Quite simple really: var req:URLRequest=new URLRequest(); req.url="http://somesite.com"; var header:URLRequestHeader=new URLRequestHeader("my-bespoke-header","1"); req.requestHeaders.push(header); req.method=URLRequestMethod.GET; stream.load(req); Yet, if I inspect the traffic with WireShark, the my-bespoke-header is not being sent. I...
Goal: Allow the user to delete a record by dragging a row from an AdvancedDataGrid, dropping it onto a trash-can icon and verify the user meant to do that via a popup alert with "OK" and "Cancel" buttons. What is working: Dragging/Dropping a row onto the trash icon. If the user clicks the "OK" button, the record is deleted....
My Flash (AS3/AIR) application is currently using a slightly unusual architecture (for a Flash app) to provide particular base classes for loaded content at runtime. The external content is published with 'stub' base classes, which are eclipsed by the 'real' base classes at runtime when it is loaded. I've heard this referred to by Adobe ...
Imagine you're creating a presentation that will be translated into a dozen different languages, including ones with non-latin characters (Chinese, for instance). The client's branding style guide dictates that certain fonts are acceptable for certain languages. The content itself is required to be externalized, so that the text can be r...
I've got a few very short audio clips (less than a second long) to be played on various events (button hover, click, etc). However, there is usually a significant lag between the action and the actual playing of the sound. I have tried both embedding the sound in the .swf, and loading it externally at the start, but both lead to the sa...
I am trying the FDT editor on a project that previously ran successfully in Flash CS3. FDT builds and runs it successfully but the SWF is blank (white). I've tried a few viewers on the output file and it is actually blank. One difference is that now my project doesn't seem to include my entry .fla file. I'm new to Flash/ActionScript ...
I was wondering how many of you already used the Prana Framework for AS3 (Flex/Flash) or heard about it? I have found it very usefull but there doesn't seem to be a lot of developers using it... The link is PranaFramework Thx, Lieven Cardoen aka Johlero ...
Can anyone recommend a good (AS3) logging API for Flash/AIR/Flex? I need something to capture and record mouse and keyboard events in addition to coded events. Preferably something well documented/supported. Thanks in advance. ...
I am trying to upload files using the FileReference class. Files >2MB all work correctly but files <2MB cause this error: "java.io.IOException: Corrupt form data: premature ending" On the server I am using the com.oreilly.servlet package to handle the request. I have used this package many times to successfully handle file uploads from...
Hello, I am working on a very simple player written in MXML+ActionScript whose functions are exported to be called by a simple Javascript in an HTML page. Both codes are provided below. For the mp3 "path" all is working perfectly for playing, pausing, resuming and stopping... For the m4a "path", starting is working well, stopping too b...
In the Gaia Flash Framework, a file called 'Scaffold.as' is used to make each page a scaffold page. This is accessed by the code, new Scaffold(this); But the class itself does not appear to be imported. Am I missing something about the way flash handles external classes? Or is there something else pulling it in? Any help appreciated....
I have an MXML file, which references an external script file for all its event handlers: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"> <mx:Script source="LoginExample.as" /> <mx:Button id="btnGoodLogin" click="btnGoodLogin_onClick()" label="Good Login" enabl...
Here's the situation - I've got a shell that loads an external .swf. Now, that .swf is 800x600, but it's an animation piece, and there are elements that extends off the stage. When I load the .swf into the shell and call its width attribute, it returns 1200 - because it's including the elements that break out of the stage. This isn't wh...
I recently started to develop using Flex 3 and Adobe Air and I wanted to know what features you want to be in futures releases of Adobe Air ? The ones that I miss are: Cross-systems way of launching a local file (shellExec) right from an Air application (although you can do this using workaround at least under Windows) Ability to setup...
I have an application built in Flex Builder 3. It has a fair amount of mxml and as3 code which uses some other custom compenents. I have looked at the documentation on building components which shows how to make a simple mxml or action script component that extends something like a combobox, but I'm lost as to how to take a whole exist...
I have a simple Flex application that is a panel with a repeater inside of it; albeit a little simplified, it is like such: <mx:Panel id="pnl"> <mx:Repeater id="rp"> <mx:Label text = "foo" /> }); which in turn calls this javascript function: function resize(height) { // the embed or object that contains the fl...
I have been using Flex for a while and have not used remoting as of yet. Currently my apps use a webservice that generates xml that I use for databinding. What would be the benefit to using remoting over an xml webservice in this use case? Is there a general guideline when I should choose remoting over webservices? Why would I want t...

I'm a long-time ActionScript 2 user, now getting started with ActionScript 3. The one thing I'm missing is an easy way to duplicate the functionality of AS2's MovieClip.onReleaseOutside. It is almost always necessary to implement this event, otherwise you get funny bugs like flash thinks your mouse is down when really it's up. Accordin...
I've just finished a flash project where I did the entire project in "pure" AS3, without the use of the Flex framework. I found very little written about this on the web, so I'm not sure if this is a common way to develop RIA's, or if I've jumped off the shoulders of giants and done something stupid that will bite me later. It seemed...
