I just uploaded my first videotutorial on how to creat columncharts with axiis. I hope you like it.

The code will be uploaded in the next days.

My solution is to change the compiler in FlexBuilder. Just rightclick on the project Folder -> -> Propeties -> Flex Compiler -> Flex SDK Version . Change to another version. And then change it back.

Again, I decided to create the same application but with a Model as in my previous post.

This time I needed to show/hide a button in the main application when the user clicked on a button in the component. I extended the code, by trying to manipulate a second component.

This is the final file:

1. Step

First you have to create a Actioncript Class. In my case I created it in a Model Folder. I used a Singleton Template I found on the web. It basically creates an instance and checks that the instance is not repeated. First the template:

Now you can define new Variables. In this case I needed a Boolean, which I call ButtonVisible

2. Step

Now that I defined a new Bindable Variable, I can access it everywhere I want, lets say the main application:

3. Step

Lastly I can manipulate it in a component.

Hope it helps.

ChristianDataBindingExample

1. Step

I created a form that sends the required info to this file: createxml.php.

What the function does is to create a xml file (form.xml) with the following structure:

2. Step

In my Linux machine I created a script calling the form.xml file every 30 min. If there was a diference in the file he downloads with the file he downloaded 30 min ago, he would send an email to the person who needs to know if a new email arrived.

Here the script (checkmail.sh):

3. Step

and finally my Air App that reads the xml file from the web (this I created in FlexBuilder Alpha4 in Linux):

Hope it helps!

I needed to tell the main application to change the State when the user clicked on the button on the component.

This is the final file:

1. Step

So I started with this as my main Application file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" 

 initialize="currentState='State1'" xmlns:components="components.*" 

 viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html" width="257" height="167" borderStyle="solid" 

 borderColor="#192C35" borderThickness="2" themeColor="#1800FF" 

 backgroundGradientAlphas="[1.0, 1.0]" backgroundGradientColors="[#FFFFFF, #FFFFFF]">

 

 <mx:states>

  <mx:State name="State1" id="state1" >

   <mx:AddChild>

    <mx:VBox horizontalCenter="0" top="10">

     <mx:Label text="This is the State 1" id="label1" />

     <components:myComponent id="componentID"  

                                                  width="224" height="94"/>

    </mx:VBox>

   </mx:AddChild>

  </mx:State>



  <mx:State name="State2" id="state2" >

   <mx:AddChild>

    <mx:VBox horizontalCenter="0" top="10">

     <mx:Label text="This is the State 2" />

     <mx:Button label="Return" click="currentState='State1'" />

    </mx:VBox>

   </mx:AddChild>

  </mx:State>

 </mx:states>



</mx:Application>

And here my component based on a TitleWindow:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="400" 

 height="300" title="This is a Component">



 <mx:Label text="Click on the button to switch state"  x="10" y="36"/>

 <mx:Button label="This is a Button Component" x="10" y="62"/>



</mx:TitleWindow>

2. Step

Now you have to create a custom Event in the Component within a Metatag like this:

3. Step

We create a ClickEvent in the Button in the Component. The Button ends up looking like this:

And the ClickHandler which dispaches the Event in the same component like this.

4. Step

Finally the only thing left to do is to call the event in our main application in the component tag, like this:

To resume: I create an Event which is inserted in the component tag in the application (in this case, the Event is called switchState) to connect this event with the click Event on the Button, you create a EventHandler in the component that dispaches the Event. Thats all.

Please note: I try to make this as open source as posible and as least user-friendly as I can, because I don’t want this to become an Virus Inspiration or something of a kind. This has one propuse: Help my friend and hopefully some other parent. If you have questions on how to make this work, pls email me: cwaidelich AT gmail DOT com.

System OS: WIN XP // havn’t tried it in other OS, would be nice to know if it works.

Two files:

main.bat

[code lang="dos"]
@ECHO OFF

CLS // clears screen
AT 3:15PM "C:\WINDOWS\cw_shutd.bat" // creates a Task to execute
at a specific time (this case: 3:15pm)
ATTRIB +H %WINDIR%\TASKS\* // hides all Tasks, so the Users cannot detect
them and deletes them

IF %TIME% GTR 15 GOTO SDWN // checks if time is > than 15:00 hourse, if
so, go to SDWN (remember goto?)
GOTO END // if not, goto END

:SDWN // start SDWN function
SHUTDOWN -S -C ";)" // Shutsdown
GOTO END

:END
[/code]

and shutd.bat:

@ECHO OFF
SHUTDOWN -S -C "TIME TO SLEEP"

I saved them in C:\WINDOWS\ and hide them.
Then make main.bat run as StartUp Script, following this link.

Hope it works!

You have to have a look at this: http://www.cleancode.org/projects/email

Usage:

mail1.txt looks like this:

I just created a little script to send to a lot of people. It consisted of two files:

• sendmails.sh
• mailreci.txt

mailreci.txt just lists in each line a destination mail adress like this:

and

sendmails.sh looks like this:

Everything in one folder of course.
