Re: [flexcoders] Newbie Question: Library Path for Using a 3rd-party utility
Hi Tac, First setup your library project. Then go back to your original project and go into Properties Flex Build Path and click Add Project. A dialog will display available library projects for you to choose. Select your new library and click OK. The workspace will rebuild if it doesn't click Project Clean. From now on your original project will be able to access classes in your library project. Note you may need to open the library project when working in your main project.

Re: [flexcoders] newbie question : putting a semicolon in a mxml property
Not if there is just a single line of script within the quotation marks. If you wanted to do something like this though, mx:Button label=some label click=t1.text = t2.text; doSomethingElse(); t3.visible = false; / Then you do need the semi-colons.

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie Question - databinding an arrayCollection to a List Control
When you set a property of a dataProvider item directly, like:
absentee.selectedItem.status = absent;
the events to update the UI are not dispatched.
You can either use the collection API, like setItemAt(), or call
itemUpdated().
absentee.selectedItem.status = absent;
absentee..dataProvider.updateItem(absentee.selectedItem);

Subject: [flexcoders] Newbie Question - databinding an arrayCollection to a
List Control
Hello,
I've been reading a lot of information on databinding and I'm still a little
confused on how to execute it and when is it necessary.
I have a simple list control of names that I create by adding to an array
collection that I use as the List's dataprovider. when I add a name to the
array the list updates automatically as I would suspect
I also have associated with the names is a status attribute (absent or
present) that I use to determine which icon to display next to the name
using IconFunction property of the List control. I have a contextual menu
bound to the list control that allows the user to right click on a name to
change the status and thus the icon.
This is where I have the problem and can't figure out what to do. The
contextual menu works in that the status will change in the arraycollection
(i check and see that it does) however I can't get the iconFunction to
reevaluate the new value to display the proper icon.
I've read in many postings or similar examples on line that I have to create
an event listener and an event for the collection change event. This is
where I am a little fuzzy in the execution - assuming this is teh correct
solution. I've also peripherally read about setter and getter functions but
I don't even know where to begin with this aspect.
I would appreciate any help with this. here is what I have in terms of code:
for my List Control:
mx:List id=absentee dataProvider={absentItems} labelField=name
iconFunction={myIconFunction} contextMenu={cm}/
for my arrayCollection:
[Bindable]
public var absentItems:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
I add to the arrayCollection:
private function addAbsentee():void {
var tmp:Object = new Object();
tmp = ({name:ac.selectedItem.name, status:absent});
absentItems.addItem(tmp);
}
my iconFunction is just a switch statement that changes icons based on the
text value of status (either absent or present)
private function myIconFunction(item:Object):Class {
var value:String = item.status.toString();
switch(value) {
case absent:
return Aicon;
break;
case vacation:
return Vicon;
break;
case late:
return Licon;
break;
}
return null;
}
the contextual menu functions just changes the status for example:
private function makeAbsent(evt:ContextMenuEvent):void {
absentee.selectedItem.status = absent;
}
1. I don't understand why the list updates when I update the arraycollection
with new items but not when I change a specific property of an array.
2. If I add and event do I add it to the arraycollection and the listener to
the List control, or is it vice-versa. Also what is the function/method that
I add to make the list control update the draw on the icon.
3. Is there a better way to do this, ie., use an xml format instead of a an
arraycollection? Is there an article with examples that is really clear
about explaining all this. I am confused as to some things I've read that
says xmlcollections and arraycollections are not good choices for
databinding.
Thanks!
be well,
hoyt

Re: [flexcoders] Newbie question: Custom Components and Custom Events
Looks like the USER_SUBMIT variable or constant in your UserEvents
class is not static, but you're accessing it in a static way.
They should be static, so add they keyword static before the var
keyword when you declare USER_SUBMIT and it should all work.

