[flexcoders] Wondering about buttons..
I have always wondered what the best way to do this was: I need to create a reusable button, but this button will sometimes have an arrow on the right side, an 'x' on the right side, or nothing on the right side. There might be the possibility to have these on the left side too. I have attempted this before, but I have never really come up with an elegant solution. Just wondering what the best/cleanest way to do this would be? Thanks!
[flexcoders] Performance Question
Basically, Our users have a group of Individuals (com.gladhandle.IndividualVO) and in one part of the application they can search the individuals. However, one of our milestones is that they are able to search and the results are refreshed on keyup of a textinput. Seeing as this could and would cause problems with the application if I hit the back end with an AMF call every key up, I was considering loading all of their individuals at startup. The majority of our users will have relatively small number of individuals (50 to 100 or so). Some will have a lot (500 to 1000) and VERY FEW will have more than that. Which path would be better, searching and filtering by making an AMF call which would make a subsequent database call and roundtrip the information back to me, or take the initial hit to load them all at startup? Thanks!

[flexcoders] Custom Alert - When I add more than one, the only one I can close is the top.
This is what my code looks like:
---
private static var _alertUI:GHAlertUI = new GHAlertUI();
public static const CUSTOM_EVENT:String = GHAlertEvent;
public function GHAlert(){
}
public static function show( message:String, title:String=null,
buttons:Array=null, closeHandler:Function=null ):void {
_alertUI = GHAlertUI( PopUpManager.createPopUp( Application.application as
DisplayObject, GHAlertUI, true ) );
PopUpManager.centerPopUp( _alertUI );
if( closeHandler != null ) _alertUI.addEventListener( CUSTOM_EVENT,
closeHandler );
//Buttons
var button:GHAlertButton;
if( !buttons || buttons.length == 0 ){
button = new GHAlertButton();
button.labelText = 'OK';
button.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler );
_alertUI.buttons.addChild( button );
}
else {
for( var i:int=0; ibuttons.length;i++){
button = new GHAlertButton();
button.labelText = buttons[i].toString().toUpperCase();
button.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler );
_alertUI.buttons.addChildAt( button, 0 );
}
}
}
private static function buttonClickHandler( event:MouseEvent ):void {
_alertUI.dispatchEvent( new GHAlertEvent( CUSTOM_EVENT,
event.currentTarget.labelText ) );
PopUpManager.removePopUp( _alertUI );
}
---
So basically if I do GHAlert.show() it works fine, however, if I do
GHAlert.show() twice, the only one that works is the top, so if I close the
top the buttons don't work on the bottom, almost like the events aren't firing.
Thanks for any help!
[flexcoders] flex 4 gumbo and setStyle()
For some reason, when using flex 4, setStyle() is not working.
Is this method deprecated in gumbo?
The code I am using
mx:Button label=test id=testButton borderColor=0x00
click=testButton.setStyle('borderColor', 0xff); /
It does not work for some reason, but it worked fine in flex 3.
Any help would be appreciated!

[flexcoders] Architecture / Design question...
I have a situation in which I am currently using a very ugly set up to get the job done, but I want to change this (will explain) and I am looking for some insight. The process is this. A user gets to a piece of our app and they are presented with some options. The options are very different depending on which route they take to get there. For instance, they might see a checkbox about saving a piece of their file as a note. They might see a set of radio buttons to order different quantities (in this case the price can change depending on which radio button is selected [the price is on the same screen]). They might see a mailing address or an email address, depending on the medium of the item they are purchasing. Basically, the options vary greatly, so I currently have a different custom component depending on which they are using. I want to be able to use one component and have different options on that component, but I am not sure of an efficient way to do it. I know this is random and probably not easily answered without a specific understanding of the system, but I thought I would ask :)

[flexcoders] Requesting images says its non secure?
I was wondering if anyone could help me here.. We have a site that is SSL encrypted, and I embed a flex app inside the html of it. When I launch the app, it gives a popup (only in IE) saying a secure site is requesting non secure information. However, the only images I request are requested by the url: https://www.oursite.com/files/. When I look at it in firebug, all requests are sent over https. Anyone know why this might be happening? /files/ is a symbolic link to http://files.gladhandle.com, which is not secure. However, in HTML, the popup is gone when we go to the symbolic link, it is still there in the flash.

[flexcoders] Resizing Images.
Hello! Our application needs the ability to take a logo (which gets uploaded in a different interface via rails) and resize it dynamically depending on which item they are purchasing. As of right now, I am using a Loader and when Event.COMPLETE is dispatched, I catch it, create a new width/height, call myMatrix.scale(newW,HewH), than bitmapFill on a UIComponent using the bitmapData and my matrix. Everything works, in that it does resize the image, but they quality is not very good, some of them are decent looking, and others do not handle aliasing well at all. Smoothing is set to true when I do the bitmapFill. Is there a better way to do this? Should I be creating a new image with the data rather than resizing the data dynamically? Halp! :( Thanks!

