8.1, Change pageflow state from event listener

Hi,
I've implemented an event listener in a backing file (like in the custom event
tutorial ).
The backing file is assigned to a portlet.
Is it possible to change the state of the portlets pageflow when an event is received?
I want to reset the pageflow so that the 'begin' action is executed again.
From the tutorial and sample portal I found out, that how to change the window
mode or the visibility, but I can't find any methods for setting the current url/action.
Another solution would be to setup a listenTo relationship and redirect the incoming
actions to the 'begin' action. What I'm missing here is the possibility to trigger
such an event from a page flow (which is possible when using custom events). Can
this be done?
Bye
Achim

try to go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools
Disable and set the trigger as never at task scheduler > time sync
You can also try to clean boot

Is it possible to change application state from a component?

I was wondering if it is possible to change application state from within a custom component and if so, what would the syntax be if I had an application named "zzz" and I wanted to change the app state from "state1" to "state2" from my component?
Thanks!

Hi,
you always have a static class Application.
Application.application will be the root component. After that you can change it state.
Application.application.currentState = "state2";
But it's not the best way to change states. It's better to dispatch events from components and change states in listeners.

Changing container State from a component

Hi, I try to change the state of an application from a button
inside a mxml component. I found a way for this by handling click
event inside the component and dispatch event to the container (see
the code below). But my problem is that any click is dispatched ! I
would like that only one button dispatch this event, or better :
calling a container's function from the button inside my component
! Is this possible ?
Thanks for your help
Here is a part of the container code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="570" height="360" xmlns:local="*">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.events.Event;
public function handleCloseEvent(eventObj:Event):void {
currentState='carte';
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="liste">
<mx:AddChild position="lastChild">
<local:liste_vin_region click="handleCloseEvent(event);"
id="fenetre">
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="carte"/>
</mx:states>
</mx:Canvas>
And the component code :
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="514" height="300" xmlns:local="*">
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="click", type="flash.events.Event")]
</mx:Metadata>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.events.Event;
// Redispatch event.
private function
handleCloseEventInternally(eventObj:Event):void {
dispatchEvent(eventObj);
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="liste"/>
</mx:states>
<mx:TitleWindow layout="absolute" left="10" top="10"

<mx:Button y="14" label="X" right="19" width="29"
click="handleCloseEventInternally(event);" id="button1"/>
</mx:Canvas>

Yes ! That's exactly what I need !
I've tried to do : this._parent like in Flash, but no

Change button state from another button

From reading some other posts it would seem that you can only create rectangular button outlines (not buttons but the outlines you drag out in DVDSP to definte your button area).
Well I have a menu design that has buttons that run at an angle across the page, and they are very close together, so if I use a single rectangular outline it will cover more than one button.
So, I want to create several small button outlines to cover my button area, but I'd like to have it so that when a button is in a "Selected" state it automatically makes another button "selected" and it is this button that has a overlay highlight that will inidcate what the user is selecting.
So can a button be moused over and automatically "select" another button.
(When I say "select" I do NOT mean activated - I don't want to mouseover a button and another button get activated and the user gets taken to the buttons target).
I also don't want to use a layed PSD file as I don't really like the delay you get.
I hope this makes sense. If not, I can make some images to show what I mean.
Thanks in advance

Sorry Rob - I don't think you'll be able to do that... a DVD button isn't able to be linked to a different button so that it can set it to be selected. The buttons are not that 'intelligent', I'm afraid.
From what you say you can either use very small buttons with a simple highlight to the side of the text on the back drop, or (sadly) re-do the menu bakground to accommodate the nature of the button rectangles.