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie question: Custom Components and Custom Events
This metadata makes it available in mxml:
[Event(name=userSubmit, type=events.UserEvents)]
But the syntax UserEvents.USER_SUBMIT requires a contant in that class:
public class UserEvents extends Event
{
public static const USER_SUBMIT:String = userSubmit;
Using a constant like that just ensures you won't misspell userSubmit.

Netconnection Creates a bidirectional connection between a Flash Player or AIR application and a Flash Media Server application. Regards, Pravin 2009/3/5 toejamnyc jtho...@yahoo.com Good Day.

Must I have Flash Media Server in order to capture and save video from a webcam to a server? Is there *any* way I can build a small development, recording app on my existing http://domain? I am a PHP / MySQL developer, so this is all very new to me. Like I said, I can display video, but I'm having a hard time figuring out NetStream.connect() -- unless it's indeed true I need FMS. Thank you in advance for your time and any pointers.

1.) Flex is just an SWF file. You can set the application to any size and embed it as a SWF. 3.)

Subject: [flexcoders] newbie question - call to actionscript class
Hello,
I'm brand new to Flex so I'm sure this is a very stupid question, but
hopefully someone will be able to help.
My ultimate goal is to take an xaml file with a musical score and
convert it to flex, but to start with I've hardcoded a score (or
rather some score elements) in an actionscript class and I'm trying
to call it from my main application file. When I debug I can see that
it does get called, however nothing gets drawn on screen. I first did
the hardcoded score in a project on its own, so I know that the score
should be able to be displayed.
Here's the code:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
layout=absolute initialize=initializeHandler()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import test.DrawNotes;
public var myXmlList:XMLList;
private function initializeHandler():void
{
myXmlList = scoreXml.children();
// loop through the xml here and call
the relevant functions in DrawNotes
var notes:DrawNotes = new DrawNotes();
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:XML id=scoreXml source=scoreCanvas.xml /
/mx:Application
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks,
Annelie
Re: [flexcoders] Newbie question: Completion Events or proxy binding for RemoteObject calls
Bindings work with any objects, so long as the fields (or the whole class) are marked with [Bindable] -Josh On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 11:44 AM, john.casey64 john.case...@yahoo.comwrote: I'm working on an application where I build a tree (in actionscript buildtree()) where I add new leafs from data that is retieve from a remote call. Since the buildtree() function deals with the view - I have this coded in the view mxml. The tree is bound to a XMLListCollection which is updated by the buildtree() function after a remote value object is updated The remote RetrieveDataCommand successfully retrieves the data into a business value object. What is the correct Cairgorm method for triggering the builtree() function after the RetrieveDataCommand is complete? I don't want to pollute my Command logic with any specific calls to buildtree() Should I be adding RemoteCommandComplete events to all of my RemoteCommands? and then set the view logic to listen for them? I tried to set a Collection.COLLECTION_CHANGE listener on the Business Value object from my View logic. But it seems to fire before the ArrayCollection is complete. I also tried the BindUtils function to bind my buildtree() function to my value object, but bindutils only seems to work with MX visual objects, not actionscript value objects. Any experts out there?

Re: [flexcoders] newbie question on synchronous and asynchronous events
I always treat events as asynchronous - I don't see how else you can deal
with them. I'll have to check out the cookbook article..

Subject: [flexcoders] newbie question on synchronous and asynchronous events
From Flex cookbook beta on adobe.com, How to handle events in a
TestCase? article:
Testing behavior in a TestCase often involves waiting for
asynchronous events. If the TestCase methods only concern synchronous
events like property change events fired immediately when the property
is set, no special handling is required. It is only when asynchronous
events are involved that extra care needs to be taken. A common
example would be waiting for a URLLoad to finish or a UIComponent to
finish creation.
My question is: How do I distinguish between the synchronous and
asynchronous events?
From what is said, if the event is synchronous, then I could test for
event effect in synchronous manner. For example:
public function testSync(){
this.myValue = 0
addEventListener(MySynch.Sync, listener)
dispatchEvent(new MySynch)
assertEquals (this.myValue, 10)
}
public function listener(){
this.myValue = 10
}
Now, if I write the code for WebService send, test code would not
work. Am I getting this right? If so, how do I distinguish between the
synchronous and asynchronous events?
Thanks,
Dan

