Flash :: Flex4 Host Component Have The Same Function As A View Mediator/helper?
Jul 17, 2011Coming from Robotlegs/PureMVC, I am pretty familiar with the concept of the view mediator, i.e. a component that pretty much listens to events/requests coming from the "dummy" view and makes a further request, sends an application-wide signal/event, executes a command, etc, based on the request from the view. Can the host component idea introduced in Flex 4 be considered a the same as a mediator? The only thing that slightly bothers me is that host components are still considered views, because they extend SkinnableComponent or any of the classes that further inherit from it. In my view, the mediator should be completely left out of view logic.
Nevertheless, I do not want to write a skin, a host component, and a view mediator for that host component, because that would be quite an overhead, and would lead to more complexity rather than abstraction.Should I use host components as mediators, and put application-level logic there, for instance application level event dispatching?

View 8 RepliesFlex :: Mx:Datagrid Not Displaying Booleans Correctly
Jul 8, 2011I am experiencing some rather quirky behaviour with datagrid itemRenderers. First, I create an ArrayCollection as follows:
[Bindable]
private var myBooleans:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([false,true]);
And afterwards I bind it to a datagrid:
<mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{myBooleans}" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
[Code].....
When running this, the datagrid only shows a row with the correct itemRenderer if the boolean == true. For the row where the boolean == false, it will display an empty row.
I would also like to add that wrapping the boolean in a wrapper object will not cut it for my use case since I will receive an ArrayCollection of unwrapped booleans through an RPC call.
IDE :: Converting Strings To Numbers - Inconsistent Trace Between PPC And Intel Macs?
May 26, 2009We're making a simple input text comparisons vs. some constant floating point numbers (e.g. 4.35). Using Actionscript 2 to Flash 9 export.
Code:
trace(typeof(Number(435/100)))
trace(typeof(Number(435/100)==4.35))
trace((Number(435/100)==4.35))
[code]...
In the order listed above, I get the following trace when I export via Flash CS3 (9.0) on my PPC mac:
number
boolean
true
true
[code]....
The same exact FLA file, unmodified, gives the following trace output on 2 different intel macs (one mac pro, one imac) using Flash CS3 (9.0).
number
boolean
false
false
[code]....
have a clue why this is giving falses for statements such as "(Number(435/100)==4.35))", "(435/100==4.35)" or "(Number(input_txt.text)==4.35000)" but ISN'T giving a false for (Number(input_txt.text)==(435/100)) (NOTE: input_txt.text is an input field which contains the string 4.35) I'm expecting the latter since they're generally intel chipsets too??
Note: once i compile the code on my PPC mac, intel macs that run the SWF (but don't recompile the FLA) do return the correct booleans that match the PPC output.
Flex :: Parse Boolean Values In Strings For Use With Function.apply

The result is then used to call a function using the Function.apply API.If apply(null, ["17"]) is called with this function:[code]does not work (expected output: false Boolean; actual output: true Boolean).Is there a way to make it recognize "true" and "false" (or anything else) as Boolean values, just like it does with numerical strings? Ideally "true" and "false" should also remain valid string values.

May 5, 2003I'm using String.split to parse a command line string into an array of strings. The result is then used to call a function using the Function.apply API.
If apply(null, ["17"]) is called with this function:
static function test(foo:int):void

it works as expected (output: 17 number).
However, calling apply(null, ["false"]) or apply(null, ["0"]) with this function:

trace(foo, typeof(foo));
}
does not work (expected output: false Boolean; actual output: true Boolean). Is there a way to make it recognize "true" and "false" (or anything else) as Boolean values, just like it does with numerical strings? "true" and "false" should also remain valid string values.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Retrieving Variables From Text File / Converting Strings To Dates
Nov 9, 2008I'm trying to read date variables from an external text file. I'm using the LoadVars method and it is working fine for regular string variables. I'm running into trouble trying to convert some of those strings into date variables so I can compare the current date to the targetDateX variable from the text file. I'm working on a countdown timer for a list of different times/dates. It will display the time left until the first event, then after that event the time left until the second event. I'm running the code in a for loop and everything is working except being able to convert the string with format (yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm) into a date variable- I've attached a sample of where I'm having trouble.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Reference To Variable/function Using Strings?
Sep 18, 2009I'm wondering how I can create a reference to a function/variable by using strings. Sorry if I'm not explaining the problem well, but let me show you what I mean in an example:You can create a reference to a class using strings by using the getDefinitionByName as follows:var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName("myClass") as Class;var myClass1:classRef = new classRef();Similarly, how do you refer to functions and variables? The reason why I want to know is because I'm trying to implement a function which takes in the event handler name as the parameter, and what the function essentially does is that it adds an event listener with the associated handler (based on the parameter) to an object, something like this:
public function addListener(handler:String):void {
mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, "on" + handler);
}

ActionScript 3.0 :: Push Multiple Strings Into An Array, And Some Of The Strings Are The Same?
Aug 24, 2009I work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.
Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Unexpected Errors, Multiple Helper Classes, Extended Classes?
Jan 9, 2010The examples I'll use don't do anything - they're classes without ANY members - no variables, methods, anything.
Let's say I extends Sprite and call it MySprite.
I save it in test.core
[code]...
Now I create another custom class called MyWindow that extends MySprite.
I save it in test.windows
[code]...
Then I create another class that extends MyWindows (the example I'll use is a document class - but that doesn't matter - I've tested using an instance too).
[code]...
Notice that I'm not even trying to instantiate the helper classes - just having them there throws the error.
If there is only a single helper class, everything runs fine.
Also note that - as far as I can tell - this only happens when extending one class from another package, then extending that class with more than one helper object.I'm pretty sure there's no namespace bumps or typographical errors, as this is a very pared-down version of the original application.
EDIT: seems the problem exists even without the crossing packages - even extending MySprite in the document class with multiple internal classes generates this error.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Converting Variable Types For Passing In A Function?
Mar 17, 2009I'm trying to write a robust "eventMaker" function that I can run with arguments that will then create an event listener based on the arguments.
However, I can't seem to get it to pass the arguments. Functions are impossible to pass; it can't convert string versions back to functions, and passing the function as type :function just yields "function() function{}".
The same is true with strings and class definitions - if I want it to refer to an object in my other .AS file called "helloWorld", I can't make it think of helloWorld as anything other than a string or an object, and when I write commands based on it I get errors.
So how do I contain classes, functions, et al in variables that I can then reference again, in code, as those functions/classes? How can I convert a string value to something that the code will know is a reference?
