Mxml vs as components

@see code attached
if you run application and will click LMP, you'll see
blinking. Comment setting dimensons and blinking will disappear.
Therefore, have a look at components. One is as component and
the second one is mxml. remove comments for adding to display list
for the second mxml components. It's blinking again.
IMHO, the difference is translating mxml to as. But notice
about scrollers.
Any ideas? :) May be workaround ?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
I could not find code attached. MXML is not converted at runtime, it is converted to ActionScript and is compiled to SWF when you compile your project. Sharing the code to reproduce this behavior will help in solving the problem.
Hope this helps.

Passing VARs between MXML Application and MXML components!

Hi,
I'm trying to pass a variable between the MXML Application and the MXML Component with ValueObjects.
But when i call the variable on the MXML Component it is null!
ValueObject Class Code:
package valueObjects
    [Bindable]
    public class MyGlobalVars
        public var NomeGaleria: String;
        public function MyGlobalVars()
MXML Application Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:comp="components.*" layout="vertical" height="100%" width="100%" >
<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        import valueObjects.MyGlobalVars;

        public var nomeGaleria:MyGlobalVars;
        private function AbreGaleria():void{
              nomeGaleria=new MyGlobalVars();
            nomeGaleria.NomeGaleria = "Moda";
            PopUpManager.addPopUp(new galeriaImagens(),this,true);
    ]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Panel height="673" width="839" verticalAlign="middle" borderStyle="none" layout="absolute">

MXML Component Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    showCloseButton="true" creationComplete="CenterMe()" backgroundColor="#000000" xmlns:components="components.*" >
<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        import valueObjects.MyGlobalVars;
        import mx.controls.Alert;
        [Bindable]
        public var strGaleria:String;
        private function CenterMe(): void{
             Alert.show(strGaleria);
    ]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:TitleWindow>
On the MXML component the value of strGaleria is null! It would not have to be: Moda??

You may need to change your code as follows:
<comp:galeriaImagens id="GaleriaImagens" x="0" y="5" strGaleria="{nomeGaleria.NomeGaleria}"/>
Previously you had set strGaleria to the value of the object, not the string within the object.
But I think you will still have a problem because function AbreGaleria will not be called until the user clicks the link button, and only then will NomeGaleria have a value, so I would set a default value as follows, otherwise at app launch it will be null:
public var NomeGaleria: String = "";
or if that does not work
public var NomeGaleria: String = " ";
Another possible problem is that you are calling this code at the component creationComplete, but the LinkButton has not been clicked yet, so the value object string value has not been set, so the alert will not display anything:
private function CenterMe():void{
    Alert.show(strGaleria);
I think you need to reorganize some things here.

Architecting an Application With MXML Components

I have an application that has gotten lengthy and I want to
simplify it by architecting the Main Application with custom MXML
Components. The application as it is currently architected works
perfectly.
Currently, the application consists of "Canvas" containers
along Top and Left Side holding Navigation Buttons. The main
(changing) sections of the application will consist of a
"ViewStack" container holding a number of "Canvas" containers
stacked on top of one another. The navigation buttons along the top
and left side, when clicked, display in turn the content of each of
the several stacked "Canvas" containers. Because of the number of
stacked "Canvas" containers within the "ViewStack" and the content
of each, the main Application source code has become very long and
unwieldy, thus the need to use custom components for each of the
"Canvas" containers in the "Stack" and referencing them in the main
Application page.
I have tried several times to get this to work and I need to
clarify a couple of things.
1) After setting up custom components for the several
"Canvas" containers that are now in the "ViewStack" container, do I
first need to set up a custom component for the "ViewStack"
container with its own name space?
2) If the answer to 1) above is Yes then do I then reference
each of the custom components for the "Canvas" container with their
own name space designation within the "ViewStack" reference within
the main Application?
In the event I am completely off base then I would appreciate
any suggestions. If you wish I would be happy to email you the
current application page.
Thanks,
Joe

How Do I see components

I have a series of components that I assign various values (text) to. We added a TabNavigator to reduce the vertical space that was being taken and now the components within it are null and won't accept the values that they did before the TabNavigator was added.
I"m assuming that with the TabNavigator comes a different visibility. Within the mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:DHSComp="components.*"
initialize="setInitAccessible();"
applicationComplete="setInitLanguage();"
backgroundColor="#dedacf"
layout="absolute"
borderStyle="inset"
borderThickness="2"
paddingLeft="10"
paddingRight="10"
paddingTop="10"
paddingBottom="10"
height="100%"
width="100%"
verticalScrollPolicy="on">
I don't know of an event that is after "applicationComplete". The call is to:
<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        public function setInitLanguage():void {
            resetEnglish();
        public function setInitAccessible():void {
            getXMLURL();
            accessibleSet();
    ]]>
</mx:Script>
Within the reset:
public function resetEnglish():void {
    // all "get" are in DHSclasses/FSLangEnglish.as
    pageSNAPText = English.getPageSNAPText();
... // these work OK
    if (currentState != "Result") {
        resetEnglishBase();                        // scripts/FSLangEngBase.as
The problem comes up in the next call. The prior one and the next one are both scripts included in the mxml file:
public function resetEnglishBase():void {
    // reset inputform (base) to English
    // all "get" are in DHSclasses/FSLangEnglish.as
    householdInformationPanel.title = English.getHouseholdInformationLabel();
    householdInformationPanel.toolTip = English.getHouseholdInformationTT();
The "householdInformationPanel.title" shows as a null when the TabNavigator is included and not when it is not.
The question becomes how do I get the title to work when a TabNavigator is included?