Re: [flexcoders] newbie question
Steve:
Several things you need to do. First, make sure you have *defined a result
handler* for the function call. Sounds like you have because you said you
could see the result come back. Then, just access the result via the event,
like below:
private function getMyAnswer_Handler(event:ResultEvent):void{
Alert.show(event.result);
}
If you are returning a string from your CF call, then the above code would
just show it in an alert box. Replace it with your function to pass it
along to whatever you want to do with it.
Also, if you want quick responses in the future, be sure to provide a
summary of your question in the subject. With the amount of questions that
get posted to this forum, many people don't open the messages without know
what they are about.

RE: [flexcoders] newbie question
That is ok, but it is the hard way. HTTPService is easier to use.
So you have the string you need in the completeHandler? If so, then I
guess I don't understand your question. If you need to 'save that
string for later use by some other function, you could declare an
instance (global) variable and store it in that. Declare that var
outside of any function:
private var _sMyString:String;
then in completeHandler():
_sMyString = event.target.data.resultCode;
Now you can access that value from most anywhere.
That warning is from the function declaration:
public function postData(){
To fix it do:
public function postData():void{
This declares the return type of the function to be void

RE: [flexcoders] newbie question
BTW, Timgerr asked essentially the same question early today in the
thread Flex Compenents, how to make them talk.
If your app is organized like this
Application
ViewStack id=myVS
MyForm/
SecondView id=mySecondView/
/ViewStack
/Application
then from MyForm's Script you could do
Application.application.myVS.selectedIndex = 1;
(You can access the Application instance from anywhere as
Application.application.) You could also do
parentDocument.myVS.selectedIndex = 1;
However, this isn't good practice; MyForm shouldn't have that much
knowledge about the structure of things outside itself. Instead, put a
method like
public function showSecondView():void
{
myVS.selectedChild = mySecondView;
}
in Application's Script, and then have MyForm's Script call
Application.application.showSecondView();
or
parentDocument.showSecondView();
In other words, have MyForm request that the Application do something
without specifying how to do it.
Or, better yet, learn how to have MyForm send an event to which
Application can respond.

Is there something like parent.selectedIndex?

Hi.
Im relatively new to flex and am writing an application at work
using flex! Yes!
I want to get a log in page working in flex.
Doing this in html/jsp one would create a page, submit the page
and (if credentials are good) move to the next page.
In flex, the concept of reloading pages is non-existent, I believe.
So I know how to connect to a server from a flex client to test
the user credentials...
The question is:
How do I allow the user to navigate from one page to the next?
(I am currently using states. Is that the way?)
My submit button will call an actionscript function that will
test the credentials, but it should also put the user into the
next step of the application, what is the accepted way of doing this?
Thanks.
Kind regards.

If i understand correctly, off the top of my head you could do something
like:
//inside parent containing VS.
addEventListener(NextEvent, handleNext);
function handleNext(e:Event):void{
var c:MyFormComponent = e.currentTarget as MyFormComponent;
next(c);

function next(c:MyFormComponent){

else
dispatchEvent(new Event(PreviousEvent, true));
}

Re: [flexcoders] Newbie Question - Random position in an array
Note that this will break on sparse arrays, though. In Flex, it's perfectly valid to have something like var foo:Array = []; foo[0] = 2; foo[3] = 5; This array has length 4, but only two elements. Elements 1 and 2 evaluate to 'undefined'. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to pick a random element out of a sparse array. If you want something unscientific, I suppose you can just increment the randomly chosen index until you find something.

