I need to perform various sync queries on the client database, using data from the server database. For example, I want to delete all rows in the client.db tRole table, and repopulate with all rows in the server.db tRo...

I have a component I wrote that display a filename, a thumbnail, and has a button to click on to load/play the file. The component is databound to a repeater. How can I make it so the button event fires to the main application and tells it which file to play?...
I've written (most of) an application in Flex and I am concerned with protecting the source code. I fired up a demo of Trillix swf decompiler and opened up the swf file that was installed to my Program Files directory. I saw that all of the actionscript packages I wrote were there. I'm not too concerned with the packages, even though the...
I have written an AIR Application that downloads videos and documents from a server. The videos play inside of the application, but I would like the user to be able to open the documents in their native applications. I am looking for a way to prompt the user to Open / Save As on a local file stored in the Application Storage Directory. ...
Does anyone know why when using BindingUtils on the selectedItem property of a ComboBox you get the following warning? Any ideas how to resolve the issue? The binding still works properly, but it would be nice to get rid of the warning. warning: multiple describeType entries for 'selectedItem' on type 'mx.controls::ComboBox':<accessor ...
What I'd like to do is something like the following: FooClass.prototype.method = function():String { return "Something"; } var foo:FooClass = new FooClass(); foo.method(); Which is to say, I'd like to extend a generated class with a single method, not via inheritance but via the prototype. The class is generated from a WSDL, it'...
I'm having trouble connecting (via the Socket and XMLSocket classes) to a TCP listener after a connect timeout. I have a flash applet that needs to maintain a TCP connection to a server. I have implemented timeouts using Timers, a ping-pong system, etc. However, there's a problem. Upon calling Socket.connect(), the flash player (9.0.115...
Thanks to FireFox's buggy implementation of ActiveX components (it really should take an image of them when printing) Flex components (in our case charts) don't print in FX. They print fine in IE7, even IE6. We need these charts to print, but they also have dynamic content. I don't really want to draw them again as images when the use...
I'm building a listing/grid control in a Flex application and using it in a .NET web application. To make a really long story short I am getting XML from a webservice of serialized objects. I have a page limit of how many things can be on a page. I've taken a data grid and made it page, sort across pages, and handle some basic filteri...

I've only done a bit of Flex development thus far, but I've preferred the approach of creating controls programmatically over mxml files, because (and please, correct me if I'm wrong!) I've gathered that you can't have it both ways -- that is to say, have the class functionality in a separate ActionScript class file but have the containe...
I have a Flex swf hosted at http://www.a.com/a.swf. I have a flash code on another doamin that tries loading the SWF: _loader = new Loader(); var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://services.nuconomy.com/n.swf"); _loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoaderFinish); _loader.load(req); On the onLoaderFinish even...
I've been having some trouble parsing various types of XML within flash (specifically FeedBurner RSS files and YouTube Data API responses). I'm using a URLLoader to load a XML file, and upon Event.COMPLETE creating a new XML object. 75% of the time this work fine, and every now and again I get this type of exception: TypeError: Error #1...
I've got a combobox that sits inside of a panel in Flex 3. Basically I want to fade the panel using a Fade effect in Actionscript. I can get the fade to work fine, however the label of the combobox does not fade. I had this same issue with buttons and found that their fonts needed to be embedded. No problem. I embedded the font that...

I have a simple little test app written in Flex 3 (MXML and some AS3). I can compile it to a SWF just fine, but I'd like to make it into an EXE so I can give it to a couple of my coworkers who might find it useful. With Flash 8, I could just target an EXE instead of a SWF and it would wrap the SWF in a projector, and everything worked ...
