Action & onMouseClicked Button Events

Hola!
There's something I don't understand why happen.
A button with action and onMouseClicked events:
Stage {
    title: "MyApp"
    scene: Scene {
        width: 100, height: 100
        content: [
            Button {
                text: "Button"
                action: function() {
                    println("action!!");
                onMouseClicked: function(e: MouseEvent): Void {
                    println("onMouseClicked!!");
}During execution, if I press the button, it will print:
action!!
onMouseClicked!!
Good! All right!
But, if I add and Alert popup in action event, like that:
Stage {
    title: "MyApp"
    scene: Scene {
        width: 100, height: 100
        content: [
            Button {
                text: "Button"
                action: function() {
                    println("action!!");
                    Alert.inform("action!!");   // <--------------------------------------
                onMouseClicked: function(e: MouseEvent): Void {
                    println("onMouseClicked!!");
}the onMouseClicked event function will not execute anymore.
Why?? O_o

Unable to capture button event in pageLayout Controller

Hi Guys,
I have the following layout
pageLayout
pageLayoutCO (controller)
----header (Region)
----------messageComponentLayout (Region)
-----------------MessageLovInpurt
-----------------MessageChoice(Item)
-----------------MessageTextInput
-----------------MessageLayout
----------HideShow (Region)

-----------------MessageTextInput(Item)
-----------MessageComponentLayout (Region)
-----------------MessageLayout
------------------------SubmitButton(ID:SearchBtn)
------------------------SubmitButton(ID:ClearBtn, fires partial action named clear)
-----------header(Region)
I am not able to capture the event fired by the button ClearBtn in the controller of the pagelayout.....
The two methods I used as follows aren't worked:
if ("clear".equals(pageContext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_PARAM)))
if (pageContext.getParameter("ClearBtn") != null) {
what should i do in order to capture the button event in the pageLayout Controller
Thanks in advance

Mandy,
Its really strange that its not able to caputure the event in CO.
Below is the way in which we handle to Submit action at CO level.
/Check whether ClearBtn is same in case too.
if(pageContext.getParameter("ClearBtn")!=null){
System.out.println("Inside the Clear Btn Action");

Not able to capture button event in pageLayout Controller

Hi Guys,
I have the following layout

----------messageComponentText (item)
----------messageComponentText (item)
----------messageComponentText (item)
----------messageLayout (Region)

----------------------button (item) (say BTN1) (fires partial action)
I am not able to capture the event fired by the button BTN1 in the controller of the pagelayout..... but if i set a controller at the messageComponentLayout iam able to capture the event.
what should i do in order to capture the button event in the pageLayout Controller
Thanks in advance
Tom.

Tom,
Two things:
1)The button ur using is of type submitbutton or button?.In this scenario it should be button.
2)The correct coding practice is using:
if("QUERY".equals(pageContext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_PARAM)))
instead of
String _event = pageContext.getParameter("event");
if("QUERY".equals(_event))
because you never know if Oracle in any upgrade or patch change the value of the constant EVENT_PARAM in class OAWebBeanConstants.
3)If first point is followed by you, just match the exact event name in code and in property inspector for the button.

WARNING: Actions on button

Hi
I do not understand why I am getting this warning below
WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0.
All scripts on object instances will be ignored.
Can someone help?
mimi

You can still use pretty much any objects that you have ever used before, though that's not saying they haven't changed in some way. In AS3 to manage things like buttons and other interactions the primary code approach involves creating event listeners and event handler functions. Here is a description of how you would approach coding a button, though the same could apply to a movieclip....
Let's say you create a button symbol. Since it is a button, it is already a self animating object that will react to mouse interactions, but only visually at this stage. The first thing you need to do to make it useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name. So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it. You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("site_section");
Here's some of what's involved there:
evt:MouseEvent - the event listeners throws an argument automatically which the function must be set up to receive. In this case I have given that argument a variable name of evt, though I could have chosen anything.
:void - this defines the class of the value that the function will return. In this case, the function does not return anything, so "void" is used. If it did return a value, you would see a line containing "return xyz"; in the function (where xyz is not literal, it simply represents the variable or value being returned) and the :void would be rplaced with some other class such as :String, :int, Date, etc....
In AS3, in strict mode, it is necessary to identify the types/classes of the variables being created, which is why you see :String, :MouseEvent, etc... showing up everywhere.
Now, to create another button with a unique function for it, you could just drag another copy of it from the library, give it a unique name, say btn2, copy/paste the code from btn1 and replace "btn1" with "btn2" in that copied code.

Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0?

I have recently updated my Flash and I seriously regret it as everything seems to of changed. For instance I want to publish a movie i created in Action Script 3.0. In this movie i have buttons which have actions applied to them and everytime i go to publish the site, it brings up the error
'WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored.'
How do I go about keeping my 3.0 elements but having buttons with actions applied to them. I am a complete beginner with Flash by the way so the answer would need to be completely straight forward.
Thanks!

okay, just to simplify this even further and to break it into steps..
1: I Create a new button.
2: I give it an instance name of say 'button'
3: I place the following code in the timeline
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,callFunction);
function callFunction(e:Event):void{
gotoAndPlay();
Now here is where I am stuck. What do you need to add to this to navigate to another scene?
Thanks again!!

Handling button events in large app

I'm currently examining a large swing app, and have observed the following with regard to action events.
A number of listeners (for buttons, menu items, JLists etc.) are defined at the top of the app. These variously extend MouseAdapter or implement ActionListener, depending on the type of component whose actions they listen for.
The ButtonListener definition is as follows :
private class ButtonListener implements ActionListener
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
Object object = event.getSource();
if (object == button1)
// button1 actions
else
if (object == button2)
// button2 actions
.....etc
One instance of this listener is created in the app, and is used as the actionlistener for each button. This means that the buttonlistener is quite large (as it contains the code for each button in the app).
Is this the proper way to handle button events for an app with a large number of buttons?

Thanks for the responses.
In response to theDude : I agree that defining the action listener for each button can be useful when you can see the button definition and button action in one place; one could counter that by saying that grouping all the button actions makes it easier to examine all button actions in one place.
Setting the action command isn't really an option because the application creates panels of buttons on the fly, e.g. when notification of a new customer is received, a new panel is created with a JTextPane (customer description) and a row of buttons for "Modify", "Delete" and "Print".
Several customer panels could be in existence at the same time, so setting an action command of "Modify" would not enable one to uniquely identify which "Modify" button was pressed.
This problem is currently handled by associating the panel instance with a "Customer" class instance in a hashtable. The "Customer" class consists of a JTextPane field, and a JButton for each function. When a button is pressed, the button listener traverses up the component's parents until it reaches the panel (i.e. it loops until the parent is a key on the hashtable, at which point it can retrieve the Customer instance and check which button was pressed).
In response to KPSeal : If I understand you, I would define "ApplicationAction" separately from the main app and define extensions of it in the main app for each type of action. Would this add much value over merely defining a method for each type of action in the main app and just calling this method when the relevant button/menu item was pressed/selected?
There doesn't seem to be a universal approach to event handling, but I thought there might have been one accepted strategy when an app has large numbers of buttons (some created on the fly, ruling out action commands).

Few seconds of processing & button events

Hi,
i have a 'theory' question -
some feature of my app has a bit long processing time, about a few seconds, in which there's an activity indicator running.
this processing should start after the user pressed some "start process" button.
my question is -
is it good or bad or neither to do this large processing issue from within the button's event method (the one connected to "TouchUpInside" event for example, or there's a better way to use events to signal other parts of the application to do that processing.
the reason i ask this is when i do the processing from within the buttons event method, the button is highlighted and than remains highlighted until all the process is done.it seems that the highlight is there until the button's event method finished.
i hope i explained myself clearly enough.
thanks a lot.

nkobik wrote:

The problem in this case isn't which method starts the long process. No matter where you run that task, it's going to freeze the UI until you get it out of the main thread. Running the process in the action method makes the problem more noticeable since the button's state can't change until the process completes, but freezing the UI is never acceptable even if some users don't notice it. I.e. even if the app has nothing useful to do until the long process completes, the controls should still respond normally, if only to pop up an alert asking the user to be patient. Generally the user should also have the opportunity to cancel a long process, which isn't going to be possible with a frozen UI.
So it looks like you need to bite the bullet and use some kind of concurrent operation. I think the choice will depend in part on your experience and preference. If you're comfortable with threaded programming, starting a helper thread to run the long process might be the easiest for you. However the SDK supports higher level concurrency management, and if you're not familiar with the NSOperation classes you might want to look over the Concurrency Programming Guide.
Whatever approach you decide on, let us know if you need help with it, and I'm sure someone around here will be able to advise you.

