Help with Flex, Blaze and Cairngorm

I using Blaze, Flex3 and Cairngorm, I have a simple
application at the moment, in which I dispatch a Cairngorm event,
it gets picked up the Command is executed and the Delegate can send
data to the RemoteObject. I can see in the output that Blaze is
doing what it is supposed to do and returning what it is supposed
to return, but the data returned never makes it to the IResponder
result function. What am I doing wrong? Can post code if
needed.

BlazeDS Console is where I am seeing the output. I don't see
anywhere to attach code so I will put some here, is there any
particular code you would like to see.

  • Need help with Flex, BlazeDS and Spring

    I have a configured Flex-Blaze-Spring application. I can call
    a remote method on a Spring bean and pipe its results, (list of
    pojos), to a DataGrid and the grid displays the data. The remote
    object is defined with a <mx:> tag, defining a handler
    function that pipes the result as ArrayCollection to the DataGrid's
    data provider. I now want to perform another call to the remote
    Spring bean, but this time define the remote object in
    ActionScript, and pipe the results to a ArrayCollection variable
    that I can then iterator thru and pick off values from attributes
    of the objects in the ArrayCollection. I can't set access, my
    collection seems to be empty. Here is some code:
    public var gameRO:RemoteObject;
    public var weeksGameList:ArrayCollection;
    public function makePickGrid():void {
    pickPanel.removeAllChildren();
    var pickGrid:Grid = new Grid();
    var gRow:GridRow = new GridRow();
    var gItem:GridItem = new GridItem();
    var cb:CheckBox;
    gameRO = new RemoteObject();
    gameRO.destination = "gameService";
    gameRO.getWeeksGames.addEventListener( ResultEvent.RESULT,
    getWeeksGamesResultHandler );
    gameRO.addEventListener( FaultEvent.FAULT, handleFault );
    gameRO.getWeeksGames( curWeek.selectedItem );
    for each (var game:Object in weeksGameList) {
    cb = new CheckBox();
    cb.label = game.awayTeam;
    gItem.addChild( cb );
    gRow.addChild( gItem );
    pickGrid.addChild( gRow );
    pickPanel.addChild( pickGrid );
    public function
    getWeeksGamesResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
    weeksGameList = event.result as ArrayCollection;
    What am I missing here? Thanks for any help!!
    mik

    Hello
    This is a bit of a wild guess, but looking at the code, is it possibly related to the scope of cb?
    Why not declare it inside the for loop, rather than outside it?

  • Help with Flex - PHP - and SQL Server

    Good afternoon,
    I have been working on this problem for over a week and am at
    my wit's end. I am trying to create an application that will allow
    me and my fellow statisticians to share code easily. The
    technologies at my disposal are Flex, PHP and SQL Server 2005. The
    web server is IIS. I have downloaded and installed the PHP driver
    for SQL Server 2005 and am able to query the database and generate
    XML. The problem I'm having is that I can't return the XML from PHP
    to Flex.
    If I execute the php code in a web browser and view the
    source, it looks like XML. I can then cut and paste the exact same
    code into an xml file and read it in from the harddisk and the tree
    will populate. Can anyone please help me? I don't have flex builder
    so I it's hard for me to use trace and view what is going on.
    Thanks in advance,
    Eric Graves

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried every permutation of
    e4x path notation I can think of. You're right, you're not supposed
    to need the root level as that's supposed to be returned in the
    result. So you should only need to reference first level after the
    root. When I do this and launch the .SWF I get a completely empty
    tree.
    I think the problem lies somewhere in my understanding of
    what format Flex needs returned from a HTTPRequest. It's my
    understanding that it just needs to be XML. As far as I can tell,
    that's what I'm sending it. On the PHP side, does it have to be
    cast a special way? Everything I've seen just shows people using
    ECHO to output the XML data.

  • Help with Flex preloading and transitions please

    I downloaded and installed Flex Builder 3, and I think I have
    my slideshow project about 75% finished. It's the last 25% that I
    can't figure out, regarding preloading and transitions. Can someone
    take a look at the code below and see if you can help me? I tried
    to write the code in such a way that you can debug it from any
    computer as it's calling an PHP/XML file and images that are on a
    server.
    Here's what's finished...
    1. PHP file looks at image files on server and builds XML
    file.
    2. Flex app calls PHP file and traverses the XML in the
    response.
    3. Flex app figures out how many "slides" there and displays
    the slides one at a time, each slide with 3 images, with a 5 second
    delay between "slides."
    Here's what's not finished...
    1. I would like a fade-out to white at the end of each slide,
    and a fade-in from white at the beginning of each slide.
    2. I need each slide to stay put intil the next slide is
    pre-loaded. That is, during the 5 seconds that a slide is
    displayed, the next 3 images need to be preloaded, and then the
    slide should not progress to the next until slide is completely
    loaded.
    3. The very first slide should not appear until it is
    completely loaded, and when it does appear, it should fade in from
    white.
    How do I do this?!? Please help! Here's the code...