This dataprovider is populated with custom components as well.
When I change the selected index, it removes all the children (but
they still exist in the dataprovider, so 'session' data should be
saved), but when I navigate back to an index I have already visited,
everything is still there, EXCEPT for the format of the text, it for
some reason, is reset back to the original text, even though I have
setTextFormat() and set the defaultTextFormat on the TextField.
Any ideas?
[flexcoders] Re: TextFormat being reset?
I created a new Text class that extended Text.
I then change the textField.defaultTextFormat and call
textField.setTextFormat().
It works when I set it on creationComplete, but then when I remove and
add the editor again (which cntains the new Text), it takes all the
textFormat styles off.

[flexcoders] Dynamic Tags (more of an SQL question, but concerns parsing data in Flex)
Basically, when I query a database, if I get back a row that has contactType='contactInformation', I have to display all of the piece of contactInformation I have for a given user... Usually: Full Name Job Title Phone Phone Phone Address Email Website Here is the problem, I want to be able to dynamically change different pieces of the information (normally Full Name could be a little bit bigger + bold, and the website could be a different color) I can't just pull each piece out of the database separately, because some users could have 15 phone numbers, others might not have an address, etc... The table looks like this: field_type x_offset y_offset Any ideas on what I can add to the table to tell myself what styles to put on different pieces?
[flexcoders] TextField
How do you add a TextField to the screen?
I tried using the same example from the dynamic help, but nothing is
appearing...
package assets {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
public class RMText extends Sprite {
private var label:TextField;
private var labelText:String = Hello world and welcome to the show.;
public function RMText() {
configureLabel();
setLabel(labelText);
}
public function setLabel(str:String):void {
label.text = str;
}
private function configureLabel():void {
label = new TextField();
label.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
label.background = true;
label.border = true;
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.align = 'left';
format.font = Verdana;
format.color = 0xFF;
format.size = 10;
format.underline = true;
label.defaultTextFormat = format;
addChild(label);
}
}
}
This does not seem to do anything... For some reason when I add this
to the screen I cannot see anything, but I am not sure why, as I
copied it directly from dynamic help...
Any ideas? (UITextField causes the same issue)...
[flexcoders] Regular Expressions?
If I have these two dynamic tags: name color=ff size=20 /address color=ff size=16 / How can I use a Regular Expression, or some other way, to first only get everything between name and /, than to parse each field for the value?
[flexcoders] Re: Regular Expressions?
Ok, I have figured out a way to get the tags... now I have one problem... I get the name properties, like this: var ptrn:RegExp = /name(.?*)\//; Now, is it possible to use a variable in there for name? Something like this: var field:String = 'name'; var ptrn:RegExp = /field(.?*)\//; Y/N?
[flexcoders] Re: Regular Expressions?
one problem: It comes back like this: name color=ff size=16 /address color=00 size=20 align=left /phone ... etc / So, how would I separate them by the node that I am currently working with?
[flexcoders] Re: Regular Expressions?
I do have this working, however... but I am facing 1 problem: var ptrn:RegExp = new RegExp(+tag+(.*?)\/); tag can be 'name', 'address', 'phone', etc... What I am having the problem with, is it is returning everything before and after the match too.. so for the previous example (name color=ff size=16 /address color=00 size=20 /), it works like this: tag = 'name'; // color=ff size=16 address color=00 size=20 / tag = 'address'; // name color=ff size=16 / color=00 size=20 So, what I need to do is not return anything before the tag or after the /...
[flexcoders] Re: Regular Expressions?
Well basically, I will get a string with multiple pieces name ... / address ... / phone ... / ETC.. Basically, I need to say var string:XML = currentpiece (name ... /, address ... /, etc).. So how can I (like how I pass tag in for the regexp) separate the address / tag or whatever, depending on which node (address, name, phone, etc) I am working with?

[flexcoders] Help with Custom Text Area (Limited by lines)
This is my code:
public class LimitedTextArea extends TextArea {
private static const MAX_LINES:int = 10;
private var storedInput:String;
private var limitHit:Boolean = false;
public function LimitedTextArea(){
this.addEventListener( KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUpHandler );
this.addEventListener( KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler );
this.addEventListener( Event.CHANGE, changeHandler );
}
//--
// EVENT LISTENERS
//--
protected override function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
storedInput = this.text;
var tf:TextField = TextField( this.textField );
if( tf.numLines MAX_LINES )
limitHit = true;
}
protected override function keyUpHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if( limitHit ){
this.text = storedInput;
limitHit = false;
}
}
private function changeHandler( event:Event ):void {
if( limitHit ){
this.text = storedInput;
limitHit = false;
}
}
//--
}
If I just keep entering down and typing stuff in, it works and stops
me from typing more... the problem is when I try to go back and edit
what I have typed, the limit has been hit (10 lines)... I am not sure
how to allow deleting or editing as long as it still does not go
longer than allowed...
Any ideas? ( I tried what you said Alex, but I couldn't get it to work
properly )
[flexcoders] Re: Help with Custom Text Area (Limited by lines)
public class LimitedTextArea extends TextArea {
private static const MAX_LINES:int = 10;
private var textLength:int = 0;
private var storedInput:String;
private var limitHit:Boolean = false;
public function LimitedTextArea(){
this.addEventListener( KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUpHandler );
this.addEventListener( KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler );
this.addEventListener( Event.CHANGE, changeHandler );
}
//--
// EVENT LISTENERS

