Hi there

It is the mx:TextArea:
<mx:TextArea width="200" y="20" x="20" />

Here is a code snippet:
<mx:Box width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="center"
verticalAlign="middle">
  <mx:ViewStack id="viewStack" width="100%" height="100%" selectedIndex="1">
   <component:MainPanel id="mainPanel" width="100%" height="100%" />-->
   <mx:VBox width="100%" id="progressView" height="100%" horizontalAlign="center"
verticalAlign="middle">
    <mx:ProgressBar height="15" indeterminate="true" label="Initializing
ChessCube ..." fontSize="14" />
   </mx:VBox>
  </mx:ViewStack>
</mx:Box>
<mx:TextArea width="200" y="20" x="20" />

The textarea works for special characters in debug mode, but not in release
build mode. I've tried replicating / isolating the issue using different
applications / projects but haven't found anything close to a solution yet,
other than sometimes my tests fail for special characters even in debug mode (I
think because I haven't cleaned the project properly)

Cheers
Tracy

Hi Alex.
Thanks for the advice. I think I know what chain of events is leading to this
bug.....its the appearance of the sort arrow.

When I place my mouse cursor on the bottom right corner of the column header
(the position where the sort arrow appears) and click the header to retrieve my
new sql. The new data is retrieved ....but at the same time, the appearance of
the sort arrow actually triggers a DataGridHeader.MouseOut event (which leads to
the RTE).

What iv'e done now is I disable the column (column.sortable=false) when I make
the asynchronous call for new data.
And then enable it (column.sortable=true) once I populate the datagrid with new
data.

I don't see the sort arrow but that doesn't matter as this really isn't a sort.

thanks anyway.
bod

I haven't tried it but I would have thought the GIT Eclipse plugin should work
(http://www.eclipse.org/egit/). Maybe you should try it?

Are you adding the image with a script? if so you can change the height and
width of the image setting it equal to the height and width of the container
canvas, or any percentage of it like so:

height = int(container.height * .75) //for 75% of the height
width = int(container.width - 10)//to leave 10 pixels

does this help?

Hello,

Is it easy to learn and use Cairngorm or PureMvc. I have a one year application
and I would like to use these frameworks to structured it.

Thank you,
Christophe,

PureMVC is the bomb.

Yes there is boiler plate code but the things it allows you to do is
very useful. The learning curve is a bit steep if you are not familiar
with MVC, but it is really, really worth it.

Cairngorm is pretty good, but I felt that the reusability of the code
wasn't as great as PureMVC. The fact that its language-specific is a
turn-off for me. I like that I can code PureMVC in pure AS3, Flex, C#
or Objective C if necessary.


Here is a posting on the PureMVC LinkedIn group I did recently that
may help clarify some points about the benefits of using a framework
in Flex:

The benefit of using a framework such as PureMVC for us is:

Consistency - Developing, (and especially developing remotely) you
need to enforce a focused singular vision not only on the project but
also its structure. A framework allows you to do that.
Stability - By using a framework you avoid a lot of the pitfalls of
spaghetti code. One of the unfortunate problems with Flex is that
while its really really easy to get moving, and perfect for rapid
prototyping, often these prototypes aren't thrown away, but instead
built on top of. Things quickly spiral out of control, and you can't
keep the house standing. I speak from personal experience, and also
from the experience of others.
Maintainability - By staying consistent you are able to easily build
features out using the same tried and true tactics. This means that
when developer A leaves and Developer B starts, you teach him the 'MVC
ropes' and they jump right in. This also means other people's code and
your code take on a similar feel, meaning you feel right at home in
most of the codebase, including things you didn't write.
Testing - By utilizing a framework we are able to peel off very
specific areas of the application and test just them. For example:
Perhaps you have a 'You have won!' screen at the end of a level. You
could play through a level to see the screen, or you could create a
special demo Mediator that pretends to win the level and immediately
displays the view and just test that.

* What are the limitations or cons of using a Framework with Flex 3?

I would say that the most difficult thing is there is a lot of boiler
plate code. Things in PureMVC are very loosely coupled, and the price
of this loose coupling is that you need to add a bit more code.

