In a recent project we built a DataGrid that showed paginated data from a web service. That itself was pretty straight-forward. It eventually required sorting. And of course the sorting feature with DataGrid would only sort the data within a single page when we wanted the sorting to be applied to the entire data set. [...]

Setting Parameters With The Same Name Using URLVariables
Friday, March 20th, 2009
The ability to set and send form parameters with the same name is available with URLVariables though it’s not quite documented very well (at all?). Below are 4 examples of setting 2 values with same parameter name. The first example results in 1 parameter. The rest result in 2 parameters as expected. // results [...]

For me, Facebook (free-access social networking website) is a guilty pleasure. I’ve spent more time on this site than I care to admit. When the chance came, I set out to use my mighty morphic skills to build a Facebook application. My goal was to create an application that makes phone calls from within Facebook. [...]

Saturday, February 14th, 2009
Like many people, I’ve been using the FABridge a lot and loving the simplicity it provides. Also like many people I’ve run into the following JavaScript error thrown by the FABridge: You are trying to call recursively into the Flash Player which is not allowed. In most cases the JavaScript setTimeout function, can be used [...]

Monday, February 9th, 2009
I’ve been working with a RESTful service layer a lot recently that uses XML with a default namespace. In an ActionScript library project I have some delegate and model classes that natually use the default xml namespace directive. Once in a while I ran into a mysterious issue where the namespace doesn’t seem to be [...]

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009
The default Flex Slider component allows you to click the track to update the thumb position but does not begin the dragging of the thumb. I wanted that drag behavior but didn’t want to write my own Slider from scratch. I love to read code so I looked at the mx source and found a [...]

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008
Many times you may come up with tasks that seem pretty straight forward but involve a bit of researching. In a recent project, I needed to find a way pass a dynamically generated image from one flex application (swf) to another. My senior developer suggested that I pass the ByteArray data of the image via [...]

For those attending the user group meetings where I present on the topic of Architecting Flex Applications you may have interest in downloading the code for the sample application. The sample application is from Programming Flex 3, where you can find more detailed information and explanations about the application itself. However, the code is fairly [...]

Jumping off of Joey’s post about anonymous functions from externalinterface, here’s a quick and perhaps obvious method of dynamically getting JavaScript properties: package examples { import flash.external.ExternalInterface; public class JavaScript { public static function getProperty(name:String):Object { var property:Object; if (ExternalInterface.available) { property = ExternalInterface.call(“function() { return ” + name +”; }”); } else { property [...]