Issue in execution of Dynamic action on change event

Hi,
Greetings.
I have scenario, where I have one select list (P_CATEGORY) and one shuttle control (P_ROOMS) on page.
The values of the shuttle list is being populated based on the selected value in select list.
The left pane of shuttle control's value based on LOV and source of the shuttle item is a plsql function, which returning colon separated value list.
So that returned values shown in the right pane of shuttle.
The LOV values are getting being populated using cascading LOV i.e based on the of Select List item. But the Shuttle source values not getting auto refresh and for achieving that I've created a dynamic true action on change event of Select list.
The dynamic action is with :
Action : Set Value
Set Type : PL SQL funciton body
Page items to submit : P_CATEGORY (this is select list)
Escape Special Character : Yes
Suppress Change event : Yes
Affected Elements -
Selection type : Item(s)
Item(s) : P_ROOMS
This is perfectly working on Firefox but not working on IE9 & Google Chrome.
I've debugged in both IE9 & Google chrome and found the dynamic action get executes ajax call and the values get back but not rendering on the screen. i.e not assigning to the item.
So can you please advice me what will be a workaround for this issue?
I am using Application Express 4.1.0.00.32 .
I'll appreciate your prompt response.
Thanks & Regards,
Jaydipsinh Raulji

I don't understand why this is not working withouth seeing an example, there might be multiple processes working on the item.
Anyway if the value is returned check if the value is in the session aswell. If it is in the session but not on the page that means you will need to find a way to bring it from the DB to the page. You can do this by adding an action to your DA:
Action: Execute PL/SQL code
PL/SQL code: NULL;
Page Items to Return: your shuttle item

How to show a message in a form 'PL/SQL Button Event Handler'

We need validate the sal of an employee, and if it is bigger the value musts
not be inserted.
We trying a code like the one shown in the note 134312.1 'HOW TO PASS A
PARAMETER FROM A PORTAL FORM TO A STORED PROCEDURE' and it works in the insert event of the insert button (using 'PL/SQL Button Event Handler') and it works, but we need to show a message that says the data wasn't inserted. How can we do this?
The code we used is:
declare
v_deptno scott.emp.deptno%type;
v_empno scott.emp.empno%type;
v_sal scott.emp.sal%type;
mySal scott.emp.sal%type;
v_string varchar2(256);
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
begin
select sal into mySal from scott.emp where empno=7369;
v_deptno:=p_session.get_value_as_number(p_block_name=>blk,
p_attribute_name=>'A_DEPTNO');
v_empno:=p_session.get_value_as_number(p_block_name=>blk,
p_attribute_name=>'A_EMPNO');
v_sal:=p_session.get_value_as_number(p_block_name=>blk,
p_attribute_name=>'A_SAL');
v_string:='You just inserted empno: '||to_char(v_empno) ||'to deptno ->
'||to_char(v_deptno);
if mySal < v_sal then
doInsert;
else
-- We want to display a message here, when mySal > v_sal
end if;
end;
----------------------------------

I did something similar but wasn't using a stored procedure. Couldn't you set a flag variable once you know you're not doing the insert and in the "before displaying the form" section put an IF to check if your flag was set, and if so do an HTP.Print('You are overpaid buddy!');
Then just reset your flag.

Where did access to button events on page 0 go?

Hello.
I have a simple menu system established for my applications where a select list item and a button are created on page 0.
If I choose to "Create a button in a region position" when I establish the button (let's call it "GO_MENU", I am given the option of choosing the button event for branches on the other pages in the Conditions for the branch under "When Button Pressed". So far so good.
However, if I choose "Create a button displayed among this region's items" when I establish the button, the button does not appear in the LOV for the "When Button Pressed" condition in the branches for any of the other application pages. What's magical about this choice that suppresses the availability of the button event from the other pages?
Thanks,
Vini

Vini,
For your branch,
use condition type: "Request = Expression 1"
expression 1 = P0_GO_MENU
Why it doesn't show your page item button in the LOV? Because it's not a standard button anymore...
I don't have other information... someone from the ApEx dev team should be able to give more technical explanation.

Custom Button Event Handler

I'm working on a form that inserts data into my database. The normal Insert PL/SQL just does "doInsert". I want to add in the PL/SQL Button Event Handler a condition statement as follows:
IF :new.name_id != null THEN
doInsert;
ELSE
"do something else"
END IF;
"name_id" is one of the form items. I want to check the value in name_id before I insert it into the database. What is the correct verbage in order for this condition to work -- :new.name_id does not work.
Thanks
Susan