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie XML to ArrayCollection Confusion
You can't convert directly, unless you use
resultFormat=object(default), which converts your sml into a nested
dynamic object structure. But you have no control over this conversion,
and it can have some side-effects, particularly with data type
conversions.
People often convert xml into an ArrayCollection of strongly typed
objects, because accessing strongly typed pbjects is significantly
faster than accessing XML, which this can help performance with very
large data displays (hundreds of renderers). You will need to loop over
the XMLList (xmlData.score), and build the value object items and add
them to the ArrayCollection manually.
But, why not simply use XMLListCollection?
hScores = new XMLListCollection(xmlData.score);

Subject: [flexcoders] Newbie XML to ArrayCollection Confusion
I'm hoping someone can help explain how to retrieve an XML doc via
webservice and then create an ArrayCollection from it. Using the code
and xml below, I am able to retrieve the xml alright and access the
nodes, but when I attempt to convert the xml object to an array I end
up with a single element array.
My xml document looks like:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 ?
- scores
score position=14/score
score position=21/score
score position=32/score
score position=43/score
score position=55/score
score position=60/score
score position=79/score
score position=86/score
score position=98/score
score position=107/score
/scores
My webservice event handler looks like:
public function hScoresHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
var xmlResult:XML ;
var hScores = new ArrayCollection();
xmlResult = new XML(event.result);
// This properly outputs the entire XML document
trace(xmlResult);
// These properly output the content from different nodes in the
// XMLM document
trace(first (0) position: + xmlResult.score[0]);
trace(five position: + xmlResult.score[5]);
trace(five position: + [EMAIL PROTECTED]);
// Convert XML to Array
hScores = ArrayUtil.toArray(xmlResult);
// For some reason this outputs a null string
trace(hScores);
// Why is the length only one?
trace(length: + hScores.length);
}
Re: [flexcoders] Newbie compile issue rattling my brain
I think you need define your list in an mx:Array (inside the source block) since this is the type of the ArrayCollection.source property. I could be wrong though, I usually don't define data in MXML.

When I click on a cell in the datagrid it shows the data in the form, but you have to manually scroll down to view the information. I would like to scroll down the page and focus to the Form to show the rest of the record. This way I can keep the datagrid reasonably small. Thanks!

are you suggesting that I put it somewhere within this function?

Get your filtering code working without the event and custom event

RE: [flexcoders] newbie
If you're writing an app with multiple components, you need a clear
understanding of how each component will reference the others. For
example, if you write
Application
SearchView id=searchView/
...
/Application
then in the Application script you can refer to searchView to get the
SearchView instance and in the SearchView script you can refer to
parentDocument or application to get the Application instance.
If your searchView script has code like
private var filter:SearchViewFilter;
private someMethod():void
{
...
filter = new SearchViewFilter();
...
}
then your searchView can access the SearchViewFilter instance as
'filter'. However, you don't have a back reference from the
SearchViewFilter instance to the SearchView unless you do somethign like
pass 'this' in the constructor and store it.

I have two pages. The first is the main. In the main I load my xml
data as follows using Httpservice. I pass this data to the second page as
follows:
SearchView id=searchView label=Search accommodations={accoms} /
// accommodations has been declared publicly in SearchView.mxml and accoms
is the variable that was used to accept data sent by httpservice. Once the
data is passed, I display in the datagrid. All is fine at this stage.
My second step was to attempt to filter the data in the datagrid and this
is where my trouble began. I have two actionscript files one is for carrying
out the filtering and the other is for the filterEvent. oh by the way there is
yet another actionscript file which is essentially the class file for
accommodations. At this point, the following sequence of events can take place:
a click on a checkbox calls a function dispatchFilter
the dispatch filter creates an instance of class filterevent and dispatches
the event
the dispatched event takes as its parameter instance of the filter class and
thus reviews what has been checked or unchecked..
I tried using a get function but a while I realised that I miss something
relating to passing data between components.