How can I check if a function is or is not called from the event listener? in Flash CS4 (AS3)

Hi,
I came across a little problem.
I put an event listener inside a for loop and the for loop inside a function.
I want the for loop to end as soon as the event listener inside the for loop calls its function.
Here is the general code for a better picture.
Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function#1);
function function#1(event:Event):void{
          if(something is true){
                    for(var i = 0; i < numOfmy_mcs; i++){
                              this["my_mc_"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function#2);
function function#2(e:Event):void{
//do something cool here
Thank you for any help!

kglad wrote:
that for-loop (if it executes), defines listeners for interactive objects. that will complete long before any object is clicked.
Well yes but it does it again and again (frames per second times seconds = number of times it goes through the code if i'm not mistaken), because it is inside a function, and through testing i found out that it works like this:
Example:
there are 5 my_mc's in my project: (my_mc_0, my_mc_1, my_mc_2, my_mc_3, my_mc_4)
if i click my_mc_0 function#2 is called and executed. BUT only after the loop finishes (i know this from tons of testing)...which is unnecessary since you cannot click two places at once. This might not be a problem in this example because i am only using 5 my_mc's buy if i use 500000000 my_mc's it would make a lot of difference.
is there a way to stop the loop if the function is called?
...maybe there is a better way to write it, the only alternative i know that works is if i manually write every single listener and this also is logical in this example but as i said next to impossible if the numbers get bigger.
-Note
I didn't specify this earlier but function#2 makes the if statement false so it wont jump back into it.
Thank you for the help I really appreciate it!

Change a state in main.mxml from a script in another mxml

Hi,
i'm having some trouble with my application, let's say i have the main application file called MAIN.MXML
in wich i have set different States, and have different forms.
now i have a form called loginForm which contains the textInput item for Login and Password, i also have a link Need to Register
which onClick will change the state to show in the same panel a different form registerForm (with the relevant textInput items)
now the MAIN.MXML includes a custom component called <comp: NetworkManager /> which includes all the logic scripts and MXML
tags to create and manage an HTTPService request to a PHP Server.
when the user click on the Login button, this will call a function included in the main.as script (imported in MAIN.MXML) which
will call a function in the script within NetworkManager.MXML passing all the form data.
in NetworkManager.MXML the script will create an XML message, will send to the PHP Server and wait the response... if this comes
true the user is authenticated, otherwise is not.
so far so good, i get the message sent, the correct response back. Now i want to hide the form in MAIN.MXML and put something like
Welcome firstName lastName!! instead. But i don't know how to do it. If i try to access the states in MAIN.MXML from the NetworkManager.MXML
i'll get all sort of errors which i don't have it here with me.
I know this sounds like a newbie question, and it really is ... any taker?
your help is much appreciated.
thanks

Error ocurring when Event Listener methode in "for statement" is called

Hy guys,
I would be gratefull if somebody could answer me how can I
call a method from flex in "for statement", that is actually in my
remote service implemented. I call the method loadAssetsResult()
(event listener method in my action script) and get a collection of
objects back. In the same method I want to iterate throught this
collection and call another method from remote service, that is
specified for this object. Problem is when I call this remote
method inside of this loop statement. I get the error when I write
my code like following one:
public function loadAssetsResult(event:ResultEvent):void {
for (i=0; i<event.result.length; i++) {
a = new Asset();
a.longName = event.result
.longName;
a.shortName = event.result.shortName;
a.isin = event.result
.isin;
a.nsin = event.result.nsin;
a.currentDayClose = event.result[0].currentQuote.dayClose;
//Schluskurs
assets.addItemAt(a, i);
RO.getIndicatorCollection(i);
DataBinding();
When I comment the row: RO.getIndicatorCollection() it works,
of course without these additional data that I get from that
method. I need to call this method inside loop statement (for each
object), but I don't know how, without getting this error?
please somebody help me with some ideas

Sheila

Kris,
First of all you should increase the value of logging-config/character-limit element in tangosol-coherence.xml to see the message entirely. The default setting is 4096 which is not enough to see your exception text.
When you do that I believe you will see that the actual exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException indicating that the node that has the listener installed doesn't know about the class that is being put into the cache and could be easily fixed as shown here: http://www.tangosol.com/faq-coherence.jsp#classnotfound
Please let me know if that doesn't help.