}
protected override function keyUpHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
var tf:TextField = TextField( this.textField );
if( limitHit tf.length textLength ){
this.text = storedInput;

var tf:TextField = TextField( this.textField );
if( limitHit tf.length textLength ){
this.text = storedInput;
limitHit = false;
}
}
//--
}
This does work if I want to go back and change a letter to a different
letter, but I guess another problem I am having is that I want to be
able to keep typing as long as I do not go further than the line limit...
For instance, let's say I hit my limit, but I hit it like this:
a
a
a
a
a
a
a
I should be able to go up in the first couple lines and keep typing,
because it won't push the bottom line out any further...
[flexcoders] Re: Help with Custom Text Area (Limited by lines)
Yes, it would, and I think I just figured out how to do it...
A few changes and I have come up with this:
public class LimitedTextArea extends TextArea {
private static const MAX_LINES:int = 10;
private var allowMore:Boolean = true;
public function LimitedTextArea(){
addEventListener(flash.events.TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT,textInputHandler );
}
//--
// EVENT LISTENERS
//--
override protected function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if( textField.numLines == MAX_LINES event.keyCode == 13 )
allowMore = false;
else {
if( textField.numLines MAX_LINES )
allowMore = false;
else
allowMore = true;
}
super.keyDownHandler(event);
}
override protected function keyUpHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if( !allowMore text.charAt(text.length-1) == '\r' ){
text = text.substr(0,text.length-1);
}
super.keyUpHandler(event);
}
private function textInputHandler( event:TextEvent ):void {
if( !allowMore )
event.preventDefault();
}
//--
}
Do you see any problems with this?
[flexcoders] textArea's that are limited by the amount of lines
Basically, I created a custom component that extends TextArea, and I
created a getter that returns the super.textField.
Right now, I am doing this:
private var savedText:String;
private var limitHit:Boolean = false;
keyDown(){
savedText = textArea.text;
var tf:TextField = TextField( (event.currentTarget as
LimitedTextInput).textField );
if( tf.numLines 14 )
limitHit = true;
}
keyUp(){
if( limitHit ){
textArea.text = savedText;
limitHit = false;
}
}
change(){
if( limitHit ){
textArea.text = savedText;
limitHit = false;
}
}
the problem is, if I hit the limit, I cannot go back and edit the
text, because limitHit is true and I need to know how to say If it is
deleting or changing text that can fit, allow it
Am I even doing this the correct way?
[flexcoders] mouseOver and mouseOut
code: mx:HBox mouseOver=moCanvas.visible=true; mouseOut=moCanvas.visible=false; mx:Text text=test / mx:Canvas id=moCanvas width=10 height=10 visible=false backgroundColor=0x00 / /mx:HBox Obviously simplified, basically I am interested in finding out why the mouseOut event is triggered when I mouse over different parts of the HBox. For instance, when I mouseOver the text, it shows the moCanvas, when I mouse off the text but stay in the HBox it hides the moCanvas... Any ideas?
[flexcoders] HTTPStatusEvent is always 0
Hi, I am using Firefox, and I have found (as I am sure most of you know) that the httpStatus Event on a SWFLoader is always 0, because Firefox does not pass the httpStatus to the flash player... No big deal, as long as there is SOME way to tell if an image loaded succesfully in flex? I can tell if it loads using the complete event, but I cannot tell if it errors, as far as I know, has anyone found any workarounds for this? thanks!

[flexcoders] SWFLoader problems!
I have a .swf that I load into my flex app...
like this:
[Embed(source=swfloader.swf)]
[Bindable]
private var swfLoaderAnimation:Class;
mx:SWFLoader id=loader source={swfLoaderAnimation}
horizontalCenter=0 verticalCenter=0 /
---
The problem(s):
1- Sometimes this swfloader is bigger than the actual swf, and if i
scaleX and scaleY to 0.5, it is the appropriate size. Other times,
however, it is the correct size, and scaling it makes it far too
small... This even happens on the same custom component sometimes :(
2- I do not believe that flex actually knows how tall/wide this swf
is, because the horizontalCenter and verticalCenter seem to center the
top left pixel of the swf instead of the entire swf... if I put it
inside of a hbox with a border, and center that, it shows that the swf
runs off the bottom/right edges of the hbox...
Any help? Thanks :)
[flexcoders] textArea.setFocus();
When I launch my application, if I do this: textArea.selectionBeginIndex=10; textArea.selectionEndIndex=20; textArea.setFocus(); Should it not put the cursor into the textArea and have the 10th through 20th characters selected? So that by default, if I put that in creationComplete, and they just start typing when the app loads, it starts to replace the 10th through 20th characters with what they type? As of right now, I do not see a cursor when I run. Any ideas?!
