Creating a Flex AIR text editor Part 33
In this tutorial we will continue working on the undo/redo functionality and make sure that absolutely all edit commands (inserting text, deleting, cutting, pasting, etc) work fine and are undoable and redoable.
In the last tutorial weve created a custom class called InsertOperation and were able to undo redo it in the end. It was a good learning experience, but after lots of thinking and fiddling around with code, I have found a solution that will not require us to use this class, so we really dont need it anymore.
Go to the doUndo and doRedo functions and simplify them to this condition:
Now, we will create an EditManager object for our text areas text flow. This time we will declare the variable:
And in the init() function we do this:
Now find the insertText() function. After a considerate amount of time of research, Ive found a solution to simplify what we have in this function to just one single line of code. And that is the usage of the insertText() method of the edit manager object that weve just created.
And now the text editing and undo/redo functions work properly! The code turned out to be much smaller than it was initially, but believe me, Ive spent a good amount of time on this until it started working like it should!
Heres the full code:

It was a good learning experience, but after lots of thinking and fiddling around with code, I have found a solution that will not require us to use this class, so we really dont need it anymore.
Go to the doUndo and doRedo functions and simplify them to this condition:
private function doUndo():void {
undoManager.undo();
textChange();
}
private function doRedo():void {
undoManager.redo();
textChange();
}
Now, we will create an EditManager object for our text areas text flow. This time we will declare the variable:
private var editManager:EditManager;
And in the init() function we do this:
// Undo management
undoManager = new UndoManager();
editManager = new EditManager(undoManager);
textArea.textFlow.interactionManager = editManager;
Now find the insertText() function. After a considerate amount of time of research, Ive found a solution to simplify what we have in this function to just one single line of code. And that is the usage of the insertText() method of the edit manager object that weve just created.
private function insertText(str:String):void {
editManager.insertText(str);
}
And now the text editing and undo/redo functions work properly! The code turned out to be much smaller than it was initially, but believe me, Ive spent a good amount of time on this until it started working like it should!

Creating a Flex AIR text editor Part 34
In this tutorial we are going to update or undo/redo feature by also handling tab changes and closes.
When the user changes between tabs, this action should be undoable and redoable too.
We will need to edit the tabChange function. Firstly, we need to make it public instead of private. Secondly, we will add 2 more parameters to pass (both optional), these parameters are ind (short for index) and createOperation (a boolean). Thirdly, we will add a conditional which checks whether the from parameter is set to operation (like we check if it is set to tabbar or sidelist). Fourthly, we will add another conditional in the code which will check the createOperations value and if it is true, create an operation object and put it in the undo flow. Finally, we will call the textChange() function.
The operation we are going to make is going to be a custom class TabOperation instance, which has 3 parameters - pervious index, current index and a reference to the undo manager.
Here is the TabOperation class, which has 2 functions performUndo and performRedo. There, we will call the tabChange function of the main application. Also, here we will use the pushRedo() and pushUndo() functions to add the operation to the operation flow when needed.
Now we will need to edit the removeTab function to call the clearAll() function of the undo manager - we want to clear all the undo history when a tab is closed,
And thats it!

Fourthly, we will add another conditional in the code which will check the createOperations value and if it is true, create an operation object and put it in the undo flow. Finally, we will call the textChange() function.

public function tabChange(from:String = "none", ind:int = 0, createOperation:Boolean = true):void {
if (from == "tabbar") {
tabSelectedIndex = tabBar.selectedIndex;
}
if (from == "sidelist") {
tabSelectedIndex = sideList.selectedIndex;
}
if (from == "operation") {
tabSelectedIndex = ind;
}
tabData[previousIndex].textData = textArea.text;
tabData[previousIndex].selectedActive = textArea.selectionActivePosition;
tabData[previousIndex].selectedAnchor = textArea.selectionAnchorPosition;
if (createOperation) {
var operation:TabOperation = new TabOperation(previousIndex, tabSelectedIndex, undoManager);
undoManager.pushUndo(operation);
}
previousIndex = tabSelectedIndex;
textArea.text = tabData[tabSelectedIndex].textData;
textArea.selectRange(tabData[tabSelectedIndex].selectedAnchor, tabData[tabSelectedIndex].selectedActive);
updateStatus();
countLines();
textChange();
}
Here is the TabOperation class, which has 2 functions performUndo and performRedo. There, we will call the tabChange function of the main application. Also, here we will use the pushRedo() and pushUndo() functions to add the operation to the operation flow when needed.
package {
import flashx.undo.IOperation;
import flashx.undo.UndoManager;
import mx.core.FlexGlobals;
public class TabOperation implements IOperation {
private var previousIndex:int;
private var currentIndex:int;
private var undoManager:UndoManager;
public function TabOperation(_previousIndex:int, _currentIndex:int, _undoManager:UndoManager) {
previousIndex = _previousIndex;
currentIndex = _currentIndex;
undoManager = _undoManager;
}
public function performUndo():void {
undoManager.pushRedo(this);
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.tabChange("operation", previousIndex, false);
}
public function performRedo():void {
undoManager.pushUndo(this);
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.tabChange("operation", currentIndex, false);
}
}
}
Now we will need to edit the removeTab function to call the clearAll() function of the undo manager - we want to clear all the undo history when a tab is closed,
private function removeTab(index:int):void {
// if this is the last tab, create a new empty tab
if (tabData.length == 1) {
tabData.addItem( { title:"Untitled", textData:"", saved:false } );
}
statusMessage = "[ " + new Date().toLocaleTimeString() + " ] Tab closed: " + tabData[index].title;
updateStatus();
tabData.removeItemAt(index);
tabSelectedIndex = tabBar.selectedIndex;
previousIndex = tabSelectedIndex;
textArea.text = tabData[tabSelectedIndex].textData;
textArea.selectRange(tabData[tabSelectedIndex].selectedAnchor, tabData[tabSelectedIndex].selectedActive);
if (closeAfterConfirm && tabsToClose == 0) {
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.close();
}
countLines();
updateTextSize();
undoManager.clearAll();
textChange();
}
And thats it!