Can't remove event listener from Image

I'm clearly missing something and would appreciate some help. I'm trying to run an event handler when an Image completes loading, then remove the handler so that it won't run again should the image be reloaded later.
The problem that I'm having is that the event handler simply wont' go away, despite calling removeEventListener on the Image object.
The following example demonstrates the problem (the example doesn't actually do anything useful...it's just the shortest example to demonstrate the problem). (To run the app, you'll have to provide any ol' JPEG file named "myImage.jpg" in the "src" directory of your project).
What I expect to happen is :
     1) on startup, the image loads and loadComplete() runs.
     2) loadComplete removes the event Listener so that subsequent re-loads won't re-fire the handler. I only want the handler to run once.
     3) "loadComplete" shoudl be displayed in the Debug console.
     4) A button click should display only "Changing Image" in the Debug console
What I get instead is that the loadComplete handler isn't removed, and every time I click the button, loadComplete runs when the image is re-loaded   (i.e., every button click results in both "Change Image" AND "loadComplete" being displayed in the Debug console).

Hi,
You can remove only event listeners that you added with the addEventListener() method in an ActionScript block. You cannot remove an event listener that was defined in the MXML tag, even if it was registered using a call to the addEventListener()method that was made inside a tag attribute.
Check this page for reference.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=events_05.html
You can modify the code a bit a get it working
<mx:Image width="655" height="181" id="myImage" scaleContent="true"
          x="100" y="100"
          creationComplete="myImage_creationCompleteHandler(event)"/>
private function myImage_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
     myImage.addEventListener("complete",myImage_completeHandler);
     myImage.load("myImage.jpg");
private function myImage_completeHandler(event:Event):void
     myImage.removeEventListener("complete",myImage_completeHandler);

G'day. I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space. How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

G'day. I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space. How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

Changing states from within a component

Let's say that I have a TileList that is rendering data in a
VBox. Eventually the TileList fills up and starts scrolling. I want
to change states when clicking on item in the TileList.
I don't want to place the click-attribute in the TileList,
because it will change states when I am scrolling the list without
actually selecting anything.
I want to say click="currentState='state2'" inside the VBox,
but that does not work because state2 is at the root level, and I
don't know how to get to the root-level (in lack of a better word)
from withing the component.
This is not the proper syntax, so misunderstand me the right
way here... Is there an equivallence to
click="currentState='_root.state2'" in mxml?
Thanks for any suggestions or best practices. I want the easy
way out.
This is the general structure...
<mx:Application>
<mx:states>
<mx:State id="state1"/>
<mx:State id="state2"/>
<mx:State id="state3"/>
</mx:states>
<mx:TileList dataprovider="{...}">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:component>
<mx:VBox id="ClickThisBoxToChangeStates">
<mx:Image/>
<mx:Label/>
</mx:Vbox>
</mx:component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:TileList>
</mx:Application>

Your assumption is right.
It doesn't work because there is no state2-state defined
within the mx:component.
In the documentation about changing states it says that I can
go from application level and change states within a component;
like this: click="currentState='mycomponent.anotherstate'" but not
how I can change a state at application level from within a state.
When I try, it says (at runtime) that the state is not defined.
So I don't know why <mx:VBox
click="currentState='state2'"/> doesn't work.
I apprechiate your expertese a lot.

Remove event listener from loaded external swf

I have a main movie timeline that loads an external swf. When I unload the swf from the main timeline I get an error from this: my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, vidEnd);
is there any way to remove the event listener from the loaded swf from the main timeline?
THANKS!

if you're publishing for fp 10+, use unloadAndStop() applied to your swf's loader. that has a fair chance of solving the problem.
if that fails, you should explicitly stop my_FLVPlybk.

Is there any event listener for changing the selection of layer?

Hi all,
I am looking into an event listener which fires on changing the selection of layer. I found 'Select' event listener which fires on selecting the different object.
Actually the problem with Select event listener is that when we select an object and move it and deselect it by clicking on the document, event fires on the selection of that object. But if we again select the same object and move it, no event is fired at that time.
Is there any workaround of this? So that the event is fired every time when we select the same object.
Please help me on this..
Regards,
VG.

Thanks for the reply..
Actually I want the same behaviour as in illustrator i.e
- Select a layer. (Notifier calls the listener)
- Move it.
- Click on the document.
- Again select the same layer. (Notifier calls the listener again)
- Move it.
But in photoshop,
- Select a layer. (Notifier calls the listener)
- Move it.
- Click on the document.
- Again select the same layer. (Notifier doesnot calls the listener again as the layer is already selected in panel as you explained.)
- Move it.
Is there any way to get the same behaviour of illustrator in photoshop?

