[AS 2.0, components] skinning problems

Dear all
I'm trying to change skin of Accordion inside my custom
component, without luck so far.
I don't have problems with skinning accordion when it's on
scene, with:
import mx.controls.Accordion;
Accordion.prototype.falseUpSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.falseDownSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.falseOverSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.falseDisabled = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.trueUpSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.trueDownSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.trueOverSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.trueDisabledSkin = "AccSkin";
Or something like that.
However when Accordion is inside my custom component it
doesn't work. Any hints?
P.S.
Accordion is a field inside component class, let's say:
var public myAccordion:Accordion, created inside
createChildren call.
I would love to change skin from movie, not inside component
class.

Not that I have seen. Use one or the other. Cant combine
those two..

A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Custom RH9 WebHelp skin: Problem opening PDF file from custom button

Hi, I've been troubleshooting and checking forums trying to figure out how to get a PDF file to open from a custom button on my WebHelp skin. It worked for me once upon a time, but I changed something in the document and tried to upload the new version and it has errored out ever since.
I want to have the ability to open the PDF in a new window from the custom button (called 'Printable PDF' on my skin), so I am using the following custom JavaScript in the 'Click On' field of the the custom button's components: window.open('print_test.pdf','printWindow','menubar=0,resizable=0,width=900,height=500,scr ollbars=1'); I know the script is good because I have the same script for the Support custom button and it works great. The only difference between those scripts is the Support script calls an .html file instead of a PDF and the window names says 'supportWindow' instead of 'printWindow'.
I've tried deleting and recreating the custom button, changing the JavaScript with a developer's help, generating the help on another machine thinking it was a glitch with my browser (using IE8) or RoboHelp license, and combing the help files numerous times. I've also ensured that the PDF file is stored in the skin and project folders along with the other project files/folders. I've used previous versions of RoboHelp and had no problems attaching a Word document and PDF, so I'm wondering if this is a bug in RH9?? Especially since it worked for me initially. Any assistance and/or fresh ideas are welcomed! Thank you!

Hello again
Happy I was able to help.
MOTW is only present and affects things when you are running content off your local C drive. It's value is in preventing that Yellow Information Bar and all that from appearing when you are using IE. Once you publish content to a server and access it that way you are in a different security zone and MOTW has no influence either way. So there would be no adantage to enabling it before publishing to a server. The only reason you might want to consider enabling it would be if you were copying the WebHelp to everyone's hard drive and having them run it from their hard drives.
Make sense?
Hope so... Rick

Instance specific skinning problem in Trinidad

In my project I am using Apache Trinidad( v1.2.4)+Jdev 11 TP3+JBoss 4.2.1.
I needed to set a skin on inputText components . In the skin CSS I wrote:
af|inputText::content{
background-color:Red;
Now in one inputText component on the page I needed a different style.
So I used the following
af|inputText::content.Change{
background-color:Green;
and put styleClass attriburte of that component as "Change".
But on rendering the page I could not find the change affecting the component.
It only affected the DOM of the inputText but not the content part.
I could ahve achieved the same thing using
.Change{
background-color:Green;
and setting styleClass="Change".
Am I missing out something??
Do I need to use FireBug to solve the problem??(I do not have it downloaded yet)

I think technical preview 2 does not yet support skinning of panelHeader. At least not to the level that you need. Looking at the skin documentation for this release, I see that panelHeader has very few selectors listed. Considering the complex appearance of that component there should be many more selectors. I would imagine that the next preview should have the skinning selectors documented and customizable.
Here's the documentation I was referring to:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/adffaces/11/doc/skin-selectors.html

ADF Faces skins problems using libraries

Hi,
I have been trying to use the tutorial on the following website:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfskins/index.html
This shows you how to create skins and things. The only problem is that I cannot see the view that is shown in the screenshot. I.e. I get a load of garbled gabage showing me the tags in the document instead of whats visually there.
I realise this is a problem with the library but everytime I try and set up the JSF and ADF libraries in the JSP Tag libraries of Tools->Manage Libraries I click the Execute Tags in JSP Visual Editor it lets me do it but then I click refresh on the window with sample.jspx in it and JDeveloper just dies.
The libraries I am using I have downloaded and followed the instructions on
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/jsf_howto/jsf.html
To do the JSF libraries and I have followed the same instructions for the ADF libraries. If anyone has any idea I would be glad of the help
Cheers
Daniel

I tried the same example and it is working fine with me. May I know the JDeveloper version you are using?

Developing new Swing Components - Visibility problems with UI classes

I was wondering if anyone out there had run into the following problems when developing new Swing components. If so it might be worth banding together and putting pressure on Sun to fix them. However, if no one else develops new Swing components then I guess I'm just a lone voice...
I have been writing a new dockable toolpanel Swing component and when it came to implementing the UI manager I was unable to access many of the standard features in basic and metal LAFs because they had been made package protected. This forced me to reimplement quite a bit of existing code which took time as well as being bad practice.
While in some cases I can understand this from a security POV I am pretty sure that in this case it is the result of lazy programming practice. Appart from basic architectural reasons for this I have noticed a trend where newer code seems to suffer from this more than the original code. The practice of using package protection reminds me of C++ style coding, or just that of an inexperienced developer who does not understand the need to code for extensibility.
An additional problem arises because the Security manager stops you cheating the system by putting new classes into the javax.swing.plaf... package structure. Thus the only way to solve this nicely is a proper fix.
This would entail going through all the UI PLAF classes and rationalizing the visibility to either public or protected as appropriate. Really there should be minimal use of package protection unless it is vital for security concerns.
Some Examples (there are many more):
javax.swing.plaf.basic.LazyActionMap
javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicBorders.RolloverMarginBorder
javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicBorders.SplitPaneDividerBorder (why are just these two classes package protected when all the others are public?)
javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalUtils
javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalBumps
Anyway, I am happy to give advice to other poor saps who wind up fighting the UI manager but it would be better if we could get Sun to sort out this mess (after all they created it).
Cheers, Lewis

It may be more a case of creating new Swing components and trying to provide support for all the standard LnFs.
This is very awkward although you can sometimes achieve what you want by borrowing resources from UIManager (a border here, an icon there etc.).
Essentially the problem is that Swing is designed to have new components added to it but the standard LnFs aren't quite so accommodating!

CS3 Components panel problem

Hi everyone,
I'm developing a CF8 application in Dreamweaver CS3. If I go
to the Components panel, I can see the application's components
listed, but if I click the "+" next to any of them to see the
methods, I get the error "There is a problem with this CFC." Anyone
know how I can resolve this?
BTW, the components work fine in the application; it's just
that I can't browse them in the components panel.
Thanks,
Russ

I was having the same problem in Dreamweaver CS4/10. I found this article and low and behold it worked!
http://forums.forta.com/messages.cfm?threadid=34621DAF-3048-80A9-EF22911CE2D2E463#9
I had "Separate user name and password authentication (allows multiple users) " enabled in the CF administrator under "Security-Administrator" and "Security-RDS".
After I disabled it/set it to "Use a single password only (default)" for both, I could see all my CFC's.
Good luck!

Af|selectManyChoice skinning problem

Hi all, we have been trying to modify the component af|selectManyChoice for a while now thru skinning to make it look a bit modern and smoother. We tried adding borders and such but unlike the af|selectOneChoice component, it is not following our code. Can you guys suggest how we can modify this component? For example, take the edges out. We usually do border-radius on other components and it all worked besides this component. We will greatly appreciate any help on this since we cant move forward by leaving this component behind because of uniformity.

Peter,
there is no easy solution to the. A LOV normally works only with on selected attribute. If you select more then one country the resulting query should use an IN clause (which is not available out of the box).
Jobinesh has blogged about a solution you can try:
http://jobinesh.blogspot.com/2010/09/using-bind-variable-for-sql-statements.html and http://jobinesh.blogspot.com/2010/12/using-oraclejbodomainarray-with.html

Skinning Problem

Hi,
I am currently using a custom skin in my application, extending blafplus-rich skin and everything is working fine. I am able to skin whatever I need. The problem that I am having is when I use the custom skin the +/- icons disappear from my tree tables. I am not changing anything in the tree table and even if css file has no entries in it, the icons are not appearing. Has anyone come across this problem? Has anyone a solution?
Thanks,
Conor

Hi Frank,
I tried that but it was not successful, but I think I may have found the problem. We are currently keeping all images and skins etc under a resources directory, so in my project I have Web Content>resources>skins>css>myskin.css
When I use firebug to look at the icon it shows the following url:
background-image:url(/myapp/resources/afr/disclosure_collapsed.png);
It looks like it has put "resources" into the url, if I remove "resources" from the url using firebug the icon appears. Also, If I move the css file up to Web Content>skins>css>myskin.css then it works correctly.
Is it a requirement that new skins have to be in a skins directory under web content, or is there something else that I need to do so that this doesn't happen?
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Conor

Differences between Browserlab ie7 & ie developer tools browsermode: ie7 + onion skin problem

Hi,
I've just noticed display differences between what I see in browserlab for ie7 and what I see using ie9, but in browsermode:ie7. I would have thought they would show the same as both are supposed to represent what the webpage would look like in ie 7. Please can someone explain:
a) why they should be different,
b) which is the correct one.
Basically the Menu is perfect in BLab, but is floated left in browsermode:ie7.
There is nothing out of the ordinary in the code for this page, just html, css, a tiny bit of javascript & some php.
I am using windows 7 on a PC and the problem occurs if I use BLab through Firebug or directly from Dreamweaver.
The url is my old site that I am in the middle of updating, but I still get the same error with the new site that I am testing locally:
http://www.laughingrabbit.co.uk/
Kind regards
I am also having a problem with the onion skin feature, which I had about 2 months ago, but which then went when I deleted the cache and rebooted - no such luck this time.
When I try and show 2 browser views over each other, only one will show when I slide the slider bar making direct comparison impossible - both views stay the same as the one on the left.
eg try http://www.laughingrabbit.co.uk/contact.html The corners of the form should be rounded only in later versions of ie, as it isn't supported in earlier version.
It is the same either through the main BL interface or Dreamweaver.
I have tried closing down BL, deleting cache etc (the usual stuff), but it doesn't make any difference. I work on a PC.
Has anyone else had issue with this and if so, how did you solve it.
AND YES, I AM SLIDING THE SLIDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT and all over, but ti makes no difference
regards
Bek

hi Mark, Here is one example, on my new site. I have used css3 to round the tabs in the navigation which works for FF5, but obviously not for ie7, but no matter how much I slide the slider accross the image (and the tabs) never change. i get the same whenever I try and use onionskin at the moment - the image doesn't change from the one on the left hand side. If I swapped FF5 & ie7 round (as per the image) then the rounded tabs change to square as you would expect in ie7, but don't change to rounded as you slide the slider to the FF5 side.
kind regards
bek

Audacious, skin problem. Cannot start.

Hello.
I just installed Audacious player, but I cannot start it. When I try to run the player, I get the following error message:
Unable to load skin.
Check that skin at '(null)' is usable and default scin is properly installed at '/usr/share/audacious/Skins/Default'.
I have the default skin in /usr/share/audacious/Skins/Default directory. I do not know what the first part of the message means (Check that skin at '(null)' is usable...). Can someone give me a hand.
I do not know what else information to post. If you need to know anything for my system, I will post the info. I have Arch GNU/Linux Core Dump, kernel: 2.6.24-ARCH. The system is installed as "Basic", I am using fluxbox ... If you need anything else ...
Regards.

OT: I'm sorry. I just couldn't help laughing at the subject, which makes perfect sense within the Linux context but which sounds truly bizarre otherwise.

Business Components Import problem

Hi,
I am having trouble using the Imports option in the Project Properties of my Model project (Project Properties -> Business Components -> Imports). I have a jar that I want to import to the project. However, when I click the Import button, locate my file and click Open, nothing happens. It doesn't import the jar, nor does it close the Import File dialog.
Is this a bug? I am able to get around it for now by modifying the Model.jpr and Model.jpx files but this isn't a long term solution.
Thanks,
Tracy

If you are attempting to import ADF BC objects packaged in a jar/adflib this is a known issue in the preview that has been resolved in more recent builds.

Netbeans SVG Components design problem

I have built a midlet using JSR-226 and I have the following problem.
My MIDlet code is more than a 1200 lines of code and still grows with most of it being if-else-else-if and case statements inside commandAction method, managing such a source is getting more and more complicated and I belive is just terible programming practice, what I would like to do is to refactor the code into patterns, I know about command pattern where I can simply create abstract class extending Command and then create all the cases in separate classes, like in the example from Dr. Dobb's Journal:
1. Create abstract class extending Command:
public abstract class AbstractCommand extends Command {
   public AbstractCommand(String label, int commandType, int priority) {
      super(label, commandType, priority);
   /* This is where the action goes. */
   public abstract void execute();
}2. Refactor the commandAction method to:
public void commandAction(Command command, Displayable d){
   AbstractCommand abstractCommand = (AbstractCommand)command;
   abstractCommand.execute();
}3. Simply create command classes extending AbstractCommand eg:
public class ExitCommand extends AbstractCommand {
   private MIDlet midlet;
   public ExitCommand(MIDlet m) {
      super("Exit", Command.EXIT, 2);
      midlet = m;
   /* This is where the action is. */
   public void execute() {
      midlet.notifyDestroyed();
}Very nice and easy! Only one problem, when using SVG the check in the commandAction method goes as the following:
if (command == SVGMenu.SELECT_COMMAND) {
                switch (getMainMenu().getSelectedIndex()) {
                    case 0:
                        getDisplay().setCurrent(getMovieMenu().getSvgCanvas());
                        break;
                    case 1: ....
.................ETC...The problem is that I cannot cast SVGMenu.SELECT_COMMAND or SVGSplashScreen.DISMISS_COMMAND to AbstractCommand because I get ClassCastException.
If anyone could tell me or point me to online resources how to refactor MIDlets with such a code I would be very gretfull.
Thanks in advance

Components overlapping problem

Hi,
i have two JPanel's.
first panel is having a MenuBar, it has two menu, say File, Edit.
'File' menu has dropdown menu.
second panel is having two buttons.
very briefly I put above explaination in below code:
menuBar.add(fileMenu);
menuBar.add(editMenu);
menuBar1.add(new Button("first"));
menuBar1.add(new Button("Second"));
menuPanel.add(menuBar);
menuPanel1.add(menuBar1);
menuPanel2.add(menuPanel,BorderLayout.NORTH);
menuPanel2.add(menuPanel1,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
contentPane.add(menuPanel2,BorderLayout.NORTH); //contentPane is Container
frame.getContentPane().add(contentPane);
My problem is when i click File menu, the drop down menu is going back of 'first' button.
i.e., 'first' button is overlapping the drop down menu. I am unable to see the first line of drop down menu.
How to overcome this problem ???