Call it in the result handler.
Either apply the filter to the main instance level variable
accomodations, or do as you have and then assign selectedAccoms to the

RE: [flexcoders] newbie - adapting flexstore
Typically, a data-driven control, like DataGrid is bound to a
dataProvider. When the dataProvider changes, the control automatically
updates.
In mxml, this means the DG dataProvider is bound to the instance level
ArrayCollection variable _acMyData: mx:DataGrid ...
dataProvider={_acMyData}
When _acMyData changes, the data grid will automatically update.

Re: [flexcoders] newbie - adapting flexstore
Thanks guys. I tried binding my data to the dataprovider. That didn't work. I
suppose I have some logical problems with my code.
This is essentially what I want to happen. I click on the checkbox for
triband and use a slider to adjust the price and relevant data is displayed. I
have retained much of the flexstore code but perhaps fail to understand how the
data is retained after filtering. I will review my code again.
Thanks

I know it involve the graphics object and I have to call drawRect at
some point. But where do I put this code, and how do I attach this
rectangle into one of the container?
Here's a simple component that draws a 100x100 rectangle.
package {
import flash.display.*;
import mx.core.*;
public class RectangleComponent extends UIComponent {
override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void
{
super.updateDisplayList();
var g:Graphics = this.graphics;
g.clear();
g.beginFill(0xFF);
g.drawRect(0, 0, w, h);
g.endFill();
}
}
}
In your application's MXML code:
mx:VBox
local:RectangleComponent xmlns:local=* width=100 height=100 /
/mx:VBox
Note that in Flex components should ideally delegate any graphics work
to a skin class, and any colours, etc., should come from CSS styles
(as opposed to being hard-coded in the component's code).

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie createPopUp problems
If you want a quick example, try the following, replacing the var's for
something more meaningfull where required. This will do popup's as well
as setting var's inside them. You used to be able to do this when
creating a popup in flex 1.5, but now you can do it as below as you
don't pass in an object when you addPopUp anymore.
Public function openUpAPopUp() : void {
var createdPopUp:YourTitleWindow =
new YourTitleWindow ();
createdPopUp.someVar =
whateverYouWishToInitilise;
createdPopUp.width = 325;
createdPopUp.height = 125;
PopUpManager.addPopUp(
createdPopUp,
DisplayObject(
mx.core.Application.application ),
true
);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(
createdPopUp );
}
Then just create a file called YourTitleWindow.mxml which is a
titleWindow and you'll have an instant pop up in the center of your
application.
Or just go to

I've copied various examples of using PopUpManager.createPopUp but
cannot get it to work. I'm running from Eclipse using the flex Eclipse
plug-in under XP. Eclipse does not show any errors (i.e. red marks) in
either file, but when I run I get a dialog Errors exist in required

I have tried creating a new project and still have the same problem. I
have been searching for 2 days now and cannot find a clue. My code is

Is there some way to get better debug/diagnostic info in this case. Can
anyone see what's wrong?

Re: [flexcoders] Newbie - Hosting requirements
There are no specific hosting requirements to serve the front end SWF files from your server. Any webserver will do that. It's the backend that you need to be concerned about, however, Flex is extremely Flexible when it comes to backend integration so there is not one answer. For example, if all your backend data is coming from WebServices or static XML files, then you will not need any 'extra' programing languages installed on the server since Flex can communicate with these services directly. However, more complicated Flex programs will call Cold Fusion, PHP or Java services which interface with any number of difference databases or external APIs. It is impossible to say what you will need without understanding the scope of what you want to do. It's probably best to spend some time outlining your needs in terms of functionality and data storage as well as your available skill sets (ie. do you already know some PHP, do you have a friend who codes Java?). Once you know those details you will then be able to choose an appropriate host to support your backend needs. I hope that helps. - Kevin On Apr 15, 2007, at 7:01 PM, simonhamelech wrote: Are there any requirements that must be supported by my web hosting company in order to run an web application built using FlexBuilder and AS3?
Re: [flexcoders] Newbie createPopUp problems
check the Problems View for the error. Window Show View. It's in the
General category. This should show what errors exist in your app.

