Problem: Flex and focus() from Javascript

Hello,
Here is my problem.
I have 2 html pages.
2nd - Flexwindow.html
opener.html contains a javascript which is similar to this:
var window2 = window.open("Flexwindow.html", "MyWindow");
function focuswin()
window2.setBrowserFocus();
focuswin() function called by pressing a button.
Flexwindow.html contains a flex swf and a java script:
function setBrowserFocus(){
document.getElementById("MyflexObject").focus();
So basicaly when im starting Opener.Html it will automaticaly run my flexwindow.html in front of Opener.html (opener will be under the flex page) (and this working perfectly).
The problem that if i will bring opener.html in front by clicking on it, and then will click the button with focuswin(), it will bring back in front my flexwindow.html (thats what i actualy needed) but it WILL AUTOMATICALY REFRESH SWF to it initial state (and thats what i dont need).
How i can stop refreshing this swf caused by javas focus() function?
Thank You

I've also tried this:
a) changed "name=" to "id=" in the applet tag
b) var theApplet = document.getElementById("html2xml");
var pagexml = theApplet.getXml(pagehtml);but I still get the same error.
Is my java code correct? Any ideas?
TIA

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.

Problem calling Java method from JavaScript in JSP / ADF

Hi all,
In my JavaScript onMouseUp() function, I need to call a method on my Java backing bean. How is this done? Info on the web indicates a static Java method can be called by simply "package.class.staticMethod(...)". but when I put the statement
"jsf.backing.GlobalRetriever.createBasemap(affectedLayer);"
I get an error message "jsf is undefined".
The functionality I'm trying to get is: I have a custom slider control and based on its value, I want to call oracle map viewer specifying a map extent of the (current extent / slider value) to do a zoom in/out. In addition, the slider uses a onMouseMove() function to change the size of the image display so it looks like a dynamic zoom in/out.
Please assist or let me know if I can provide some additional information. Thanks in advance.
Jim Greetham

No. The Java and Javascript in a Faces application are really working in two different universes.
Java is running on the server. It generates HTML (and sometimes even Javascript) and sends that to the client machine. That's where all your backing beans are.
Javascript runs directly in the browser. There's no way anything on the server can have access to anything you define in Javascript, unless you explicitly send that information back to the server, either via standard form submission (which only works when someone presses a "Submit" button) or via an Ajax-type call. So otherwise, nothing you define in Javascript will ever be available to a backing bean.

Design a template in flex and retrieve from AIR

hello,
sellers will design template by drag/drop controls in flex .how can we convert this template to AIR so that buyer can see this template in desktop(both online and offline).

Sounds like you are confused about what AIR is. Essentially, AIR is a desktop run-time environment for Flash/Flex applications. This is different from the standalone Flash Player in that AIR gives you the power to look, behave, and interact with the system (to some degree) like an independent desktop applicaiton.
As it pertains to Flex development, AIR is a build option and carries with it a library of classes specific to the target environment.
To answer your question, the effort required to move in to an AIR app is pretty minimal.

Problems rendering and exporting from Premiere Pro, Encore CS 6

I am having a problem with Premiere Pro and Encore CS6 . In Premiere Pro, my preview files do not get saved and I need to re-render each time I open the project. When the project opens it shows mainly red bars separated by blank (uncoloured) space. I am currently attempting to re-render this project, and it is stuck at 0.01%. In Encore, when I open my project I get the message The transcoded Dynamic Link asset _______ has changed on the server. Would you like to reimport it? I select yes, but am unable to preview the project, probably because it is unrendered in Premiere. When I attempt to build a DVD the building initiates and then freezes. I have the project set up correctly and no issues come up when i go through 'check project'. I've searched forums for solutions to these problems, but haven't been able to resolve the issues. please help! My computer is an IBM ThinkPad LENOVO W510 with 16GB RAM. The premiere project is linked to After Effects compositions

Hi Else,
Footage is encoded ONCE. Since the "MPEG-2 for DVD" file that you create in AME is DVD-legal, when you import into Encore, you will see next to it "Don't Transcode", it just uses the file as is. The .wav audio will be transcoded to Dolby AC-3 automatically when you build the disc in Encore.
So in AME, for Format, choose "MPEG-2 DVD", then choose a Preset to match your footage type, such as "NTSC Widescreen High Quality". Under VIDEO tab, you can adjust the data rate. For a short program, just choose CBR (Constant Bit Rate) and a setting of 7 or 8. Nothing else to touch in there, just choose a filename and destination and encode. Will create .m2v video and .wav audio clips. In Encore, use Import > As Tineline" and select both clips.
If source project is HD, then at bottom of encoder window, select "Max Render Quality", as this helps with downscaling quality.
If you say what the source sequence settings are I can be more specific on output settings.
Thanks

How to set item focus from javascript

Hi all,
i need to validate a form item with javascript to check required fields.
The function is :
function isRequired(field) {
if ($v_IsEmpty(field)) {
alert('The field is required!');
html_GetElement(field).focus();
return false;
return true;
Also in the form item attribute i added :
onChange="isRequired(this);"
If the filed is null, i see the alert but the focus is on the next item! How can i set the focus on the null item?
Thanks,
Sergio

Denes, thanks for your answer.
I tried
html_GetElement($x(field).id).focus();
but doesn't work.
Also, if in the form item attribute i add
onBlur="isRequired(this);"
instead of
onChange="isRequired(this);"
the javascript works with both solution (html_GetElement(field).focus(); or html_GetElement($x(field).id).focus();) with IE7 but doens.t work with Firefox 3.0.1.
Please help me, please
Sergio

Transfer Focus From a Child Dialog To its Parent Frame

Hi
I m working on a Multimedia Desktop Application. I have done alomst 90% of work. Here I have a problem to transfer focus from a Child Dialog to Parent Frame. Remember the whole applicatio does not use Mouse every thing is handled on key events. So I required to transefer the focus from a Child Dialog to its Parent Frame from key board. I also cant use ALT+TAB because
1- Child is a dialog
2- This is a Multimedia Application which will be deployed For TV production and can't allow any Computer
Components to be viewable.
So I want only key press to transfer the focus between Child and The Parent.
Thanks.

Calling1.4.1 signed applet from Javascript causes keyboard/focus problems

Pretty sure there's a JRE bug here, but I'm posting to forums before I open one in case I'm missing something obvious :-)
This issue may be specific to IE, I haven't tested elsewhere yet. Our web application is centered around a signed applet that is initialized with XML data via Javascript. We first noticed the problem when our users started upgrading from the 1.3.x plug-in to the 1.4.x plug-in. The major symptom was that shortcut keys stopped working. I debugged the problem off and on for about a month before I boiled it down to a very simple program that demonstrates the issue (included below). Basically, the program has a function that adds a JButton to a JPanel and registers a keyboard listener (using the new DefaultKeyboardFocusManager class) that prints a message to the console. This function is called by the applet's init() method, as well as by a public method that can be called from Javascript (called callMeFromJavascript()). I also included a very simple HTML file that provides a button that calls the callMeFromJavascript() method. You can test this out yourself: To recreate, compile the class below, JAR it up, sign the JAR, and put in the same dir with the HTML file. Load the HTML file in IE 5.0 or greater, and bring the console up in a window right next to it. Now click the button that says init--you should see the small box appear inside the button that indicates it has the focus. Now press some keys on your keyboard. You should see "KEY PRESSED!!!" appearing in the console. This is proper behavior. Now click the Init Applet from Javascript button. It has removed the button called init, and added one called "javascript". Press this button. Notice there is no focus occurring. Now press your keyboard. No keyboard events are registered.
Where is gets interesting is that if you go back and make this an unsigned applet, and try it again, everything works fine. This bug only occurs if the applet is signed.
Furthermore, if you try it in 1.3, signed or unsigned, it also works. So this is almost certainly a 1.4 bug.
Anyone disagree? Better yet, anyone have a workaround? I've tried everything I could think of, including launching a thread from the init() method that sets up the components, and then just waits for the data to be set by Javascript. But it seems that ANY communication between the method called by Javascript and the code originating in init() corrupts something and we don't get keyboard events. This bug is killing my users who are very reliant on their shortcut keys for productivity, and we have a somewhat unique user interface that relies on Javascript for initialization. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

I tried adding the requestFocus() line you suggested... Same behavior.
A good thought, but as I mention in my description, the applet has no trouble gaining the focus initially (when init() is called). From what I have seen, it is only when the call stack has been touched by Javascript that I see problems. This is strange though: Your post gave me the idea of popping the whole panel into a JFrame... I tried it, and the keyboard/focus problem went away! It seems to happen only when the component hierarchy is descended from the JApplet's content pane. So that adds yet another variable: JRE 1.4 + Signed + Javascript + components descended from JApplet content pane.
And yes, signed or unsigned DOES seem to make a difference. Don't ask me to explain why, but I have run this little applet through quite a few single variable tests (change one variable and see what happens). The same JAR that can't receive keyboard events when signed, works just fine unsigned. Trust me, I'm just as baffled as you are.

