Persisting a geometric layout in Flex

Hi All,
I have an application where i have a few icons embedded on buttons. I drag and drop them onto a canvas and connect them by drawing lines between them. Once i do this, i want to save this configuration or geometrical layout to the database, so that, the next time i log in to the application i should be able to see the last saved layout. How do i do it?

Rootsounds,
I think you did not understand my question. Let me frame it properly. Suppose i create the layout the first time and save it to the database. Then when i log in to the application again i should be able to show the last saved layout. But the problem is, my application will load a plain canvas since it is what the application finds. I have to overwrite the canvas with the saved data in some way. How could i do that.
Let me put it like this: My application is a collection of mxml components. One of those components is the layout designing canvas. So the main app will look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:TabNavigator xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:view="com.tcs.infra.dashboard.view.*" creationComplete="init();"
>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
   import com.dashboard.model.ModelLocator;
   private function init():void
    if(!(ModelLocator.getInstance().isAdmin))
     this.removeChild(configCanvas);
]]>
</mx:Script>
<view:Home id="powerCanvas" label="Home" width="100%" height="100%" />
<view:About id="coolingCanvas" label="About" width="100%" height="100%" />
<view:Products label="Products" id="reportsTab" width="100%" height="100%" />
<view:Contact id="configCanvas" label="Contact" width="100%" height="100%"/>
<view:Layout id="pdnCanvas" label="Layout" width="100%" height="100%"/>
</mx:TabNavigator>
So the 'layout' canvas is where i have the structure to design the layout and save it. So when i re login to the app, it ll load the basic 'layout' structure rather than the stored one. So how do i override it?

How to choose Application layout in flex?

Hi Everyone ....!
I have confused to select the layout in flex 3.0.There are three type of layout having absolute,horizontal and vertical. Which one is best? and How to choose layout? and please Explain about layout???/...
Thanks in advance.........
Regards,
Selvendran.A

You mean if you want to have a user-resizeable application?
If so, all 3 layouts work.
If you can tell us what you want to build very briefly, we can help you pick a layout, however, as I said, this isn't super-important and you can change this as your application begins to take shape.
I generally use a vertical layout for my applications for example, but not because it's best, none of the 3 can be considered that, simply because I have more vertical elements than horizontal ones or that need to be placed in specific places given (x,y).

Wizard Style layout and flex items

Dear JHeadstart team,
We have several pages where the "Wizard Style Layout" is checked and where a flex item region is defined.
However, the generator generates the flex item region correctly, but the page definition misses the flexitems methodAction and invokeAction.
Standard pages work correctly with the flex item regions.
Current fix:
1. Switch off "Clear page definition before generation"
2. Manually add entries in the page definition.
Am I correct?
Remco Moolenaar

Hi Remco,
We also use wizard-style layout with flex item regions successfully. In our JHeadstart application definition, we have defined one Item Region in the Regions region container for each page. Within each Item Region,
we have included one item with display type = flexRegion.
For each Item Region, one page is generated and all methodAction and invokeAction tags are included in the page definition file.
Could you please provide more details on your application definition structure?
Regards,
Ibrahim

RawChildren ruins layout in Flex 3

Hey all!
I've been playing around with Flex lately, and having come
from a pure AS3 background, I couldn't help but create some simple
effects in there for fun. That's when I hit a snag. Now, with Flex,
I'd have to use the UIComponents' rawChildren object in order to
add widgets of DisplayObject types... fair enough. Problem is when
I do that, the components stop obeying layout rules, transitions
stop working, etc.
The best way to really demonstrate this problem is to see the
project itself. Here's a link to the project source:
http://www.thurinusworks.com/public/problem_src.zip
In there I created a Panel component that has view states and
transitions, and an Application that holds that Panel and houses a
bit of actionscript to create a sparkly mouse toy effect. If you
commented out all the script for the mouse toy, you'll see that the
Panel centers on the Application as you resize the window, and
clicking the 'Register' link would display a nice elastic
transition effect between view states. When the mouse toy is
active, the Panel position stops working correctly, and clicking on
the 'Register' link would simply display the view state with no
transition. It happens intermittently, but seems to guarantee
happening after the first SWF launch, so if you don't see it
happening, relaunch the SWF and it should screw up.
I don't know what's causing it to break like this. It's
either my error or a serious bug in Flex, and I dearly hope it's
the former... If it is, what must I do to fix it? If it isn't, is
there a work-around?
Thanks for *any* help you can provide!
Best regards,
Jay

I've tried some things to repair this within your code, but I
can't fix it without deleting the transitions object. So what I did
is listening for the enterState en exitState events and using
actionscript to do the animations.
Attached the changes in the code. Don't know if this is a bug
or if this needs to be done differently, but it is a workaround.

