
allow us to create separate application  and project
filers for the parts/modules we need.)

[flexcoders] Datefield maxYear behavior Verification

[leds usop]

I have observed (both in Flex version 2 and 2.01
PreRealease) that on a datefield (and probably
datechooser control too) with navigateYear set to
enabled,  if the maxYear was  set to the
selectedDate's Year, the set maxYear value seems to be
nullified.

i.e., selected date is January 1, 2006, and for some
reason maxYear is set to 2006, you can then navigate
beyond 2006 using the year navigation arrows. However,
if you set the maxYear to 2007 (or any year after
2006), maxYear does it's job fine and so you cant
navigate beyond 2007.

This will help a lot in the date interval component I
am creating from 2 datefields since I have to
programmatically set the maxYear of the 'From'
datefield to be equal to the year of 'To' datefield's
selectedDate whenever a new To date is selected (and
vice versa when a new 'From' date is selected.  The
strange maxYear behavior gets in the way of
implementing that functionality most especially if the
initial values  of the two dates fall within the same
year.

Can you guys verify of this behavior is true to your
copies of Flex? If it is, then I should probably file
a bug. THnx!

Re: [flexcoders] Problems with a DateField as an itemRenderer/editor

[leds usop]

Is onItemEnd a custom event listener? or do you mean
onItemEditEnd?  I dont recall having an 'onItemEnd'
associated with Datagrid listener in any way.. please
correct me if im wrong. 

When you use a datefield as item renderer or item
editor a list control (or any drop-in item
renderer/item editor), make sure that the data
provider of that list control has a field of type Date
(or the expected data type of the drop-in item
renderer you used). Since Data Grid is derived from
List base, this means it applies to it as well. Have
you considered that?

Re: [flexcoders] To Adobe - new release improvements??

[leds usop]

Im not from Adobe but thanks to Matt CHotin, I have
been given the oppportunity to play with the
prerelease 2.01 update... They say it's not a major
release but for me, the inclusion of the mx:module
support/framework is one big help... think of the
capability of 'breaking apart' your big apps into
modular ones which the user will only have to download
once on demand - all that while having the framework
take care of most of the communication between the
modules and the shell application or other modules. On
top of that, you can still leverage on using RSL's,
externs, fzip and any other file size/download time
management methods adn tehcniques. And oh yeah, they
have several bugs fixed already.

Again thans Matt.

RE: [flexcoders] Minimizing File Size

[leds usop]

in relation to this topic, probably mx:module will
help a lot once available. although it has already
been posted that the 2.01 update will be available
early next year, I cnt wait to get my hands on it.
Is there any chance of getting a prerelease copy of
2.01 at this time? we are currently working on a large
web ap similar to google analytics.  This is a
combination of ajax and flex; where the number of
instances of the flex swf's are to be determined by
the user at runtime. I understand that RSL's will
probably be part of the option now. But looking at
roger's blog, going Modular will surely cut the file
size heavily. It would ba a waste of time to
reimplement everything once the mx:module support is
out. Hence, guys, is there any way I can get hold of a
prerelease? Although I understand it may be
incomplete, at least we wouldnt have to worry about
changing the entire architecture once 2.01 is out.
Thnx in advance.

Yep, you will want as only for that. To make things
easier for you, layout things in flex, then compile
while setting the compiler to retain the generated AS
files, im sure you will find a thing or two in those
files to help you in your AS flash file generator.
Goodluck!

Re: [flexcoders] encodings problem

the mxml header itself? just in case you havent tried
that.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Minimum size of a Flex 2.0 application

[leds usop]

that is roughly the payload from the flex framework
when you use the "application" tag. if you really want
to use flex as "flash-file-generator", compile an as3
swf file from flex based on the sprite class only and
import only what you need. The way I understand it you
mean swf loader when you say flash-file-generator? If
that's the case, create an AS class in flex based on
sprite, import the loader class (and loaderinfo class
if you need that too) then compile. You should have
roughly 500bytes to a little over 1 kilobyte if all
you are after is dynamic swf loading.

Re: [flexcoders] Slide Show

[leds usop]

are you sure you wanna do that in flex? it's a lot
lighter (filesize) if you do it in flash instead. just
a suggestion.