    What you've done is beyond my capabilities, as of now. But, I
    ran into the same problem with the fading in and out of the photos.
    Here's my solution.
    I defined my fade with only the id and the duration
    parameters. No 'from' and 'to'.
    Then I used the 'showEffect' and 'hideEffect' parameters.
    showEffect="{bannerFade}" hideEffect="{bannerFade}"
    Works like a charm for my project.
    I hope this helps.

  • Help with Flex based popup windows and data population.

    Hello, I need a bit of help with Flex popups. I have a flex
    application that uses a popup window when you click on a button and
    displays information about the image above the button the user
    clicked. I have about 4 images and I need to be able to display
    information about each of them through the popup window when users
    click on the buttons below the image.
    At this time, I am trying to do this from somewhat of a
    "static" point of view because I do not believe my hosting company
    supports Flex Data services. You will find my code below.
    First File.

    What I want to do is either be able to create a popup file
    for each button and photo, or find a way to pass a name like a
    button ID that corresponds to a XML data structure and then
    provides the appropriate data for the photo. I have tried altering
    the first page of code with the "public" declaration to allow for a
    second popup file for each button and image, but the IDE won't
    allow me to do such because it creates errors stating I can only
    have one public declaration of the kind and function above per
    application. Help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I have an idea of what I want to do. I am just having
    difficulty articulating how to go about such. I know I want to find
    a way so that if a user clicks on button 1, button 1 will send some
    kind of variable. For example, a user clicks Btn1 under a picture.
    Btn1 sends some kind of variable or binding to a data structure
    which returns the picture's description, price, etc. and calls the
    popup to display that data in a form like manner. Then the user
    click Btn2 which does the same thing. The only purpose of the popup
    is to display the data.
    Do I create a data structure with a related name to say a
    button name so when the btn is clicked, the a variable title btn1
    will prepend itself to the data structure like
    {btn1.imagename}
    {btn1.price}
    {btn1.description}.
    I want each btn to call a different set of data about each
    picture because right now, the code I have is allowing me multiple
    buttons, but is just displays the popup. Is there a way to create a
    separate popup window for each button? Thats seems as though it
    would be easier. Thank you for your help.

  • WORKING example of BlazeDS with Flex 3 and FlexBuilder

    Can someone point me to an actual working example with BlazeDS used with Flex 3 and Eclipse?
    The examples on livedocs are broken or imcomplete. Others work to varying degrees but fail at some point.
    What I'd like to see is the following:
    1. How to create a project using
         a. Flex 3.0
         b. BlazeDS
         c. Eclipse - FULL project creation and deployment instructions.
         d. An example where the project is NOT created within the BlazeDS webapp that comes with the BlazeDS/Tomcat combo.
         e. An example where the ENTIRE project can be compiled and deployed to Tomcat in one shot.
         f.  An example where a DB can he altered using standard CRUD methods with the display displaying updated records without and event being used to
             refresh the view of the records.
    This shouldn't be too much to ask if Flex is to be expected to be taken seriously in data-driven applications. I've looked all over the web for weeks for something likethis and have come up with nothing. I don't need Spring or Hibernate at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm working on a proof-of-concept at this time and the pressure is mounting to come up with something.
    Thanks!

  • Help with Flex Ant build.xml error

    So I've started on a new project and I'm new to Flex. A lot of learning curve here. Anyway, I'm trying to deploy a project that uses flex and is built with Ant. We've moving up from a version of Flex 2 to Flex 3. The build file works fine in the Flex 2 app but for some reason does not seem to be working with Flex 3. I'm hoping someone can give me some insight on what might be wrong or where to start.
    The error is Command not found: compc
    The part of the build file it has a problem with is:
    <compc include-classes="${classes}"
         ouput="${flex.dist.dir}/${flex.app.name}.swc"
         keep-generated-actionscript="false"
         headless-server="${headless.server}"
         incremental="true">
    <load_config filename="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/flex-config.xml" />
    <source-path path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks" />
    <source-path path-element="${flex.app.root}" />
    <compiler.library-path dir="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks" append="true">
         <include name="libs" />
         <include name="../bundles/{local}" />
    </compiler.library-path>
    <compiler.library-path dir="${flex.app.root}" appent="true">
         <include name="libs" />
    </compiler.library-path>
    </compc>
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Sorry, I meant to address that. Yes, since we've moved up to the Flex 3 sdk, we are pointing at a new directory. The old directory was flex_sdk and the new directory is flex_sdk_340.
    FLEX_HOME is being set in the build.properties file for local building and then overidden in the build.xml file with this code:
    <target name="build">
         <available property="FLEX_HOME" value="/apps/flex_sdk_340" file="/apps/flex_sdk_340" />
         <echo>FLEX_HOME = ${FLEX_HOME}</echo>
         <antcall target="compile" />
    </target>
    I did notice a warning about not using the available property, so I removed it and just changed what FLEX_HOME was set to in the build.properties file to the server directory. Would mess up local building but regardless it didn't matter because it had no effect on the error being generated. I alos looked a little into the file property of the available tag trying to figure out if that was somehow an issue but I wasn't able to come to any conclusion.
    Before the program errors out, it does displayt he echo statement and the value of FLEX_HOME appears to be correct in that it does show /apps/flex_sdk_340.
    Thank you so much for your continued help. This is truly frustrating because nothing but a directory name has really changed and yet it stopped working. I can't find any information anywhere on what could be wrong and this is really my last resort.