Gridbag Layout In Flex - Looking for canvasgrid

Hello,
I found a posting about a layout mechanism call canvasgrid,
based on the gridbag layout principle. It is documented at
Mannu's Blog.
It is a very effective layout, but the download is broken, and so
If anyone happens to have his open source reference The source
filename is canvasgrid_v0.3.1.zip, and it was originally located
at:
http://tasmania.globat.com/~mannu.info/flex/canvasgrid_v0.3.1.zip
If anyone happens to be a code squirel, like myself, and has
a copy of this, that would be great. I will make it a part of the
flexlib, just because it's so usefull.

Hi, You can try this:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import mx.core.SpriteAsset;
import mx.core.MovieClipAsset;
public class GameSymbols extends MovieClip {
[Embed(source='gameSymbols.swf', symbol='Coffee')]
private var CoffeeClass:Class;
//CoffeeClass represents the embedded symbol.
public function GameSymbols() {
//Flex defines CoffeClass as a reference to a subclass of
//SpriteAsset class - for single-frame SWF files or
//MovieClipAsset class - for multiframe SWF files.
var myCoffee:SpriteAsset = new CoffeeClass() as SpriteAsset;
//var myCoffee:MovieClipAsset = new CoffeeClass() as
MovieClipAsset;
//You can manipulate the embedded Symbol by using the
methods
//and properties of the SpriteAsset or MovieClipAsset class.
myCoffee.setActualSize(50, 50);
myCoffee.x = 10;
myCoffee.y = 10;
myCoffee.alpha = 100;
myCoffee.visible = true;
addChild(myCoffee);

Drawing different geometric shapes in flex

Hi
Can I know how to draw different geometric shapes(like square, polygon,rhombus) in flex and I should be able to calculate its x,y co-ordinates...
Let me know if any examples are there...
Thanks n Regards
Aruna.S.N.

Rob
1. The Shapes menu is on the toolbar.
Pull down the menu and choose the pentagon shape. That has a sliding controller that lets you choose the number of sides.
2. 30°? which is +option shift 8+

Since php files are run on the server side, can I assume that my JavaScript validations (which are part of a php file) will be done on the server side as well, and therefore are secure?
No. The PHP server processes the PHP only, and then sends the output to the browser, which is where the JavaScript will be executed.

Flex Mobile: 3D Carousel or Coverflow layout

Anyone know if anyone has implemented a 3D carousel or coverflow layout on Flex Mobile.
I did some searching on Google and found a few for Flex on the Web but didn't look like these would work in on Flex Mobile.
Here's an example..

Yes. same one. But, app is only internal enterprise app for my client and is not in Market.
But, here is my code from it ...

Layout form elements

I just started on Flex a couple days ago. My background is .NET. In .NET, laying out components for a windows app is really simple. But I'm not having much luck here. I'm supposed to replicate a paper form for people to fill out, and the fields need to be layed out as they are on the paper form as closely as possible. The form is a mortgage application, divided into two columns. The left column is for the primary applicant's information, and the right for the secondary, if applicable. So I've started trying to lay things out, but I could only get one component per row. So then I tried using constraintrows and columns but the rows don't work, so all the form fields are now directly on top of each other.
The mxml for the form is below. Should I try some other layout method? Can't I just drag and drop, and arrange all the components on the form directly? Why do I have to mess with XML? Also, I noticed the property window for components doesn't actual let you edit much beyond the id field, everything else has to be directly edited in XML. Is there a reason for that?
<mx:Form label="Personal Information"
                     width="100%" height="100%">
                <mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%">

                        <mx:ConstraintColumn id="RightCol" width="50%"/>
                    </mx:constraintColumns>

Hi,
Here is a fancy layout in Flex 3 to show how you can combine multiple component on the form to achieve multiple columns. I understand some of the new Flex 4 components might make the layout even simpler.
Hope it helps you.

Custom layout trouble

I have created a custom layout to lay elements out in a especial way.
But I want to enable mouse wheel function. Let every element move like in the path when they are staticed.
I try to change the verticalScrollPosition or horizontalScrollPosition but the result is not what I imaged.
So should override some function to achieve that ?