Change base view state from a custom component

I'm pretty new to flex and I'm having a small issue in change the view state from a component.
My Application have 2 custom components called userlogin and main menu. In the main application page I have userlogin component in one state and the main menu component in another. I'm trying to change the state if the login in successful from user login to main menu. I have the following function written inside the login component.
private function IsUserLoggedIn(evt:ResultEvent):void
                if (evt.result.islogin.toString() == "true")
                    currentState = "MainMenu";
                else
                    Alert.show("Login failed, please try again.", "Login Failed");
This code worked when I had all the controls in the main page. But then I created components and included them in to components and now when the login is success, its giving the following error.
ArgumentError: Undefined state 'MainMenu'.
    at mx.core::UIComponent/getState()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\UI Component.as:9908]
    at mx.core::UIComponent/findCommonBaseState()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src \mx\core\UIComponent.as:9928]
    at mx.core::UIComponent/commitCurrentState()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\ mx\core\UIComponent.as:9750]
    at mx.core::UIComponent/setCurrentState()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\ core\UIComponent.as:9701]

    at components::UserLoginForm/__btnSubmit_click()[C:\Projects\WarrantyAutomation\src\componen ts\UserLoginForm.mxml:60]
I'm sure this has something to do with accessing the states from a custom component, but I do not know how to change the state to the main menu. Please help me with this. Any help is greatly appriciated.

Hi dasun1981,
private function IsUserLoggedIn(evt:ResultEvent):void
                if (evt.result.islogin.toString() == "true")
                    currentState = "MainMenu";
                else
                    Alert.show("Login failed, please try again.", "Login Failed");
If I am right the above function is in your userlogin component and the two components "userlogincomponent" and "maincomponent" are in main application file and the states were also defined in main application file.
But in the function above the currentState refers to the state of the userlogin component and not the main application ...but the states are defined in main application file...that's the reason why the exception was thrown...
Instead you replace the line in the above function with the below line:
Application.application.currentState = "MainMenu";
Please mark it as answer if it helped you.
Thanks,

Agent cannot change to the requested state from current state

Hi all,
I have a new setup using uccx 8 and ccme 8.1 . Everything seems fine exept from randomly agents stuck to a not ready state. When trying to go to a ready state we get the following error "cannot change to the requested state from your current state" . The only option is to log out the agent and then log back in.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
I did the downgrade but no good. After a long search i found what finally the problem is.
The lines are stuck when there is a trasfer from a non icd dn to an icd dn. Believe it or not this is not supported when the setup uses ccme
You cannot transfer a call from a common dn to a uccx extension.
All unsupported features are listed below

Shrink Log file in log shipping and change the database state from Standby to No recovery mode

Hello all,
I have configured sql server 2008 R2 log shipping for some databases and I have two issues:
can I shrink the log file for these databases: If I change the primary database from full to simple and shrink the log file then change it back to full recovery mode the log shipping will fail, I've seen some answers talked about using "No
Truncate" option, but as I know this option will not affect the log file and it will shrink the data file only.
I also can't create maintenance to reconfigure the log shipping every time I want to shrink the log file because the database size is huge and it will take time to restore in the DR site, so the reconfiguration
is not an option :(
how can I change the secondary database state from Standby to No recovery mode? I tried to change it from the wizard and wait until the next restore for the transaction log backup, but the job failed and the error was: "the step failed". I need
to do this to change the mdf and ldf file location for the secondary databases.
can any one help?
Thanks in advance,

1. If you change recovery model of database in logshipping to simple and back to full Logshipping will break and logs wont be resored on Secondary server as log chain will be broken.You can shrink log file of primary database but why would you need that
what is schedule of log backup. Frequent log backup is already taking care of log files why to shrink it and create performance load on system when log file will ultimately grow and since because instant file initilaization is not for Log files it takes time
to grow and thus slows performace.
You said you want to shrink as Database size is huge is it huge or does it have lots of free space. dont worry about data file free space it will eventually be utilized by SQL server when more data comes
2. You are following wrong method changing state to no recovery would not even allow you to run select queries which you can run in Standby mode. Please refer below link to move Secondary data and log files