  • What am I doing wrong with Flex 3 and BlazeDS

    +I read on itunes help that I could import CDs to my library without internet connection, and did so to about 10 old ones and now cannot figure out how to get their track/artist names.+
    You get the track/artist names off the back of the CD and type them in yourself.
    You have to have internet for itunes to get them automatically from the gracenotes/CDDB online database.
    Importing one-by-one and editing the info would have been a better scheme. Now you've got a hot mess!
    Unless you know the songs well enough to recognize them when they're played, I don't see how you're going to get it all straight without importing them again.

  • Need help with Boot Camp and Win 7

  • Need help with Airport Express and so on.

    Ok so my main problem before getting into what I need help with here is that our MacBooks and now my iPhone 6 plus isn't staying online. Keep getting booted off and then I either have to select the network again or it will eventually go back on. If anyone has a solution or so please feel free to answer that as well. I'm running on Roadrunner with a Netgear 600 wireless router and a motorola modem. Both of which I'll leave the link to below for a better look.
    My Main Question: So I'm looking at a new wireless router mainly and possibly a new modem. I know Apple products are trustworthy but how good is the Airport Express and other Airport products. Also what is the Maximum speed and Maximum data speed for the cheapest express station and if anyone knows the speeds of the other devices it would be greatly appreciated.

    DSL Router to Netgear 5-port Switch and I used the switch to connect to Airport Extreme, TV, Blue-Ray DVD player and DirecTV Receiver.
    The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is a router so it will do what you need.
    You need to reconfigure your setup. Connect the WAN port of the AEBS to the DSL router. Then connect the Netgear switch to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS. The AEBS will properly share the connection.

A long time ago I just downloaded iTunes. I think one of my tech friends already had put the program onto my PC so I did not even have to download it. Anyways I put my life's collection of mp3's onto iTunes and then syncs it with my iPod and it worked great. Here is my problem. I just recently bought a MONSTER PC. I have lovingly named it " ED209 " I downloaded iTunes for it and I have the most up to date version.8.1.1 is the most current version correct? Ok well here is my problem. What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library. I DO NOT want to import anything from the library or playlist or whatever you call it ONTO the iPod because there is nothing in the library. Now this is were its gets weird and possibly silly. A person I was chatting with on Facebook sort of made fun of me because she was like " Dude! Just push " Sync " But the reason I am paranoid is because THIS is the message I get....
    " The iPod " Aaron's iPod " is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this iTunes library? "
    HOLY COW!! That girl on Facebook was making fun of me but READ THAT. That exactly says ERASE the "iPod" and Sync with THIS library " It does not say put what is ON the iPod into THIS Library. It says it the other way around. Clear as day it says it will ERASE the " Ipod " it does not say " Fill the library with whats on your iPod "
    Do I all of a sudden not understand English or something???? I know how to freaking read and from what it says is sounds a 100 percent like " we will ERASE youe iPod and put everything from this playist or library onto your iPiod" But there is NOTHING in my library? Am I mentally challenged or what?
    I hope someone can help me here and I have another request. Could someone just tell me all the cool things I can do with iTunes and my iPod? I am trying to read the help files and the FAQ and whatever else Apple provides you with but it has SO MUCH crap that looks usless. I find myself reading a whole paragraph about some simple little section of s section of a section of a feature! Know what I mean. Someone give me the long and short of the neat things I can do with this stuff. I have windows Vista with a wicked computer that has like 6 gigs of ram and m iPod is a 80 GB Classic
    help !!

    *What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library.*
    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Can you please help with importing CDs and audio books?

    I tried to search for this topic, but had no luck.
    Have been happy with IPOD until today. On trying to import a new audio book to iTunes and then updating IPOD to install on it, I can see the title in both the iTunes Library and menu of IPOD. However, instead of seeing a normal 57:32 (or similar stop time), I am seeing 789:57:13.152. When I try to play it through iTunes or IPOD, it skips it as if it wasn't there and plays something else. I checked out importing a music CD, and find the same problem.
    Appreciate any advice you can give.

    let's first see if you can get the CDs to import normally if you switch off "error correction" in the iTunes Advanced-Importing preferences subtab.
    but if no joy there, try checking through the other suggestions from the following document:
    You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
    ... and these resources might be helpful with that:
