I have been trying to find a way to connect Flex to sharepoint in an elegant way that allows me to update lists, build charts, and create widgets with FLEX on the client-side. I have researched this extensively but I am running into circles.
I understand the basics of Flex data connection/webservices/etc... , I just can't seem to get my head around how to use the sharepoint list services.
Is there any way to get the sum of items based on some filters from sharepoint list? I was trying to access the GetListItems method. But this returns all the items in the list. That makes the data heavy. My requirement is to get only the sum of items. For example items created in a specific year.I am trying to populate a chart in flex from the sharepoint list. Accessing all the items and then calculating the sum in flex will not work always where the list contains more items.

I heard from an article somewhere that Flash can now use SharePoint lists instead of an XML file.
However, I'm having trouble locating a tutorial which will explain how to get a Flash app to draw from a SharePoint list.
I'm working with SharePoint 2010, Flash CS4, and I'm currently using AS3 to pull in data from the XML file on the Flash app.
how to pass variables from flash to a SharePoint list? (a step-by-step of the entire process would be best)

View 2 RepliesI have a List that displays the contents of an SQlite database I have created. However, When I run the function to delete one of the user-selected items from the database, the items is still displayed until I refresh the View (right now by clicking 'home' and the reentering the View). How can I get the list to automatically update when the user deletes an item? [code]...
View 2 RepliesI have a simple list and a background refresh protocol.When the list is scrolled down, the refresh scrolls it back to the top. I want to stop this.I have tried catching the COLLECTION_CHANGE event and validateNow(); // try to get the component to reset to the new datalist.ensureIndexIsVisible(previousIndex); // actually, I search for the previous data id in the IList, but that's not importantThis fails because the list resets itself after the change).I hate to use a Timer, ENTER_FRAME, or callLater(), but I cannot seem to figure out a way.The only other alternatives I can see is sub-classing the List so it can catch the dataProviderChanged event the DataGroup in the skin is throwing.
View 4 RepliesI'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to pull data from a column in a SharePoint 2007 list to be able to dyamically generate a reaction in a flash object.Our designer created a dashboard of thermometers for our projects that use two variables, % complete and status (green, yellow, red, blue).
As the end user, I want to be able to update my project in my SharePoint list and have it so that my updates automatically populate that flash based dashboard.Right now, he's using an XML document that is stored in a folder on our SharePoint site and then simply updating the XML file when there are changes.It would be ideal to pull this data from the list rather than having to update and then upload the xml document to the SharePoint site.
I have My Sharepoint Web Service URL, but when i try to access it i get HTTP Request Error. My Share point Webservice has credentials in it. I have also set that in Flex.
webService.setRemoteCredentials("CITMOSSAdministrator","Pa$$w0rd"); When i trace the url, my console does read the XML, but i am unable to call the method. It throws me HTTP Request Error.
I am deploying a flex application in sharepoint as a web part. I am planning to use sharepoint user credentials for my flex application. My flex application consists of various different user roles like author,reviewer etc . An author should be able to see all the list of sharepoint users available and can make any number of them as reviewer or author . For this I require following functionality through sharepoint for my flex application:-
1) Getting list of all users of sharepoint
2) Getting the username of the current logged in user of sharepoint through the flex application, which is deployed as a web part in sharepoint.

I'm trying to update a List component pushing new items inside his DataProvider object.
I've tried with a:
MY_LIST.invalidateList();
MY_LIST.validateNow();
but the list doesn't change, anyone has some suggestions?
Can you use the FileReference.upload() function to upload files to Sharepoint or do I have to use the SP web services? This is without adding your own ASP.NET Web Services, just using the built in SP Web Services.

The 'recommendations' dataProvider is an ArrayCollection of String, which are generally sentences about as long as this one. By setting the variableRowHeight and wordWrap properties as shown, if a sentence is too long to fit on a single line, everything works fine- the row expands and the messages show on two lines, or occasionally three.
The space allocated for this panel within the entire canvas means if the total text size of 'recommendations' exceeds six lines, I need for the entire list scroll. This is also working just fine. The trouble is when using the mouse wheel to do the scrolling- Flex scrolls both the entire list and the single item where the mouse is hovering. Often this results in only the second half of a sentence being visible. Non-programmer friends I have asked to look at this noticed this, and tell me it as a problem. If a user does not notice the dual scrolling, and sees only a fragment of a sentence, it will be perceived as an error in the application.

When a user selects a category from the first drop down box then i want the 2nd drop down to be updated based on the selection of the first drop down. I have created multiple ArrayCollections whose names are set to the "data" values of the first drop down, for instance:
[Bindable]
public var countries:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{label:"USA",data:"USA"},

I am currently working on a project in Flex and I am having a hard time having a list's contents ALL be selected by default. Wondering how to do this.
<mx:List id="list" dataProvider="{dp}" allowMultipleSelection="true"/>
I'm just trying to have the list all selected.
I'm trying to animate a list as I delete the top row. All the examples I can find use itemsChangeEffect to bind to the effect, but this property exists only in MX lists, not spark lists.
Any idea how I can get the same effect done in Spark Lists?
I'm trying to remove the top most item in the list with a slight fade out effect before the rest of the items move up to replace the gap.
while i using drag & drop from listbox1 to listbox2 ,how can i get all the items of listbox2 in flex
View 1 RepliesThe traditional way to assign an icon would be to use the icon field of the item renderer,which reads the value of "icon" property in your data, for example:
listData.addItem({label: "Logout", icon: "com.classpth.DefualtThemeLogoutIconClass"});
But i want the DefualtThemeLogoutIconClass to changed to another class: ightThemeLogoutIconClass when the theme is changed.The only way to do this would be to use a style declaration containing a classReference to the icon, and change its the value in each of the CSS files of the various themes.The question is, is there any way to assign this style to an icon in a List, something as easy as intuitive as list[0].getIcon().setStyle("styleName");
We would like to display flash video files (tutorials) on our Sharepoint site.Problem is, we cannot seem to either stop it from auto-playing (using the Windows Media Player) or start it playing by clicking (using flash embed).We have a Content Editor WebPart with this code currently:

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="video.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>

how we can get a "play" button or begin the video playing once the user clicks it?
It loads an xml file from the site's webservice and retrieves all the data from a list.If you look at the xml, attribuevalue pairs they can be in any order from the webservice.Also depending on the list set up in sharepoint the column names in the list will be different and therefore the xml schema changes. It sets up the namespacesit the calls getRSAttribues (my shiney new piece of code It then creates a multidimensional array with the attribute names from the schema of the XML then queries the data with the dynamically set up attributes.Its my first bit of action script and i would like some advice on how to improve the getRSAttribues function as the array seems to have an extra level to it. Any advice on how i would go about making it into a method or a parser/class/whatever would be very interesting.

I'm creating a Flash game that will be placed in a Sharepoint page. Is there a way to export data from the Flash game (ex: the user's score) to a different Sharepoint page? I'd like to display the high scores of different players in Sharepoint. Note: I'm using ActionScript 2.0 So here is the sequence of events... Player completes Flash game embedded in a Sharepoint page Flash exports player's score to Sharepoint database
Second Sharepoint page displays top ten player scores from database.
i developed a short movie in actionscript 2.0 with all of the AS is in one frame, and i chose "loop" under publish settings. the swf file has been added to a web part on my sharepoint site, but the movie will not loop. how can i get it to loop infinitely? is there AS that i can add for this? or does some coding need to be added to the aspx file?

I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers. Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin. But now my Problem: After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working) I figured the Updater works like this: First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins. First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled. But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error. This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before) How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?
