I'm still a newbie to Adobe Air/Flex, and still fairly new with SQL. I've downloaded this (http://coenraets.org/blog/2008/11/using-the-sqlite-database-access-api-in-air…-part-1/) code and have been looking over it and I'm trying to implement the same idea. I think it's just something stupid. I'm using Flex Builder. I made a new deskto...
Is it possible to directly access MySql databases through an Adobe AIR/Flex application? If not, what is the next best alternative? ...
What's all this business about Flash, Flex, Adobe Air, Java FX and Silverlight? Why would I choose one over the other? and what happened to Java Applets and ActiveX controls? Oh, and where does AJAX fit in to all this? and is Laszlo relevant? Afteredit (in response to some "d'uh" type answers): the question is a bit tongue-in-cheek. I ...
I want to ship a default SQLite database, with some predefined key/value pairs in a table, along with an Adobe AIR application. What is the best method to accomplish this? In my mind, this would be as simple as updating an xml file and rebuilding the application. I've come across this solution but it looks a little hackish to me (having ...
I want to create reports that can be drilled down by the readers - but the reports have to be PDF. I have two options: Link from the PDF to an online report tool Make the reports themselves interactive I like #2... I believe I can do this with Adobe AIR (Flex, Flash + Adobe Reader 9 or higher). There are tools that can create PDF d...
Hi, Is it possible to burn a CD/DVD from an Adobe AIR app? How? I want my application to take some backup on the CD/DVD. Any other options? ...
Now I must be missing something here, as this seems a very basic issue that would be addressed in any "Getting started with Flex charting" tutorial. However, all that I could find was hints that the chart should update automatically whenever the dataProvider changes. Mind you, hints. This is my markup: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf...
I have a situation where I'm starting a number of objects that, when they are ready to handle some input data, call a handler. That handler gets a dataset from an ArrayCollection of pending requests, assigns it to the object, and removes the dataset from the ArrayCollection. (I can't pop from the ArrayCollection because I need to searc...
I am working on a small AIR desktop application and I have some configuration infos that I want to store in a little file that's loaded at some point when the application starts and will be used to set public properties on the root application object. This should work just as if I had public variables declared in an <mx:Script> block at ...
What is the best way to get Adobe Flex/AIR to communicate with perl Catalyst? We are currently using Catalyst::Plugin::XMLRPC on the Catalyst side and as3-rpclib on the Flex/AIR side. That works fine, but I'd rather take as3-rpclib out of the picture and use a method that is native to Flex. From what I can tell, it's native compnone...
When I download a file using URLStream and write to a file using FileStream, where else do the file gets cached? It definitely gets cached somewhere, as the second time I try to download the same file, it comes down like a lighting.. ...
I’m looking for some samples/tutorials/general pointers in doing either of the following. 1) Create an AIR app that can load a live flex app and use that for testing. So we have a app which is live and if I could load that into a AIR app which can edit a config file and then test that config file using the live swf but inside the A...
So I have an Application Sandbox HTMLLoader object which I create in AIR and simply want to call ActionScript methods from JavaScript. In Flash, this is accomplished through our trusty ExternalInterface.addCallback() function. However in AIR, things are quite a bit different, and I just can't seem to get it to work. Here is a simplified...
I'd like to be able to run an xml transformation using an xslt file in my AIR project. What's the best way to accomplish this? ...
I'd like to play videos, as well as display images and possibly other flash content using adobe air, and reading from the local file system. I've been searching APIs and I have not yet been able to connect the dots. I know of flash.filesystem.File and flash.filesystem.FileStream and have experimented with loading and reading files. I be...
Hi folks, I want to use SAPI Text-To-Speech engine from my ActionScript or Air application. is this possible ? what are the other alternatives ? ...
Hello, I have an swc which needs to operate slightly differently depending on whether it is being hosted by AIR or not. I've seen two suggestions on the internet: Test Application.application for WindowedApplication. Test Security.sandboxType for Security.APPLICATION. However, these don't seem to work in my .swc as the compiler can'...
How can I create skins for Adobe Air 1.5 application, like Adobe Kuler? ...
As a side project, for "fun," I'm rewriting my blog and CMS in Flex and AIR respectively, and while I'm pretty well satisfied with the design thus far, the one major pain point remains working with (which is to say performing CRUD operations on) legacy HTML content, and rendering that HTML content decently in both the browser and the Fla...
Making another appearance this year at MAX was Alchemy, Adobe's C/C++-to-AVM2-bytecode compiler. It seems like really interesting stuff -- I haven't yet had time to really dig in and try it out myself, but I can definitely imagine putting it to good use. Wondering whether any of you've had a chance to have a look at it yet, and if so, ...