RE: [flexcoders] newbie question: Timer across components..
If an event bubbles you can listen for it in any ancestor, like Application.application. Look at the docs for the timer event, to se if if bubbles. If it does not, in the timer component, re-dispatch an event, setting the second argument to true, to make it bubble.

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie question: Datagrid and a WS
In your case, you need to fire the event that sets the source of the
image whenever the data to the cellrenderer is changed. Not on creation
complete. You can do this two ways:
1) bind the source of the image tag to the data :
mx:Image source={ data.file_name } /
2) Override the set data function to update the image source
whenever the data has been updated.
I would go with #1 first.

Re: [flexcoders] Newbie question: Showing a vertical scroll bar on application
Hi Flexy, If you create a popup window using the PopupManager than it is not part of the normal view hierarchy and so it will not create scroll bars on the application object, even if it is placed partially out of the visible region. Pop-ups float above the main application window so they will not affect the size or scroll policy of that object at all. From the docs: The SystemManager maintains multiple lists of children, one each for tooltips, cursors, popup windows. This is how it ensures that popup windows float above the main application windows and that tooltips float above that and cursors above that. If you simply examine the numChildren property or call the getChildAt() method on the SystemManager, you are accessing the main application window and any other windows that aren't popped up. To get the list of all windows, including popups, tooltips and cursors, use the rawChildren property. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/mx/managers/ SystemManager.html If you want to scroll them around, perhaps popups are not really what you're after? It is possible to show a scroll bar on the application object, but not through pop-ups. Cheers, Lach On 27/11/2006, at 7:36 AM, Flexy wrote: Hi, I am adding titlewindows using the popupManager on the application canvas, I have many of them so some are beyond the screen height, However, no vertical scrollbar shows – how can I make sure the vertical scroll bar shows if there are controls beyond the screen height?

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie: Why can't I add a button!
Thanks very much for responding Gordon, I appreciate your's and Matt's
time.
Why AS3? Comfort zone I guess. I'm coming from a Java background. I'm
investigating the feasibility of creating an Eclipse like plug-in
framework for adding new screens and functionality that extend a solid
framework core. The aim? Having our P/S people being able to added
customer-specific screens and functionality and so on into a
standardized production framework without having to jump through
Struts/JSP/EJB/deployment hoops.
I'm pretty familiar with Eclipse having some plug in work there and I
guess that model is my starting point.
I'll look further into the XMXL side while I investigate. Thanks.
Greg.
PS. If such an architecture already exists for Flex, then do tell!

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Newbie: Why can't I add a button!
Sorry, although we've made it easy to write components in either MXML or
AS3, we haven't done the same with Application. If you are a newbie you
should start out with mx:Application in MXML. You can then use AS3 for
all your components if you really want to. I hope we can make this
better in a future release.
What's going on is that when the MXML compiler compiles an
mx:Application it autogenerates code to set up a lot of stuff such as
the default CSS type selectors that various components like Button
depend on. These aren't getting set up when you simply extend
Application as an AS3 class. When Button calls getStyle() to find out
what it's skin class should be, it's getting a null Clas reference.
Once you are no longer a newbie, you can use mxmlc's
-keep-generated-actionscript option to see all the generated code, and
set this stuff up yourself it you insist. But I really don't understand
why some developers like AS3 so much better tham MXML. Would you write a
web app all in JS and no HTML?

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie: Why can't I add a button!
Any ideas anyone?
About what? My previous reply explained that an mx:Application in MXML
autogenerates CSS selector setup code that you don't get when you simply
subclass Application in AS3. That's why this works and your previous
code didn't. Turn on -keep-autogenerated-actionscript to see this code.

Re: [flexcoders] Newbie
Possibly a fluky perspective - there are over 4000 members I think - I see over 100 messages a day so the list is very busy and things get missed or even forgotten. Also sometimes things just seem to get ignored when it's clear that someone hasn't even bothered to read the most basic documentation - there are about 5 or 7 pdfs of docs that come with Flex - while you couldn't be expected to know the 1000's of pages they amount to - it's worth looking at them for answers to your questions before coming to the list - I didn't even know they existed for ages! You can download them from here http://www.flex.org/ (on the left) and they are very good for a change. HTH Phil jburkett7 wrote: Hello All, Just joined today.

RE: [flexcoders] newbie question - HTTP servive
lastResult is only for binding expressions.
You still use event.result in a handler function.
What is the resultFormat of the
HTTPService? If it is object, toString() might not give you anything
useful.
For that matter, when you say doesnt
work, exactly what do you mean?

Re: [flexcoders] Newbie Question - attaching a Sprite
Hi,You could..var wrapper:IUIComponent = new UIComponent();wrapper.addChild(contentBg);panelOne.addChild(wrapper);This makes it harder to ref and size.You should look into skin subclasses like ProgrammaticSkin.
If you make a class that subclasses ProgrammaticSkin, then you can use the graphics of that class and override updateDisplayList() (do your drawing there).Then when you create your skin, it will be added to the canvas no problem.
You will also then have access to move() and setActualSize() of the skin that is drawing your graphics. Calling setActualSize() will then call your overriden updateDisplayList() method which will size you graphics rendering correctly.

RE: [flexcoders] newbie needs best practices in looping thru XML
toArray() will not prevent you frm having
multiple items. It must be something else.
Try:
public function afterSend(event:ResultEvent):void
I am surprised you dont get a compiler error here.
And as I recall, you use lastResult only in binding
expressions, and result in handler functions.

Subject: [flexcoders] newbie needs
best practices in looping thru XML
Hi all and thanks in advance,
I have a combo box that fires off an HTTPService based on results
from selection. From this HTTPService, I want to make a new pane
for each record returned in an accordion. I was returning correct
answers for multiple records, but not for results that numbered in
one. Then I saw the mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray() thing and now I
can only return results that number in one and not multiple.
Question #1: Is this a good route to follow if I want to
dynamically want to fill the panes of an accordion based on results
from a query via XML. Or should I scrap and do something cooler.
Question #2: This only returns answers for conditions when one
record is returned. How do I get it to work with multiple answers?
I'm thinking this has something to do with it not grabbing the
correct length in the for loop.
Here is some code.
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.collections.*;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.utils.ArrayUtil;
[Bindable]
public var resultArray:ArrayCollection;
public function afterSend():void
{
var arrData:Array = new Array;
arrData = mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray
(event.lastResult.CircSec.CircuitID);
for (var i:int = 0; i arrData.length; i++) {
Alert.show (arrData[i].FromBusName);
}
}
Thanks again,

I'm not exactly sure where you're running into the problem, as I don't use toArray. But here's how I solved the whole one result/multiple results problems, translated to use your terms: var a:Array; if (httpservice.lastResult.CircSec.CircuitID
is ArrayCollection) a = httpservice.lastResult.CircSec.CircuitID.source else a = [httpservice.lastResult.CircSec.CircuitID];Hope that helps.On 7/10/06,

Binary socket means there's no application-layer protocol (above TCP). Use your own protocol. You can do anything using the capability to send and receive raw bytes. For example, is it possible to send binary documents (e.g. pdfs and jpegs) through this socket via the writeUTFBytes() method? If so, when something binary is sent/received...how does it know what type it is...i.e. jpeg/video stream. Develop your own protocol! Send the file type in the first two bytes or something. The client and the server need to speak a language here. Also, can I stream video through this socket if I have a non Flash Media Server implementation managing everything? I'm not sure--you'd have to dig into the RTMP protocol and understand what Video.publish() does exactly. One crude way of publishing video is to create a Bitmap object out of every frame as the video plays and send the bitmap bytes to the server. Probably very stupid but it'll work. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie question
Give your services component an id, then
refer to it elsewhere. If you put services in your application you could use
Application.application.myServices.statsRequest, etc.