Creating a Flex AIR text editor Part 75
In this tutorial we will make it so that the page icons in tabs change their color depending on the files saved flag, as well as make the status bar display the encoding.
First lets deal with displaying the encoding. I thought it would be handy to always see what encoding is set without having to go to the Encoding sub menu in the native menu. The status bar is the perfect place to display current encoding.
All we have to do to accomplish that is update the updateStatus() function and add a little of code to display the currentEncoding variable in the status text field:
Now lets move on to the tabs. The * symbol the application has right now shows that the files saved flag is off, meaning that the user has to save the file for any changes he made to apply. Right now this is the only indicator for that, but we can add another one - change the little blue page icon next to the tab label to a little red page icon. This is more eye catching and the user wont overlook it when looking at a long list of tabs.
First we need to create this icon. The blue page right now is called page.png and is a part of Famfamfams Silk icon set, just like all the rest icons in this application. This is what it looks like:

To make the new red page icon, open any graphical editor like Photoshop or Gimp and play around with the hue or RGB channels or whatever you want, and youll get something like this:

Save the new icon as page_red.png in the same lib directory.
Now go to the CustomTab.mxml file. Find the line which creates the BitmapImage object containing the blue page icon. Remove its source attribute and just set its id, set it to iconImage:
We will make the program decide what icon to put according to the data.saved value in updateDisplayList() function. Because we are using AS3 to set the source property and we still want to have the picture embedded into final project and not loaded real-time, we need to declare 2 variables with the icons first.
It is done like this:
Now we can apply the values in updateDisplayList() function like this:
Heres the full code of CustomTab.mxml:
Now go to the CustomListItem.mxml file, find the BitmapImage object and set its id to "iconImage" as well:
Declare the two icon variables just the same way:
And update updateDisplayList() function similarly:
And full CustomListItem.mxml code:
Now the * symbols and the differently colored icons are indicators of the tabs "saved" flags.

First lets deal with displaying the encoding. I thought it would be handy to always see what encoding is set without having to go to the Encoding sub menu in the native menu. The status bar is the perfect place to display current encoding.
All we have to do to accomplish that is update the updateStatus() function and add a little of code to display the currentEncoding variable in the status text field:
private function updateStatus():void {
var str:String = new String();
str = (pref_wrap)?("Word wrapping on"):(caretPosition());
status = "Encoding: " + currentEncoding + " " + str + " " + statusMessage;
}
Now lets move on to the tabs. The * symbol the application has right now shows that the files saved flag is off, meaning that the user has to save the file for any changes he made to apply.

Now go to the CustomTab.mxml file. Find the line which creates the BitmapImage object containing the blue page icon. Remove its source attribute and just set its id, set it to iconImage:
<s:BitmapImage id="iconImage" top="3" left="4" />
We will make the program decide what icon to put according to the data.saved value in updateDisplayList() function. Because we are using AS3 to set the source property and we still want to have the picture embedded into final project and not loaded real-time, we need to declare 2 variables with the icons first.
It is done like this:
[Embed("../lib/page.png")]
private var bluePage:Class;
[Embed("../lib/page_red.png")]
private var redPage:Class;
Now we can apply the values in updateDisplayList() function like this:
override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void
{
super.updateDisplayList(w, 22);
if (labelDisplay)
{
labelDisplay.text = (data.saved)?(data.title):(data.title + "*");

Creating a Flex AIR text editor Part 57
In this tutorial we will add the Save features for editing categories names and snippets names and text values.
Set the snippets save buttons click event handler to saveSnippet() function:
And the categorys save buttons click event handler to saveCategory():
Well do the category function first, because it is more simple. All we need to do is first get the ID value of the current category. Then we use this id to update the needed item in categories database. After that we update the item in the xml and call updateCategoryCombo().
Next, the saveSnippet() function. Here things will be a little bit more complex. First we do the same procedure to update the SQL database (except that we pass 2 values - the name and the text). After that, we need to determine if the snippet is located in a category or in the root tags.
Declare 3 variables, currentPos, currentCategoryID and currentCategoryPos in the function:
Now we do the check for currentCategoryID and use the needed path:
And the function becomes like this:
