Bugging Array by using COMBO BOX component !!!

Hi,
Today, I create a flash with Array. I did use prototype
method to add one more fantastic function to sort the array
randomly. But when I include one combo box component with static
value in to the parent file, I have a big trouble. The flash file
stop running & give the alert of endless looping. Ah ha, what a
funny thing is happened out there?
If you want to produce this bug, please follow me.
Step1: Create 1 flash movie & name it "test.fla". Copy
the code below into the first frame.
Array.prototype.randomSort = function():Array {
var arr1:Array = this;
var arr2:Array = new Array();
var rand:Number;
while (arr1.length>0) {
trace(arr1.length);
rand = Math.floor(Math.random()*arr1.length);
if (rand == 1 && arr1.length == 1) {
rand = 0;
arr2.push(arr1[rand]);
arr1.splice(rand, 1);
return arr2;
Step2: Export the movie by Ctrl+Enter -> we will have
test.swf huh?
Step3: Create another flash & name it "main.fla".
Step4: In main.fla, create an empty movieclip symbol &
name it loader_mc. Drag it to the stage & five the instance
name "XXXloader_mc" for example.
Step5: In main.fla, Drag one combo box component to the stage
& add some data to the combo
Step6: In the first frame of main.fla, load the test movie
into XXXloader_mc. Try this
XXXloader_mc.loadMovie("test.swf");
Step7: Export main.fla. Ctrl+Enter again.
Congratulation, you are in the problem.

both together caused the problem and i don't see a problem
with your randomSort() method although destroying the original
array seems like a bad idea and is one of the 2 reasons for your
problem:
one, the combobox is executing your method (and every other
array prototype method that exists) every time it's clicked. that
looks like a bug in the combobox component.
and two, your prototype is causing a problem because it
destroys the arrays that call your method.

To filter data in two dates using combo box component

Hi,
I have a requirement like, i need to filter data in chart between two dates from two combo box.. From combo_box and To combo_box.
I am using one QaaWS to populate LOV's into Combo box's and another QaaWS for chart data. Universe is the same one on SAP BI query.
LOV's are populating into both combo's and chart as well, i used a query refresh button after choosing two dates and press button.
Data is not reflecting as per the choice of dates.
If any one have such scenario, request you to share the same....
Thanks in advance...
Raj..

Problem is with ranges, not with dates, my data is working fine with CALDAY (in BI Query)....
My query variable is on FiscalPeriod month, like "FEB 2011" to "OCT 2011" and is optional, but it is fails in QaaWS to execute when i try to input any months.
If we give default values in BI query format is like K4/010.2011 for october month. QaaWS doesnt fail and executes, but if i change any value in QaaWS it is taking as "OCT 2011"
And in Xcelsius it is not recognizing eaither of the formats like, K4/010.2011 or "OCT 2011"
the format is not matching with xcelsius.

Help with Combo Box Component

I am creating an application with comboboxes and using action
script to load them. I can figure out how to change text color of
the choices in the combo box, but can anyone tell if it is possible
to make the text choices appear as different colors. For instance
if I wanted all of the choices to be black text, but for the third
choice down to appear red.
Thanks for the help.

You can set the backgroubd color if that helps.
To set the second item to have a red background, attach this
to the combobox:
on(open){
dropdown.setPropertiesAt(1,{backgroundColor:0xFF0000})
}

Combo Box Component

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to put a comboBox in my Flash
form and normally I just use something like:
countryList.dataProvider = ["Country1", "Country2",
"Country3", "Country4"];
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.change = function(evtObj:Object) {
// code placed here executes
// when the event is triggered
trace("Selected Item: "+countryList.selectedItem);
countryList.addEventListener("change",listenerObject);
This will give me the selected item's value which I can chuck
in a variable and send off to my form...
Well that is usually good enough but now I want to have a
Label AND a Value so that when the user does the drop down they see
the Label but I am actually sending the Value. I am messing around
with the Flash Help code and I kind of see how this is working yet
I can not get at the data I need which is the Value not the Label.
my_cb.dataProvider = [{name:"Gary", gender:"male"},
{name:"Susan", gender:"female"}];
my_cb.labelField = "name";
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.change = function(evtObj:Object) {
// code placed here executes
// when the event is triggered
trace("Selected Item: "+my_cb.selectedItem);
my_cb.addEventListener("change",listenerObject);
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Did you put the code I supplied in the event handler?
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.change = function(evtObj:Object) {
// code placed here executes
// when the event is triggered
trace("Selected Item Data: "+my_cb.selectedItem.data); //Put
code here

Combo box component reset

once an item is selected. the component is still set on that
option so if I choose that option again it doesn't do anything.
How do I reset it?

Help with Radio Buttons & Combo Box for Flash Form that sends email

I'm having a bit of a hard time with a Flash form that I'm working on.
I've got the basic text fields working fine, but I'm not sure how to retrieve the values from the Radio Button and Menu List components.
The PHP script pulls the values from the text fields with:
$contact_name = $_POST['name'];
$contact_email = $_POST['email'];
$contact_subject = $_POST['subject'];
but using
$radioGroup = $_POST['radioGroup'];
doesn't retrieve the selected radio button value.
The radio buttons have a groupName of "radioGroup". The combo box component doesn't even show up in the HTML version, but does in the .swf.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction to pull these values from these components and get them passed to the PHP form? The native .FLA and the php file are here for reference:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/21984/flashform.zip
My solution needs to be ActionScript 2.
Thanks!

again, you assign a variable. the selected radiobutton's data and/or label isn't going to magically be sent to the php file.
for example, if you have sendLV and receiveLV loadvars instances, you can use:
sendLV.rbData=yourradiogroup.selection.data;
sendLV.yourothervariables=yourothervariables;
sendLV.sendAndLoad("yourphp.php",receiveLV,"POST");

Increasing row capacity of any excelcius component (Filter ,Combo Box)

Hi
Even though I have increased the capacity of Dashboard rows capacity from 512 to 2000.
But my filter component or combo box component source data is mapped to more than 512 rows in the spreadsheet,while previewing it still shows data of 512 rows.
Is there any way to increase component capability?
I know the performance will be bad but still atleast it should capture the whole source data records and

It could be two reasons
First Reason: it could be due to the limit of no of rows in excel .Please check the preferences option in Xcelsius . By default it will be set as 512 rows of data increase that to required rows.
   Second Reason: if you are using live office in Xcelsius.By default it will fetch 512 rows of data.To increase limit we have to do some server side settings.Please refer to the following SAP Note which gives the solution to this problem.
SAP Note:1307538
or go through the following steps:
These changes have to be made on the server side
1.     Create a backup of dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar from serveru2019s InstallDrive:\program files\business objects\Tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\lib for future reference.
2.     Copy dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar from serveru2019s InstallDrive:\program files\business objects\Tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\lib to your computer.
3.     Rename the file just copied to dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar.zip (add.zip to end of filename)
4.     Create folder in root of InstallDrive: named META-INF (case sensitive), in InstallDrive:\META-INF named BusinessObjects (case sensitive) and in InstallDrive:\META-INF\BusinessObjects named DSWS (case sensitive)
5.     Using WinZip or WinRAR, unzip the file named liveoffice_config.properties from the dsws-liveoffice-ws.jar.zip file copied from the server. Place this file in InstallDrive:\META-INF\BusinessObjects\DSWS.
6.     Edit the liveoffice_config.properties file and find the following section:
#max number of range rows and range columns to return
maxRowCount=512
maxColumnCount=512
7.     Edit the maxRowCount entry to the value youu2019d like to use
8.     Save the file as liveoffice_config.properties (same filename)
9.     Using winRAR or WinZip add the new liveoffice_config.properties file back to dsws-liveoffice-ws.jar.zip, making sure to use the "use absolute path" option.
10.     Stop Apache Tomcat service on BO server
11.     Copy dsws-liveoffice-ws.jar.zip to serveru2019s InstallDrive:\program files\business objects\Tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\lib.
12.     Rename dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar in serveru2019s InstallDrive:\program files\business objects\Tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\lib directory to dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar.old.
13.     Rename dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar.zip in serveru2019s c:\program files\business objects\Tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\lib directory to dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar
14.      Empty the Tomcat cache by deleting the content of the folder <<C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\work>>
15.     Restart Apache Tomcat on server
This should increase the number of rows fetched by LiveOffice, however it may happen that changing the number of rows in the liveoffice_config.properties many times may result in liveoffice picking the data from the cache. Hence deleting the cache (C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\work) is necessary. Incase deleting the cache also doesn't work, we may have to redeploy the dswsbobje folder.
To redeploy, follow the steps given below:
1.     Go to C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps and keep a backup of the dswsbobje folder.
2.     Now delete this folder and restart Tomcat.
3.     Restarting Tomcat will recreate the dswsbobje folder but will again default the number of rows fetched by LiveOffice to 512.
4.     We will again have to follow the steps mentioned in the start to increase the number of rows from 512 to the desired value.
5.     Restart Tomcat again for the changes to take place.
Note: Increasing the number to large values might cause inconsistency in the behavior or instability.

Combo-box format static

I tryed posting this question before with no success, so I
thought I would
re-explain.
i am using a combo box component (using flash mx 2004 pro)
and have been
able to customize the fonts, colour, etc. of the list once
the user clicks
on the combo box, but can not figure out how to make the
initial combox
box text use the embedded font. Any suggestions?
You can see the combo box in question at :
63.134.206.80/FRAM-email.html
thank you
Tim

Thanks, that worked great! one more quick question, is there
a way to
actionscript the component so that the comboc box doesn't
have rounded
corners when it's not selected?

Combo Box doesn't persist data insertion settings

Hi,
I'm simply trying to setup a combo box that places the selected label into a destination table cell. I've tried about every combination possible to simply add a data insertion series. Please note, I AM clicking the plus button to add it to the list shown to the left of the settings. Unfortunately, everytime I have the series added and I click away from the selected combo box it loses the settings I just provided.
Has anybody else had these frustrating issues with the combo box component?
Thank you.

Greg,
The combo box component can be a bit fiddly at times. It would help if you let me know which version of Xcelsius you are using.
In any case if you are simply trying to insert the label to a destination you dont need to bother with the series at all. Try it in this order:
1) Drag a combo box component
2) In combo box properties pane and click on the range select button beside Labels
3) Select the range in your excel sheet that has the labels and click OK
4) Go back to the properties pane and choose Insertion Type: Label
5) Click the range select button beside Destination and select a cell
6) To test it drag a Text -> Label compoent in and point it to the destination cell you selected in step 5.
7) Preview to see if all is in order
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers,
Ryan

Locating on a location on GMap using combo box using SDK

Hi All,
I have a requirement to locate a city on google map using combo box. I want name of cities to appear in combo box and on selecting a city, map should be able to locate that city. This combo box will be visible on map itself. Combo box can be a component of either Xcelsius or Flex Builder.
I think combo box dragged from Xcelsius component panel not able to communicate with google map which is embedded in form of swf through manage and packager.
So, I tried with Flex Builder combo box component, but not able to done it. I am not getting the flow how to communicate between combo box and google map.
I can locate a particular city giving a latitude and longitude through propertysheet.
Please, if anyone could help me out asap.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Monammed,
The said functionality should work. Please check your logic one more time. Also, try using some spreadsheet components mapped to the cells in question and understand how the data is flowing during run-time. This will help you test things. Delete spreadsheets when you are done with identifying the issue.
Lets check the combo box mapping one more time : Map the source of the combo to the entire range; labels in the combo box ONLY to the country column in the source range(typically this may be the left most column in the range); selected item should be mapped to the cell that has the destination for the icon and the type for default selection may be dynamic. Well, if there is any hard-coding of values involved anywhere, do check the spellings and other trivial things.
Do let me know if this was helpful and if you need any more help.
Thanks,
Prasanna

Combo box bug

When I make a selection in my combo box component the opened
selection box closes however the border of the selection box
remains visible.
How can I resolve this?

After troubleshooting I noticed that this only happens when I
have deselected the "export in first frame" checkbox in the
combobox linkage identifier. (had to uncheck this box to set up my
preloader)
It would be fantastic if someone could tell me whats going on

Flash ph mysql combo box

hey. need some help please. ive managed to get info from a
mysql database into flash in a combo box. i have a text field and i
want it to load in the corresponding data when a new title is
selected in the combo box.
any body help please?
Matt

You use the
ComboBox.change
event to respond to the choice. There is a good example at the
link in the last sentence.
As far as what you do in the change handler depends on your
data:
1. You can download all that data when you download the items
for the combo box. You can store the values related to the item in
the combobox in the data parameter. See
ComboBox.additem.
For example: comboBoxInstance.addItem({label:label[, data:data]}).
Then using
ComboBox.selectedItem
you can get the data and populate other items in the change event
handler.
2. You only have key values stored as data in the combobox
item. Then in the change handler you go to the server and fetch the
data selected and then populate the other objects.
The first way is preferable if the amount of data is
reasonable because it requires downloading all the needed data for
all the items all at one time. The second way is necessary if the
data is excessive to be downloaded all at once.

Tab Component Dynamic Visibility to Combo Boxes

I am using a Tab component. I have 3 tabs on my dashboard. I have 2 Combo boxes that I am using to filter rows of data on 3 Excel sheets. Both Combo boxes are not used on all the tabs. How can I pass example: User clicks on Tab 1 and use dynamic visibility for Combo Box 1 and Combo Box 2 are visible. If the user clicks on Tab 2 I want only Combo Box 1 to be visible.

Hi Joe,
This can be achieved in Dynamic visibility.
On click on Tab,just map to some target(say value "1") and then For Combo box,set target cell mapped for tab to 1,which means when the target cell gets "1",show the Combo box.
If you are not clear then you can refer the following URL,which will give you more informations about this.
