History management in Flex

I am trying to do some history management in a flex app but I am getting strange behaviour on my test server. I have a history enabled tab control and if I press back it returns to the previous tab but it does it like I clicked to navigate to it so the forward button does not work. This also means that the back button will effectively just switch between the current tab and the previous one no matter how many times you press it or what other tabs you clicked on before that.
The strange thing is it works fine in firefox (though for some reason history never works in chrome) and it works in IE when being run locally on the asp.net development server. The test server is running IIS.
When in chrome the history button doesn't actually do anything until you get to the point where the app was loaded, you then get send to the page before the app as expected.

Newbbie question: How do you know if you have the latest?
If not, can you update only those two files & how?
I'm working with Flex3 & experiencing same behaviour - FF fine for Browser Back/Next, Chrome Fails

Problem with history manager on internet explorer

Hello,
I'm using the flex's history manager to save a state of my
application. When I use firefox everything works almost fine, but
when I use internet explorer nothing works. I tried both 6.0 and
7.0.
Do anyone know why does this happen and how can I workaround
it?

Hi Konstantin,
Searching through our bugbase, I found this bug which sounds
like the issue you're having:
history management doesn't work when previewing a local file
in IE:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-443
This should work fine when using an http url. If not, can you
please log a bug?
thanks,
Sharon

State cache and History management

I am working on states management in Flex. Currently if I log
in to the application and do some search, this is basic
functionality of my application, results are shown in Datagrids.
Now if I click logout from the application (which is just a button
to close the main application window) and re-login into the
application it still shows the previous results. On re-logging into
the application I do not want to show previous data i.e., I want to
show a clear new state. I am not using any wrapper.
How can I solve this problem?

Hi there,
Maybe this can help you.

History Manager - FFox - Debug Player

Hi,
I'm getting a weird security exception. My setup is:
1 main application
2 load external module through the moduleloader
3 use a view state component in the main module to enable the
history
management.
I am getting:
Error #2044: Unhandled SecurityErrorEvent:. text=Error #2047:
Security
sandbox violation: LocalConnection.send: mydomain.com cannot
access
http://local.mydomain.com/home.swf.
Where home.swf is the main module.
This only happens in Firefox.
Does somebody ran accross that and got it to work?
Thanks,
JG

I will just reply to myself :-) I figured it out, Flex does
some weird
things. I suspected that some class was not included or
instanced at the
beginning of the application to handle the history manager.
The setup I had
was:
main app:
<mx:ModuleLoader url="home.swf" ready="progressBox.visible
= false"
id="home" left="0" right="0" bottom="0" top="0"/>
home module:
<mx:ViewStack id="views" horizontalCenter="0"
verticalCenter="0"
width="100%" height="100%"
historyManagementEnabled="true">
</mx:ViewStack>
That's when I was getting the bug. So, my quick fix is:
main app:
<mx:ViewStack height="100%" y="0" width="100%" x="0"
historyManagementEnabled="true">
<mx:ModuleLoader url="home.swf"
ready="progressBox.visible = false"
id="home" left="0" right="0" bottom="0" top="0"/>
</mx:ViewStack>
home module:
same as before
and voila :-)

HISTORY MANAGE CHECK BOX

HI MASTERS,
WHY WE UUSE HISTORY MANAGE CHECK BOX IN ASSET MASTER, AND IN ASSET CLASS,
I THINKING IT IS USED FOR UPLOADING THE ASSETS TO ASSET HISTORY SHEET IS IT. PLEASE GIVE REPLY THIS , POINTS WILL B ADDED.

Hi Gov
What do you mean by?
"I have to upload asset history from the date of its acquisition."
As far as I know there is no upload to be done. If you do not set this
indicator you will not have detail information for assets of that asset class (created when the indicator was set) in report RAHIST01 / 02.
You can test it in one of your systems.

Instaling addon facebook chat history manager on a refreshed 6.02 firefox installation sais that this addon has been disable by the administrator. how can i enable it?

after reinstaling the firefox browser i have the following information when attempt to install facebook chat history manager addon:
This addon has been disabled by the administrator (something like that).

