Anyone using this with ColdFusion yet? Would love to see an example.

TabbedViewNavigator, issue with removeAll

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 24 May 2011 20:52:12 GMT

I've got a simple TabbedViewNavigator with 2 tabs. After an event, I want to remove all the tabs and add new ones. I tried this code:

public function doIt():void {

trace('called');

this.tabbedNavigator.removeAll();

var vn1:ViewNavigator = new ViewNavigator();

vn1.firstView = views.HomeView;

vn1.label = "Home";

this.tabbedNavigator.addItem(vn1);

}

Everything works fine at the removeAll. When I do addItem, I get this error:

RangeError: Index '1' specified is out of bounds.

at views::LoginView/___LoginView_Button1_click()[C:\Users\Raymond\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\LoginRegisterExample\src\views\LoginView.mxml:19]

I also tried replacing removeAll with two removeItemAt(0) calls (I had 2 tabs). Again, that code worked - both tabs went away, but i got the same error when I tried to add an item. I also tried addItemAt(0).

TabbedViewNavigator, issue with setItemAt

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 24 May 2011 21:44:01 GMT

Given a TabbedViewNavigator defined like so:

<s:navigators>

<s:ViewNavigator label="Login" firstView="views.LoginView" width="100%"/>

<s:ViewNavigator label="Register" firstView="views.RegisterView" width="100%"/>

</s:navigators>

If I replace the first tab later on like so:

var vn1:ViewNavigator = new ViewNavigator();

vn1.firstView = views.HomeView;

vn1.label = "Home";

vn1.percentWidth=100;

this.tabbedNavigator.setItemAt(vn1,0);

The label in the tab does change, but firstView continues to be loginView. Even clicking away and returning doesn't work.

Best way to add support for a new JS library

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 16:41:26 GMT

This is probably a FAQ, but I'm new to DW. How does DW support code assist for a new JS library? So for example, let's say I drop in jQuery 1.7 (when it exists), will DW automatically pick up on new methods, etc?

Understanding DPI, text size, etc

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 17 May 2011 19:53:25 GMT

This is probably a simple question, but...

I've got a simple AIR/mobile application I created that begins with a list view. You can see details of the application here: http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2011/5/14/INeedIt--Simple-Flex-Mobile-example

I'm having an odd issue with text size. If you look at the first screen shot, you can see the list of categories is nice and fat. Now I now that the simulator is 2-3X bigger on my screen than it would be on a real device, but proportionally there is a big difference as well. When run on my device, the text is about 1/3 the size of what it is on the simulator. You see many more options at once. Is there a way to account for this in my code? Basically - a simple way to understand why the proportions are so different from simulator to real hardware.

I'm guessing it is DPI related, but I'm not quite getting it. One commentor on the blog recommended changing the size via an item renderer, and I'm sure that would work, but I'd like to have a better understanding beforehand.

As an FYI - I found that added fontSize="64" to my s:List component worked fine - but just for that component. Stuff on top still semes a bit small. Basically I want everything a bit fatter.

Clarification of Session Persistence

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 23 May 2011 13:42:50 GMT

I want to make sure I understand something about Session Peristence (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WSb0a29bf92525419c-54dd253312afbec3ecb-8000.ht ml#WS8b1c39bd7e9fc364-26b394fa12ba6c7fdd7-7fff). Is it meant to only persist information in the "data" variable? That's what my testing shows and the example in the docs demonstrate that.

I have a VERY simple one page mobile app. It has no views. I want to maintain state though in case the app gets shut down. Normally "data" exists when you call a 2nd (or N) view and pass stuff. In my testing I could use a viewActivate/init() function and do something like:

if(data == null) data = {};

Is this recommended? It seems to work fine, but isn't quite how things are documented. But I have to assume that support for an app being shut down on the first view is expected as well, right?

Spark List design examples?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 18 May 2011 20:16:11 GMT

I'm trying to style up a Spark List for mobile and about the best I've been able to do so far is font size. I'm wondering if anyone has some good examples? I'm specifically interested in:

a) Inset lists (see how jQuery Mobile does it - but basically the list takes about 95% of the width and has nicely rounded corners)

b) changing just the background of the list items.