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. That worked - thanks!

How to pass a value from 1 mxml componet to the another mxml componet

how can i achive this..
want to set the departmentID in 3rd component to the
ddlDepartmentName.selectedValue in 2nd component. when i change the

Change a state in main.mxml from a script in another mxml

Hi,
i'm having some trouble with my application, let's say i have the main application file called MAIN.MXML
in wich i have set different States, and have different forms.
now i have a form called loginForm which contains the textInput item for Login and Password, i also have a link Need to Register
which onClick will change the state to show in the same panel a different form registerForm (with the relevant textInput items)
now the MAIN.MXML includes a custom component called <comp: NetworkManager /> which includes all the logic scripts and MXML
tags to create and manage an HTTPService request to a PHP Server.
when the user click on the Login button, this will call a function included in the main.as script (imported in MAIN.MXML) which
will call a function in the script within NetworkManager.MXML passing all the form data.
in NetworkManager.MXML the script will create an XML message, will send to the PHP Server and wait the response... if this comes
true the user is authenticated, otherwise is not.
so far so good, i get the message sent, the correct response back. Now i want to hide the form in MAIN.MXML and put something like
Welcome firstName lastName!! instead. But i don't know how to do it. If i try to access the states in MAIN.MXML from the NetworkManager.MXML
i'll get all sort of errors which i don't have it here with me.
I know this sounds like a newbie question, and it really is ... any taker?
your help is much appreciated.
thanks

who is the caller of loginForm then? i've tried with Application.application.loginForm but i do get the same error though.
loginForm is contained in a Canvas item, is it the caller? or who else?

Breaking up an App into components

I have an App in deployment which displays a dashboard
program divided into several tabs, one tab contains a treemap,
another has four charts, another has one big chart, another has
five dials, etc. etc. currently this is all coded into one big App.
What I want to do now is break this up into either MXML or AS
components so that it will be more managable and more modular. I
want to make a 'shell' master program with the tabs, and then
import the other pieces as modules.
I have managed to separate out one of my most complex pieces
from my original main App, one of the Treemaps, and I want to now
import that as a component of my "shell". Can someone reccomend a
technote or a web page I could look at to learn how to do this? I'd
also like to learn some things like how do you 'talk to' variables
within a particular component that you import in, or is that even
possible?
M.

Is this even the best practice? Should you break an app into
components? Or is it better to just leave it all in one App?
I found this example of using code behind to extent the
ActionScript class, is this the best way to aproach breaking an app
up?

Call Function From MXML Component

I am using MXML to create components that I use within my
application. I have one MXML file that contains a list with a
custom itemRenderer that is in another MXML file. I have an
actionscript file with a function that I want to call from the
itemRenderer.
If I call the function from my main application, everything
works fine. If I try to call it from one of the other MXML files, I
get a 1180 Call to a possibly undefined function error.
Is there a special way that I need to use to call the
function?
The main MXML file is in the root directory, the actionscript
file is in a folder called functions, and the MXML files are in a
folder called components.
Thank you for any help.

I was able to figure out my problem. It was just a simple
typo of including the wrong file in a Script tag. However, this
caused more issues and I ended up having to rewrite a large section
of code to get everything working.
Thank you for your help.

Breaking up large Apps into components

Hello, I have a large application that I need to break up
into components. I have been trying to find information on how to
do this, however, to no real avail. My application will have
components that have states so that when the user selects from the
menu bar the component state will show. Does anyone know how I can
get my XMLlist view state to show the external component state when
selected?
Thanks

Creating Flex applications without MXML but with AS3

To me it seems logical that if I want to build an application
I should use AS3 to create reusable components, classes, the
layout, etc.
.. however, searching around on the web I exclusively find
Flex tutorials and examples using MXML. This is also true for the
books (e.g. Adobe Flex 2 - Training from the source") -- why is
this?
Is it wrong of me to think it'd be best to create everything
in AS3? Do anyone have links to tutorials etc. where they use AS3
to build Flex applications?

Although I have not seen tutorials about this I did create a
test app using the following approach:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:lib="components"
width="100%"
height="100%"
creationComplete="initGrid()"
scroll="false"

</mx:DataGrid>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Canvas>
Even the data grid does not need to be "declared" in MXML, it
was just a faster way to do it for me - you could do
canvas_id.addChild(...) any element/item that you create in
AS3.... or in my case i was doing _box.addChild(newGrid)

How do I pass a value from a selected datagrid row to a popup

I am working on a project tracking application in flex and need to pass the value of one of the rows from the datagrid to a popup. We have a screen with 2 data grids. The first datagrid lists the projects, their start, and end date and the project owner. The datagrid below the first datagrid lists the tasks for that specific project listed in the datagrid above. When you click on the project name above, the datagrid below is populated with the tasks. Within the tasks datagrid are start and end date boxes.
What I need to do is be able to pass the project ID from the original datagrid into a popup that is called when a user changes the date of a project task. The popup is designed to submit a reason for why the user is changing the date on the task. In short, when they submit a reason, I need the project id passed from the datagrid into the popup so when submit is clicked, the proper row in the DB table is update via a CFC. Thank you.

I tried that, but when I try to build the project, I get the error that there is a call to an undefined value. Here is code:

Help with Remoting in Flex 2 PLEASE!!!!

I can't figure out how to send data to a cfc from flex, using
my remoteObject.
I can send simple data, 1 or 2 params, but I need to send
data that is in a Model Object.
So here is my function that calls the remote edit function,
and tried to send the data that is sent in an event to the
function.
private function regUpdate(event:RegEdit):void{
var edit:Object = event.itemReturn;
//Alert.show(edit.level);
regService.editReg(edit);
When I call the editReg with the edit Object as a param, I
get this Error
faultCode:Server.Processing
faultSrting:'java.lang.StackOverflowError
faultDetail:'null'
In Flash remoting, I could just send an Object and then
access it in the cfc using Arguments.param
But I guess this is not the case for Flex.
But it doesn't seem to matter what is in my cfc, if I try and
pass that Object, it errors.
What am I missing? I have been searching for an answer to
this all morning, with no results.
Where are all the good Flex examples....
Please help
My project is due Monday!!!

hmm, I guess I know less then I thought.
When you say ActionScript class that corresponds to the CFC,
what are you referencing?
I am calling the service from an mxml file. The data is
created in a sub componet of that mxml file, and passed to the
parent in an event.
Should I be storing my data in an .as file?
here is the code for the mxml file

Flash Builder & StageVideo

Hello everyone,
A major concern arises for me, and after several days of testing I can not find a solution.
I am currently developing a mobile application on Android to play a video locally.
For this I use the Adobe SimpleStageVideo class available on the website : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/stage_video.html
At the launch all goes well , however when I switch to another application in full reading and then I go back to my video .
That passes over other elements of my interface (ie the navigation menu ) and especially it grows.
I tried to do a resize an event type activate ( to intercept the return on applicaiton )
I also tried to remove the container, and then reinject the video in my interface ( although this is costly in resources ... ) .
It did not work .
I think during my event "activate " the UIComponent has not yet been fully rebuilt, and thereby resize does not work on a good screen size used (since it does not blow conscidère menus ) .
To test my theory , I tested passing in debug mode. By running my code slower, the video goes back to the right size ...
So I tried to put timers, but again it was a futile attempt .
How is it possible when returning to my application that my video remains the right size , and not overlooking the rest of the menus?
Here follows the code in question :

Hi,
Don't know if this is an entirely valid answer as I write pure AS3 (no Flex).
I remember having problems about a year ago with the SimpleStageVideo when doing a video app that would work for both Apple and Android.
I couldn't get it to work as I wanted so I skipped SimpleStageVideo alltogether.
I ended up using this script to shift between StageVideo (iOS) and the usual videoPlayer (Android).
The stageVideo checks if a menu is open (on the left side) and draws the rect according to that.
The normal video gets it's size from the videoSprite which scales depending on the menu visibility.
Later when StageVideo became available for Android it still worked.
Hopefully it can help you get closer to a solution.
private function load_video():void{
    if ( stage.stageVideos.length >= 1 ) {
        stageVideo = stage.stageVideos[0];
        try {
            if(S.application.menu.toggleOpen == true){
                stageVideo.viewPort = new Rectangle(S.device.scaledVideo.x, S.device.scaledVideo.y, S.device.scaledVideo.width, S.device.scaledVideo.height);
            } else if(S.application.menu.toggleOpen == false){
                stageVideo.viewPort = new Rectangle(S.device.video.x, S.device.video.y, S.device.video.width, S.device.video.height);
        } catch(e:Error) {}
        stageVideo.addEventListener(StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE, renderState);
        stageVideo.attachNetStream(netStream);
    } else {
        try {
            video = new Video(S.device.video.width, S.device.video.height);
            video.smoothing = true
            video.name = "video"
            video.x = S.device.video.x
            video.y = S.device.video.y
            videoSprite.addChild(video);
            video.attachNetStream(netStream);
        } catch(e:Error) {}
    netStream.play(S.path.video + S.application.xmlObjectArray[currentSlideIndex].video);
    videoStarted = true

Mxml vs as components