Problem in creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePD

I need a favor I am creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePDF for a web based application. Images have been generated on that pdf but it is creating problem for large size images as half of the image disappeared from that pdf.I am taking the image inside a canvas . How do i control my images so that they come fit on that pdf file for any image size that i take.
Thanks in advance
Atishay

I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are
100k jpeg files being attached. The resulting PDF is too large to
email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
size/processing?

Problem with custom control and focus

I've a problem with the focus in a custom control that contains a TextField and some custom nodes.
If i create a form with some of these custom controls i'm not able to navigate through these fields by using the TAB key.
I've implemented a KeyEvent listener on the custom control and was able to grab the focus and forward it to the embedded TextField by calling requestFocus() on the TextField but the problem is that the TextField won't get rid of the focus anymore. Means if i press TAB the first embedded TextField will get the focus, after pressing TAB again the embedded TextField in the next custom control will get the focus AND the former focused TextField still got the focus!?
So i'm not able to remove the focus from an embeded TextField.
Any idea how to do this ?

Here you go, it contains the control, skin and behavior of the custom control, the css file and a test file that shows the problem...
control:

        control.getTextField().addEventFilter(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
            @Override public void handle(final KeyEvent EVENT) {
                if (KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED.equals(EVENT.getEventType())) {
                    keyPressed(EVENT);

The test app shows three custom controls on the left column and three standard textfields on the right column. If you press TAB you will see what i mean...

Passing complex object from JavaScript to Flex

Is it possible to call a Flex function (defined with ExternalInterface.addCallback) and pass a complex object from Javascript? The properties of the object are all simple types, but the object itself is an array of objects. For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var arrayOfObj = [ { one: "one", two: 2, three: "blah" }, { one: "xyz", two: "abc", three: 3.141 } ];
callSomeFunctionInFlex(arrayOfObj);
</script>
What would I do on the Flex side to make this happen?

Complex object passing works as expected in Blazeds.
There are certain cases where you need to write custom bean proxy classes to marshall an object, but your case is very simple and will not require it.
Make sure that you set the full java package and class name in your remote alias statement on your client value object. The class has to be fully qualified. The AS value object also needs the correct import of the nested value object or you will get a compile error.
Make sure that the blazeds server has the full class path set to your java objects.
To debug, you can turn on Blazeds logging in the services-config.xml file like this:
   <logging>
        
        <target class="flex.messaging.log.ConsoleTarget" level="DEBUG">
            <properties>
                <prefix>[BlazeDS]</prefix>
                <includeDate>false</includeDate>
                <includeTime>false</includeTime>
                <includeLevel>true</includeLevel>
                <includeCategory>false</includeCategory>
            </properties>
        </target>
    </logging>

[Flex 4.5.1] How to remove focus from TextInput on mouse click outside of it?

For me clicking outside of a TextInput should always remove focus from it, only only if you click on another TextInput or Button.
I don't see any simple event like MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICK_OUTSIDE - which would definitely simplify things.. I wonder why there isn't such event. Well anyway I can't find any other similar event and I can't figure out an easy way to do this. I also wonder why I couldn't find a solution to this on the web easily... Well anyway...
Does someone know how to do that in a convenient way?
Thanks!

ok I understand why is that. For example I have a TextInput now where the user enters number through buttons which have mouseFocusEnabled = false, so the TextInput doesn't lose focus. But on a TabBar I had to set mouseFocusEnabled = true or when I switched between tabs -> switches between states, I could still type in the TextInput in the previous tab cause it didn't lose focus. Maybe TabBar's default value of that property is wrongly set to false.
Anyway, not losing focus when clicking outside is still weird. Take for example this forum, if I click outside of the box I am currently writing this, I lose focus. It's how things usually work. And flex focus is designed to work backwards to what people are used to, no matter as I already pointed out I understand there are cases it comes in handly. I hope I don't sound bad but take it just as a suggestion please that maybe if it is redesigned like this: clicking on component gets focus, clicking outside loses focus. But if you click on a button for example and you want to keep the focus on a TextInput cause you add some text, you should be able to set a property on the Button like maintainCurrentFocus = true (false by default), which would make clicking on the Button not shift the focus to it or set it to null if the component is a group that has some rect background for example, but maintain the focus on the TextInput.
I could be missing something about the current design of how the focus works in flex, but from my point of view at the moment, the design I describe to use is just like how I am usually used to be working with focus as a user, not as developer.
Maybe you could agree or maybe you know some reason by which things are how they are at the moment that I don't see. But if you think I make sense please let me know, maybe I could fill a minor enhancement request for that ?