Anyone got some code they can share?

How about HTML Support?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 19:06:11 GMT

Absolutely love the launchpad. Any chance for HTML support? (As in, output an HTML-based AIR app instead.)

Flash Remoting to machine on network

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 03:45:13 GMT

I've got a Android/AIR app that uses Flash Remoting to hit a machine on my local network. In the simulator on the machine itself it works fine. On the physical hardware I got a 403 error hitting (theip)/flex2gateway.

Warning about disk space on the phone

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:31:55 GMT

I was trying to run a simple application on my Android and it kept failing. I never got an error - but nothing ever actually launched on the phone. I gave up and switched to command line where I _immediately_ got a message saying I was out of disk space.

Hopefully future versions of Burrito will notice, and report, this error, but for now, if you see this yourself, check to ensure you have enough space left on the phone.

Bug when splash screen graphic has a space

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 14:35:12 GMT

I dragged a picture for my splash screen that had a space in the file name. When imported into Flash Builder, I immediately got an error:

Description Resource Path Location Type

unable to resolve '@Embed('assets/Picture%20001.jpg')' for transcoding Foo.mxml /Foo/src line 7 Flex Problem

Looks to be easy enough to fix, but it definitely does not do this when the picture file name doesn't have a space in it.

Not able to push to Droid 2

I can push to my Nexus One, but the Droid 2 doesn't respond. Right now Burrito is on the refreshing devices page but it never actually finished.

Application not being updated on NexusOne

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 19:08:59 GMT

I've got a very simple app that I'm testing on my NexusOne. For some reason, the phone is no longer picking up new versions of the app. Even something simple as changing a label field and re-Running the project doesn't work. Well, it runs on the phone, but it looks to be running the first version I put on.

Spry 1.7

In this video for the DW Widget browser (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cs5/using-the-widget-browser/), the speaker mentions "Spry 1.7". Is that out?

In the XML returned by a comment call, the recordCount value is empty. This means we can't tell folks how many comments total exist.

Using states and still having a flash

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 14:09:29 GMT

I'm using a loading/ready state for my region and I still get a flash. I can't use spry:content (I believe) because I'm using a drop down. Any suggestions? Here is the code I have currently.

<span id="statesDIV" spry:region="dsStates">
<span spry:state="loading"><img src="/images/ajax-loader.gif" height="16" width="16"></span>
<span spry:state="ready">
<select name="dd_state" id="dd_state" onChange="getData(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="">All States</option>
<option spry:repeat="dsStates" value="{ID}">{ABBR}</option>
</select>
</span>
</span>

Widgets and loadContent

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 16:06:44 GMT

I'd like to see loadContent functionality added to widgets. What do I mean by that? Imagine being able to make tabs and using a spry:url=".." attribute to tell Spry to load the content of the tab (accordion, etc) from a URL. Yes you could do this now but it would be nice if it was built in. Spry could use any static content inside the divs as the loading message.

Sorting text data

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 16:39:23 GMT

i've noticed that when i sort a text column ascending, it sorts it and ignores case, which is good I think. When sorting descending though it sorts case sensitive. This a known issue?

Accessibility

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 15:40:57 GMT

During my Spry preso last night, someone asked about accessibility. Some of the examples he brought up were:

Some screen readers have issues noticing generic text changes common in AJAX.

Um, that's the only example I remember unfortunately, but I think you get the drift. Any comments on this?

Working with non data set xml

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 20:57:19 GMT

I'm using Spry.Utils.loadURL to call a script on my box. I've got my call back function done. The result is XML. Does Spry provide a simple utility to let me parse the XML? It isn't a dataset, but a simple XML file with 2 nodes.

Two sorts?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 15:38:59 GMT

Is it possible to sort by two fields? Ie, first col X and then col Y?

IE issue with links

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 14:27:38 GMT

Consider the following URL:

In Firefox, you get a list of titles with links. In IE you just get the titles.

Any idea why?

DetailRegion with no default on load

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 13:43:02 GMT

A user asked me this on my blog. How would you use a detail region that did NOT automatically get set to the first row of the dataset? It should only be set when the user actually clicks something. Would the only solution be to NOT use a detailregion? Or perhaps make it invisible until the first user click. You would write some JS code for the onclick that sets visible to true and then sets the current row.