* Do I really need to use a Framework, or does Flex 3 have what it
takes out of the box?

YES you need a framework. Flex out of the box for anything beyond
small applications quickly becomes unmanageable. Even using frameworks
like Cairngorm can become overwhelmed if you plan to fork code.

Check the docs for the axis you're using, and look for something like a
labelFunction.

It has happened now 4 times,

When I exit Flex Builder 3 my system crashes, screen goes black and the system
restarts. When I re-run Flex Builder it shows nothing in the Flex Navigator.

This wouldn't be a problem as I save (export) my work but the exported work
dosn't restore properly, while before I was working in the debug area it insists
on working in the release area. Which is not how I had it set up.

The only way I recover successfully is to create a new project, set up all my
php services and copy the files back, which takes ages.

Anybody have the same trouble, if so does anybody have any way to speed up the
restore or stop the crash happening?

- Stephen

Second that personally for Mate.  Done right, it can result in a much cleaner
code base than the 2 frameworks mentioned.  Swiz is also a viable alternative.

Had this prob with another program, it was a major software conflict, something
like a windows BSOD so bad that it couldn't even do a BSOD.

Tracing this problem is a nearly impossible task for a normal user. It could be
a conflict with almost any installed software, my issue only occurred when I had
MS Office & IEX (the crashing app) installed, then it only occurred when I
resized a window by clicking and dragging the lower right corner, not a side,
top, bottom, or any other corner.

Re-installing is not going to help because the conflicting software is still
installed. What may make the difference is where the conflict is occurring so
try closing the app in different ways. Assuming you're using windows, try
clicking the [X], file->close, right clicking and selecting close from the start
bar, and even using the task manager. One of these may skip the conflict and you
might be safe that way, else try a different system or uninstalling programs you
aren't using.

Good Luck
~Mike

I have to concur with Chris.  I've been using PureMVC and took a stab at
Cairngorm and Mate in the beginning but felt they were too tightly coupled with
Flex, especially Mate.  I'm not an MVC expert but will say that I have enjoyed
having the strict decoupling which makes managing the code easier.  If you think
Cairngorm/Mate decouples things which I know they do well, give PureMVC a whirl
and you will then understand why we are passionate about PureMVC.  We don't mind
the additional coding that is required to implement an application in it as we
know that means it is forcing us towards a well architected application.

I want to add a shout-out for Fabrication as well.  Fabrication is an add-on for
the Multi-core version of PureMVC that allows components to be able to send
notifications from one MVC in one SWF to another MVC in another SWF using pipes.
All of this is seamless with standard PureMVC notifications.  Nice!

Then again, who am I and what do I know.

That error is not specific to charts. Can we see the line of code that is
throwing the error? You are probably trying to do something to an object before
it is created.

Thanks for the honest reply Richard.

You are very correct in that we are talking about a Flex application here. 
However, I also am involved in an equivalent iPhone application and am using the
iPhone port of PureMVC.  It was easier to convert the Flex app. to the already
complex iPhone architecture with PureMVC.  Since PureMVC is available for most
any environment, it's a safe-bet in the end too cause you never know when you
may need to port your app.

No harm, no foul. ;)

So I am going to assume you are using a loop, and lastLabel is a variable set to
the last label created in the loop. You're code's going to break on the first
iteration since it can't divide a null value by 2. You need to either set an
initial value for lastLabel before the loop or not process that line on the
first iteration, instead setting the position. That is probably what you really
want to do since you would want your first label to be at a fixed position and
the second to base it off of that.

I hope it doesn't seem that I'm talking down to you, I'm just trying to
determine the best I can out of the little bit I'm seeing here.

Hi Tracy,

Are you using Safari browser under Mac OS 10.6?

If yes, then probably you are victim of the following bug

"Can't enter cyrillic symbols"
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-3213
http://www.openradar.appspot.com/7395808

Hi All,

I'm working on an AS3 project using Flex and I'm trying to figure out how to
change the background from that default light off blueish color to something
different.  I looked at the index.template.html file and figured that I can do
it in there, but it appears that I can't.  Anyone have an idea on how to do
this?? Thanks in advance.
