The documentation says to set -show-deprecated-warnings=false into the Compiler Additional Options. This isn't accepted, but I've found that using -show-deprecatio...
For a normal Flash/Flex application I would include my Unit Tests in my application project (perhaps in a tests source folder alongside my main src folder). I'd then have two application entry points: the app, and it's tests. How are people doing this for their Flex Library Projects? You know, the kind that produces a SWC file. As far a...
This is a two-part problem: A) I'm implementing several irregular drag-drop operations in Flex (e.g. DataGrid ItemRenderer into Tree). My preference was modifying DragManager operations to meet my needs, and in fact using DragManager allows me to do everything I need, but I'm having serious issues with performance. For example, draggin...

I have a small RIA that I built as a learning/make-my-life-easier project that uses Flex and ASP.Net. Currently, my architecture utilizes straight HTTP posts and the server responds with xml. I posted another question about security in my web app and some people mentioned SOAP. SOAP is something I've never actually used and I was wonde...

I am a ways into developing an client that communicates with a pre-existing server using the Actionscript Message Format (AMF). I love designing my GUI in Flex, as I've found refactoring my GUI to be very straightforward since everything is nested well in the mxml file. However, there is alot to be desired in the API's that are availab...
Hi, I'm passing the following parameter as an url fragment to flex. (#groupID=2385) This works great on the development box, but when I put it on the production server.. nothing. Do you think this is a server configuration issue. I presume that flex is talking to the javascript file 'AC_OETags.js' to make this all happen. Any pointer...

I have searched up and down the internet for even the slightest mention of the 'this' reference, and have found NOTHING!!! Nobody seems to talk about 'this' at all. I'm an experienced c++ programmer, so I am more than familiar with the idea of a 'this' pointer/reference. My question is just what exactly is the 'this' reference in an a...
I have two labels (A and B) in a Flex VBox, with the horizontal alignment set to "center". I'd like to set A to be vertically centered (in the exact center of the container) and B to be underneath A (or on the bottom; either will do). What's the best way to rig this? ...