Simple spry:if not working

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 15:19:59 GMT

Any idea why this spry:if would not work?

<span spry:repeat="mydata">
<span spry:if="'{@dc:subject}'.search(/ColdFusion/) != -1;">
<a href="{link}"><span spry:content="{title}"></span></a> {dc:subject}<br>
</span>
</span>

The data is: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mxna/xml/rss.cfm?query=byMostRecent&languages=1

When I remove the conditional, or make it just match /e/, everything shows up and I correctly see ColdFusion in some of the subjects.

Remote URLS

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 15:29:18 GMT

I'm trying to use a remote URL for a datasource. The docs say:

The URL you decide to use (whether absolute or relative) is subject to the browser’s security model, which means that you can only load data from an XML source that is on the same server domain as the HTML page you’re linking from. You can get around this limitation by providing a cross-domain service script. For more information, consult your server administrator.

I've heard of crossdomain files for Flash, but what exactly is meant here? For example, the RSS reader demo does everything locally, but a "real" RSS reader wouldn't do that. So how would it work?

Unused JS files

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 11:08:02 GMT

Are these files still in use:

SpryEffects.js
SpryXML.js

If so - why? They don't seem to be used for the AJAX or accordion demos.

Expected : error

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 18:50:02 GMT

I'm getting an odd error in IE only, and it is one I have never seen before:

Expected :

The line in question is this:

<option spry:repeat="dsEntries" id="{ID}" onClick="addEntry('{ID}',{ds_RowID})">{TITLE}</option>

This is tied to a Dataset that is itself tied to another Dataset. Could it be IE tripping up on the onClick since the data isn't bound immidiately? (If that makes sense.)

sorting and pagination

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 20:35:20 GMT

I'm using the sample sorting code for a demo -

http://ray.camdenfamily.com/spry/blog3.cfm

Someone noticed that if you sort, then click for the next page, you don't get the "proper" next page. The sort stays, but it's like the sort works on each page, not over the entire dataset.

Destructive spry:region

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 14:43:19 GMT

So this is probably obvious, but I wanted to bring it up just to make sure I understood right.

I have a region that contains a table bound to a data set. Inside this div I also put a simple form. I'm using this to filter the data. This works - but whenever the filter function runs, the form loses the data that was there. I'm guessing when stuff is "re-bound" the form is recreated and therefore loses the value.

Is that right? And is that expected? I think so - but want to confirm. I guess I can move the form outside the region.

docs for ui controls

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 13:27:18 GMT

Am I right or are there no docs yet for the UI controls? Like the accordion? I see them in demos, but not documented.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 12 Jun 2006 18:06:10 GMT

Any plans for a labelFunc? So we can redisplay data in a nicer format, like Flex can.

detail pane works once, not onchange

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 02 Jun 2006 19:27:52 GMT

I've got an application where - when the page loads, I populate a drop down of categories. I have a second drop down that loads entries based on the select category. Next I have an ID block that handles a detail display of the entry.

Everything works perfectly. I can chance categories and the entries change. When the page first loads, the detail page loads right, but when I change the entry, it just goes blank. WHen I change the category again, it works again, until I change the entry.

So it must be the code I have for change on entries. Anyway, I don't see a place to post code, so I'll just post it beneath. Not sure how well it will render.

Loading a dataset after another click

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 02 Jun 2006 16:37:02 GMT

I'm sure this is a faq - but on startup I'm creating a dataSet of categories. When you select a category, I then want to make a new DS to populate another select. On loadup I'm told:spryregion or sprydetailregion attribute has no data set!

which makes sense. So how do I make a region that -will- be a spryregion, but not until a user does something?

I hope this makes sense.

Calling CFCs

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 02 Jun 2006 16:09:43 GMT

Anyone using Spry to call CFC methods? By default, CFCs results are wrapped in WDDX. I got around this by calling a CFM that then called the CFC and used cfcontent to serve up the XML result as, well, XML. It would be cool if Spry would build in the JS WDDX libraries and automatically decode CFC results. This would be incredibly helpful as I wouldn't need to build a "proxy" as I'm going now.