If you lock a pref then it is impossible to change such a pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.type
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.%28protocol%29
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.%28protocol%29_port
You can compare a copy of prefs.js before and after having changed a setting to see which pref(s) to lock.

Use-network and history management

Hi everyone
I'm currently working on an application with Flex Builder 2
and as i was trying
to run it locally i noticed a strange behavior.
When i use the option -use-network=false my application works
nicely on my
computer except for my control bar : whenever i click on a
link in the linkbar the
history.htm page opens for no reason, and the back and
forward buttons of my
browser don't work anymore either.
It's not a atrocious dilemna but it tickles me though, so if
you have any idea
where that could come from please tell me.
Best regards.
Vianney Baron

I think we tried contacting that company from the UK but the pricing and monthly payments were really out on our budget. We've tried the Leopards Parental Controls server based where you need to setup OD and control the computer/accounts using WGM but it does not meet our needs for example we want a specific site be access on a specific time.
Is there like an software emulator of any hardware/network management device on (OS X) leopard?

PopUp Manager and Flex Forum PopUps

I wanted make sure I understood what someone on the Forum told me about the PopUpManager and TitleWindow.
My question was: "How are the PopUps that appear when you hover over a person's image/profile on the left side of this Adobe Forum's page done? Did you use Flex for this, or are they some type of Ajax thing? If Flex was used was it done with the PopUp Manager based on the TitleWindow. This is exactly the kind of PopUp I need, especially because it has a larger hit area than most PopUps which dissapear when the mouse exits the button or textarea acting as a button.
Thanks and Sorry for the long version.

Session management in Flex

I am using Flex as UI and Java as backend with Spring framework. In my application communication is happening because of BlazeDS using Remote Object.
Please explain how I can manage with session.

Flex apps retain state on the client. Why do you need a
session? Sessions were invented because html apps are stateless.
Flex apps are stateful. Use SharedObject across flex app sessions.

History Manager

Hi,
How could I enable back and next navigation from my own
button (for continers implementing IHistoryManagerClient)?
I saw there is a loadState method that gets the state, does
that meas i should manage the states?
Thanks

thanks,
The following code do what i want, but i thought that the
HistoryManager, or the container itself save the states (here i
used the states stack to push and pop the selecting order):
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
verticalGap="10">
<mx:Accordion id="ac" width="100%" height="50%"
change="ac.states.push(event.oldIndex)">
<mx:VBox label="View 1">
<mx:TextInput text="View 1"/>
</mx:VBox>
<mx:VBox label="View 2">
<mx:TextInput text="View 2"/>
</mx:VBox>
<mx:VBox label="View 3">
<mx:TextInput text="View 3"/>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Accordion>
<mx:Button id="backButton" label="Back"
click="ac.selectedIndex = ac.states.pop()"/>
</mx:Application>

History Management

Right now, our application is a main app that loads modules in as I need them, but I need to figure out how to register each module with the same HistoryManager.
The problem is that the URL is being appended whenever I call HistoryManager.save() rather than replacing the information.
For Instance:
Main App - creationComplete calls mx.managers.HistoryManager.register(this);
Each Module - creationComplete calls mx.managers.HistoryManager.register(this);
Each Module - creationComplete calls mx.managers.HistoryManager.save()
For each module, saveState():Object looks something like this:
var o:Object = new Object();
o.module = thisModulesName;
o.state = currentStateOfModule;
The URL will do something like this though:
#app=ca1a&21f8-module=Gallery&21f8-state=start&55b6-module=EmailGreeting&55b6-state=editor
I am under the impression that the saveState should actually register with the browser and replace the key,value pairs, if I am trying to overwrite them.
Any help would be great.
Could this be because it is a Singleton Enforced class and I need to do something else in the main app?
Thanks!

Any help, along with any information of the right way to implement this and the expected flow would be great!

History Manager throws error

Manage History Indicator in Asset Master

Hi,
Could any one please tell
what s the use of manage historically indicator
what would happen is i have not ticked on it.
Thanks
Moderator: Press F1 on the field

Hi,
Asset is managed historically
Set this indicator if you want the system to manage the asset with a history. Active history management has the following effects:
The asset is displayed in an asset chart.
The asset and the values/transactions belonging to it cannot be reorganized until the asset is deactivated.