I think you'll want to override getElementBoundsLeftOfScrollRect() etc. This post has a code sample that does that: http://flexponential.com/2010/03/06/learn-how-to-create-a-simple-virtual-layout-in-flex-4/

Best practice. Flex Builder / Form Guides

Hi,
We have a quite complex form which requires functionality not present in Form Guide Builder.
My question is what would be the best way to go about this.
Create the entire layout in flex builder and later bind the form fields to it?
or
Create the layout in Form Guide Builder, bind the fields and then use Flex Builder to make final adjustments?
Kind regards
Lars

I am not sure that you are understanding how form guides works. Form Guides leverage the XFA template design in Designer to allow you to have an alternate interface for collecting data. The structure of the guide is built in Guide Builder but the underlying definition for the template is in the XFA template in Designer. The only time that Flex Builder would be required is if you wanted to modify individual components or layout styles. So to answer your question build the form in Designer then use Guide Builder to bind the individual fields and objects to the appropriate panels.

Spark Layout Question

Hi,
I am experimenting with Spark Layouts and this what I have
<s:List id="list" height="123" verticalCenter="0" dataProvider="{itemList}"
                 itemRenderer="MyRenderer" width="350" horizontalCenter="0" depth="100">
        <s:layout>
            <layouts:CircularLayout id="myLayout" />
        </s:layout>
    </s:List>
In updateDisplayList of CircularLayout.as
var layoutTarget:DataGroup = target as DataGroup;
for(var i:int = 0; i < target.numElements; i++)
     var element:IVisualElement = layoutTarget.getElementAt(i) as IVisualElement;
element is null.
I am using Flex 4.5 SDK
Any ideas why this could happen?
Thanks

If you do get to a point where you want to use virtual layout then this post might be useful to learn how:

Animate in custom layout.

Hi,
I would like some help regarding the following code please:
package
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import mx.graphics.SolidColor;
import spark.components.BorderContainer;
import spark.components.Button;
import spark.components.Group;
import spark.effects.Animate;
import spark.effects.animation.MotionPath;
import spark.effects.animation.SimpleMotionPath;
public class TestGroup extends Group
private var anim:Animate;
private var bc1:BorderContainer;
private var bc2:BorderContainer;
private var btn:Button;
public function TestGroup()
super();
override protected function createChildren():void
super.createChildren();
bc1 = new BorderContainer();
bc1.backgroundFill = new SolidColor(0);
this.addElement(bc1);
btn = new Button();
btn.label = "test";
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, test_clickHandler, false, 0, true);
bc1.addElement(btn);
bc2 = new BorderContainer();
bc2.backgroundFill = new SolidColor(0x7A7A7A);
this.addElement(bc2);
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
this.width = unscaledWidth;
this.height = unscaledHeight;
// Size everything.
bc1.setActualSize(this.width, 50);
bc2.setActualSize(this.width, this.height);
// Move everything.
btn.x = 100;
bc1.move(0, 0);
bc2.move(0, bc1.height);
private function test_clickHandler(event:Event = null):void
anim = new Animate(bc2);
anim.disableLayout = true;
var xSMP:SimpleMotionPath = new SimpleMotionPath("y", bc2.y, 100);
var widthSMP:SimpleMotionPath = new SimpleMotionPath("width", bc2.width, 225);
anim.motionPaths = new <MotionPath>[xSMP, widthSMP];
anim.play();
The animation "anim" does not play, from my understanding this is due to the fact I am setting the size and position of "bc2" in updateDisplayList (if the setActualSize and move of bc2 are commented the animation plays).
What I do not understand is why is the updateDisplayList called even though disableLayout has been set to true?
What is the best way to handle this? (set the size and position in createChildren...?)

Group isn't responsible for sizing and positioning its elements, that is what the layout is responsible for. It sounds like you want to write a custom layout.

IE vs Firefox - Flash / Flex Problems?

I created just a page layout in Flex 2 and am hosting it on
my laptop. When
I send the link (IP address and location) to a remote person,
they can view
it fine in Firefox, but in IE it wont work. It keeps
prompting them (and
myself) to install Flash 8.
Now, the person who brought this to my attention already has
Flash 8 on his
computer and I have Flash 9.
Why is this and how can I make sure that this doesn't happen
in the future?
Wally Kolcz
Developer / Support

The reason for having the wrong version number in the error
message is related
to the fact that Flash 9 hasn't been released yet. The code
in the project
sees that the user doesn't have Flash 9, so it then loads
special code from
adobe.com, which prompts the user to upgrade.
But, the official download site on adobe.com obviously has
flash 8; thus the
upgrade swf on that site thinks they need flash 8, not flash
9.
In any case, the real problem is that for some reason the
ActiveX version of
Flash 9 didn't install correctly on his computer.
