ActionScript 2.0 :: Handling Objects Through A Tree?
Jul 5, 2009
I'm building an application, where objects are attached on a canvas and the tree of that canvas is held on a tree component. Each time that i attach an object the tree adds a new child etc. I want to do this on the other way around.. I want to press a tree node and "communicate" with the specific object, so that i can change its color, delete it etc. I've tried some things but nothing happens!This is my code:
var working_space:XML = new XML();
working_space.addTreeNode("Canvas",0);
myTree.dataProvider = working_space;
[code]......

I'm used to building web apps using proper architectures, but relatively new to the RIA space.One of the issues in rich client app is approaches to handling communication across components. (I've played around using the EventBroker concept.)In a recent Flex3/AS app I was looking at they took an approach that seemed to work pretty well, but I wonder about the drawbacks (or any other pros)...They took the concept of having a singleton object that would hold objects that could be used obviously from any components within the app by a simple call to...
var myAppModel:AppModel = AppModel.getInstance();
You thus could put any objects in there that you wanted access to from different components. It seemed to serve as the equivalent of a "Session" in the JEE space. I'm not so sure from an OO perspective it's the best thing to do, but it did seem to work pretty well.

I have been trying to fix my collision handling for hours now, but it seems like I am running in circles. To be blunt, my collision handling sucks. It is easy to break, and hardly works on complex objects(like water in my case, see the test at megaswf . com / serve / 1577272)
For collision detection I am using the collision detection kit, or CDK.My level is made up of different large MCs, such as a "wall" MC containing all of the smaller walls, such as water, a tree, or a wall. CDK allows me to hittest the single walls by hittesting the large one, and not each one individually, making it easier for myself.My code has a lot of repetition(8 directional movement), so I will put a "//..." to simplify.

I need to make a function that creates an object based on each set of data in an XML file. I am currently using bracket notation to do it, but don't know how to increment the next object's name dynamically. I wanted to do something like this:

I've asked this question before but had no answers... so here I go again I have a structure of objects: Top object A has as children (addChild children that is...) one or more objects B_1 to B_n. The B_n may in turn have one (1) associated object A' (Same type as top object, not displayed to begin with). When I click a B_n two things may happen:
1. If it has as associated object a A', put it on the stage (as child to B_n).
2. Otherwise it is a leaf and it does other things.
If '2' happens I want to collapse the tree, that is remove the top and all children of same type from being displayed. I thought a recursive approach should work:

I have a Flex tree with an ArrayCollection as data provider. The collection holds an array of CategoryVO objects. Each object can have another array of CategoryVO objects inside it's "child" attribute. This way the tree displays the data correctly. Now I want to get the parent of a specific item, e.g. tree.selectedItem. Using XML as data provider the item parent is avaiable thorugh the parent() method. But I can't convert my data to XML. How can I get an item's parent? Perphaps using the tree's dataDescriptor?

I have a intro to a picture of a tree which has buttons on it. The intro is an embedded flv video (not using the FLV component). The video starts on frame one and runs to frame 2. The tree is on frame 3.When I click a button on the tree, it runs the respective frames then returns to the tree. When the tree appears, the sound of the video is playing in the background.How can I make this stop?
Code:
stop();
MovieClip(lion_mov).stop();
//video Mouse Click[code].....
Frame 3 just includes all the mouse clicks for the tree.

I'm trying to make a Flex Tree Component display the children of a sprite in a hierarchical way. Moreover, dragging the items on the FlexTree would resort and reparent the items. I have special Elements set as Folders. This would allow other elements to be added there as a children by dragging an element on the tree and dropping it there. I have a failed attempt which works, but breaks when I try to add folders. Basically, it fails at reparenting the items by dragging and resorting folders and that Does anyone know of a component or something which can do this, has anyone have created any of this or could anyone give me a clue?

How do you communicate an error to the web service consumer ?
For example, my web service has a function to insert employee into db.Suppose while inserting the data , the database gave an error,what should be the best way to inform the user about the error.
One way is to depict it through the return value of the web service method but what to do when the function is supposed to return a complex object like employee when there is no error ,and will send an error string when there is an error ?