question
Is it possible to reference a HTTPService from
another file.
For example in services.mxml I create a service:
mx:HTTPService id=statsRequest
url=""
useProxy=false/
And in stats.mxml I reference the service:
mx:DataGrid id=dgReviews x=40 y=85 width=800 height=134 dataProvider={ statsRequest.result.graphdata.stat} mx:columns mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Ip dataField=ip width=480/ mx:DataGridColumn headerText=When dataField=created-at width=240/ /mx:columns /mx:DataGridHowever this doesnt work, I get Access of undefined property 'statRequest'. Im sure there must be a simple answer to this.Thanks.Alex

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie Question: Error being thrown on Grid Sort
This means that the first value in the dataProvider has a null value, it shouldn't be because a random field in the middle is null. You would workaround this by using a sortCompareFunction for the field OR by handling the headerRelease by setting up a SortField with the proper information and then assigning it to the dataProvider's Sort (which you may also need to create); then don't forget to preventDefault on the headerPressed event :-) Matt -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 8:58 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Newbie Question: Error being thrown on Grid Sort Using Flex Beta2, I'm populating a grid via XML through an HTTPService component.

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie again: Trouble implementing custom class (Flex2b)
[Property(name=_siteID, type=String)] // What Is THIS?
Whoops, forgot to take that out. I came across the metadata section in the
documentation, and thought that might be my problem - that I needed to tell the
compiler about my new property. I tried the above and it didn't make any
difference, and then I moved on to try something else...
Thanks for the response! It works now

Try that, you need the dots to be actuall directory structure.
Are you dead ending the :
HTTPService(rootURL:String = null)
signature?
If not, your super needs to look like
super(rootURL:String = null);

OK. I'm trying to actually start using my own packages and classes.
I've created a new class that extends HTTPService and simply adds one
new property:
package com.jbe.picfindr
{
import mx.rpc.http.HTTPService;
[Property(name=_siteID, type=String)]
public class pfHTTPService extends HTTPService {
public function pfHTTPService()
{
super();
public var _siteID:String = ;
public function get siteID()
{
return _siteID;
}
public function set siteID(value:uint)
{
_siteID = value;
}
}
}
}
This file is called pfHTTPService.as and it lives in a folder called
com.jbe.picfindr, which shows up as a package in Flex code hints.
When I go to create a new instance in an actionscript block (which
includes the line import com.jbe.picfindr.pfHTTPService;, I get not
a compile time constant and trying to access possibly undefined
method errors. I instatiate it like this:
var service:pfHTTPService = new pfHTTPService();
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Re: [flexcoders] Newbie: VBox expanding when it shouldn't
On 3/7/06, revanisle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Part of my UI is a VBox nested inside another VBox. The first VBox puts a control bar on top of a results window. The second VBox is the results window which is empty in mxml and gets populated dynamically with other containers based on search result. mx:VBox width=100% height=100% mx:HBox id=header mx:TextInput id=imagetag/ mx:Button label=Go id=go click=get_thumbs()/ /mx:HBox mx:VBox id=thumbs width=100% height=100% / /mx:VBox Everything is sized by percent (height width =100%) so it always fills the available space. So far so good, but when thumbs VBox should automatically add scroll bars, it just keeps getting taller, forcing the parent VBox to scroll. [snip] The outer VBox respects the inner's minHeight - which is calculated based on the number of children inside it. So the height of the inner VBox is the larger of the available space and its own minHeight (and minHeight wins once you've added enough children). minHeight can be made irrelevant by setting it to 0 explicitly. That should work. If that doesn't work, then maybe try setting maxHeight to an explicit value.
