Q3

Hi,

I need to fetch the targetNamespace from a WSDL which i loaded into a
WebService object.

In Flex 2 the following code worked just fine:

var webService:WebService = new WebService();
webService.wsdl = <URL>
...
webService.loadWSDL();
var operation:Operation = webService[<webServiceMethodName>];

var targetNamespace:String = operation.targetNamespace;

When i converted my project to Flex 3 the last code didn't compile as
it seems that the 'targetNamespace' property was removed from the
Operation class.

Does anyone know how can i get the targetNamespace?

Thanks,

How do I add container references to an array.
For example, I have these 4 containers

<mx:Panel id="home" title="Home" />
<mx:Panel id="portfolio" title="Portfolio" />
<mx:Panel id="skills" title="Skills" />
<mx:Panel id="contact" title="Get in touch" />

How do I add their references to an array in MXML

<mx:Array id="containerList">
<!-- CONTAINER REFERENCES GOES HERE -->
</mx:Array>

I get the error message when I debug a application.the application
works fine, but I get the message in debug console.

Thanks

*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/mark/My

incompatible context 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/mark/My
Documents/Flex Builder 3/test0211a/bin-debug/CheckBoxDataGridApp1.swf'

In an ideal world, I'd have an AIR app displaying HTML pages sourced from
encrypted data installed on the same machine.

Seems to me that the only way to keep the data encrypted would be to install
a web server which decrypts the pages on the fly.

Am I missing a something simple?

WoW! I doubt Derrick would be still interested after a year -6 days of
posting :D

Nice article though, I remember reading it before too at your blog.

Hi,
I read a lot of time that flex/blazeds/hibernate is a cool combo. But
I there is one thing that troubles me.
So let's asume I have a Person class

public class Person {

  public var name:String;
  public var id;

}
It's no problem to send objects from this class between client and server.
But let's assume the Person class has furthermore a list of groups he
belongs to.

public class Person {

  public var name:String
  public var id;
  public var groups:ArrayCollection;

}
public class Group {

  public var name:String;
  public var id;

}

So now everytime we send a person object back to the blazeds/hibernate
backend all the groups he belongs to are getting serialized as well.
This means a lot of overhead gets send to backend when I only modify
some primitve data like the name.

Even more problematic would be if in addition the group objects
themselves would have list of persons that belongs to them.

I guess I could use the [Transient] Metatag to not send the collection
fields, but then I could not modify the groups in a person object easily.

So if there is any best practice for these kind of problems, please
let me know.

Thanks in advance
Max

Try

invalidate();
OR
figSelector.invalidate();

on your parent's creationComplete event handler.

I'm not so sure about your second question. Are you having trouble
removing a skin that you've applied?

This one is making my head hurt ... will there be any perceivable
difference in

a) slowly changing an object's color from it's current color e.g.
0xFF0000 to 0xFF9999

and

b) slowly changing the object's color by morphing the correct
individual r, g and b from 0xFF0000 to 0XFF9999?

Will it pass through the same shades on the way from current to new?
Reason I wonder is that I am looking at some PixelBlender filters that
change the tint of objects by manipulating the r,g,b components.... is
this different to just changing the color attribute? TIA,

Mic.

Sorry for the late response (the weekend had begun)

Yes it does. If you look at the source for the generated wrapper it
shows

"bgcolor", "#ffffff",

One reason why I was struggling (which lead to my posted
question)....
My Application.backgroundColor was defined in an external stylesheet
(with all my other styles). But this does not get picked up.

It only seems to work when you define it in the mxml tag.

Hi,

i'm reading about shared objects...they are like html cookies but with
improved performances...very cool!!but if i use modules can i always
save the state of each modules? Infact i read that modules are used
for the same domain..what domain means? that I can save the state for
a single application (so a single swf files), is it true?

thanks in advance

Regards
Lorenzo

Lorenzo,

When the doc says "the same domain" it means that flash player
should get module from the same URL domain for security reason.

About shared objects, it is cool but has size limitation like cookies.
You can save whatever you want...

Thanks for the reply..
so is it possible to save a specific configuration with modules?
suppose that i have a main application and here i have n modules
(distinct swf files).
then within modules i run my operations and finally when i closed the
main application i would save the configuration for modules that i
have modified..
At the succesive startup i would retrieve saved data. Is it possible
to save the entire modules, so an entire complex object? or is
possible to save only data, for example values properties?
Do you know any example in the web?

Thanks Again

Regards Lorenzo

Ben,

horizontalCenter="0"??  It should be horizontalAlign="center", shouldn't it?

To add,

the following line expects a dataField to be provided (I have not)

var property:String = _columns[event.columnIndex].dataField;

but the code should not get there if its just a string.

The code I described is in Flex DMV code, AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as
itemEndHandler. This is a private method and contains some private
class variables so I'm not able to modify it's implementation. At
first I tried to event.preventDefault() in my local handler but this
implementation seems to do important stuff, I dont feel comfortable
skipping this code but maybe I should. In addition, this method seems
to make use of event.reason in addition to preventDefault.

The array is not simple in that its a typed ArrayCollection of rows
which each row having a typed ArrayCollecton of cells. So to get at an
instance of a cell I go:

var cell:MyTypedCell =
typedArrayCollectionRows.getMyTypedRowAt(0).Cells.getMyTypedCellAt(0)

I was able to handle the itemBegin handler and put a cell.Label value
and in TextInput.text. This is where I also manualy populate the
event.itemRenderer.data = "some text" (the itemEnd handler expects thi
to be XML it seems). So I can successfully display the editing portion
of ADG. Where I get into trouble is the default handler for itemEnd.
I'm not sure what to do in regards to cleanup and preventing the
default from firing. Note that I'm only using the default ADG item
renderer for now so I'd like to stick with default implementation as
much as possible.

I will try to upload a complete simplified project if you would be so
kind as to take a look at this issue and maybe a better best practice.

Thank you for the reply,

Is the Flex compiler smart enough not to include dependent objects
that are not used? Does this apply to SDK and custom classes in the
same way? What about DMV?

Do any of my unused custom classes get compiled? If I have a
Utility/Helper project that is quite large will it affect my SWF size
if i only use 5% on a particular Flex app?
