[flexcoders] interactive-images

2007-10-15 Thread lruinelli
Hi all,

I would like to use a very simple image-map (a simple interactive
image, not gis!) in a flex gui to let user select things (e.g. select
a way, select a building). Is it possible to do using flex? are there
some samples available?

Thanks!!!

...thanks a lot...but isn't what I need. Spider chart is a type of
chart (like e.g. columnchart, piechart,...)...looking in the net, you
can find a spider chart image sample at the url:

[flexcoders] Re: user configuration file

2007-04-17 Thread lruinelli
the userconfig.xml file using HTTPService seems to be the best
solution (fast and simple)...unfortunately the HTTPService asyncronous
nature make this solution not working!:-( the request need some time
to give the result...in this time flex has already setted the loaded
parameters as null and I give an error!

 Or have the app load a userconfig.xml file using HTTPService.  This

  For the flex application, the configuration of which URLs to access
  etc can come from a single, server side configuration. That can be
  done however you need to with your server side language. To pass
  these configuration values in to your swf file, you need to
  dynamically generate the html which calls your swf. Make sure the
  generation creates javascript variables which have the configuration
  values. The flex application can read these values. I don't recall
  the syntax to do this but there have been relatively recent posts
  that show how.

[flexcoders] question about drag drop support in list-based component

2007-03-18 Thread lruinelli
Hello!

...I developed a custom component named SwapList...to enable the user
to select a set of data from List dragging and dropping it to another
List.

Knowing the flex drag  drop support in list-based component...It
seems very simple...and easy to implement...but I have a problem...if
I put more SwapList component in a form...the user can drag a drop
items from every List of the from to every List of the form!! and I
don't find any work around to avoid nonsense drag and drop!:-(

are there any control which can be performed? 
or have I to implement all the drag and drop support manually?

...thanks for the help!

...pratical description:


the code of my component:


SwapList.mxml
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:HBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=100%
 mx:Script
  ![CDATA[
   import mx.events.DragEvent;
   import mx.managers.DragManager;
   import mx.core.UIComponent;
   import mx.core.DragSource;   

   [Bindable]
   public var _dataProvider: Object;
   [Bindable]   
   public var _labelField: String;


   [Inspectable(defaultValue=null)]
   public function set dataProvider(dataProvider:Object):void {
_dataProvider = dataProvider;
   }

   [Inspectable(defaultValue=)]
   public function set labelField(labelField: String):void {
_labelField = labelField;
_labelField = labelField;   
   }
  ]]
 /mx:Script
 
 mx:List width=300 id=listFrom dragEnter=onDragEnter(event)
dataProvider={_dataProvider} labelField={_labelField}
dropEnabled=true  dragMoveEnabled=true dragEnabled=true
height=74/mx:List

mx:List width=300 id=listTo dragEnter=onDragEnter(event)
labelField={_labelField} dropEnabled=true dragEnabled=true
dragMoveEnabled=true height=74/mx:List
/mx:HBox



this component can be used in a form...as done in the following
extract of code (more SwapList in a form):

...
mx:Form width=100% height=100%
 mx:FormItem label=Set of fruit: width=100% 
  components:SwapList id=FruitSelecton dataProvider={fruits} 
labelField=descr/
 /mx:FormItem 
 mx:FormItem label=Set of car: width=100%
  components:SwapList id=CarSelection dataProvider={cars} 
labelField=dsecr/
 /mx:FormItem 
/mx:Form
...



...in this example user can drag a car from a List of available car
(in the SwapList CarSelection) and drop it in the List of selected
fruits! (in the SwapList FruitSelection) :-((( and my objective is
avoid this kind of selection (using some event to know if the dragged
item comes from the same instance of swaplist component e.g.)

Server Platform Edition 9.0_01 (build b14)...but when I try to modify

[flexcoders] JEE5 web application glassfish EJB Hibernate....how use it by fds and flex?

2007-02-28 Thread lruinelli
Hello,


I have a JEE5 web application based on EJB and Hibernate.
for each entity I have:
- an Hibernate mapping
- a java class
- a controller of the java class (with method to create, modify, ecc
the entity)
- a controllerLocalInterface 
- a controllerRemoteInteface

example for entity Year...i have:
- Year.hbm.xml
- Year.java
- YearControllerBean.java (Year createYear()...updateYear(Year y)...ecc)
- YearControllerLocal.java
- YearRemoteLocal.java


...a java client has the following structures (it works fine!):

public class TestClient {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();

YearControllerRemote yc =(YearControllerRemote)
ic.lookup(YearControllerRemote.class.getName());
Year anno = yc.createYear();
anno.setValue(2013);
yc.updateYear(anno);

...
}


How to perform something like this with fds2 and flex...I see an
article on:

http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pmartin/archives/2006/08/ejb_and_flex_in.cfm

and I based my fds and my client on this (using the given
flex-ejb-factory.jar and configuring remoting-config.xml and
service-config.xml as described)
 
remoting-config.xml:
destination id=MyEJB
 properties
  factoryejb3/factory
  sourceorg.seamless_ip.ontologies.farm.YearControllerBean/source
 /properties
/destination

and service-config.xml:
factories 
 factory id=ejb3 class=com.adobe.ac.ejb.EJB3Factory /
/factories


In the client side I have a YearControllerBean.as and a Year.as 

...my flex client (as entry point I use a remoteObject which point the
org.seamless_ip.ontologies.farm.YearControllerBean):


mx:RemoteObject id=ro destination=MyEJB
/mx:RemoteObject

private function initApp():void
{
year = Year(ro.retrieveYear(1));

}



...but the following error occours:
type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.rpc::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to Year.

Could someone please help me...giving me tricks or interesting link,
samples?

  stringb/string 
 /void 
 void method=add 
  stringa/string 
 /void 
 void method=add 
  stringx/string 
 /void 

b

[flexcoders] void as node name in a XML...reserved keyword!!!???

2007-01-30 Thread lruinelli
ciao!

using the following XML

mx:XML id=test 
 java version=1.5.0_06 class=java.beans.XMLDecoder
  object class=yy.xx.cc.cc.xx.IndicatorFunction
   void property=equation
stringy=ax+b/string
   /void
   void property=label_en
stringfirst indicator/string
   /void
   void property=variable
void method=add
 stringa/string
/void
void method=add
 stringb/string
/void
void method=add
 stringx/string
/void
   /void 
  /object
 /java
/mx:XML

the expression:
 test.object.void.(@property=='equation').string
should has the following result:
 y=ax+b

unfortunately void, the name of the nodes, is a reserved Keyword
in flex and the application is not compiled!
how can I found a workaround without change the XML?