I have a problem with event handling. I'm working on a calendar, on which events can be listed. With actionscript i loop through an XML file with the days (and if there, the events for that day). So far so good. Where it goes wrong is this: I only want to display blocks with the day numbers on it. When you click on a day, a box pops up and shows the event's for that day.
This is what i did: created a movieclip with classname mc. loop trough the xml file and for each day create a new instance of mc with the day number as text on it. This al works, but now i want to add an eventhandler for each day. How to do this?

If I have a graphic that is fully transparent in places, can I make only the non-transparent portions of the graphic respond to mouse clicks? I realize I can probably do this with a few lines of code, e.g. detect the click and then check the alpha value under the mouse. But I was looking for something simple. For example, in Director there is an "alphaThreshold" in a graphic that determines at what alpha value a bitmap will respond to mouse clicks. Does Flash / AS3 have a similar capability?

I'd like to arrange things so that I have a chain of keyboard event handlers in my flex application, all of whom are queried when key down events occur. Basically, when a visual component is on screen, it is a candidate for handling a key press event. Something like this (clearly this is pseudocode):
<application handles_keys="F5, F6">
<tabGroup>
<tab1 handles_keys="pgup, pgdn">
<control handles_keys="0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9" />
[code]...
I have a class written that will respond to the key events the way I want it to, so how do I register one or more instances of this class to have the results I want? Also, note that there are some situations where this class should receive events that would ordinarily be handled by a UI component. The TAB key is the main example; I have a few cases where I want my key down event handler to fire even when the focus is on a text field.

We have a Flex client and a server that is using the Spring/Blazeds project. After the user logs in and is authenticated, the spring security layer sends a redirect to a new URL which is where our main application is located. However, within the flex client, I'm currently using HTTPService for the initial request and I get the redirected page sent back to me in its entirety. How can I just get the URL so that I can use navigatetourl to get where the app to go where it needs to?

I am building a Flex application using Pure MVC pattern and Zend framework for calling php code on the server. I need to sync some data with my server which is using MySQL as the database. And there are 5 such tables I need to sync. So I call these php functions at regular intervals from Flex and use long polling on php side. The client side code for my subjects lies in 5 different proxies.
Should I send 5 separate requests from each proxy to call the php code which is lying in separate classes. Or should I build a separate proxy to send 1 request from 1 php file and then distribute this data among different proxies on the client side. Which one will be more effecient? Mathematics shows using separate proxies and php classes allow more number of users to be accomodated on the server.Can I write 1 SQL command to fetch data from all 5 tables given they cant be joined on any column?

I have a very simple Flash movie with multiple keyframes. Each keyframe has buttons which I'll be attaching event listeners.
I was hoping that I could add all event listeners to all buttons in all keyframes by using a document class. This works for buttons in frame #1, but anything else gets a null reference exception:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I also tried adding a layer to the timeline that spans all keyframes and putting in the eventlisteners (and respective addEventListeners) there. Same thing - null reference exceptions for everything not in frame #1.

Have been dabbling with flash for few years, but would like to send data to external PHP file and would like flash to process response.The way I have it working is to register function for the submit button on the main stage where I have the form instance. However, when I do this, it stops rollover effects from working on submit button. (The button is actually a movie clip instead of straight forward button btw.)

I have a class with a XML object in it. In one of the class' methods, I tell the XML object to load a document. Before I do that, I set up the onLoad event to call one of the class' other methods. The problem is that in that handler function, I can't seem to access any of my class' data. If I try to use the "this" pointer, I'm getting the XML object not my class.
A simple example:

I've developed an FLEX application for distributed data administration. When our Asian employees specify a date, it will be saved +1 day.If I check my timezone offset it is +60, their offset is +520.
var dNow:Date = new Date();
trace("Your time zone offset: " + dNow.getTimezoneOffset() + " minutes");
I assume this is the problem? If so, would you suggest that I correct the entered date by 460 minutes before sending it to our server for saving? How to do that?
