Time zone support really seems pretty minimal in Flex/ActionScript.

I have had my share of trouble trying to work around limitations, but would
really like to see additional timezone support.

I know I am not alone from some of the blog entries out there... so I found
these related bugs that you may want to vote for.

https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-175
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1170

Hopefully if enough people take the time to point out how lacking this is, Adobe
will dedicate some time to improving this.

Thanks!
Andy

Did you ever find out more about this?

Hi folks,

Are there any advanced date/time manipulation libraries out there which
provide operations similar to those offered by the
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Calendar.html Calendar
class in Java? Using the AS Date class for basic operations like adding X
amount of days to the current date, adding X amount of hours to the current
time, calculating for leap year etc. requires a fair amount of code. Is
there any library out there which encapsulates this logic and provides a
programmer friendly API?

TIA,
sasuke

This sounds vague, but basically it's:

My Zendamf remoting object has a
     fault="faultListener(event)", which has an Alert.show statement.

However, I noticed that when I'm on my laptop, and my Net connection is flakey,
this happens:

  I create a new Item that then gets added to my List object successfully, and
the next step is to add to the database on the Server-end, so I call:
      myRemote.addNewTask(tempTask);

But there's no feedback , and although I "see" the new Item in my List this only
means the Client side succeeds, but the DB save silently fails without a Fault
event.

I have a Result event set up, but the resultListener function never gets called.
It's not like I can do this:  if (!succeeds) then display "fail", like
you can on a normal php/mysql app.

And I just want to avoid having to go the reverse logic route to resolve this:
When the Result event gets called, do an Alert.show().  Don't want to have to
click OK everytime it's successful. ;/

Just wondering how anyone else handles this,
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,

Question 1:

There is note in Adobe Flex 3 help
(http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=databinding_4.html):

"Note: [..] the ArrayCollection class dispatches an event when the array or the
array elements change to trigger data binding. For example, a call to
ArrayCollection.addItem(), ArrayCollection.addItemAt(),
ArrayCollection.removeItem(), and ArrayCollection.removeItemAt() all trigger
data binding."

And there (in documentation) is example, where <mx:List> is used with
`ArrayCollection` as data provider, which should confirm this note.

But my experience shows, that it's invalid (or I misunderstand something). IMHO,
`ArrayCollection.addItem()` (and co.) doesn't trigger data binding (and it's
only triggered when reference changes). And <mx:List> handles manually it (it
registers event listener for CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE when
`dataProvider` is set) - so it may appear like it was binding stuff.

Is this note wrong? Incomplete? Or maybe I misunderstood something?

Question 2 (and it complements question 1):

I have model class with property `list`:

   [Bindable]
   public var list:ArrayCollection;

I want to reconstruct internal (in MXML) list, when list in model changes
(reference changes, or item is added/removed). In MXML component I have
something like this:

   [Bindable]
   public var model:Model;

   /* this is called on `creationComplete` */
   private function initLocal():void
   {
	 model = new Model();
	 BindingUtils.bindSetter(constructList, this, ["model", "list"]);
   }

But `constructList` is called only once (in my case, only when reference
changes). As I understand, bindings doesn't work when adding/removing items and
I should manually listen for CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE?

(third question/issue)

If I change `list` property in `Model` to manual binding:

[Bindable(event="listUpdated")]
public function get list():ArrayCollection
{
...
}

And when manually dispatching `listUpdated` events (when item is added/removed,
or list reference changes), then `BindUtils.bindSetter()` works as I expect -
`constructList` is called when item is added, etc.

Question: why this differs from default binding ([Bindable])? I assume, that
default bindings doesn't fire `propertyChange` event, when something is added to
ArrayCollection. Am I right?

Hi all,


I got a sqlite DB that's encrypted with AES256 using sqlite3 command line tool:

sqlite3.exe -key test123Test test.db


I able to do this encryption because I bought the SEE license.


And I did test that the encryption does work, I could not view the DB content
directly using the DB Admin Tool I have but I could view the content using the
sqlite3 command line tool.

I believe the reason why my DB Admin Tool couldn't work because it doesn't have
the SEE license.


Anyway, I tried to open this with ADOBE AIR and I did make sure passing the
encryption key as part of the argument.

But what I got is an error msg:


Error message: Error #3125: Unable to open the database file.

Details: An encryption key cannot be specified when the database is not
encrypted.



So this brings me to this question:

- What kind of SQLite encryption does ADOBE AIR really supports?

- Does ADOBE have SEE license?


Please enlighten me.


Thx!

>>try update manually using the id of the linechart (in the dp change event
handler) like...linechartid.dataProvider = dataprovider.

Huh?  If you see in my code, that's exactly what I'm doing and why I'm confused
the chart isn't changing even though the data is different.

I am creating an AIR/Flex application and wanted to know how to break up my
styles.  Right now I have everything in two files and quickly realized I needed
to break it up.  The normal web way of breaking them up doesnt seem to apply to
us.  Or does it?

What css file naming convention should I use and what should be included in each
one?

hmmmm... anyone?

How can I do it? I want to change the skin in the panel that shows windows in
popupmanager.
I'm using Flash Builder 4 beta 2 and only mx controls (not spark)

TIA

Sorry, you are correct.

I believe you need to manipulate the columns array. This array holds an
AdvancedDataGridColumn reference for each column. Set this to a new array
containing the new columns.

Hi,


I have developed the dashboard in my application using flex 3.0. For this I
have used JSP wrapper around the flex application. My application runs on
JBoss application server. For communication between flex app and my
application I am using LCDS. HTTPService component is being used to receive
data from the server. Channel definitions are given in service-config.xml
for secure amf and secure http channels. In my proxy-config.xml I have
defined Channels and destinations.

In my development environment both secure and non secure mode were working
fine.


Now in my test environment I have deployed it behind the hardware load
balancer(which accepts secure requests only and if the request is not secure
it redirects it to secure url).



So the load balancer only accepts HTTPS URLS and after that the request is
converted into HTTP and sent to web/app servers



I am getting following exception

On a custom AdvancedDataGrid - did the standard thing to add a total footer - I
have a column where the item renderer puts a hyperlink/link button in the grid
cell. I attached a custom context menu to this link button with custom menu
item. Selecting this menu item shuts down IE or FireFox immediately. I have
removed the menu item listener so it does not try and go anywhere,but the
browser still shuts down when

- right-click gridcell which is a link button to display context menu
- select custon menu item - browser quits.

Any advice on this one would be greatly appreciated. TIA,

Mic.
