Code:
// msg_box_txt is a TextField for user input
// by hitting ENTER, it sends msg_box_txt.text
var my_listener:Object = new Object();
my_listener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.ENTER) {

msg_box_txt should be cleared, empty, after hitting ENTER. the problem that it contains one empty line, and the cursor is at beginning of the second line. how can this be fixed??
we have a C++ application that hosts a flex application in a MFC dialog. Everything works fine, all button pushes etc are passed directly on to flex with no problem at all, except the enter and escape keys, which immediately closes the dialog. We can trap the enter key, by implementing PreTranslateMessage() or OnOK() and impede the window closing behavior, but we still have the problem of passing these enter key pushes on to the hosted flex app further. There is no "default" button on the form or anything like that, perhaps MFC is linking the enter key to the close button in the title bar behind the scenes or something. Does anyone have any ideas how we can stop MFC from treating the enter key from being a special case.[code]
View 4 RepliesWhen my focus is inside the input text field, pressing CTRL+ENTER works but ENTER does not.Pressing Enter when my focus is anywhere BUT the input text field works just fine..My intention is to detect if ENTER key was pressed after the user fills out the field, but it seems to only work for CTRL+ENTER

I have a TextArea chat input and a button to send the text, the TextArea is multiline and so captures the Enter key to jump one line... What I need is to send the message with the Enter key and jump with a Ctrl+Enter combination... My ideas were to disable the bubbling of the Enter key, trap it, and then manually assign the Ctrl+Enter combination to jumping the line in TextArea but couldn't find how to do all this...
I had a quick question, I have a movieclip with 15 frames in it with an image on each frame, and a stop action on each frame. On my main stage I have 15 different buttons, which when pressed will change the movieclip to that particular frame (so pressing button 3 would make the mc go to frame 3). I'm still rather new to AS3, but I figured the most simple way to do this was a function which was called when the buttons are pressed

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?
I'm asking many questions these days but its really urgent

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?

View 3 RepliesI'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" />

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?
View 2 RepliesI 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.
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.
If you have a larger project, how do you manage your custom events, do you put all of them in a single class or make multiple classes?

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:
[AS]
class MyClass
{
var theXML:XML;
[code]....
Data=["M", "XYZ", "1/1/00"]
Attributes=["sex", "name", "date"]
Search=["sex", "name", "date"]
var orignal="{sex}<b>{name}</b>{date}"
I am getting a string from XML file in the above format which i am storing in original varible. But at the time of showing the output, I want values of the variables ( {sex} ..those are in culy braces) to be displayed which are their in array Data....like for sex value is M ..for name it is xyz...etc...and the values should be displayed in a format defined in the strring....so how do i create a new string which would look like this...newstring="M<b>xyz</b>1/1/00"
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();

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?

I'd assume from this that there is no correcting done for children with the same name being added to the same parent. I ask this question because I'm creating a structure that needs to mimic the display list and I'd like to keep behavior consistent.
Another question: I'd assume internally the children are saved in something similar to a Dictionary object, does anyone know if this is true? And then getChildByName simply does a foreach loop and returns the first match on a name?
I am having mainly 2 problems in Flash for some time and I need some clarifications on them.
1. Handling pages.
How do I handle working with pages in Flash? Do I create a frame for each page and place the content of the page in that frame and when needing to go to a page I simply go to it's frame? Or do I use ActionScript to put and remove content from the stage and create every page in this way? What I mean by this is: if a page has a menu and a picture, I use ActionScript to put the menu and the picture there. If the next page has some text and a button, I use ActionScript to remove the menu and the picture from the last page and put the text and the button from the new page.
The first method seems simpler but that means that if the page has some content that needs to be loaded (a picture, for example), this content will need to be loaded every single time the page is opened.
The second method requires more work but is it more efficient ? When I remove the content from the page, do I move it to a negative x and y so that it cannot be seen or do I remove it completely and just load it again the next time the page is opened?
2. Handling a flow communication with PHP.
I constantly need to communicate back and forth with PHP. I use a LoadVars variable to send data to PHP (using "POST") and I use an XML variable to retrieve data from PHP (I use the "sendAndLoad" method). The data sent by PHP is in an XML structure. The problem here is that I need to have different channels working. I need to receive several different types of data. Do I create a set of LoadVars and XML variables for each type of data that I need to receive or do I simply use only the one set and use an ID variable to specify with which type of data I am working at the moment ?
