As described here, the dateChooser positioning algorithm does not account for the overall size of the window and this results in some clipping of the dateChooser window for the DateField. Take a look at frameworks/projects/framework/src/mx/controls/DateField.as displayDropdown function. I’m trying here to provide a partial fix. The ideea: trap the open event and reposition/resize the dateChooser. This can be done just by adding an event listener to the DropdownEven.OPEN event. to avoid problems if the dropdown appears on top of the dropdown button I had to move the code inside a derived class to access the textInput object....

Potatoes musaka (musaca de cartofi) is a greek inspired recipe, with arabic roots. I was thinking about the recipe a few days ago so finding it on Amalia’s site decided me to do it. Here is the english version with some small differences, I only take credit for the photos :) Musaca de cartofi Ingredients potatoes about 1 kg so that they are enough for 2 layers 1/2 kg minced meat....

For a java developer starting to work with flex seems quite easy. However since most people will never read the hole manuals, probably also because of this easiness I’ve decided to write some things about flex objects which are not immediately obvious from a java developer point of view. The flex objects are hashes This is the most interesting aspect of a flex Object from my point of view and if you see things in this way then the following might seem a bit more clear:...

The problem Sometimes my evolution email client does the nasty thing that it duplicates some of the mails in my folders. I can think of 2 causes of this problem. Either it loses the track of mails downloaded from pop accounts on which the messages are not deleted imediately so it fetches them again or there is a problem with the filters that it forgets to delete the message from the original folder....

Iata inca o reteta cu cod in care am incercat sa inviorez si mai tare codul cel plictisitor cu un sos picant. Update 20090127: am incercat reteta si cu merlucius si pangasius. Merlucius-ul a fost cel mai gustos si pangasius-ul cel mai peste si mai putin plictisitor. Cod in sos picant Ingrediente 1/2 kg file de cod inghetat 1 ceapa, 1 morcov condimente: 1/2 ardei rosu uscat, coriandru, piper, patrunjel....

M-am hotarat anul asta sa mananc mai mult peste asa ca am cumparat peste congelat de peste mari si tari.

Flex offers a nice way to represent data in a model and configure this model as a data source for a DataGrid or other visual components (ComboBox, AdvancedDataGrid, etc.). This allows for a quick start but sometimes deadends when a change to the model is not propagated to the view. I am trying here to explain a few aspects related to this. The first model [Bindable] private var dataSource1:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([ {col1:'1A', col2: '1B'}, {col1:'2A', col2: '2B'} ]); The DataGrid...

I have given some thought this weekend to the following problem: automate the update process for an application installed on several servers. I am considering the following elements: an update has 2 parts: database update (via sql scripts) and application binaries updates all servers are accessible via ssh I’ve decided to write some thoughts regarding the process. Database update There are a few elements which have to be considered:...

You can use your IDE of choice for the debugging. Here is a screenshot of the eclipse configuration: Remote java debug

When my laptop display died I had to find a way to continue my life work using an old laptop so I started searching for a way to create an image of my broken laptop on the old one, work on it and then transfer it back to the new laptop when it will be repaired (still not until a few weeks). My initial though was to use the backup mechanism to an external disk which I am using to backup data regulary but the restore process assumed an empty destination....
